Kaida Okami - The Beginning
Chapter Three
Reasons and Residence

Koenma viewed the group in front of him from his new vantage point. Being in his teen form was really quiet an advantage when it came to the view. Hiei was standing in the corner, Yusuke and Kuwabara where sprawled over various chairs, Kurama stood against the wall and the new girl, Kaida, sat on the back of a chair. She had her head-phones on and the volume was up so loud that you could hear it plainly in the room. Kaida and Yusuke where bopping their heads to Aerosmith. Kurama was shaking his head, amused. Koenma cleared his through but they ignored him. Becoming increasingly mad at the lack of attention he walked up, and camly yanked the headphones from the walkman. He took the walkman and held it behind his back.
"I was listening to that!" objected Kaida, glaring at him. Koenma ignored her.
"I bet your wondering why you're here?" he asked them as Kaida pouted. They nodded.
"The Dark Tournament is starting up again and you guys have to fight in it. Kaida will be fighting with you due to her fighting abilities and healing abilities. That and the fact that if she doesn't, she's going to jail for stealing from my personal treasury." By now even Kaida was listening.
"Why do we have to fight?" complained Yusuke. Before Koenma could answer Kaida stuck her hand straight up into the air like she was in class all the while saying 'I know, I know!!' Koenma sighed.
"Fine Kaida, tell Yusuke why he has to fight." Said Koenma giving in. Kaida looked at Yusuke.
"The people in charge of the Tournament hate you. There for, they are going to use every available opportunity to kill you. If you don't fight, they will kidnap those closest to you and hold them hostage, forcing you to fight on their terms." Kaida looked back at Koenma, "right?" Koenma nodded. "So Kaida, will you fight?" Koenma asked.
"Well, durh! Where else am I supposed to get good seats for the Dark Tournament?" she said instantly. Koenma sweat dropped but said, "very well. In order to allow you to train for the next 3 weeks I'm moving you all into one house." Kaida snorted. "Yeah, that'll work." She muttered under her breath. "do you expect the house back in one piece?" lucky for her Koenma didn't hear her. Kaida raised her hand again.
"I have to get some..stuff ...out of my house." She informed them. Koenma nodded.
"fine. Hiei and Botan will go with you to help you pack." He told her. Kaida smirked. "Don't you mean, there coming with me to make sure I don't run away?" Koenma sweat dropped.
"Come on, baby-sitters." She told them walking out of the office.

At Kaidas Den

"You live in a cave?" asked Botan quizzically.
"Yup." Replied Kaida stepping into the small cave. Botan and Hiei followed her. Botan let out a small yelp which she quickly stifled. Kaida didn't blame her. Every where in the cave where wolves. An entire pack was in the cave that was actually larger than it looked. Kaida lit a lamp and turned to Botan.
"You don't have to be afraid, they wont hurt you." She told the Ferry Girl. Hiei was busy observing the far wall witch was covered with weapons of all sorts. The wolves lifted their heads as they entered but laid back down. Kaida walked over to the wall that Hiei was staring at and pulled a small black leather bag out from behind it. Humming to herself she ran her hands along the shelves, examining the weapons. She put on a large waist belt with pockets everywhere on it. She chose a medium sized katana made to fit her and thrust it through her belt. Still humming she grabbed a crystal case of daggers and stuck them in the bag. She reached a shelf that had numerous small vials on it. She examined one, filled with a clear liquid, but put it back all the while talking softly to herself. She pulled a small vial of green liquid, one of red, and one of purple. She stuck them in her pockets as well. She moved to another shelf with small ninja throwing stars. She pulled a fist full out and stuck them in another pocket. She went into a room in the cave and came out with a few articles of clothing. She folded and rolled a black travelers cloak, and extra shirt, and a pair of sorts. She stuck them in her bag along with the belt loaded with weapons. She tied the katana to her jeans because it wouldn't fit in her bag and looked around her. The wolves, noticing something was happening, where shifting around uneasily. Botan was looking at her weapon filled bag with amazement and Hiei was still admiring the collection. Kaida knelt in the middle of the pack.
"I have to go for a little while." She told them, talking as if they understood. "I want you to try and keep people away from here if you can but don't get hurt. Make sure those thugs around here don't go bugging people." She patted the wolves nearest to her and stood to leave. She felt a tug on her jeans and looked down. A young wolf pup was clinging to her pant leg stubbornly with his teeth. Kaida laughed and picked him up.
"What makes you think your coming?" she asked him. He licked her face and she put him back down. Botan and Hiei followed Kaida out of the cave.
"So," Kaida asked Botan. "Do we go to this new house or what?" Botan nodded. "Yes, but first we have to get the others and catch the bus." Kaida laughed.
"I have a better plan." Kaida moved some shrubbery aside revealing a large, slightly run down pick-up truck.
"Can you drive that?" Botan asked from the back of the pick-up. Hiei had opted to sit in the front. Kaida laughed again.
"Maybe. Lets find out." Hiei took one look at her and buckled his seatbelt. Kaida saw.
"Oh now Hiei, your lack of faith in my driving skills hurt." She said with a fake sad look.
"I choose life, thanks." Said Hiei. Kaida laughed again and pulled out into the road, cutting off another driver.
"Kaida, do you know how to get to Yusukes house? That's where everyone is!" Yelled Botan from the back. Kaidas eyes glowed purple for a moment before she replied.
"I do now!" she yelled back, turning the radio on full blast.
