I walked into the pantry, looking through the assortment of sweets that had been placed inside the small area. Yaman, Yata and I were the type of people that loved sweets, so of course there were plenty of them inside of here. A lot of cakes, Danishes and more exotic pastries, all of them were delicious. Picking up a small pink cupcake, I reached into my pocket and placed a birthday candle in the center and then let out a sigh.
It was finally my eighteenth birthday, and I was celebrating it all on my own. I didn't really have anyone to celebrate it with. Yata was still mourning his brotehr's death, which was understandable. Yaman was becoming impossible to talk to outside of our plans of what we were going to do next. Ki…Well Ki was himself as usual.
Getting up, I quickly grabbed the lighter near the pack of Yata's cigarettes. Sitting down again, I lit the candle of the cupcake and quietly whispered the lyrics to Happy Birthday.
Finishing up the song, I quickly filled my lungs with the cold air, and blew the candles out in front of me. Lifting up the candle quickly once it was out, I placed it down on the plate that I put the cupcake on. I peeled the plastic off and popped some of the frosting covered cupcake into my mouth. The strawberry flavor exploded on my tongue, and I smiled.
The previous night, we had been pulled through a portal by Yaman, who decided that it was a good idea to pull us out at that exact moment. What was needed to be done, had been done perfectly, Kuwabara hadn't left a single scratch on me when we were pulled back. But the fact that I had been attacked by someone that I once was friends with pissed me off. Even if they had no clue that I was the one that they were fighting.
I was suddenly put off my cupcake, standing up and throwing the rest of it away. I couldn't hear anyone else in the rest of the building; Ki was probably in the sound proof gym upstairs. This was mainly set up so no one would have to hear his obnoxious grunting every time he moved a pinkie.
Taking my saucer and tea cup with me, I walked outside and lay down in the hammock, placing my tea beside me. Tonight was phase two of our operation, a bigger town that was located closer to the city.
Pulling my long blonde hair into a loose ponytail, I smiled at myself. Pulling the robes onto myself, I placed the mask on. Ki and Yata were already outside, muttering about how girls take too long to get ready. But we were going to be fine, and perfectly on time.
Yaman smiled as he came up behind me, patting my shoulder. "I hope you understand that replacing Yaddo was no big deal, just like it wouldn't be a big problem for me to replace his brother or Ki." I was surprised to hear this, looking over at the other. "But replacing you would be impossible."
A smile curled on my lips and I pressed a kiss to the older man's cheek even though the mask was on. It didn't seem to disturb him as a blush came onto his cheek. I had a feeling that he was lying to me, but I let it stroke my ego none the less.
Walking outside, I mounted Pestilence and followed Ki as he took off into the woods. We were silent, going over all the possible scenarios that there could be. With the Spirit Detective in the mix, those scenarios seemed more intense and different than our first attack. They were in every possible scenario that we could come up with, they had to be or we would be under prepared.
The city was small, and it wasn't exactly what you would call bustling. At two o'clock in the morning, it wasn't that surprising. I stayed on top of the hill that was above the city, as the other two took off towards the city. Holding my hands out in front of me, I waited.
As the next twenty minutes passed by, a small ball of light began to appear between my palms. As people died, the ball slowly got bigger, holding their life energy. The plan was to destroy the city, so it would look more like a bomb had gone off. This was, without a doubt, going to cause people to freak out.
Without chaos, our work would be as pointless as it gets. When people started to panic about what was going on in their country, they would become weak. This was all that we would need from these people.
The ball was about as big as a basketball when I heard a twig snap behind me. I couldn't take my focus off of the ball, or else I could end up being the one exploded into a million pieces.
"Hey, you, I'm not going to miss you this time!" Kuwabara's voice came from behind me, and I could hear his feet pounding the ground as he got closer. Making sure to locate the boys, I threw the ball into the town.
The second that I did that, I felt the spirit sword slice into my side, and the world became dark around me.
"I can't believe it's her." The hushed voice of Kuwabara came from somewhere in the darkness, he sounded both concerned and disgusted. I didn't blame him.
Turning my head, I opened my eyes slightly and watched as the four people I once highly respected stared at me. Genkai was behind them all, her cold eyes staring at me with distaste. I wanted to blow them all up, just so that they'd stop staring at me.
"She's kinda hot." Kuwabara said after a pause, getting a weird look from everyone, including me. He shrugged a bit as Yusuke rolled his eyes, everyone leaving. At least, everyone left except for Kurama.
"Are you going to explain?" He said, standing up and moving closer to me. Opening my eyes fully, I sat up and noticed that there were quite a few containment spells around where I was laying. My fingers made sure that the necklace was still around y neck, but upon doing that I realized that someone had put me back together again.
"Did you do this?" I asked, looking down at the tight bandaging that hadn't been quite so successful at bunching down my bust.
"Yes."
"Did you like it?" I asked, turning my head and smiling at him. He didn't seem very amused by what I had said, and he ignored it.
"You avoided my question." He commented, leaning forwards but not enough to be touching where the containment spells started.
"Because it's fun." I said, shrugging my small shoulders as I leaned forward. "Come on, we both know that you aren't exactly the role model for doing things because it's moral, thief boy."
He tensed up when I said that, his green eyes narrowing as he looked at him.
I smirked, wrapping my arms around my knees as they were close to my chest. "I have a purpose in life that doesn't revolve around you." I whispered, a bit of spite getting in my voice.
"That's not an excuse for killing people." He murmured, I realized that he was closer to me. Maybe being face to face with a murderer turned him on.
"But it's fun." I said which seemed like a very good excuse for doing this. It's fun and it's a good purpose in my life.
"You've changed." He said, I could feel his breath on my lower lip. Tilting my head to the side, I let out a laugh.
"Oh really?"
We were so close, if we wanted to, it would've been a kiss between enemies.
But that was when Ki decided to break up this party, right behind me. He punched his arm through the wall, pulling the wood with him as he brought his arm back out. Smiling, I got up and waved at Kurama, getting up and sliding out the back of the small cabin on the top of a mountain.
"Let's get the fuck out of here." I said, as Yusuke barged into the room that I had been in. Getting on the back of Ki's bike, I flipped them off as we went left.
