Nikkila walked through the park and through the woods. She was in front of the portal to Spirit World when Hiei landed in front of her. "Well hello Nikkila." He said wearing a mocking smirk on his face. "Move." She demanded plainly giving him a threatening look. "You may scare the fox, you may scare the detective, and you may scare the ningen but as for me… I am not afraid." Hiei said putting his hand on the hilt of his kantana. "You aren't very smart are you Jagenshi?" Nikkila spat. Hiei raised his hand and back handed her hard leaving a red mark on her cheek.
Nikkila eyed him in rage and unsheathed her kantana. "You've just messed with the wrong demon." She snapped. "You are no demon for demons do not hide as ningens!" Hiei spat. Nikkila shot him an evil glare as he unsheathed his own kantana. She stood still in her fighting stance and glared at her. "Got nothing to say Nikkila?" Hiei spat mockingly. "Why waste my time playing your little games when I could be killing you." She spat back shifting from her left foot to her right foot.
Before she saw what was going on Hiei was gone. She still sensed him around and she expected him to be fast but not that fast. Her eyes shifted but she remained calm. "Show yourself Jagenshi!" she yelled through the clearing. She heard a laugh pierce through the clearing and felt a pain in her stomach. She looked down to see the blade of a kantana sticking out of her stomach. She saw blood pour from her own body and she dropped her own kantana from her hand. Hiei twisted his kantana while it was still inside of her and watched Nikkila fall to her knees.
He pulled it out and let out a laugh. Nikkila was on the floor on her hands and knees with blood pouring from a large wound in her stomach. Hiei continued to laugh and didn't notice Nikkila's hand inch towards her own kantana on the ground. She grasped her bloody fingers around its hilt and in the blink of an eye was on her feet again. She slashed the blade at Hiei and it left a deep cut across his shoulder just barely missing his neck. "Someone's stubborn." Hiei said as he ripped his torn shirt off. Nikkila let a growl escape her throat and glared at him. In another blink of an eye he was gone. She was readying herself for a surprise attack when she heard footsteps.
Nikkila looked through the clearing and saw Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama run into the clearing. She glared and them and turned towards the portal where Hiei stood. "Move Jagenshi!" she demanded forcefully. Hiei shook his head with a confident smirk playing on his lips. Nikkila sheathed her kantana and sighed in frustration. "Surrender?" Yusuke yelled. "Never." Nikkila replied. She ran forward and flipped over Hiei and landed on her feet in front of the portal.
She was about to jump through but felt two hands wrap around her waist. She fell to the ground in pain clutching her stomach. "What happened?" Kurama asked looking at his now bloody hands. Nikkila looked up at them all and they weren't quite paying attention to her. She let herself slip into her panther form and got to her feet. A loud moan of pain escaped her as she collapsed onto her side. The boys watched her in shock as she went back into human form breathing heavily. "Hiei Koenma won't be happy if she dies." Yusuke said. "I'm not dying fool!" Nikkila snapped. She could barely see straight now and couldn't make out the voices around her. She felt herself floating in the air and saw a bright light. Then everything went black and Nikkila's last thought was, "So this is death?"
"Ok then tough girl get up!" Kuwabara demanded. Nikkila didn't respond to him and the other boys sighed. "Don't be stubborn onna." Hiei demanded. Yusuke sighed and picked her up bridal style. "Let's get her to Koenma's." he said as he noticed blood still pouring from her. They all nodded and went through the portal.
Once at Koenma's office Yusuke set her down to see his shirt was covered in blood. Nikkila was very pale and her breathing was short. "She won't make it." Botan said sadly. "We have to get her into her demon form, George fetch me the shot." Koenma demanded. "What?" the boys all said in unison. "There is a certain shot that will put her into her demon form." Koenma said as George scurried out of the office. "Will she survive?" Yusuke asked. "Probably, I did a back up check on her; she's the other thief, the baby panther demon… high S class too." Koenma said. The boys nodded and Botan intently watched Nikkila.
George scurried back into the room and handed Koenma the shot. Koenma walked over to Nikkila's limp body and placed the needle into her arm letting a reddish liquid go into her body. They all watched a black light surround her as she changed into her demon form. The blood stopped flowing as much and turned a black color. Botan let out a sigh when they heard Nikkila release a moan. She sat up and cringed in pain. "Morning sunshine." Yusuke said sarcastically.
Nikkila jumped to her feet and reached for her kantana. She looked at her waist to see no weapons. "What have you taken?" she snapped. "Everything." Koenma replied sternly. Nikkila glared at them and looked over her wound. "Great job asshole." She snorted towards Hiei. "I thought so too." He replied nastily. She glared and they all heard screaming. Everyone ran over to the window to see an army of panther demons. They were charging and screaming. "Give us the princess!" one called. "She will not be prisoner." Another yelled. "Panthers will rise." Another screamed. Nikkila smirked. "Time to go." She said and ran out of the office.
She dodged guards and made it out through the back with Yusuke hot on her tail.
