On the edge of the roof you watched Kurama's approaching form. As he got within a few yards, you waved briefly and stepped backwards over
the edge. "Mitsuko, no!" he shouted rushing forward. You caught onto
the gable under the edge of the roof and held on, bracing your feet
against the wall as you pulled your body under the overhang. You sensed Kurama reach the edge of the roof and lean forward to look down. With a slight chuckle you kicked off hard, using your hold on the gable to swing yourself around and up. Your feet connected squarely with his chest, knocking him flat as you
landed lightly on the roof. He was trying to push himself up when you
strode over and sat right on his stomach. "What, did you think I'd
leave and not say goodbye?" you laughed maliciously. "Umph, why?" he choked out, still winded. "I guess Koenma didn't get a chance to
explain it down there; next time you're in Spirit World (inshalla I
won't be) he'll explain, he loves his long-winded explanations," your
tone was biting. "But I thought you were his intelligence chief?" "I
am, twenty years and no assassinations, I've reached the pinnacle of potential in that field, though when I accepted the job I was under the impression that my probation would only last five years."
"You're--on probation, but that doesn't make sense" he was thinking
quickly, trying to stall for time. "Few things make sense, for example
the fact that you are still alive fox. Why haven't I killed you yet?"
He looked surprised. "Because we're on the same side?" You laughed
coldly and shook your head. "I'm not on anybody's side; and working
for Koenma is the last thing that'd make me want to spare you, working
as a spirit detective," you gave the term a foul twist, disgust
radiating from the words. "Actually I was considering killing you, and
Hiei, you're a demon after all, and your aura is polluting my presence, but then you're in that ningen body," you pulled him up by
his shirtfront slightly then dropped him back. "How can you say that when you're a demon?" You smiled sweetly and shook your head, "Poor dumb animal," you said more to yourself than him. "Tell Koenma,
Kakoukichi Mitsuko sends her hate. Your idiots are coming up." In a
blur of movement you were gone from the rooftop sailing down towards
the verdant green lawn. You landed in a crouch, with only a slight
crunch in the lush grass to tell of any movement. You took off
running, weaving between houses, down streets and alleyways too fast
for a normal human to see even a disturbance in the air. All the time your mind was working full speed, weighing options, working through case and effect at a feverish pace. Coming to a halt outside a candy store in the heart of downtown you realized no matter how much you ran in the ningenkai Koenma would have your former subordinates track you down. They'd done it before after all, it was only a fluke they'd found you, but they had found you, and dragged you back to Spirit World kicking and screaming. And they'd be better prepared now, you had trained them yourself after all; and then there were those
cursed spirit detectives Koenma used for the grunt work. Oh how you
hated spirit detectives, and three of the ones now chasing you, you
couldn't bring yourself to kill if you faced them. [I'm screwed] you
thought, and then you smelled it, calling to you through the candy
store's open windows, fresh candy apples. [Oh God no! Anything but
candy! I really am screwed, I can't resist it, but if I have any I'll
lose the will to fight.] The smell reeled you in like an exhausted
fish on a line, further and further, until you were inside the store, staring down at all the delicious, sugary sweetness arrayed before you like a banquet of the gods. "What can I get you miss?" the elderly man behind the counter smiled kindly. "Um a candy apple- no make that five," you said unthinkingly. He smiled broadly and wrapped them up and before you knew it you were outside, sitting at a small table unwrapping the first one. At the first bite you felt your violent urges subsiding, becoming muted, at the second bite your bloodlust retreated back to the inner corners of your mind, pushed away by your returning conscience, and by the time you tossed the core into the trash can your empathy had been fully restored. But who can have just
one?
uh oh
I can control myself
more more more more more!!!!!
You were almost back to 'normal' when you started on the second ball
of sugary delight, realizing as you stuffed your face that you were
headed for a major sugar high. [Oh well, I'll be disgusted with myself
for the next week, but these are really good!] By the time you started the third apple your normal logical mind was sluggish and wandering.
You were smiling happily, feeling great, feeling friendly, feeling
like nothing could go wrong, but if it did it was nothing candy couldn't fix because everything was a beautiful gumdropy wonderland.
{sugaplum: ^_^ disgusted aren't you?}
I think I'm gonna be sick @.@
I am extremely frightened by that description you just gave
I think I need to return to the killing spree now, thank you
That's when Botan and the boys showed up. Botan came up from behind you shouting "Mitsuko! Thank God you're eating!" While the boys came down the street towards you ready for a fight. "Oh hey Botan," you said innocently as she sat down, "want a candy apple?" "No thanks. Koenma sent me the minute he heard you got away." "Oh silly old Koenma ^_^" you laughed. "And he really is old! Hahanah. Yeah, I wanted to go home, my sister needs me," you gave a little sniff but then brightened up as the boys approached. Botan pressed a hand to your forehead and muttered something about fevers and delusions. "Hey guys! I didn't
think you'd find me so soon. I ran pretty fast. Want a candy apple? I have, uh--hmm, two left! I thought I bought five," you glanced around as if they were hiding under the table. "Ohh, I ate the others already, no duh! How silly of me." Yusuke and Kuwabara's jaw's dropped and Kurama sweat-dropped. "You ate how many?" Botan nearly shouted and whapped you on the back of the head. "Botan!" you cried, "that hurt! Why are you always so mean to me?" you sniffed emotionally, your bottom lip trembling. Now that your logic was off tripping out on sugar your repressed and closeted emotions were exerting themselves, and you had a habit of overreacting in this state. "There must be some mistake," Yusuke said staring. "Are they twins?" "No, this is Mitsuko, on a sugar high," Botan said. "Koenma's gonna be furious." "No he won't!" you piped up. "He'll be relieved and happy! When I'm angry he thinks I'm gonna kill him; Kakoukichi is not a nice demon, but I'm not stupid enough to kill Koenma. You know how he worries though, I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna kill his spirit detectives, Aisu's gonna kill me, I'll
start killing humans...tut tut," you shook your head sadly. "Hiei gave a "Hn," and glanced around. "Can we take the baka onna back yet?" "Yes that'd be best," Botan grabbed you by the arm and pulled you up.
"Botan-chan! You needn't be so rude!" you yanked your arm free and
dusted yourself off. "I am perfectly capable of standing up by myself, no duh! It's the walking that's the problem. Hehe." "Why is she all giggly and crap?" Yusuke made a face. "I'm high on believing-numph muulagh ermp," Botan had clapped her hand over your mouth. "No singing! No! We're not at a karaoke bar! She reacts strongly to sugar, she gets sugar highs really easily." "Sugar high?" Kuwabara muttered.
You pulled free of Botan. "I once, ate a whole cake, hahaha, by
myself, it was, like awesome. Did you ever notice, how shinny, the
stop lights are?" Botan was pulling you down the street. She stopped
in front of an alley way and waited for the boys to catch up. "We'll
take a portal back, Mitsuko- Mitsuko!" she shouted and you frowned at her. "I'm here, can't you see me? Or did i go invisible again?" you looked down at your hands and feet in confusion. "I can see you! I need a portal back to Spirit World!" "Aren't we gonna fly? Flying's fun! Raise your hand if you like flying!" you called throwing your arm in the air. Kuwabara stared to raise his hand, but Yusuke smacked him in the back of the head. "Yay Kuwabara! My flying buddy!" you called
high-fiving him as Botan tried to pick through your coat pockets.
flying buddy.... riight
I'm so gonna kill them all when i get back to normal!
Flying buddy! Whosh whoosh! *runs around with arms out pretending to be an airplane
Kuwabara thought for a minute then grinned. "You know what else I like?" "No, what?" "Cats." "No way! I'm a cat! How cool is that?!" you
exclaimed poping out your ears and tail. Hiei looked about ready to murder you and Kuwabara while Yusuke and Kurama just seemed to be in shock. "Standing in an alley's not nice," you said pulling out a small bottle filled with odd colored leaves and some clear liquid. "Let's go back to Spirit World." You smashed the bottle on the ground and there was an uprush of air as a dark swirling circle ripped open in front of you. "I know Koenma has candy!" you called juping through.
i used to kill people?
i worker for a sorceress! cool!
