Time Lapse ::
During the next week, Kurama and Misha hung out a lot. Yusuke and Kuwabara were spotting the city for green eyed girls. Hiei was almost never seen but he was silently tracking Kurama and Misha around, he is suspicious of them. And of course, they all went to school. End Time Lapse!

Some day during the week :: Afternoon ::

Kurama and Misha were having ice cream. Misha had just finished her ice cream, Kurama has been finished, when she spots a clothing store. "Hey Kurama?" She pointed and he looked.

"Ok." They entered it. Now, to be clear, she doesn't usually shop and is not a shop-a-holic, she likes to go and try on stuff. Like me on Gaia.

She picked out a nice red, medium-length shirt and a black thick-cloth skirt that went almost to her ankles. She went into a dressing room and put them on. She had also picked up a hair tie and tied her hair up. She then opened the door to the dressing room to show Kurama how it looked.

"Beautiful." He complimented as she spun around. He noticed as she was spinning that there was something on her right wrist. He grabbed her wrist and stopped her spin.

"What's wrong Kurama?" She noticed his eyes were determined and set. He then turned her arm to where he could see her wrist and she gasped silently noticing this and remembered why she only tried these things on and never came out of the dressing room with them on. He looked at it for about a second before it began glowing and she pulled it back and held it with her left hand.

"What is that Misha?" She went and quickly paid for the clothes and got her stuff, then ran out of the store. "Misha!" Kurama said following her out of the store, leaving a much confused lady at the counter.

Misha ran down the street and towards her house. She stopped in front of her house but quickly continued on. "He'll probably look for me there." She ran downtown, where most of the thugs lived, on the way she somehow managed to pass both Yusuke and Kuwabara's houses. She ran through downtown and into an alleyway and fell to her knees in the dead end.

"Damn, I forgot all about this stupid jewel." She leaned against the wall of one of the buildings and looked at her wrist. The jewel was not glowing anymore, which meant she'd lost him. She sighed but then heard a crack as if someone had just stepped on something.

"Hey there. You look tired. Come with us and we'll give you a place to stay." It was a gang of unruly looking teenagers. The leader walked closer and she quickly jumped up and got ready for him. "Look guys, she's a fighter." He laughed and signaled his boys to attack. Which they did.

She fought them off for a while and then one of them hit her especially hard in the gut. She fell down and looked up at them as they closed in. "Now I'm...starting to wish I hadn't run away from Kurama. I'm gonna get killed, or otherwise..." As if on cue her wrist began to glow and it got really bright. She held it away from her and looked away, the light was hurting her eyes.

When the light dimmed out she looked and saw that many of the gang, meaning all but the boss, had been knocked out. She blinked at them and the boss backed up.

"W-What are you?" He turned and ran away. She looked at the ground and it looked as though she was going to cry. She didn't though, instead she got up and walked out of the alleyway. She went to a run down looking store. At the counter was an old man.

"Good Afternoon young lady, can I help you?" He asked politely.

"Maybe. Do you have any wrist guards?" She asked. He nodded and pulled out a box. It had many different colors of wrist guards. She picked a blue one and put it on, keeping her jewel hidden from the man.

"They come in pairs." She was a little surprised but picked up another blue one and put it on the left wrist.
She paid for them and left. "Well, at least there is one decent person downtown..." She mumbled.

"One good reason you shouldn't be down here." She jumped and looked at the roof of the store.

It was Hiei. He jumped down and glared at her. "Hi H-Hiei...what's up?"

"Your coming with me." He said as he walked behind the building. She followed him slowly. As soon as they we behind the building Hiei picked her up...kinda, and they were off.

Back With Kurama
Kurama was looking around for Misha.

"Misha! Misha where'd you go? Misha!" He was looking around town, he'd already been by her house. He turned around to see Hiei there with Misha.

"I believe your looking for this." He said, putting her down and disappearing. Misha looked like someone had dropped a 1000 lb weight on her.

"Misha..." He started, but she turned around and faced the other direction. "Misha. Look at me." She shook her head. He sighed and turned her around. "Misha. Let's talk." She tried to turn away but Kurama gently pulled her towards the park (if there wasn't one then there is now).

He sat her on a bench and sat next to her. She was avoiding his eyes. He was sitting on her right side so he picked up her wrist. She tried to pull it away but he held firmly. He took of the wrist guard.

"Misha. What is this?" He asked.

Misha sighed and looked at it. "I'm not really sure, it's been there for as long as I can remember." Kurama let her wrist go. "My mom said that people might think I was strange if they saw it, so to protect me she told me never to let anyone know about it." She laid her hands in her lap.

Kurama looked at her with both curiosity and comfort. He was about to speak when Misha spoke.
"Kurama?"

"Yes?"

"Ever since I overheard your conversation. I've, I've wondered about myself. How much the demon girl and myself were alike. Hiei said he'd sensed it since the day after your birthday, which is my birthday. And she has green eyes." She seemed quite upset. Kurama put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry so much. Everything will be alright. Even if you are this demon girl we are looking for, though I doubt it, you shouldn't be worried." She seemed to take comfort in this, but she wasn't fully sure.
She stood up and looked at Kurama, her eyes still brimming with unshed tears.

She smiled at him, "Well, I should be going now. My mom is probably worried." She started to walk off. She turned around, "Bye Kurama!" She turned around and continued on.

He waved slightly, "Bye!"
