A groan tore the bat from his thoughts, his attention turned to Kimi as she sat up in her bed. He remained silent, shifting slightly in the chair he was occupying. Her purple orbs locked onto his own, "Kuronue?" a confused look fell upon her features, the look was quickly replaced with one of remembrance. "Thank you….. for saving me from that stupid toad. I could have taken him you know, if he hadn't sprinkled that sleeping powder on me." Kuronue grinned, revealing a pair of sharp fangs. " Its nice to see you again." Kimi returned the gesture, "yeah…you too."
Kuronue stood from his seated position and crossed his arms, " You know..I should be the one thanking you. You brought me back to life after all." Kimi stiffened a bit as he asked her why she failed to mention that little detail earlier, even though he already knew the answer. "Well, if I had told you..then you would have known I was the one spoiling all your raids. I didn't want to be on Youko's bad side."
"Oh? So you're afraid of Youko, but not me?" Kimi got to her feet, "yeah. That sounds about right."
In a flash Kuronue was face to face with Kimi, "Do you really think its wise to not fear me as well?"
"You wouldn't hurt me" Kimi replied. "How can you be so sure about that?" Kimi walked closer to the unsuspecting bat and kissed him on the lips, "because you like me" she replied. Kuronue began to stutter something uncomprehendable, the kiss had caught him completely off guard. He quickly regained his composure as she began to walk off, an amused look lingering on her face.
Now it was his turn to surprise her. Kuronue took hold of Kimi's wrist and pulled her back to him. His arms wrapped around her waist and his lips pressed against hers. He suspected she would pull away, but when she did not he decided to test the waters. He pinned the girl against the wall, his tongue intertwined with hers.
(Kimi POV)
I had just kissed Kuronue on the lips. I admit it was a spur of the moment kind of thing, the look on his face was priceless. He began to stutter something I couldn't quite make out.I was sort of surprised by his reaction, he seemed like the type who had a lot of experience with women. I felt satisfied by such a reaction and a grin took over my face. As I began to walk away I felt him grab my wrist and pull me back to him. What was he doing? I suspected he was going to make some sort of perverted comment, but to my surprise he pressed his lips against my own. His sweet scent flooded my senses, I felt as if I was going to melt. I felt his tongue penetrate my mouth, his rough hands began to wander….
"KURO" Kuronue hesitantly pulled away and turned to meet a pair of golden orbs. "Youko. What are you doing here?" he questioned a bit of annoyance evident in his voice. " You know its impolite to just barge into someones home, what I had been naked!" Kimi exclaimed. Youko crossed his arms and leaned against the wooden door frame, "I'm sure you both would have been if I hadn't came in when I did." Kimi's face began to take on a shade of red, what..thats not true!" Youko turned and began to walk out the front door, "I came to tell you Jack is looking for you. It seems he has something rather important to tell you." That being said the fox vanished from their sight. Kuronue turned back around to face the blushing girl. A smirk graced his features, "You blush easily" he teased. Kimi's cheeks turned an even darker shade, "No I don't!" Kuronue began to walk towards the door Youko disappeared through, " I have to go now. I'll come see you soon." Before Kimi could reply he was gone.

Kimi sat in silence drinking a bottle of whiskey to blend in. She was waiting for a customer to supply her with another mission. Her eyes followed a handsome fire demon with spikey jet black hair and icy blue eyes as he walked into the bar. She watched his eyes scan the room then land on her. A grin spread across his face as he began his descent towards her. He took a seat on the opposite side of the booth she occupied. " Well hello there, I don't believe we've met. My name is jack, may I be as bold as to ask you yours?" "I don't care to know your name. If you don't have a mission for me Im done speaking with you" Kimi replied harshly. The man's grin only grew wider, "feisty. I like it" She was fixing to tell him to go to hell, but he spoke again. "Actually I do have a mission for you, but I don't want to talk about it here. To many demons could be listening in on our conversation." The demon she had come to know as Jack stood up and began to walk out of the bar. Hesitantly she decided to pursue the fire demon.
The outside of the bar was eerily quiet, the faint sound of laughter and glasses clinking together were the only noised to be heard. Kimi looked around not spotting the fire demon anywhere. Where had he gone!? She gave one last look around before giving up the search from the mysterious demon. A sharp pain emitted from her head as she descended back towards the bar. She turned to see Jack. " You know, I never had any leverage to use against Kuronue…that is until you came along." The girl's vision went black soon after these words reached her ears.
