"Speaking" 'Thoughts'

-8- Pretty girl is suffering while he confesses everything pretty soon she'll figure out what his intentions were about -8-

She had been locked in an enchanted room inside Koenmas Mansion where she would be safe as the group went to investigate the bodies for themselves. They couldn't think of a cause for her murdering them other than her pure hatred for them they returned to the mansion and found her awake. The room she was in was designed to look like a bedroom so she wouldn't freak out it was complete with an enchanted wall to look like the outside. She was sitting on the bed Indian style glaring at the wall in front of her as if expecting something to come out and attack her. They sent Kurama in knowing he was the safest bet. She looked up when the door opened; she had not been able to materialize out and had been scribing with a vase of water that sat on a night table she saw what Hiei did to her and wasn't really pleased. She didn't exactly know why she was crying either, she tried to go back more but couldn't so she left it at that. She glared at him and stood immediately when he closed the door behind him. Her hand shot up and she slapped him clear across the face. Kuramas head spun from the sudden impact for a while they stood that way Kurama trying to comprehend what just happened and Tsuika with her eyes closed as tears flowed down her face. Slowly Kurama looked at her and saw her in tears.

'It's happening again I have no idea what's going on and here they go locking me up like I'm a convict.'

It confused him. Her hands were clawing into her own face in distress. By the look of the bodies, it seemed she knew perfectly well, what she was doing and here she was close to hysteria.

"Where am I?" she choked out finally finding her composure she dropped her hands and opened her eyes to look up at Kurama.

"You're in Koenmas Mansion" Her eyes were focused on the red spot where she had slapped him. She felt bad now but still she wanted out she wanted to leave she wanted to die.

"How come I can't materialize out of here?" she pushed her thoughts of suicide out of her mind for the time being. Right now, she just needed answers

"The rooms enchanted so nothing gets in or out" his hands were fisted in his pockets to keep from shaking her and screaming at her. She had murdered innocents maybe not in her mind but they hadn't done anything wrong yet anyway.

"That still doesn't explain why I can't use my powers" She felt her rage building upside maybe she could use that power here at least she couldn't even tell what he was feeling her Empathy was gone.

'Of all the fucken times for me to be normal it has to be now'

He let out a sigh "the rooms enchanted Tsuika, not only so there's only one way out but also so that nothing abnormal can happen you and I are human in this room so to speak."

He watched her for signs if aggression, her hands were at her sides but she was trembling her face cast down to the floor.

His eyes widened

'Is she scared?'

He wanted nothing more at this point but to pull her into his arms and sooth away her fear but that was impossible now. Koenma had ruled her a murderer there wasn't a thing he could do about that, he was to have no intimate contact with her no matter now much it pained him.

"Why the fuck did you lock me in a room like a god damn mental patient"

He didn't answer and avoided her gave by analyzing the wall paper.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!" she drew his attention to her. He saw her take a few calming breathes then watched as her shoulders relaxed. "Hiei was the one that knocked me out and brought me here I know that I'm not stupid. I know I'm not here for my own protection, But I can't remember anything that happened from the point in school when I heard Izume and Kasaki talking then next thing I know my shoulder hurts like a bitch and I'm blacking out and falling on someone. All I know now is that it was Hiei that knocked me out but I just don't know why."

She looked at him with pleading eyes it broke his heart to have to be so cold to her and he saw fear clearly in her eyes. He felt like he was her only salvation but still he couldn't disobey orders.

"Kurama what happened to me?"

"I'm not sure what happened to you." He might as well say it now to get it over with. "But You Killed Izume And Goten"

The air became stale she looked at him in shock then at her hands she saw her sleeves were stained but since she was in black she didn't know what it was until now.

'How?'

She stared down at her hands in fear, she wanted nothing more but to scrub them raw but she knew the fact that she had taken life would still be there.

'This wont ever go away… what have I done?'

Tears swelled in her eyes as she looked at the burn on her hand it had become outlined in black making it stand out.

"What's happening to me?" she said faintly. She dropped to her knees and wept into her hands. He heaved a sigh and closed his eyes to try to block her out.

"We don't know right now…but …" he ground his teeth together. "Tsuika Ruverta you are to be held captive until all the following issues are resolved. You are charged with man slaughter, assault, and theft"

He didn't dare look at her. He could hear her gasped breathing and feel her eyes on him.

"Assault… theft? What are you talking about!" she said hysterically getting to her feet and grabbing him by his shirt. His eyes snapped open and he glared down at her as if she had just spit on his shoes. He took her hands by her wrists and eased them off his shirt and down to her sides then with much effort let go.

"During the period of time when you were missing there was a robbery at a temple in another part of sprit world where several eye witnesses identified you and you're powers, and an assault on a sprit detective both leaving evidence that you were responsible"

"That's fucken ridiculous! What fucken evidence!" She roared standing on her toes to gain a little more height so they were almost at eye level. He sighed slipping his hands back into his pockets and clenching his fists.

"Eye witnesses at the temple recognized your photo and claimed you had burst in to their treasure room breaking items as you passed them. You took a three peice set of enchanted necklaces, earrings, and a medallion. Back in the Human realm they would be worth a fortune but here their dangerous forms of black magic and suddenly you were gone."

She sank back down to her heals in shock.

"And the sprit detective? Who was it and what the hell did I steel!"

"Her name is Felicity Moore and this is what you took from her" He took a hand out of his pocket and pulled out a pocket mirror. "She was taking it to Koenma then you came along. It was found on your person"

"Oh whoop di do a mirror! And would you stop talking all formal!" she honestly felt like she was on trial and she hated every second of it mostly because it was Kurama, had it been anyone else shed have been a bitch and tried to beat them by now. It hurt her, so much that it was breaking her heart to have the man she loved look down on her and make accusations without believing a word she said.

"It's not just a mirror its an ancient artifact that lets you see the location of any person, what their doing and who their with."

"Oh and that's such an important artifact I can do the same thing with a regular mirror or bowl of water and a candle or just a bowl of water It's called scribing. So lets see why the fuck would I need something like that if I can already do it with any still body of water and or any plain mirror?"

He stared at her she was making a good argument.

"Prove it," he couldn't think of anything else to say. She clenched her jaw and fisted her hands

"Fine" she said threw her teeth. She walked to the vase of water took out the flowers and stared down at her reflection. The image of the room began to warp and dissolve into grimy street corner. She focused on a single question and watched as the scene changed. Kurama wandered to her and looked in the vase seeing the images moved and twist then settle. It was a dungeon pitch black then it changed to two people chained into the wall their cloths torn and skin pale. The image zoomed in and you saw they were women with blond hair but their faces were hidden in shadow. The image burst and that was that. Kurama looked back at Tsuka and saw she was still staring at the vase her eyes moving as if she was following an image. He slowly passed a hand in front of her face but she kept staring into space. He snapped his fingers in front of her face but she didn't even flinch. Then without warning, her head snapped back and her knees gave way as she fainted. He caught her before she hit the floor, picked her up, and laid her on the bed, tucking her in he resisted the urge to kiss her and exited the room.

-8- And that's what you get for falling again you can never get him out of your head and that's what you get for falling again you can never get him out of your head -8-

"So how'd it go?" asked Kuwabara

Kurama said nothing but walked past them and continued down the hall. They followed him determined to hear the story. He finally stopped at a dead end.

"She's upset"

"Obviously" remarked Hiei

"What'd she say about the whole murder assault theft thing?" asked Yusuke

"She got mad and she half proved she wasn't the one who stole the mirror"

"Half proved? How?"

"She called it scribing I believe, I guess its basic magic but she made her point that she didn't need a mirror to check on peoples locations." He said tossing the mirror to Yusuke.

"So, how's she doing now?"

"She fainted after scribing I don't know why…"

They all looked at each other and fell into an awkward silence. Hurried footsteps made them look around the hall to see Boton coming toward them with a look of desperation on her face.

"What's up Boton?"

"I need to speak with Hiei"

All eyes fell on the fire demon.

"In Private if you will… Hiei follow me" she began walk back in the direction she came then turned and looked at him when he wasn't following.

"Your not in trouble if that's what's going threw your mind" she added he shrugged and followed her into an office. She locked the door behind him and turning to him.

"Hiei I need you to tell me what happen from the moment you saw her to the moment you brought her here I need to know what you think happened the works"

He raised an eyebrow and began telling her from the moment he saw her in the darkness to the moment he brought her to the others.

"I see," she said turning away from him to look down at the desk. "And if it's my understanding the mark on her hand is now outlined with black right?" she said facing him again. He raised an eye brow at her something wasn't right he had already told the others so why did she need to speck with only him?

"Yes but how do you know that? We haven't informed anyone yet" a wicked smile appeared on her lips.

"Oppsy… was I that clumsy?" she narrowed her eyes and smiled at him as he glared at her.

"Who are you and what do you want?"

She gave a soft chuckle then closed her eyes turning them from pink to hazel. The kimono she wore turned into jeans with a black T-shirt and a red jacket and her hair went from Blue to a short dirty blond.

"Nice to finally meet you Hiei, I'm Momiji, Tsuikas older sister"

His eyes widened as her he stared at her they didn't look a thing alike.

"What do you want?"

"I want to get my sister back…" she watched as shock and suspicion played in his eyes.

"Why?

"She's my sister and I miss her dearly…."

"How do I know your not working for Misoru?"

She raised her hands in what appeared to be defeat but he noticed a mark similar to Tsuikas on her left hand. She sighed and dropped her arms back to her sides.

"There's something you don't know about Misoru…He's our father"

He stared at her dumb founded.

"How do I know your telling the truth?"

"You don't you can trust that I'm not lying. But seriously Hiei we want our sister back" she said with here eyes cast down to the floor. "She needs to remember who she is"

"She knows who she is, and give me one good reason to hand her over to you"

"She doesn't know who she is. Bira and I Cast a Memory Spell on her to suppress it all if she knew where she was truly from, who her family truly is, and what she was born for she'd kill herself." She closed her eyes as if to block out the thought "besides you don't really think Kuramas her type do you?" His eyes widened with surprise then narrowed again.

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"She cant remember who she was simple as that we sent her away after the spell was cast hoping shed have a better life but much to my disappointment it wasn't any better."

"Again, what does that have to do with anything?" She smiled at his impatience

"I have a proposition for you. Bring my sister back to me and I'll guarantee that you can have her heart"

He stared at her wide-eyed then glared. He couldn't betray Kurama like that She belonged to him not Hiei. His clenched his fists in aggravation.

"It's not fair is it?" She his attention back to her

"What are you talking about?"

"He always gets the girl. You were the first to suspect her yet he was the one who got the credit for it" he knew what she was talking about now and glared at her "it must be hard knowing their in item, this is the first girl you've liked in a while isn't it?" she said coyly

"Shut up" he snarled temptation seeping into his heart

"How's it feel to have your future mate in love with your best friend?"

That was it he snapped and lunged for her throat. She gasped and held up a hand stopping him an inch before he reached her.

"That's not a very nice thing to do" she watched him mockery dancing in her eyes "She could be yours you know we can give her to you she's more your type than his anyway" she continued watching his eyes as they flared with anger and longing.

"Why do you keep tormenting yourself? Its obvious she likes you" she saw hope flash in his eyes but just as quickly as it appeared it was gone. "I know what you dream about at night Hiei I know about your desires to be with her that primitive instinct your fighting off just because he's you're friend" Slowly she released her hold on him knowing she had his attention now for sure.

"She doesn't belong to him Hiei she belongs to you" he watched her if what she was offering was true than what was the catch. "She can be yours we'll give her to you" she continued. "And all you have to do is bring her to me"

"What will you do with her?"

"Relax we wont hurt her we just want her to remember who she is and where she came from" Hiei looked at her with questioning eyes.

"She's heart broken, its obvious there not gunna last much longer"

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because she's my little sister…. And she needs to come back to the family"

"Why was she sent away in the first place?"

"I told you already we hopped she'd have a better life we also did it so she could get away form our father and stay safe but it didn't work."

"What about Misoru?"

"The only reason he's going after her is because she's separated from us"

There was a long pause he was debating the notion in his head.

"Fine" he said, "I'll do it" she smiled at him.

"Then it's a deal," she said holding out her hand he looked at it questioningly then took it shaking it.

"Bring her to the east woods after midnight wait for me at the heart by the willow tree" and with that, she backed into a corner of the room that was covered with shadows and disappeared.

-8- It's the way that he makes you feel it's the way that he kisses you it's the way that he makes you fall in love -8-

He was so gullible she had to laugh. She knew the whole pity the family thing would work she reported it to Misoru and went to go brag to Bira. She found her huddled in her cot mumbling prayers in old English. She heaved a sigh and sat beside her.

"Still at it Bira?" she said with a smile as though nothing was wrong.

"Leave me alone Momiji…."

"Well in any case I've commissioned an assistant out of the four little boys"

Her head shot up and she whirled to glare at Momiji.

"Which one?"

"Hiei. It was so easy you just have to know which buttons to push"

"Why are you doing this Momiji?" she said her voice choking with tears

"Revenge sister, its all for revenge against the world that shunned us"

"An it harm No-"

"Oh shut up with that, they're a bunch of ignorant minded simpletons. Grow a back bone Bira this is gunna be over one way or another."

She stood and began to leave.

"And who's gunna win? Do you think its gunna be us! Your not immune to this Momiji! Just because you're cooperating doesn't mean he wont lock you up and take your soul like the rest of us!"

"I know that Bira but in the end its all the same if we don't die neither will they"

She cast a look at her sister over her shoulder and disappeared into shadows leaving her to weep again.

-8- She's beautiful as usual with bruises on her ego and her killer instinct tells her to be aware of evil men -8-

Her Dreams were plagued with crucifixions and judgment. She tossed and turned in the bed as cold sweat ran down her spine. She saw her murder, she saw the blood… so much blood… they had tainted her, they had poisoned her. In her dreams, she was alone, abandoned to fend for herself, cast out of her home and shunned by the world. Her salvation, her only light had turned their backs on her. She walked empty streets in the darkness of her mind with tears in her eyes. The only time she had to actually survive was in the darkness of the night she didn't dare go out during the day they would all squeal and point then chaise her down with pitch forks or wooden planks. In one scene she had been stripped naked and nailed to a cross for all to see and mock, then at dusk they had burned her alive. She'd scream in pain and cried out for their help, but all they did was stand in the crowd, unnoticed, watching. She saw other faces too; like the ones who betrayed her and posed as friends. Then there were the other faces; faces that looked similar to her own, three of them, all women with blond hair. Past memories or what she longed for they embraced her warmly happily it was like coming home, but before she could ask them their names or take a closer look at their faces, they faded and she was alone again weeping in the darkness. She felt arms come around her and held on vast to the faceless shadow. Maybe they would save her… maybe they would end her pain.

-8- And that's what you get for falling again you can never get him out of your head, And that's what you get for falling again you can never get him out of your head -8-

It was way past midnight and as Hiei crept down the hall to take over guarding Tsuika's door relieving the half asleep Yusuke. Five Minutes Later He crept inside and saw her sound asleep the room however was in total chaos. He opened a small bottle of liquid and poured a few drops down her throat to insure she wouldn't stir when she was moved. He picked her up gingerly from the bed and to his surprise; she wrapped her arms around his neck making him blush lightly. He exited the room closing the door silently behind him. He had three hours before activity in the mansion started up. He exited sprit world and passed into the mortal realm. He was aware of the demons watching as he passed with Tsuika in his arms. He came to a clearing and looked around for Momiji. She was up in the willow tree sound asleep it seemed as if she had arrived before him. Not feeling the need to be gentle, he threw a rock that narrowly missed her skull but knocked the wood next to her ear she stirred and opened her eyes. Focusing she saw Hiei with Tsuika and smiled.

"You took forever!" she said jumping down. She stood in front of him looking down at her and smiling softly.

"Thank you" she said holding out her arms for her he tried to ease Tsuika into her arms but she tightened her grip around his neck and groaned in protest making them stiffen until she settled again.

"I should have known… alright then follow me" she gestured to the willow tree and knocked on the bark. Eyes emerged to stair at them.

"I am half black with twelve children and thirty nieces and nephews in total. What am I?"

"The year"

The eyes disappeared and the bark opened to reveal a stairwell. She gestured to him to follow as she descended. They passed dozens of doors she finally stopped and opened one then entered. The room was decorated mostly in black velvet with a candle chandelier. There was a round table in the corner of the room that displayed candles and, some things Hiei recognized as, tools she used for Witchcraft. There were shelves with bottles and dolls as well as Photos. Hiei brought her to the bed, which had a black Velvet Bedspread and Blood red satin pillows. He set her down gently but she still refused to let go of him. Momiji had to unlink her fingers and put her arms to her sides.

-8- It's the way that he makes you feel, It's the way that he kisses you, It's the way that he makes you fall in love -8-

"What is this place?" Asked Hiei once they had exited the room and were walking out.

"It's an underground labyrinth, it was used back in the medieval times to lock away prisoners and torment traitors." She said sweetly stroking the walls as if it were a favored house pet.

"Well you have her what will you do now?"

Her eyes shined as she looked at him.

"We owe you a lot Hiei…" she said flaunting over to him. He took a nervous step to the side as she came closer.

"What's wrong?"

"I... uh…" she had pinned him to the wall.

"MOMIJI!"

Momiji turned just as Biras fist collided with her face. Hiei's eyes widened with shock as Momiji regained her composure and began to lunge for Biras throat.

"GET TSUIKA OUT OF HERE NOW! WHILE THERE'S STILL TI-"

Momiji got Bira into a headlock and was beginning to chock the air out of her. Hiei watched for a beat then ran into Tsuikas room. He saw she was awake and confused.

"Hiei? Wha-"

"No time!" he picked her up threw her over his shoulder and ran for the door. As he ran she watched her sisters fight. Momiji saw they were getting away and attempted to stop them only to have Bira lunge on her. Once they were out of sight they stopped and smiled at each other.

"That was fast I though I might have gotten to have some fun with him"

"Yeah, well she was knocked out cold so we didn't even have to be gentle with her"

Momiji nodded and turned back to Bira who was now a 6 foot 4 demon with milky white skin and silky black hair. He wore a blood red robe and a smirk on his face.

"Do you get the feeling that was too easy?" he said wrapping his arms around her wast and lowering himself to capture her lips.

"Don't make me laugh Sogiro not like they'll be able to figure it out. After all Hesta's a good actress… she'll convince um… and by the time they realize it's not her it'll be too late..."

-8- It's the way that he makes you feel, It's the way that he kisses you, It's the way that he makes you fall in love...love... -8-

He kept running until he had jumped threw the portal of sprit world and they were back in the mansion. He took her to her room and closed the door behind him he then set her down gently on the bed and turned to leave.

"Hiei" she caught his wrist before he could take two steps.

"Please… tell me what's going on…" her head was bowed but her voice was choking with tears.

"Where did you take me just now… and what's going on?"

He turned back to her with sorrow in his eyes. She was so desperate for answers at that moment she looked so broken. She released him and waited for answers she was practically pleading.

"I'm sorry" he averted his eyes and began to study the pattern on the floor.

"Hiei please... Kurama wouldn't tell me anything… he was so cold…" she wrapped her arms around herself "I just want to know what's going on"

He lifted his gaze to her again and saw tears spilling from eyes that were tightly shut. He took a step toward her and placed a hand on her cheek a soothing gesture. She opened her eyes as he whipped away her tears.

"I took you to you're sisters, at least I though she your sister… she said she'd keep you safe… she lied so I brought you back. And as for the reason you're locked in this room I can't say" he brought his hand back to his side. Her hands were clasped together as she nodded.

"Do you hate me?"

It shocked him to hear her say that not when he was fighting his feeling for her so brutally. He smiled at her tenderly it was the first time he had shown emotion to anyone in a while.

"No, I don't hate you"

His guard was down and he wasn't thinking, he didn't hear the warning signs go off in his head as she took his hand and lowered him to the bed then began kissing him. He didn't think it was betrayal as he pulled her body against his to deepen the kiss. He had completely forgotten about the rules he'd lived by. He had also forgotten about the fact that the room was being monitored by cameras that they would check later on that day.

-8- Pretty girl... Pretty girl... Pretty girl... Pretty girl... Pretty girl is suffering while he confesses everything pretty soon she'll figure out you can never get him out of your head –8-

She awoke chained to a cold, damp wall. Her vision was blurred and her arms were numb. She was tired and hungry, her body cramped when she tried to move that was when she realized she was dangling against a wall. She started screaming, screaming for Kurama screaming for help for Hiei and Yusuke hell even Kuwabara anyone would be a blessing to see right now. She tried to break the chains with her powers but only managed to give herself a headache. She was becoming hysterical and hated herself for it. She took a few breaths to calm herself and tried to sink into the wall to appear anywhere that was populated with people. It didn't work; she started trashing kicking back against the wall making the chains rattle and dig into her wrists drawing blood. She gave up and stayed limb this was the last straw… she was numb now... officially broken… and betrayed. She wouldn't cry she wouldn't be sad… she'd wait… just wait and see what happened. Someone had to come in eventually. Even if it was to kill her or make sure she was dead… someone would come and she would hold out until they did… she had to.

-8- It's the way that he makes you cry, It's the way that he's in your mind, It's the way that he makes you fall in love, It's the way that he makes you feel, It's the way that he kisses you, It's the way that he makes you fall in love...love... -8-
