A/N: Sorry about all the bad spelling in the last chap and i wouldnt be suprised if this one was bad to but im working on going through everything but i just really want to post this and i just havent had time to check it properly but i promise i will soon.

I parked the car outside an old run down looking bar then got out the car.

"Here?"

"Yep, well known place to find out information, you can wait in the car if you want... probably safer if you do actually... can't say they would like your type here"

"Why does everyone around you keep saying that?"

"Huh"

"I am human like the rest of you I am also a law enforcer like the others to, what is so different about me?"

"You will see soon enough" I laughed

I can't say I wasn't surprised, I didn't take L for the 'burst out loud' type but I guess you can't tell a person just by looking at them, who knows what's going on in that head of his. So we were both out the car and walking towards the bar, there was one thing L didn't know though, one thing that would make it a little harder on me, this bar was a... a special kind of bar, a bar filled with demons and not good, helpful demons either.

I walked in first with L a step behind me, everyone in the room turned to look at us, most would know me and it didn't help that Sesshomaru's smell would still be around me but then it might, it depends some of these demons are afraid of him where some want to kill him.

"Hey boys" I smiled cheerfully "so me and my friend here are look for some information about someone, who wants to help us out?"

"Your type isn't welcome here" someone spat out

"Me or him?"

"What are you a wise guy huh?" he growled standing

"No, I'm a girl"

"Is it wise to push them?" L asked

"Sure, these guys couldn't hurt me even if they tried"

"You should listen to the human brat, leave before we kill you both"

"Now you wouldn't do that to us, don't you know who I am?"

"Of course, his stench is all over you, him and that half breed father of yours"

"Great, those that hate him, well this should be loads of fun" I thought with a sigh

"You talk big but can you back it up?"

"Don't push me girl"

"Or what?"

Everyone was now looking between me and this guy, I still wasn't 100% sure what kind of demon he was but it didn't matter to me, I was sure I could handle him. I heard him laugh then next thing I knew he was in my face throwing a punch, I could have easily have ducked it but L was right behind me and he would get hit so I took the blow. It hurt but he didn't break my skin so it wasn't too bad.

"Are you ok?" L asked as I crouched on the ground

"Yeah I'm fine, I can take more than that" I smiled at him

"Why don't you go cry to mummy, oh that's right, she's dead isn't she"

Something snapped inside of me, I couldn't control it.

"Don't you dare talk about my mother" I growled looking at the ground

I couldn't hear anything anymore; expect the blood pumping through my own body. I wasn't sure if he was still saying things but I could still hear L's voice asking me if I was ok, I wanted to answer him, to reassure him but I was too far gone.

I stood up with my hair blowing around me despite the fact that there was no wind, I opened my eyes and saw everything in a new light, everyone had a different aura around them, some blue, some red, some yellow but all different shades. I smirked with my fang showing and found the person I was looking for, he seemed surprised.

"Now, what were you saying about my mother?" I asked tilting my head slightly

"You don't scare my little girl" he huffed "why don't you go join mummy, that's where your kind belong"

In seconds I was in front of him holding him up by his collar.

"I told you not to talk about her"

My hand started to glow a pale pink and the demon started to scream, that's when I realised what was happening, I was turning priestess on them. I had turned demon once before, the power was amazing but I was just a mindless killer, I didn't enjoy it. But priestess? Well this had never happened before, this power was different, it was pure and I was in control but I also knew I couldn't stay like this, I was a demon and my body would purify itself killing me.

I dropped the demon to the ground and then stood on top one of the small tables.

"Anyone else have anything to say?"

"No ma'am" a few murmured

"Good, now who can help me out? I'm looking for someone who likes to come out at night and just loves to snack on children? Anyone know them?"

"You're looking for the Otis clan"

"Clan? How many of them are there?"

"I heard 3"

"I heard there were over 10" someone else said

"No, there are over 50!" another called out

"So no one knows?"

"No miss"

"Hmm... well then thankyou boys, you may carry on with living your rotten lives"

"Best watch your humans back girl" the guy whispered quietly

"You touch him and I will see to it that the rest of your days are spent in hell" I whispered back

L didn't hear the silent threats which I was glad of. I jumped of the table and tried to calm my body down; I was already starting to feel weak.

"What happened in there?" L asked once we were outside

"Wait until were in the car and driving"

I got into the car and rubbed my eyes a few times, everything was still messed up and my heart was pounding like it was trying to break out my chest, I had to get away from here and fast. I barely waited for L to buckle up and I didn't bother, I just slammed my foot down and speed away, I didn't slow down and I didn't bother with the town, too much traffic and people. I couldn't tell what L was thinking I was too busy trying to get away.

The feeling was starting to fade and my eyes were getting blurry so I slowed down until I had finally stopped on the side of the road. I turned the car off and leaned back in my seat closing my eyes, I was so tired now.

"Kimiko, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine, just tired" I breathed out

"What happened back there, how did you move so fast? And why did they all look... Deformed?"

"Because I'm magical and they got into one to many fights and lost"

"You can lie all you want, I will find out the truth one day"

"I don't doubt that but the longer I can keep it from you the safer you will be"

"What?"

"Look as I'm sure you know our business is in the shadows of the world, we deal with things other people, other cops, detectives or whatever don't want to or can't deal with"

"You said these people eat children?"

"exactly, anyone in their right mind wouldn't go after them but not you L, you know I've been trying to figure out if you're brave or just plain stupid, you have no idea what you're up against and you should let us do what we do best!"

"Then why don't you tell me then"

"Oh sure, I'll just tell you that I'm a demon, everyone in that bar was a demon oh and the 'guy' your after is a demon!... oh bugger"

"Demons?"

"No, I didn't say demons I said... yeah so I can't think of anything that sounds like demons"

"Demons aren't real"

"That's right, there not real"

I yawned and the side of my face hurt, I pulled my hand up to it and winced at the slight pain.

"That must hurt"

"Not too much"

"Why didn't you dodge it?"

"And let you get hit? Yeah that sounds like a much better plan" I laughed

"You mean you let him hit you for my sake?"

"Well yeah"

"I'm stronger then you think"

"If he made contact with you it would have nearly shattered your jaw but because I'm super women it just gave me a little bruise anyway, we should get you back to town... I kind of got a bit carried away with my driving... sorry about that"

We drove in silence, I didn't realise how far out of town I had gotten but it was ok, for once in my life it was nice being in silence but I hated knowing that L was possibly in danger and I might not be able to save him, after all he is to stubborn to listen to me.

"Hey L, I want to make a deal with you" I didn't take my eyes of the road but I could feel him looking at me "I will answer any question with the complete 100% truth if you drop this case"

"No"

"What? Why not? I thought you wanted to know all about me and my family"

"I will find it out on my own"

"Bit hard when you don't believe the things that are plain to see, but that's ok, no human does, the mind sees what it wants to see, that's what it was like with Makoto at first"

We made it to L's place within an hour, I got out and stretched, been cramped up all day, I really wanted to go for a run right now but I knew I couldn't. I took hold of my backpack and followed L into the building, security was even tighter here then the place in London, It looked like it was going to be impossible for me to sneak out without him knowing. We got in and some old guy was there waiting for us, he greeted L and welcomed him back then looked over towards me.

"Hey, I'm Kimi" I smiled "I'm L's new partner"

"Partner?" he asked looking at L

"She is deluded"

"I am not" I frowned

"I am Watari, I work with L"

"So you will have him as your partner but not me! That's not fair" I sulked

"I will be in my office"

"What about me?"

"Watari will watch you"

"Can I go out?"

"No"

"Can I call someone?"

"... Fine, just be quiet"

"YAY" I shouted "opps... I mean yay"

He grumbled something then walked away into a separate room, I could have used the phone but the truth was I had no one to call, sure there was Makoto but she works nights so she wouldn't be home now, there was Shippo but he had gone off on a case somewhere and that was the only friends I really had.

"Miroku... who is he? I know that name from somewhere..." I muttered to myself "maybe dad knows... but is it safe to call him?... I should report my priestess side to Sesshomaru but... Hey Watari, is it ok if I call my dad?"

"Of course miss, the phone is right over here"

I sat down on the couch with the phone in my hand; I didn't know whether this was a good idea, what if he was still mad at me? But he was my dad so maybe it was ok but there was one problem I had to call Sesshomaru's office to get dad. The phone rang in my ear and I thought about hanging up but then there was a click.

"Hello?"

"... Uncle Sesshomaru, its Kimiko"

"What do you want?"

He was defiantly still mad at me.

"I wanted to talk to father, is he still there?"

"No, he went out"

"Oh... well ill call him another time then"

"What did you need?"

"Nothing, its ok, I don't want to trouble you with it"

"Just tell me"

"It was about mother..."

"Oh..."

His tone had changed, it wasn't as angry as before now it was softer, kinder even so I took the chance and asked him the questions that were bothering me.

"Mother was a priestess right so that means I'm one to do it?"

"Not necessarily, it isn't always passed down through family besides you have demon blood in you, to have priestess powers as well would kill you"

"That's why I felt so weird, I knew it"

"But what if I did? And it didn't kill me..."

"Kimiko, do you have priestess powers?"

"No, of course not, I was just wondering"

"Hmmm, well if that's all..."

"One more thing"

"Yes?"

"Who's Miroku?"

There was a click, he had hung up on me, I couldn't help but smile as I imagined Sesshomaru in his office with that annoyed expression of his.

"But still... who is he? I know I have heard that name before... this is going to bug me now"

I placed the phone on the table in front of me and laid back on the couch with my head hanging over the back of it -I was slowly becoming upside down- I didn't really know what I was meant to do, or what L was doing, whatever it was I wasn't included so that meant it was probably about me. I looked towards the window and saw the sun setting slowly, in a few minutes I would become nothing more than a normal human and when that happened I would be confined to this building, no one could know about my secret, my one time of weakness.

"I wonder how I will explain it to L." I thought with a smile "I doubt he would believe me anyway... it's so weird being human, it's been so long -a month- since I was human last... and that was spent sleeping but I'm wide awake now and in a strange place I guess anything can happen, I would feel better if I had someone else here just in case but I guess we will be fine, after all its only one night"

I waited upside down for the sun to set -it's looked strange upside down- just as the sun set and I was becoming human I felt myself slipping. I grabbed hold of the couch with what was left of my demon reflexes but it wasn't enough, both the couch and I fell to the ground. There was a loud bag as we hit the floor and I had managed to hurt my arm and no doubt I had a lump on my head from the hard floor. I crawled away from the couch gently pulling my hair from under it until I was free; I stood up and started to walk towards where I thought the bathroom was when L burst into the room.

"Who are you? How did you get in here?"

"L?" I asked turning around

I guess he didn't recognise me with black hair and I must have looked slightly pathetic after all I was holding my arm close to me protecting it from any more harm and my eyes were all teary from the pain. I could normally handle a lot of pain but for some reason when I was human I couldn't handle much at all.

"Is your arm hurt?"

He didn't seem concerned anymore; I figured he must have known who I was now that he had seen me properly.

"Yeah"

"Let me have a look"

I walked over to him with more grace then I had as a demon and held out my arm wincing in pain slightly.

"It doesn't look broken, it should be fine"

He smiled as he said that, he was actually smiling at me.

"So, what is your name?"

"You don't recognize me?" I asked with a smile until of course I realised something "wait, did I honestly look that pathetic that you would help someone you thought was a stranger! Oh well that's just great"

"Kimiko?" he looked surprised

"Who else would it be!" I snapped

"But you look..."

"Yeah I know, I'm playing dress up"

"But your eyes... teeth and your hair... plus you got hit and you weren't in pain but you fall over and that hurts? And your ears, I thought they were your real ears"

"They were but now these are my real ears" I smiled pulling my hair back

"But how?"

"Uh uh, that wasn't our deal, I only agreed to tell you everything IF you dropped this case so you're on your own mister, now what's for dinner?"

After dinner -I ending up eat the ramen in my bag, all L had was sweets- I wondered around, I wasn't tired, it may be around 8pm here but in London it would only be around 10am so I was wide awake.

"I wonder what's going on out there"

I was talking to myself really, L was doing things on his laptop, I had managed to sneak past a few times and glance at what he was doing but it didn't make sense to me so I moved onto something else. i was standing near a large window looking out at the city, it was dark now and all the city lights made it look pretty but not as pretty as the stars -which you couldn't see here-.

"Normal people are getting ready for bed"

"That's not what I meant... and I'm going to choose to ignore that 'normal people' remark"

"Crimes are being committed while we sit here and do nothing"

"I have told you this already, I cannot and will not leave this building until morning and that means you can't either"

"You didn't tell me why"

I sighed and went back to trying to look at the people but it was hopeless, I knew what was out there, I knew the demons and the all the bad things that crawled around in the night and now that I couldn't find them I felt... well naked I suppose, like my suite of armour is gone.

"There is a gentleman at the door" Watari announced walking into the room

My heart raced, I guess it was a normal human reaction when something unexpected happens.

"Who is it?"

"An Inuyasha I believe his name was"

"Dad?" I asked moving towards him

I didn't let myself believe it, only L and I knew that dad looked like so it could be anyone trying to gain access to the building.

"Let him...

"Wait, can I see first, see if it's really him"

It probably sounded like a silly request to them but still L let me. I walked to the door and looked at the small computer screen, sure enough it looked exactly like dad but I still wasn't convinced.

I pressed my finger on the intercom and talked to him "hello?"

"Hey, Kimiko let me in" he grumbled back

"Sure sounds like him"

"Why are you here?"

"Because of tonight, I didn't like you being alone"

"It's because it's tonight that I can't let you in"

"Let me in or ill wind scar the door down"

"Uhhh ill just get Watari to let you in"

I knew what dad was like and that meant I knew he wasn't kidding, he would do exactly what he said. Watari opened the door and dad walked in grumbling about something, it was hard to tell being human and all.

"Watari this is my dad, Inuyasha, dad this is Watari, a friend of L's. Come on were all in the other room"

I wrapped my arm around dad's and pulled him to the other room, I let go of his arm once we were there then walked off to go make some tea, well I pretended I was anyway, I knew father would know better but that was ok, it was L I was more curious about.

"I don't believe I had a chance to introduce myself properly last time, my name is L"

"Inuyasha"

"Is that a real sword?"

"What this rusty old thing, couldn't hurt no one"

"Sure until it transforms into a giant fang"

"So you are to one that caught my daughter"

"Yes"

"Do you still suspect her?"

"Yes... if you think you can convince me otherwise you are wrong"

"Think what you want, I don't care, I'm only here to look after her"

"Gee thanks dad"

"Were did you go today? After you left"

"Your daughter took me to a bar"

"Oh great, knowing dad he can probably still smell the other demons around"

"Looks like you didn't really catch her did you, well just be thankful"

"Thankful?"

"you think she is bad, you should have seen the things that Kagome did to me, sometimes it still feels like I'm getting slammed into the ground, the worst Kimiko can do to you is well keep you company"

"She never listens"

"A trait she got from her mother and me"

"She breaks everything she touches... expect for tonight"

"nights like these she is different, some things are easy to see but its more than her light feet that have changed, its all of her, if you have anything to say to her tonight is the one night you will get a human response out of her"

"What is he telling him that for? And I haven't changed, he doesn't know what he's talking about" I frowned to myself

I want to stop the conversation but I still haven't gotten the tea yet so I had to make that first, I never really liked tea that much but I guess it was ok sometimes; I only said it so I could leave the room. Once it was ready I walked to the others and placed the tray down on the table, L added that much sugar that it probably wasn't tea anymore where dad had it how it was, how it would have been back then and me, well I had it how most everyday person does.

"So, what were you talking about?"

"You and Kagome"

"... oh yeah that reminds me, you know a Miroku? I've had that name stuck in my head for a while now and I just can't place it"

"Miroku was a friend"

"Uhhh, but who is he?"

"A pervy monk"

"Did I ever meet him?"

"You don't remember? We lived in the same town as him when you finished high school for... well a while"

"Wait was he the one with the son... what was his name... H something, always trying to show off and stuff"

"That's the one"

"I remember now, he had a wife right? She was nice, and was it two daughters?"

"Three"

"Oh right, it's a shame you couldn't meet them L, Sango and Miroku were better than TV"

We talked and exchanged stories until the sun was nearly up, I had forgotten all about it, it was dad that reminded me of the time.

"Uhhh, I'll be right back"

I went into the other room and closed the door, it was sad in a way that this night was coming to an end, I still had a little while to kill so I just wandered around for a while until I heard a knock on the door.
