New look that came
with another wilted petal
As soon as the daybreak brought out the sun, people began to rush on the streets like working bees, all kind of people in all kind of cars � trapped in traffic. As Demasduit walked on by in her new body she could only look curious in her reflections. She stopped in front of a shop�s window to see herself better. She could not believe full enough her new brown eyes to what she saw. Her much shorter light-brown, slightly wavy, hair that was merely just over her shoulders. Her new skin did not have the same glow it had before and it looked so different yet still nice. She touched her soft cheek with her hand and continued to gaze onto her reflection while people were passing her swiftly.
�My word these mortals are rushing their lives around here, to think that they are so weak too. Satomi�s body is no exception from that� This is quite an interesting experience in deed. Everything feels so confusing to me. It will take me a while till I�ll get use to this new body� Kurama! I have to find him. I wonder where he could be. I can sense his youryoku. He was here a while ago. If I�ll follow his sent I�m bound to find him sooner or later.�
Shuichi Minamino had just dropped off the Subway train and was heading towards Kyoshi University. As he walked on he kept thinking about what will awate him today and what if he would meet his assassin in this very day. He arrived soon in less than ten minutes at his school.
�Oi! Shuichi-kun!� yelled one of his schoolmates that were sitting at the gate.
�Hy guys.� Minamino responded when he reached them.
�Eh? Shuichi, you look rather pale as if you�ve seen a ghost. You okay?�
�More like dreamed of one� �I�m okay. It�s nothing. I just had a rough night. That�s all. Really!�
�Well I hope you got some rest cause we have a test at Philosophy today��
�And those sport exams too!� continued to say the other boy.
�I donno Shuichi-kun. I think it would�ve been best to stay at home or something. You picked the wrong day to act strong and come tired at school.�
�C�mon guys. Be serious. I�m okay.�
�Okay. Whatever you say. You know best.�
�Say, Minamino, can I ask you a favor. You see I got this problem at geometry and��
�I can sense his aura. He�s here somewhere. Kurama is around here, somewhere close.� Demasduit said as she passed by the school from the other side of the road.
As she realized from where was the aura coming from she stopped and to think up her counter.
�So this is the place where he usually wastes his time. Right now he is surely in there. I�m positive. The only thing that I am curios of is his looks. For all I know he surely taken and image of a human. The thing is I do not know how he looks like a human.�
While she was lost in her thoughts something was rubbing against her legs. Startled she looked down and she saw a little black kitten at her feet. She took the animal in her hand and stroke its fur.
�What are you doing all alone on the street little fella? Want me to take care of you for a while�.Yukio? What do you? Do you like the name?
The little kitten could only stare at her with its big eyes and meow.
As the hours went by Satomi contemplated and focused on her new body. It was still way too soon for her to get use to it. Soon, along with the mid-day hour, lunch time came up, so all the students rushed outside to go and eat. Satomi sat with her new friend on a bench and paid attention to every person. She could clearly sense Kurama�s youryoku.
�Kurama! Yo, Kurama!� Yusuke shouted.
In an instant, Satomi turned her eyes toward the black haired punk and his curly light-brown companion. As she paid closely attention she saw a long red hair student coming from the school towards them.
�They called him Kurama! Now that is interesting. He must be the one!�
�Hey guys! How are you?� Shuichi replied to them.
�Hungry! And in about two hours I got a date with Keiko. Lets� go eat something!�
�Yeah! I�m starving!� Kuwabara approved.
Satomi went up closer to them, yet far enough so they couldn�t notice her.
�I can sense youryoku. In fact two types! I�m sure one of them is Kurama�s. There�s no doubt about it. So this is Kurama�s new look: red hair and emerald eyes. I�d confuse him myself with a girl for that feminine face, so typical for a fox spirit!�
The guys crossed the street to the nearby caf�. They went to sit down at a table out on the terrace. Kuwabara and Yusuke noticed that Kurama was kind of dim and pale in the face.
�Oi, Kurama! You okay?� Kazuma asked him.
�I�m alright. I guess I�m just hungry.�
�So�How�s the university and stuff?� Yusuke asked as well.
�Well. It�s all fine about now. I�m just waiting to see how stuff evolve.�
�Now, how a plant expert like you cans, can have problems in a medicine and science university?� Kuwabara exclaimed.
�I wonder what they are talking about��
As Satomi stood from a distance and wondered, the little kitten in her arms began to struggle.
�What is it, Yukio? What�s the matter?�
Completely ignoring her interrogation and worry, he jumped out of her hands and run straight to the guys� table.
�Yukio! �What in the world?... � Yukio, come back here!� she shouted going after him.
The kitten ran right past the boys� table catching their attention. Curios about what was going on and why was the cat running like that, Shuichi pushed his hair and got up. Right after that, Satomi cane in a rush and stumbled over his foot by accident. Luckily for her, Minamino noticed her and grabbed her in time before her hitting the ground. The surprise wasn�t the stumble but the moment after. When Kurama grabbed her by the waist and their eyes met unavoidably, they both sensed one another�s youryoku. They quickly realized that the other was not as it seemed yet they tried not to react not wanting to blow their cover:
�Youryoku! So he is the one as I expected��
�Who-hoo! Way to go Kurama!� Kuwabara started shouting.
�Looks like she�s fallen for ya!� Yusuke continued along with Kazuma.
�Are you alright? That was a close one miss� You look familiar; have I seen you somewhere before?� �I�m very sure I felt youryoku there. I should keep my eyes sharp�She could very well be the one that is after me. �
�Yeah� I mean no�I mean, yes I�m fine. But I don�t think we�ve met. I mean not yet. I just moved yesterday from another town and I just signed up at Kyoshi University. And thanks for catching me.�
�What were you running from?� Yusuke asked curious.
�Well I was� Funny it is cause my cat is to blame.�
�So, you say you just moved in Tokyo yesterday?� Minamino asked somewhat skeptical. �It�s too coincidental for her to appear now.�
�Yes. I just moved with my folks and I�m still not acquainted to the city.�
�If we may be of help, we could show you the town around and get you to know it better miss� uh� �
�Omaya Satomi desu. Thank for the offer. I�d really need some help with that��
�Me~ow!� meowed Yukio appearing from nowhere at her feet.
�Ah! There you are!� she said taking the kitten in her arms. �Yukio! That wasn�t nice of you: jumping out of my hands and running away like that. I really hope haven�t went to trouble or something.�
�A kitty! What a cute little kitty! Here kitty kitty kitty!� squealed Kazuma petting the kitten.
�So you like cats?!� Satomi observed astounded.
�You kidding?! I love �em! I have one at home named Eikichi� he affirmed smiling.
�You mean you still have that bag of fur?� Yusuke shouted surprised. �Didn�t it die last time or something?�
�No friggin� way! I�m taking good care of Eikichi!�
�Something�s up!� Demasduit whispered to herself suddenly. �There�s something prowling around� �
�Satomi, what is it? Your face suddenly went pale. You alright?� Shuichi asked her immediately.
�Hm? Oh no! I�m ok� I just remembered I should go back and help my folks with the bags and furniture. I�ve stood out long enough and I think I should head back.�
�Want us to help with that?� Yusuke intervened offering help.
�No. I�m fine with that. But thanks anyway. I�ll be one my way. Later guys!�
�Later Satomi!� they said waving to her as she leaved.
As soon as she reached the nearest corner she headed in a rush straight to the nearest dark and unused alley. Once reached it she hid herself well and pulled out of nowhere a blade like object and stand on lookout. Still her waiting wasn�t to last too much for a weird creature appeared suddenly. It was a slimy earthy five-legged clumpy hideous monster. Although it seemed like a failed experiment not viable, this demon was not as useless at it seems for it was pretty fierce and dangerous and quite fast on its feet. But then again Demasduit was not yours simply day to day out of the myth demon. It needed very few seconds for her to put an end to this appearance. All that was sufficient was a stab in the core to make the monster lifeless. Paying more attention to it disgusting yet familiar corpse, Demasduit recognized the creature and its� origin and lets its� body turn to ashes.
�So it�s a seeker � already?! He probably noticed by now that I�ve returned. It won�t be long till I�ll have to face him. Shit! The world�s in danger!�
While she began to concern about this, she took another look at her Blue Rose and she noticed another petal fading. This only made her more bothered.
�Damn! Another one fell. I�m really loosing time!�
