Hello! So, I am having some severe writers block with my other stories and I took the advice from a dear friend to work on something else until I got inspiration for my other stories. Soooo, this was created.

I will warn you now, it is a tad bit confusing as the chpeter progresses. A lot of mystery and some what the hell moments. Yes, I have it like that for a reason... this is just the introductory chapter. A trail run per se... to see if i can actually write this. I hope you all enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.


They say that it's supposed to be easy. That life was supposed to be all sunshine and rainbows. You walk down the street and see unicorns with shiny, glittery horns. Death is an illusion and war doesn't exist. Countries aren't plagued with famine and sickness. Every day the sun rises and drifts across the sky as our world turns. The sky grows dark as the part of our world goes away from the sun, and the moon is now visible. Once the earth rotates again, we have the sun rising once more to greet our perfect day.

However, in some cases. This is not how days go. It doesn't matter whether the sun or the moon is in that sky. The world is not perfect, it is not full of happiness and bliss. Instead of unicorns walking the streets, there are monsters. Monsters that would make a perfectly sane, grown man piss his pants and be admitted to psych. Monsters that children fear and cry cause they are hiding under their beds and in their closets.

These monsters exist. The ones that have multiple arms or legs, they have razor sharp teeth and several eyes all over their body. Some are as tall as a building and as wide as a mountain. Some are so tiny you can't even see them, but they are there. Then there's the ones that look like everyone else, they blend in and hide with those around them.

Those are the most dangerous. The most lethal. They are the ones that are the strongest of the monsters. They are the ones that go bump in the night and we are scared to bump back. However, we have some that happily bump back. Silent protectors that help guard us front he harsh realities that are all around us.

These are the ones that go and face these monsters head on. They are fearless, headstrong and we look to them as our heroes. It is sad that we pass them on the street or at a grocery store, but we have no idea what they've done for us. If one person knew. If just one person knew what they did for us.

Wouldn't that just make it all better?

Sighing, Kira rested her fingers on her keyboard and stared down at her laptop screen. She quickly re-read the words she just written and bit her lip as she went back to touch up a few mistakes. Lifting her hand she took the glasses that rested on the bridged of her nose off and placed them next to her laptop as she sat back and rubbed her eyes. Glancing at the time on her clock, another sigh escaped her lips. It was after midnight, almost 1:00am. She needed to get some sleep. She had a big test tomorrow and she didn't want to fail. However, as the exact time hit her, Kira jumped up from her chair and raced to grab her black jacket and a bag that was siting by her front door.

She didn't even lock her house as she hurriedly ran out the door and down the darkened street. She was going to be late! How could she be late? Not to this anyhow, she couldn't be late. By the time she made it to her destination, she was out of breath and had to bend at the waist to catch her breath. She leaned against the cold of the metal building she was next to and took in a long and slow calming breath to get her bearings.

Once settled she made sure her bag was secure before she walked around the building towards the fire escape. Grabbing hold of the first rung, she started to climb the latter towards the top of the building. Well it was actually a boat house and she really needed to be quieter. Once on-top she tiptoed her way towards the edge and got comfortable, pulling her bag off her back she dug around until she found out what she was looking for. She smiled down at her camera and quickly got to work with setting it to night vision and making sure when she snapped no sound was made. She bent over the side of the building and paced a small black device before putting in some headphones. She peaked around the edge of the building and looked down at the ground. She was partially hidden by a rather large column and was in the dark, so no ones could see her even though there were poles lights lighting the area. Checking her watch she sighed. 1:58. Any moment now… any moment. Once the numbers on her watch clicked to exactly 2:00AM, she smiled when voices reached her ears.

Scooting around a bit she lifted her camera and focused it to look down at the figures below. A frown dipped her lips at seeing only three, not four men. Where was the other? He was supped to be… her smile widened further when the missing man appeared next to the others.

"So what's going on Yusuke?"

Thanks to the listening devices she placed around the area she could hear them perfectly. She looked at the one that spoke. He was the tallest one of the group, way over 6 foot and that mop of orange hair wasn't easy to miss. The big guy had his hands in his blue coat pocket as he cautiously looked around the area.

Yusuke, the one that the orange haired guy spoke to sighed and rubbed his face. "Botan was supposed to meet us here. I don't know what's happening." Kira felt herself smile at hearing his voice. She zoomed in closer to see him better. He was shorter than his taller friend, but they he carried himself spoke so much. His black hair was slicked back and his beautiful chocolate brown eyes were sharp as he too surveyed the surroundings. He gave up standing and sat down on some crates nearby. "If she'll ever get here."

A chuckle had her moving to look at the other taller gentlemen of the group. She swallowed when she landed on his gorgeous features. Long red hair, and breathtaking green eyes. This man, was every womans wet dream. A long and lethal looking body, hidden under layers of clothes. The silky sweet voice that just wrapped around you. Kira felt her blood pressure rise just staring at him.

"She'll be here Yusuke. Have patience." Yusuke rolled his eyes at his friends words and yawned.

"She needs to hurry, I have better things to do right now, like sleeping for instance." Yusuke muttered as he rested his back on some crates and closed his eyes.

"I agree with the detective. That idiotic fairy woman needs to hurry up."

Kira moved to the last person. His back was to her, but she knew what he looked like without having to see him. Those ruby red eyes of his were mesmerizing, but so deadly. He was the shortest one of the group but he also seemed like the deadliest. She watched as he shifted slightly, his long black cloak blowing somewhat in the breeze. She sighed as she watched his hair move, how did it stand up like that?

She zoomed out with her camera and focused on all four of the men. Her finger moved towards the button on her camera and she clicked it. The shutter clicked as the photo was taken. Her breathing stopped however when the shortest man suddenly jerked his head back and up towards where she was hiding. His ruby red eyes landed on where she was and she gasped when his lips curled back into a snarl. She had a split second to duck down and close her eyes and weave her hands in a series of motions before suddenly he was standing in front of her on the ledge.

Her breath caught in her lungs as she stared up at him like a dear in the headlights. She didn't dare move an inch as his eyes scanned the area. For a split second his eyes met hers and she wanted to scream, but she kept herself perfectly still and quiet.

"Yo! Hiei! What's up man?" Yusuke hollered from down below. Kira watched Hiei take in a deep breath before he tsked under his breath and turned away to rejoin the men below.

"I heard something up there. Whatever it was… there's no trace of it." Hiei gave the simple answer the men as Kira peaked back over the ledge. She let out he breath she holding and thanked her lucky stars. He didn't see her.. he didn't see her. Not wanting to chance fate anymore, she moved to pack her stuff up. Kira was throwing her bag over her shoulder when suddenly a loud whooshing sound her her pausing and looking back over the building. Her eyes widened at the sight before her.

A swirling mass of colors was going on below, a woman with blue hair stepped out of the swirling colors. She smiled at the boys and opened her mouth to say something, Kira coulnd't understand what she said though. The whooshing of the swirling vortex was interfering with her equipment. Whatever was being said, she would have to try and make it out later. She reached over to grab the black device from earlier, the tips of her fingers showing slightly as she grasped it and stuffed it in her pocket.

Kira wasted no time in hauling her booty off that roof and back down to the ground. She took off at a dead run back towards her house and away from the warehouse that lined the docks. If she would have turned around. She would have seen a pair of chocolate brown eyes watching her as she ran away back towards the city.

…...

A yawn escaped the purple haired girl as she sluggishly made her way to her homeroom. She knew she should have went to bed and got some sleep. Instead she stayed out and almost got caught whilst trying to indulge in her nightly fantasy routine.

"You look like hell Kira… did you stay up all night writing again?" Kira lifted her tired blue eyes to look at her only friend in this miserable school.

"Sleep is for babies, I'm fine and no, I did not stay up writing again Keiko." She said as she graciously accepted the steamy cup of coffee her friend handed her. Keiko just gave her a look of pity and started walking next to her as they traveled down the length of the hallways that made up the school. Or well college. Kira was a Junior in college, right along with Keiko. She met the brunette her last year of High School of have been friends with her since.

"I'll remember to quote that you once you fail your final exam." Keiko said as they took their seats. Kira waved her off and sipped her coffee like it was a life giving sustenance. She looked around the giant classroom and and sunk into her chair as their professor came into the room. She blinked as a packet way to thick was placed in front of her.

Kira lost the battle to stay awake and laid her head down halfway through the two hour time period they had to take their exam. She was to tired to even focus on the questions. Her eyes slipped closed and she drifted off into a much needed nap. The previous nights events played in her dreams. Swirling colors of red, black, blue and green. She was sure, her new favorite color was green…

A sharp pain exploded in the back of her head, making her jerk up quickly and look around. Her professor looked up at her from his desk and she blinked before looking down to find an eraser sitting on her desk. She felt someone hit her with something else and looked over her shoulder at Keiko who tapped her wrist. Kira blinked before checking the time. Holy crap! They only had 20 min left to finish the exam and she was only halfway through. She rubbed her eyes as she tried her best to make the words on the page stay in their order and not shift around on the page. Damn it….

Furiously, the started writing down answers as her eyes flew across the pages of her packet. She wrote down the last answer just as the buzzer sounded in the room for them to put their pencils down. Kira groaned as she slumped backwards. She so failed…

"You didn't fail." Keiko told her as they sat outside in the quad. Kira picked at her lunch as she yawned again. Keiko was drawn away before she could respond. As she watched her only friend be taken away by the student council she pulled her headphones out and her laptop. A few key strokes and touch ups and Kira was listening to the recording she got last night. There was still to much interference for her to make out what was being said.

The only thing she could hear were just broken sentences. She tuned the audio some more and frowned at her screen as she was finally able to hear some of the words.

"Spirit world…. Demon….new enemy." Blue haired girl

"She's the key…saving…can't die." Red head

"Find her…we can't…location." Kuwabara

"Myths? Sea god…not real…koenma…stupid…not chasing…phantom." Yusuke

"Waste… time…she…exist." Hiei

Kira blinked. What the hell did that all mean? Each sentence was spoken in a hushed and broken words, like a secret language. She tried adjusting the background noise to be less of a distraction but the sudden jostle of the table had her jumping and looking up in shock.

"You okay?" Kira took her headphones out and closed her laptop as she nodded at Keiko. "Come on, the results have been posted!" The brunette said as she pulled Kira up from her seat and towards the school. Kira stayed back as Keiko made her way through the crowd to look at the board. Her fingers tapped against her bag as she waited patiently.

"Kira! Omg! I passed!" Keiko yelled excitedly. "Come here!" Keiko's hand wrapped around her wrist and she was jerked forward to look at the board. "So did you! You placed 13th!"

What? Kira looked the board over and blinked owlishly at her name. Sure enough, there it was. Next to the number 13. Unlucky number. Her eyes went down a few notches and she sighed. Barely passed. There was a solid red line under the number 15. She barely passed this exam. Anyone under that line failed.

"We should go and celebrate! Yes! We are going out tonight!" Kira just smiled at the overly excited brunette and just let her drag her out of the school, since they passed their exam they were free to leave, and down the road. Keiko talked the entire time about what they should do. The words invite her friends and Kira meet her friends had Kira pausing.

"Meet your friends? You mean the ones you always talk about? The ones you've known since middle school?" Keiko nodded excitedly as she skipped down the stairs of the train station. From the path they took, Keiko was leading them to her house.

"I know you'll love them, and they'll love you!" Kira grabbed the handle above her as the train lurched forward. "I've told them about you. I know Botan and Yukina are excited to meet you. So is Kuwabara and Shuichi." The name Kuwabara had Kira tensing slightly. She has hard Keiko mention her friends name several times over the years. That name though had her picturing the orange haired hero she has been following for months. From how she described him, Kira knew they weren't the same man. "Yusuke will probably act like he doesn't care but… you'll just have to ignore him."

Yusuke… Kira sighed. She googled the name and found more then 300 in the city. The names were just a coincidence. They were not the same men.

Keiko's house was empty when they got there. Her parents had went out for the night. Even though Keiko was 22, she still stayed home with her mom and dad. Mainly to help out and help run their ramen restaurant when her parents weren't feeling very well. Kira helped out in her free time as well.

"So I was thinking about going to that club over on 8th street." Kira looked up from where she was sitting on Keiko's bed. She raised an eyebrow at her friend as Keiko pillaged her closet. A club? That wasn't a scene Keiko would ever be caught in. So why would she wanna go? "I feel like doing something new. Ya know? We just passed out end exam and we need to celebrate! How would this look?" Keiko held up a black and white dress. Kira felt her eyebrows raise higher as her friend stripped and pulled it on.

"Wow." Kira chuckled as her looked Keiko over. The dress went to her knees and hugged her waist and hips. The straps crisscrossed over her back and chest. "It looks good. You'll be making all the kiddies drool." Keiko smiled and took the dress back off and pulled on some comfortable clothes.

"Alright! You have shoes that would match this yes?" At Kiras nod, Keiko beamed and grabbed a couple more things. "Good! Now let's go to your house! So we can get ready, I know you have better beauty products than me."

One again, Kira was dragged out of door by Keiko. What was with her? It was only 2:13 and Keiko was way to hyper for Kira. Also, she was acting strange. Since when did Keiko ever go clubbing? Or wear tight dresses?

"Keiko? Is everything okay… you're acting…different." Kira prodded lightly as the stepped off the train once more. Keiko's face fell for a moment but that same smile lit up her face once more. Okay then.

Kira looked up at her house and frowned. Why did she still live here? It was her mothers house before she died when Kira was 8. The deed was in Kira's name and once she turned 18, it was hers as well as the money her mom left her.

The house itself was far to large. For Japanese standards, it was more modern and western style than the traditional houses here in Japan. Her mom was American though, so it made sense that she'd build a house like those back home. Kira opened the gate and walked up the gravel path to her door. Once inside she let Keiko lose. As the brunette instantly made a beeline for her shower, Kira went to her computer desk and sat down. She rubbed her eyes and fished her contacts case out of her drawer to remove them. Picking her glasses up, she slipped them on her face and sighed. She hated wearing contacts. They always made her eyes sting.

Booting up her stuff she tapped her fingers to invisible music. She pulled her camera out and took the SD card out of it and plugged it up to her outlet. Her shortcuts folder popped up on her screen and Kira clicked on it to open the images from the card. There was a lot of photo's on here. She scrolled through them all until she came to last nights. Double clicking on the group one she took, she enlarged it and looked at the boys closely.

She studied each of their faces, memorizing every detail. She opened her word document and let her fingers dance across the keyboard as she typed. Time slipped away as she worked. When she wrote, time didn't exist. It wasn't until she felt someone hovering over her shoulder she finally stopped and looked back to see Keiko, dressed and ready. Her friends eyes scanned the document she was working on before Kira quickly closed it.

Brown met her blue and Keiko gave her tight smile. Clearing her throat, Keiko shifted on her feet as she awkwardly looked away from Kira. "It's 5:47. I told them we would meet them at 6:30." Kira's eyes widened as she looked at the time. Well crud. She closed her computer down and walked towards her room upstairs.

She took a quick, record breaking shower. She paused in her shower and frowned down at her long soaking purple hair. Blowing out a breath she pulled a towel off the rack and wrapped it around her body. She didn't have time to dry it with a blow dryer so… water splashed in the shower and a moment later she stepped out to go to her room.

Kira was in her closet pulling out some clothes when Keiko wondered into her room. "Wow, you showered and didn't event et your hair wet? Nice." Kira looked back at her before her hand ran through her dry hair. "You still must teach me your secrets."

"One day." Kira mumbled as she pulled on some jeans and a a black tank top the fell a little passed her hips. She tossed Keiko some black flats as she slipped her black ankle boots on. She didn't put make-up on as she slipped a necklace over her neck and a black bracelet on her right wrist.

"I didn't know you had a tattoo." Kira stopped brushing her hair to look at Keiko in her mirror. She turned her head and looked at her right shoulder blade. A trident tattoo was engraved there on her skin. "That's a trident right?" Kira nodded as she let her hair fall down her back.

"Yeah, I got it when I was 16. I was into the whole mythological crap back then." She explained as she grabbed her clutch purse. "Now if we are gonna make it in time, we need to go." Keiko nodded and together they left Kira's house and hauled a cab down. Her foot tapped the whole trip there. Why was she so nervous?

It was probably because Kira wasn't good...at making friends. When she befriended Keiko… that was a miracle. She felt Keiko take her hand and smiled at the brunette in thanks. Keiko knew… she knew her secret. When the cab pulled up, Keiko paid him and all but pulled Kira out of the car.

"Crap, we're late.." Indeed they were. It was 6:48. They showed the bouncer their ID's and were let inside. From the long line that was by the door, Kira half wondered why they got in so fast. Then again, Keiko usually got what she wanted. "Alright, they said they were in the back towards the…"

Kira did her best to stay close to Keiko, but the loud music and pulsing lights made it hard to focus. She felt Keiko grip her hand and pull her towards the stairs. The second floor wasn't so bad and there wasn't as many dancing bodies. She looked around the place, it was pretty darn fancy for a club. The lower level was obviously the more rowdy part of the club.

The second floor was more mellow and even had servers bringing food to patrons. She could feel the pulse of the music from below under her feet. Keiko continued to pull her towards a destination. How much further before..

"Keiko!"

A loud voice had Kira jerking to a stop as blue flashed in her vision and someone tackled Keiko in a hug. "Omg Botan!" Keiko hugged the blue haired woman back and smiled as she pulled away. "Man, you look different. OH! I want to introduce you to someone. Botan, this is Kira. Kira, this is Botan."

Kira had a smile on her face, but it dipped and fell when the blue haired woman turned to face her. She was sure all the blood had drained from her face as she stared at the very familiar face that she had seen several times. Same blue hair and pink eyes.

"Hello, it's nice to finally met you! Keiko has told us a lot about you. Oh, your hair is so pretty!" Kira had to force herself to breath as she put a smile on her face took the womans outstretched hand.

"It's nice to meet you too."

Oh my gosh, no it wasn't! Kira wanted to turn away right there and run. Run far far away. Before… before…

"Oh come on Keiko! We're here to!"

That voice… that gravely deep voice… Kira turned and looked to where it came from as Keiko shot forward to hug the larger man that stood up from a table. Orange hair… she felt her body go rigid when the big guy moved to show the rest of the occupants that sat around the little table and lounge area.

This was so not happening.

"Kira! Come meet my fiends!" Keiko called as she waved her over. Kira stayed where she was as she looked away from Keiko to other men. Red hair and green eyes… red eyes… and then… her eyes connected with the chocolate brown eyes of the one person she would never forget. The same eyes that she had been following since she first seen the man fight all those months ago. The eyes of the one and only Yusuke.

"Holy shit."

...

"So what are you majoring in?"

Kira looked up from her glass to look across the table into calculating green eyes. Kurama, no Shuichi, was staring at her so she knew the question was directed to her.

"Uh… journalism… and photography." She answered as she took a drink of her cosmo.

After her mini freak out earlier, it took all of her mental wares to not bolt and never come back. But then, she'd have to explain that she was a stalker and all this other stuff, when she wasn't actually a stalker. She had her reasons for what she did…

Keiko had introduced her to each member of the little group and then plopped her down right…next…to…Yusuke. The black haired man was sitting slouched in his seat next to her, he had a beer in one hand as his other was thrown over the back of the seat. Next to him was Keiko and Kuwabara, then Botan, Kurama and finally Hiei. On Kira's other side was the mint-haired woman they introduced as Yukina.

Currently however, it was just Kira, Yusuke, Yukina, Kurama and Hiei at their little lounge area. Keiko, Botan and Kuwabara were off dancing. Kira's leg was bouncing away as she finished off her cosmo and ordered another one.

"Journalism? What prompted that area of business?" From his tone, Kira knew Shuichi was asking out pure curiosity.

"I love writing. It's calming, helps put the mind at rest." She supplied as the waitress brought her another drink. It was her third one and she really needed to slow down, her nerves however were to frazzled.

"And the Photography?"

What was with the 20 questions? She opened her mouth to respond but Keiko chose that time to come up behind her and drape her body over Kira's. "Come dance Kira! We are here to celebrate not sit on our butts all night!" Kira's leg sopped bouncing as she sat her drink down and turned so she could look back at Keiko. Her back was facing Yusuke so she missed how his eyebrows raised when he caught site of her tattoo.

"Your drunk Keiko. That's very un-keiko like… maybe you should sit and hydrate." Kira said as she took Keiko's hands and made her come around the seats and sit down.

"No! No sitting… come dance with me." Keiko said as she moved to basically straddle Kira's lap. Kira blinked at Keiko and pushed her back into the cushion behind her to put as much distance between her an Keiko as possible. "Please Kira…please come dance with me…" Keiko begged as she tugged on Kira's hands.

The purple haired woman was to busy staring at her only friend like she lost her mind, to notice the looks being cast around the table. She failed to notice the way Yusuke was tensing next to her as Keiko continued to plead with Kira to dance.

"Keiko, get off her. She doesn't want to go dance." Kira looked over at Yusuke, but he was staring at Keiko with a very hard look in his eyes. Keiko's face scrunched up as she turned to look at Yusuke.

"You, don't get to tell me what to do anymore. We, are not together. Haven't been for months You are not my boyfriend anymore, so back off. I can do whatever the hell I wanna do!" Keiko said as she turned towards Kira and grasped her face in her hands. Kira had a split second to register what was going on before lips sealed over her own.

Her body froze as her eyes widened like saucers. She stayed perfectly still, even when Keiko finally got off her and stumbled back towards Botan and Kuwabara. What the hell just happened? She ignore the stares se was getting as she suddenly leaned forward and grabbed a shot of Tequila and downed it.

"Ohhhh, that did not just happen…" she groaned as she covered her face with her hand. Her leg started to bounce again as sat back in her seat.

"Soooo, ya'll are dating?" Kira cut her eyes over to Yusuke. His chocolate brown eyes had lost their warmth as he regarded her cooly.

"What? Omg no! I'm not… I don't like women… I prefer men thank you very much." She snapped off as she looked towards the dance floor where Keiko was currently dancing. "It makes sense though, her behavior that is. The past few months she has been… different. I understand now though, her change." Kira said as she mainly spoke to herself. "The spiraling behavior of hers, it's how shes coping with losing the man she loved. Very dangerously though… it's getting out of control." She muttered as her eyes narrowed when a guy came up and grabbed Keiko around the waist.

She sighed as she stood up and walked towards the man, his hands were all over the girl and Kuwabara and Botan haven't noticed that the guy was slowly pulling Keiko away from them. Her hand latched onto the man's wrist, she stretched on her tiptoes and placed her mouth next to his ear. She whispered a few words to him and leaned back enough for the man to look in her eyes. After a short staring contest, the guy let go of Keiko and walked away.

"Oh Kira! You're here! Let's dance…." Keiko exclaimed as she tugged on Kira. Kira's blue eyes looked away from the man and to Keiko, she smiled and nodded.

"One second okay. I need to go to the bathroom. Go back to the table with the others." She said as she pushed her away. Kira made sure she was back next to Yukina before she walked off towards the direction the guy went earlier. She made her towards the bathroom, like she said she was. She rounded the corner into the empty corridor and felt something wrap around her arm as she was jerked to the side. The air left her lungs as she was slammed into the wall. Her eyes opened to glare at the man from before.

"Your awfully brave… showing yourself here." Kira said as she watched the guy smirk at her. The hand around her throat shifted and her eyes were drawn to how the skin turned gray and stretched out over muscle. Razor sharp teeth met her vision as she looked at its face. "Gargoyle." She smacked her lips and smirked before raising her leg and digging it into the guys stomach.

She flicked her wrist as the bracelet she wore morphed into a celestial bronze dagger. Moved to the side of its hand and brought her dagger up, cutting the guys arm off. She cursed when she didn't move fast enough and the gargoyles claws cut her arm. She flipped her dagger up and caught it above her head as she brought her hand down and dove it into his skull. The gargoyle exploded into gold dust that was blown away by a invisible wind. Laughter sounded from around the corner and Kira flicked the dagger as it tuned back into a bracelet again on her wrist. Some girls passed her on their way to the bathroom.

Sighing she looked at her bleeding arm and walked into the bathroom to clean it. She pulled a roll of bandage out of her clutch and wrapped them around her arm. Once done she dusted herself off and made her way out and back through the crowd to where Keiko and her friends were waiting. Kira noticed that two members were missing but didn't say anything as she leaned over the seat and tapped on Keiko's shoulder. The brunette had her head on Yukina's shoulder and looked to be dozing off. She checked the time and sighed. It was literally only 10:17. How the heck did time pass so quickly?

"Heeyyyyy Kira…. You ready to dance."

"Maybe next time.. I'm actually gonna head home. You want me to take you home first?" Keiko blinked at her and frowned.

"Kira, why are you bleeding?" The question drew the attention of the occupants around them and Kira looked down at her arm. Sure enough, fresh blood had seeped through the bandage and tricked down her arm.

"Oh um… I cut it in the bathroom. One of the stalls had a nail lose and I nicked my arm on it." She covered as Keiko studied her for moment.

"You know, now that I think about it… you always get odd wounds on you. I swear every-time I see you, you have a new injury… a new cut or bruise." Keiko laughed as Kira blinked at her. "If I didn't know you, I'd say you were doing secret stuff you don't want anyone to know….but I know you and you can't do secret…."

Kira let out a shaky laugh and shook her head as she looked down for moment. "Well, at-least now I know you're not completely impaired right now." She said as she looked at the two remaining men at the table. "Ima leave her half impaired self in yalls hands then…" she said as she stood up straight to leave.

"We'll get her home." Kuwabara said as he nodded at Kira Kurama smiled at her and inclined his head at her. Kira let out a small noise and tuned away. She needed to get out…get away…

"Well, it was once meeting you all… maybe one day…" She didn't finish her sentence as she just nodded and turned away to hurriedly walk away from the eyes that boring into her.

Kira got outside the club and took in a deep breath. She braced her hand against the cool brick wall and steadied her breathing. She started walking away from the entrance and into one of the alley ways to where she took of running. She pulled her hair up into the ponytail as she ran.

Standing on top of a building behind her, chocolate brown and ruby red watched her departure.

"Well…. Looks like we found her after all."


Okay! Don't hit the back button! I know it was confusing and blah.. Keiko is not in character but I have a reason for that! She is acting this ways for a reason, reasons that will be revealed later! So don't hit the BACK BUTTON!

I WANNA hear everyone's thoughts on this. If you read this chapter, let me know what you think. If I should go with it, or scrap it.

Please, I am begging here... I need inspiration...
