Chapter II: Blood and Rose Petals
Today was one of the most peculiar days of my life. I'd best start at the beginning, since that seems the best place to begin any story. Kay, Hina, Kora, and I were summoned to the Makai from our home in the Ningenkai by our boss. She seemed to be impatient, as per usual.
"Hello, girls," she said to us, "I have a case for you. It seems your Spirit World counterparts are at work. It's time to put your training to good use. I will not be tolerant of failure from you, girls, you know that," she concluded. As usual, Kora whined, Kay said something about not missing school, and Hina kept quiet.
"Alright," I said with poise, "Where are they?"
"Yusuke and Kuwabara are at Sarayashiki Jr. High, Kurama at Meiou High, and as for Hiei...." The boss trailed off, "Well, I don't know where Hiei is. You'll just have to work a little harder to find that one." Taking those words to heart, I set off to find Kurama. Posing as a new student, I performed my infiltration.
"Class, may I have your attention please? This is Kurai....there seems to be a smudge on the last name," the teacher began, "What is your last name?"
"It's not of importance," I said with a grin, "May I please take my seat now?"
"Ah. Anxious to learn, aren't we?"
"I am indeed, sir," I went on with my façade, "I can't wait." Some of the students let out a groan, and I heard someone whisper "teacher's pet."
"You can take a seat next to Shuuichi," the teacher pointed to a boy that looked suspiciously like myself. I walked over to the boy.
"Hello, Kurama," I simpered at his look of utter surprise.
How do you know me? He asked me telepathically. He shot me a glower of distrust.
I have my ways, I replied, let's just leave it at that. Meet me behind the school during lunch. I wove my fingers through my long red hair. I usually keep it in a braid, but I decided to leave it out, just for the occasion.
Today was...different. More so than any other I have experienced. I started my day early, as I usually do, thinking everything was normal. Was I ever wrong. When I got to school today, a new student, looking quite suspicious, I might add, sat next to me in class. She had a smug grin on her face, as if she knew something I didn't. I was surprised when she spoke to me using telepathy. Addressing me as Kurama, she told me to meet her at the rear of the school during lunch. I complied with her request. When I did so, I knew at once who she was. She was a Makai Spirit Detective, hired to track down and eradicate Yusuke, Hiei, Kuwabara, and myself. When she opened her mouth to speak, I tensed my body in apprehension.
"So, Kurama," she said arrogantly, "I suppose it's time for me to obliterate you. You seem appealing, so I'll make your death a rapid one. I'll make it so you won't feel a thing...maybe." She smiled devilishly.
"Don't be so quick to boast," I retorted, "You seem impatient. Why?" I decided to stall until I thought up a good ruse.
"Why should I tell you?" She scoffed, "It's my business, not yours. Besides, what do you care? I am your adversary, after all. Unless you're some wimp who believes that 'caring for others' shit." She laughed at herself. It was a warm laugh, despite her vindictive temperament.
"I suppose you're right. Let's hurry and get this over with. I don't want to be late for class," it was my turn to laugh at my words.
"Bullshit," she replied. I prepared myself to fight.
Ok. That's where I'm leavin' ya. Squeakers is taking care of chapter 3, I believe. Sorry for taking so long. My computer's just crappy. I guess I'll see you again in chapter 4!
