Hotaru (Hotaru means firefly or lightning bug)
Kurama sighed; today was going to be an uneventful day. He heard there was a new student. He hoped it wasn't a girl. He could only guess that if it was a girl she would become a part of his fan club. She heard the door open and when he looked up and saw who entered his mouth dropped. She was gorgeous! With long flowing brown hair and beautiful honey brown eyes, sweet supal lips. A perfect figure.
Hello everyone, I'm Takamora Hotaru. Her voice was soft and delicate, like a small wine glass that threatened to break in even the most skilled of hands. Hands like his.
He couldn't take his eyes off her and apparently nether could any other male in the whole school. It was obvious that she had her own fan club now. And to be honest, he was thinking of becoming the president of said club. But then he noticed something… off about her. Like she wasn't what she appeared to be. Well he would have to find out latter.
Well Miss Takamora, please take a seat the teacher said pleasantly, it was quite obvious that he was already taken with her (not that way sicko! Its more like he thinks of her as one of his kids) she nodded and sat down behind Kurama.
He had noticed when he felt someone staring at him but it wasn't the usual lustful stare, more like a curious and calculating stare. Like someone was seizing him up, testing him. He turned his head and locked eyes with Hotaru. She looked like she got the information she wanted and was satisfied and went back to taking notes, but Kurama couldn't do the same. She intrigued him. A puzzle he wanted to and would solve. But to do that he would have to get close to her. Something he didn't mind in the least, he actually found himself quite happy with the thought of spending time with her.
Yo red what are yo—whoa! That is a sorceress! God! Do you know how rare they are?! Youko exclaimed.
No I don't, can you tell me about them? Kurama inquired.
Yeah, you see sorceresses are really rare because they are very powerful and well amazingly beautiful, I can tell you right now that this is only a dull version of how she looks. They are hunted for many reasons, each one different for each sorceress. There aren't anymore sorcerers because they're all dead from hunting. You should count yourself lucky to ever see one. I've only seen one in my entire life, and I'm 5000 years old. Youko explained.
Wow. Lets talk to her after class, after all next is lunch, we could get her all to ourselves if we play our cards right.
You're staring to learn. Was all a chuckling Youko said before going back to sleep, but not before one last glance at Hotaru.
So, she is even more beautiful then she is currently revealing eh? That is hard to believe. To be more beautiful then she is now, wow I would love to see that. He thought.
Later that day….
It was lunch was in session and every male in the school was crowded around Hotaru. She was laughing and joking with them all, and Kurama couldn't help but feel a bit jealous and possessive.
So he walked right up to her and asked.
Would you like to have lunch with me? She smiled a gentle smile that made everyone feel lighthearted. With a nod she told the others that she would talk to them latter but she was going to spend time with Minamino-san. He held out his hand which she readily took to help her off from her position sitting on the table.
Their time together was pleasant and both Youko and Kurama found that they liked Hotaru very much. They learned she was smart, kind, compassionate, affectionate, loyal, spunky, caring, cunning, and adorable. Nether could get enough of her. So they—well Kurama--- asked if she would be willing to eat lunch with him from now on. Which she agreed to.
They had almost all their classes together so it was rare they were apart and they learned to trust each other with any and every secret, well almost every secret but that would be resolved today.
Kurama walked Hotaru to their favorite park and made sure there was no one even remotely close to them. There he began.
Listen Hotaru, I really like you, but I want you to know the truth. I'm a demon, a fox demon. You see Youko was the king of thieves back in the day. One day he was getting cocky and that was the death if him. Well not exactly, he separated his soul from his body and sealed it inside the child of a pregnant human. Me. I don't want you to hate me, but you're my best friend and I felt you had a right to know. He finished.
No sound came from Hotaru; he began to feel like she rejected him. But then he felt arms wrap themselves around him. He looked up to see Hotaru's smiling face.
I don't hate you Suichi, I could never hate you. You are my best friend to so you deserve to know. I am a sorceress. One of the last of my kind. There are only two others. I accept you and always will no matter what you are. Hey! How about you show me your Youko form and I will show you what I really look like? She suggested.
He smirked and transformed and she did the same. When they were done they were staring, mouths wide at each other. (You know how Youko looks, if not Google it. I have a picture of Hotaru on my profile, just check it out because it is too hard to describe.)
After that day they began to train together, they learned a lot about what the other can do and came up with many combination attacks, though they also improved their own strength so they could fight with perfection without the other at any given time.
Kurama made sure to not let the other detectives know about Hotaru's existence. They were doing good at that for a while, 6 months to be exact, training very often and just talking, till one day, the others found out.
