Houki no Majo!
Chapter 3
---------------
Kitty found the park easily enough.
She landed on the ground, and quickly let her broom disappear before anyone could see. She walked over to a park bench and flopped down onto it.
Ro slowly walked up to her, giving her a questioning look.
"Kitty?"
"Ro, do you think that she knew? I mean, Keiko must've known…that they were part of the Reikai Tantei." The girl said, heaving a sigh.
"Well, she seems pretty close to them, so she probably did." The cat said, jumping up onto the bench and sitting beside her.
Kitty groaned, and let her head lean back over the back of the bench. She watched the clouds float by.
"Maybe they'll be waiting there? I mean, if I go back to Keiko's, they might be waiting with a trap." She said.
"It's always possible. But you left your things there." The familiar mused. "Unless you don't mind leaving that stuff behind."
She groaned again, and sat back up. "No. I can't. Maybe I should go quickly, before they get back."
"That would work. But if you're going to do that, then you'd better hurry."
She nodded, and put the cat onto her shoulder. She summoned her broom, mounted it, then took off into the sky.
---------------
When Kitty arrived at Keiko's house, it was the busy time for the ramen business that her parents owned. She managed to squeeze her way inside, and then ran as fast as she could up the stairs to where her stuff was being stored.
She found the bag, safe and sound, and heaved it onto her back while Ro stood guard by the door.
The witch grinned. "Got everything, Ro."
She jumped when she heard the cat hiss and spun to face the newcomer who held her familiar by his scruff.
"Who are you?!" She exclaimed.
The spiky haired boy snorted, and tossed the cat to the side.
"Ro!" She exclaimed. She glared at the demon. "Who are you, and what are you doing here?!"
"My name is Hiei, and I'm here to make sure that you don't get away." He said calmly.
"You're working with Koenma, aren't you?" She demanded.
He just snorted. "That baka doesn't control me."
She dashed forward and grabbed Ro, before turning back to him.
"Congelo!!" She exclaimed, waving her hand.
Hiei blinked in surprise, and was frozen. Kitty smirked, and started running towards Keiko's window, summoning her broom as she did.
She screamed in surprise when someone grabbed her from behind. Hiei clamped a hand over her mouth, and smirked.
She tried to ask him how he had broken free, when he answered.
"Did you really think that your puny little spells could contain an upper-level demon like myself?" He said, a smirk forming.
She struggled, and Ro jumped off of her shoulder. He hissed, and Hiei narrowed his eyes at him.
"Shut it, cat." He growled.
Kitty kicked at him, and tried to bite his hand. He sighed, and quickly hit her pressure point, knocking her out.
She slumped over into his arms, and he picked her up bridal style.
"Kitty!" Ro exclaimed.
Hiei glared at the familiar. "I'm taking her to Reikai. You either come, or you'll stay here."
The cat reluctantly followed Hiei as he went to the portal.
---------------
Koenma sighed, and rubbed his temples. "Did you have to knock her out?"
Hiei snorted. "She was getting away and struggling."
The Reikai Prince sighed again. "But did you have to knock her out?"
Ro snorted as well. "Exactly. He didn't have to."
The koorime turned and left the room, leaving Just Koenma, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Yusuke in the room with the witch and her familiar.
"So why do you Reikai bastards want my mistress so much?" Ro asked, narrowing his glowing golden eyes at them.
"The leader of the Athena Coven may not be who you think she is. She wants to take over the world - the usual bad-guy stuff." Koenma explained. "We want to take her down, but we need a member of the Coven to enter."
"So you want Kitty to help you?" The cat said, looking over at the girl.
"Yes." Kurama said.
"Do you know that the leader of the Coven is related to Kitty? She may not help you…but I'll let her know." The familiar said.
"Thank you, Roan." Koenma said.
The cat just snorted, and looked back to the sleeping girl.
Kitty…will you actually be willing to take down your own mother? He thought.
---------------
Kurama walked out onto the roof, where Hiei was sitting. He closed the door behind him, and approached his friend.
"Hiei…what do you think?" The kitsune asked.
"About?" He replied, not looking at the redhead.
"About Kitty."
"She's a witch, and she's going to help us take down the leader of her coven." Hiei said.
"That's it?" He asked, sitting beside him.
"What else is there?" He questioned, finally meeting his friend's gaze.
"Well…" He sighed. "I guess that's it."
"Why…? Do you have feelings for her or something, kitsune?" Hiei asked.
Kurama blushed. "N-no! I don't even know her."
"But you think that she's attractive?" Hiei said. It was more of a statement than a question.
Kurama sighed, and looked out over the landscape as well. "She's…attractive, yes. But I can't say that I have feelings for her until I get to know her better."
Hiei just nodded, and stood.
"She should be waking up soon. Let's go see if she'll help us."
