Part 4 – A Night Out

Yuzuriha found Bara a very fun person. Even though she was a grown adult she acted so much like a teenager. She smiled a lot and was very kind.

"Now that's how you hold it. Then you put your lips, yep just like that." Bara said as she showed Yuzuriha how to hold the flute. Hesitantly Yuzuriha blew in it. Making a weak sound from the small instrument. Bara laughed seeing Yuzuriha's confused look.

"Don't worry. With practice you'll get it." Bara said deciding to teach Yuzuriha how to play the flute. Then it wasn't long before Yuzuriha finally made a soothing sound out of the flute.

A.N. Please note that I'm not a flute player. There was a reason why I play a clarinet instead of flute. I'm just making this up as I go. =^.^=

"This is so cool! I never got to learn to play an instrument. Even though I thought it be fun." Yuzuriha said looking down at the flute. Then she noticed how late it was.

"Ah! I have to go home! I'm sorry to leave so suddenly like this." Yuzuriha said standing up. Inuki jumping up at his feet also. Then she was about to hand the flute back to Bara when she held up her hand.

"No, you keep it. You need to practice." Bara said with a smile. Yuzuriha smiled as she nodded.

"All right. Will I see you again?" Yuzuriha asked. Bara nodded.

"How about Saturday? Same time and place?" Bara asked. Yuzuriha nodded. As she turned to leave Bara called out to her.

"Yes?" Yuzuriha asked.

"Make sure to where some clothes that you aren't afraid to get dirty." Bara said. Yuzuriha nodded then ran off. Holding the flute and with Inuki running by her side.

Bara smiled as she watched the young inugami mistress run. She waved good-bye for now. Then she started walking off in the opposite direction. She had a job to do, and a bush to feed.

As Bara opened the door to her apartment she pulled off the hair band that kept her hair tied in its braid. Letting it unravel to its normal style. She shrugged off her clothes and pulled out her normal clothing that she always wore when she went out to hunt. The black business like skirt and jacket. With the white button shirt and black tie. Then she grabbed her sunglasses and her black glove.

Bara walked down towards the lobby, nodding hello to other people that walked by her heading towards their apartments. Coming home from work, while she went out to work.

A cold wind blew through the air on the streets of Tokyo but Bara kept on walking without notice. She briefly read the papers that told her to kill the latest rapist/murder/insane person out for tonight.

- So what's on the menu tonight? Murder, rapist? Hopefully a suicidal person. They always taste good. -

Bara smirked at the Bush's comment.

"Your in luck. It's a group of gangsters." Bara said. She could practically see the Bush drooling on it's soon to be dinner.

Suddenly her instincts grew as she felt another presence that wasn't a mere civilian. Bara summoned her shikigami and sent it out to the attack. Then out of the dark a large gray, black eagle screamed in the air diving at the wolf. It jumped out of the way, barely missing the talons.

"Well hello Cherry Boy." Bara said commanding her shikigami back towards her side. It walked over to her and sat down faithfully on her right side. It's ears twitching every once and a while, making sure that no one else was coming. The eagle landed on a shoulder in the alleyway, it to with its senses on high alert.

"How many times have I told you not to call me that." Seishirou said holding a cigarette. Bara shrugged walking towards her old time friend. She plucked the cigarette he was holding and took a smoke. She left her pack at the apartment.

"I lost count." Bara said, not giving back the cigarette. The corner of her lips turned slightly upwards as she heard Seishirou sigh seeing he wasn't going to have his cigarette back.

"So who's on your list to kill tonight? I got a whole gang that has to go." Bara said, tapping the cigarette to get rid of the left over ash.

"Same here as well. I guess we have to split up the kill. So you know what that means." Seishirou said looking at her through her glasses. Bara just kept looking down the street blowing out a trail of smoke from her lungs. She nodded with a slight wince. That means both the bush and tree where going to have to share.

::I'm not sharing!::

The tree yelled in both their minds. Seishirou rolled his eyes in annoyance.

- I refuse to give part of my meal to that prissy tree! -

"Oh shut up both of you. I'm betting this gang is big enough for you to be feed for the next couple of weeks or else we might not have to be killing the same one." Bara said. She threw down her cigarette, putting it out with her black high-heeled shoes.

"Did you get the exact location on where this gang hangs out? I only got downtown of this area." Seishirou said. Bara shook her head still staring down the street.

"But we wont have to look long." Bara said pointing down the street. Seishirou looked and saw a group of people walking towards their way. Some holding chains, others holding clubs. He sighed and looked behind him. He saw more people walking their way.

"Where surrounded." Bara said with a smirk as she closed her eyes.

"This is going to be a long night." Seishirou muttered.

"We don't like strangers on our turf." Said one of the gangster, holding a chain like weapon.

"Haven't your mother told to you respect your elders." Seishirou asked, taking off his sunglasses and put them into his jacket pocket.

"Like you old man? Ha!"

"Shouldn't you little boys be at home, sleeping for a day of school tomorrow?" Bara asked annoyed. The Bush may enjoy the taste of gangster but they where annoying people to kill. Ones with ego large than their heads, which really annoyed her. She didn't like to be annoyed.

"Hey lady, why you just come with us for some fun. We'll show you some real school." Said another. Bara tilted her hand, making her sunglasses fall to the bridge of her nose. Revealing her rose colored eyes. They glared at the gangsters with great annoyance.

"I'll give my own teaching." Bara said. Then everything turned dark as a whirl of rose petals filled the air. Taking all the gangsters and Seishriou into her maboroshi.

Seishirou stood calmly where he was watching with great amusement as Bara glared at the gangster. He could tell that she was greatly annoyed by their attitudes. Seishirou looked around at the maboroshi, it was dark with all the trees around the area. Bara always made her illusions of a forest. Since it's a more natural home of wolves.

Seishirou smiled amused as he watched the gangster look around confused on what just happened.

"So now that we are on my turf we go by my rules." Bara said taking a stepped towards the one who wanted to 'teach' her some schooling. Then before he could say anything Bara drove her hand through his chest. Everyone watched as her hand went right through his body. Pulling out her hand Bara let the body dropped down to the ground, dead.

"I can't believe we where sent here to deal with idiots like them." Bara said stepping over the body heading towards her next victim.

"You know you better hurry Cherry Boy. The ones I kill are the ones I'm going to feed to the Bush. Plus they are all running away and I really don't want to run around all night chasing them." Bara said pointing to the gangsters that where running through the woods, to scared to fight.

"Why do they do it the hard way?" Seishirou asked watching them all running into the forest.

"Mmmm… either they are just scared to shitless to fight or they want us to have a little fun?" Bara asked.

Seishirou ignored her sarcastic comment and decided to use his own magic. He mixed his own maboroshi into Bara's, merging the two together. The ground broke apart into broken like columns making it unable to the gangster to run without thinking they've fallen to their death. The ground around him rose high while the one around Bara broke apart rising up.

"Aww..Sei-chan you ruined my scenery!" Bara whined as she looked down at the illusion landscape.

"I'll make it up to you later then." Seishirou said with a sigh. Bara's face beamed in happiness.

"Sleepover?"

"Yes, we can have another sleepover."

"Waii!!!! Pocky included?"

"What are you 10 again?"

"Uh…10 plus 23 years added. God I feel old now."

Seishirou glared at her from her last comment.

"Where both the same age you know." He said flatly. Bara thought for a moment and gave an innocent smile.

"Yea, yea correct my math later! Let's finish the job, feed our wonderfully annoying weeds-"

::I heard that!::

- I heard that! -

Bara rolled her eyes and continued on her comment before she was so rudely interrupted.

"Then lets hurry on with the sleepover! Hey Sei-chan do you think I could-"

"No."

"Aw come one! Just a little-"

"No."

"How about-"

"No."

"Just once-"

"No."

Bara thought for a moment trying to figure ways on how to make Seishirou say yes to her idea.

"I know how 'bout-"

"No."

"Aw…Cherry Boy your no fun. I think Pretty Boy needs to get you laid so you'll loosen up a bit and trust me it'll do the world a lot better!"

Seishirou sighed pinching the bridge of his nose again wishing Bara hadn't taken his last cigarette.

- ::sigh:: Was that entertaining enough? If not I'll make it up to you guys next chapter! Hopefully my humor hasn't left me yet. Oi... feedback please! It's always, gladly welcomed! ^-^
