Another mini one…I like mini M+M's…yum…anyway…

Suddenly, a picture flashed into his mind. Raven black hair fell in beautiful waves around creamy skin, and pleading brown eyes looked up at him. "Please," her voice echoed in his memory with an ethereal ring. "Don't get hurt. Don't leave me again."

Youko's eyes snapped open, and his hand slipped the cork on the vial and walked quickly out of the barrier. He sighed as the thirst diminished, but his eyes opened wide as he saw the demon standing in front of him.

Light purple skin was almost glowing, and…well…almost uncovered. A beautiful crimson dress wrapped around her luscious figure with a gold sash. Emeralds winked at her pointed ears. One crimson eye and one beautiful lavender eye looked at him, framed by long black lashes. She lowered them at him seductively…

And he walked straight past her. He only had eyes for one girl, and she did not have purple skin, nor would she even think of wearing that.

"Well you've changed," came a voice as sweet and syrupy as honey.

"What are you talking about?" Youko stuck the vial off water into the backpack, slipping it onto one arm.

"There was a time when you would have tasted that water just to show that you could."

"Yes, well, I didn't think it would be a good idea."

"Not to mention you passed me by…"

Youko smirked. "I'm sorry, but you didn't perk my interest. Purple just isn't my color."

"No, you'd rather date a ningen!" The demon snorted.

"A miko, and yes. I have things to do, so if you'll leave me alone…"

"I'm sorry, I can't do that."

"Oh, and why not?"

"You're not allowed/ to leave. Though I must congratulate you on passing the spring of Edna. But Edna won't let you leave."

"And who, pray tell, is Edna?"

"I am."

"…Fun…" Youko reached into his hair as Edna placed herself in a fighting position.
