Chapter 9

Shuuichi's POV

I started cutting myself again. I felt lost without doing it once or twice. I don't cut myself much as I use to. I think I've found something to go for in this dream. At least I have a dream. I sometimes eat only when Kurama is around, which is almost everyday. I sighed. My evil side isn't helping either. I don't bother going to school anymore. I guess I'll just drop out and that way I won't have to go again.

At least no one has attempted to kidnap me this week.

I walk around the same street as yesterday. I'm starting to become like Yuusuke. I ended up in the park like yesterday. I sat on an empty bench that didn't have bird droppings on it. I think I come here more often.

I noticed that someone sat beside me. I looked in shock. On the bench it was Alex. What would she be doing here?

She turned in my direction and smiled and turned her attention forward. We stayed in one those awful awkward silences.

"The world looks so beautiful. Of course that is what people think." She said. I listened to her words. They were true after all.

"No one sees what's really there, they only see what they want to see. Don't you think?" she looked my way.

"I guess." I responded.

"I'm sorry things changed between us, Shuuichi. You were great to hang around with but I didn't know that you were the talk of the three worlds. Until my brother told me that is. I hope that maybe you would like to join me for an outing today and put this difference between us aside just for today."

"Alright, I have nothing to do anyways." I answered.

"You hungry? I saw this restaurant down the street nearby." She suggested.

"Sure."

* * *

We arrived at the restaurant and found a booth. "Order anything you want. It's on the house." She offered.

I ordered what I wanted, which wasn't very much, and handed the menu to the waitress.

"So you're doing it again."

"Doing what again?" I asked.

"Cutting yourself."

"Yeah, so?" I didn't mean to be sarcastic.

"Nothing. I just saw the new cuts on your arm. Does he know?"

"No."

"Oh. So…then how's it going?"

"It's the same thing everyday."

We talked on about anything and everything worthless. I was actually comfortable with her company. In a way she's just like me except the fact that we're enemies. People do find comfort even if it is in the arms of the enemy.

We then walked around the town checking out various places that I haven't seen before or knew that they were there. They were very interesting shops. Too bad I didn't know of them sooner. I looked at my watch. It said six PM. We must've walked for a long time.

"Hey Alex I've got to go it's getting late for me. Thanks for showing me around. I enjoyed it, maybe we could do this again sometime." I waved to her and walked fast, back to my apartment.

I heard what she said, "I'll take you up on that."

* * *

~ We're in deep shit. ~

~~ Quit reminding me. ~~

~ It's my job incase you forget. ~

~~ I don't forget it; I just act like I do. ~~

I reached our temporary apartment and went in. I took off my new boots that Alex decided to buy for me. She said that it went with my tight black vinyl shorts and the collared sleeveless vinyl zip up top that she got me also. She took my clothes that I had originally and tossed them somewhere. Even though it didn't cover my cuts I was able to make them invisible with my newly discovered demon powers. I had to admit that it was fun. I wonder why she did that. A week ago she wanted to kidnap me. If she wanted to let me have fun before she actually does then I really appreciate it.

I went into the kitchen so that way I could eat something, I was a little hungry. Instantly I felt eyes on me. Okay this is really going to becoming a habit to actually act sarcastic.

I saw Kurama, Yuusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, Botan, and Koenma with a note clutched in his hand. He must've made copies. Oh well. "Hey everyone. Nice evening isn't it?" I said. Junior must've figured it out already that it was me that snuck in his place. Of course after reading the note he must've realized that it was important.

"Where were you? And what were you doing with a piece of evidence that Koenma had that you stole a few days ago?" Kurama asked. I guess he's the only one they think that I'll respond to. What joy. Sarcasm intended.

"A piece of evidence? Really? Why don't you ask him where he got it? I'm sure he'll answer with a very good lie. Tell them junior. As for where I was, I was out going around and happen to pick out some clothes. The one I'm wearing right now is what my friend picked out for me. I just happen to bump into her on the way."

Yuusuke gave out a long whistle, "You know if you were actually a girl I would start hitting on you but I'm afraid that I'd get clobbered."

"I'll take that as a compliment. Now what did I steal again?"

"An important piece of evidence." Koenma-sama said. Sarcasm is still intended.

~ Let's play a little shall we? ~

~~ Of course. ~~

Kurama's POV

Shuuichi leaned on the wall and crossed his arms. "And what might that very, very, very important piece of evidence be?" he said. He's starting to act weird but he really does look inviting in that outfit. I lick my lips unconsciously.

"That is none of your business." Koenma said.

"Oh really? Well if my name is mentioned then I guess that it does become my business. After all, my mom was the one who wrote that. That must mean you want something from me right? Ask away junior I have school tomorrow and I don't want to wake up late like a few days ago."

His mom wrote the note? I knew she left a few things out, maybe because Koenma might want something. I decided to keep silent and I noticed the others did too. This was definitely between Shuuichi and the baby.

"I could have you arrest for tampering with evidence."

"Me arrested?" Shuuichi said in a fake shock. Then he smirked. "You know I heard that they feed you good in prison but I don't know about reikai prison. They don't treat you well there from what I heard. Plus I'll be able to escape anyways from the new file you got on me. Those wards won't keep me in I'll just walk right through them."

"I don't have new files on you except the fact that you're now a regular human."

"I'm a regular human. I guess you could just shoot me in the heart and I'll probably die instantly but I know you wouldn't do that. After all I could be useful. Now that I'm tired of listening to you then I'm going to take a nice long shower. Anyone like to join me?" we all stared in shock, except Hiei, "I'm just joking everyone no need to take it seriously. Nice seeing you all again. Night everyone." I saw him walk out after waving.

"Kurama you should control his attitude." Koenma said to me. Why should I? He's the first human you threatened to send to reikai prison. I wanted to say that out loud but I didn't. Shuuichi does have guts.

"Why? He's been that way for the past few weeks and I couldn't change it." I heard a small annoyed whine from him and saw that he left with Botan. Kuwabara left shortly after. Yuusuke and Hiei were the only ones that stayed.

"Fox, your human has spunk standing up to him." Hiei commented smirking. I guess he's tolerating Shuuichi now. Even I was amused.

"I have to agree with Hiei. That was highly amusing." Yuusuke said.

"Glad you think so. I'm available any minute everyday. No charge." All three of us turned to Shuuichi who stood at the entrance to the kitchen. I noticed that he was still wearing his incredibly hot clothing.

He walked to the fridge and bent down giving us a very good view of his intangible ass. I saw Yuusuke taking a real good look and Hiei was just not interested. It's starting to feel a little hot in here or is it just me? I felt the heat traveling down to my lower regions. God damn it all. Control Kurama you wouldn't want to jump him right now and lose what trust he has in you.

"Hey you guys want one?" he said turning to us with a beer bottle clutched in his hand showing us. Since when did he start drinking?

Yuusuke and I nodded. He tossed us both one. He then closed the fridge and went back out to his room.

"Kurama are you sure that he's not a girl with a flat chest?" Yuusuke asked.

"No Yuusuke he's not." I said exasperated and popped open the bottle and drank.

* * *

After Yuusuke and Hiei left I sat on the two-seater couch. I flipped on the TV to take my mind off Shuuichi and doing deliciously good things to him. Apparently it's not helping me.

I felt Koenma's energy around. What does he want now?

I turned and saw him with a woman. "What are you doing back here? I thought that you'd be crying." I said.

"Kurama," he said in a voice that clearly meant say-anything-else-and-I'll-throw-you-in-reikai-prison, "I came to bring her over." He pointed to the woman that was standing there next to him.

"Is that all?" I said in a bored tone.

"No, she's going to help you guys on your mission. She's also on the case because the demons also did strike in North America. She's been chasing them for weeks. Your place was the only one available. I'll leave now so that she could explain more about herself." He went.

Stupid toddler, what about Shuuichi? What would he say?

"Have a seat." Might as well do a nice greeting. "Do you want anything to drink?"

"No thank you. My name's Anna."

"I'm sure you already know my name so I don't need to tell you." I had a feeling we were being watched but I couldn't pin point it and I couldn't pick up a scent except hers and mine around.

Shuuichi's POV

~~ I bet you Koenma did this on purpose. ~~

~ No, that girl has been after them for some time. ~

~~ Lost my chance. ~~

~ It's still not too late though. ~

~~ With her around I guess that it is already too late. ~~

~ Don't be such a downer. If you want we could always go to Alex's house. ~

~~ Yeah you're right. She said that we could come over anytime. ~~

~ She's not so bad. Maybe you should check what those two are doing. I mean you're here and they're out there instead of us it's her. ~

~~ Whatever. ~~

I got up anyways and listened to my demon's side's advice. I hid where they couldn't see me and I masked my scent so that Kurama will still think I'm in my room. I heard pieces of the conversation but I didn't think that they were that important to take note of. I then heard silence and muffled moans. I took a quick look and I wish…I hadn't.

They were…were both…KISSING! And it seems like they're going to go farther.

Crack! I think I just felt my heart shatter.

I turned my head away not wanting to face that. I felt tears trying to spill. I walked lazily to my room. After closing the door I propped on my bed and let my tears flow. I felt my demon side trying his best to comfort me but it's not helping me. I just kept crying.

~~ Hey if…if I don't wake up by six in the morning can you… ~~

I stopped right there because I just broke up into pieces. I did my best to sound clear but I couldn't. Even my mind was crying.

~ Yes. I'll take over tomorrow. Go to sleep and when we reach her house I'll let you take over. Hurry before you make me cry. ~

Tomorrow's a Saturday I'll go over to Alex's house and just let her kidnap me. I cried myself to sleep hoping that by tomorrow the pain would disappear.
