~Still Kyoko's POV~

 

“This is the portal.” I said. We were in the middle of the park that people only entered if they had a death wish. It didn't take much to convince Shuichi and his friends to let me come.

 

“I told you, it's too risky!” said the girl with blue hair. “Oh, hello Hiei.”

 

“I don't want to be responsible if something happens to you.” Shuichi said crossing his arms. “And I don't think that Anya will appreciate me putting her friend in danger.”

 

“Shuichi, I can take care of myself.” I said. “I'm gonna need just a bit of help with my newfound youki though.”

 

Shuichi looked at me. “You have youki?”

 

“Yeah,” I sighed. “Apparently my dad was a youkai. That would make me, what did she call it, hanyou right?” I looked to Hiei, he nodded. “Right.”

“She's got different energy surrounding her than she did yesterday.” Said the boy with slicked back hair.

 

“Her mother has managed to suppress her youki since she was born” Hiei said. “She even had me fooled. I thought she was just a normal ningen onna.”

 

“Well, I'm not, so don't call me that. The only reason I didn't knock you upside your head before was because I promised Anya.”

“Speaking of which, we'd better get going if we want to find her.” Shuichi said. Then he added. “You're coming Kyoko.”

“Well then, now we've got to find a portal to some strange forest that leads to a cave.” I said.

 

“So, we go through this portal and it leads to the forest that I saw?” I asked looking at the portal that appeared.

 

“It leads to a forest, but it may not be the same one you saw.” Hiei said.

 

“Are you sure that she's in the Makai?” Shuichi asked.

 

“Yes I'm sure! I've never been wrong when finding someone before! I'm positive that she's through there, and if you don't want to believe me, then I'm going alone!” I jumped into the portal.

 

I instantly regretted jumping headfirst because I came face to face with a tree. I felt dizzy, but still ok. I sat up and rubbed my nose. “That's the reason you step into a portal.” I heard Hiei say behind me. I tilted my head back and he was standing right behind me. “You may be a hanyou now, but you're still a baka onna.”

 

“I'm not a baka onna. My name is Kyoko and I'm nearly as smart as Shuichi!” I snapped.

 

“Do I have to separate you two?” Shuichi teased upon exiting the portal.

 

“Hn.” Hiei said.

 

“What he said.” I said turning away and looking around. “This is the same forest that I saw, the cave is that way.” I pointed ahead of me. I started walking, when I noticed only Hiei and Botan when I turned around. Where Shuichi once stood, there was now a really tall guy with silver hair golden eyes, and silver fox ears and tail, and where Yusuke once stood, his hair was way longer and he had tattoos that I didn't notice before. “Uh…” was all I managed to say.

 

Hiei smirked at my surprised look. “Yoko Kurama, and Yusuke's demon form.”

 

I whipped my face to him. “Then where'd Shuichi go?”

 

Yoko Kurama stepped up to me and bent down to my level. “I am Shuichi, but you can just call me either Yoko or Kurama, close your mouth.”

 

I closed my mouth and glared at Kurama. “Whatever, let's just go then.”

 

I led the way through the forest and into the same cave that I had seen. Deeper into the cave, I easily found my way past the many splits and made it safely to a small cavern without any attack. Unfortunately, waiting for us in the cavern was the chick that we ran into yesterday.

 

“Tran, what have you done with Anya?” Kurama asked angrily.

“I've done nothing with her, in fact, you can have her back, here.” Tran snapped her fingers.

 

A hole appeared in front of us. From the hole came Anya. She looked completely KO'd. Kurama rushed over to her and knelt down to her. He picked up Anya's shoulders and rested her head on his chest. Her eyes were black and completely empty when they were normally one green one red.

 

“Anya, please say something.” I said feeling tears come to my eyes. “You're not dead, your ki is still flowing everywhere through you.” I grabbed her shoulders from Kurama and started to shake her. “Anya, this isn't funny!”

 

Hiei grabbed my arms to stop me.” She cant' talk, she has no soul.” He said.

 

Kurama transferred Anya's weight to me and stood up with his eyes shadowed. “Tran.” He growled. “I will make you pay.”

“Why me? Tran said innocently. “I didn't extract her soul, Shen did. I merely delivered her.”

 

“Satrane, just as you were described.” Yusuke said.

 

“It's just Tran, not Satrane, don't stick me with the foul name that my parents gave me.”

 

I turned from Anya to see Yusuke standing behind me with his fists in the air. “Yusuke, remain calm, Tran is capable of things you won't be able to beat.” Kurama said.

 

“What's your point?” Yusuke growled. “I've faced the impossible before and I'm still alive.”

 

Hiei snorted. “Uh, Yusuke.” I said. “This guy's vibes aren't stronger than yours, but here's a small wind of hidden beneath his outer exterior, be very cautious.”

“Huh?” Yusuke said looking confused.

 

“That's a look that could rival the baka.” Hiei said. “She means: he may be weaker than you, but if you're not careful, he could kill you.”

“Then why the hell didn't you just say that!?”

 

“Cuz I like to confuse you.” I snapped. I looked down at Anya. There were red streaks down her cheeks starting from her eyes. Curious, I touched one and felt something strange. It was like her youki surging into me.

 

Hiei placed a hand on my shoulder as Kurama pulled a rose from his hair. “Onna, use what you just took against Tran.” Hiei whispered.
