D: Hello all! I would like to apologize for this chapter taking a while. I had to go to my dad's for a month and I didn't have my files to type so I'm sooo sorry.

 

S: You better be

 

D: Of course I am so I won't waste any more of you time

 

S: She owns Mayuri, Kiriana, Ani, and Koran

 

 

“Yes, you have always hated me, little sister.” The figure stepped into the light and they were surprised to see a man with the same milky features as Mayuri. His sapphire hair shined but was all over the place. On his head were the same black panther ears that were on Mayuri's head but they where tipped with ice blue on the ends. His ice blue eyes were cold as they stared at his sibling, marred with anger, hate, and a wicked long scar that ran from the right side of his forehead, through his right eye to his chin. White fangs gleamed in Mayuri's direction and she bared hers in a malicious grin.

 

“You're no brother to me, Ani.” She said as she disappeared in a blur, followed by her brother a few seconds later. Hiei, not being able to watch the two because they were too fast, even for his Jagan, walked over to Kurama and Kiriana to see if they were alright. Kiriana was still unconscious but she was fine besides the finger shaped bruises on her neck that where beginning to show already. Kurama was just exhausted from his missed attacks and dodged assaults. He just held Kiriana against him and watched for enemies from one open eye. Hiei looked at him and Kurama nodded that he was okay. Yusuke and Kuwabara burst into the room and where thrown to the ground by an invisible force by the names of Mayuri and Ani. A second later, both humans were able to get up only to see a door across the room fly open and many guards run in.

 

“Damn it! How many goons does this dude have?” Yusuke shouted as he got to his feet as did Kuwabara.

 

Hiei just took out his katana and glared at the troops, “Just shut up and fight Detective.” Then the three threw themselves into battle, protecting Kurama and Kiriana as they fought.

 

Mayuri was fighting with all her might. She remembered every move that her teachers have taught her over the years, both dancers and fighters. She would not be under his power again. Never under his control. She was free and she was sure as hell going to stay that way. Her teeth were bared the whole time in anger as she dodged his attacks and added her own. They stopped every five minutes for a second or two, both carrying more cuts, bruises and pain with each break. Finally Mayuri waited for him to stop before she launched herself at him.

 

Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei were fighting their hardest while Kurama was watching for any threats approaching and watching Mayuri. He watched as Mayuri and her brother appeared every five minutes, scratches and bruises appearing with each appearance. Finally, her brother appeared but Mayuri did not. He understood as he watched Ani fly backwards and crash into the wall, creating a large dent that took up the whole wall.

 

All demons (A/N: and Kuwabara) in the room paused at the loud sound but Team Urameshi took that chance to finish off the remaining demon guards before turning to see Ani against the wall that was cracked from his impact and blood coming from his head.

 

Mayuri appeared in front of him a second later and she walked towards him, her walk like that of a predator approaching her prey. Her form once again rippled and she now had milky white hair that flew around her in her sapphire blue aura that surrounded her and her eyes turned solid crimson that held so many emotions that no one could read them all as they flashed through her eyes. The thing that stood out was there was no mercy visible. Her clothes changed into a silk white sleeveless dress. It hugged her chest and from her hips down, it flowed outward to her ankles and her white slip on shoes. Her right hand that was held down at her side flashed black and a second later a dagger that seemed to be made out of black electricity appeared. She walked forward and bent over her brother that was unmoving on the ground, watching her with wide, frightened eyes.

 

“You are my brother. We share the same flesh, the same blood. But we do not share the same heart. You hurt those around you for your benefit. I will not allow you to stay here, alive, to hurt the ones that I love. You will not hurt Yusuke, Kuwabara, or Kurama. They are my friends. You will not hurt my sister, Kiriana. And you will not hurt my Hiei. You want to know how I will make sure you will not hurt them? It's because I am going to kill you and trust me when I say that I do not believe in painless death.” She moved back a few inches and then a millisecond later, the black dagger she had held in her hand was in his heart. He screamed in pain as he felt his powers drain away, into the dagger.

 

“Please! Have Mercy!” He screamed but Mayuri was unmoving.

 

“How could you do that to your brother?” Yusuke asked but Mayuri paid him no mind.

 

“Did you give our mother mercy when you slain her to torture me? Did you give our father mercy when he tried to get me to safety? Did you give Kiriana mercy when you sold her into slavery because she had the heart to adopt me as her sister? Did you show me mercy when you sold me to Dankotsu as a dancer, better known as a whore?” Ani watched her with scared eyes as the life in them began to dim from the blood of the wound, rushing out of his body faster than his power was draining into the dagger. Finally he slumped over and Mayuri withdrew the dagger that disappeared in midair. When she turned around, her eyes were cold and stoic and they all saw that she took no pleasure in the killing but knew it had to be done. She walked over to Hiei that was the one closest to her and collapsed into unconsciousness and Hiei caught her.

 

“Well, I guess it's all done. Let's head back to Koenma's.” Yusuke said and Kuwabara took Kiriana from Kurama and Yusuke helped the exhausted kitsune. Hiei led the way out of the castle, Mayuri held in his arms bridal style when they ran into none other than Koran. He nodded his head to Hiei before his eyes flickered to Mayuri. He stood still for a few seconds before walking behind the group, facing the castle and the boys turned around to watch him. He opened his mouth and soon a huge flaming ball of energy formed and shot at the castle, causing it to go up in flames, disappearing in only a few seconds. When he turned around he saw the shocked faces.

 

`What? It's what my Keeper wanted.' Koran told them mentally, nodding in Mayuri's direction.

 

Hiei just shook his head and turned around, beginning to walk. A second later Mayuri slung to his cloak front, startling him until he noted that she was still unconscious. He could have sworn she muttered, “Stupid Castle,” before she relaxed and a smile tugged at Hiei's lips.

 

 

After a few hours of walking, they finally reached a safe clearing and they contacted Koenma to give them a portal. When they arrived in the office, Kuwabara ran over to the couch that was present and swiftly set Kiriana down. “Dang Kurama. I know she's your girlfriend and all but she in heavy!” Unfortunately for Kuwabara, Kiriana happened to wake up the moment he had set her down so she heard every word.

 

“What did you say about me, ningen?” Kiriana snapped as she hopped up and began chasing Kuwabara around. Kurama, Yusuke, and Hiei just watched as she ran after him as he ran for his life. All the ruckus caused Mayuri to stir and she picked her head up from where it rested on Hiei's chest.

 

“Kiri, can you keep it down? I'm sleeping.” She muttered but Kiri's long ears heard her.

 

“You look like you were sleeping quite comfortably too.” Yusuke said with a perverted grin on. That was how Yusuke joined Kuwabara in running for his life.

 

“You don't think they can keep this up, can they? I mean, they just woke up from being unconscious.” Kuwabara asked as they ran.

 

“The fact that they just woke up is the reason they haven't caught us yet. I wouldn't put it past them that they could stay like this for a while.” Yusuke replied as they ran faster. Finally Mayuri got bored and shot a glimpse at Kiriana who nodded before the panther stopped running, Kiriana still chasing the boys. The boys watched behind them while they ran from Kiri and didn't notice that they were running in circles so they soon crashed into Mayuri's outstretched fists.

 

“That's what you get, you idiots.” Mayuri and Kiriana stated as they walked back to the other two boys. Kiriana wrapped her arms around Kurama's waist and Mayuri put her arm on Hiei's when the room started spinning.

 

Kurama saw that the running had worn the girls out so he said, “Yusuke, Kuwabara. I highly suggest that you both chill out with your comments until the girls feel better.” Then he left the room, escorting Kiriana to a place she could sleep.

 

“Are you tired?” Hiei asked Mayuri, who shook her head. “Yeah, right.” Hiei picked Mayuri up against her protests and walked out of the room, leaving the two idiots behind.

 

After a few minutes of walking, Mayuri's protests quieted as the gentle swaying of Hiei's walking put her to sleep. As he walked, Hiei noticed a small rumbling coming from Mayuri and saw the small smile on her face. Then he recognized the rumbling as Mayuri purring. He was in shock for a second before he smirked and opened the door to his room. He set Mayuri on the bed before standing straight. He watched her innocent face that she had when she slept. She always appeared my older when she was awake, her eyes full of wisdom she was too young to be exposed to but as she slept, her youth showed through. True, for a human, she was old but for a youkai, she wasn't that old.

 

He reached over and scratched behind her ear causing her purring to become louder. His smirk grew more pronounced and he removed his hand, leaving the panther demon to sleep.

 

 

A few hours later, everyone was at Genkai's, having moved the still unconscious Mayuri with them. Kiriana was chatting with Yukina, Keiko and Botan, Yusuke and Kuwabara were shouting at each other as they played a racing game, Kurama was reading a book, Genkai was sipping her tea in the corner, and Hiei was on his windowsill, sharpening his blade.

 

They all paused when they heard a thump and a string of colorful words follow. They turned to the doorway to see a disheveled Mayuri. She wore a large black t-shirt that went to her knees and biking shorts under it. Her hair was messy and her eyes were still full of sleep.

 

“May?” Kiriana asked, breaking the silence. She was shocked. Mayuri never let anyone see her except at her best. May's hazing gaze shifted to her and she staggered over to Kiri and sat down next to her.

 

“Mayuri, are you okay? Maybe you should get some more sleep.” Kurama said.

 

Mayuri turned to him and snapped, “I don't want to sleep. Not to mention, not even the dead could sleep thanks to these idiots.” Mayuri gestured to Yusuke and Kuwabara.

 

“That's true May, but you really should try. Maybe Yukina can make you a sleeping tea.” Kiriana suggested.

 

“ I said I don't want to sleep.” Mayuri snapped again and she stood up. She stalked from the room and up the stairs. As she went Koran appeared next to her, watching her with sympathetic eyes. She walked to the room she had woken up and slammed the door behind her. She sat down in the far corner and drew her knees to her chest. Koran laid down in front of her, boxing her in the corner and closed his eyes. Mayuri stared straight ahead and stayed like that for a few hours.

 

There was a knock on the door and Mayuri and Koran heard Kiriana calling to her but they didn't move except Koran opening his eyes and raising his head from resting on his paws. When she received no reply, Kiriana opened the door and walked into the room. She wore a pair of jeans and a white tank top with a golden design on it. Her hair was braided and she wore large golden hoops in her ears.

 

“May, the girls and I are going to the mall and were wondering if you wanted to come.” Kiriana said but was answered with silence. She took a few steps in Mayuri's direction and reached her hand out but Koran was in her way before she could touch Mayuri.

 

“No. Go ahead without me.” Mayuri said, her eyes focusing on the ground.

 

Kiriana didn't say anything but straighten up and walk to the door. Before she opened it to leave she paused and said, “Why are you doing this? It's like I don't know you anymore.” And with that, she left.

 

Mayuri was shocked when Kiri said this and she realized that she was acting different. When they were dancers, Mayuri confided everything to her best friend but now she kept everything to herself. She felt bad, knowing she had hurt Kiriana when she lost her memory and was hurting her even more now that she wasn't telling Kiri anything. Sadness enveloped Mayuri as she thought about these things. `I haven't been a good friend. I did not think about how my actions would affect her.' Mayuri looked up and out the window. `I'm sorry Kiri. I really am. I will make things like they once were.'
