Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ The Dancer, Mayuri ❯ Koran and the Mysterious Person ( Chapter 8 )

Dark: Hello everyone! Now to not waste anymore of your time, let me thank the reviewers!

 

Thanx for reviewing!!

 

Disclaimer: Own Mayuri, Kiriana, and Koran

 

Two things told Mayuri that Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara weren't happy. One was by the way that they pulled her around, after binding her hands with ice and water wards, making sure she kept moving. The other was how after they walked through a portal, she was shoved to the ground.

 

“Hiei! What the hell are you doing that to her. She's our friend.” She heard the one with orange hair shout.

 

“She is not our friend anymore.” She heard Hiei reply. Hiei's knee drove itself into her back and Mayuri spit out the blood that entered her mouth when it did so. Mayuri smirked and moved her tail so it laid flat on her back and then with all the force she could muster, she pushed it backwards, smiling when she heard it connect with flesh and the knee from her back was instantly removed.

 

“Do not touch me.” Mayuri growled waving her tail around warningly. She rolled over and pushed herself up using her tail. “I do not know you people and I do not trust you. My pride will get me out, mark my words.”

 

“Shut up.” Yusuke said flatly.

 

Mayuri couldn't help herself. She burst out laughing. Not a joyous laugh. One that started out as a dark chuckle and then worked its way up until she was shaking. “You think… that I have… to listen… to you people? What can you do to me? You can't torture me into telling you where they are. I have been with them for a few weeks so I have no idea where they could have hidden your friends.” Mayuri just stood there before Hiei disappeared and a few seconds something hit the back of her head and her world went black.

 

 

With Kiriana and Kurama

 

The red head and the pink head were thrown into a cage made from water that could not be influenced by neither flames nor plants. “Sorry you had to be dragged into this, Kurama. If I had just focused on get Mayuri's memory back.” Kiriana drew her legs up to her chin and rested her head on them.

 

“It's not your fault.”

 

“Yes it is.” Kiriana said as she began rocking back and forward.

 

“No Kiriana, listen to me. You couldn't do anything. Mayuri didn't remember anyone so she did not know who she could trust.” Kurama pulled Kiriana's head away from her knees but saw that she was not paying attention so he did the only thing he could do. He pulled her into his lap and held her still, waiting for her to emerge from inside her head.

 

With Mayuri (In her head)

 

Mayuri was surrounded by black. Then a figure glowing silver appeared next to her. Her hair was long and flowing around her and her eyes were hard as they seemed to pierce her skin at a glance.

 

`Why did you kill me, Mayuri?' The figure asked.

 

Mayuri looked up at her and studied her hard and soon her eyes widened in shock.

 

“I didn't kill you.” Mayuri stated. “Ani killed you.”

 

`You let me die.' The figure stated.

 

“I could not protect you when I am tied and gagged. You were the one that let Ani into our house and watched as he killed Father.” Mayuri replied, “Some good mother you are, to let your own husband be killed by your son and leave your six year old daughter to protect herself.”

 

`There was nothing I could do.' The figure insisted but Mayuri just stared at her with emotionless eyes.

 

“Yeah, well neither could I.” Mayuri replied and the figure that was the ghost of her mother began to fade away but another glow was appearing. This time the figure took the shape of her father, the only person in her family that loved her.

 

`Why must you do that to yourself?' he asked.

 

“Do what?” Mayuri retorted.

 

`Lock away the things that will help you get stronger.' The figure replied as he reached forward and patted her on the head, `You memory has left you to make you fend for yourself. When the time is right, you will gain what is rightfully yours and you will protect it with all your might.' The figure smiled at her but Mayuri's face did not change.

 

“You talk in riddles old man. When will I get my memory back and what will I gain that I will protect with all my might?” Mayuri snapped, the riddles not making sense to her.

 

`You will gain what you have been robbed of since you were born. Not even I could give it to you fully. You just have to trust yourself and others.' And then the figure of her father disappeared. Mayuri sat down in the darkness and thought.

 

`Something I did not have as a child? What didn't I have? DAMN IT!!!!!!! If only I had my memory!' and then Mayuri was surrounded by a bright light that suddenly transformed into a room. The walls were a deep blue with a light blue carpet. The bed in the corner was a light blue and the figure in the bed appeared to be asleep. Mayuri's eyes widened in surprise when she recognized the figure to be a younger version of herself. The door to her room slammed open and her father walked ran in, straight to where younger Mayuri had sat up, rubbing her eyes.

 

“Was' goin' on?” Young Mayuri asked.

 

“Come on Yuri, we need to get out of here.” Her father said in a rush as he pulled her out of bed and threw her, her ice blue jacket.

 

“Why Daddy?” Mayuri asked as she slipped her arms into her sleeves.

 

“Ani is coming to kill us.” Her father replied as he then tossed her, her black boots.

 

“Onii-chan? Why would he kill us?” Mayuri asked.

 

“He's not the same person he was before. He is no longer your brother.” Her father reached forward and grabbed her arms, forcing her to stare into his sapphire eyes. “Listen to me, Yuri. If Ani finds you, promise me, no matter what, you will protect yourself against him, even if he is your brother.”

 

“I don't think I can hurt onii-chan.” Mayuri said softly.

 

“Yuri, you must. It is your only chance for survival.” Her father's grip on her arms tightened and Mayuri nodded. “Good. Now, let's go.” He grabbed her hand and led her from the room and down the stairs. In the living room her father came to a stop and pushed Mayuri behind him.

 

“Hello Father, little sister. So glad to see you again.” A slight musical voice reached their ears. Her father's panther ears flattened against his head.

 

“You are not welcome here.” Her father stated but her brother just laughed.

 

“Good thing I don't plan on staying. I just have a quick something to do and then I will leave.” Ani replied. Mayuri peeked around from behind her father to look at her brother for the first time since she was a baby. His hair was a sapphire blue and on his head rested a pair of panther ears that were black tipped with ice blue that matched his eyes. He stared coldly at his sister and reached out a hand, “Come to me, imoto-chan. I won't hurt you.”

 

“No. Daddy said not to.” Mayuri replied as she hid behind her father.

 

“Then I will make sure that `Daddy' won't be able to tell you what to do anymore.” Ani stated and an ice dagger appeared in his hand. He then threw it with such speed that it was not visible until it was stuck in her father's chest. He collapsed in front of her and she screamed.

 

“DADDY!!”

 

“Mayuri, listen to me. Be strong. Don't give in. You will find someone to love you more than I ever could. You deserve it.”

 

“Daddy, don't leave me. Please!” Mayuri said as she kneeled over her father, her eyes blurring with tears.

 

“I have to, Sweetie. Remember, don't let Ani get you. You are more special than you realize. I love you, my daughter, my Yuri.” And with his last breath, his life left him. She did not notice Ani come up behind her or that they were not alone when she felt a hand on her shoulder and heard snickering behind her.

 

“You think my Daddy's death is funny?” Mayuri asked as she summoned an ice dagger similar to Ani's except hers was a midnight blue. She then turned and slashed at the first thing she could which happened to be Ani's face. Ani screamed in pain and his hands flew to his face as Mayuri was disarmed and restrained by ropes around her wrists and ankles and gagged. Then for revenge on the attack of his face, Ani ordered her mother killed right in front of her but to his dismay Mayuri just smirked, “You think I actually liked Mommy? Ha! She was no Mommy to me.” Then Mayuri was knocked unconscious and the Older Mayuri was thrown from the memory.

 

Some of her memory then returned to her. Ani was scarred from her attack. A white scar disturbed his handsome features and went from his left temple through his eye which was now clouded to his chin. Ani then had sold Mayuri into slavery where she worked as a servant to a rich demon's daughter who treated her more like scum. When she reached her teen years, her mistress was `mysteriously' murdered and Mayuri was sold to Dankotsu.

 

Mayuri sat up straight in a bed and looked around the room she was in. For some reason she felt like she had been here before and she was assaulted by another memory.

 

“How do I get out of here?” She asked and waited for a reply that didn't come. “Well?” She snapped.

“Koenma might not want you to leave.” Yusuke replied and Maya smirked.

“You are correct. Koenma might not want me to leave but I want to.” Maya brought the tip of the dagger to her finger and began playing with the tip. “I guess I have to go find that blasted grim reaper.” Maya tossed the dagger up in the air.

“Good luck. She won't tell you willingly.” Yusuke smirked as he crossed him arms, cockily.

Maya was still walking away when the dagger came down and she caught it in-between her fingers, “Who said anything about me just asking? I am not a patient person.” With that Maya disappeared into the darkness.

“Oh Shit!” Kuwabara and Yusuke shouted and ran after the slightly insane panther demon.

~~~~~~~~~~

`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.

Mayuri held her head in her hands and she sighed. She was glad she was getting her memory back but what her father had said to her was bugging her. What would she gain that she never had. Something that her father couldn't give her enough of. She closed her eyes as she thought and was surprised when a black panther appeared in her head. It gazed at her with ruby eyes. `Love.' It said, its voice ringing in her head.

 

“What?” Mayuri asked it.

 

`Maybe the answer you are seeking is Love.' The panther stated.

 

“Maybe. Who are you?”

 

`My name is Koran. I am your spirit beast. I protect you and those in your line.'

 

“How come I have never heard from you before?”

 

`Because you did not need me then. You need me now. I can help you but I need you to set me free from yourself.'

 

“How?”

 

`Envision me standing in front of you and use your spirit energy to do as you envision.' Mayuri did as Koran asked and when she opened her eyes Koran stood right in front of her. `Good. Now it is time for me to explain something about your family to you.'

 

 

 

Dankotsu was led into a dark throne room. The servant that brought him bowed respectfully before leaving Dankotsu in the shadows where he swayed from foot to foot, nervously.

 

“Why have you come to me, Dankotsu?” A voice asked in the darkness.

 

“Well, Master. I seem to have been defeated by Mayuri, sir.”

 

“And?”

 

“Well, she did it with the help of Koenma's Spirit Detectives.”

 

“WHAT?! I told you to keep her away from them!”

 

“It is alright Master. I found out that she had some problems with them and soon after she lost her memory! She does not remember them.”

 

“That is good. How is our bargaining chip?” the voice asked and Dankotsu cringed as if struck.

 

“Well milord. When I was defeated by her, the rabbit demon was taken with them.”

 

“YOU FOOL! Now I will NEVER get the FROZEN TEARDROP or the FROZEN FLAME!!!”

 

“I know Milord. Please, give me another chance! I will get her for you! I will not disappoint you!” Dankotsu begged.

 

“Fine, but disappoint me again and I will make sure that you don't have the chance to do that again.” The voice said and Dankotsu nodded and quickly left.

 

 

 

Dark: Yay! Cliffhanger! Who is this mysterious person?

 

Hiei: I thought you hate cliffhangers

 

Dark: Only when I'm reading them. Besides that, I love to write them. Well, R&R!
