Daaku was humming to himself as he was sitting in the back of a truck going
down the highway without the owner knowing because of the magic he was
working. Suddenly king Yamma's image appeared out of nowhere in the sky.
"Daaku I see you got my message and are heading this way, well don't bother
I'm aware of the havoc you can cause so I'm going to inform you now"
"What's there to inform me about I'm supposed to hunt down Toorima and
bring back proof of her defeat, right?" "Yes and no Daaku, I want you to
track her down and defeat her but don't kill her." "Hmmm not kill her I'll
try but no guarantees because I might accidentally slip into demon form and
kill her." Daaku said as he drew his finger across his throat. "Then you
wont get your reward and I know how much you want that reward Daaku. You
want to live in peace and perfect your skills. Am I right?" "Grrr yes your
right, fine I wont kill her."
"What the hell!" The driver said as Daaku having lost his concentration
became visible to him. "Damn it Koenma now look what you did!" Daaku said
as he shot a shuriken off his belt into the man's throat and yanked on the
attached string. Quickly putting the bloody shuriken back in his belt and
jumping off the truck he landed on the road and ran off into the woods. It
looked as if he was legging this journey. After a day of traveling he came
to a town and decided to visit the clubs and see if Toorima had been seen
in the area.
Walking into The Foxes Den Daaku ordered a drink and went to sit at a table
and watch the crowds. "Hey stranger wanna dance?" asked an obviously drunk
woman. "No thank you I prefer to sit here and watch others dance." Daaku
said as he started humming making it seem to the woman as if he had walked
away and she followed the image he had created. "Well well well you must be
a demon or a demon hunter which is it?" said a demon who appeared out of
nowhere into the seat next to Daaku. "None of your business woman now who
are you?" "My name is no concern of yours and your clearly a demon so what
do you want here?" "I'm here to get some info for a bounty and I assume you
can give it to me?" "That depends" the demon said as she seemed to be
thinking "Her name is Toorima." "Sound familiar." Daaku said as he noticed
the demon getting pale and looking around furtively looking around scared.
"Yes it is familiar but I think you should forget all about your stupid
quest or you will end up dead with one of these in your back" The demon
said pulling out a dagger and giving it to Daaku. "My mate died because of
it you can have it." Sniffing it he picked up the sent of the blood on the
knife and then something deeper more sensual. "Thank you this will do
nicely." Daaku said while swiftly throwing all his shurikens into the
people in the bar killing them instantly and pulling on the strings to get
his shurikens back and put them back on the belts. Shivering the kitsune
said, "What kind of demon are you?" "One you won't ever see again" Daaku
said as he whipped out his nagamaki and removed the sheath. Daaku killed
the kitsune with a single slash and without bothering to hide his tracks he
walked out the door and out of town.
