Shade- Hi! Mistake correcting time! Karuka's nick-name is Karu not Karuk
and sorry for that being so close to Garu's name, it originally was
Garudori but I got bored of spelling that so I shortened it but he won't be
in the story anymore so yay!
Note: I would like to thank the reviewer who has reviewed my story the most... drum roll please *rolls drums* FEUDALFAIRYFAN4EVER! Yay! *balloons and confetti* you reviewed practically every one of my chapters and I thank you so... THANK YOU!
Extra note: Thank you YUKINA-KUN for being my faithful reviewer! I will be looking forward to your reviews in the near future and I'm glad you like the story

Chapter 13: A new power from the earth
Karuka was outside walking hoping no one was following her, unfortunately that didn't happen.
"What do you want Hiei?" She said, and then Hiei jumped from a tree he had jumped into previously to the ground next to Karuka who never stopped walking.
"Why did you steal the diamond?" He asked.
"It was there that's why."
"That's no answer." He retorted.
"Look, I've been stealing things all of my life practically so it was just a normal reaction for me okay?" Karuka answered his question a bit annoyed at him following her.
"And how long would that be?"
Karuka tried to find a good answer for this, "Since I left the home I grew up in."
"That long huh?" Karuka whirled in front of Hiei with a questioned look on her face.
"What do you mean 'that long'? You don't know."
"Oh don't I? I happen to know that you were quite young when you left your home."
"And how would you know that?" She asked trying to get answers from him.
"Your dream." Hiei said.
Karuka stared at him completely confused. Then she grabbed his shoulders and pushed him into a tree with great force.
"How do you know about my dream?" She asked not loosening her grip.
"I saw it." Hiei said while his Jagan eye glowed under his head band. Karuka retreated.
"You have a Jagan eye?"
Hiei only nodded.
"How dare you pry into my personal dream like that stump!" Hiei growled at the name 'stump' and answered her.
"Kind of hard not to when you were practically pulling off my cloak at your fear inside of it!" Karuka, instead of slapping him like any other girl, walked up and punched him in the face sending him back about 100 feet, (A/N it is a big forest) stared at him as he was standing up and when he did, she walked off.
Hiei stood staring at Karuka with a hand on his cheek to stop the bleeding. Then he felt someone stand next to him.
"That's why you were in that tree when we were walking back?" Kurama asked the bleeding demon.
"Yes."
"That wasn't the best way to approach her now was it Hiei?"
"Shut up fox. If you let any word of this slip out it's your head." Hiei turned around and began to walk back.
"Yes, of course." Kurama turned around and followed.
*~ with Karuka ~*
'That little bastard! Looking into my private dream like that! I can't believe that I'm going to have to work with him again.' Karuka had stopped at a cliff and peered down at the water below.
"Maybe if I kill myself everything will be better. Dying sure as hell will be better then this." Karuka sat down contemplating the thought of suicide. She now felt alone with her piece and quiet.
'Maybe I should train.' Karuka stood up and walked out to an open area to begin her training.
First she summoned a few daggers and threw them at a tree.
"Boring."
Then she summoned her spear and did the same.
"This sucks. Maybe I should make a new weapon."
Karuka was very skilled in making weapons from her claws. With her shadow energy she could manipulate them to change their molecules and become like the real thing.
Karuka sat and thought of her new weapon, she didn't want anything flashy and bright, those annoyed her. She instead thought of the basics, or what seemed to be the basics. Something unnoticeably strong that people underestimated, like herself. She decided on something that would be perfect.
Karuka stood up and put her hands in front of her and began the making of her knew weapon. She extended a few of her claws and changed them to a long steel rod and wood.
In the finished project, which took ten minutes to make, it was a simple looking wooden rod about 8 to 10 feet long. It looked so harmless that you wouldn't even try to defend yourself in an attack. Karuka liked this thought. If people were going to underestimate her she should get used to it, and take advantage of it.
She began to try it out and to her surprise she was quite well at her first try. In fact, she was so into it, she totally forgot about the time, her probation and the dream that Hiei mentioned. This was new and powerful, something that others would get bored with, but not Karuka. She felt all in power with a simple piece of wood and a strand of steel. She loved it.
'Why didn't I think of this before? Should I feel weird for liking this so much? It's just a piece of wood.' Karuka stopped to look at the rod in her hand. She didn't care what others thought now, she only cared about watching their sorry little faces when they realized they shouldn't have underestimated her or her new weapon. She changed it to a shadow on her clothing and walked off with an evil smile.
That night Karuka slept outside as she usually does. She didn't take the bed they offered her. Karuka had to get used to spirit world since she used to sleep outside in the demon world. She didn't have a dream, though the smile she had in her sleep would make others question that theory, she was happy for not being reminded of that dream before.
*~ next day ~*
"Any new missions?" Kuwa asked as he entered the office of Koenma.
"Yes, it seems they just keep rolling in now." He answered.
"And what would this mission be? I don't have all day you know." Yusuke said.
"Well you're gonna need about a week."
"What? A week? That's too long!" Kuwa whined.
"Too bad, you're all going. You need to search for yet another gem, so keep an eye on Karuka while you're at it. You have to get there in a week because there are other demons searching for this gem, and it's important that it doesn't get in their hands." Koenma finished.
"What's its name?" Kurama asked the baby.
"The Hamisha Sapphire. Once in possession it will cast a down pour of rain on any city you like destroying it in a flood." Koenma answered.
"Why don't you ever send us to get these things when there aren't large groups of demons crawling after it?" Yusuke asked.
"Because it's more fun this way. Where are Hiei and Karuka? They need to know about their week long quest." Koenma asked.
"I'm right here." Hiei stepped out of the shadows that surrounded him and revealed the red mark on his face from Karuka which was the real reason for him being in the dark in the first place.
"Oh, I didn't notice you come in. Where is that mark from?" Koenma asked again.
"Hn."
"Yes, do you know where Karuka is?"
"No, I don't." Hiei returned back to the shadows.
"I'm sorry I'm late. Oh, wait, let me take that back because isn't lying a felony?" Karuka had entered as a shadow so she didn't open the door so her presence surprised everyone else.
"Good that you're here Karuka, now you can start your new week long mission. I'm sure the guys will feel you in as you head out." Koenma said.
"A week? Great, why don't you put me in a mental asylum? I'll probably go less crazy." She said.
"Glad you're excited."
