(still Kyoko's POV)
 
“One, it's Kyoko, not onna, and two, what?” I whispered back to Hiei.
 
“You absorbed her youki, use it to your advantage. Attack Tran, do what comes naturally.” He said.
 
“Uh, I can try.” I stood up and felt a slight pull coming from Anya's youki. I stepped towards Tran and stopped next to Kurama. I took the rose from his hand that he had summoned moments before. I held it over my head and pushed Anya's youki into it. It grew in size, then exploded. The many petals that it emitted were directed at Tran, as she was my enemy. They enveloped her.
 
I felt joy for some reason, as her last cries of pain were heard, and it confused me. `That's because of your heritage.' I heard inside of my head. “Huh?” I blurted.
 
Hiei walked up next to me. “Your heritage onna. You're a hanyou, we all have some form of joy from blood and strangled cries of death. Each youkai has a thirst for blood at time. Of course, your father being who he was doesn't help it.”
 
I looked up at Kurama. “Even you Kurama?” I asked. “And Anya?”
 
Kurama nodded. “We both are full blood youkai, our face may not show it, but at heart, we both have a taste for blood. Of course, Anya could just cry to satisfy her cravings.”
 
“What d'you mean?”
 
“She cries blood.”
 
“Oh, well, learn something new every day huh?”
 
“Screw learning, let's just get all this over with. The longer we stand here, the more agitated I get.” Yusuke growled.
 
“I just want to get Anya out of here with every bit of her. Um, here's your rose back Kurama.” I handed him back his rose. His hand tapped ever so slightly on mine, I felt a small surge into me just like when I touched Anya.
 
Kurama pulled his hand away quickly. “Kyoko, exactly what kind of hanyou are you?” he asked. “If I'm not mistaken, you just absorbed some of my youki.”
 
I held my hand to my chest. “Uh, I haven't a clue. This is all still new to me. I think my locating skills improved, but that's because of my family being that of psychics.”
 
“Spader was one of the rare types of chameleon demons. That's probably what you are.” Hiei said. He came up behind me and gave me a gentle shove towards the next tunnel.
 
“I thought that chameleons just changed color, and don't push me Hiei.”
 
The rest of the group started to follow me further on, with Anya on Kurama's back. “That's how most breeds are. Spader's, however, is different. He'd absorb the power thrown at him, then return it with five times the strength. But when taken not as an attack, it was only one fifth the strength.”
 
“So Anya and Kurama have power over roses?” It was hard to believe that something so beautiful could be so deadly.
 
“I'm not exactly sure about Anya, but I can control many different types of plants, not just a rose.”
 
“Oh.” I looked at the ground and kept on walking. “How am I supposed to go on with my normal life I if absorb youki through skin contact?”
 
Kurama chuckled. “You do know that ningens don't have youki, right?”
 
I frowned at him. “I'm not a baka Kurama. I was referring to Hiei. Since now I'm bound to him forever. At one point we will-” I stopped talking, knowing my face was about to turn red.
 
Kurama smiled at me. “I thought you hated the idea of being bound to a demon.”
 
“Well, I can't really go back in time and change that. Besides, I am a demon, or a half one anyways. I can't go on hating myself now can I?”
 
“No, I guess not. But since when do you even think in a hentai way, let alone talk about it.”
 
“Uh…” I felt my ears heating up. “ I guess that these things are just going around in my head, or the rest of my puberty, or it could be my finally receiving my youki, or Hiei could've planted this stuff into my head or-”
 
Before I could continue on with my ranting, Hiei silenced my mouth with his. Strangely, I didn't feel his youki surge into me as it had with Anya and Kurama. He pulled back and said. “You're too noisy onna, and did that answer your question?”
 
“My-name-is-Ky-o-ko-not-onna-.” I growled, surprising not only myself, but also every one around me. I never knew that I could growl before. Then I realized what Hiei had just done. “Oh, I guess that does answer my question. Thank you Hiei.” I leaned over and hugged him around his neck.
 
“Get off on-”
 
I cut him off the same way he had me. I pulled back and smiled at the look on his face. “How's it feel to have the shoe on the other foot?” I asked. Hiei looked down at his feet. “I didn't mean it literally, Hiei. Please stop calling me onna.”
 
“As much as I hate to interrupt this `tender moment'” Yusuke said. We both growled at him. “You might want to shut it, we've got a small problem ahead.”
 
“Mr. Spirit Detective, I am not the problem. That would be you, yup.” A boy bounced in front of us. “The name's Sanji. My purpose is simply to distract you.”
 
I leaned close to Hiei's ear; simply trying to look scared to Sanji. “Hiei, how fast can you get us around him to the core of this place? Leave the others to deal with him.” I whispered.
 
My answer: he wrapped his arm around my waist and I found myself dizzy and in a different place. I wobbled and lost my balance, Hiei caught me.
 
“From what I can tell, this is where they are using her soul. There's wards around it, so I can't be sure.” Hiei said.
 
“Ok.” I stood up and closed my eyes. “I'll find out for sure.” I focused on Anya, her ki was still behind us, but another aspect of her was just before me. “It is beyond those doors.”
 
Hiei pushed open the door and stepped in first. I quickly followed. “Kyo, stay close behind me.” He whispered before unsheathing his katana.
