Chip 3! Demon Troubles

After Matari explained everything that happened, she and Maharba departed for home. Hiei and Kurama then decided to find a private place to talk.

" Both girls seem to have separated their spirit and demon energy's so they can activate them whenever they please." Kurama said to Hiei.

" How can you be sure?" Hiei asked, skeptical. " Separating demon and spirit energy is a difficult task. How do you know both of them are able to do so?"

" You have a point." Kurama admitted. " Matari doesn't seem to be able to control her demonic powers yet. She is able to control her spirit energy very well though."

" Judging by the spirit energy arrow she was able 2 create, she must have great control over her spirit energy. Her demonic powers are great, yes, but she is unable to control her powers once they become active." said Hiei.

" Maharba seems to be able to control both." Kurama said. " In the park she showed me her demonic self. She was able to keep the power in check without losing control. Her spirit energy seems to be at a high level. As for how well she controls it . . . we'll have to find out." Kurama walked into his house and Hiei headed where ever.

The next day Matari walked to school as she always did. She knew something or someone, was watching her. But she decided it would be fun just to play along. After all, what good would it do her if she took down this person in brod daylight? It would scream supernatural. She didn't need everyone to know she was a demon, not to mention wasting here spirit energy so early in the morning. No way was she that stupid. She went throughout the whole day with this person following her. The person watched even during school. He/She seemed to be following her from outside the building. ' Whoever this person is, their not hiding their demonic powers very well.

As she walked home she sighed. ' Just what I needed . . . ten tons of homework!' she looked up at the sky. ' Ah well, I'll have it done in a matter of minutes.' Someone suddenly threw a sharp object at her. She was able to jump out of the way and catch the object before heading for cover behind a brick fence. She was able to catcha couplemore that were thrown at her.

' Spears! To bad I don't have my bow. Only rookie bow users have spears. I would blow this guy out of his hiding place and kill him if only I had my bow. Lets see . . .' she looked around trying to find something she could use to fend this person/demon off. There were some rocks, leaves, twigs, a log . . . the leaves and log would work well. She looked over at the person that had been spying on her all day was. She knew he was still there. ( The person who has been spying on her is NOT shooting spears at her.) 'If your who I think you are then I won't have anything to worry about will I?'

' Show me what you got.' came Hiei's telepathic reply.

' I thought that was you.' she told him. She ran over to the log and collected some leaves. She put some of her spirit energy into both items and went into battle. The demon that was shooting spears at her was hiding in a bush a safe distance away. Fortunately, she could use the brick fence she was hiding behind to get closer to the demon. She began to slink along the fence. She focused her spirit energy on the log. It turned into a bow. She smiled. ' If this is my bow then maybe . . .' She focused on the leaves now. They gathered together and formed an arrow.

"Yes!" she said happily. She jumped onto the fence top and fired the arrow. It hit the demon directly on target. It let out a yell of pain. The leaves split apart and the log turned back to its original shape. " Nice thing about that is its good for the environment and it didn't take a lot of spirit energy." Hiei was still following her even though he hadn't jumped down from the tree. She continued home.

When she got there she said " Do ya want to come in? Or would you rather stay out here?"

' I think you know the answer to that.' he retorted.

"Alright, whatever you say. If ya need anything my room's on the first floor, farthest room from this enterance." she said walking in and closing the door behind herself.

Maharba had a demon to fight that day as well. During her lunch period she sensed a demon . She looked around trying to find out where it was. But there was so much activate going on in the room that she couldn't center in on the source of it. ' Oh well,' she thought 'not like I could do anything about it right now anyway. Too many people around.'

The next class period she sensed it again. It was stronger this time but, she still couldn't figure out where it was. ' Damn it! Not only is it disturbing my nap time but I still can't figure out where it is.' She looked around yawning. ' Who here was also in my lunch period?' There was a boy she recognized and a group of preppy girls also.( Maharba doesn't like preps. They annoy her a lot.) Other then the teacher that had just walked in to speak with her teacher, no one else. She ruled out the boy. He had been on the other side of the cafeteria the whole time. That also excluded 2 of the 5 preps. This left the teacher and the other 3 preps.

When the demonic aura was gone she looked up.' Ohhh . . . Now I get to beat a teacher. I hoped that I would be able to beat 1 of the preps. Hmmm . . .' She began to plan. ' This is going to be fun.' she thought with a sinister smile.

" Excuse me, sir," she said running towards the teacher. School had finished. The teacher turned and looked at her.

" Yes?" he said. Maharba let him sense her demonic power for a second. It caused him to look about.

" What is it sir?" she said acting sweet and innocent.

" Its nothing. Now, tell me what you want. I'm very busy you know."

" Yes, but there's a fight going on outside and I was being a good little citizen and reporting it." ' I don't think that was very convincing,' she thought,' This really isn't my thing. Matari is much better at this than I am.'

" Well, we better go break it up then." he said. Maharba let him sense her demonic power again. Once again he looked about trying to find the source. Maharba pretended not to notice anything.

" I'll lead you there if you like." she said, trying to sound as innocent as she could.

" Lead the way." Maharba lead him through the back doors. Every so often she let the impostor sense her demonic power, but only for a second. He would look about and not know she was leading him into a trap.

" This way." she said. There was a small woods and a creek behind her school. She decided it would be the best place to fight him. No one would be able to see her become a demon or see their teacher getting beaten up by a student. (although she was certain they would have liked to watch.) She again unmasked and masked her demonic powers. The teacher looked around , bewildered. She smiled grimly. ' This is sooo much fun. I guess this is far enough away.' She looked back at the confused teacher. 'Just wait, fool. The real fun is about to begin.' The man was angry and losing his temper so she was positive he was being controlled by a demon. She stopped.

" Where is the fight at!" he demanded.

" Ohhh . . . don't worry. It's about to begin. Stay here, I'll go find where it is." she said running off. She slunk behind a tree near by. Her tail, ears, claws, and fangs appeared. Her close changed too. Her jeans turned into a pair of black pants. Her black shirt turned silver.

" Hey! If this is a joke you have a detention!" She heard the teacher shout. ' Yep. This is definitely a demon.' she thought. The teacher's voice sounded much too evil and confident to be a human. She cleared her throat and walked out of her hiding place.

"Come out of the human, demon! This is a demon fight so come out or be forced out."she said. Her voice had changed a bit. An evil smile spread across the demon's face.

" Hump. You going to make me!" he demanded.

"Okay if you want to be a wimp . . ." she began with a shrug.

"WHAT!"

" Well look at yerself. Hiding behind a human. Its pathetic. Maybe I should leave you. This seems like a waste of my time." she said turning around to leave. It became infuriated by her words.

"Alright, you want a fight! You'll get a fight!" It said jumping out of the teachers mouth. Maharba turned around but the demon was no where in sight. She lowered her head until she saw it. It was about the size of a bee! ' No wonder he was controlling the teacher. He's so puny I could step on him.' She bent down and picked him up. She went to get her backpack and put him into one of the smaller pockets in it. Her clothing changed back and she got rid of her ears, claws, fangs, and tail. Then she headed home.

Boton showed up when she was half way home.

" Hi Boton." she said boredly. " Got somethin' for ya." she pulled out the demon.

" I'll take him to spirit world." she said as she jumped on her broom. " By the way, can you act a little more interested in this? Its-"

" I know, I know! It just gets dull once in a while, thats all." Boton flew away.

That night Maharba and Matari went out to train again. They had some demon trouble, but they we're able to beat them easily.

" So we both had some demon trouble?" Matari commented. " Interesting . . ."

" Yeah. The demons we've been fighting are low ranked and not very intelligent. There's no way they're getting these things done on their own." Matari looked over at her, wondering what she meant. " No, these demons are too dim witted. Someone's controlling them."

" This could get interesting very quickly." Matari commented smiling.
