Na: Your last chapter sucked!
Chii: Yeh…..
Ru: MEOW!
He had left this world a while ago. But he never realized he was to leave his body, or anything behind. He just stayed there, in a suspended sleep while his body slowly decomposed. Tears had dried to his cheeks, leaving hollows. His skin was like raw hide, eyes long since shriveled beyond repair. Teeth had become little, unnatural looking stumps or jagged edges. The tongue became black and swollen with age. The toes and fingers actually curled the more he decomposed, while his limbs became frail and threadlike.
Awakening to an unnatural light, he became slowly aware of his body's decay. So he had decided…..
He needed a new guise…..

Yusuke had fallen asleep against Na's shoulder, taking comfort from the temporary relief of pain she offered him. She had to retell the story several times for him to really comprehend the idea of those things being more vulnerable after they fed. So she had to risk a few deaths, which she seemed sincerely sorry for, and then slaughter them with Holy fire. The Holy fire was then explained to him, how it was the only thing that could truly kill these things. And she explained how they actually came upon the clearing.
Na let him sleep against her, feeling happy someone trusted her. Sure, it was a rude punk, but it was nice nonetheless. She thought about the only other time someone had trusted her that much. Her brother was the only other guy who trusted her that much. He cared for her well being, caring to the point of smothering her with his unusual affection. So she left, leaving her family, and her brother, behind in a past that she regretted.
Her thoughts strayed to Ashe, whom she had left behind unwillingly at the mansion. Na wondered how her friend was doing, hoping with all her might, secretly feeling a little scared, that her friend would not come after her. She was afraid that Ashe would sacrifice herself to save her, a useless sacrifice, due to the enemies she faced.
Eyes kept closing, her head nodding to the side, Na decided that the best thing right now was to sleep, and forget the pain, just like Yusuke has……

His clothes tumbled in the dryer, the blood stains gone from the pink uniform. A small smile could be seen, along with excited eyes that watched the outside from his window. Leaves in various shades of reds fell slowly to the ground, littering the yellowing grass in a sea of leaves. He quite enjoyed this, thinking about his kills while watching almost blood red leaves falling with no wind to guide them.
He could hear his mother in the house, busying herself with dinner preparations. She hummed a sweet tune about fall while chopping leeks and carrots, the blade of the knife dancing across the cutting board in a feverish choreography, as if celebrating the separation of each leaf and stalk that it came across.
Kurama sighed contentedly, his hands folded behind his back. His plain white shirt hung loosely on him, his new diet of humans leaving him with less weight than before. For being so frail looking, he was toned, yet extremely pale. His hands had become slightly spidery looking, accompanied by wrists that showed his bones.
Green eyes had lost some of their former sheen, a grey dullness creeping over his whites. Kurama looked tired, mentally, emotionally, physically, and most of all spiritually. His soul felt like it was being drained everyday by his Master, soon to leave a husk of his former glory.
But it was the price to pay for his deepest wish……

Ashe's feet slipped on wet dirt, loosing their grip with every step. It was a harsh climb down the hill, with trying to keep herself steady, and not dropping any of her belongings.
She didn't have much left after the house was ruined. Some of the only things were her spell book, given to her by Na, and some clothes that survived the fires. She had also brought along a dress for Na, knowing that her friend would be reluctant to wear it. But she thought it was a beautiful dress, being mad of wine red velvet, magical velvet that would keep out any weather. And it was just the right length for running, the sleeves short enough for fighting and quick spell casting. Overall, Ashe was quite proud of the garment she had, being made by her own 'unskilled' hands.
Her dearest wish was that the Detective would be alive and this was all just a cruel dream…..

Hiei sat silently, watching the sun set over the hills. The sky was a dark peach color, dying the sky in a warm orange hue. The 'so-called' heartless warrior felt strangely elated at the prospects of the enemy, and about the calming aura of the Detective. She had everyone caught off guard with her strange way of speaking, and her temperamental demeanor. It made him uneasy to think that she was more threatening than he was that even Yusuke would shut up when she had to say something. Kurama and Genkai seemed to hold her in high esteem for her powers, yet Koenma and Botan pretended she didn't exist. This puzzled him more than anything.

Kaiba. Seto Kaiba.
The CEO of Kaiba Corp.
He didn't believe in the supernatural.
He believed only in himself and his little brother.
Or so he kept telling himself.
It has been three days since he left his room. Sitting cooped up in front of his computer, staring at the video data that was sent to him from headquarters.
They appeared to be regular vandals. Yet there was something about them that made even the great Seto Kaiba nervous. He could swear the arm of one of those things actually fell off!
Mokuba had watched him for about half a day before boredom over took him. The little raven haired boy ran out of the room into the hall, singing some child's song on the top of his lungs.

Na's head shot up, her eyes focusing in on a distant movement. Her ears perked up, picking up everything in a half a mile radius. She could hear Hiei breathing in the tree, leaves falling sweetly, and Yusuke's slow rhythmic breaths as he lay next to her, and another noise.
"They know….."
Chii: Creepy chapter…. Kinda! –Shivers-
Na: Yep…..
