Around 9:25 Maritsa arrived at the park. She looked around just in case Nikkila was there but she didn't sense her friend anywhere. Maritsa sighed and sat down on the swings waiting for Kurama to get there. Finally after ten long minutes of waiting Kurama came in to view. "Suichi!" Maritsa called jumping up and running over to him. "Hey, sorry I'm a little late." He said as they sat down together. "It's alright, so umm Kurama... what are these secrets?" she asked smirking. "Well Jess, you have to understand no matter what I tell you, I'm still the same guy." He said and Maritsa nodded looking intently into his eyes. "Well you see my real name is Youko Kurama. I am a spirit fox that lived in the makai until I was badly wounded by a bounty hunter. I took refuge in an unborn child and was born as Suichi Minamono. I fully healed and couldn't leave because I cared for my human mother too much. When I was living in the makai I was a thieve and took everything I needed. So a couple years back I met with Hiei and another demon called Gouki and we stole very important artifacts from Koenma, ruler of spirit world. Yusuke and Kuwabara stopped us and now we have to work as spirit detectives along side Yusuke and Kuwabara, Gouki however died when he fought Yusuke." Kurama said and sadly looked away. "Act surprised." Maritsa thought to herself as she forcefully widened her eyes in shock. "You mean you're a demon?" she asked sounding shocked. Kurama nodded and she gasped. "That means, Hiei, Kuwabara and Yusuke are demons too?" she asked. "Well Hiei is, he is fire and ice, known as the forbidden child, Yusuke is half shadow demon and Kuwabara is a spirit awareness human." Kurama said. "Oh my god!" Maritsa exclaimed. "I know it's hard to believe but you have to trust me Jess." Kurama said. Maritsa sighed, "I trust you Kurama it's just a little bit shocking." She said. Kurama pulled her into a tight hug. "Thanks Jess." He said. She pulled back a little and smiled. "No problem." She said. Kurama then leaned in a little and Maritsa followed suit. Their lips met and then Maritsa pulled away fast. "I'm so sorry." Kurama said. "No it's ok, I just, remembered... I have to go meet Nikkila. Sorry Kurama." Maritsa said as she stood up and ran out of the park.
Kurama watched as she ran away and sighed to himself. Nikkila stood on a tree branch leaning against the trunk of the tree. She shook her head and watched as Maritsa ran away. "Time to try out my new form." She thought as she turned herself into a small black cat with green eyes. She smirked to herself and jumped down from the tree while masking her spirit energy. She strutted over to Kurama and sat in front of him looking up at him. "Why hello there little guy." Kurama said reaching out to pet her. Nikkila swatted at his hand with her claws and he pulled back holding a tiny wound. "Oh, sorry are you a girl?" Kurama asked chuckling to himself. Nikkila meowed at him and brushed against his leg against her better judgment. "So I guess you saw that whole thing with my friend huh girl?" Kurama said. Nikkila meowed at him and sat down looking at him once again. "Who talks to a cat?" she thought to herself not really paying attention to what he was saying. "Well I like her a lot but I think I might have freaked her out, sometimes I really just hate what I am." Kurama said and sighed. Nikkila was snapped back into reality when she heard a ringing. Kurama smiled and pulled out his communications mirror. Nikkila jumped onto his shoulder to see what was happening. "Hey Kurama, where are you?" Yusuke asked. "I'm at the park." Kurama replied smirking at Nikkila's position on his shoulder. "Dude, what's with the cat?" Yusuke asked noticing what Kurama was smirking at. "She's my new little friend Yusuke." Kurama replied. "Anyways, Koenma needs you here right away." Yusuke said. "Alright, see you soon." Kurama replied as both boys hung up. "Sorry girl but I have to go." Kurama said putting her down and starting to walk away. Nikkila ran up to him and meowed. "I have to go girl." Kurama said again but Nikkila still followed him. "Alright you can come but keep this place a secret." Kurama said with a wink as he picked her up. Kurama took Nikkila to spirit world with him and went into Koenma's office. She set her down and the other guys looked at him with smirks on their faces.
"Ok better watch what I think, Hiei can read minds, ok just put a block up around my mind." Nikkila thought as she situated herself on the armchair. "Why did you bring that fleabag?" Hiei asked. Nikkila looked to him and hissed. "She didn't want me to leave so I brought her along." Kurama replied. Kuwabara then sat on the floor in front of the armchair looking at her. "She's so adorable!" he stated and Nikkila raised an eyebrow. Kuwabara reached forward and began scratching behind her ear. Nikkila was ready to swat his hand away but instead she started purring. "Ok enough cat business, I've found out some interesting facts about the child." Koenma said. Nikkila jumped away from Kuwabara so she could listen. "Wow, it's nice to be in spirit world and not being sent to jail." Nikkila thought. "Alright well after Akara and her mate had the child they sent her to America so she wouldn't be in danger." Koenma said. "Oh my God, why are they talking about me?" Nikkila thought. "Shortly after the child's parents were slaughtered. I can't get anything else besides she's a girl." Koenma said. "Damn straight." Nikkila thought proudly. "A girl demon in America." Yusuke thought aloud. "That's right Urameshi, but I think you mean the best demon in America." Nikkila thought looking towards Yusuke. "Well she's not in America anymore, I did a check up on all demons in America and there are zero panther demons and one shadow demon but that is a male." Koenma said. "So where did she go?" Kurama asked. "Hm, I wonder?" Nikkila thought. "I don't know, I am busy doing demon scans on the rest of the world, I'll have the results tomorrow." Koenma replied. "Anything else important?" Hiei asked. Koenma shook his head and the boys all sighed. "Time to go." Nikkila thought getting to her feet. She looked around the room and her eyes rested on a window. She got up and jumped on the windowsill and looked outside. It was a pretty long drop but she could handle it. The boys were talking again so they wouldn't notice if she just used her nose and pushed the window open. After Nikkila did that she made a little hole in the screen with her claws. She poked her head through and then Kurama noticed. "No girl no!" he yelled but Nikkila was gone, she jumped out and landed oddly on her back leg. "Shit." She thought as she scrambled into the shadows. All four boys rushed to the window and watched her run under a bush. They all ran outside and started looking for her but Nikkila had already went into shadow form and was getting away. She came to a tree and sat on the branch still in shadow form. "Now where to go?" she thought as she walked through the forest now in cat form again. "There she is!" Yusuke yelled and began running towards her. Nikkila hissed and ran deeper into the woods. The boys chased her for hours until they finally gave up. "Well she'll surely die out there." Hiei said as they stood in a clearing watching her run away. "She's a fighter; I bet Koenma will find her in a week." Kurama said.
Nikkila made sure they weren't following her and went into her human form. She yawned. "They sure know how to wear a girl out." She thought as she found the portal to ningenkai. Nikkila went through and slowly slumped back to her apartment. The door was locked again so she leaned her back against it and fell asleep. A couple hours later Yusuke and Kuwabara walked through the hall towards Yusuke's apartment and saw Nikkila. "She's so cute when she's not bitching." Kuwabara said jokingly. Yusuke smiled, "She told me before Maritsa locked her out, I guess she still did huh?" he said looking to Kuwabara who nodded. "So should we just leave her here?" he asked. "Nah, come on, we'll bring her to my apartment." Yusuke suggested picking her up bridal style. Nikkila didn't wake up or move so Yusuke smirked and carried her to his apartment. Once in Yusuke set Nikkila down on the couch and him and Kuwabara went to his room.
A couple hours later Nikkila shot up on the couch. "Where am I?" she thought looking around. She recognized the place but she couldn't really tell where she was. She swung her feet over the couch and rubbed her eyes. "Isn't this Yusuke's apartment?" Nikkila said aloud. She stood up as Yusuke and Kuwabara walked into the room.
