Chapter 3

I didn't try to run from them, but that made them all the more confused. "Phoenix will you please answer our questions today?" I looked up at Koenma from the chair I had sat in yesterday. I then looked up at the lights. "This room should be darker." I whispered. "Why?" Koenma asked me. "Because the lights are giving me a headache." I said looking towards the door. Don't think of running onna! I rolled my eyes, "I wasn't planning on it Hiei so stop with the threats. You're not the only one who sticks to their promises." I said menacingly. "Promises...of what kind?" Koenma asked. I looked at him. "You don't want to know." I then looked down at the floor.

"What's wrong?" Kurama asked me kindly. "I hate you guys...not to mention I'm bored! Anyone got a knife? Or can you at least give me my blades?" I asked them.

Koenma looked at me nuts. "You would try to kill us all we're not stupid!" I smirked cruelly at this pint sized ruler. "Well you sure as hell aren't smart. I want to cut myself stupid...it gives me something to do." I sighed. "You shouldn't cut yourself." Kurama said sitting in a chair on the other side of the room. "Well what are you my Mother...wait no you're a guy...so are you my Father? Please who cares...I've been doin' this shit since I was three." I looked at Koenma. "If it gets me out of here I'll answer some stupid questions." He nodded.

"Are you anything more then what your file says?" I looked at him weird, "Maybe...I don't know what all I am or what's in the stupid file of mine." He nodded, "Fire, ice, wind, and shadow is what it says...are you more then that?" I shook my head, "I know how to purr like a cat, howl like a wolf, and I know how to call like a phoenix that's all. I can act like an animal at times." I meant every word I said. "Who do you work for?" I didn't answer that. "Who do you work for Phoenix?"

I sneered at him, "I'm not a traitor...no matter what I won't say!" I shouted. "Okay...what does your boss want you to do?" I smirked. "I'm only an assassin what else do you think he'll want me to do?" I asked him. "Who's your next hit?" Yusuke asked. I looked at Yusuke, "As I said I'm not a traitor. I do my job, I get paid, and I get a place to stay...I won't betray my as you say boss." Koenma sighed, "We can help you if you help us." I looked at Koenma. I wondered what he meant by that. "How can you help me; I'm not in any danger." I said sitting back crossed legged. "We can take that curse off you...we could keep you safe. And yes you are in danger. People have been looking to kill you for a while. Seems like Hell's Phoenix has been making a few enemies lately."

I shrugged. "I can't betray the one that raised me...even if he gets on my nerves." I looked down at my hands. "What's more important then your life?" Koenma asked making me smirk. "I hold on to the one thing more than anything; honor. I've never stabbed someone in the back...I've always have killed ones equal to me...he knew I would only work that way." I stated. "Well...you would be saving yourself, and helping us find out what he plans on doin' next." Koenma said around that stupid binky of his. "I have no idea what he plans on next. I get my job and that's all. I'm only his top assassin." I thought about it for a minute.

"Okay...can we at least know what he is...or his name?"

"He's a vampire angel." Koenma nodded. I was angry that I even told them that much. "Okay...give her a room." I shook my head. "What!" They all looked at me. "Why should I get a room...aren't I a prisoner?" I asked confused. "You actually liked sleeping in a cell?" Kuwabara asked me. "I'm use to it...I didn't even sleep on the bed at Lucy's house. I sleep in a dark corner." The two idiots couldn't believe it. "Yes you are getting a room...but you will stay in there at night for now." I sighed. "Great just what I need another night stuck indoors well the blood harvest is goin on out doors." I mumbled to my self. "Yes the blood harvest...well I guess if someone went with you." I nodded, "Thanks." I looked at all these people.

"Are you sure you won't tell us who you work for?" I thought about it. "I think if I did you would have more problems then just me. My lord has many assassins...I'm his favorite." They nodded understanding I wouldn't tell. I then stood scaring everyone there. I walked over towards a window and looked out. "After having my first punishment from him I don't want another."

I had ran away wanting to be alone. When someone found me and took me back; I couldn't even move for at least a week.

"DO you fear him?" I shook my head. "No I just like to be able to move if and when I want to." I stated seeing Shadow in the woods. "What did he do to you?" I turned, and looked at Koenma. "He tamed my hatred towards him. I had just turned sixteen and he started bugging me so I ran away to be alone. But when I was captured by one of my friends he made sure that I couldn't even move for a week. I couldn't walk till about two weeks later. As I said I'm used to being in a cell." I said smiling weakly remembering the pain fueled many things.

"Wow." Is all Kuwabara could say. "It seems to me you still hate him...why not betray him and help us stop him?" Yusuke asked. "Because first off...yeah I hate him. He's been asking me to be his mate for to fucking long and I can't take it anymore! Second off he should get his ass kicked for once, but still I'm not that kind of person to just sit here and tell on others. Not unless I plan on killing them myself." I stated. "Why just kill him?" I laughed at this, "Because you fool...he's no match for me...even if I did kill him the others might just decide to kill me." I stated.

The idiots were starting to bug me with questions. The lights soon started to dim. "Shut up! Just Shut UP!" I screamed. I heard a howl out side the office door. I howled back. It was Shadow. He busted down the office door. He came to me with my stuff.

He shifted form. He stood in his normal form, and gave me my things. "Girl I don't think this shit is good for you." I took out my ring and teleported us back to Yuki's palace.

I stormed into the doors. Koenma seemed worried about something besides the fact I could kill them if wanted. And I wanted to know what scared him so.

I stormed into the palace hurting, or killing who ever got in my way. Friend or no friend I didn't care who they were I was going to find out what was going on.

I tore his doors down to find Lord Yuki working at his desk. "So what's with you making me get caught just to be questioned, for? Wait scratch that! What are you up to?" I asked him as Shadow stood beside me. "Look little girl you will do what I told you to do!" He said standing up to face me. "No not until I know what you plan on doin' after I kill them!" I screamed. "I plan on taking a jewel from them...The Jewel of Destiny." I nodded, "Because you have the other three only because I killed the holders of it. You plan on destroying the spirit world." He nodded. "I can't let you do that! If I helped you with that I would hold no honor to my name." I stated. He shrugged taking out a sword, and coming after me. I dodged the sword, and put a shadow bubble around him. "Let me out of here!" He screamed weakly. "Why should I when I can take your power and make it mine this way?" I asked him coldly. "Why would you?" He asked me sounding weak.

"Because my Lord of what you have done to me. Badgering me every time you see me. Why shouldn't I? At least then you will be dead, and nothing can happen." I said. He didn't speak; I didn't even hear him breathe. I waited a couple more minutes then let the bubble disappear as his power be came my own. "Thank you Lord Yuki for being training me to the fullest." I said walking over his skeleton. I then thought on proof for Koenma. SO I went back to his body, and ripped off his head. I grabbed my clothes, and things; not to mention the jewels he had. Shadow grabbed a bag to put Yuki's head in. I let him carry it as I teleported us to the dungeon of Koenma's palace. "Why are we down here?" I looked at Shadow, "Scared are you?" He shook his head. I walked out the dungeon doors, and back to Koenma's office.

"Sorry had some business to take care of." I said dropping the jewels on Koenma's desk. "I've always done a job with out question till now." I said. "Go ahead give him your gift." I said slyly. He nodded, and dropped the bag on his desk. "You open it you see my boss...you have what he took from my victims, and I have clothes to change into. He wanted to destroy the spirit world...or so I just learned." I said as Koenma looked into the bag to see Yuki's head. "This was your boss!" I shook my head. "That's after what I did to him." Koenma nodded looking like he was gonna be sick. "And what did you exactly do?" I smirked, "I put him in a shadow bubble and sucked the life out of him." I said hatefully. "Now, that's something new." I turned to Kuwabara.

"I was trained to my fullest or so I've been told...but that's one of my nice ways to kill. You see they are only in there for a couple of minutes before they die out complete...so they have a few minutes to pray or do what they want. But when they die there power becomes mine." They shivered.

If that was confusing tell me.And please Review.
