I look at my drawing now that it was done. The toddler was right yesterday when he said that the different forms had their own personalities. Looking at this drawing none of the girls really seemed to be anything alike. In the center was me with wolf ears and a tail dressed in one of my favorite outfits. Next to me on my left side was a woman in pure white. Her skin was as fair as could be. She wore a summer dress that came down to the grown and smiled sweetly. Next to her was a lazy looking girl that seemed to have wind blowing all around her, but not disrupting anyone around her. She as well wore a dress, but hers was light silver that came to her knees. While she seemed to be lazy she also seemed playful and like a prankster. Defiantly someone Yusuke and Kuwabara would get along with. On my right stands a kind of sexy scary type woman who looks like she's ready to take on a whole army on her own. She was dressed in all black. It was almost like ribbon the way it wrapped up her arm then crossed from the back of her neck then went down. The ribbon expanded to cover her boobs then went back to ribbon as it went across her stomach then crossed across her thigh connected to a long skirt that revealed her bared skin going down to her feet. Thankfully in this elaborate design it made its way back to cover her vaginal area. As to be flashy she had a thick ribbon on her thigh that she stuck a dagger in. Thrown over her back she kept a sword. It was sexy and I'm sure it drove guys crazy with her long dark electric blue hair and dark purple eyes, but there was still that dangerous air of scariness to it. Next to her was a girl with an earthy brown hair that was cropped at neck length and wild. She wore a pair of tan cargo pants with a black little cloth belt. Her top was a cut off sleeves green and brown hoodey that just barely hit the edge of the pants. Beside her with her arms wrapped around the earthy girl and who I'm guessing is the water girl is a girl with brilliant ice blue eyes and fiery red hair pulled back in a pony tail and it still reached the floor! Her shirt held a white color that opened at the chest area while coming down and around the edge of her chest then connected back up about two inches under her chest with a single clasp. To make it a little less provocative she wore a black shirt that as well as the white over part ended above the belly button. Her skirt held on to her hips and went an inch down before it split into three smaller parts with a large one in the back. The skirt was all black with a white flame design that licked up from the bottom of her skirt. She had black boots that I swear matched the ones in my closet right now and black gloves that came up to her upper arm. The Final girl wore an ocean blue dress that came to mid thigh with long sleeve and tide around the waist just to have a black wrap around her waist that buckled in the front. Her hair was as black as black can be like the bottomless pits of the ocean with the most gorgeous blue eyes that had flecks of gold and sea weed green. Around her eyes in intricate design of water drops framed her eyes with delicate design of swirls framing her face. As a finishing touch she wore sparkling light blue eye shadow.
"When she's working it's not advised to bother her," I hear Hiei say to someone followed by the sound of his door shutting. I set aside the drawing and come out of my room, shutting my door behind me.
Sometime in the midst of drawing I had gotten dressed I had a white long sleeve shirt that at the shoulders breaks off and ties to the rest of the sleeves. As a touch of flare the shirt has a ruffled red ends that blend right into the half red belt with a gold buckle off to the side. The skirt is white ruffles on the side with the red belt and pelted black on the side without the belt. I threw on black socks that come up just above the knees so that it showed off the bared legs up to my mid thigh where my skirt ends. As to tie it all together and to put my touch to it I have one of my pairs of black boots and one of my collars.
"Neona are you a sleep?"
"No why," I ask giving Kurama a weird look.
"Because your ears and tails are out."
"What," I demand turning around to see a swooshing tail. My hands shoot up to the top of my head where I had ears. Panicked I rush back into my room and into the bathroom.
Smokey grey ear, like the color of my eyes. I had ears and a tail! Looking at myself in the mirror I bring my hand slowly up to my ears flinching as I touched them. They were soft and delicate, but it was just so weird. I had freaking ears for god sake! No way could this be normal, though since yesterday what about my life has been normal. I mean come on there are demons with super powers. Another world from what I could figure out. I mean not much of my life seems very normal since yesterday and if that was only my first day in this secret world I can only guess it's going to get weirder.
"I like your ears. Personally I think your ears and tails are quite cute." Behind me Kurama comes up and pets my ears. Out of nowhere a purr erupts out of my throat! I panic and pull away with a deep blush across my face. I slowly open my eyes to see Hiei smirking at me and Kurama chuckling lightly to himself.
"Shut up it's not funny!"
"I've never seen you so flustered baka," Hiei says with that cocky smirk.
"It is very cute the way you react Neona."
"Shut up!" I was fluster and I was also very confused. I purred, what the hell was that. I didn't even know I could do that. I've heard myself growl before, but purr? I don't think I've ever heard of a wolf purr?
"Growling is a sign of pleasure or liking something. It's common among wolf demons, especially when their ears or tail are being stroked."
"But that was a purr," I argue back, but I'm sure he picked up the hint of confusion in my voice.
"It was a growl of pleasure. I've seduced enough wolves and cat demons to know the difference," Kurama assures me, but only causes me to worry more by how he's learned the difference.
"Why don't we head down stairs? Lunch is done and I'm sure you must be hungry." He was trying to change the subject after sensing my sudden unease. In silent agreement we all head downstairs to join the others.
A low growl escapes my throat as Hiei brushes my tail while taking his spot beside me as we walk. I wince to myself hating how hypersensitive I am about this, but again I receive a smirk from Hiei. He was enjoying this and I know he's only going to take full advantage of this.
"Don't worry, you'll only be this sensitive for a day or two." I sigh at this news that Kurama delivers.
Downstairs it was like a mad house. The boys, Yusuke and Kuwabara, were fighting as usual and devouring most of the food. The girls who had their helpings were eating much slower and calmer.
"Don't worry I always make enough so that everyone can eat and those two get their fill." Surely he has to make about thirteen servings just to feed eight people with those two eating habits. "I hope you don't mind, but I don't know how much you eat-"
"I hardly eat so don't worry, but would you like someone to help you with the cooking? I did all of the cooking at my old place and I don't feel right not cooking." I had cut him off mid sentence, but I already knew where he was going with this and it was somewhat nice to just be myself and not need to worry about someone gripping at me or hitting me because of it. I could just be myself and treat everyone here like my friends. Who knows maybe I'll fit in this family here. It's a nice though, but who knows what my life will be like here. (I do! Sorry I just really felt like saying that. Back to the story.)
"That would be very helpful. Thank you Neona." I shrug his thanks off and grab my food and sit down at the table and begin eating, like a normal person.
"Wow when did you get ears?" Yusuke asks me mid fight with Kuwabara.
"Wow those are cool," Kuwabara says stopping in mid fight like Yusuke had.
"A little while ago," Hiei says brushing his hand against my ear with the full intention of seeing my body lean into it and growling. After the reaction I jerk away and hit Hiei's arm glaring at him. He just smirked at me as we both know my hit didn't faze him.
"Damn Hiei I hate you sometime."
"We both know that's not true New Moon," Hiei says knowing full well that I could never truly hate him. I could get mad at him, but never for very long.
I huff at him then go back to my food as Yusuke and Kuwabara devourer the second serving of food that Kurama made.
After everyone was done with their food Kurama and I head into the kitchen to begin washing the dishes.
"This is very kind of you," Kurama says smiling at me while I hand him a pan to dry off and put away.
"I need to pull my own weight around here and it would be right of me not to help out." Kurama simply nods his head. I'm sure he gets where I'm coming from.
"Neona," he says after a while, "Do you like Hiei more than just a friend? I'm sorry if I'm stepping past my boundary of allowance with you, but I have to ask."
"It's fine and Hiei and I are friends."
"But that doesn't mean you don't have feelings for Hiei."
"Hiei isn't one for relationships; you and I both know that. I'm the type of person that doesn't usually date either because I see no point in going for something that I don't believe I can't have."
"So you do have feelings for Hiei?"
"I never said that," I tell him as I dry my hands off and walk over to the kitchen and plop down with the others to see them watching Hetalia. I loved this show it was funny as hell. The best part was it was one of my favorite episodes with Grandpa Rome. Once the show was over and something else came on the Funimation channel I get up. I just wanted to get out of the house and according to Hiei there was a training ground nearby.
"Where you going?"
"Just to the training ground Botan I should be back in a few hours."
"Training in those clothes, what's wrong with you?" I look down at myself. I don't see why she was freaking out about it. I fight in stuff even cute than this.
"These are my normal clothes; I need to be able to fight in anything that I wear."
"But they're so cute why take the chance of ruining them. What if you break a heel?"
"Botan I've done worse than break a heel in and to these boots. I will be fine I promise." I turn and leave rolling my eyes. I kind of like her, though I still find her pretty annoying at times.
As I walk outside I can see the rain pouring shortly before I become drenched walking outside. I love the rain, but at the same time it annoyed me a bit because my purple bra was now completely visible through my now see-through shirt. I ignore it as best I can and just make my way to the training ground.
Once I'm there and begin training the water feels so good on my skin. Everyone and everything just disappears. I don't even notice when the sun went down and it became dark. The feeling doesn't last long, though, as my head begins throbbing and my body suddenly feels as if it's liquefying. The oddest part is its still solid. I begin making my way towards the house unsure what was happening to me when everything went black.
.::Hiei's POV::.
New Moon has been gone for too long and I can't read her mind without her getting upset about it. I hate that at time because it would have made my life easier as it has back at her old house. I was able to just vanish before her father came in the room. But with her it wasn't so easy to keep track of or watch over.
"Hiei where are you going," Kurama asks.
"Out," I reply coldly shutting the back door.
From what the others told me she went to the training grounds. I'm hoping she just got absorbed in trained as I've seen her do before. She takes everything she does very serious and is passionate about it. Countless times I've seen her lose track of time because of it.
I approach the training ground to see New Moon collapsed on the ground, face down. She wasn't hurt, but she wasn't awake either.
"New Moon," I say hating the sound of panic in my voice.
"Hello, Hiei," I husky foxy voice says as New Moon's body changes into a different person.
AN: Sorry for those of you that read my other stories, I just really can't focus on them. For those that are writers you might get what I'm saying when I say I have an erg to just write this story and Bird of a Different Cage and when I'm not writing one of those I just can't focus because I just want to write another one
