(*this meeting took place during the time of the last chapter.*)

 

“Tran, you said you know this girl, am I correct?” asked the Forest Lord.

 

“Yes master, I've known her since she was pulled from the flower patch.” Said Tran. “I know her strengths and weaknesses, I am the best for the job.” She paused for a moment. “What exactly is the job?”

 

Sanji laughed. He was a short ice youki with dark blue hair and light blue eyes. “You should know to never accept a mission if you don't know what it is. I made that mistake once. Yup. Ended up with a thorn in my side, literally. Wasn't much fun, that it wasn't.”

 

“Yes, well, you were young, stupid, and too annoying for your own good. It was a lesson not to be so cocky.” Rumi said. Rumi had black hair to his shoulders and red eyes. He was a shadow demon.

 

“Back to the point.” The Forest Lord growled. “Tran, in order for our mission to be a success, you will have to strip her of her soul and bring it to me in this container.” He held out a thornless rose.

 

“Not to be rude master, but that's just a rose.” Sanji said.

 

“Sanji, look closer at the rose.” Rumi said.

 

Sanji squinted at the rose. “Still don't see anything special `bout it. Nope, not at all.”

 

“It has no thorns, Anya was born from a larger breed of those.” Tran said.

 

“Oh, still don't understand, nope.”

 

“Er, I don't quite understand how the flower rose helps either.”

 

“Simple.” Forest Lord said. “This is a rose from the bush she was born from. It can give her life, and it can take her soul back. You'll also need this.” Forest Lord tossed Tran the rose and an ivy vine.

 

“An ivy vine?” Tran said looking at the ivy.

 

“A vine from a rare plant, it can restrict any plant type youkai. It can also squeeze their life away, so use it to take her soul, and pull it into the rose.”

 

“Um, maybe I should point out that I haven't' seen her since her `beloved Yoko' was killed. That was about 18 years ago.”

 

“Well then, you'll have to find her now won't you?”

 

“Yes master.”

 

“You should be able to find her fairly easily as her shield is weakening. Soon she will use a bit of that youki of hers and we will know exactly where to find her.”

 

“At last my angel, we will meet once more.”

 

“Um, Tran, I thought you were a girl.” Sanji said confused.

 

“Oh I am, but she doesn't. My poor angel, she's so naïve, that she can't figure out that I'm a female. It's just so fun to tease her about it. I hope she's up for some fun, cuz she's gonna get a load of it.”

 

“Don't be too hard on the poor defenseless onna.” Said Shen. He had just entered. He had long orange hair pulled into a low ponytail, and entrancing black eyes. “We need her soul pure, not battered and bruised. It's worthless to us if it's ruined.”

 

“What d'you know, Shen decided to show up for once. What brought our orange haired little buddy to us today?”

 

Shen walked over to Tran and placed hiss arms around her shoulders. “Why you of course, my dear Tran.”

 

“You could care less for me Shen. Why are you really here?”

”I just felt that I should come. What does it concern you anyways whether I show up to a meeting or not? Aren't I a member of this team as well?”

 

Tran pulled out of Shen's hold. “Sure you're a member of the team, it's just that you hardly show up. So, why show up now when I get an important mission that's vital to our success?”

 

“I guess I wanted to see our progress with it.”

 

“Sure, you're just jealous that I've got such an important part in the mission. Just because I'm the only girl up here, doesn't mean that I'm not just as powerful as any of you. My opinion is just as strong as yours, I suggest you listen to me more.”

 

“Tch, I'm not going to listen to this, I'm outta here.” Shen fuming and knocked down the wall as he left.

 

“Why is it that I have to fix my wall every time Shen shows up for our meetings?” Forest Lord said.

 

“Not sure.” Tran said. “That Shen sure has a bad attitude problem. I think I'd better go check our files on Anya's most recent use of her youki. Be back in a jiff.”

 

Tran left and was back in five minutes with a short sheet of paper. “It seems that just two days ago she was crying, and just this morning she silenced and calmed someone.” Tran said. “I didn't think it'd be that easy. Whelps, I'm off to get our good pure soul.” She smiled and left.

 

“You sure sending Tran to do this was a good idea?” Sanji asked.

 

“Well, sure it is, she'll be fine.” Forest Lord said. “Oh, I just remembered something. Tran, get back here!”

 

Tran popped her head back in the room. “Something wrong master?” she asked.

 

“Watch for the spirit detective, he'll cause a bit of trouble for you that you won't want to deal with.”

 

“Watch out for spirit detective, check.” Tran saluted and left.
