You start to twitch awake to a lot of people speaking.

"Are you guys ok? You look really bad." It sounded like Boton.

"We're fine. But those demons weren't after us, they were after her." Kurama stated.

"But why were they after her?" Yusuke asked.

"That's what I'm wondering about. Why would demons be after a human thief?"

"Maybe she stole something valuable from them or made them angry." Kuwabara surmised.

'Hm, now that they mention it, why were those demons after me?'

"Hey, I think she's waking up."

'Thank you, Boton.' You start to move but couldn't, like something was holding you down. You slowly open your eyes to see rope wrapped around the bed and all eyes staring at you.

"This time, we made sure you wouldn't escape. Especially after those demons attacked you." Said Kurama.

"Great." You mumble as you lay back down.

"How do you feel? Are you all right?" asked Boton. You felt like your foot was about to fall off, a thousand knives have gone through your body, the rope was cutting off circulation, and to top it all off, you've got a major headache, hmmm.

"Oh, I'm just fine." You say in a sarcastic tone.

"We have questions for you. When they're answered, maybe we'll leave." Hiei growled.

"Heh, I heard you say 'maybe', how about you just leave?"

"Listen smartass, just answer the questions so I can leave."

"Hmmm, how about No."

"Smartass."

"Jackass"

"Will you two stop already. God your such children." Kurama sighed.

"Alright first, what is your name?" asked Boton.

"……………."

"Please tell us your name."

"…………………………"

"Please!" she screeched/whined

"…………It's ."

"Ok. Next, why did you run away from the temple?" Yusuke asked.

"You haven't figured it out already?" You asked amazed. "It's because a thief is never to be caught, ever, or they get killed/and or turned in. It's…law."

"Ookay, third question, why was that demon after you at your house?" asked Kurama

" I have no idea." You say as you stare at the ceiling

"OK final question, why did those demons from earlier attack you?" Kuwabara asked.

"Again, I have no idea."

"They were after you for a reason.(obviously) They kept saying something about a black jewel." Said Hiei. You jerked upright.

"What did you just say?"

"I said those demons were saying something about a black jewel, do you know anything about it?"

'A black jewel. The jewel I stole yesterday! But why would they want some stupid black jewels? Maybe they're more valuable than I thought. Wait a minute! If they found I had some of the jewels, maybe they know that my boss has them too! Then they would've gotten to him as well. Oh man, this is NOT good.'

"Hey, I asked you something."

"Huh?"

"Do you know anything about these jewels?"

"………I'm not permitted to tell you."

"What?"

"Why not?" asked Kurama.

"I just can't tell you!" You growled as you got a hold of your knife from your pant leg, and cut the rope. You jumped up wearily holding the knife in front of you, making your way to the window again.

"Your crazy, you know that. You can't get very far with that wounded body of yours, you can barely stand up." Hiei sneered.

You grabbed the windowsill and held your body up.

'He's right. With the wounds I have now, I won't get very far. But I have to get back to my house…the jewels…if what Hiei says is true…then…the jewels that I stole…my boss.' You glance down, thoughts swirling in your head, making you momentarily dizzy.

"I have to leave." You say finally.

"You can leave when your body has recovered somewhat." Said Boton.

"No, you don't understand. I have to leave, now, I…I can't tell you why, but I just have to."

"You're acting strange, is something wrong?" asked Yusuke.

You glance around at the people around you.

'I can't possibly tell them. They can't be around me… If it's because of those jewels that the demons are attacking me, they might find me here. I need to run from them, run from…………'

A flash of your brother being shot ran through your mind. He was falling, blood everywhere, and landed hard on the floor.

You grabbed your head in agony as pain followed the image. Then, what happened after the accident, when you were riding with the cops.

What had happened was erased from your memory. But now they were all flashing through your mind so fast. A picture of your mother danced in your head, taunting you, getting you angry. You could feel yourself get a little taller, could feel fangs and claws, could feel ears and a tail appear, and you became what you were when you were little, a Cat-Demon.

"Not…again…" You moaned as red swirled in your vision.

"What the Hell!" Yusuke yelled.

You saw blood red. You attacked them with all the rage that had been stored inside you for so long. (And let me tell you something, all that rage, was REALLY BIG.)

", calm down! Please stop!" Screamed Boton.

"Too late to reason, she's completely out of control." shouted Hiei.

"You have to do something, help her."

"We'll try." comforted Kurama.

"Shot-Gun."

"Spirit-Sword."

"Rose-whiplash."

"Hyaaaa."

They attacked at once, trying to get you to stay down, but failed to do so. Hiei transformed into his demon form, Kurama as well. You stared at Yoko-Kurama, having this sense of de-ja-vu.

"Yoko, don't kill her, just knock her out." Hiei growled.

"Right."

You interrupted them with a slash of your claws. You turn to see them in a fighting position, but something happened and all you saw was darkness.
