Alright ya'll here's chapter 10! Hope you enjoy it!
Midnight was growling continuously even after Kasai had disappeared.
"So someone killed them to get to me. That's just god forsaken perfect!" She growled under her breath.
"Do you have any idea why someone would want to get to you?" Kurama asked calmly watching as Midnight became more and more agitated.
"Why? I'm a rare for a mutt. A mix breed demon of wolf and dragon. Not something that comes along often. Any child that I'd bear with a full breed demon would be more than rare." Midnight murmured her voice low and controlled. Her eyes were firmly focused on the wall before her. "I have to do something. This can not go unpunished…."
"What do you plan on doing?" Kurama asked his green eyes worried. Midnight had a look in her eyes that said she was willing to do just about anything to get back at whomever had killed her family. Even if that meant putting her own life in great danger.
"I'm gonna hurt down who killed them, and make sure they know I'm not anybody's pet." Midnight said. Her tone hadn't changed at all.
"You're not seriously thinking of going after that fox demon are you?" Kurama asked.
Midnight shook her head. "Not to kill him, no. He was possessed. A pawn in his master's game. No, he's just going to tell me where to find his master."
"That's insane, you can't honestly think of going alone. Where will you even start?"
"Makai. I'll work from there."
"You'll get killed."
"That's a risk I have to take." Midnight said, her voice breaking slightly. "I have to have revenge for this crime. For my sanity, the twins' too."
Kurama stared at the girl for a moment, then slowly nodded his head. "If you insist. I assume you don't intend to tell Kat?" He asked after a moment.
"Hell no." Midnight said calmly a small grin gracing her features. "You can't tell her either." Kurama nodded in understanding. "I have to go talk to the twins. I need you to get everybody to go to school as normal, but I'll be gone by tomorrow. It'll be a little while before Kat gets fed up." Kurama nodded. Midnight grinned and pulled him into a tight embrace. "Thanks." She whispered before bolting from the room to talk to the twins.

Kat stormed into Midnight's house a week later after school.
"That idiot hasn't done anything in a week!" She muttered under her breath and she stormed towards Midnight's room, with the rest of the gang left to follow in her wake.
"MIDNIGHT, GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE THIS INSTANT!" Kat yelled pounding on Midnight's door.
"Well, there are probably nicer ways to get her out, but—" Botan started, but Nightmare cut her off.
"That girl only responds to brut force." He said with a shrug.
"Yeah, but she's going to break the door at this rate." Kieko said, a slight tone of worry in her voice as Kat's door bashing became more violent.
"It….wouldn't be the first time." Dawn murmured.
"Or the second. Or the third for that matter. She's broken that door a multitude of times." Dusk added.
"You're kidding. She's broken down the door?" Yuskue asked. "I know she's strong, but I can't really see her not stopping before the door broke."
"That's Kat for you." Dusk muttered.
Before any conversation could be continued, Kat swore loudly getting everyone's attention. She turned on her heel and bolted down the steps before anyone could ask a question.
"Where's she going?" Yuskue asked.
Dawn shrugged. "She probably came up with some way to get my sister out of her room."
"How, we most likely don't want to know." Dusk added.
What the gang didn't know, was that Dawn, Dusk, and Kurama all knew exactly where Midnight had been the last week. Well, not –exactly- but somewhat. Anyways.
Kat stormed down two flights of stairs to Hiei's room and pounded on the door. The door opened after a moment.
"What do you want onna?" Hiei asked.
Kat glared at him for a moment. She hated, no she LOATHED, asking him or anyone for that matter for help. But…. "Is Midnight in her room?"
"Why would…" Hiei started, but Kat cut him off.
"Because I –know- you can use you jagan to see if she's there. Please." Kat said, her eyes betraying the pleading her voice would not show. Hiei looked into the girl's eyes and was momentarily trapped in the memory of their kiss. He shook himself mentally and looked back at Kat.
"Fine onna." He said with a sigh. He closed his eyes and his jagan glowed slightly. He opened his eyes again after a moment. "She's not there."
Kat swore not so mildly. "Thanks Hiei." The girl was gone again before Hiei could respond.
Hiei shook his head. That girl was completely insane at times.
Kat stormed back towards Midnight's room, her anger apparent in her eyes. Midnight was so stupid. She'd disappeared to God knows where without so much as a notice to Kat, so she had to be up to something. And she had three people in mind who might know. And she also had a good idea of WHY Midnight had left in the first place. Suicide mission of vengeance. I've known her to long to be wrong on that account, Kat thought.
"Alright you three," Kat said to Dawn, Dusk, and Kurama as she yet again stood in front of Midnight's door. "Where the hell did Midnight go, and how can I find her?"
"No se.(1)" Dawn said flatly in Spanish.
Dusk barely shrugged.
"I don't know." Kurama answered.
It helped that Dawn and Dusk were related to Midnight, and that Kurama was a legendary thief that all three of them could lie flatly to Kat's face without so much as a hint that they knew something else.
Kat growled slightly in frustration and defeat. The cat demon turned and headed yet again to the basement, but this time headed into her room. Kat slammed her door and turned her stereo up to the maximum level, not caring what C.D. was in. She just needed to loose herself in the music for a little while.
I walk a lonely road
the only one that I have ever known
Don't no where it goes
but it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and im the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone.
I walk alone, I walk a...
My shadows only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh...
I'm walking down the line
that divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
of the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
of what's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
to know im still alive and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk Alone
I walk A-
My shadows only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh...
I walk alone
I walk A-
I walk this empty street
on the Boulavard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And im the only one and I walk alone
My shadows only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Kat sang softly along to the song. She recognized the C.D. and was very happy for the next song.
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like to be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more
Before your life is over?
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like to be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy
But I'm not gonna be ok!
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like
What it's like!
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like (what it's like)
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Kat sighed as the song finished. She'd calmed down enough to think clearly now. Of course Midnight would tell three people who could lie easily, and she'd know that somehow, she couldn't be tracked down.
"You outsmarted me again sweetheart." Kat murmured under her breath. "When is it gonna get old?" Kat sighed as tears stung her eyes. "When the hell will it get old you stupid bitch. Hijo de puta!(2)" She screamed, but no one heard. Her voice blended into the music. The irony, Kat thought as she finally gave into her tears.
:Upstairs:
"Do you three really know where Midnight is?" Botan asked after Kat stormed away.
"Maybe." The three accused said simultaneously.
"I just hope she's okay where ever she is." Kieko murmured.
"Don't we all." Dawn said quietly.
