Thank you to all readers.

6: Human No More

Resha felt herself been thrown to the ground and gave a low groan as she woke up. She sat up and looked around her. There were youkais of all sorts and sizes around the big room.

In front of her was a youkai with a very strong chi, sitting on a throne. His eyes were closed but his expression was calm. He has six pointy ears and three pair of horns. "So this must be Yomi. Strong, from what I can tell." Resha inspected him carefully, also taking in her surrounding in detail with interest.

'You don't seem scared, ningen-girl and very quiet.' Yomi voiced out calmly.

'Just inspecting the surrounding.' She said casually. 'May I know why I'm brought here?'

'My servant said you came without a fight. May I know why?' he asked back.

She grunted. She hated it when she wasn't answered. 'Answer my question first.' She said in annoyance, folding her arms across her chest.

'Don't you dare talk to the king like that!' a youkai roared, stepping close to her.

'And what are you going to do about it?' Resha asked raising an eyebrow in amusement. 'I didn't have time to study the book of "How to Talk to a King"!' she said sarcastically.

Pissed off, the youkai made a sudden mad dash towards her, a katana in his hand. He slashed her, which she dodged under and kicked the sword from his hand. It flew upwards and she caught it gracefully as it fell back. She swung it on his neck at an amazing speed and he stood there motionless as she stopped right at his neck.

'Impatient beings, youkais are.' She smirked playfully. She turned back to face Yomi after giving back his sword. 'Anyhow, I came here willingly out of curiosity. Now can you answer my question?' she said desperately.

Yomi was smiling in amusement. 'Yes, I'll answer you.' He said getting up. 'Would you like to stroll down the castle with me?'

"Huh?" she thought.

'But Master...' another youkai protested but Yomi cut him short.

'I'm not asking you the question.' He said in a casual voice, although his face darkens. He turned back to face her and Resha decided to go with him.

'Okay.' She nodded simply.

As they walked down a big corridor, Resha uttered. 'How did you get blind?'

'Ahhh... such sharp eyesight. Very impressive for a mere ningen.' He commented.

She grunted. 'I hate people who don't answer when I asked a question! Besides, I knew it when you first speak. You didn't comment on how I was looking around attentively at the room, but said that how silent I was. Now answer the damn questions!'

He chuckled. 'You are quite impatient yourself, ningen-girl...'

'Resha. My name is Resha, not ningen-girl!'

He smiled in amusement again. 'Yes. Now, the reason you were brought here is that I want to know more about the Reikai Tantei.'

'I dunno much about them. All I know is that they hunted down youkais who interferes with the Ningenkai (Human World) and that they are loyal friends.' She said truthfully.

'Anything else?' Yomi asked frowning, not liking her answer.

'No, nottin. Kurama hardly speaks about them at home.'

'Ah yes, you live with Kurama, my good friend. How is he, by the way?'

'Fine.' She said, feeling weird. She thought about it for a second before uttering, 'Did Youko made you blind?'

He smiled. 'Literally.'

She shut up after that, thinking. Abruptly, she stiffed a yawn.

'Tired? I'll send you someone to guide you to your room. You did come here as a guest.' Yomi smirked when she made a sound.

'I want to go home. Kurama would be very worried.' She protested.

'You can go home tomorrow. Although, I thought I would kill you after getting the information I want, but you are really something.' He stopped and turned to face her.

She was surprised when he raised his hands and touched her face, inspecting every inch, making a rough image of her. She stood there motionless, too stunned to act.

"She's beautiful." He thought. "Youko must like her, especially the attitude and that sexy voice."

'Small face, full lips, small nose, but perfect in everyway. What color are your eyes and hair?' he asked relaxed.

'Red hair, silver eyes, fair skin.' She answered.

'Silver eyes? Such rare eyes. I've never seen one before. Oh well, enough talking.' He clapped his hands and a youkai came. 'Take her to a room and make her comfortable.' He smirked.

'Yes master.' He smirked back. 'Follow me.'

Resha rolled her eyes and follow the new youkai from behind. She inspected him curiously. He had two cranberry dog-like ears sticking out from his head and a wine-red bushy tail. The way he walks was agile but sturdy, and he had a lean muscular body. Very attractive in a way, and she wandered what type of youkai he is.

'Here we are.' He said suddenly as they came to a big door.

Resha stepped inside and noted every single thing in the room. She heard the door clicked shut and turned around to find that the youkai was still standing there.

He gave an alluring smile as he walked towards her and pushed her to a wall.

'What do you think you're doing?' she said annoyed glaring into his eyes for the first time. She was utterly shocked.

He has striking purple-grayish eyes that she had seen before. But where? Resha searched in her memory, not letting her gaze off.

Kinu, the youkai, frowned at her a little. She seemed surprised when she looked at him and stared deep into his eyes, thinking about something. He gazed back and was lost in the silver depth. She was the most beautiful ningen he had ever encountered in his life. He had liked the way she handled Isuzu, the youkai earlier, with agility and mischievously cunning, like a fox. He snapped from his thought when she suddenly cupped his face with her hands, smiling brightly, her eyes dancing.

'You are Kin, ne?' she said confidently. 'It's me, remember?'

He looked at her in surprise. Nobody ever calls him that, except...

'Resha?' he asked stunned, looking at her up and down. She does look like the kid he met once in the Ningenkai, a long time ago.

'Oh... it is really you. I haven't seen you for ages!' she squealed and hugged him tightly.

Kino smiled in amazement and amusement and embraced her back, remembering their first encounter.

Flashback

Ten years ago.

Resha and Ranma were training in a forest on the mountains in China with their Pop. Resha went to pick some fire woods nearby when she heard a whimper not far from her. Curious, she went towards it.

She saw a red fox licking bloods from its back leg.

'Eh... a dog. It's hurt.' She said going near it, concerned.

It gave a growl.

Resha stopped surprised and looked at it with hurtful eyes. 'I don't wanna hurt you.' She said offended.

It stopped growling and looked at her innocent face with its dazzling purple-grayish eyes. "Hm... such a cute little ningen. What is she doing in the middle of the mountain?" Kinu thought.

Feeling a little safe, Resha went to it and looked at its back leg. It wasn't serious, just need a little bandage. 'Can you walk?' she asked.

It nodded its head and followed her to the camp place.

Genma turned around when he heard rustling to find his little girl with a fox two times her diminutive size. 'Resha, get away from it!' he said quickly.

The fox growled and Genma stopped.

'Pop! What's wrong? I found this dog and its leg is hurt!' Resha chimed.

"I'm not a dog, idiot!" Kinu thought annoyed.

'That is not a dog, Resha. It's a fox.' Genma corrected the little child, still wary.

'Its leg is hurt. See? It must be tied up.' She said with a little intelligent. She went to the first-aid kit and took the things she needed. She remembered seeing Pop done it to Ranma and herself in more than one occasion. After that, she went back to the fox.

'Sit. Sit.' She instructed.

"This girl is getting to my nerve!" he thought but did as he was told anyway. He was curious at what the little girl is going to do to him. The cut can heal in no time and whenever he wanted, but it amused him to see the little ningen's action.

Resha started bandaging the do...fox as her father called it. It was a beautiful beast; its red fur was silky-soft and shiny. She really like its eyes, and would look at it once in a while and smiled cutely.

After she finished, she said, 'You must stay here until your hurt is heal. You must eat many and sleep many. Pop always said so when Ranma and me get hurt.' She beamed and took her meal.

'Resha, what are you doing? We hardly have enough food for ourselves!' Genma told her sternly.

Ranma was eating his own food, not a care in the world.

Resha blinked. 'But fox is hurt and must eat. It's okay, I don't eat today.' She said and handed it the food.

Kinu, already hungry, ate casually. In just seconds, the plate was clean. "Stupid little ningen." He thought. Maybe he could stick around for a few days. He could have free food.

A few days gone by and he came to love the little human girl. He watched them trained and had even went to find fruits and other plants that could be eaten.

He wasn't much fond with her twin, Ranma, and the pathetic father. He was more intimate and protective towards Resha alone.

One night, as he lay beside Resha, he thought about himself. He was going soft because of the little ningen girl, he needs to go back to Makai (Youkai World). He got up quietly and went out. He suddenly felt a soft tug on his fur.

'Where is Kin going?' Resha asked fearfully. She could feel that the fox wasn't going to come back.

His eyes were a little sad but he turned away from her.

'Will Resha see Kin again?' she asked hopefully.

The beast stopped for a while. He turned to face the little girl again. Maybe, he should give her a present, a goodbye present. His facial turned dark and he walked slowly towards her.

She looked at him without perceptive. The fox stopped in front of her and leaned down. He nuzzled his nose on her soft cheek and she hugged him. At that moment, he sunk his teeth into her neck and a sudden flow of energy flood inside her small body. By the time he leaned back, the blood dried, leaving a scar. Resha looked at it confused. At first, she felt a little pain, and then there was a huge energy. Now she felt usual back.

Kinu smiled to himself. He had put some youkai spirit inside her so that when she was injured, it will healed itself faster than a normal human would. It was a very small amount and is sealed. He walked away and was slowly engulfed by the dark night.

End of Flashback

Resha pulled away from the embrace and stared sternly at him.

'Why the hll did you bit me that time?' she demanded.

He grinned. 'I put some youkai chi in you to help you heal your wounds faster, and leaving no scars on your delicate skin.' He purred nuzzling his nose on the spot he had bitten her years ago.

'Oh.' She said uneasy, trying to put some distance between them. Her mind was racing. No wonder her wounds always healed so fast. She never even had scars! Wait, that means...

'Does it make me a youkai?' she asked.

'No. The energy was too small. Maybe, I should have another bite; unseal it, just to make sure.' He said teasingly, sexily, his arms warping around her waist, pulling her closer to him.

'Err... maybe not.' She tried to protest.

'Don't worry, it wouldn't hurt...much.' he said, smiling into her skin, before he bites into her for the second time.

Resha felt a rush of huge enormous amount of energy exploded inside of her. She screamed as the energy charged to every bit of her nerve system, her heart pounding faster, her breathing uneven.

Kinu held her tightly as he tried to control the energy flow in her body. No, it was too big, and flowing too fast. He couldn't believe this; the youkai chi had actually grown inside her all these years! As he laid her half-conscious body on the bed, he wasn't sure if this is going to be a bad news or a good one to her.

Resha opened her eyes, looking at the fox youkai. She jolted up suddenly, looking at herself. The pain has subsided, and she could fell the strong new chi inside of her.

She looked up at him. 'What...happened...?'

Kinu stared at her for a moment, unable to mouth a single word. He finally got his nerves back and explained to her what had occurred.

'The energy I sealed in you, it had grown over these years. I couldn't stop the flow...' he paused for a moment, looking into her eyes. 'You are a youkai now.'

Resha blinked and looked at her palm. She is a youkai now...

'Cool! Does that mean I have youkai powers too?' she said happily.

He blinked. "Huh?"

'You like it? You are not mad at me?' he asked in disbelief.

'No, of course not. I always wanted to be strong. I never thought it would be this way though.' She grinned.

This time he grinned too. 'Well, I'm not just a fox youkai. I control ice element as well. I think you possess that ability. Try making an ice cube in your palm.' He instructed.

Resha concentrated her new chi into her palm. A huge deformed hunk of ice was form.

'Too big. You have to learn to control the amount of energy you use. You also cannot turn into a fox or any form, you are not born one. However...' he stopped, suddenly nuzzling his nose on her neck.

A swift sensation hit her, making her moan. She stopped and quickly pushed him off her, surprised at her own action.

He smirked when she started blushing. 'You would possess what fox youkais are famous for; cunning, playful, crafty, mischievous, last but not least... easily turned on.'

'What! That is not good news! I'm not someone who can easily be turn on. I never was anyway!' She shook her head in disbelief.

Kinu suddenly pushed her down onto bed. 'I can proof how wrong you are.' He murmured.

The feeling was back again, but her anger and pride wasn't giving in to it.

'No.' she pushed him off and went to the door. She opened it and ran out.

She fought a few youkais on her way down the corridor. She didn't use her youkai ability, but her usual martial arts only. She passes a few more corridors then finally got out of the castle.

She stopped. There were even more youkais outside.

They charged at her.

Thinking quickly, she decided to use The "Rising Dragon Hurricane" Technique. She fought them until she was in the center of their fiery aura and released her cold aura then cried, 'Saotome Style, Anything-Goes Martial Art Technique, Hiryu Shoten Ha!'

Immediately, a hurricane formed when the two forces were brought together. The twister of energy/wind hit the youkais and they were thrown into the air. Resha grinned and ran out of there.

Kinu watched in amazement from the window. She hadn't used any of her youkai energy! She was strong enough without it. He smiled to himself. "We'll meet again, Resha. No doubt about that."

Ranma and the Reikai Tantei were running in the Makai when they suddenly stopped to a halt. They watched in amazement as they saw a big twirling twister not far away from them.

'The Hiryu Shoten Ha Technique! It's Resha, come on!' Ranma shouted, going to the source of the hurricane. The others looked at each other in disbelief before catching up with him.

'You mean... Resha made that twister?' Yuusuke asked unconvinced.

'Of course! She...' Ranma stopped talking and skidded to a halt at the exact time as the other person in front him.

'Ranma?' Resha said in disbelief.

'Resha!' Ranma exclaimed and hugged her. He suddenly let go and bashed her head angrily. 'Idiot! Do you always have to make me worry?'

'Damn it, that hurts! She cursed angrily. She turned and saw the Tantei were watching her warily. 'What?'

'There's something wrong with your energy... it is huge!' Kuwabara cried out.

'And its youkai chi! Are you really Resha?' Yuusuke demanded.

'Of course it's me! I just changed...a little.' She shifted nervously.

'What do you mean, a little?' Hiei narrowed his eyes.

'Long story and this is not the place to talk about it. Can we get out of here? Those youkais are still after me!'

'We better get back to Reikai (Spirit World). Koenma would want to hear about this.' Kurama suggested.

They all nodded.

In Reikai, Koenma's office

'WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ARE NOW A HALF-YOUKAI!' Baby-Koenma and Ranma yelled in unison at Resha.

'It's not my fault I am turned into one! Kin did it!' Resha protested.

'Kin? Where have I heard that name?' Ranma muttered suddenly.

'Kin. The fox that I save when we were six, remember?'

'You mean that big beast that was always with you when we were training in the mountains?' Ranma asked.

'Yeah, that one. He's actually a youkai and he had sealed a little of his powers inside of me before he left that time.' Resha explained but was interrupted by Koenma.

'Why would he seal his powers inside of you?'

'A thank you gift.' She answered plainly and they all looked at her in incredulity. 'Okay, okay, I explain.' She sighed. She hates explaining stuffs. 'Like I said, it is a gift. He seal his powers so when I become injured, it will heal quickly and leaving no scars.'

'No wonder you wounds consistently healed so quickly!' Ranma muttered.

Resha grunted, hated to be disturbed. 'When I met him, he unsealed it and was surprise to find out that the chi had grown. He couldn't control the flow of energy and it just saturated inside of me. End of story.'

'So you are a half-kitsune now.' Kurama pointed.

She shook her head. 'Not actually. I possess ice element, or so he said. And yes, I also inherit some fox nature.' She said casually, not wanting to elaborate that part.

'I still cannot believe this!' Ranma grumbled.

Resha looked at him unhappily. 'I didn't mean it to happen.'

'Stop pretending, Resha. I know you are as happy as hll to possess such powers.' He said rolling his eyes.

To the others surprise, Resha grinned widely. 'You know me too much, Ranma.'

'You act too much, Resha.' He pointed dryly.

Koenma coughed twice to draw everyone's attention. 'You should train to control your powers, Resha...' Koenma didn't finish his sentence.

'I'll train her, Koenma sir.' Kurama said calmly.

Koenma nodded and dismissed them all.

'Where will Ranma be sleeping?' Resha asked as they gone home.

'My room, if you don't mind.' Kurama answered.

Resha nodded and went to her own room, yawning. It had been a long day. She fell asleep the moment her body collided with the bed.
