Chapter 21: Lying Through Your Teeth

Blood dripped to the ground in repeated drips as they fell from the gleaming sword gripped tightly in the black clad woman's hand. There was a clink as the sword hilt met the silver bracelet that adorned the woman's wrist. Splotches of blood were splashed across the woman in patterns that could only have come from her continued slayings. Her chest rose rapidly as she sucked in breaths quickly as she tried to regain her composure but with how long the fight was going on her stamina was almost depleted.

"Curse you demon scum!" The woman's voice was harsh as sweat rolled down the side of her face that wasn't covered by her mask. "Just give up and DIE!" She jumped into the air and her swords slashed away at three more demons as they grouped together. They knew she was getting tired and her energy would soon fail her but until that time came she wasn't going to give in easily.

"You should be the one giving in and die bitch." A demon spoke up from somewhere within the group. Although the demons had dealt the woman several lethal blows she hadn't died yet only bled a little. There were tears in her clothing but underneath the cloth her skin was perfect as if the tear was preexisting. "How can you STILL be alive?" He had snapped, he was ready to hand this demon slayer her death and get on with their revenge. "GIVE UP ALREADY AND DIE!"

The woman clearly smirked underneath her mask before she launched herself into the group of demons and completely demoralized them as she took off heads efficiently. She straightened and swiped her sword through the air to clean off the mixture of purple and red demon blood. "Never, I will never give up until all of you are dead." And with that said she attacked once again.

None of the demons were skilled enough for her attack and they were swiftly defeated but not before more blows landed on her body and she was drained off all her energy.

The black clad woman stood in the middle of demon's bodies massacred around her. Her sword dissipated from her hand as she dropped to her knees, exhaustion overruling her body. She collapsed face first as there was a swish in the trees above her. There was a strong sense of spirit energy coming at her from two ways but the woman's eyes slid shut against her will. There was nothing to keep the two assassins from completing their job of protecting their home.

"Kaisei! Fubuki! Stop!" A strong, loud, female voice stopped the two little assassins from attacking Keomi where she lay.

"But Mom…" They whined at her as she stepped into view.

With one firm look from Kuroko they stopped as she marched over the demon's bodies to the black fighter. She knelt near her body and leveled her hand with the woman's covered head. A red ball of energy emitted from her hand and touched the younger woman's still form. After a moment Kuroko stopped and straightened. Her healing abilities were not skilled enough to heal her by herself and she needed help from someone much stronger and more skilled in the art of healing. That was the only way that this human girl would be able to survive.

"Please Genki, she is a human not a demon. I think she was influenced when Sensui opened the portal and she gained a very strong psychic sense. The demons that were after her were weak but had many numbers and she managed to kill them all before she passed out on my property." Kuroko explained to her old mentor and psychic friend.

The ice demon, Yukina, knelt by Keomi's side as she lay in the middle of the floor in bloody clothes still unconscious. Her hand rested upon Keomi's forehead as she focused her healing abilities on the young woman.

Genki took a sip of tea from her cup. She wasn't sure that this girl was, she was clearly giving off a demon's energy and a human's energy but it was so weak that she could hardly tell. Only waiting for her to heal and wake up would she be certain of what this girl was.

When Keomi came to she found herself surrounded by friends of Yusuke Urameshi. Instantly knowing that she couldn't say anything to give herself away to them she lied about who she was and why she was here. She couldn't exactly tell them the whole truth and that she had gone out demon hunting as she did so very often. But this time it was different as she had discovered a plot of revenge against the first Spirit Detective, Kuroko. She had fought them all the way from the city to the Kuroko's property until she collapsed from exhaustion. Although her body was sore and she was still tired Keomi was completely healed due to Yukina's power. When Keomi tried to leave the older women gave her advice to stay out of trouble and not use her power unless she wanted to attract more demons and end up dying. Keomi listened to their advice and when she did leave the temple Genki told her to come back if she ever needed to be healed again. But since Yukina had produced a mixture of herbs used for healing and had given them to Keomi she didn't think that she would be showing up again anytime soon if she ever did show up again. All Keomi was trying to do was keep her identity a secret in case something would slip up. She couldn't let them know what she was and who she was to Shuichi. At all costs she would protect him.

"You're late Shikiharu!" Keomi had managed to rush into the door just as the teacher started the first lesson of the day.

Keomi bowed low to the teacher and apologized, "I am very sorry, I got caught up in something and lost track of time. I'm sorry it won't happen again."

"You have a perfect attendance record so I'm surprised that you are late for once, you are excused but don't let it happen again." The teacher waved his hand at her and she hurried to her desk in the middle of the classroom.

She sank into her chair as she could feel the eyes of all the students on her. She pulled out her textbook and her notebook as she still could feel eyes her. She didn't dare look up at Shuichi as his eyes bore holes into her skin as he stared at her. The rest of the lesson Keomi could constantly feel Shuichi's eyes on her. When lunch time came sure as the tides change Shuichi approached Keomi. His face was blank as he stared at her intently and she could feel the scrutiny in his eyes.

Shuichi searched Keomi's body with his eyes as he could sense there was something wrong with her. Not just being late but there was something deeper that was bugging him.

Keomi twitched as Shuichi stopped right in front of her, she was just waiting for him to ask her why she was late and if there was something wrong at any second.

Shuichi held out his hand to her and on it sat a boxed lunch, "Mom made lunch for you again, here."

Keomi blinked at him but took the lunch from him, trying to understand what he was thinking.

Shuichi knew that he wouldn't get anywhere if he asked Keomi why she was late this morning. She most likely would lie to him and say she slept in or something unimportant so he didn't think it would do him any good to bother and pressure her about it.

~Soooooo I was bored with this chapter and didn't really want to spend too much time with it so I sped through it. But at least Keomi has been introduced to beloved friends of Kurama and Yusuke…not sure if that is a good thing or not….~
