Character thoughts

Chapter 2

Life was getting weird and difficult for Yusuke, what with the new looming threat of the Three, crazy new classmate, and a difficult girl friend. He and the rest of the class gradually grew used to her conversations or arguments with herself. Weird thing was, though, was that she was perfectly normal when she wasn't talking to herself. She was, simply, weird with a habit of acting crazy every now and then.

He and Kuwabara were taking walk when Botan found them with some urgent business. At first, they thought it was about the Three, but it wasn't.

Botan explained, "We have a very troublesome demon here in your world. This demon attacking some people, well, no, I suppose playing with them is better. Playing with them in the same way a cat plays with its prey before killing it. Careful though, this is a very powerful fire demon we are talking about. He is over in the park, so get moving!"

Yusuke and Kuwabara complained a bit as they ran over to the park. By the time they got there, all but one of the people had managed to escape. The identity of the one who was stuck, however, surprised Yusuke; it was Kyra Jones, the crazy new girl.

Kyra was managing to dodge the fire demon's attacks, which very powerful at all. He was simply toying with her. Angry, Yusuke followed by Kuwabara charged to the "fight". The fire demon and Kyra both saw them coming.

"Ah, new playmates. Sorry dear, but I think it is time to end this." And with that, while Kyra was still distracted by the two approaching boys, the demon launched a powerful fireball at his victim, totally engulfing her in a raging inferno. Yusuke and Kuwabara both stopped in shock. Their job was to protect the humans, and they had just failed. Worse, though, for Yusuke, was the fact that he knew the person!

Before either enraged boy could make a move for the demon, movement in the inferno suddenly distracted all three. As the watched, Kyra, a not scorched Kyra, walked out of the flames calmly, if albeit irritated but unharmed. They all noticed a distinct lack of flames where she had walked. Just how did that happen? Both boy's mouths were hanging open in a big O of surprise.

The demon was the first to recover from his surprise and angrily launched a second fireball at Kyra. This one, however, just simply dissipated when it hit her, almost as if it were absorbed. Now it was the demon's turn to have his mouth hanging open.

"Surprise! Bet you weren't expecting your "victim" to be immune to fire, huh? Well, I must say I am curious to see if you are fireproof too. Lets find out shall we?" Kyra then brought her hands up in an outward sweeping motion, then brought them sweeping down, inwards, and forward, creating a vicious, snaking, lightning inferno.

The demon didn't stand a chance against this kind of power. When she had finished, all that was left was a smoldering pile of ashes. Kyra then turned to the two boys, whose jaws would have crash three feet into the ground if it was physically possible. "Well, I'd have to say that it is fairly obvious that he was NOT fireproof like I am. Well, that's what you get when you behave like he did."

Kyra then helped them sweep the ashes into a trash bag, and went on her way as if nothing had happened. Shortly after she was lost from view, Botan showed up. "Well I see you two made very short work of that demon, maybe a little overboard, but a job well done! And no people got hurt! Great job Boys!"

Yusuke then cut in, "Um, Botan? We were not the ones who toasted the demon. It was his "victim" who did it. And you just missed her too." Kuwabara, who had been looking lost in thought decided to voice his thoughts as well.

"Uh... I just don't get it. When we first got here, that girl's Spirit energy was like any average human girl's energy. But when she launched that attack, not only did it increase like a hundred times over, it, well, changed. It wasn't like human energy, it was demon energy, like the Shrimps, and other demons we have fought."

Yusuke could only nod in agreement. This puzzled Botan as well. "I think we should tell Koenma about this. Maybe he may have some information about this. Okay, you two, hop on `cause we are going to Spirit World!" Yusuke and Kuwabara hopped on Botan's oar so they could get to Koenma.

+-+-+-=-=-=-+-+-+ Some time later

Koenma was just as confused as Kuwabara on the matter. He immediately sent Blue Ogre to go find the girl's file. As if the facts were baffling enough, it got even worse when they learned that Kyra Jones did not exist in their files. Even a face match yielded nothing.

"Ooohhh... This can't be happening! We have tried every search parameter we have and even checked the non-human files! Yusuke, are you positive you have given all the details you know?! Are you sure the info you gave us is correct?!" Koenma was yelling in frustration to the point that he was turning as blue as Blue Ogre.

"Yes, yes, and YES!! I have told you all I know about her with the exception that she tends to act a little crazy! She is frequently having conversations or, the majority of the time, arguments with at least three, invisible or nonexistent people! Does theat help?!"

"No, but that just shows that you were holding out on us!" Yelled back a now very blue-faced Koenma. Koenma sighed. "It is virtually impossible for a person not to exist in our files! The reason for a person NOT to have a file is that they were born BEFORE we established our file system. However, that possibility is virtually impossible for a human, as this girl is indeed human, because we established the system shortly after the end of the time of Chaos when the Three ruled. The girl would have to be over 150,000 years old, or whatever. We don't really know how long ago it was when the Chaos ruled, but it was certainly long enough for us to lose how long ago it was!"

This news startled everyone. Could it be possible that she was really that old? No, it couldn't be, humans just couldn't live that long. Yusuke was instructed to keep a close eye on Kyra, and learn more about her. Also, it seemed the fire demon Kyra incinerated had buddies, buddies that were now out for the blood of the one who killed their friend.

--==++==-- Later at school Kyra's POV (well, third person more or less)

Kyra couldn't help but notice how much Yusuke was now watching her, and she knew it wasn't because he found her cute. This was more of a keeping an eye on to learn about type of watching. Kyra was no fool, and neither was Yusuke. It had to be because of the incident yesterday in the park.

Fortunately, her "invisible friends" were keeping quiet in class for a change. That was a relief. Her thoughts were guarded from them, so just thinking at them wouldn't work. Also, she still had not learned the art of telepathy, so she was left with having to talk out loud to talk with them.

Finally the bell rang so she could get out of class and away from Yusuke's ever watchful eye. Best place was the bathroom.

**I think that mortal is really getting on to you. He watches you too much. He must be suspicious, but doesn't know what to be suspicious of.** "Well thank you for pointing that out, I hadn't noticed, Mr. Diablo, Lord of Stating the Obvious! Of course I have noticed what Yusuke has been doing!"

//Mortals and their sarcasm! You would think that after how many thousands of years we would be used to it.// ^^I still say that she needs to learn telepathy. That would have prevented having all these people see you as crazy.^^ **You forget, se already is crazy, so what difference would it make?** //True though that may be, little brother, but must I remind you that as we are imprisoned in her body, we also share her head aches and other discomforts?//

"Hey you three, you know I can hear you so stop talking like that. Diablo, must I remind you that I am not crazy, but you three do drive me up the wall sometimes? And Baal, instead of saying I need to learn telepathy, try teaching me! Mephisto, I thank you for reminding your brothers on that fact, but you lot need to stop giving me so many headaches!"

(Author's Note: here is the guide for identifying who is talking. It will be posted again at the bottom of the story and at the top and bottom of future chapters.) **Diablo talking** //Mephisto talking// ^^Baal talking^^ (Back to the story!)

Kyra sighed. Life used to be so simple. True, it was a time when you always had to be careful when you left the town's safe walls because some fiend, monster, or un-dead thing could attack. I kinda miss those ancient, bygone days. Back when I had my head to myself, rather than sharing it with three Prime Evil demons. Back when.... Back when I was actually mortal. There are those who would kill or do anything for the chance to be immortal, never aging, and almost immune to most illnesses. Now, I can only watch as other grow old and die around me, while I remain unchanged.

--++==++-- Later, after school

Yusuke was taking Kayko out for ice-cream, movie, and other stuff she wanted to do. He had to make up for all that time he wasn't there, he guessed. He was just primarily hoping he wouldn't have to fight another demon like Toguro again anytime soon. That was tough, he was just glad that Kuwabara's spirit sword, boosted by his spirit gun, had finished the job.

Well, the fates were certainly not smiling on him today. He and Kayko arrived at a scene where an entire concrete chunk had been knocked from the corner of a building. Then, he saw the last person he ever wanted to see again, Toguro, very much alive and well. It was clear that Toguro wanted Yusuke to follow him, which Yusuke did, to a mostly empty parking structure. However, he was not aware that someone was following him!
