Disclaimer: I own only Mayuri and Kiriana
`I can't believe they actually thought I was going to hurt that damned Grim Reaper.' Mayuri thought as she paced in Hiei's room where she had been locked in. `I don't want to be here right now.' She said to herself again for the thirtieth time in five minutes. She froze when she heard hurried footsteps coming in her direction and a key entering a lock. The door was thrown open and Yusuke shouted, “Mayuri! Koenma has a mission for us!” Mayuri just smirked at him.
“So?”
“He needs us!” Yusuke shouted as he reached for Mayuri's arm but his hand was slapped away.
“I don't work with people that lock me up.” Mayuri said coldly.
“Okay, we're sorry and will never lock you up again if you come help us.” Yusuke said quickly and grabbing her hand before she could answer. They ran through the halls and finally after five minutes of weaving through halls and many ogres they made it into Koenma's office.
“So nice of you to join us.” Koenma said sarcastically while Yusuke caught his breath.
“Shut up, you stupid toddler.” Yusuke said as he plopped onto the couch next to Kuwabara.
“Well, anyways. I have received this tape and the only thing on it was someone's name.” Everyone looked at Koenma with curiosity. “The name is… Kitty.” Koenma was given many looks of confusion and he sighed. “You're not the only one confused. I know no one by that name.” Koenma was startled when Mayuri ran forward and pulled the tape from his grasp. She turned it to look at the writing on the label and when she saw it, she shuddered.
“Do you know who Kitty is, Maya?” Kurama asked but Mayuri did not answer.
Instead she turned to Koenma and returned the tape to him, “Play it.” She said in a voice that didn't let him hesitate as he did as she commanded. The monitor was blue for a second before a shadowed figure appeared on the screen.
A voice that only haunted Mayuri's dreams spoke, “Hello Kitty. If you are watching this video then you must have been having contact with Koenma and his lackeys. I have made this to warn you. I have told you once what I want and I will do it again. I want The Frozen Teardrop. A life is on the line, and this time, it isn't yours.” The figure pulled a person into view by the throat. Her hair was long and a faded pink full of dirt and her eyes were closed. A loud growl erupted from Mayuri and her eyes narrowed. “See you soon Kitten.” The monitor once again went blue.
“Who is Kitty and what the hell is the Frozen Teardrop?” Yusuke asked as he turned to Koenma.
“The Frozen Teardrop is a powerful stone that has enough power to cause another ice age, not only in Ningenkai but in Reikai and Makai as well.” Koenma replied
“But who is Kitty?” Yusuke asked but stopped when cool steel was placed against his neck. To his surprise, the blade did not belong to Hiei.
“Say that name one more time, I swear I will decapitate you right where you stand.” Mayuri said in a dark voice. When she received a nod as her reply, she resheathed the blade and walked to the door where she was blocked by a certain kitsune.
“Where are you going?” he asked.
“To save my friend.” Mayuri replied as she tried to push past him but not really succeeding.
“How can you save her? You probably don't know where you are going and you don't have the stone.”
“AH, correction kitsune. I know precisely where I am going and I do have the stone.” Mayuri said as she got past him.
“Then give it to us so we can strike a deal with that guy.' Yusuke said and Mayuri turned to him.
“To get the stone, you will have to do something that I guarantee you won't do.” Mayuri said as she stopped by the doors.
“Want to bet?” Yusuke asked, cockily.
Mayuri turned to him with an amused grin and walked to stand in front of him. She drew her dagger, flipped it so she held the blade and handed it to him. Confused he took it and looked at her. “Fine. If you want it, stab me and retrieve it from my heart.” Mayuri replied. Everyone instantly froze and Mayuri grinned even bigger as she snatched the dagger from Yusuke and resheathed it before walking out the door.
A few seconds later the shock was gone and Koenma said, “Follow her and keep her safe. I traced the deliverer to the North. Now go!” The boys ran out of the door and after the panther demon.
Mayuri landed in a crouch after stepping through the portal Botan had summoned. She stood up swiftly and moved out of the way in time just as Kuwabara and Yusuke stumbled out of the portal behind her. Mayuri sighed and rubbed her temples as Hiei and Kurama came out of the portal behind them. “Why are you here?” She snapped.
“To beat this guy!” Kuwabara yelled as he jumped up throwing Yusuke off from his back. “Let's go!” he said and began going north. Hiei disappeared into the trees and Kurama helped Yusuke up before following. Mayuri waited until they were thirty yards away before she took off running in the opposite direction. Kurama noticed that Mayuri wasn't following them and turned in time to see her rush off in the opposite direction. He turned and sprinted after her. Everyone looked back in confusion but soon followed when they realized what was going on.
Mayuri was completely concentrating on the correct direction she was going in and was surprised when she was grabbed from behind. They tumbled and Mayuri ended up on the bottom, her shoulders pinned down. She glared at the crimson eyes of Hiei, “What are you doing, baka?” She asked as she struggled against his hold.
“You are the baka. You are going the wrong way. Koenma said he was up North.” Was her reply.
“He's wrong.” She said as she brought her knees up and pushed him away and stood, “Since when did important demons in Makai willingly give their locations to Koenma in the form of a delivery boy?” She asked before she took off running as the others caught up and the chase began again but Hiei did not try to catch her again. He wanted to see if she was right.
Apparently she was because a large, stone castle loomed over the trees and Mayuri seemed to speed up. “Hey! She was right!” Yusuke shouted and Hiei rolled his eyes.
“Of course she was right, she lived here for most of her demon life.” Hiei responded, taking Mayuri's side even though he had also thought she was wrong. They finally caught sight of Mayuri again when they reached the gate. Mayuri was disappearing into the castle, seen through the closing gate. Even though Hiei sped up, they did not make it in time before the gate closed. Yusuke raised his finger and shouted, “Spirit Gun!”
When the smoke from the attack disappeared there was a large hole that they climbed through and fought off the demon guards that approached. “We need to hurry if we want to help Maya.” Kurama said as he sliced a demon in half with his whip. The others nodded and they killed the demons faster. Soon they were inside, racing up stairs towards where a demon who had tried to save his life, pointed out the direction they needed.
Mayuri ran down the hall, stopped by no one. Finally after turning down many different halls, Mayuri arrived in the hallway of the Trophy room where Mayuri knew her ex-master was. She threw open the doors to be greeted by her master sitting in a chair made of silver and her best friend, Kiriana, chained by the neck next to him.
“Damn you!” Mayuri shouted as she ran forward to strike the bastard that sat there with a smirk that made her want to wipe it off his face.
“Now, now, Kitten. No need for such foul language.” He replied with his smirk and face still intact, for now.
“When I am done with you, you aren't even going to be able to say them.” Mayuri retorted.
He stood up, his tan eyes glaring at Mayuri, “Don't talk like that to me, Kitten.” He hissed.
“I can talk to you how I want. I am not your kitten anymore.”
“You are, and always will be my Kitten.” Then he attacked. Mayuri saw it and dodged.
“Kitty wants to play.” Mayuri said to taunt her old master as she waved her arms in the air. The water in the air came together and began swirling around Mayuri. When it cleared, Mayuri had a chest plate made of solidified water and an ice katana. Mayuri watched him a second before attacking again. He dodged and grabbed her from behind. He pulled her to him and sniffed her hair. He then let out a low growl.
“You have the scent of a male on you! Who is it?” He shouted as he threw her away from him just as Yusuke and the others entered the room. Her master stopped and sniffed the air and turned to the boys, eyes fixing on Hiei. “AH, It's you!” he said as he stepped towards them. “You are the one that touched my Kitten. Now, you will pay.” He charged at Hiei who dodged and disappeared.
Since her master was distracted Mayuri gathered herself and ran to Kiriana. “Kiri! Are you all right?”
The girl in question looked up at her with dull red eyes, “Who are you?”
Mayuri could not keep the hurt from her eyes and voice as she said, “It's me Kiri, Mayuri.”
“Mayuri? I do not know a Mayuri. Please go away.” Kiriana then looked away from Mayuri and curled up into a ball. Mayuri stood, not believing her ears. Tears welled up in her eyes as her body seemed to be convulsing. A tear slipped from her eye and fell to the floor where the ground turned white and slippery as the water froze. The tears then suddenly disappeared and instead of her coal black eyes Mayuri's eyes turned ice blue. She stepped forward and walked slowly to where Hiei and her old master where battling. Hiei stopped instantly when Mayuri came into the line of fire as did her old master and all the boys stared at her in shock.
Her black hair seemed to lighten to dark gray, gray, silver, and then finally snow white. She looked up at her old master, dull eyes wide. “She forgot. You made her forget. Now you will forget. And you will never be able to forget again.”
