Chapter 2: Another Demon

Hotaru began walking as she got farther from the shops.

She took out the Pocky, & smiled. She began nibbling on it happily, not paying any attention until a hand grabbed her shoulder & forced her into an alley.

The Pocky box dropped as she was pressed against a wall. She swallowed the last bit of the stick she had been eating, gulping.

"I was wondering when I'd see you next, Hotaru."

Hotaru trembled slightly as intense red eyes stared into her green ones. Two hands tightened on her shoulders, pressing her against the bricks.

"I... I didn't mean to..." she said, her eyes wide in fear.

"I know," was the answer.

She felt one fist let go of her shoulder, & watched helplessly as it reared back. It flew towards her, & opened its palm.

"Now, pay me back the money you owe."

The girl smiled slightly, & laughed nervously.

"Well, see, the problem is I don't have any, Ayamu-san."

The girl scowled, rolling her eyes.

"I can't keep lending you money if you're not going to pay me back," she said.

"Yeah you could!" she said. "See, that's what best friends are for, Ayam-"

The girl grabbed her by the collar, noticing her futile attempts to run off.

"I could just... burn you," she said, her red eyes agleam.

"Uh... uhh..." the girl said, a nervous smile flashing across her face.

The girl dropped her.

"I love doing that," she said. "It scares you so much."

"You... you mean you weren't going t-" Hotaru sat, her hands placed behind her. She stayed quiet for a good few minutes before replying "Damn." She crossed her legs & looked up. "You're a demon, you know that?"

The girl just smiled, pulling her black hair into a ponytail, the white tips of it gleaming in the light.

"As are you," she said. "Your point?"

The girl sighed & started scratching her ears. "You know, it really is getting annoying," she said. "Staying in this human form & all. It makes me sick to my stomach."

"It makes me sick just seein' ya," the girl muttered, rubbing her fingers along the hilt of the sword at her side. "Why do you choose to use that form in the first place?"

Her green eyes focused upwards once more. "Because I don't wanna go around this wasteland in demon form. Do you know how wierd I'd look?"

Ayamu paused for a moment. "I thought you loved sticking out of the crowd."

"I do!" Hotaru said, slamming her hands on the ground. "You just don't get how wierd it'd look."

"Speaking of crowds," the girl said, smirking. "Was that your yelling I heard not too long ago?"

There was a bit of silence. "Why did you have to have such damn good ears?" she asked.

The girl laughed. "Why do you want to start such a big scene?"

Hotaru smiled. "I dunno," she said. "Just a convulsion. It was fun though."

The girl's eyes rolled once more. "How could starting a scene be so much fun?"

"You're just mad because you're never in a crowd."

Ayamu's eyes narrowed, turning her head to the side.

"Someone's coming," she said, putting her hand to her sword. She suddenly ran off to the next direction.

"Hey!" Hotaru cried, noticing the necklace she had been twirling around her finger was gone. "Damn you, Ayamu, give that back!"

"I'll take that as payment," she said over her shoulder, suddenly slowing to a halt. With a leap she was gone.

Hotaru jumped to her feet.

"Ayamu! Don't make me go youkai on you!" she said, pulling her fists up, yelling into nothingness.

"Youkai?"

Hotaru turned suddenly.

"Otou-san!" she said surprised.

"Who were you talking to?" he asked.

"Well, uh-" her stomach interrupted her. "I'm hungry."

Kurama sighed, placing an arm around her shoulder.

"Come on," he said. "Let's get you home."

"Yo Kurama, who is she?"

"Well," he answered. "She is-"

"Otou-san! Look at that baka niigen who just got hit by a car!" the girl yelled, her green eyes wild with excitement. "Oh yeah, pleased to meetcha, mister... mister..."

"Mister Yusuke," Kurama said.
