Chapter 7

In Maria' s house everyone was still shocked about the news that Sam was a demon slayer.

Y" I don't believe it! She! A demon slayer"

Ke" leave her alone"

Ku" she was going to kill Kurama"

Ke" but she didn't! I don't think she could"

Y" why not"

Ke" oh! Are you blind or what"

At that moment Kurama arrived.

Yu" hi! How did it go"

K" not well"

Ke: " what happened"

Yu: " did you at least talk to her"

K: " yes, but she told me to go away"

Ku: " I think it's better this way"

K: " DON' T SAY THAT AGAIN"

Ku: " why do you care so much? I mean she is a demon slayer, she could kill you any time"

K: " you just can't understand then. She is not bad. She just had a hard time when she was young"

Ke: " what do you mean"

K: " she has a valid reason for hating demons."

Ku: " and may we know what is it"

K: " I promised not to tell, sorry"

Maria thundered down the stairs with Hiei clawing to her shirt.

M: " I can't! It' s impossible! I am starting to think that Hiei will stay as a kitten forever"

Hiei' s heart missed a beat. And Kuwabara paid the price because he was soon scratched all over.

K: " oh! About that, her father gave me this and told me that you have to gather all the people involved in the spell and form a circle. "

Maria' s face lit.

M: " that's it then! Yusuke, Hiei, me and… and…"

Y: " and who"

Her face fell.

M: " Sam "

Ku: " it seems that you are stuck like that forever"

Hiei meowed angrily.

K: " we could go all and try to convince her."

Ke: " what is the problem with her"

K: " well, she thinks that since she's a demon slayer we don't want her around."

Y: " or maybe she doesn't want us around."

Ke: " possible"

M: " look, I don't think it's a good idea to go all together to talk to her, let me deal with this."

It was extremely late and so after a dinner of roast chicken they all went to bed exhausted. After all it had been a long day.

The next morning Sam was alone in the small house her family used as a training center. It was quite old but still in good condition. It had just a very big empty room, a small kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom. Someone knocked on the door at about 10 o'clock. It was Maria, she had come to convince Sam to help her with Hiei's transformation.

S" I hope your not here to ask me to come back."

M: " well… it's yes and no."

S" spit it out"

M: " to reverse the spell and bring Hiei to normal all the people involved must be together. I am just asking you to come for a few minutes till I finish the spell."

S" there is no other way"

M: " no"

S" let me think about it."

M: " no, I won't let you! Its all your fault Hiei is a kitten in the first place and so it is your responsibility to make him turn back into himself. If it wasn't for you none of all this would have happened so you are coming with me at my house right now or else I will make you come. NOW MOVE"

S" but…"

M"No but"

S: she's right

S" Maria, I hate it when you're right"

From there she followed her silently all the way back to her house. Sam was extremely uneasy and decided to climb upstairs instead of using the front door. Maria went back inside and called the others.

K: " she accepted to come"

M: " yes, now come on hurry up."

When they arrived up to the attic Sam was already there sitting on the window sill.

M: " so everyone come here and form a circle."

Sam, Yusuke, the kitten, Kurama (he still had to participate even though Sam's father undid his curse. Maria was not a fully qualified witch and her power was not strong enough. With this kind of spell the others shared their energy with her in order to enable her to undo the spell.) And Maria formed a circle. She repeated the same strange words as Sam's father and a ray of blue light appeared to come from everybody and they met in the middle forming one that hit Hiei and changed him back to normal.

H: " I'm back."

Y: " and I didn't transform."

M: " at last we did it correctly"

Y: " let's celebrate."

M: " Nilce bought some very good stuff yesterday, come on"

Everyone rushed downstairs except Sam and Kurama.

K: " you're not coming"

S" no, I think I will go back home."

K: " are you sure you don't wanna stay"

S" yes, bye Kurama "

She jumped down from the window and headed towards the road.

K: " yeah! Bye"

Three days later…

It was Friday night. The stars shone brightly and a light summer breeze made the dead tree leaves fly across the garden. Maria was inside with the others and they were all watching her favorite program: Dragon Ball. Nobody dared to try to change the channel for fear of being turned into frogs, but since it only lasted half an hour no one bothered. It was the Majinbuu saga and today they were finally showing Vegeta with the halo, something Maria was dying to see for weeks. When suddenly at the end of the episode when her wish was at last becoming true a black out stopped the episode.

M" NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

Y: " oh come on it was just a cartoon."

M: " JUST A CARTOON? I WAS FINALLY GOING TO SEE VEGETA WITH THE HALO AND YOU ARE SAYING IT WAS JUST A CATOON."

K: " calm down! Shouting won't help"

M: " yes, you're right. I am going to check what happened."

She opened the front door and levitated a few meters in air. It seemed that everywhere was in complete darkness, not a single lamp could be seen. It was very strange.

M: " how strange! Everywhere is without light."

H: " did something like this happen some other time"

M: " no, never. If a black out happens only a few places are affected."

K: " it sounds quite strange to me."

Y: " maybe we should go and see what's going on."

Ku: " yeah."

K: " where's the power station."

M: " let me show you the way. Don't forget to bring torches."

Of course at Sam's house these strange things were noticed too and so Sam was also sent to the power station to check. When she arrived she saw a tall blonde demon, right outside the power station.

S: he's an electrical demon, probably he sucked all the energy to recharge

He was wearing a blue sleeve-less top and a pair of baggy trousers also blue with a yellow belt that matched his hair. It was as if he was waiting for someone.

S" Give all the energy you stole back"

Demon" so you came"

S" what"

Demon" I'm Majajin. And I suppose you are that demon slayer they call Sam."

S" why do you want to know"

Majajin" because my job is to capture you."

S" oh really! And who gave you this job."

Majajin: " that's not your business. Now tell me, you wanna follow me with the good or the bad ways."

S" if with good you mean doing no resistance, well I think I prefer the bad ways."

And with that she launched herself into an attack but missed. Then he threw his hand forward and managed to grab her wrist and slowly ropes like electrical snakes slithered all over her body and paralyzed her.

Majajin: " it's almost too easy."

He started forming an electrical ball on his right hand.

Yusuke and the others were on their way.

Y: " can you feel his ki"

K: " yes, and he's not alone."

He started running as fast as he could.

K: please Sam resist, I'm coming

The electric ball was to its maximum power he was ready to shoot. He moved his right arm back wards and threw the ball towards the mobilized Sam. She closed her eyes expecting to feel pain but it never came. She opened her eyes slowly, and she was shocked to see Kurama in front of her shielding her from the demon's attack.

K: " you're ok"

S" oh my god, Kurama"

The others were nowhere to be seen.

Majajin didn't shoot to kill but still Kurama was injured badly.

Majajin: " what a stupid thing to do! Especially for a demon slayer."

K: " don't you dare try to touch her again"

Majajin: " you are so pathetic move out of the way and save your life or else I'll make you move"

Kurama was bleeding heavily and Sam could feel his ki diminishing.

S" Kurama go away! You are badly hurt."

K: " never. "

Majajin attacked with his electric balls again and again even though they were not as strong as the first one. For Kurama it was finally too much, it was clear that he was hurt terribly badly but he still had no intention of leaving. He fell to his knees.

Majajin: " bye, bye"

He was ready to fire again.

S" don't you dare touch him"

Majajin" uuuu… and who will stop me? You? I'm terrified"

The others at last arrived seeing Kurama on the floor and Sam trapped they were ready to attack.

S" STOP"

Y: " what"

S" he's mine"

With all the strength she could master, she destroyed the ropes and materialized her sword. The demon looked surprised.

S: how dare did he touch him! He will DIE

Her anger seemed to double, no triple her power. As her ki kept rising, she vanished.

Majajin: " where did she go"

The others were at sea as well, they could still feel her ki but it was as if it was coming from many places at once. Then a deafening scream came from Majajin.

Y: " what's going on"

They finally realized why he was screaming. His hands, legs were separating from his body as if somebody had cut them. Sam reappeared in front of him her right hand outstretched.

S" this is your punishment for trying to kill Kurama! Die"

A sudden very powerful ki-ball shot forward disintegrating him. Leaving no trace he had ever been there.

Yusuke was helping Kurama to stand up.

K: Her eyes they were different, they were ice blue. Could it be?

S" Kurama, why did you do it"

K: " I could ask you the same thing"

She looked at him, he was smiling. She blushed and was suddenly very interested in a near by tree. She turned her back towards them.

K" you are going again"

Y: " why don't you come with us"

Ku: " yeah really"

S" don't worry! You won't get rid of me so easily."

She threw them a small bottle with some blue liquid.

S" take that. It will help "

M: " she's right, it's a healing potion."

K: " Sam"

S" I'll come tomorrow to see how you're doing. We're on the same side after all."

She smiled and made her way home.

K: " Is it a promise"

S" sure."
