The hair on the back of Myo's neck stood on end as the sharp sound of metal against sheath was heard. They began to circle slowly, neither showing weakness. With a heavy heart she waited for him to pounce.
"Yuko how good is your sister?" Yusuke asked glancing at his blood stained shirt. Yuko kicked Kurama gently and turned to Yusuke flipping her hair.
"I'm not really sure; we've never seen her fight." Kurama looked at her puzzled, Yusuke turned and watched the fight this would be interesting.
"What do you mean that you've never seen her fight?" Kurama asked. Rin came over and put her arm around Yuko, the sounds of swords clashing could be heard in the distance, Kurama didn't pay attention until he realized that Myo didn't have a sword to begin with.
"No, Soto always took her to a different place to train. We were never together." They turned to watch the battle as they did their mouths hung open.
As Hiei pounced Myo quickly jumped aside, he caught her in side step and slashed, her dress ripped in a small place. Myo grimaced a thin line of blood appeared on her side. Hiei gave a quick smile of satisfaction, being his cocky self.
Genkai could tell that Myo wasn't giving her all, she had let Hiei HIT her. She held her tongue knowing the reason her Myo was doing this, to protect her sister's she had always protected her sisters.
Flash Back
"Faster Myo! Do you think that this is all a joke?" Soto screamed at the youngest from across the field. Genkai watched as Myo went faster pumping her tin legs. She was the most talented but she hated fighting. Suddenly Myo collapsed and she just lay.
"Up Myo, do you think that's it's feel sorry for Myo day?" Soto yelled, when Myo didn't get up Genkai walked over to her slowly. Myo laid her eyes screwed up with concentration.
Genkai saw that her ankle was in an awkward position as was her wrist. Both were covered in tiny sparks of purple. Genkai sighed, the girl was healing herself just to make Soto happy.
"Myo, why do you care so much about what that idiot Soto wants?" Myo grimaced as her concentration was broken.
"I can feel how much hope he has, I just can't disappoint him…I can't…" Myo was crying weather it was from her breaks or that she just couldn't handle her advanced perceptions…
"Alright dear, I'll take you in no child should work this long." Genkai was about to pick Myo up bust she stood and hobbled back to the field.
"I can't Rin and Yuko need to eat and Soto said if I don't get this technique they won't eat." Genkai hid her smile and watched that everytime the girl slipped the healing sparks covered the area.
End Flash Back
"I don't want to fight, please just surrender before blood begins to be shed." Myo had a level head, barely. The sight of blood intrigued the alternate persona in her head, she was Them. She was the reason that Myo was the best, and that Myo was timid. She was so forceful that the two could never bond as Rin and Yuko had almost instantly with theirs. She was named Ayo, and she wanted out.
'Myo, let me kill this whelp. Please let me stretch my wings and let the others free.' Ayo pleaded in Myo's mind. Myo brushed her away and dodged another of Hiei's attacks. When he came at her again she put up a force field with only a tilt of her head.
Hiei ran into the barrier full force. It was then he saw that one of Myo's eyes was gold, and half of her hair was turning darker by the minute. As one side took control the other fought back. The golden eyed dark haired one also had darker skin, more like her sisters.
He stopped attacking and watched in fascination as both forms fought. Soon the dark haired Myo won. The barrier was down and the new Myo smiled. Hiei cocked his head in interest. This new form had blacker hair than Rin her eyes were golden and her sking was dark.
"Umm…right." Yusuke watched, and heard a sharp intake of breath from Genkai. He looked at her and saw that on her face was an utmost look of horror. He looked to Myo's sister's they had stopped all activity and were looking at this new Myo. Their eyes had turned golden, 'Right…' he thought again.
"And who pray tell are you?" Hiei had as all of the Spirit Detectives had experience with other personas the closest that came to mind was Yuko Kurama. The girl closed her eyes and laughed. This body looked so out of place in the clothes.
"I am Ayo, I am your worst nightmare." Myo laughed at the corniness of her other persona. They turned to look at Genkai and the others. "You may want to leave…I may destroy some property."
"Ayo, please let Myo finish her fight." Genkai said pleading with her eyes. The girl laughed again, it was strange as though a mix between nice and cruel.
"Genkai I already helped you twice, this will be your third request." Genkai nodded. The new form nodded and a small tear slipped down the hard face.
"Auntie you shouldn't have wasted that…you may need it Ayo is heartless in the tournament she may create havoc I have no control." Myo voice came out of the strange body. Genkai smiled.
"I know the rules Myo, three requests no more no less, only given to those that you love…I'm sure that there will be another." The still crying girl answered.
"No Auntie Ayo will not allow it." The voice changed back to the others "I only allowed you because you saved her from that meat bag you called a brother." The right hand slapped the left side of the face.
"Myo don't be so hard on yourself if Ayo can not bring herself to say Soto's name than that is how it will be." A strange ripple went through the girl and soon the eyes returned back to violet but the body remained the same.
As soon as this happened Hiei began to attack again, Myo managed to create a real sword out of thin air and pin him to the ground with a flurry of arrows. She looked into Hiei's eyes and grimaced.
"Forgive the delay of battle but I hate blood…" She made the arrows disappear. Hiei stood and glared at the young girl. He pulled her close to him and whispered at her furiously.
"I know what you are, you don't fool me Fate…I know Them when I see them." Myo looked shocked and then looked at her hands. She screamed when she saw they were not the pale color they used to be. She began to howl and ran to the stream Genkai had running threw her temple.
"Hiei what the hell did you do that for?" Kurama asked his friend sternly. Hiei shrugged and sheathed his sword.
"I need a demon to demon talk with you later…but for now you need to talk to Genkai about her nieces…or should I say Fate, Destiny and Karma or Them." He left Kurama with a look of shock on his face before he went off to wait.
Myo sat near the stream talking with Ayo. She had dried her tears and was looking at her new self, liking and not liking it.
"Why Ayo? Why do always have to do this to me?" Ayo grinned at her from the stream.
"Because you refuse me at all times. If we merge we will be more powerful."
"If we merge the world will end."
"No dear one, then weight of the world will be on us."
"I don't want it."
"You have to face it Myo we are one, and you already feel the world's pain why not feel all that is good about it?" Myo sighed Ayo was right and both knew it.
"You promise me, that it won't hurt and that we will just be one body not one mind?"
"I would promise you the moon and stars if you would just let us be one."
"Alright, but you have to let more people in."
