Mayuri dressed in a white tank top and a pair of jeans with a black studded belt and brushed her hair. She pulled on a pair of black slip on shoes with white skulls and walked downstairs. Koran followed her as she went passed the living room where the boys were and out the front door. They were half way down the steps when Mayuri turned to Koran. “Ningens will freak out if they saw a large cat walking around.” Koran nodded and disappeared, Mayuri's tattoo reappearing before she began down the stairs again.

 

A half an hour later, Mayuri arrived outside a place she had hardly ever set foot into. The mall. A rainbow of smells erupted from the door when she stepped inside and it took all of her control not to gag. She walked cautiously, searching for pink hair or a glimpse of crimson eyes. It was only when she heard laughter that reminded her of tinkling bells did Mayuri's head whip around to find Kiriana, Yukina, and Keiko exiting a store. Mayuri, relief flooding through, set a beeline course straight to Kiri.

 

To say that Kiri was startled to see Mayuri was an understatement. “What are you doing here?”

 

“I came to shop with you guys. Is that alright?” Mayuri asked and Kiri's shock turned into a large grin that also appeared on Yukina's and Keiko's face.

 

“Of course!” They all said at the same time and the three looked at each other. It was Keiko who declared, “Let's go girls! We have a lot of work to do!” And they grabbed Mayuri and pulled her in the store they just left. Mayuri instantly regretted coming and not waiting for Kiri to return to the temple.

 

Four hours later Mayuri was officially dressed up as a girly girl. And she hated it.

 

“But you look so cute!” Kiri declared.

 

“Then you wear it.” Mayuri snapped.

 

“It looks cute on you.” Keiko clarified.

 

“Then let me burn it.” Mayuri replied as she crossed her arms.

 

“Why would you burn something that looks so cute?” Yukina asked.

 

“Why wouldn't you?” Mayuri muttered.

 

“Ignore her, Yukina. Mayuri is just being a grouch but unless she cheers up, I'm not going to give her the perfectly not girlie shirt that I bought her.” Kiri said and she was instantly faced with the largest, most adorable black eyes ever.

 

“Really?” Mayuri asked in such a cute child's voice.

 

The three girls “Aw,”ed and Mayuri smirked, her demeanor returning.

 

“See, I can be adorable when I want to.” Mayuri said as they walked to Keiko's car.

 

“True, we will give you that. If you want your shirt, you have to keep that outfit on until it time to go to sleep.”

 

“Fine.” Muttered Mayuri as she climbed into the back seat along with Yukina and Keiko and Kiri were in the front.. They drove back to the temple and the three original shoppers entered first, set their bags down and went into the living room where the boys had yet to move from where they quickly gained their attention.

 

“We would like to introduce the new and improved Mayuri!” Kiri said and the three moved to the sides of the doorway and the click of shoes on the wooden floors approached it.

 

“You say that like there was something wrong with me in the first place.” Mayuri said before she appeared in the doorway to be greeted with stares. She wore a silky black tank top with a hood that had lavender designs over it, a black pleated mini skirt, and black high heels with straps that wrapped up her leg to her knees. Her hair was down, under the hood of her shirt that was pulled up and her black eyes were tastefully ringed with thin black eyeliner while her lips shined with clear lip gloss that smelled of watermelon.

 

Mayuri stood under their stares quite well but after a while, she turned to Kiri and said, “Can you show me the shirt, please?”

 

Kiri smiled a secretive smile and shook her head, “Nope. Curiosity killed the cat.”

 

Mayuri growled in annoyance, knowing that Kiri was going to use that saying very often and muttered, “But satisfaction brought it back.”

 

Kiri scratched her chin, “I haven't heard that one.” Then she shrugged, “Oh well. The answer is still no.” Then Kiri walked over to plop on the couch next to Kurama and engage him in a conversation causing one less people to stare at her makeover.

 

Mayuri walked over to Yusuke and kicked him in the stomach and he shouted, “Hey!” as he rubbed his stomach.

 

“You shouldn't be staring.” Mayuri retorted.

 

“That's not fair! You could use those as weapons! They're painful!”

 

“You should try walking in them.” Mayuri muttered as she slipped out of the room and into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and pulled out an apple that she bit into and sat down on the island, thinking about nothing as she continued to eat her apple.

 

Yukina walked into the room and said, “The boys liked your makeover.”

 

“How about you give them a makeover.” Mayuri said and a picture of Hiei dressed up in her outfit made her laugh. Her sudden outburst of laughter caused Yukina to look at her in confusion.

 

“What's so funny?”

 

Mayuri just shook her head and hopped down from the island, “Don't worry about it.” Then she returned to the fridge, taking another apple before turning, “If anyone asks, I'm going for a walk.” Then she walked out the back door.

 

 

Mayuri finished her first apple and tossed the core behind her before pulling out the second apple and biting into it. `Wow. I never knew how good ningen apples were. I think I'm going to be addicted.' Mayuri stopped and looked around her, taking in her surroundings. She was in a secluded part of the local park and she smiled as she looked up into the canopy of leaved above her that let in a few golden rays of the sun.

 

“Well, what do we have here?” a voice said and Mayuri looked over her shoulder to see three demons. A slow smile crept up her lips as she looked at them.

 

“Woah! It's the chick the guy wanted us to kill.” The one with green skin and one eye said.

 

“That can't be her. The one in the photo was dressed like a boy.” One said with a voice so high pitched that it was hard to tell the gender. It had eerie yellow skin that looked slimy.

 

“No, that's her.” The final one said, his purple skin radiating such a horrid scent that Mayuri's nose scrunched in disgust.

 

“Then what are we waiting for? Let's get her.” The first one said and Mayuri sighed.

 

Mayuri looked at the rest of her apple longingly and was surprised when it was knocked out of her hand. She turned to look at the other three and saw they all carried weapons, the green one with a broad sword, the yellow one with a crossbow with crewed cut arrows, and the purple one with a pair of large sais. Her pupils slit as her eyes flashed to their mix matched counter parts, “You'll pay for that.” Then her aura surrounded her and she changed her form, lunging as soon as her transformation was complete. She pulled out a dagger as she ran and a second later, the one with yellow skin was looking up at it's forehead where the hilt of the dagger was as the blade was lodged in it's head. It's eyes flickered back to her before they dimmed and it collapsed backwards. Then Mayuri pulled the dagger out and clutched it backwards so the blade covered in blood was against her arm. Then she smiled at the other two. “I told you that you would pay.”

 

The other two looked at each other a second before they turned back to her and lunged.

 

 

Kiri smiled as she walked into the kitchen to see Yukina washing dishes. “Hey Yukina, Have you seen Mayuri?”

 

The ice maiden looked at her and nodded, “Yeah, she said that she was going for a walk.”

 

“Oh, okay…” A frown appeared on Kiri's lips and they all felt the large spike of energy that felt familiar. Then in a flash of pink, Kiri was out the door.

 

“What the hell was that?” Kuwabara asked as he ran into the kitchen.

 

“It was demon energy.” Kurama replied as he followed Kuwabara in.

 

“Not just any demon. Mayuri.” Yukina said

 

 

Mayuri sat on the ground with her legs crossed, munching on a blood red apple. She was surrounded by the blood and the three corpses yet it didn't bother her as she continued eating her apple. She wasn't even bothered when two people flew from the trees and landed on either side of her. Nope, she was too preoccupied eating her apple and moving her head side to side to a song in her head.

 

“Mayuri, are you okay?” Mayuri stopped moving her head and looked up at Kiri.

 

“Last time I checked. Hold on.” Mayuri closed her eyes and a few seconds later she opened them again, “Yep. Everything's where it should be.”

 

Concerned dark crimson eyes flickered from Mayuri to Kiri. “What's wrong with her?”

Kiri looked at Hiei, “I honestly don't know.”

 

Mayuri took the last bite of her apple and when she swallowed it, she tossed it, accidentally hitting Hiei in the head. “Whoops,” then Mayuri burst out laughing. When she was finished, she jumped to her feet and began walking, searching intently for something.

 

Kiri and Hiei followed her and when they caught up, Kiri asked, “What are you searching for?”

 

“Apples. You don't happen to have one, do you?” Mayuri turned hopeful eyes upon her but Kiri shook her head and the hope disappeared.

 

“That's it.” Hiei walked forward and picked Mayuri up, tossing her over his shoulder before he began back towards the forest.

 

“Hiei! Where are you taking her?” Kiri asked as she ran to catch up.

 

“Where else? To Genkai, Yukina, and Kurama. This onna needs help.” Then he blurred away, Kiri right behind him.

 

 

Ten minutes later, Mayuri was sitting on the couch with her arms and legs crossed, surrounded by the gang. “What's going on? What are we doing?” Yusuke asked.

 

“Hiei is showing us an example of what he and Kiri saw earlier. Apparently, Mayuri is only interested in a-p-p-l-e-s.” Kurama said.

 

“Apples?” Kuwabara asked and Kurama tried to shush them but Mayuri's ear flicked as she heard them and she pounced Kuwabara.

 

“Apples? Where? Do you have any?” Mayuri asked in a frantic and Kurama gripped her arms tightly to get her off Kuwabara and back onto the couch.

 

“Well, that was strange. I never thought Mayuri would do that to anyone.” Keiko said.

 

“Anyone except Hiei.” Yusuke muttered to Kuwabara who was on his feet once again.

 

“Shut up, Detective. You're lucky that Mayuri is acting strangely or she would have killed you and make no mistake that none of us would lift a finger to stop her.” Hiei said as he and Kiri walked into the room.

 

Yusuke was about to reply when Kurama cut him off, “Hiei, Yusuke, you can argue later. Please demonstrate with Mayuri so we can find out what is wrong with her. You two can yell and kill each other later.”

 

Hiei and Kiri stood in front of Mayuri with their arms behind their back, holding something in each hand. “Watch how Mayuri reacts to each item.” Kiri moved one hand in front of her to reveal a candy bar. Mayuri just looked at it. Hiei pulled out a bowl of ice cream. Mayuri just continue to stare, unfeeling. Kiri then pulled out a bag of pure sugar and Mayuri did not move. Then Hiei pulled out an apple.

 

“APPLE!” Mayuri shouted as she pounced Hiei and wrestled with him to get the apple. She was pushed off him and she skidded backwards. Then she crouched and lunged. She aimed higher than him and flew over. Then she landed, spun, and knocked his feet out from under him. He flew and the apple flew in the air. Mayuri jumped up and caught the apple with a large grin on her face and then she fell to the floor. She landed on Hiei, who was on his back from behind knocked down by her, in a sitting position and she bit into her apple. A soft purring sound came from her and her tail flicked side to side happily.

 

“Yes, something is definitely wrong with her.” Kurama said and everyone nodded, eyes wide from the scene they had just witnessed.
