Hotaru: This is the sequel to Colorful Sound. So you should probably read that before reading this. But you're welcome to read this without reading that. It's your decision.
I was walking in the woods by myself. I knew everyone was slowly learning my name. Everyone in the demon world that is. They were all learning to fear the name of Reimei. It was a name that brought fear to those who knew they needed to be afraid. But I only wanted to do one thing, and that was get to the human world.
I skulked in the woods silently. My long orange fiery hair was in a bun, held up with jade and gold hair sticks. Something I had stolen a while back. I had piercing color changing eyes. But in such times as this when I was calm, they were a deep shade of blue. My pale flawless skin covered my 5 foot body. I wore clothes that were moveable and looked like they came from feudal times.
I had finally found what, or rather who I was looking for. An low level demon with an ability to open portals to the human world. He basically was a black market. But I didn't plan on trading with him, I planned on forcing him to open a portal for me.
I walked out and he froze up. He looked at me nervously.
"Oh… hello Miss. Reimei." He said trying to smile.
"Open me a portal to the human world… and I won't kill you." I said with a smirk.
He looked nervous but then nodded quickly. He turned and opened the portal. He then stood back.
"He-here you are… Miss." He said hoping not to get killed.
I smirked and walked to the portal. "Thanks love."
I then went through the portal. I wasn't interested in killing him. Especially if I somehow I got sent back to the demon world and needed a portal back.
I arrived in the woods. I wasn't quite sure where I was. But I knew I was in the human world. It smelt and felt like it. A lot less tense than the demon world. So I started walking. I hoped to find a demon I knew here. I was already tracking them.
I finally found my destination. And my demon friend was waiting for me. He had been in hiding for months now.
"Come on, get inside quickly." Tomo said quickly.
I went inside quickly. I looked around the human styled house. It even smelt like human which was gross. But I wouldn't complain.
"I need clothes and money." I said getting straight to the point.
He looked at me and nodded some. "I can give you a place to stay as well."
I blinked and looked at him curiously. But I shook my head. I didn't completely trust him.
"I'll find a place on my own. Just give me money and clothes." I stated simply.
He nodded some. He lead the way into another room. And then there was clothes and such that looked like it belonged to a girl.
"Here you are, take what you want. I'll give you a key so you can get stuff if you want it… and I'll give you a credit card." He stated and pointed to the closet and stuff sitting out.
I nodded some. "I won't take long."
I grabbed a backpack from in the closet. I filled it with my few weapons and clothes. I also put the wallet and my current clothes inside. Since I changed to look like a normal human. I nodded and was happy enough with it.
"I'm leaving bye!" I called out as I left the house once again.
I didn't want to stick around there. So I went on a walk. I needed a couple things. A job, whether a real one or something I could steal. A place to stay. And food.
I walked around my new environment trying to get the feel of it. I was getting more used to being around humans and their culture. I had been studying about them in the human world. I then found the best place I think I had ever seen.
It was a large store, filled with food. I had heard about it before. A fast food restaurant or something like that. It smelt good. It smelt like chicken and fish. And said, KFC on the outside. I didn't know what that meant, but I went inside.
It smelt even better inside. I loved it here. I looked around and noticed a type of menu on the wall above some counters. I started reading it.
I finally decided and walked to the counter where a person waited for me to tell them what I wanted. And I told them, and they typed it up, and I gave them the credit card, and they gave it back to me with a slip of paper. I then stood off to the side and waited.
I found it all a bit strange. But then my food came and I took it and sat down at an empty table next to a window. I then started eating. It was surprisingly very good. I also got something called ice cream. And I think, it was the best thing I had ever eaten.
I finished and left the place. And went walking again. I didn't know what to do now. I needed to find an inn of some sort. But I wasn't sure where I would find one.
But before that, I stopped at a large building. It said school on it. I knew it was a place of learning. And that all human children had to go there. But that isn't what stopped me in front of it. I felt multiple strong spirit energies inside.
I carefully made my way around the building and hid in the brush. I didn't get too close to it and just watched. Wondering if it were demons inside the school, or something else.
But before I could figure it out, I had a sword to my throat. I tensed some, but stayed relatively calm. I knew panicking would kill everything. Especially since the demon energy behind me was strong enough to give me problems.
"Who are you and what're you doing here?" The male voice said coldly.
For some reason something in me spiked. Like I knew the voice from somewhere. But I tried to stay as calm as possible.
"Rei…. And I felt strong spirit energy. I was curious. No harm intended." I said simply.
The demon behind me tightened his grip on me. He grabbed the back of my neck and pulled back violently. I yelped involuntarily. He tightened the grip.
"Baka… if you're lying to me th-" I cut him off.
"I'm not dumb enough to lie in such a position where I can easily be killed." I stated.
The demon didn't say or do anything for a minute or so but then opened a portal. That did not make me happy. But I had no choice but to go through it with him.
We arrived in some type of office. I was nervous. I knew where we were. This demon had to be one of the spirit detectives. He helped some humans on missions assignments given to them by Koenma. I knew Koenma would know me instantly. Since he's probably gotten tons of reports about me.
I was walked into another room. With a big desk, and behind it, sat a baby. But I knew it was Koenma. Which made me nervous. I didn't want to get sent back after all this.
"Koenma, I found this demon sneaking around outside of the Yusuke's school." The male demon told the baby.
The infant looking spirit world prince looked at me. I didn't look at him looking pretty pissed. It didn't take long for him to figure out who I was.
"You're Reimei aren't you? I've been getting hundreds of reports about you. You steal, kill, and break out of prisons." He stated more than asked.
"Yep… that's me. Bad and beautiful." I said with pride.
It was silent for a moment or so. Which made me rather nervous. But then I heard something I didn't expect.
"I should lock you up for a long time… but… we lost one of the team members-" he stopped.
I almost felt the hateful glare coming from the demon behind me sent at Koenma. I didn't quite know what was going on, but obviously the demon did not seem to like it.
"By any means… we need a new member. And I'll make a deal with you. You join their team, and you don't go to prison." He stated.
"Deal." I said with absolutely no hesitation.
Koenma blinked seeming very surprised. He didn't seem to have expected me to accept the offer so quickly.
"Any chance there's a place to stay included… and telling demon boy here to let go of me?" I asked simply.
"Hiei… let her go. And you can stay with Hiei." Koenma stated.
I felt another very awful hate glare come from the demon. He was really touchy about this. Or maybe he just hated Koenma. Who knew. But he didn't seem to have the choice to say no. Koenma said we'd have to wait for the rest of the team to show up. So we just sat, and started to wait.
