Chapter Three: Neko Nightmare

The apartment door slammed shut, the frame vibrating slightly. After the meeting with the Hokage, he had ignored Arashi and Kenji and headed to his apartment. At the sudden flare of dark aura from Kohaku, a figure walked forward from the shadows. It was male, and six foot with milk white skin and black eye's. Black hair, satin looking, and silky to the touch was in a braid, starting at the base of his neck to mid back, his hair was thick. A feral look was a constant in his eye's. It's name is Nibi. I call the thing it, so as to separate it from humans, considering it isn't one. It may look human, but as they say, looks are deceiving. It was a demon Nibi no Nekomata. It was a cat demon with two tails, one of the tailed demons.

"Nibi, transform into your third form, I don' t want the neighbors to suspect anything"

I made it no secret I disliked the creature. It could die and rot, for all I cared, but unfortunately, or fortunately, depending how you looked at it, Nibi had nine lives. He was on his second currently. Since demons are immortal, but still age, the only reason he was on his second was because a Kage had sealed him.

"Fine" Nibi hissed.

He transformed into a black cat the size of a black panther, only two things giving away that it wasn't normal. It had red slitted eyes and two tails. Nibi could grow to any size or shrink. I then head to the shower, slamming the bathroom door in Nibi's face.

-(Next Morning)-

A knock at the door startled Kohaku into waking up. His mind was fuzzy and hazy and he stumbled upright. Since he had gotten home late, he had taken a shower, dried off, then fixed the sleeping problem. Since he had been out most of the day he hadn't gotten much unpacking done. So he had to sleep on the living room floor with Nibi in his cat form, still the size of a full grown black panther, curled next to him for warmth.

I opened the door, to find Arashi, Kenji, and a few others at the door. For a minute no one said anything, then the group behind Arashi and Kenji turned their stares to the ground. Arashi blushed and Kenji looked embarrassed. At first I was beyond confused, then I looked down and discovered why everyone was acting weird. I was naked. Face bright red I slammed the door shut, and raced into the room, I had picked out as my bedroom. I went through eight boxes before I found what I usually wear. I wore two black fishnet sleeveless shirts. One was made of the usual material which I put on first, the second one was made of silk, I put it over the regular material one. Then I pulled on boxers, then pulled on black loose pants. Checking to make sure everything was as it should be I head back to the door and opened it. They were still there.

"Would you like to come train with us" Arashi started "We do this every Saturday morning"

Just as I was about to say no, Nibi came up to me and leaned against my leg, in view of the group.

"Um, yeah, just let me get ready"

Walking to the room I picked as my bedroom, I was seething angry. Nibi has telepathy, so we can communicate with each other mentally. He had threatened to tell the whole village who he was, if I didn't say yes. I grit my teeth as I shuffle around in the boxes, then put on my black leather bracers on my forearms and calves, the ones on my calves were hidden under my pant legs. I slam my black boots on and quickly tie the laces. Grabbing my daggers and serrated knife, I walk out of the room and into the livingroom. After walking out the front door, I close and lock it. Turning to the small crowd, I recognize the majority of the people present. Arashi, Kenji, Tora, Yukio, and Ima. There was two others, but I don't recognize them.

-(Break)-

The training area was in the woods, in a clearing. There were a few targets, and a few dummy's. I sighed mentally. Yukio and Tora pair up. Ima and one of the two I don't recognize. The last one I don't recognize and Kenji pair up, leaving me with Arashi. I faced Arashi fully, and grinned at him.

"Tai Jutsu only, weapons allowed, match ends when either you lose consciousness or forfeit" Arashi announced.

"Deal" was the only thing Kohaku said in response.

"GO!" Kohaku threw a dagger at Arashi, but as expected, Arashi dodged it. The dagger embedded into the trunk of a nearby tree. Smiling roguishly, I chuck another dagger at Arashi, but he moves out of the way again.

'This will be fun'
