Note: Dark does not own Yu Yu Hakusho. She does own Kiri, Mayuri, Koran, and Ani

 

Mayuri rocked herself back and forward as she stared at the wall. She knew that she promised to be quiet but she had so much energy and nothing to do. So she rocked herself, a song playing in her head. She wasn't paying attention so she was extremely startled when Hiei appeared in front of her, holding her knees down to stop her from rocking.

 

“Stop.” That was all Hiei said but his eyes glared at her.

 

Mayuri looked at him with no emotion, “Why?”

 

Mayuri saw the twitching of his eye and almost smirked but she held it back. “Because, it's annoying me.”

 

Mayuri gave an innocent smile and said, “Alright Hiei.”

 

Hiei then stood and went back to sit in front of the door. Mayuri sat still for one minute before she stood and went to sit on the edge of the bed. Then she began to bounce her leg.

 

Once again Hiei appeared next to her and held her leg down. “I said stop.”

 

“I'm sorry but I'm just so bored,” Mayuri stated.

 

“Too bad. Sit still.” Hiei once again moved back to the door.

 

Mayuri sighed as she turned to look out the window but a smile appeared on her face as she stood and ran to the window.

 

Hiei watched her and said, “What?”

 

Mayuri turned to him to say, “Koran is back!” before she returned to looking out the window with her hands and face pressed against the glass.

 

“Where has he been, anyway?” Hiei asked, just realizing that he hasn't seen the panther in a while.

 

“He's been doing me a favor and watching my pride while they healed. Now that he's back means that they are okay.” Once again Mayuri turned to Hiei and he knew by the look on her face she was going to ask him something, “Please Hiei, I haven't seen him in days. Can he come in here?”

 

Hiei thought for a moment and decided that the two couldn't do anything he couldn't handle so he nodded and Mayuri turned back to the window to look at Koran and convey some silent message. A few minutes later, he heard paws hitting the floor in the hallway followed by scratching at the door he sat in front of. Hiei stood only to open the door and let the cat in before he closed it again and sat in front of it.

 

Mayuri's smile grew if possible and she opened her arms wide. Koran ran at her and put his large paws on her shoulders as he licked her face with his sandpaper tongue causing Mayuri to laugh. He then got off her and she sat down with him next to her. They stared into each other's eyes, having a telepathic conversation and Hiei felt the urge to listen in but restrained. It wasn't his business.

 

Is everyone alright? Mayuri asked and Koran nodded but no one but Mayuri saw it.

 

Yes. They went to Itugoshi Cave to collect Ana before they returned to the Thief's forest. They healed well and I waited long enough to make sure that Naomi had fully healed before I went on the second task. Koran responded.

 

Good. How did that task do?

 

I was able to find out very little on the activities that your brother did before you saw him again, both when you were little and a few days ago. Whatever he did, he covered his tracks well. All I know is that he traveled over Makai and periodically went to Dankotsu to check up on you. He never went to Ningenkai because he though himself too good for that world. The interesting news was that Reikai has been after your brother for years and had been unsuccessful in finding him though I have no idea why they wanted him.

 

Mayuri nodded and put her hand on his head, scratching him behind his ears in reward. Good. Thank you, Koran. You have been a big help.

 

Koran looked up at her with his large red eyes filled with concern, If I may, Keeper. Why did you ask me to complete this task?

 

Because the detectives would have been insisting they come with and I don't need them breathing on my neck when I try to find information about my brother. That is attention I don't need. Mayuri's reply was basic but Koran could see right through it.

 

We both know that's not what I am talking about. Why are you gathering information on your brother? Koran's response held true interest and concern but Mayuri just shook her head.

 

That you may not ask of me. Not yet. Mayuri turned her head away from the panther who tilted his head in confusion and worry but pushed that back and laid his head on her leg in comfort. Her hand began stroking his head and he closed his eyes, beginning to purr.

 

 

It was hours later before the other three that were sedated to wake up. Kiri groaned loudly before she opened her eyes to see her head rested against someone's chest. She jerked back, startled but felt arms that were wrapped around her tighten and tried to pull free but they held strong and her legs were tangled in something. Looking down, she saw her legs were tangled with someone else's. Then she looked up to see red hair that was semi tangled with the pink hair that grew from her head and perfectly straight features of Kurama.

 

Everyone else heard a scream and then something hit something else. Yukina, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei all rushed to the room the noise came from to see Kiri standing in the middle of the room, breathing heavily and in her hands was a large pan with a dent in it. On the bed laid Kurama in the fetal position, clutching his head and his eyes were swirls.

 

Yusuke was the only one who burst out laughing at the sight. Everyone else looked at Kiri and Yukina asked, “Kiri, what happened?”

 

Kiri looked over at them and saw that her blush deepened to be the same shade of red as her hair. “I don't know. All I remember was Mayuri had the needle of sedative and she disappeared before black consumed me. When I woke again, I was laying in bed with him.”

 

Yukina looked confused, “Mayuri sedated you and you all collapsed on the floor in the living room. Yusuke took you all upstairs to lay you down…” Yukina trailed off and all eyes turned to Yusuke who was on the floor, rolling with laughter. When he noticed that all eyes were on him, he stopped and smiled sheepishly.

 

“What?”

 

 

A few minutes later, all except Mayuri, Kiri and Yusuke were in the living room when Kiri walked in the front door, clapping her hands with a smile on her face, “Now that that's taken care of, what do you guys want to do?”

 

Everyone stared at her and it was Kuwabara who dared ask the question on everyone's mind, “Hey Kiri, where's Urameshi?”

 

Kiri's smile widened and her fangs glittered in the light, “He's thinking about what he's done.”

 

 

Out in the freaking middle of nowhere full of trees

 

Yusuke was hogtied and hanging from a tree by his wrists and ankles. A piece of duct tape was over his mouth so that he couldn't call for help and there were cuts on his bare back and chest, attracting animals by the scent of his blood. He tried to scream for help through the tape but no one heard him.

 

Lucky for him though, two hunters were walking through the forest, looking for some good game. It wasn't long before they came upon Yusuke.

 

“Hey Bill, look. It's another one of those people that are hogtied and tied to the tree,” the first hunter pointed at Yusuke with his gun.

 

“Yeah Bob, I guess you were right,” the second one, Bill, replied. Both hunters looked at Yusuke through squinted eyes. “I wonder how he got up there,” Bill said.

 

“I told you. After I found the first one and cut him down, a girl with red hair and eyes came to my door and asked where the man tied to the tree was. I told her I set him free and she got mad, threatening me with death if I ever freed one of them again,” Bob replied.

 

“Oh, well then, let's go. I don't feel like dying anytime soon,” Bill said and began walking away and disappearing in the forest once again.

 

Bob waited until his buddy was gone before he spoke to Yusuke, “Sorry man but you pissed off the wrong girl.” Bob shrugged, “Well, better you than me. See ya,” then Bob walked off in the same direction Bill had gone.

 

Maybe that wasn't so lucky.

 

Back at Genkai's temple

 

Mayuri was upstairs, asleep before Kiri woke up. She lay on the hard ground with her head lying on Koran's silken fur. Her sleep was not disturbed by Kiri's yelling or Yusuke's screams of fear but the true was she probably wished that they did wake her. Her sleep was not a restful one.

 

Blood curtailing screams filled her ears as she walked down a carpeted hallway. The doorway in front of her was white but there was a bloody hand print marring the white surface. She reached out and shoved the door open to see a bed room. It was rather plain with green walls and carpet and a brown bed. In the far corner was a closet where she heard whimpers. She ignored the room and headed straight for the closet, throwing it open to reveal two small children covered in blood being held tightly by their mother who was marred with cuts and gashes. She quickly deduced that the blood on the children was not their own but their mother's.

 

“Please! Just leave us alone! I beg you! Don't kill us!” the woman screamed and tears rolled from her eyes like her children's. The children were silent and she realized that the whimpers came from their mother. The children understood Death was upon them and accepted it. Their mother still believed they would live but that hope was quickly dimming.

 

Mayuri wanted to turn away and get out of there but she couldn't move her body. The only thing that moved where her lips that stretched upwards in a smile and Mayuri felt sick. Why was she smiling? This family was about to get butchered and she was smiling? Something must be wrong with her.

 

Her right hand lifted in the air and Mayuri first realized the blade she held in her hand that was covered in blood and her mouth opened but the words that came out were not her own. “You had the chance to live. And now… now you die.” Mayuri's mind raced as she heard that voice. It was so familiar but she just could seem to remember who it belonged to.

 

“Please. I beg you. Please spare our lives, Ani,” the woman had stopped shouting and settled for whispering.

 

“Let me think about it…no,” then Mayuri's hand shot forward and the blade met little resistance against her flesh as it pierced it and her heart. Then Mayuri drew back and gave two more quick jabs before she stopped and stepped back. She looked at her works and felt the contents of her stomach rise to her throat. The woman laid sprawled on the laps of her children with her white nightgown covered in her red blood that seeped through the hole in her chest. Her first child, a little girl, looked at Mayuri with faded purple eyes. There was a large gash across her throat that leaked blood onto her purple frilly nightgown. The woman's other child, a boy, was facing his sister, staring at her with purple eyes that held some life but it was fading fast. He turned his head to look at Mayuri as he removed his hand from his mother's shoulder to clutch the middle of his chest where a large wound was located and his mouth opened to say something but the only thing that cam out was a bubble of blood. Then the last bit of life left his eyes.

 

The whole thing went black and Mayuri's mind went on overload. `Where have I heard that voice before?' Mayuri clutched her head as she thought and then suddenly she remembered the name the woman had said, “Ani?”

 

A laugh was heard echoing through the darkness and his voice followed, a smirk in his voice that made a shiver run down her spine, “Are you ready to accept what we are and what we can do yet, little sister?”

 

Mayuri's scream ricocheted throughout the darkness and even to the living world as she opened her eyes to see herself in a dark room with concerned ruby eyes staring at her and she heard many footsteps approaching from what she assumed was the hallway. She stared and the ceiling and realized that she was still screaming. Shutting her mouth firmly she looked up and thought about what just happened, `Was it all just a dream? Is that all it was? It felt so real.'

 

`Call it whatever you wish, little sister.' Ani's voice whispered in her head and Mayuri gasped, her hands clasping over her mouth in shock. At her response, Ani snickered.

 

`Oh shit!' Mayuri screamed mentally.

 

`Oh shit is right, little sister.'
