As the anesthetic wore off, her mismatched eyes fluttered open and stayed pinned on the white ceiling above her. Everything seemed to be slightly dulled, the sounds were muffled and even the white washed ceiling of the recovery room – where she thought she was – seemed to be blurred. In the back of her mind she noted that there was an odd taste in her mouth and it was dry, like she'd been sucking on cotton while asleep. Muffled voices were drawing closer to her, and a few seconds later, though it seemed an eternity to her, a blurred head popped into her vision, but her eyes stayed looking straight ahead as she couldn't manage to get them to move. Suddenly the light became brighter and almost immediately one of her arms, which had been healed, threw itself over her eyes to block out the blinding light. "Water, now, before I cut your throat out." she barely could register her own voice speaking, though she did note that it got something of a chuckle out of whoever she was talking to. That was the last that she remembered, though she knew that she stayed away after that.
"Chiya...Chiya...come on I know that you're awake!" Botan's bubbly voice was practically screaming in her ear as she finally regained her senses. "Miss. Botan, the anesthetic might have wore off slightly, but she could still be out of it. Let her rest a little longer." another female voice pierced through the air, polite but commanding, a voice that was easily placed with a nurse or doctor. A low growl ripped from her throat despite how much she tried to hold it back, making both Botan and the other female in the room look over at her. "Your voice makes my ears bleed," she didn't bother to remove her arm from her eyes, as the darkness felt good to her mind and she was reluctant to let it go quite yet.
A squeal of delight came in reply to her words though, not something that happened very often to say the least. "Oh, Chiya-chan; I'm so glad that you're awake! Koenma and I were so worried that you weren't going to make it and that you were actually in shock, despite what the nurse here said. I'm so glad that you're okay though, it would have been a real bummer to have to guide your soul only a few short steps to be judged. You must be hungry, let me get you something to eat!" Botan rambled happily, clapping her hands once to show her sincerity. Before she could turn to go get Chiya food, though, she found herself pressed up against the wall with a scalpel to her neck and a two glaring mismatched eyes sending waves of anger towards her. "You dare call me that one more time, and I will have your head before you could blink." Chiya growled dangerously, making Botan whimper slightly and press more into the wall in hopes of getting away from the sharp scalpel that was pressed up against her throat.
Sneering, Chiya backed off and walked over to the window, secretly glad that she had refused to give up her clothes for the hospital gown that the doctors and nurses wanted her to wear as in her own clothes she didn't have even a chance of flashing anyone and could move freely without care. Taking a seat at the window she stare out of it calmly for a few seconds before the nurse had regained her wits and walked over to her. "Miss, I'm going to have to ask you to lay back down. We need to check and make sure that the incision made for the implant has healed up properly and isn't in danger of infection. After that you will need to follow Miss. Botan to get a covering for your Eye." the nurse's voice cut through her thoughts easily, making her growl slightly. "I will check it myself," she growled before pushing herself out of the chair and going towards the open door that she could easily tell lead to the bathroom.
Once in the bathroom she hoped onto the counter and pulled her long hair back into a ponytail so she could see her forehead clearly without it getting in her way. Leaning towards the large mirror she could faintly see a thin line, the incision where the Jagan was implanted, she figured. Tracing it lightly with her finger, she felt for any clots and tenderness. When she found none she closed her eyes and felt around her mind for the Jagan, like Koenma had told her to do before the operation. Once found she willed it to open and then opened her eyes once more and turned her gaze up at it, finding that it was a dark red color and, now open, filled the entire slit that was made on her forehead. Grunting slightly in satisfaction with what she closed the eye again and jumped off the counter, gracefully landing on the cold tiled floor of the bathroom, then made her way back into the recovery room where she gave a quick, sharp nod to the nurse while tugging her boots and pulling the ponytail out, letting her long white hair spill down her back.
"Let us get this over with before I decide that it is not worth my time." Her voice was as cold as ever as she turned her gaze back onto Botan, who had regained her bubbly mood. "Okay! Lets go get you one of the best ones that we have, you'll love them!" Botan was practically overflowing with eagerness, to her this was almost as good as shopping, though she had forgotten just who she was dealing with when she made the comparison.
When they got to the room that held, basically, clothes and cloth – though it's curious as to why Koenma would have something like that – Botan bounced over to some rather bright headbands and began to shift though them. "I'll find you the best one yet!" she giggled, shifting her gaze momentarily towards Chiya, only to find that the girl was already in front of the mirror and, after pulling her long hair into a half ponytail, was tying a black band around her forehead over the Jagan. Once the band was secured she pulled the half ponytail out, effectively concealing the sides and back of the band from view with a curtain of thick white hair. "Why black? You wear so much of it already!" Botan was practically pouting as she watched the girl pick up three other bands just like the black one she already had on. Chiya didn't answer though, instead she opted to step out of the room before she strangled the blue haired fairy girl with one of the headbands that she'd picked up.
Still pouting, Botan followed her lead then took her to Koenma, who'd asked to see her once she had covered the Jagan, mainly because the Eye scared him slightly. Chiya leaned up against the same wall in which she'd sat against when she first arrived in the Reikai, this time keeping her gaze steadily on Koenma. "Good, good, it seems that you've made it through the procedure, I was beginning to fear that I'd have to do paperwork on your death and have to find someone else to try the procedure on." the toddler sighed in relief, getting a small growl in reply, which made him jump as normally humans don't growl, it seemed to be a side effect of the demonic energy the Jagan possessed. Chuckling weakly he glanced over at Botan, who silently urged him on with the reason that she had brought Chiya to see him. "Right! You'll be needing to train. The operation actually takes some of your energy so your spirit energy will be weaker, but one you've trained with the Jagan for a while you'll gain the energy back and a little more – if I'm not mistaken – that the Jagan gives. You'll be spending today just getting use to the Jagan eye, work on being able to sense the Jagan and making it part of you. Tomorrow you'll start your training under one of our physics and a martial arts master." he ordered, getting a glare in return. "I will be training under no lackey of yours, I will teach myself." With her rather cold voice hanging in her air she stood and walked off, leaving a gaping Koenma staring at her back and a frowning Botan to try and console him as he started to go on about no one respecting him like they should.
(fast forward)
Beads of sweat made their way down her brow as she dodged in an out of the trees, racing after the demon that she'd been going after for at least two hours. It had managed to get away from the group that she'd been fighting, and her personal philosophy was not to leave anything that could give away her fighting style alive. Even though she'd been running for a while her breathing hadn't started to speed up, mainly because of the vigorous training she put herself through to boost her endurance. It didn't help, though, that she was chasing after a demon while she, herself, was a human and so didn't know the Makai as well.
After a while the demon she was chasing began to tire and stopped to rest, obviously thinking that it had lost her. This made a rather sadistic smirk spread across her face as she came closer to the place where he was resting, making sure that the cloak on her energy was still firmly in place. She stopped running when she was over half way there, instead jumping into the trees and going from branch to branch towards her prey instead, that way when she stopped she was right above him.
"Pity, your last moments are in stupidity." she hissed out, startling the demon so it jumped up and started to look wildly around for her, not being able to pin point her voice as she had cast it about so it sounded like she was coming from all around the clearing that he'd settled in. Before he even really had a chance to get on the defensive, she jumped out of the tree, her sword flashing through the air, and easily decapitated the demon with own fowl swipe of the glimmering blade. Not even looking at the corpse as it fell to the ground, she flicked the blood off her sword and sheathed it in one smooth motion before calmly walking back towards the portal that would take her to Spirit World.
Landing easily in her room, Chiya grabbed a spare change of clothes then jumped out of the window, landing easily on the grounds, and raced towards a private waterfall that she found only months before. When she got there jerked her clothes off and jumped into the cool water, swimming towards the fall to wash the sweat and grime off her body that had collected over the course of her training
(With Koenma)
"Okay, binkey breath, why did you call us all here? Kieko is going to kill me for sure this time for missing school!" Yusuke yelled as he stumbled ungracefully out of the portal, followed by Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei who all didn't say a word as the black haired teen ranted and raved for a few minutes. Koenma got fed up with it quickly, though, and silenced Yusuke with a a loud "shut up!" that made the boy back up a few steps as he had never seen the toddler so annoyed before. "You're here because of a new mission, you'll all be staying in the Reikai palace until said mission is completed. There will be one more member on your team, though, depending on how well she works with you will decide if she stays on your team after this mission is over. For now, though, we need what she can offer us, and I don't want any of you to say otherwise." the toddler took a deep breath to calm himself before he spoke, but when he did his voice was still laced with irritation. Ever since the girl had gotten there she'd been getting on his last nerves with her attitude, much like he was sure Hiei would should the fire demon stay within the castle for as long as she was.
Kurama took a step forward, his long red hair swaying slightly behind him at the movement, and bowed in greeting before pinning the toddler prince with a curious look. "Might I inquire as to what this mission pertains to?" the kitsune kept his standard calm, polite voice, which managed to calm Koenma considerably. "There is yet another demon who is trying to open a portal from the Makai to the Ningenkai, only this time he has help because he stole two of our artifacts that may just secure his success if we don't get them back. You're job is to get in there, get the artifacts back without him knowing that you have them, and getting back here with them. Once we have the artifacts back safely the five of you have to bring the demon down, the Reikai can't afford to let him stay loose." Kurama hummed slightly once Koenma said this, a thoughtful look crossing his face before he turned back to the toddler prince with one question that was on everyone's mind – well except for Kuwabara who was more focused on the fact that a girl would be fighting with them. "Why do we need her Jagan eye when we have Hiei's? What would be the difference in the two of them?" Yusuke nodded slightly while Hiei just turned his eyes to land on Koenma, waiting for an answer to the question that was on all three of their minds (remember that Kurama asked the question). After a second of struggling to find how to word what he wanted to say, Koenma sighed and slouched back in his chair. "I don't know why, exactly, but out resources tell us that only a human with the Jagan can pin point the location of the castle you're going to have to storm, and the demon that you're after – once you retrieve the artifacts – seems to like to play disappearing games and I would be more comfortable with two who have the Jagan then just one, not that I doubt you Hiei." Koenma added hastily after the fire demon sent him a death filled glare.
For a while no one said anything, then Yusuke pushed himself from his sitting position and popped his back with a small yawn. "Well, lets go meet this chick then Koenma gets to deal with Kieko so I don't get my ass handed to me for not meeting up with her today." he shoved his hands into his pockets – as was his norm – and headed out the door, Kuwabara following him laughing that he was whipped, which got him punched in the head and knocked out by a bored Yusuke. Koenma sighed slightly and jumped from his seat so he could take the boys to the medical wing, where the girl was suppose to be.
When they arrived, though, the nurses were going frantic and a calm looking figure was laying on the observation table, one knee drawn up and an arm thrown over their eyes. "Is something wrong?" Koenma instantly began to worry, thinking that something had gone wrong with the Jagan and it started to reject her. "Miss. Chiya is gone! I went in to check her vitals, and all when I went to lay a hand on her shoulder, so she knew that I was there – I always do it with my patients who have their eyes closed – my hand went right through her!" the nurse was practically wailing in her distress as she stopped in front of Koenma, still panicking. The toddler prince quickly pressed the intercom on the wall, eyes wide and startled. "Ogre, have the whole Makai checked for Chiya, and have Botan gather up some of the other fairy girls and search the castle! When you find her bring her directly to my office, in chains if you have to, but I want her in my office!" he somehow managed to keep the pacifier in his mouth, even though he was yelling like no tomorrow and was frantically waving his arms in his distress. Once the ogre stammered out a quick "yes sir" he lifted a hand to his temple and turned back to the boys. "We'll go waiting in my office, let us hope that she doesn't send us searching for her for too long." he muttered before going back to his plush chair and the comforts that his office had.
(with Chiya)
"Ogre, having the whole Makai checked for Chiya, and have Botan gather up some fairly girls and search the castle! When you find her bring her directly to my office, in chains if you have to, but I want her in my office!" the voice of the toddler prince that she'd agreed to work for reached her ears as she stepped back into her room, katana gripped loosely in her hands while her belts were slung over her shoulder. Figuring that there wasn't a reason to bother checking in, as Koenma had the entire castle practically searching for her anyway, she let her things fall to her bed and went to find a clean change of clothes.
By the time that she had changed into her standard pair of black training clothes, and was fixing her band back around her forehead, she could hear one of the fairy girls slowly making their way towards her. Grunting slightly she quickly walked over to her red belts and secured them on her waist, completing her normal look, not including katanas at her waist, though. Right as she fitted one of her katanas onto her waist, the door of her bedroom was flung open and a black haired girl stuck her head in and peered around until her slightly pink eyes landed on Chiya. "Oh, there you are! Do you know what kind of a fuss you've got this castle in? Honestly, why can't you just be reasonable for once and do what you're told? Oh, well, no use talking about that with you, it's not like you'll listen to me anyway; I'm just here to make sure that you go to Koenma's office. You've really got him worked up, you know, you should be ashamed of yourself. He really does care for you, despite what you think, he thinks highly of you, some of us even think that he may be thinking about taking you as his mate! Wouldn't that be grand, being the mate of a demi-god?" the fairy girl babbled, now having opened the door fully and leaning on the frame while Chiya picked up her other katana and fitted it under the first one that was already around her waist. "Be quiet before I force you to close that mouth of yours, and in that case you wont be breathing." her cold voice cut the chattering fairy girl off quickly and got her a startled look in reply.
