Chapter 3
The other girls ran up and hugged Risty.
"Aaya!" a blue haired girl with ears and a fish tail (like Juri the Dark Tournament announcer girl's) cried.
"Yume!" Risty hugged the water sprite, screaming happily.
"What are you doing here?" a brown haired girl with a quiver over her shoulder asked.
"I'm here with my team." she nodded at the girls standing in the hotel room door. "Kagame, this is Ryu, Kina, Rogue, and Kitten." she nodded at the guys. "This is Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei. Everyone, this is Yume, Kagame, Hiroyuki, Sakura, Marissa, and Kitten, and that's Sasuke."
The young man didn't respond to his introduction, he just stood farther down the hall in shock.
"What? Did you manage to lose what little manners you had over the past nineteen years?" Risty asked sharply.
Sasuke slightly nodded his head. "Please to meet you." he murmured, never taking his eyes off of Risty.
"So Koga and Kana get to know you're alive and we don't?" a blond girl wearing a red kimono with gold fans embroidered on it asked. "What kind of shit is that?"
"Yuki!" Risty scolded. "Watch your language! And they only got to know because they're on Koenma's team. Why are you guys here anyway?"
"The Master sent us to beat his rival's team." a tall, white haired elf answered. "And it gives us a chance to kill Kurai without getting in trouble. I'm sorry we didn't listen sooner."
"Chill, Sakura. I got the entire story about what happened from our canine friends over there." Risty said, nodding to the ignored Koga and Kana.
"Well, nice to see you alive." a shorter, dark skinned demon commented, her dark eyes cold beneath her black bangs. The only thing keeping her from being a normal human child was her long, whip-like tail and the assortment of piercings on her ears and eyebrows.
"Marissa, glad to hear you graduated." Risty said, fighting to keep her voice calm.
"I had a great teacher." Marissa whispered.
"So did I."
"For once in your existence could you just accept a compliment without trying to give credit to someone else?" she yelled. "Who cares if Kit taught you well, you were still a great teacher and for once just smile and say 'Thank you'!"
Risty smiled slightly. "Don't make me hug you." she threatened.
Marissa shut up quickly and hid behind Yume. "She threatened to hug me!"
"So your name's Kitten too?" Kitten was asking the new girl.
"Yeah, but for the sake of everyone involved you can just call me Faith." the other cat-demon told her.
"Faith?"
"I'm very religious, it's more of a mocking nickname but it'll make it easier to understand who's who."
"Alright, Faith."
"Does anyone else feel really out of place?" Yusuke asked.
"Yeah actually." Kuwabara answered.
"Don't worry about it." Yume told them. The four boys jumped, they hadn't heard the girl walk up. "We haven't seen Aaya, excuse me, Risty for almost nineteen years. Everyone has a lot of catching up to do."
"How is that supposed to make us feel better?" Yusuke asked.
"Because, in a few minutes either Faith or Yuki will notice you and they'll be over here in half a heart beat." she explained.
"Who are all of you?" Kurama asked.
"Assassins. Faith's a cat-demon, obviously, Kagame is a priestess, Sakura is an elf from Fraskra, the Forgotten Realm..."
"What's the Forgotten Realm?" Kuwabara asked.
"I've only heard of it in legends." Kurama began. "But that's where Ris's from. It's like Human World, or Demon World, or Spirit World, except no one has ever traveled from there to the outside, or the other way around. The homes of the elves and dwarves, as well as the sacred temples of the old gods is located there. Because no one has ever passed to or from that realm it is only remembered in stories and fairy tales. That's why it is called the 'Forgotten' Realm."
"Exactly." Yume nodded. "Now, Hiroyuki is our extra, her mother was a human, a geisha, she taught Yuki amazing things. She uses everything her mother taught her as a part of her fighting style. Everyone at the Hive calls her BBD, Beautiful But Deadly. Marissa is half chameleon and half we don't know, she's very sensitive about being half chameleon though so don't mention it. I'm..."
"What do you mean she's half chameleon! Aren't those little lizard things that change color?" Kuwabara asked.
"Hn. No you moron. Chameleons are a type of demon, they're normally about seven to ten feet tall and resemble lizards that walk around on their hind legs. They have the ability to take the shape of anyone, human or demon." Hiei explained.
"Whoa. Can she do that?" Yusuke asked. "Look like someone else?"
"No, she never tried. Chameleons normally work for human scumbags doing all of the dirty work. She doesn't like people knowing she's half chameleon so she doesn't try transforming." Yume scolded.
"And if I may ask, what are you?" Kurama asked.
"I'm a water sprite." she answered plainly. She turned around to show the boys the two small, semi-transparent, blue wings sprouting from her back. "They aren't useful for anything other than letting people know what I am, but give me another fifty years and then you'll see something worth gawking at." she told the boys after looking at their shocked expressions.
"Well, well, well, what have we here?" Yuki came slowly walking over to Yume and the guys. "What are you five doing over here by yourselves?"
"Told you." Yume whispered to Yusuke.
"Risty!" a sharp voice yelled.
Sorry, more suspense. I'll update it now, promise!
