Chapter 2 is up! ^_^

Innocent in the Dark

She picked up the thing that humans call a telephone. She dialed the number and waited. After three rings someone answered.

"Yes?"

"The progress is going great, Sir. Do you want him now?"

"No. I want revenge on the one who delayed our plans. Make sure he's in your sight. I won't stand for failures."

"As you wish." She hung up, as did he.

On the other end he put the phone down and smirked.

Shuuichi's POV

It became a routine to go over Alex's house. She was a very nice person. I didn't tell her about her brother actually bruising me; I didn't want to bother her anymore that I already am. I don't know if Kurama has noticed me out most of the time. It's not like he cares anyways. I sighed and stared blank at the television. I forgot what we were watching anyways.

"You okay Shuichi? I'd hate for it if you say that you back out of your promise," she said.

I just shook my head. We made a promise that we'd die together. It would've seemed appropriate when we first met. That was three months ago. It's amazing how time flies by when you have something to do. At least the dreamer is speeding up the process. If the dreamer does then it'll be heaven to know how many days left. Well since he or she hears me thinking this then maybe they would slow it down and make me miserable again. Please I'd do anything if you just let me get out of here! I don't like reality!

The show that I'm plainly staring at is getting kinda boring. Would she think so too? I don't even know what's it about. I looked at the clock, it said 10:00 PM. Great! Kurama is already gone somewhere in the Makai I think that's what he said.

"Hey Alex I have to go it's already getting late. Thanks for having me over. Maybe I could tomorrow. I'll see you tomorrow." I gathered my stuff and headed for the door. I heard the television click off.

"Why don't I go with you? I wouldn't want my brother hurting you again. At least he stopped for a while I don't know how long can he last in his withdrawal."

"No it's okay. He almost last time it's okay he won't do anything right now it's late. I kept track of what times he and his gang will be there. This time is not a time they would be around. Don't worry. Ja." I said before walking out the door. I didn't want her to worry too much. I really don't know if he'll be there this time of night.

I reached the street where I usually get beat on and walked slowly. I was hoping that they wouldn't come and ransack me like last time. I felt eyes looking at me but I guess it was just my imagination. I continued my path carefully. You never know what lurks in the shadows at night.

I still have that chill down my spine. Someone was there and there seemed to be a lot more around and I didn't want to stick around to find out. I sped up my walking and started to jog then turned into a full speed at running. I didn't have any energy left but I had to get out of this section before they could catch me.

I felt something tackle me down to the ground and sat on my back to keep me from getting up. No! I don't want to deal with this now! Didn't they have any other hobbies?

"Look the red-haired princess decided to visit us again. What do you think Chris? What should we do today?"

The one I assumed was Chris walked over and tugged my hair making me put my head up. I was close to a concussion just hitting my head on the ground. The price of relief from reality.

He slammed my head on the cement making my sight impaired. I couldn't see and it was blurry. I was trying to throw the person off my back but I couldn't in my weak state. Couldn't I have done it from the start? Bad decisions.

"Hey what are you punks doing?!" I heard a yell from someone familiar. I tried to see who it was but couldn't turn my head because I was being held down uncomfortably.

I heard fighting going on and bodies hitting the cement and the weight above me was thrown somewhere. What I assumed the person helped me up.

"Shit what did those guys do to you?"

"K-Kurama?" I asked slowly. I was starting to lose focus but getting it back slowly. My vision was at least somewhat decent to walk home.

"You could've at least screamed for help. I heard that's what every human does if they're in trouble." He said while helping me stand and regain balance.

"I tried I guess I was too tired to do anything at ten at night." I started walking slowly. At least I could walk normally. He followed me. No! I wanted to lose him and just go home. Besides what would he be doing here? It's late at night; he's usually out doing something.

He walked beside me. I didn't want to say anything in case that he actually wanted to be by me. "What are you doing here?" I asked. Stupid question Shuuichi he's probably here for an assignment sent by his employer. I noticed that he managed to keep his fox ears hidden with a baseball cap and his tail hidden under a long coat.

"Nothing. I was just walking around and I saw that they were hurting you. I just had to step in. Plus the baby said that there was some disturbance here in this area. So far nothing was out of the ordinary. "

I was right it was just an assignment. If he wasn't here then I would've been hurt worse than last time. Seems like the more I pass by here the more the injuries become more intense. It went back to the uncomfortable silence again. With Alex the silence doesn't even bother me or with anyone else for that matter. But with him it's always uncomfortable.

I had a feeling we were being watched and I glanced behind me for a second before turning back.

"You want to be back there before I saved you? I could do that."

"Oh no, I just thought there was someone there, I guess I was imagining things." Why does he have to have good hearing? I forgot demons have sharper hearing than humans.

I felt something sliding the side of my face. I wiped it off and saw blood on my hands. They must've only given me a scratch this time. They might do it even worse next time. Dammit Kurama why did you have to stop them?

Normal POV

Unknown to Shuuichi and Kurama they were being watched. A figure in the shadows smirked. Obviously proud that the great Youko Kurama didn't sense him and the human his master was after did. Youkoshould be more careful, the toddler was right. Some disturbance is around this district and he doesn't know the cause of it is right beside him. The man thought before disappearing in a cloud of black smoke.

Like it? I tried to continue without it being boring so I did my best.

Review!
