Another Incident
**********
Kikyo walked out of the classroom as school ended.
"Kikyo! Wait for me!" Mika cried out to her.
"Mika...do you want to stop by for some ice cream on the way home?" Kikyo smiled. "I think it'll get our minds off the demon hunter."
"Sure!" Mika walked next to Kikyo as they left the school. "But it really is strange, isn't it? Demon hunter...I wonder if Akito's story is really true."
**********
Akito hid behind a tree.
(I have to find out what Kikyo really is...) He thought to himself as he crossed the road and squatted behind the mailbox.
**********
Kikyo suddenly turned around, eyeing the mailbox.
"What's wrong?" Mika asked, also turning around.
Kikyo's eyes glared at the mailbox. (He's following us, is he?) She grinned as she turned back around.
"What is it?" Mika's eyes squinted in confusion. "Tell me!"
Kikyo closed her eyes. "It's nothing...I think it's just this demon hunter stuff...it's bothering me quite a bit."
They entered the ice cream shop and waited on line.
"Ladies! What can I do for you?" The worker asked. He wore a red and white striped shirt, which indicated that he did work in the ice cream shop.
"A vanilla ice cream, please." Kikyo stated quietly.
The worker laughed. "A quiet one, eh..."
**********
Their voices grew louder as Akito neared the ice cream shop.
He stared into the ice cream shop from the corner, but quickly slid away when Kikyo turned and looked at him.
He panted and stared into the sky, while leaning on the wall behind him. (I can't keep this up. Sooner or later, she'll know I'm following her. Man...)
Akito started to quickly walk away, but was stopped when Kikyo spoke to him.
"What were you doing?" She had on a serious face. "Or...what were you planning to do?"
"N-none of your business!" Akito snarled. "I-I was just thinking about getting some...ice cream, but then realized that I didn't have any money!"
(Yeah, that's the way to go...get her off my track.) He continued to walk away, but then turned back and stood next to Kikyo and whispered in her ear. "I'll find out who you really are soon. Just you wait..."
"Kikyo? What is it? You suddenly disappeared, just as I was getting my ice cream...and, you left me to pay for both of ours! Man..." Mika grumpily walked out of the ice cream shop. "Ah! Akito! What are you doing here? Getting some ice cream, too?"
"No." Akito smiled cheerfully, acting as if nothing had just happened. "Just taking a walk."
"Then, come and take a walk with us! We're going to go to the park...the one that the news story involved." Mika pointed down the right of the street. "Over there!"
"Okay...I'd like to see what that's all about too, right, Kikyo?" Akito grinned when she looked at him with hard eyes.
A ping ran through Kikyo's head. "Um...I just remembered something. Sorry, Mika! I have to go shopping with my mom to get some food!" Kikyo started to run down the street, in the direction of the park. "Sorry! Maybe we can take a look at the park together at a different time! See you!"
"K-Kikyo!" Mika cried out. "I wonder...what made her remember that so suddenly. Oh, well!"
Kikyo's figure slowly faded away.
(That girl...) Akito stared down the street. (She really does have something to hide!)
**********
(That guy...) Kikyo ran toward the park. (He really is trying to discover who I really am.)
"Demon! I sure I felt one!" She jumped the police tape and ran into the park. "Where is it? I know it's here somewhere! It has to be!"
Kikyo looked all around here and her gaze slowly drifted to a bunch of trees that were together. "There!"
"Come out!" She cried out. "I know you're in there!"
"Kukuku..." A deep voice laughed. "You're pretty good..but I doubt you're good enough to defeat me!" A big black mass shaped like an arm suddenly flew out from the coverage of the trees and headed straight for Kikyo.
Kikyo jumped away, bringing out a thin piece of paper with her index and middle finger from her right hand, and then landed on a branch of a tree. Her clothes changed into the same outfit that she had on the other night, a white shirt, an unbuttoned black jacket, and flared black pants.
"You are good...better than I expected." The demon stepped out from the trees. "Take this!"
Another black arm swung at her. She jumped away and threw the paper at the demon's chest.
"Demon Begone!" She cried out as the paper struck the demon and landed on the ground.
"No!" The demon screamed in pain. "This can't be happening to me! I can't be defeated by this girl! AAH-!"
The demon slowly sizzled away, leaving only ashes and a burnt piece of paper.
"It's just the same weak demon, one after another." Kikyo stated. "There's no more joy in hunting demons anymore."
Kikyo looked up at the sky. (Night already, eh? Guess it's time to go back home...) She left the park, stepping over the police tape.
**********
"I'm home!" Kikyo cried out when she stepped into her house. "Mom! Dad!"
"Welcome home." Kikyo's mom, Emma, stepped out from the kitchen. "Another demon, was it?"
"You felt it, too?" Kikyo wondered. "Oh, yes, that's right. You used to be demon hunter, too."
"What was the prey tonight?" Li, Kikyo's father, walked out of the kitchen.
"A demon, of course!" Kikyo exclaimed.
Li stared at her, amazed. "Don't say that as if I didn't know. I meant to say 'how was it.'"
"Oh...it was easy. One piece of paper was all that it took." Kikyo started to walk upstairs. "I'm going to go rest for a bit, okay?"
"That's fine, but it's almost dinner time, okay? Come down here in seven minutes." Emma walked back into the kitchen, followed by Li.
"Let's watch TV." Li cried out.
(The same as always...) Kikyo smiled to herself. (Father really should take it easy...he's aging and shouldn't be yelling so much.)
"And for today's news story...there's another incident." The news reporter spoke. "Another burnt piece of paper and a pile of ashes were found in the park again when the police searched it again for clues to the unknown boy's murder."
"Ah...that's Kikyo's doing! What a good girl she is..." Li sighed. "I wish I was that young again."
**********
"Another incident!" Mika exclaimed at her home. "This town's becoming quite dangerous!"
"People have been saying that it's the demon hunter..." Mika's mother entered the room, taking off her jacket.
"Mom..you've heard of that story, too?" Mika questioned.
"Course I have..." She replied. She hung her jacket up in the closet."No one in this town that has lived has never heard of it!"
"Do you really believe that story..." Mika said quietly. "A story like that...it can't be real."
"Mika..." Mika's mother walked into the kitchen. "I'm going to prepare dinner. You can go take a shower since it'll be a while."
"Thanks." Mika walked into her room. (Demon hunter...I wonder if there's such a thing...)
**********
Akito sat on the couch of the family room in his house. "Another incident, eh?"
He looked away from the television, his eyes closed. (Is it HER again? Also, was it Kikyo that caused the little boy's death a couple days ago?)
"I must find out! I'll go to the park again tonight while everyone's sleeping to look for clues..." He proclaimed.

Author's Note: What's going to happen? Is Akito going to find out Kikyo's secret? Or will he not? And who killed that little boy?
