''Being here is a complete waste of our time,' Hiei thought to himself in utter annoyance. Keonma had informed the group of this supposed high level demon that is currently living in the human world, but all the group has seen from this 'blood thirsty demon' is a normal human girl that never fought anyone but rather was protected by human males. The only thing odd about her is that Hiei is unable to read her mind, but that doesn't make her a powerful demon.
"Maybe we should just go up and confront her," Yusuka suggest ready to hop out of their vantage point of the school building.
"No if she truly is a high level demon in hiding she wouldn't just blow that," Kurama reasons seeming just as frustrated as the rest of the group.
"Well Kuwabara says that he knows her. Hell they go to school together and if she gets along with Kuwabara she can't be all that smart." Hiei scoffs in agreement with the detective.
"Not necessarily, " Kurama objects. Yusuke looks at Kurama as if he was off his rocket while Hiei pretends to ignore him. "Our group is well known throughout all three realms, by picking this school and befriending Kuwabara she could have been trying to ensure her well being." Hiei wouldn't admit it out loud but it would make sense. When Kuwabara leaves for any extended time it would mean something was wrong and depending on her powers she could have further insight. If they truly are working with a demon not only was she intelligent, and powerful, she has full mastery over her powers. This could be a very dangerous foe. Hiei smirks becoming excited for the first time.
"Kawakawa would you mind walking home with me today? I know it sounds weird and this a lot to ask of you but I feel as if I've been followed the past week and with all those killings going on it really worries me."
"Of course Blom," Kuwabawa answers with a large grin.
"Hey Kuwabara," Yusuke shouts approaching the two friends with the others following close behind.
"Guys, what are you doing here?" Kuwabara shouts as he rushes over to his old friends.
"Came to get you," Yusuke responds as he pulls Kuwabara into a choke hold. Suki Blom approaches the group with some hesitation.
Suki has a natural gift of being able to sense peoples' true personality and intentions and while most of the group seemed dangerous with a strong under lining of commission and kindness one of the members simply felt evil and cruel. The feeling came from the man with bizarre, gravity defying black hair and while Suki wasn't one to judge based on appearances his aura on the other hand was scary and deadly on it's own.
"Blom, what's wrong?" Kuwabara asks with great concern.
"Its just a feeling," she mumbles pushing her warnings aside and approaching the group with a smile."I'm Suki Blom, a friend of Kuwabara's from school. You all must be his friends that he's always talking about, it's nice to meet you."
"Nothing good I'm sure," Yusuke mumbles as he punches Kuwabara in retaliation for the certain bad things he's told the girl. Suki chuckles but shakes her head.
"He has told me a lot of good as well. He told me all about your adventures and times together." The group blanches, with the exception of Hiei who refused to show his shock and Kuwabara who knew of all of this before hand.
"Yeah, Suki is a physic just like me. She had died and was revived after almost two minutes of death and has seen demons ever sense!"
"At first I thought I was going insane but that's when I found Kuroko Sanada and she taught me how to control and use my psychic powers. She says that I have an odd ability at being good at convincing people of stuff though and powerful mental powers so if that ever slips out I apologize now, I haven't learned complete control yet." The group just some what stares at her. Not even two minutes in of meeting her and she just admits everything, case closed no problems unless her story doesn't check out.
"I'm sorry Kuwabara has told me so much about all of you so I feel as if I already know you guys and you all feel like those who have been following me so I'm assuming my powers were getting out of control and maybe Keonma sent you without telling Kuwabara since we're friends and he figured it would jeopardize the mission." Suki chuckles awkwardly while scratching the back of her head. No one bought it though they decided to act as if they had.
"Wow, you might rival Kurama with intelligence and perspective insight," Yusuke compliments as he looped his arm around her neck and starts walking towards her apartment where the girl lives alone.
"So Suki, what made you befriend a dope like Kuwabara?" Yusuke asks trying to casually strike up a conversation while truly intending to snoop.
"Well, we have the same class and he has a very friendly, caring, and lover of all things personality so I figured he would be a good friend with just moving into the area." Yusuke nods looking back at Kurama for confirmation since everyone already knows that Hiei is blocked from her mind.
"Kuwabara does indeed give off a friendly vibe," Kurama agrees.
"I know you guys don't really trust me; you were sent here on a mission, I know everything about you guys but you know nothing on me, and I befriended Kuwabara but I promise you guys I'm not all that bad."
"Suki, you don't need to worry. We don't think you've done anything wrong. What Keonma most likely saw was just your spirit energy spiking for one reason or another and with the killings assumed it was you," Kurama was trying to give the girl the benefit of the doubt. Suki is being so polite and inviting while answering all the questions and ones she assumed the group would have and the girl seemed to be genuine. From what Suki has said it's possible her case was much like Yusuke and Kurama's theory is possibly.
"Thank you," she says before rushing off from where they stood to her house. The gang was confused as to Suki's sudden change but there wasn't much that could be done.
"Suki took a deep breath on the other side of the front door. She didn't want to do this to Kuwabara's friends but she had to dig through their minds and find the truth.
"After a while of digging Suki found exactly as she feared, most of the group wants to believe in her but she seemed too good to be real and they weren't finding any other demons in the area with high enough spiritual powers to accomplish the killing going on. Regrettably knowing what she must do Suki tried to invade Hiei's mind while still blocking her mind off from him.
Who is this. Hiei demands through the mental link Suki established.
Suki, I'm sorry for disturbing your privacy but I needed to make this connection. Though mind reading and telepathy is simple child's play, even at the great distance between them, Suki hated reading minds and invading privacy unless absolutely necessary, such as now.
Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you right now?
Because I'm going to find the real demon behind all these murders.
What makes you think we don't already know it's you?
Because I know your team doesn't want it to be me and I would be stupid to tell you that the reason none of you ever saw me leave at night is because I didn't want you to just as I asked Kuwabara to walk me home knowing you would all come out of hiding. Out of the whole group I know you're the only one not fooled by my human act with Kurama greatly suspecting it. Even so it doesn't make me the demon behind this.
I'm certain his next victim is going to be at the pier where a gang runs a fighting club of demons with using humans as a reward. The victims are not humans at first but rather stripped of their powers and is currently using my high energy signals as a cover up since I haven't been able to completely mask it at all times and every day around the same time it slips and this is when the demon strikes.Suki would rather not tell Hiei all of her finds of several months worth of investigation but it was the only way she was certain to gain the groups trust enough to not be executed for this demons work.
Why are you telling me all this? Hiei growls through the mental connection with great irritation.
Because I want you to be there so that I can show you how my powers work and that I'm innocent. No reply came after that but Suki was certain that he would show.
Later that night, just as Suki suspected, Hiei appeared at the pier.
Seek my presence. In exactly one minute I will lose control of my powers for just under thirty seconds. Hiei understood what Suki was telling him and followed Suki's presence to her location in the rafters of a warehouse.
After you witness the demon perform the act himself of stealing another demon's powers, draining him to a human, he then kills them. I will control the guy to stop and come with us, but I need you to call a portal to just a moment Hiei felt Suki's powers release and watched as a human looking demon used a blue swirling orb to suck the power out of a lower level demon just before killing him. All of it happened in just under thirty seconds and exactly at the point in which Suki said it would. Further as she said Suki hopped down from rafters, opened a true jagan eyes and controlled the man to freeze. Strangely enough the other demons didn't react but Hiei assumed that had more to do with shock and confusion considering he himself was at a bit of a lost.
"Open the portal," Suki orders Hiei out of his daze. With a hn, he does as instructed. On the other side of the portal both of them land gracefully while Suki pulls the demon along.
"What is going on here," Keonma demands from the other side of his desk seeming quite angered and flustered at the sight before him.
"Here is your real culprit," Suki tosses the demon to the baby, "and here is the artifact he used to turn demons into humans while later absorbing their powers," she then tosses the orb. "Now leave me alone and to my own matters in the human world. I am not hurting anyone, there are no violations by me being in the human world since other than for quick releases my powers they are under bay at all times and I am not killing the humans but rather studying them to understand human feeble minds since my king is wishing to start a business in the human world which would be why you have no records of me until five years ago when I first went to Kuroko who helped me adjust and gain better control of my immense power." I turn on my heels with every intention of leaving when Keonma forces me to stop in my tracks.
"You're the next in line for the throne in the Blom kingdom, Jagan royalty!" The tiny prince shouts and I sigh with annoyance.
"Yes and I have more important matters to deal with at the moment which you are currently interrupting."
"I will let you stay in the human world so long as you help my group with any further problems in that area."
"You have nothing on me baby breath so I advice you leave me alone before you learn what a true wielder of a jagan can do." The price narrows his eyes as Suki with great displeasure. How dare a mere demon threaten him, lord Keonma. Suki on the other hand simply has no respect for the ruler of the spirit world.
"I can revoke your privilege to be in the human world." Suki narrows her eyes at the spirit world ruler.
'Who does he think he is? I have done nothing wrong and I even helped him and his stupid band of spirit detectives!' Suki fumed mentally, dying to put this baby in his place.
"I stay out of your way and you stay out of mine. Now send me back to my human house." The spirit ruler watches Suki for a bit as he devises a plan to use her as part of his group.
"Very well, we'll be in touch." With the touch of a button Suki falls through the portal back to her human house.
"Keep an eye on her Hiei," Keonma orders Hiei.
"Hn," Hiei replies but intends to spy on Suki for his own reasons.
