Society of the Living Dead
Disclaimer: Dun own either anime, but the Na and the Kahlu are mine, but Ashe-chan belongs to Bishounen Zoo Keeper!
Summary: As the others!
This one explains kind of Na's power, and what kind of person she is!
Her secret place wasn't that great. It was only a small crypt, with tools that he didn't know how to use. There were some cut up dolls, old stuffed toys, and a chipped tea set. It wasn't very interesting…… He thought she would have something of value here……

Na left the gang in the clearing, walking quickly thru the smoke filled forest. It had been quite a night for her, and surprisingly, left her completely drained of energy. She thought about the last time this had happened, and could only remember one occasion that this had happened. It wasn't a very recent event, so it stayed hidden in her intricate mind.
After a while of walking, she came into a part of town even unknown to the Yu Yu gang. It was a slum of sorts, connected to a long alley that didn't seem to end. The walls of the alley were dark and dingy, covered in absurd symbols, and meaningless graffiti. It smelled of urine, and the ground had an inch or so of a thick, brown slime that clung to everything it touched. She knew how hard it was to clean it off, for she had once fallen into the brown ooze. Na didn't wish to repeat the experience, so she treaded carefully thru the slippery parts of the alley.
It took about 15 minutes to get thru the alley, with a few slips and curses. The alley led out to a gothic gate. The gate looked intimidating, for wrapped around the posts of the fence were ruby eyed gargoyles, dragons, and what seemed like emerald eyed snakes. The handle of the gate was a lion with blue, painted on eyes. They seemed out of place till you got closer. If you just looked at the lions, they would look like the average door knob lion. But these were special. If you got too close, you could see them move their eyes, blink, and even yawn if you didn't do anything.
Her hand closed on one of the lions, a small startled scream coming from its mouth. She ignored it and pulled on the gate. It opened easily, swinging outwards with a small creak. Stepping into the grounds, she pulled the hood of her jacket over her head. It had started raining, covering the grounds with a fine mist.
The house was more of a mansion. Black vines covered most of the walls, every now and then blue and green stained glass windows peeked thru. The bricks were a slate grey, and a huge dungeon like door was centered in the front. The door was similar to the gate, but instead had red swans covering it. The swans, like the lions, were also alive, sealed onto the door with powerful magic.
This was the house of a Magic Detective. One of the true few left. Na had owned the house since she was four, after her grandmother died. Her mother wasn't much of a detective, and she was frowned upon for having a son. Boys apparently didn't make very good Magic Detectives in their blood line. She'd met some male Detectives, but they were quite inept, and today she had actually met the former Spirit Detective! Her day couldn't get any better!
She went thru the red swan doors, walking into a cavernous hall. The hall was also red, but various shades of red. The furniture was made of the finest mahogany, one of the cabinets made of black marble. It was quite a sight, making you feel royal, no matter what the social class.
The parlor was to the left, dining room to the right. But she headed straight, to the stair case, a set of white steps, covered in a star clad blue rug. The going was a bit rough, her legs screaming every step of the way. Her lungs were also complaining, due to it being ice cold in the huge mansion.
Her shoes made a hollow, echoing thud, as they hit the floor. The noise startled her.
Off-key singing could be heard suddenly, coming from a room to the right. It sounded much like "Yankee Doodle", but could be mistaken for "Mary had a little lamb".
"Ashe-chan?" Na murmured to herself, walking towards the noise. Slowly opening the door, she peeked into the bright pink room. To her surprise, a girl was in the room. It was Ashe-chan, her brown, wiry hair pulled into a neat bun. She was wearing a blue china dress, a picture of her favorite bishie in her lap. Her TV was making the noise that Na had heard, but it had been turned off. Ashe jumped as Na opened the door; she was sitting like a deer caught in head lights.
"Na…. Na-chan! I-I… didn't know you would be here so soon…." Stammered the frightened girl. Na just shook her head, walking further into the room. "Pink?" she asked, looking at the hideous fuzzy pink décor.
"I felt cheery today, so I made everything pink! But then I notice that I had forgotten the spell to make it all turn back to normal. Can you help, Na-chan?" pleaded the girl. Na had already started the spell to return everything to its original color, giving a slight groan at the hideous color. After a few minutes, the room was back to its normal shade of blues, blacks, and oft greens. There were red pillows with white foxes sown onto them lying all over the floor. How cute! Na remarked to herself, thinking of the actual fox she met today. I'll keep that to myself for now….. .

They had found another victim for their lord. They would be happy with this one! He could make the person one of them, covering it up with a so called "Murder". Then they could….. Train him…..
He looked funny to them, spiky red hair with streaks of blonde that looked like bolts of lightening. He wasn't very tall, his stature made up by his strong spirit. They would get him next……
Na: What a strange chapter…..
Chii: Yepsie, like Pepsi!
