Yea, I don't own anything or anyone but Ninoka.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As his eyes looked on into mine, I knew what he was about to say. "I know you're a fox demon as well… or an ex anyways." He said with a hint of interest in his eyes. "Don't ask me how I know, I just do."
I looked down at the ground and then tensed my muscles. I jumped out of his grip, did a back flip, and landed next to the door in my defense stance. "I will disregard your statement and ask, how did you find out?" I asked with a sudden burst of anger. How dare he be spying on me, I thought, how else would he know?
"When I couldn't sense you until after our first kiss, I knew you weren't full human. From then until now, I've been watching you carefully, seeing if you could do things normal humans can't. Then, last night, after our walk back to you place from the "Pizza Joint", I sensed you walk into your house and climb to the roof. I was about to ignore it because a lot of people like to go up on theirs, but then I sensed you jumping from one to the next with in-humane speed. I started to follow you on the roof tops and saw you do tricks in between each jump no one else could do. Then on your last jump, I saw you stand on the edge of one roof and there it was, a fox's tail."
I narrowed my eyes at him and relaxed a bit. "From the beginning," I started, "I knew you were no ordinary human either. It wasn't that bad knowing I wasn't the only one. After that kiss, I had a dream that night. I couldn't believe what I saw and when I woke up, I knew it was real. You were one too Kurama. Don't think I wouldn't find out either."
He sighed deeply. "Yes, I knew you'd find out eventually, it's just that I was hoping I'd be the one to tell you."
"Why? So you could make up lies?" I said while standing up straight and crossing my arms over my chest. "Or a least try to?"
"No, so I could ease into my question I want to ask you. Since you know now, I think now is the best time. Why are you here?"
I silently stared at him and thought that that was a stupid question. He must've known what was going through my mind even without having to read me. "You heard my question. Why are you here? Every demon that has come forth into this world has a reason and I want to know yours."
I looked down again, knowing that I couldn't fool him any longer. As I walked past him towards his bed, I grabbed his hand and sat him down next to me on it. "I was caught." I started slowly. "Me and my partner were caught while trying to steal the Oracle of Black Chaos from Koenma father's vault and we were caught. We had already had the Orb of Revealing Light and so all we needed was the opposite and we'd get our world destruction. That was all I thought of back then, how the world treated my like crap and how I'd get revenge on it. Then I met another just like me who wanted the same, so we joined forces. When we were caught, the main guards went after him while I got away. One of the powerful guards came after me though, and I was attacked as well. My power slowly drained from me as I ran away, until I barely had enough energy to stand. I decided to chance it and I used up the last of my energy to transport my spirit into this world and to plant myself into a female of this race who was pregnant with a daughter. This happened about fourteen, fifteen, years ago. As I grew up, my powers developed, but they aren't as strong as they used to be. My features are also different; I can disguise myself by turning my ears and tail invisible to the human eye and pass as a "normal" person. I won't ask you for your story because I already dreamt it." I finally finished.
I looked at Kurama and saw the most unexpected thing in his eyes. It was like a mixture between amusement and of understanding. "I don't see what's so funny." I said haughty.
"Well, your story sounds just like mine… What was your demon name?"
"Oh, so now you're gonna question my being too?"
"No, I just want to know it."
With a sigh, I said, "It was Yoma Ninoka."
"I knew it!" he nearly screamed out. "We were thieving… how do you say, buddies." I stared at him as he continued on rambling thinking about my "thieving buddy". No, I thought, this can't be the one Yoko Kurama… I've never seen Kurama talk this much before. I think that something finally excited himself and that he could finally share his past with someone else was probably what sparked his flame. I just gaped at him as he kept on going, I never knew a guy could talk that much, then again, maybe that's why he's been so quiet for so long. As I shrugged the feeling off of me, I snapped back and placed my finger over his lips and "Ssshhh'd" him. He looked at me and blushed, finally realizing that he had been rambling on for the last ten minutes without a breath.
I giggled at this. He was so cute when he blushed. "You must promise you won't tell anyone this. The walls have ears and they will forever know, and so will you, but if this gets out, I might have to do something I will regret." He looked at me with that surprised look, wondering how I could've ever said such harsh words. "I don't want to tell you this, but since you know everything else, I might as well. I know a demon gang that also knows about the Oracle of Black Chaos and the Orb of Revealing Light and their powers. I've joined the gang, and since my powers can still sense the Orb, they need me to track it down. They've already stolen the Oracle, so if Botan or anyone comes to you, I'm begging you to deny you know anything. I have a plan that you will need to trust me on Kurama… Please? Trust me?"
I stared into his eyes. This time, I couldn't read what they were holding, so I prayed that he'd agree… just this once.
