Shade- Hiya! Okay, first of all I screwed up on the explanation for killing Karuka. It's supposed to be if a FAMILY member kills another they're executed BUT there's one way you can get out of that but you'll have to wait till later chapters to find out what.

Also one more thing, I did too many 9 month disappearances I think. There should have been only four cuz Rien and Cruyo were twins

People- *barfing*

Shade- By the way people, those cookies WERE moldy

People- you suck

Shade- SHUT UP YOU SHIT HEADS!!! Sorry, I have a tendency to lose my cool when I'm typing... cuz I can't

ON WITH THE STORY!

Chapter 11: awakening the monster

"Oh crap! Where is she now?" Yusuke proclaimed.

"Hiei? Didn't you see her?" Koenma asked.

"Nope." He answered.

"Great, now we need to find her... AGAIN." Kuwabara sighed.

"Idiots, she didn't go far." Hiei said pointing up.

Everyone looked up to see a single shadow one the ceiling. Then a 'screw you' was heard and Karuka suddenly appeared above them and she leapt down.

"Karuka? When did you get up there?" Kurama asked.

"I woke up as someone was talking about my father's death, then I changed into my shadow form and moved as slow as I could as to not be spotted but unfortunately that didn't work." She answered glaring at Hiei during the last part.

"Well, it seems that you caught me. I will have to give you credit for that, it's never happened before, but you're all still in my way of leaving so move." She said.

"Hold it! You're not going anywhere! Ogre! Throw it on her!" Koenma yelled.

The big blue ogre grabbed a net he had brought in earlier and tried to throw it on Karuka.

Karuka quickly moved and appeared next to Yusuke.

"AH!" He said.

"I want a rematch." She plainly said.

"No way! The only reason I won was because of a simple trick." He answered.

"I know that's why I want the rematch."

"Go ogre!" Koenma yelled.

Ogre threw the net again and this time instead of dodging, Karuka slashed at it with her claws.

"Stupid little baby." She said.

"Fine, but you can't you can't leave! Because of your other felons you are on probation." Koenma said.

"Okay, what will you do?" She asked.

"If you join these four on some missions, then I can erase your records, like I did with those two." Koenma said while pointing to Hiei and Kurama.

"Hm, I expected the short one but he seems to have a different aura. One that's kind, but still undetectably evil." Karuka said pointing to Kurama.

'Youko?' She thought.

"Fine" She answered, "I'll do you're stupid little games till I'm all paid off. Then, I can leave."

"Uh, question?" Kuwa said to the back of Karuka.

"What you pathetic waste of mass?"

"How come you don't even seem at all hurt from fighting us all? It was only last night."

"One, I didn't fight you, or rather you didn't fight me, I fought them. Two, the only reason I lost was because of the stupid little trick that was pulled, and the fact that the trick was pulled on my back." She answered.

"Why does your back matter?" Kuwa said again.

"None of your business." Karuka told him.

Hiei made a slight smile thinking of the fact that he knew, and then turned it around remembering its purpose of being one of Karuka's weaknesses.

"Well, I don't have another mission for you, so Karuka, you must stay here." Koenma said.

Karuka only huffed.

"Why don't you stay put in the 'home' where a women's supposed to be." Hiei said.

Karuka went bug eyed and lost it. The whole room got dark and the only thing you could see was Karuka's face, or the side of her head depending where you were standing. Her face was shadowed and you could see her bright yellow eyes illuminate from any standing point in the room. She was obviously mad.

"Think twice of what you say about women you stump. One false move and your head hits the ground... detached from your body."

Everyone in the room, even Hiei, was slightly afraid of the power that Karuka was emitting. They all stood their ground hoping that she wouldn't blow the whole place up.

"I beat you once, and next time I won't refrain to killing you. I spared your life before as to not waste energy on such a worthless being and save it for the remaining three. I learned not to dilly dally and get the job done. I may be a cat, but playing with my prey is something I do rarely in life situations. Otherwise, I'm all for torture and having fun with my opponent, key word, otherwise." Karuka never lost the angered look in her eyes and never took those eyes off of Hiei. Little does she know that Hiei knows almost all of her secrets.

"Hn, if you believe that I am going to be afraid of a woman like you, you better write a will quick before your belongings go to waste." Hiei answered her seeming to not be afraid of the dark she produced in less then a blink of an eye.

The dark disappeared and Karuka's eyes turned to her less taunting pale green.

"If I must work with this runt please make it happen that he can be asked to shut up or stop looking at me." Karuka said.

Before when she awoke to know ones notice she could feel Hiei's eyes searching her body looking for questions that he didn't already know the answers to. And trying to get deeper into this interesting past of hers.
