Hiei: Hn.
Kira: sticks out tongue Anyway… on to the chapter! glares at Hiei
A girl, about sixteen, was walking down the street after her high school let out for the weekend. She had long raven black hair that fell to her waist and her eyes were of a pure sapphire. Her pale skin gleamed in the sunlight granting her an angelic look if not for the school uniform. A headband was covering the black-tipped cat ears and her white tiger tail was wrapped around her waist like a long furry belt. Her left arm was still bandaged and made her get some odd looks, but she didn't mind.
Cole was no longer the scared little half-breed found in the forest the day her wings had been ripped from her weak body. Her features had matured beautifully… and so had her power.
"That is such a pretty belt! Where did you get it!" a girl, she had to be a prep, came running up and gazed in awe at Cole's tail.
The halfling was used to this. It seemed all the girls liked her "belt". It got rather annoying and Cole wasn't all angel remember? She did have the temper of a demon and she REALLY (can I make it any clearer?) didn't like preps… or the human race, come to think about it. Cole could put up with them and everything, but they could not be more annoying if they tried and all their little habits and things like that were nothing short of disgusting.
"It's sold out where I got it." Cole stated and continued on her way down the street to avoid any other questions the girl might have.
She sighed in relief when the little prep walked back to the store she had come out of. Now where? She really had no where to go. The orphanage that had kept her while she was small had placed her in a small house and given her money for school, but she really didn't want to go back home. The wild spirit with in her felt cramped in there and longed to be free.
Cole finally decided upon going to the park, what else was there? She walked through the entrance and proceeded to a bench where she sat down and gazed at her bandaged arm. What lay beneath only she knew and that was how she wished to keep it.
Looking up, Cole realized that it had gotten dark. That didn't bother her. The night was like her sanctuary.
Suddenly there was a ruckus from a ways off. Four boys were walking toward her. The first was a boy with slicked back, jet black hair. She was guessing he was the leader by the way he carried himself. Next was a tall buy with odd orange hair… he just looked really weird. Then there was a boy with deep green eyes and long red hair. Cole could tell just by looking that he was cunning.
And last, the shortest of them was a boy with crimson eye and black hair. Hot and powerful, that was the only way Cole could thing to describe him. The thought made her shudder with excitement. He had to have a muscular body that was gorgeous beyond belief, but now it was covered. Damn.
A low, tiger like growl escaped her throat. It was a growl that one tiger might give to it's mate, a deep, soothing and seducing growl, but was a bit too loud for Cole's liking. She was afraid they might have heard, so she flew up the tree behind her with the speed of a cheetah, but it was too late.
"Did you see that?" She heard the orange haired boy question his friends.
"Yeah, but what was it?" The leader questioned.
The group walked to the base of the tree and stared up into sapphire eyes reflecting with light like a cat's.
"Whoa." The orange haired boy stated.
Cole hissed, baring her sharp fangs and leaped from the tree, landing on the ground a short ways from them. The headband had fallen off a moment before, revealing her striped cat ears and her tail flicked behind her.
"A demon." Yusuke stated.
"A demoness." Hiei corrected, unsheathing his katana.
Cole took that as a challenge and relaxed her body. The others did not understand this. The other demons would charge and attack with all their strength, but this tiger demoness had calmed herself.
For a moment Cole had let her demon half overwhelm her and take over for a moment, but now she was relying on the angel half to calm herself. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and relaxed every muscle in her body, coming out of her defensive state. She was able to talk peace now without threat.
"I'm sorry… You spooked me. I didn't think you would see me." She stated with her eyes still closed.
Hiei sheathed his katana and crossed him arms, seeing as she no longer posed a threat to them. Yusuke and Kuwabara gave her a perplexed look while Kurama just sighed and smiled. He figured he was going to have to do the talking.
"It's quite alright. We're sorry we surprised you." Kurama said with another smile.
The tigress slowly opened her eyes and looked them over. "Who are you?" She asked as her ear tilted to the side in a cute kitten-like fashion.
Yusuke took over from there. "I'm Yusuke, and this is Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei… former Spirit Detectives." He introduced, pointing to each in turn. "You…?" He questioned.
"… Cole… just Cole." She stated. These boys had actually once been famous and loved by many, despised by others, but still loved. Yet she is a forbidden child, one hated by all and loved by… none.
