Kira: Ok, I have decided not to put Samara in this fic… I don't really know why… I just don't feel like I want her there. She is in several of my other fics though.
Blackstar: She's kind of annoying.
Samara: HEY!
Aura: S' only true… you can be annoying sometimes.
Kira: sigh
'Kuro's' Unknown Powers
Shuichi had come to see 'Kuro' everyday after school let out for two weeks now. More often than not they would just sit there in silence. Neither would speak a word, they would just enjoy each others presence. Today, though, after about twenty minutes of silence, Night inspired a conversation when she asked Shuichi a question. "Why do you insist on coming here to see me everyday? What is your reason for even caring about my existence?" She asked, from the spot where she sat, staring up at the sky.
Shuichi pondered on the subject for awhile. "Well, I get lonely sometimes too, and you can tell by looking at you that you're usually lonely. There is a look in your eyes that tells me your lonely and that look goes away during this time, but it is always back by the next day. I suppose that look compels me to comeback." He finally answered. You could tell Night was thinking about it and sometime after she seemed to accept the answer and go back to gazing at the stars in the sky until the sun grew low on the horizon. Shuichi rose from where he sat. Night gave a questioned look. He had never left this early before, so why now? "I have a job that I have to do." He answered her unspoken question. She accepted the answer and nodded signaling he had her permission to leave.
Later Nightchild was thinking about what Shuichi had said. Could it have really been true? Could she, a powerful wolf demon be depending on a normal human male for company, depending on him to take away the loneliness she felt? "You're going soft, Night… or I suppose I'm Kuro now." She told herself. In just three weeks in Ningenkai she had gone soft and was now actually trusting and counting on a human as if she would another wolf demon. Man, the pack thought she was cruel when she left Makai, look at her now. The only thing she had killed in days was a few deer so she could eat. Her fighting style didn't matter any longer and her power was no longer important either. And what if Shuichi knew what she was like before he met her, a murderous little she-wolf that enjoyed hunting down and killing her prey not only for food, but for the pleasure of the chase and seeing their warm blood stain the ground. What would he think if he knew that she would go to the Nether world when her life was finally taken? … Why did she even care what Shuichi would think? Where did he possibly have to go anyway?
Nightchild thought over all of this for a while until she caught a scent, a scent that she really wished she didn't smell… Shuichi's blood… and lots of it. And it was close, real close. A snarl ripped from her throat. No way was she losing the only human that kept her company. She wasn't going to call him a friend, she didn't need friends. Wasting no more time, Night set off in the direction of the scent. It was only moments before she came upon the scene. Shuichi was there, cuts all over him, with three other boys and a huge demon. She could sense the boys had enough power to kill it with some time, but she was pissed and killing was what she did to get in a better mood. She was cast out of Makai for it, which should give some detail to how bad this habit was. Silently, being sure to mask her energy, Night approached the group.
"What do we have here?" She questioned coming out of the shadows. She made sure her demon and spirit energy stayed near to nothing.
Shuichi's eyes widened as the demon turned toward her… yup, not the prettiest sight. The demon was big, ugly, and had the worst breath imaginable. "Don't interfere, girl." He sounded. His voice was deep and scratchy, like nails on a chalkboard. It irritated Night to no end.
"Kuro run before it's too late!" Shuichi called, gripping a cut on his arm. She ignored him.
"You know her, Kurama?" Yusuke asked (I don't want to take time to describe them). He nodded.
Kurama? Did he just call Shuichi Kurama? "I will interfere if I wish to." Nightchild growled her gaze hardening and her pupils becoming beast-like slits, yet the boys were not close enough to notice this feature. Too Bad.
"Do you have a death wish, girl?" The demon bellowed.
"Kurama, your friend is going to get herself killed." Kuwabara stated. He was trying to hold back the pain from his own wounds.
Night continued to ignore them. "No, but you do apparently, seeing as you keep calling me 'girl'. My name is Ni-- Kuro." Ok, she could have just blown the whole thing right there by saying her real name.
"You have a big mouth for a weak human onna." The demon's voice told of his rage. He rushed at her for an attack, but when he swung his fist… she was gone? He looked around frantically.
"Looking for something?" Night called from a nearby tree. Hey, if you got talent… show off.
"Your onna friend seems to be a better fighter than she leads on." Hiei commented, watching with intent interest.
"You bitch! DIE!" The demon yelled, breaking the tree into millions of tiny pieces, but completely missing Nightchild.
She smirked began to walk away. "You're not worth my time." She stated making everyone's eyes widen. The demon roared in anger behind her as he walked to, who she knows as, Shuichi and asked him if he was ok. He simply nodded, unable to speak. "Don't tell me a worthless demon like him did this much damage to you." He said raising an eyebrow. She was continuing to anger the demon, making him come at her again. She had gotten bored with him though. Night released all her spirit energy at the same time, attacking the demon with a force that destroyed his body easily. Any human would fall faint at the sudden lose of all that spirit energy, but Night had her demonic energy to make up for it. The boys stared in amazement.
"You know Koenma is going to want to hear about this." Yusuke stated.
"Koenma...? You mean you're the spirit detectives?" Night asked. Of course, how could she be so blind? Why else would they be out here at night fighting demons? And she had been spending the last two weeks with on of them! She should have guessed!
"Yeah, and the diaper boy will probably want to know all about you and make you part of the team. Come on, we can take you to meet him." Kuwabara said with a stupid grin. Oh no, what has she gotten herself into? This was not going to end well… and how were the spirit detectives supposed keep an eye on her if THEY HAD NO IDEA WHO SHE WAS?
"Um, no… I don't think that would be… a smart thing to do." Night said. What if Koenma knew what she had done and caged her? That could do things to demons like herself, makes em' crazy and suicidal. She shuddered at the thought of it.
"Why not?" Yusuke asked with a puzzled look on his face. Night just needed to shut up. Every time she opened her mouth she just got herself deeper and deeper into this mess.
