Shade- Three… I don't own YYH

Extra note: Please give me name ideas for the Reaper. I have no idea what the female grim reaper's name would be. It's not like I can name her Bubbles or Fluffy. Maybe… Bambi? NO! Please help me in deciding and give me your thoughts or else I won't update.

Chapter 3: Thicker soul

Death. The end to all pain is what everyone thought. However, for the unfortunate, it was just the beginning. She was the barer of bad news, the final nail in the coffin, or most well known, the Grim Reaper. Well, was the Grim Reaper. Her own personal and worldly sins threw in the spiral of eternal silence also known as Limbo, and for one century she had the time to think of her mistakes.

Mistake number 1: Trusting the lineage of the ruler of the world

Mistake number 2: Letting that same man trick you into a split second of kindheartedness

Mistake number 3: Trusting someone in general

Mistake number 4: Not hiding those murders well enough

Mistake number 5: Agreeing to watch over the complete incompetent jackasses also known as humans

And that's all she thought about for those long hundred years. Never did her sins ever pass through her distorted mind. She never thought twice of the whole reason she was there because she still thought of her murder sprees as helping the Earth. Helping them escape the stupidity of those she killed. Though her work was not completed. She was stopped too soon by the hands… and pacifier… of justice. Ugh, justice. The fairness and validity of mankind. How she hated mankind, and those that inhabited it. She would get her revenge, and all those who'll soon die have little Koenma to thank…

"OGRE!" Koenma yelled. He was pacing around his office fearing every creak and noise he heard. Since the letter did not have a date to it he was afraid of her coming back at anytime or any moment. He continued pacing as ogre ran into the room with his hands cupped with items in them.

"Yes sir!" He said as he skidded to a stop as to not run into Koenma. He looked down at him afraid of what he'd say to him. Koenma had on a mixed face of fear and anger. He looked down at Ogre's hands and saw the angel figures.

"These are swan bone, right?" He asked worriedly. Ogre nodded wildly to tell him that they were.

"Of course sir!" He then dropped the angels into Koenma's hands for him to examine them. Koenma closely looked at them to make sure they were pure. Luckily, they were perfectly carved as they were a hundred years ago when he used them first.

'Good, looks like they'll still work.' I looked deep into the curves of each angel making sure they were perfect. The contours were human made and the finished projects were dipped in holy water. Let's make an example of how holy water affects the Grim Reaper.

Superman is to kryptonite as Grim Reaper is to:

Justice

Holy water

Ruler babies

All of the above

Any answer works, but holy water is the worst. We all remember the melting witch from the Wizard of Oz right? Well, that's nearly the same thing. Everyone has an enemy and a weakness and it's always better if other people don't know those weaknesses. However, since he knew her for so long, Koenma knew all her weak spots just like she knew his. Now, he would have to take advantage of all those as far as he could possibly take them. She would be here soon, and she would be crazed with the lust to kill. He's gonna need help and security as she had suggested.

"Ogre, tell me where are the guys?" Koenma asked the blue skinned monster who then started to answer him.

"Kurama and Hiei will be here shortly, Yusuke and Kuwabara will come later." Ogre said. Koenma looked at him sort of angered. He walked up to the much taller ogre.

"What do you mean later? I need them now!" He yelled and flailed his arms up in the air nearly hitting the ogre. The ogre jumped back fearing that Koenma was trying to do more to him that what was delivered. What could he say? He was used to getting hit for no reason at all. After seeing Koenma had turned around to think, he went back to a more normal position glad that he hadn't gotten slapped across the face for once. He perked up as he saw Koenma was turning back to face him.

"I NEED THEM HERE NOW!" Koenma yelled after his deep thought process. He, once again, raised his arms above his head and whacked ogre over the head making his go starry eyed. Oh well, so much for dreams and hopes. Ogre tried to compose his self and stood back up to talk to Koenma.

"I will get them here as soon as possible sir!" Ogre got ready to run out of the room quickly to find Botan and the rest but was stopped by Koenma's all familiar voice.

"What do you think you're doing! You can't leave me here alone! She might come today and I can't be here without security!"

"But sir, what could I do? I'm not brave enough stand up against her!"

"You won't need to stand. You can just sit on her or something, she's not that big remember? Plus, I can use you as a shield." Koenma said bluntly, that made Ogre take a big gulp before whimpering from fear. He too had known this woman and knew she was rude, dangerous, deadly… okay mostly deadly, that scared him the most.

"Ok sir, I'll stay." Ogre whispered out of fear. Suddenly, there was a burst in the door, and out of the blue came five new presences in the room. First came Botan, then Kurama, Hiei, Kuwabara and last Yusuke. They all had somewhat 'cheery' faces, so Koenma assumed Botan had not told them why they were here. Or maybe she did and they didn't know the capacity of danger the next couple of days would be.

"Hey toddler, I hear you're scared of some girl who used to be death." Yusuke said as if it didn't matter at all. Koenma scuffed at Yusuke's remark and ignored him. Botan intruded for a second.

"Yusuke, this woman is really not someone to take lightly. She was the original grim reaper you know."

"Yeah, well you're the grim reaper now and you couldn't scare bunny rabbits." Yusuke said to her. This time, Koenma intruded.

"You know the common myth of the grim reaper? Black robed, skeletal body and the power to kill you with a simple touch of the hand?" Koenma said to Yusuke who nodded.

"Well imagine that, but a thousand years younger and a woman." Koenma said and turned back around to get the angel figures. He grabbed them up off his desk and turned back to the rest.

"You all have a string of lace correct?" He asked as he handed one angel to each boy and Botan. They all nodded and showed him that they had them.

"Good, string these angels onto them and be prepared." Without question, they did as told. They didn't know a lot about this shunned reaper but Hiei and Kurama had heard rumors. One rumor was that she really was crazy and killed humans for fun. Another was she lived off of blood like a vampire and took the reaper job for easy access to the blood. But of course, these were just rumors.

"So, tell me Koenma, how exactly has this girl been able to have gotten out of Limbo?" Kurama asked as he was stringing his angel on then putting the black lace around his neck.

"God forbid I know, I just got a letter from her and she says she's coming back." He answered.

"And you're taking her word for it? You of all people should know the horrors of Limbo and you actually think someone is getting out with unreasonable ease? She's probably just playing with your mind." Hiei put in, not believing anyone could spontaneously just leave Limbo at will.

"You don't know her like I do. She has her ways of doing things. I myself never figured out how she is able to do these kinds of things that just defy so many rules and get away with them but she does." He said, feeling safer with the others around for the first time in the past few hours. However, that new found safety would quickly disappear.

Abruptly, out of no where, the lights quickly went out, making Botan (and Ogre) scream, the others went on immediate alert. Suddenly the temperature of the room went way up, as what seemed to be a new presence entered the room slowly, slow enough to feel each and every power molecule enter silkily. Then, a quiet laugh slowly reverberated throughout the room as if it came from every angle. You could not depict where exactly in the room she was located because her power as well as her cackle was seemingly everywhere. No one knew what to do since they couldn't see two inches in front of them, but Koenma had nearly frozen in his spot. He knew this odd presence and had feared it most of his life. He hadn't been subject to it's feeling in a hundred years and now it felt worse than ever. Its aura was thicker, and deeper than before. More scars had scrapened her core causing it to thicken with muscle and strength. She was better prepared for her plans now, she was a century stronger and a century wiser, so she was all the more lethal to him and the world. Koenma was more worried about him than the worlds since he could feel her cold, oddly cold, breathe down his neck. One thing that he didn't know was that every other person was feeling the same thing, a chill running down the spine of their back through the bodies and souls that they inhabited as she said. No one was a true living thing, just a soul that was seen through a physical body that could be easily wasted. She enjoyed scaring people, and that was her intention right now, to scare these people so they wouldn't get in her way. She sat in the deep shadows enjoying the scene in front of her. Several people, one being the boy she grew up with, cowering in fear of her and being too scared to move as all the could do was watch the cold breath that past their faces in the overly warm room. Yes, she quite missed this.
