Kurama went to spirit world and to Koenma's office where the rest of the team sat. "What took you so long?" Yusuke asked. "I was out doing things." Kurama replied. "With who?" Kuwabara asked getting a goofy grin on his face. "Not that my personal life is any of your business... but Jessica." Kurama replied. "Well boys I would like to inform you... we completely lost the girls." Koenma said sadly. "What?!?" everyone besides Hiei screamed. "They have vanished from the U.S." Hiei said calmly. "But I did some research on panther demons and there are none left living at least." Koenma said. "You have to be wrong, we all saw her with our own eyes." Yusuke said. "There is no possible way for a living panther demon." Koenma said. With that he dismissed the boys and everyone went home. Hiei went with Kurama because he wanted to check on something on his computer. That whole night he stayed up looking through all the panther demons ever and found one way there might be one left. Around one o' clock in the morning he came across a panther demon named Akara.

Hiei raced into Kurama's room and woke him up and showed him what he found. "Well Hiei, I think we found our girl." Kurama said smiling. "Good job." He added. "Should I inform Koenma?" Hiei asked. "We'll wait for tomorrow." Kurama said and went back to bed. Hiei sighed and climbed out a window. He walked towards the park and sat in a tree once arriving there. He tried to fall asleep but he couldn't. He closed his eyes and sat there when suddenly he felt a presence coming closer towards him. His eyes shot open and he looked around to see no one. Finally he looked down and saw Nikkila Johnson leaning against the tree he was in. She was sitting hugging her legs tightly to her chest and looking up at the night sky. She had a glazed over look in her eyes and as Hiei looked into her eyes he saw longing and sorrow. He knew then she must have suffered through so much to hold so much pain behind her eyes. Hiei lowered his eyes thinking about his own suffering and almost dozed off until he heard Nikkila getting up. He looked down and saw her walking out of the park but not before looking up at the sky one last time. He decided to follow her and he followed her all the way back to her house. He sat in the tree by her window as she collapsed on her bed. He looked through and something about this girl seemed so familiar. He watched as she un-bandaged her arm and took something out of her drawer. He was confused about what she was doing but soon realized after he saw her cut herself and saw the blood flow freely from her arm. He put his hand on the window and watched her walk to the bathroom. Nikkila went to the bathroom and ran her arm under warm water. She dried it with a towel and was getting ready to wrap the wound but it still bled. "Hm... it normally stops by now." She thought and dabbed it with the towel again. The wound wouldn't stop bleeding so she just wrapped it ignoring the fact blood was quickly seeping through the wrapping. She sighed and wrapped it a couple more times. She smirked thinking it worked and went into her room. She lay down on her bed but with her wounded arm across her chest. She closed her eyes and was almost asleep until she felt a warm liquid on her chest. Nikkila realized she cut herself to deep and was bleeding out. "Fuck." She said as she unwrapped the wound. Blood was flowing everywhere and she was panicking a little. She began to run to the bathroom but felt light headed. "Oh no." she thought as she fell forwards hitting her head on her night table.

Nikkila fell to the ground knocked out with blood now flowing from her head and arm. Hiei who was still watching rushed into the room and to the fallen girl. He rolled her so she was on her back and cleaned out the cut on her head then wrapped it. He then looked at the cut on her arm and realized it was very bad. "Shit." He thought trying to figure out what to do. "I could transfer some powers to her but would her human body be able to handle it?" he thought looking down at her paling face. "It's the only way." He said as he took her in his arms. He closed his eyes and focused on giving her powers. Hiei began slowly glowing red then the glow surrounded Nikkila. When the glow faded Hiei opened his eyes to see the bleeding had stopped. He smirked and wrapped her arm then put her into her bed. Hiei then left out the window and cursed himself. "Why should I care so much about a baka onna? She cut herself maybe she wanted to die, I should have left her." He thought walking down the street. He finally got back to the park and went to the tree he was in before. He noticed he had her blood all over his cloak. He took it off and hung it over the tree branch. "Stupid onna ningen making me pity her." He said aloud but then something came to his attention. Instead of drying a crimson red color like all human blood it dried more of a black color like a demon. "It couldn't be." He thought taking his cloak in his hands. "Is Nikkila a demon?" he asked himself.

The next day Nikkila woke up with a huge headache. She looked herself over and saw she was fine and her wounds were wrapped. "I must have hit my head pretty hard to forget doing this stuff." She thought as she cleaned the blood. It was Saturday so she didn't have to go to school. Once she finished cleaning the blood she unwrapped her head to see the wound there last night was now only a scar. "That's great, another scar for the record." She thought making her way to the living room. She found a note on the fridge and took it in her hands.

Hey Nick,

Morning sleepy head! I am going out with Kurama today... I am going to try to get him to tell me about his job, you know to see if we can get any information on their case against us. I heard a lot of banging last night... is everything ok? Oh well I should be back around noon-ish.

Maritsa

Nikkila crumpled the paper and threw it onto the counter. She felt really weird, like a fire was burning on the inside of herself. "I wonder what this is?" she thought. She went into her room and got a cd then blasted the stereo to the song Getting Away with Murder by Papa Roach. She began jumping all around singing to the song. There was a knock on the door and she sighed and jumped off the coffee table. She walked to the door to see Yusuke. "Hey Nick, having fun?" he screamed over the music. Nikkila nodded and smirked. Yusuke took the stereo remote and turned the music down a little bit. "God, you are going to blow up your speakers." He said. "Nah, I haven't done anything like that for a while." Nikkila said thinking about the time she blew up a school bus with her hellfire powers. Yusuke laughed not understanding she meant actually blowing stuff up. "So what do you want?" she asked. "Oh nothing just bored I guess." He said. Nikkila shrugged as the song Broken by Seether came on. "I thought you were listening to Papa Roach." Yusuke said. "It's a mix tape you baka!" Nikkila snapped humming to her favorite song. Yusuke shook his head and plopped down on the couch. "What makes you think you should feel so welcome?" Nikkila said standing in front of him. "Well we are friends..." Yusuke said trailing off. "I don't have friends." Nikkila said glaring at him. "Oh come on, you have me, Maritsa, Kuwabara, Suichi, and I don't know probably tones of other people." Yusuke said putting his feet up on the coffee table. "For one, we are not friends, nor are I friend with Kuwabara or Suichi and for two, Maritsa and I are not friends, we are partners." Nikkila said. Yusuke faked a hurt face and began to laugh. "What's so bad about having friends?" he asked. "They hold you back, they tear you down, and they are a great target for your enemies." Nikkila said. "But there are good things about friends too." Yusuke said. "There are no good things about having friends." Nikkila said sitting on the love seat across from him. "Yes, they cheer you up when you're sad, they have fun with you, they give you a shoulder to cry on, someone to lean on." Yusuke said. "I need no one to cheer me up and I don't cry. I only need myself not anyone to lean on. And fun is waste of time" Nikkila said. "You have some mommy issues don't you?" Yusuke asked. "That is none of your business." Nikkila snapped. "It's better to talk about your feelings than to let them all bottle inside." Yusuke said. "You have your way of life, I have mines, and I have nothing more to say." Nikkila said crossing her arms.

Nikkila gave Yusuke one last look then pointed to the door. "You know Nikkila, you are one piece of work." He said and left a little grouchy. Nikkila rolled her eyes and decided to find Maritsa and Kurama. She went into shadow form and snuck around the town until she got to the park. She saw Maritsa and Kurama on the swings laughing. "Man Suichi, today was a blast!" Maritsa said. "You bet it was Jess." Kurama replied smiling at her. "I feel like I have known you forever and I really trust you with a lot, I mean it's not like you'd lie to me right?" Maritsa said smirking. Kurama felt his smile get swept off his face and he looked to Maritsa. "Listen, Jess, there are some things about me you don't know and I trust you to tell you but... another time." He said. Maritsa furrowed her eyebrows. "What are you gunna tell me you're really a demon in disguise." She said and laughed so he would take it as a joke. Nikkila crept around so she was in the shadow just under them. She was surprised no one felt her there yet. Kurama's eyes widened and he looked over to see Maritsa laughing. "If you only knew." He mumbled. "What did you just say?" Maritsa asked. "Nothing, Jess, but I promise, meet me here at 9:30 where there isn't any chance of someone over hearing us and I'll tell you everything." He said. "Um ok Suichi." She replied smiling. "And just a little heads up, it's Kurama." He said and left. Once he was out of sight Maritsa sighed. "You can come out now Nikkila." She said. Out from the shadows rose the form of Nikkila smirking. "He, he, Man Suichi I had a great time." She said in a fake girly voice. Maritsa playfully pushed her and smiled. "Shut up, I had to make him buy it." She said. "Don't give me your bull, you know you like him." Nikkila said smirking. "Shut up, what the hell, you smell like blood." Maritsa said furrowing her forehead. Nikkila shrugged. "I found the makai." She said. Maritsa shook her head and rolled her eyes. "Dude, go take a shower." She said and walked off. Nikkila glared at her retreating figure and rolled her sleeve up. No doubt it was soaked in blood. Her wound on her arm re-opened for some reason and was bleeding through the wrappings. Nikkila cursed herself and rushed home.

To her misfortune Maritsa got home first and the door was locked. "Maritsa let me in." Nikkila called. "This is pay back for spying on me Nikkila, I have never spied on you but you do it to me all the time, and what!" Maritsa yelled through the door. "I can very easily break this door down." Nikkila said. "I'd like to see you try, I put a spell on it so if a demon tries to come in they get shocked and all their powers are enabled." Maritsa yelled and Nikkila growled. She looked down to see her whole sleeve soaked in blood and it was dripping on the floor. She held her right arm into her body and ran off down the hall. Nikkila got to Yusuke's apartment and reluctantly knocked. He answered in boxers and a white tee shirt and his hair was all messed up. "Well, well, well look who it is." He said crossing his arms and leaning in the door frame. "Look Urameshi, I normally don't ask for help from anyone but I really need to use the bathroom." Nikkila said. Yusuke stifled a laugh. "What's wrong with your bathroom, did Jess take a crap?" he asked. Nikkila glared at him and looked down to her arm then back at him. "What you got there?" Yusuke said trying to see what she was holding. "Nothing, now can I use your bathroom or not?" she asked. "Yeah sure, come on in, don't mind the mess by the way." He said moving aside. Nikkila walked in and ran into the bathroom. "When you gotta go you gotta go." Yusuke thought as he plopped down on the couch. Nikkila slammed the door and locked it behind her. She pulled off her shirt and wrappings and saw her wound was open and bleeding badly. "Shit." She thought looking through his medicine cabinet. She found a first aid kit and dabbed her wound with disinfectant cream. It stung but she didn't flinch then she wrapped her wound with extra gauze to prevent it bleeding through. She sighed and looked down to see the sink and floor was covered in blood. Nikkila was about to start cleaning it up when she heard a knock on the door. "Nikkila are you ok in there?" Yusuke's voice called. "Yeah, just a second." She called rushing to clean the blood. "Are you sure?" he called back. "YES!" Nikkila screamed as she finished cleaning the sink of blood. She then moved on to the floor and it was starting to dry. "Hurry up Nikkila I gotta go!" Yusuke yelled. "There we go!" she said as the floor was squeaky clean. "Now my shirt?" she thought as she ran the sleeve under water. "Nikkila, you better not stink up the bathroom!" Yusuke yelled. "Quiet baka!" Nikkila yelled back. "That's it!" Yusuke yelled and Nikkila watched in horror as the door was kicked down.

Yusuke stood there in shock seeing Nikkila without a shirt. He noticed she had toned rock hard abs, probably from training and nice curves as well. Plus she was just standing there in a bra and he couldn't help but notice she wasn't small. "Yusuke what the hell do you think you're doing?" Nikkila snapped bringing him back into reality. "I could ask you the same question!" he said pointing at her. "That is none of you business." Nikkila stated ripping the entire sleeve of her shirt. She then pulled her shirt back on and sighed. "Are you alright?" he asked noticing her arm. "I am fine, thanks for your help Urameshi, good-bye." Nikkila said and began walking away. Before she got out the door Yusuke grabbed her wounded arm. Nikkila yelped in pain and dropped to her knees squeezing her eyes shut tight. "Let me see just what this wound is." He said. Nikkila pulled her arm away and held it to her chest once again; she could tell it was bleeding again. "I was sitting in a tree last night and when I climbed back in it slammed on my arm." She lied. Yusuke gave her a suspicious look and he could tell she was lying. "Oh yeah, then let me see." He said. "No, it is none of you business!" Nikkila spat getting to her feet. He once again grabbed her arm and this time twisted it behind her back. Nikkila cringed but made not a sound. "You'll be sorry if you look at that wound." Nikkila said threateningly. Yusuke sighed and let her go and she quickly ran out of the apartment. She checked hers and it was still locked so she went to the park again.

Meanwhile all the boys were at Koenma's office waiting for Yusuke to arrive. Finally he ran into the office out of breath. "What took you so long Urameshi?" Kuwabara asked. "I had an unexpected guest come to visit." Yusuke replied collapsing into an armchair. "Alright, now that Yusuke is here, Hiei why don't you tell us what you found?" Koenma suggested. Hiei nodded and stepped out of the shadow. "I was searching through panther demons last name and found one named Akara, she was mated with a shadow demon and had one child but there was no information on that child." Hiei said. "So you think the so called panther demon you all saw is that child?" Koenma asked. Hiei and Kurama nodded and the other two looked interested. "I will try to find out more on this child, so do any of you have any information on the criminals?" Koenma asked and the boys shook their heads. "Is that all pacifier breath?" Yusuke snapped. "Well Yusuke there is one more thing, there are two girls I want you all to look out for, I think something is strange about them, Nikkila Johnson and Jessica Walker." Koenma said. The boys looked up and looked shocked. "We all know them!" Kurama said. "Alright, all the better, notice anything strange about them?" Koenma asked. "Nikkila is always mean and never smiles and her eyes they look... evil." Kuwabara said. "Nikkila came to my house today and had a big wound on her arm and bled all over my bathroom but I didn't see the wound, she told me a window closed on her arm but I think that was a lie." Yusuke said. Hiei looked up but decided to keep his information about Nikkila to himself. "You don't just go around telling people if someone is a cutter." He thought. "Well boys just watch out with them." Koenma said as he dismissed the boys. They all decided to go to the park and train a little since it was close to 8 o' clock no one would be there. They all got there to see a figure sitting under a tree with their head in their hands looking asleep.
