The two girls went back to their house making sure they weren't followed then changed into their human forms. "You never told me you had a brother." Nikkila said eyeing Maritsa suspiciously. "He's not that important, I've hated him forever, I didn't think he would be a threat." Maritsa replied annoyed. "You hate him because..." Nikkila said expecting an answer. Maritsa hesitated, her hands shaking with rage then she turned and looked Nikkila in the eye. Her eyes flashed amber as she sneered. "He is a proud son of the... the... pure scum that raped my mother, I hope Marki dies just like my father did!" Maritsa snapped. Nikkila nodded her head and thought of her parents. She didn't even remember what they looked like; all she remembered was her mother's laugh. It was so mean and cold yet so warm and secure. She looked out the window and Maritsa noticed the glazed look to her eyes. "Thinking about them?" she asked. Nikkila snapped back to reality and her eyes went back to being heartless and cold. "No." she simply replied and walked away. Maritsa ran after her. "They will come looking for us." She said. "Then why don't we go to them?" Nikkila said smirking. "Nick... what are you talking about?" Maritsa asked putting her hands on her hips. "I say we move to Japan, stay in our human forms and find out more about these assholes, plus it will be easier to get to the makai." Nikkila suggested. "I don't know, don't you think they'll find us?" Maritsa asked. "First of all, so what if they do, I can take them all myself and second of all none of them are that smart." Nikkila replied smirking. "Fine, I'll start packing." Maritsa said sighing.
They spent the rest of the weekend packing and moved to Japan. They rented a small apartment and signed up for Saya. Jr. High, under Maritsa's demands. They found out where all the spirit detectives lived and to their misfortune Yusuke Urameshi lived in the same building as them. Kuwabara lived on the other side of town and Kurama lived in the rich part of the neighborhood. Hiei usually slept in the park. It was the morning of their first day of school and Maritsa was in the living room in her uniform tapping her foot impatiently. "Come out right now Nikkila!" she demanded. Nikkila growled from inside the room and Maritsa banged on the door frustrated. "It can't be that bad!" she yelled. "First I have to change my freaking name to Danielle Johnson, I have to remember to call you Jessica Walker and now I have to wear this crap, hell no!" Nikkila snapped. "Actually they never heard your name; you don't have to change it." Maritsa said hoping to provoke her friend out of the room. "Great!" Nikkila yelled. "Now come out." Maritsa persuaded. Nikkila slowly opened the door and walked out in the uniform with her hair in a tight bun at the top of her head. She had on heavy black eye liner, gray eye shadow, and black lipstick. Maritsa burst into laughter and Nikkila growled. Maritsa was in the uniform with her hair down, nice purple eye liner, pink eye shadow, and pink lip stick. "Stupid prep!" Nikkila growled walking past the laughing girl. "Shut up you goth." Maritsa growled. Nikkila gave her a threatening glance as they walked out the door. They walked all the way to the school and saw four familiar faces leaning against the back wall. "Had to come in the back didn't we Nikkila?" Maritsa said angrily. "Come on, JESSICA; don't want to blow our cover." Nikkila snapped and pulled her friend along. They walked past the boys and got checked out. "Who the hell is Suichi?" Maritsa thought aloud. "How should I know...?" Nikkila snapped. "Why does it matter?" she asked. "He's showing us around the school." Maritsa said. "Excuse me ladies, did you mention my name?" Kurama asked walking over. "You're Suichi Minamono?" Maritsa said holding back her laughter.
"Well we are new here and you are supposed to be our tour guide, I'm Jessica Walker and this is Nikkila Johnson." Maritsa said looking Kurama in the eyes. Nikkila smirked and looked to the other boys. They all looked over at her cautiously. "It is safe to come over here." She said then mumbled assholes. Maritsa rolled her eyes and Kurama gave her an odd look. The rest of the boys walked over and Yusuke and Kuwabara smiled while Hiei glared. "Nice make up doll." Yusuke said pointing to Nikkila. Her eyes flashed black as her head shot in his direction. "Don't ever call me doll." She demanded. "Ok..." Yusuke said taking a step back. "I know those eyes from some where." Hiei thought looking at Nikkila. "She has some anger problems, don't mind her." Maritsa said smiling warmly at the boys. Nikkila crossed her arms and rolled her eyes as everyone walked off. The day went on long and Nikkila kept getting in trouble with the teachers. Maritsa did fine though and invited the boys over for a study group. Nikkila and Maritsa were on their way home and Nikkila was in a bad mood. "Stupid school with those baka ningens, I'm not going back!" she snapped. "You have to Nick, people will get suspicious you know." Maritsa said happily. "What are you so happy about?" Nikkila snapped. "I know I shouldn't be thinking this but I think I like Kurama." Maritsa replied and Nikkila looked at her in shock. "Liking the enemy, that's not a very good idea!" she said. They were silent the rest of the way home. Once home Nikkila went right to her room and Maritsa got changed into nice tight fitting jeans and a low cut blouse. She did her homework and cleaned the apartment a little. Within five minutes of the boys' arrival she knocked on Nikkila's door. "Come on out, the boys should be here any minute." Maritsa demanded. She heard a whatever from Nikkila so she situated herself on the couch. Just as there was a knock on the door Nikkila came out of her room in baggy black pants and a black pull over hoodie that said FUCK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY! She plopped down on the couch as Maritsa let the boys in. Yusuke and Kuwabara sat on the floor by the coffee table while Hiei sat by the window. Moments later Kurama and Maritsa came in and sat on the love seat together. Nikkila glared at them both but shook her head looking to the floor.
Maritsa and Kurama started doing more homework while Kuwabara and Yusuke argued about what il gesso means in Italian. Hiei continued staring out the window and Nikkila listened to the boys arguing. "Dude it totally means the wall." Yusuke said. "No way Urameshi, it means pants." Kuwabara said. "You are both bakas, it means the chalk." Nikkila said. "How do you know, you're taking French." Yusuke said. "I lived in Italy for four years bakas!" Nikkila said. "Dude, isn't Nikkila an Italian name?" Kuwabara whispered to Yusuke. "I can hear you moron, and yes it is, I was born there and then sent here then I went back when I turned ten and was there until I was fourteen when I met Jessica." Nikkila said. "I was vacationing in Italy when I met Nick, we became best of friends and I got her to move to America with me and we've been tight ever since." Maritsa said smiling. Nikkila smirked then turned her head again. "So where are your parents?" Kurama asked. "There are none." Nikkila replied still looking at the wall. "What does she mean?" Yusuke asked. "They are dead, my father was killed for raping my mother which resulted in me then she gave me up and she died... that's all I know." Maritsa said. Everyone looked to Nikkila who sneered. "Don't expect my life story." She snapped. "Her parents sent her to America when she was born to protect her from their enemies and they died before they could get her back." Maritsa said. Nikkila glared at her but it wasn't a usual glare. "Listen wench, I could care less if you around telling complete strangers about your personal life but you leave mines out of it you got me and if I hear you are still telling stories about my I'll personally shove my foot so far up your ass you will taste the leather of my boot!" she snarled and stomped into her room slamming the door. Maritsa rolled her eyes. "Aren't you scared?" Kuwabara asked. "No, I get threats from her all the time, especially when I make her interact with people, she never means them, she just gets touchy with the subject we were on." Maritsa said. "Did anyone else notice her eyes?" Yusuke asked. "What about them Yusuke?" Kurama asked. "They were so cold and when she looked at me, I don't know it sent chills up my spine, there is so much emotion there but if you try to take it all in at once its like pure... evil..." he said trailing off. "Aw, come on guys, Nikkila isn't pure evil." Maritsa said but Yusuke looked shaken up and Kuwabara looked scared too. Maritsa looked to Kurama who looked concerned and Hiei didn't have an expression.
The boys and Maritsa studied in almost complete silence for the rest of the night and no one heard from Nikkila. When the boys left Maritsa went and knocked on her door. She didn't get an answer so she went in to see her friend was not there. The window was open and now Maritsa was nervous. Nikkila however was in the tree next to the window in her panther form. "GET IN HERE!" Maritsa yelled. Nikkila just growled and shifted her paws on the branch. "Nikkila if anyone sees you!" Maritsa snapped. Nikkila's one ear went up and then back down again as she ignored Maritsa. "Fine... be that way!" Maritsa yelled and stomped off. Nikkila climbed back in through the window and curled up in a ball in the middle of her bed. She changed into her demon form and sighed stretching her body out on the bed. Her mother's laugh rang through her ears and she sunk her nails into her sheets. "I can't do this anymore... I have to!" she snapped getting up and going into her human form. She made sure her door was locked and searched through her drawer. She found a pocket knife and retracted the blade. She sighed and sliced a long line through the bottom of her wrist to the part where her arm bends. She didn't even flinched but instead she smiled as she watched the blood flow freely from her arm. She made a few more cuts then put the knife away. She collapsed on her bed after bandaging her arm and she soon fell asleep.
