[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Akira, Witch of Death
I don't own Yu Yu Hakausho, but I do own my O/C's.

"Hiei!" I awoke with a start to the annoying voice. I had fallen asleep in my fathers lap last night. He also jumped, causing me to fall out of the tree.
"Ah! It's the cat!" Kuwabara yelled and hid behind Yusuke. "Make it stay away!" I sat down and cocked my head to the side in a cute way.
"I don't think it wants to eat you, Kuwabara."
**That's right, I don't want to eat you.....I just want to kill you!** I sent him the message.
"NO! MAKE IT STOP!" Kuwabara ducked and covered his head with his hands. "It's just a cat.....THAT WANTS TO KILL ME!" I let out another cute "Meow! Meow!" that even made Yusuke smile. I saw the two girls behind him. The blue-haired one ran up and pulled me into her arms. You know what they say about getting scratched behind the ears? It does feel good! I yawned cat style and settled down. I was never a morning person.
"She's just so cute!"
"Yeah. Maybe you should try to be more like the cat, Yusuke." the brown-haired girl said, scratching my forehead. I jumped to the ground and pranced over to Kuwabara looking impossibly innocent. He stayed behind Yusuke until I came closer. I was purring as loud as I could while rubbing up against Yusuke's legs. Damn, I didn't know Kuwabara could scream that loud. He jumped back with his arms flailing around. I saw a loose thread hanging from his pants. What could be a better excuse to pounce? I jumped after him, aiming for the string. When he ran, I ran after him. Everyone burst into laughter.
"Kuwabara, I think it's the string." Kuwabara stopped screaming for a few moments to see why I was chasing him. The redheaded boy was decently smart. Seeing my father, I pranced back to him. Even he was smirking at the fool's antics. I made a clean jump to his shoulder and settled down there.
"What am I supposed to do with it?" he asked.
"It seems to like you, Hiei."
"Kurama, I don't want a cat or any animal for that matter."
"It's not hurting anything."
"Except maybe Kuwabara." Yusuke added.
**Gonna kill ya!** Kuwabara screamed like a little girl at my telepathic comment.
"It's gonna get me! Save me, Urameshi!"
**Who? Me?**
"Yes! You! You're gonna kill me!"
**Really now?**
"NO! GO AWAY!"
"Kuwabara! Will you shut up!" Yusuke hit that fool right over the head.
"Maybe you can stick around. It'll get the Fool to stay away." my father suggested.
**Yeah! That's right! I'm the homocidal cat!**
"NO! AHHHH!!!" And he took off running down the street with that.
"I think we should get going. People are staring." Kurama offered.
"I agree." Yusuke said.

~~~~~~~~

I picked my father's shoulder over walking beside him and possibly getting stepped on, hit by a car, or mauled by a dog. Yusuke stopped, something ringing in his pocket.
"Yusuke! I'm amazed you kept it!" the stupid fairy onna yelled.
"Yes, I did." Yusuke replied, annoyed. "What do you want?" He sighed.
"We've managed to locate the three treasures, but they're no longer with the three girls. They're with a woman named Akira." That name caught my attention. I jumped in front of Yusuke and meowed.
"Quiet. Baka neko.(Stupid cat)"
I meowed again.
"Alright, I take it you want something?"
I nodded my head. Yusuke seemed a bit shocked. I turned and began to walk, following the woman's smell. I could sense her from here. Everyone was following me. Good. Let's see....a right here....left, left....right....straight and we reached the woods. Now, there's a portal to the Makai somewhere around here..... There! I jumped into a hole in the ground with everyone still following. We even managed to pick up the baka along the way. I lead them through the forest that surrounded the area. We finally reached her oversized castle.
"Every bad guy just has to make a statement with these big castles." Yusuke then pointed to me. "Now stay out here and out of the way. We don't need a cat with us." I didn't try to follow as they entered. My father shot me one last glance before disappearing into the darkness.

~~~~~~~~

"Welcome to my castle." Akira's voice rang out through the stone corridors. The four entered a large circular room that instantly lit up. "What would you like written on your gravestones? And Hiei, Jaganshi Hiei, you will be burried right next to the rest of your family!" Hiei gritted his teeth and squinted his eyes shut.
"Hiei? Hiei? Answer me dammit!" Yusuke yelled at his friend.
"Everyone before me were my little minions. Now, you will face me. I am Akira, Witch of Death!" (A/N: *Cringes* Way too cheesy line!)

~~~~~~~~

I sat, debating on whether to stay out here or go inside. My mind was quickly made up.
"Jaoh Ensatsu Koku Ryu Ha!" Yeah, if that wasn't a good reason to try and help I don't know what was.

~~~~~~~~

The other three backed off as the dragon destroyed the castle walls around them.
"Serious, serious. Let's see your dragon try and destroy me." Akira mocked. The dragon engulfed her in black flames. Hiei called it back, breathing heavily and waited, looking for a pile of ashes. "I'm still here. I don't think you understand my power." She stood in a window with her arms crossed. She was in a younger form with bright blue hair and white highlights. Her eyes were an eerie shade of yellow. "Let's see you escape!" Her power spead into a shield that threw Kurama, Yusuke, and Kuwabara to the wall and held them there. "One by one. All my little minions were simple. Expirience true power, Jaganshi!"

~~~~~~~~

I bound through the corridors, heading for that maniac laugh and increasing energy. If I knew that witch well-and I did-that was the same attack that.....No! Best not to think that way. I finally reached the room. It was glowing a deep blue from the window frames to the light pouring onto the floor. No way in hell was she going to get away with this! He won't go through what I did!

~~~~~~~~

The light only intensified, the power growing by the second. Hiei was barely standing. His bet was on his single most powerful attack. She had even survived that. And the stupid bitch wouldn't stop laughing! All of the color flew into her hand in a single blast. Hiei convinced himself he wouldn't die like this.
"Scared? Worried? Questioning yourself? Will I die like this?" Akira slowed her laughing to an evil smirk. "Only one answer....yes." Hiei braced himself as she prepared the final steps. But something cut her short....

~~~~~~~~

She let out a bloody scream that rang throughout the room, echoing off the walls to make it louder. She grabbed her elbow at the joint-right above where I had cut her arm off. It was a long shot from the entrance of the room, but I stopped the attack. My katana imbedded itself into the wall with a 'Clink'. All eyes turned to me.
"How the hell did you get here?! You're still supposed to be a damned neko! If not that, you should still be dead!" Akira yelled through the pain.
"Yes, I'm just so full of surprises, ne?" I answered, my blank expression never changing.
Her expression went to that of an ammused one. "Little Serenity, the one who won over death. How I've missed you. Come back for a rematch? I'll be glad to suffice."
"Let's see you follow."

~~~~~~~~

Akira couldn't follow and was sent flying into a wall less than a second later. She stood up and smirked.
"You've gotten better." the witch began. "But they don't call me a death witch for nothing. I specialize in kill-quick techniques."
Serenity didn't respond. She'd let the witch talk on a bit more.
"But I won't use those. I'll fight you plain and simple. Because I have these." She held up the two jewels stolen from the Reikai vault. "Maybe I'll try out that flute on you....if you live long enough." She disappeared with superior speed.

~~~~~~~~

Damn! She was fast! I could hardly follow. Best to dodge now and kill her without getting injured.
"Well, Little Jaganshi, can YOU follow?"
I smirked. Yes, I could.
"Such a dilemma, yes it is." Her voice echoed as she moved. "Maybe....no, that wouldn't fit. Ah! I'll try that." She finally stopped running and stood where she had started. "What was you're greatest fear as a child?"
I crossed my arms over my chest. "What 'fear'?"
"Oh, you know. Your little run-in with a demon."
"Which one? Besides, I kill all the demons I run across. Baka onna."
"Watch your tounge! As I was saying, you met a demon. A flare dancer."
I gave her my attention. "What about it? I killed the stupid thing."
"But it almost killed you."
"You know, you're really getting on my nerves with this, bitch. Do you have a point or not?"
"Oh, I have a point alright." She began chanting something. Faster and faster, louder and louder until I couldn't understand a word she was screaming. The room took on a pale red glow. Oh, she would try and kill me with a flare dancer. Then, the figure appeared out of the ground. It was just as I remembered. It simply looked like a scarecrow on fire that constantly spun in circles to the rhythm of its laughing. "Hold on tight, kid! You're in for one hell of a ride!"
