"Speaking" 'Thoughts'

-8- Please, Please Forgive Me But I Wont Be Home Again. Maybe Someday You'll Look Up And Barley Conscious You'll Say To No One-8-

She was the first one to fall asleep Yusuke had already spoken and cautioned her father. Kurama watched her with worried eyes as she lay on the couch with her legs curled under her.

"So what's the plan?" asked Kuwabara

"We can't let her out of our sights even if she does materialize out and in we need to watch her more closely than before we let our guards down and it almost got her raped" snapped Kurama. Yusuke patted his shoulder.

"I know you're worried about her Kurama, hell I'd be the same way if it was Keiko. But protecting her isn't the only issue here there's that Misoru guy and the shape shifting demon"

"It's all linked to Tsuika," said Hiei Quietly. He threw a glance at her sleeping form before closing his eyes and continuing, "If Misoru gets Tsuika he'll combine the three worlds. If we don't find him and kill him he'll keep going after her"

"That Bira chick Tsuika mentioned we should run a check on her," said Yusuke "knowing who she is might be a little helpful."

Kurama nodded in agreement.

"Go…" they turned to Tsuika her eyes were shut tight and she was shivering. "Go… away…" she repeated.

"She's just having a nightmare," Said Hiei with a scrawl

"Should we wake her up?"

Without waiting for an answer Kurama went to her side and began to shake her lightly.

"Don't touch me!" he stopped and watched as she curled into a ball in her sleep. "Go away…" she whispered "leave me be…"

"I guess the 'you should never wake up a sleepwalker' rule applies here," said Kuwabara

-0-Dream sequence--0-

It was dark all around her. She was alone and cold to the bone.

'Where am I?' she looked around as she began to walk but she couldn't even see her hand in her face. She heard slow and steady dripping that echoed around her. She tried to follow the sound but it never got any closer. Suddenly other sounds began to swarm around her steadily growing louder. The darkness disappeared and she stood on the sidewalk of New York.

'What is this?' she looked around she wasn't far from the subway she looked down and saw she was dressed normally a glance at her watch said it was five. She looked around suspiciously and went down into the subway.

"Why so tense Tsuika?" she turned around on the platform and saw it was Kurama

"What are you doing here?"

As he approached her, she took a step back.

"Stay away from me!" he made a tisk tisk sound while shaking his head and looked into her eyes. He backed her into a wall she threw her hands up and tried to freeze him but nothing happened.

"Oh… scared without you're powers?" he mocked extending a hand toward her

"Go… go away" she whispered her voice tight with tears. He braced his hands on the wall behind her and leaned down toward her mouth.

"Why are you afraid of me Tsuika…. I thought you loved me…" she felt his breath on her lips she inhaled and swallowed hard.

"You're not Kurama" his hand shot out and fisted in her hair as he dragged her away from the wall.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" he threw her into the train tracks she fell off the platform and hit the rail hard her cloths getting soaked with dirty water.

"Go away…" he jumped off the platform and slowly walked to her "Leave me be…" she sobbed out raising her head. He knelt beside her and grabbed her once again by the hair lifting her face up to his.

"I'm not going anywhere… not for a long time…" his mouth crushed on hers she slapped at his body and his face but he wouldn't push away. She shut her eyes tight and willed it all to go away. Too bad, that didn't work tears streamed down from her eyes he grabbed her hand and held it tight she was powerless to do anything this wasn't Kurama she knew it by the look in his eyes. Suddenly a burning sensation flared in her hand she screamed out and everything finally came to a stop.

-0-END DREAM SEQUENCE-0-

She had been screaming and beating at the air for four hours.

"Is she possessed?" said Kuwabara earning a deep glare from Kurama making him jolt.

At some point that night Boton had showed up to check on them and found the sight of Tsuika tossing and turning she had contacted Koenma who was researching Bira and recommended they try to wake her again.

"If she doesn't stop screaming the neighbors are gunna call the cops" Said Yusuke.

Hiei walked to her picked her up by the shoulders and began shaking her violently. Kurama took an angry step forward but saw Tsuikas eyes snap open and her hands cling to Hieis shirt. She was sobbing uncontrollably into his chest while Hiei just sat there dumb founded he didn't know weather to pull her away or pull her closer. He kept his hands on her shoulders and looked at the others who were in shock.

'Oh blessed be it was all a dream'

She pushed herself away from him and looked up into his Crimson eyes she slowly let him go and whipped the tears away from her eyes.

"I'm such a baby" she stared down at her legs and fisted her hands she immediately opened her left and stared at it. She looked around the room a part of her had known everyone was there but the at the same time felt compelled to ignore them.

"Yusuke tell me you put a lighter to my land or something"

"Why would I do that?"

Slowly she turned her hand for all to see the red welts that covered her hand.

-8- Isn't Something Missing You Wont Cry For My Absence I Know You Forgot Me Long Ago-8-

"So that was his plan… get Sogiro to manipulate and plant his mark on her… she can't escape in dreams…" she had long stopped watching the horrid scene and was now curled up in a Cot in the corner of the room. The only light came from a pair of candles still lit on the table one black one white both for protection one for purity the other for banishing negativity. She was speaking aloud lost in her thoughts and in her fear.

"I couldn't help her… I couldn't' do anything... He blinded me… he knew…"

"Of coarse he knew what you think he's stupid?" the voice made her sit straight up she looked into the shadows and out emerged Momiji. Her blond hair was cut super short much like a boys but it fit her well enough her piercing hazel eyes locked with her own misty sea green eyes and she felt weak.

"I'm not stupid… and I never said he was either…" she looked away and lay back down on the cot.

"You know you weren't suppose to help"

"How can you be so fucking cold!" she snapped pulling the covers back and standing.

"She's our little sister and you just stood back and watched him claim her like he did us!"

"Not only did I stand back and watch but I planted Sogiro in her dreams I made her vulnerable… you know I never liked being the middle child no attention no respect it always went to her or you; the youngest and the oldest are always so spoiled…"

"SHUT UP!" her eyes were full of tears as she glared. "I don't understand you… 'An it harm none do what though will!' does it mean nothing to you!"

"Unlike you I don't live by those stupid little rules anymore they just held me back" she held up her hand and revealed a large black orb with fire glowing inside. "I'm stronger now, stronger than I have ever been without the need to stupid circles and incantations. Think of like this Bira if their really are gods up there then why did they gift us like this only to have us tied down by stupid rules? What good are these powers if we can't do anything fun with them?" she smirked.

"And stop the cry-cry routine the only reason you've even been protecting her and hiding her is to save your own ass. Your such a fucking coward" and with that she sank into the shadows, Leaving Bira to weep.

-8- Am I That Unimportant Am I So Insignificant -8-

With each passing day, she grew increasingly suffocated. They followed her everywhere in between classes, walked her home. Even on weekends. She was all for having friends but lately she felt more like a burden then a friend, or a girlfriend for that matter. There was nothing to talk about, their training sessions had gotten more intense and still she knew they were all babying her it made her blood boil. Her hand had reverted back to normal aside from the fact that she now wore a mark similar to the one on Biras hand. She had snuck away now and she was locked in a janitors closet while forth period went on it was better than nothing at least they weren't breathing down her neck. She glanced at her wristwatch the blissful solitude would soon end in fifteen minutes. She was writing poetry for once and practicing a few simple spells something she had to do without being watched. She peeked her head into the hallway finding it empty she wandered into the bathroom.

"She should be somewhere around here!" said a frustrated voice making her stop in the doorway. The girls voice carried into the empty hall echoing off the walls running chills up her spine.

"I don't want to do this anymore"

"You can't chicken out now you had your chance to get out u said no"

"Yeah but… I just don't want to anymore we're in over our heads"

"Says who"

"Can you really tell me you haven't gotten a bad feeling at all? Like something's gunna go wrong?"

There was an eerie silence then footsteps rushing toward the door she sank into the floor coming up in the janitors closet watching threw the key hole as Izume and Kasaki emerged searching the halls.

"Someone was listening to us…."

"Do you think it was her?"

"I don't know...most likely… common lets go find the guys"

"Izume…."

"LISTEN KASAKI YOU WANT OUT LEAVE NOW GO BACK TO NEW YORK BUT I'M SEEING THIS THREW!"

It looked like Kasaki was about to cry but instead she sucked it in nodded and turned to roll her wheelchair down the opposite end of the hall. Izume let out a frustrated sigh and ran down the hall once their footsteps had died she emerged looking around cautiously once more. She stood in the hall for a while staring after Izume before a wicked grin began to play on her face.

'Finally time for some fun'

She went straight home after school running to the girls' bathroom and materializing in her room. Now was the time for her serious payback she hadn't told the boys they'd just talk her out of it or take care of them themselves. She threw open her closet and changed out of her school uniform in to black jeans with combat boots and a black long sleeved turtle neck sweater. Her blond hair was down to the middle of her back now so she tied it back in a ponytail. She put on her silver pentagram necklace and diamond studs no rings or weapons she wanted payback the regular way fucking with their minds then going in for the kill.

-8- Isn't Something Missing Isn't Someone Missing Me? And Know I'm The Sacrifice You Wont Try For Me Not Now-8-

They hadn't found her yet time was running out too they had until sundown and that was only two hours away. They had everything, her school, her home addresses even her full name, but they still couldn't find her. That was their mission bring her down and take her to Misoru. Kasaki and Ryu had chickened out and gone back to New York he and Izume were the only two left and armed with very interesting weapons.

"This is pointless!"

"Not really-"

"We searched everywhere she wasn't at school or anywhere he said she would be! I think he set out for a good laugh"

"Stop complaining Izume, we're close, I can feel it"

"Please, you've been saying that for the last hour" she said leaning against an abandoned building at looking up at the sky that was starting to take on a tinge or orange. "I think she knows we're here… and she's hiding"

"What makes you say that?"

"Today at the school someone was listening into me n Kasaki in the bathroom I think it was her"

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!"

"I forgot!" he rushed her grabbing her by the neck and slamming her into hard against the wall.

"YOU IDIOT! WE'VE BEEN GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES AIMLESSLY! IF SHE'S HIDING WE'RE GOING ABOUT THIS ALL WRONG!" he spat, as she gasped for air.

"Now, who said I was hiding?"

He released her instantly and looked around for her. Izume gasped and coughed behind him on her knees.

"That's no way to treat a girl…. Then again she's a whore… but all the same you never did know how to treat a girl…"

He looked up at the fire escape and there she was dressed in black sitting on the railing her stray hairs blowing softly in wind as she smirked down at him, like she had him cornered. Izume got up and stared at her then glared at Goten.

"oOoO I think you pissed her off"

Goten turned to Izume and her fist connected with his face. Tsuika smirked down at them oh how glad she was that she did have the upper hand. She watched as Goten staggered backward then glared at her.

'I wonder if I even have to do anything hey they might even kill each other…' The thought floated in to her head it didn't seem like her own but she shrugged it off as they looked back to her. She jumped down and landed in front of them.

"Why did you come? To expose me again? Fuckeing up my life once wasn't good enough for you two?"

"Paranoid aren't we Tsuika"

She didn't flinch at the sound of her name which seemed to surprise them.

"That's right Tsuika Ruveta. Now I understand it your gunna turn me into Misoru in return for a whatever you want."

"How the hell do you know about that?"

"Stupid question" commented Izume

"So what I wanna know is how are you gunna pull it off?"

"Simple like this"

Lightning quick a string of green light burst from his palm intertwining itself around her legs so she couldn't run.

"Slow as ever"

She disappeared and reappeared in front of him and uppercut him.

"Not Quite" Izume got her in a strangle hold and refused to let go. Tsuka leaned forward and flipped her over onto her back. This had caught her off guard she didn't expect them to have weapons then again she should have known they weren't gunna play fair.

'O well fine by me that just means I don't have to play by the rules either'

She lifted her leg and stomped down on Izumes stomach repeating the process over and over listening to Izume scream out in pain as Goten snuck up behind her slowly. She heard a crack which was surly a rib and smiled wildly then disappeared into the ground as Goten shot out another sting of green. She appeared behind him, as he looked around dumb founded. She grabbed his arm by the shoulder, bent it back wards to an awkward angel hearing several snaps, and cracks her eyes widened and shined as he roared with pain.

-8- Though I'd Die To Know You Love Me I'm More Alone. Isn't Someone Missing Me -8-

"Any sign of her?" asked Kurama as they regrouped.

They went searching for her when she didn't show up to their usual meeting spot. Kurama had noticed she was fidgety in History while Hiei couldn't get a lock on her she had managed to cast a strong enough spell to keep his Jegan eye away from her so far in attempts to find her he blanked out and found himself watching Kuramas mother, Keiko, or Boton.

"No. How about you Hiei?" asked Yusuke

"No I can't find her"

"Guess this is gunna go the old fashion way" said Yusuke as they split up again.

-8- Please, Please Forgive Me But I Wont Be Home Again -8-

She killed them she didn't know when but at some point while she was beating them they had died. She stared down at their bodies smiling and looking at the blood. She knelt down for a closer inspection they weren't breathing and they had no pulse it was official she was a murderer… and she had enjoyed it. She wasn't planning on killing them but it happened. Izume had been thrown threw a window and had several broken and bruised ribs while Goten had been stabbed repeatedly with the knife he tried to slit her throat with. She spit over their bodies and looked for a place to hide them. She pulled Izumes body out of the window and threw it down on the concrete.

"Yeah… it must suck to be you two" she said with a smile the streetlight came on and she stared at it unconsciously picking up a rock and flinging it at the light it went out with a crack and everything fell into black.

-8- I Know What You Do To Yourself Breath In Deep And Cry Out -8-

And hour of running around in circles and they couldn't find a trace of her she had been home but she left no clue as to where she might be now. Hiei walked down a dark alley searching for Tsuika only to come up empty.

"When I find her…." he trailed off in the distance he caught a small figure hauling something that looked like a person into a building. He grew curious and sped up landing on the lamppost with the busted light. He saw her come out of the building with a cloth and began cleaning dark stains off the sidewalk. He raised an eyebrow and prepared to descend then he caught the scent of blood. His eyes widened as he kept watching, she paused to wipe sweat from her brow and caught sight of him. He heard her intake of breath and saw her smile broadly as if she had just done him proud.

"HIEI!" she cried jumping up and down waving her arms around and laughing. He raised an eyebrow and jumped down landing in front of her.

"I'm so happy to see you!" she threw herself on him in a fierce hug when she pulled away he looked at her bewildered while she beamed at him.

"We've been looking for you everywhere. Where have you been?"

"Oh calm down don't get your boxers in a knot" she said waving a hand at him.

"This isn't a joke you could have gotten hurt we don't know who Misorus going to send after you next tha-"

He was silenced by the look on her face her eyes were genital yet shining with something deadly.

"Were you worried about me Hiei?" she said leaning down so she was right in his face. He felt his face get hot and glared at her.

"You're our charge regardless I have to care"

"Do you care because you're obligated or because you're in love with me?"

His eyes widened and he took a step back plunging into the darkest parts of his mind. She had said it so bluntly he had never actually considered he could ever be in love let alone with someone like her. Yet here she was staring at him as I she knew what was going on in his mind.

"I'M JUST KIDDING," she said laughing wildly and pulling away to dance around him, he watched her and narrowed his eyes while raised an eyebrow. She stopped abruptly and turned to him her eyes emotionless with a small smile playing on her face.

"You didn't have to worry about me though I can take care of myself. And I know who Misoru's sending"

"Whom?" she smiled at him baring her teeth and motioned him to follow her. She went up the stairs and into the building.

"Hey you're a fire demon make fire or something if not you wont be able to see"

He rolled his eyes in the darkness and held up his hand, as a ball of fire appeared which cast a dark glow around the entrance hall. He looked around for her and saw her kneeling on the floor he walked to her and found her with a young boys head on her lap. She was running her fingers threw his hair and stroking his pale skin. He couldn't believe his eyes he had several stab wounds and was laying in a small pool of blood. He recognized him as one of the boys in the web cam the one that had been her lover. He seemed so full of life now his body lay cold and pale, his eyes, open with shock, were staring unblinkingly at the ceiling as she cooed insults to him. His eyes wondered around the room and came to a broken window then they drifted down to a girl just as pale as the boy with glass shards in her hair her face was swollen and bruised He shook his head and assumed she had been thrown threw the window.

"You know he deserved to die," she said drawing his attention back to her. "They both did…" she said raising her head to look over at the girl she smiled again and looked back down to the boys face.

"I loved him you know… and this is how he repays my love" she began digging her nails into his face "BY SENDING ME INTO HIDING LIKE A RAT!" she raised her hand and brought back down on his face. The sound of crushing bone bounced off the walls making Hiei flinch. She had materialized a hammer in her hand and it was now stuck in Gotens face. He didn't know what had happened, what to say or what to do. He couldn't move or think he just stared down at her as she gave the hammer a firm tug and pulled it out, making a disgusting wet crunchy noise, then let it fall to the floor as she began to sob placing both hands over her face and shaking. She had killed not even out of self-defense it seemed but for the sheer thrill of it. He looked down at her, raised his free hand over her, and brought it down on the point of her shoulder where it meets the neck. He watched her body jolt with shock as her hands fell to her sides her eyes were tear stricken and blind as she fell forward unconscious. His hair covered his eyes as he picked her up, exiting the building and walking out into the silent night.
