Introductions
Kuroneko drove for a few hours before apearing infront of the starbucks she had always met with her friends at, and sure enough, she spotted her old friends sitting in a both that had been connnected with a table so everyone would fit sitting at it when koenma and his new detectives arrived.
"Heya!" She said she plopped down at the table between a boy with long blonde hair tied back in a ponytail who she new as Inutsume, and a boy wearing a backwards solid black baseball cap.
"Whats up Rusty?" She asked the boy with the baseball cap with such comfoort around her friends you'd have to think it was almost funny..By you get close to your friends when your often ddepending on oen anotehr to save your lives...like spirit detectives.
"Not much. Same old living up in the moutains, taking care of Ryuichi and Ronin."
"Are they doing any better?" Kuroneko asked in a voice full of fake hope and Rusty looked away. "Of course not...some of their smaller scars are completly gone now though. But other then that its the same..."
"Kuroneko! You cut your hair!" A young boy she recognized as Kata, (Rusty's younger brother), said, his fourteen year old face stained by a line of long white scars taht made him look much older.
"Yeah..I like my hair short now. You know Ryukiba cut it for me? She did pretty good too huh?" Kuroneko siad but immediatly everyone but Yukiryu was quiet, "Yup! How is she?"
"She's-"
"Stop talking about her." Rusty said, with what sounded like a hidden
plea in hsi voice and Kuroneko fell silent before the bell on the door ranga nd she looked over the back of her chair to see a teenage Koenma and a group of four boys came in after him.
They sat down and Koenma was the first to break the silence.
"So, Yusuke, this is Rusty, Kuroneko, Ronin, and isn't that your little brother Kata, Rusty?"
"Yes." Rusty said as he ruffled the teenagers black hair and Koenma continued to introduce the old detectives to the new.
"Rusty, this is Yusuke, Kuwabara , Kurama and thats Hiei."
"Hey Koenma!" Yusuke piped up after a minute, "I thought you said there was four old detective. and that kid-teenager doesn't have any spirit energy, so I doubt you ment him."
Kuroneko frowned as shr began to spike but Kata cut her off.
"Ryukiba is at Kuroneko's house."
"Why? I thought this was a meeting, not a social gathering. Shouldn't we discuss these mattesr when everyones here?" Hiei asked irritably, his smirk reminding Kuroneko of how Ryukiba used to act...back then.
"She can't come out of the house...She's not allowed outside..." Kuroneko said, her pretty blue eyes averted from anyone elses.
"Is something wrong with her?" Kuwabara asked, an eye brow raised, but as Kuroneko began to answer, Rusty cut in.
"No sh-"
"Don't lie Neko! Yes! There is something VERY wrong with her!"
"So she's ill." Kurama said and Rusty shook his head...but ater the silence finally a soft voice that belong to Ronin answered, "She's a danger."
"You mean she's in danger?" Kuwabara asked confused but Ronin shook hsi head. "No, she's dangerouse..its just safer to keep her in that house."
"How long's she been stuck in there? A few months?" Kuwabara said but Kuroneko answered.
"Ten years...I've owned my own house since I was 9, because I was emancipaited..She's been living with me since I was fifteen..."
"You mean she hasn't been outside in fifteen fricked years!" Yusuke asked in unison with his orange haired friend and Kuroneko nodded.
"Well, we'll be going to your house then...Everyone needs too..It involves her just as much." Koenma said and Rusty nodded half heartedly as Ronin rose silently and Kuroneko nodded.
"We'll all fit in my van." Kuroneko added beforesaying, "Ohh, but I have to make a few stops before we get there...Some neccisary errands.
The all piled into the van and as teh started drivinh Kuwabara glanced back and saw the huge dog cage, a large kennel cage, and two glass tanks.
"Hey what are all these for?" he asked Kuroneko and she answered, "The tanks have one for rat and oone for mice, the kennel cage is for rabbits, and that big cage is for puppies."
After a few stops they were going down the rode towards a nice looking huge one story house, and in the back the tanks were full of rats nad mice, ten rabbits had managed to get shoved into tthe kennel cage, and there was around a whole twelve puppies in the carrier. All floppy, fat puppies with there big paws and adorable eyes.
"What does she do with them all?" Kuwabara wondered silently to himslef before teh van came to a stop and Kuroneko carried a bag for of ramen up the steps and unlocked teh twenty or so locks on the door.
The house had bars on all the windows, and a seal had been placed on every entrance inorder to keep anyoen fron using energy to get out of them.
They walked into a dark house, were only one light was on somewhere down a long hallway.
A soft, growling voice said from a dark cornner were two glowing blue eyes openned, "Your late."
"Sorry Kia, I-"
"I called. You weren't at work."
"Ok, I lied...But Koenma wanted to meet with us all and-"
"He's hungry."
"What?"
"Vine..He's hungry." She said, and when Kuroneko turned on the light he saw the HUGE python wrapped around the 4'3" demon sitting cross larged in the chair.
The phython was and almost dark green with diffrent shades light green creating a pattern on his back. and roughly thirteen feet long, his head as big as three fists put together, and Kuroneko laughed.
"Oh, Yeah I remembered. and this is Kurama, Yusuike, Kuwabara, and hiei." She said pointing at them in turn before she smiled and said, "Hello Kata."
"Hello Ryuki!" he said running up tto her and hugging her, but wehn she was about to ruffle his hair Rusty spoke in a threatening tione. "Don't you dare touch him."
and at that moment Hiei felt a huge presence in the room, radiating from the girl...and only after a monet did he realize what it was that made the dragon inside him restless.
Another dragon of the darkness flame...
Only stronger.
