---Kurama�s POV---

Later that night, Yusuke and the others returned from their
homes or training. Hiei went off somewhere after Yusuke and Kuwabara left. It
was hard to guess what went through that brain of his. I knew he will return,
because his little sister resided here. It was also because of her, Kuwabara
also decided to stay.

�What took you so long?� I inquired while writing in my
journal. My room mate was currently standing in the doorway with a sack over
his shoulder.

�Keiko,� Yusuke replied with a long sigh. He dropped his
baggage beside the unoccupied bed roll. �She wanted to talk about our
relationship. You don�t know how relieved I was when I found out she wasn�t mad
at me. I wonder what happened to her yesterday.�

I shrugged in response. How was I suppose to know what went
on in the mind of the other half? I wasn�t a mind reader, like Hiei. Besides,
do I look like a girl? Don�t even think about saying yes to that or you�ll be
answering to my death tree.

�Maybe she had time to cool off or something.� For some
reason, I unconsciously held my breath when realization hit me faster than
Hiei�s dragon of the darkness flame.

�You think?� Yusuke asked with hope shining in those bright
brown eyes of his. Arg, I did not think of that. �I was kind of hoping for that, because I
wanted her to tutor me for summer school.� He was now scratching the back of
his head nervously.

This time, I narrowed my eyes when I turned my gaze away
from him. He knew he could come to me for help, but I guessed he wanted to
spend more time with Keiko. I don�t blame him. She was more innocent than I.
Wait a second, how did I ever become involved in this?

�Speaking of which, what made you change your mind about
your studies?� I inquired out of curiosity. There was always a reason or some
strange excuse whenever Yusuke actually did something he didn�t like.

A rustle of cloth sounded near me, signaling my room mate
sitting on his bed roll. �I really don�t know why. Maybe if I did well in
school, she�ll get off my case and I actually get to spend time with her when
she�s not pulling the guilt trip on me.�

�You do care for her, don�t you?� I thought I felt my heart
stop when I heard myself say those words. Of course, he cared for her or he
wouldn�t have risked his life to save her from the invasion of the makai
insects and Suzaku.

�I do,� Yusuke replied thoughtfully. �You know when I�m with
her, I can�t stand her, but I�m not with her, I miss her. It�s so confusing.�

�Sadly, I don�t have any advice for you.� I turned around to
face the detective. This time I managed to pull up my mask of indifference.
Yeah, I mastered it some time ago when I had to lie to my own mother. Blast
this human heart of mine and these damn emotions.

Shaking his head, Yusuke replied, �I wasn�t expecting you to
have one. Besides, it feels good to get this off my chest.�

Really? If it made one of us happy, then I guessed it wasn�t
so bad, even if I had these strange emotions swirling inside of me�..

What about me? I wanted someone to listen to me, but I had
doubts of telling the exact person for whom I harbored these feelings. Don�t
get me wrong, but my feelings for Yusuke had changed and they weren�t
overnight. It all started when he risked his life to help me save my mother�s.
It helped that he was willing to trust me, a thief he just met with the mirror.

Suddenly those brown eyes were very close to me. I would
have fallen down, if I weren�t lying down already. How did he get there so
quickly? Maybe Hiei was right and I wasn�t paying attention to my
surroundings.

�Are you okay?� He reached over and touched my forehead to
feel my temperature.

I never knew he could be this gentle or kind. Well, I knew
he can be kind when he wanted to be. �I�m okay.� I gave him a reassuring smile
and pulled his hand off my forehead, even if I was enjoying his touch. Wait a
second! I needed to lye down again.

�You sure?� Yusuke asked this time with more concern.

Argh! I can�t take this anymore! These damn human emotions
threatened to tear me apart and I don�t even know the reason why. Sure, I had
these strong feelings towards Yusuke, but I don�t even know what the hell they
were. Why was I doing this to myself?

Closing my eyes, I allowed my body to take my true form.
That should do the trick. Now what? Oh great, Yusuke was looking at me as if I
had grown a second head or something. I merely shrugged it off.

�I�m fine now,� I stated in a voice that meant this
conversation was over. Yet, there was this tug on my �cold� heart. I don�t know
what it was, but it bothered me to no ends. Was it regret, jealousy, or even
love?

�If you say so, but you know I�m here for ya?� His voice
sounded pained or hurt. Nah, it was only me imagining it. He had Keiko to help
him after all. Who did I have? No one.

Hiei and Botan were together or I was reading them wrong. I
don�t know what the ferry girl saw in the fire youkai, but she must have seen
something good in there. Kuwabara and Yukina were good friends by now. Perhaps,
Kuwabara had the guts to ask her out on a date, even though he didn�t know her
twin brother was Hiei. Oh yeah, I could imagine what their wedding was going to
be like, a disaster if Hiei had his way.

I nodded my head in indication that I acknowledged his
statement.

Why did I feel horrible just then?

~~~Later that night~~~

In the middle of the night, I felt a spike in energy. It was
Hiei�s rather unusual way of summoning me, but couldn�t he wait until morning
instead of this hour? Groaning, I uncurled myself from my tight ball and
yawned.

Yusuke didn�t budge. Good thing he was a heavy sleeper. It
certainly was detrimental to us during the dark tournament. You�d think with
all the explosions he would have woken up or something. It was someone�s bad
mouthing that woke him. Go figure.

Crawling out of bed, I made my way to the door noiselessly
like it mattered with Yusuke. I slipped out of the room, wincing when the door
creaked upon opening. The wooden floor felt cold against my bare feet or paws.
I certainly hoped Hiei wasn�t planning on meeting me outside.

My tail swished through the cool night air. The chirps of
crickets sounded around the temple, giving it a calm atmosphere. It was summer
so it was to be expected. We were out in the middle of nowhere. I guessed that
had to play a factor. The leaves rustled in the breeze. I paused to listen.
There was an odd sound interrupting the gentle melody.

As I rounded the corner of the hallway, I soon found myself
face to face with a certain fire youkai. He must have entered through the
window for it was open and the curtains fluttered in the breeze.

�What brings you here and why have you summoned me at this
hour?� I inquired with a hint of annoyance. You would too if you had been woken
up like this, but then again, Hiei wasn�t one for jokes or playing.

Crimson eyes inspected my current form. �I�m not even going
to ask why, fox.� He had an amused smirk on his face. �Straight and to the
point. And they wonder why I picked you as a partner.� Hiei jumped from the
window sill he was perched on.

�Hiei, get to the point already. I would like to sleep.�

At this the fire youkai chuckled, �Yeah, we wouldn�t want
you to lose your beauty sleep.� His face became serious as he appeared to be
thoughtful. �I suppose you haven�t heard any rumors floating around lately?�

I shook my head. Lately, I�ve been trying to keep out of
trouble and stayed away from those breeding grounds of it. My human mother
would become suspicious of my activities if I chose to do so. �I�m reformed.�

�It has nothing to do with it,� Hiei shrugged off my
statement. His red eyes bore down on me. �Before I made contact with Botan,
I�ve been hanging around the makai. There have been rumors circulating about a
certain pair of bounty hunters coming out of retirement.�

Normally, Hiei wasn�t one to be worried about a couple of
bounty hunters unless they were really good. I meant the type of people that
could possible catch either of us back in the days. �I doubt you would be
concerned over this unless you had a reason.�

Again, Hiei chuckled. �Damn right. It�s the twins. You
already know that no one has ever seen either of them and lived to tell about
it.�

I frowned at this. It wasn�t good, but you never know when
it came to bounty hunters. The last I heard they were in �retirement� as they
seemed to dropped off makamakai. I certainly hoped they were only rumors and
not actual facts.

�Are you sure about it? There have been false witnesses.�

Hiei shrugged. �I�m not one to say, but I don�t take these
things lightly. Also I have read her mind and she was telling the truth or at
least what she knew to be the truth. Don�t give me that look. As I said, I take
this very seriously.�

�I know, I know,� I said in my defense. �Still, I wish I
knew what they were up to. It will certainly give us time to prepare and we
still don�t know who�s after my mother or me.�

�You�re going to love this piece of information,� Hiei said
sarcastically while leaning against the wall. �While I was out looking for
information, I discovered quite a few youkai crime lords have an interest in
you. In fact, they are searching for you as we speak. One of them knows your
human identity and has hired your human father to bring you to him.�

�I wonder why they would be interested in me,� I spoke
thoughtfully. Glancing out the window, I noticed a few nocturnal animals stir.
They shouldn�t be giving us any problem. �I know it can�t be for stealing,
because there are better thieves out there with me out of the picture.�

�To be honest, I don�t know and none of the minions seem to
know the answer either,� Hiei replied in his blunt way. �They could have easily
grabbed you during one of our missions or the dark tournament, but it will
raise too much suspicion as to why you suddenly disappeared.�

�True,� I said agreeing with him. They had several chances
to kidnap me and I wasn�t referring to when I was working. �What about that
spike in energy? Were you able to find something?�

�My informant was useless,� Hiei scowled while running his
hand through his hair. �So far, all we know is that two of them are youkai. The
third one has yet to be identified, though I know he or she isn�t fully human.�

�I�m guessing that person doesn�t have youkai blood,� I said
thoughtfully, which was confirmed by Hiei�s nod. �This brings us back to square
one again, but at least we know someone is out after me, though for an unknown
reason.�

�Tch, only you can say that,� Hiei said in his deadpan
voice. He pushed off the wall and began stalking to the window.

�Where are you going?� I inquired.

�I�m going on patrol,� Hiei replied nevertheless. �The three
of you are slacking off. Someone has to keep an eye on you and my sister.�

�Very well,� I sighed out loud before heading my on my way.
My bed was calling and I must answer. Well, I wouldn�t exactly call it a bed.

---Hiei�s POV---

My meeting with Kurama went rather well. I was surprised to
find him in his youkai form though I don�t blame him. Around here, there were
several places for an ambush, not to mention we were out in the middle of
nowhere. Shiori was only human and can�t defend herself as well as the rest of
us. Okay, so the ape was also human, but at least he stood a chance against
them. I wasn�t sure if he could take on some youkai in high places.

While the fox slept, I went on my usual patrol around Genkai�s
land. I wasn�t about to allow my sister to be captured by those greedy youkai
crime lords. As an ice apparition, her tear gems were priceless. If they knew
she was here, they may capture her as well. For some reason, they wanted Youko
and were willing to invest large amounts of money. Knowing them, the benefits
must outweigh the risks and costs.

�What do you want?� As if she could sneak up on me. I made
it my business to know my surroundings.

The ferry girl floated towards my position. �So that�s where
you went. I wondered what happened to you since I saw you last.�

I just glared at her. What did she want otthanthan to bug
me? Would she get to the point? For some reason I wished she wasn�t this bubbly
and more precise.

�In any case, I tried contacting the others, but I couldn�t
find them,� Botan went on, not caring if she was annoying. �Kurama wasn�t home
and his mother can�t be found either. Yusuke wasn�t with Keiko or at his usual
haunts. As for Kuwabara, I wouldn�t know where to start searching for him,
except for school, but it�s summer vacation.�

Could she be any more annoying? �They�re not at those
places, because they�re here at Genkai�s. We all have our own reasons for being
here.� It was apparently obvious. Why didn�t that baby tell her in the first
place?

Botan hit her forehead with the flat of her palm. �No
wonder. And here I was running in circles looking for you guys. Anyways, Koenma
wanted me to ask you four to check out this one site.�

�And would that be where he felt the energy spike?� I
inquired with a raised brow.

Her mouth almost hit her oar or at least I thought so. Her
eyes were wide as well. �Were you reading my mind?� In less than a minute, she
was becoming quite angry again.

I resisted the urge to smack some sense into the bubbly
ferry girl. Honestly, was she that dense? Okay, she may not be as dense as
Kuwabara, but I believed she was close enough. Besides, I doubt I can find my
way out of her mind.

�Do you think I wouldn�t feel that energy spike?� I
countered her question. �I�m not the Kuwabara.�

Botan laughed nervously at that. �Of course you�re not.� Oh
great, she had gone back into her giggly mood. �I must get you four to the
place.�

�Have you tried waking up Yusuke?� I inquired while moving
away from her. Hey, I had to finish my patrol around here. You never know when
someone will attack.

Of course, she trailed behind me. �A few times and it�s not
the easiest task.� Her index finger was pointing towards the sky in some sort
of gesture. �I�ve even tried pouring ice cold water on him, but he just wipes
it off and rolls over.�

�Well, Yusuke�s asleep,� I explained it to her, hoping she
would understand. �You do not want to deal with Kurama right now. He only wants
to sleep. Kuwabara isn�t going to be much help in his condition. He will be too
tired to even fight.�

�That�s not good,� Botan stated the obvious. �Aren�t you
going to go?�

�Hn, I have already checked the area,� I answered her and
then leapt into the nearest tree. It wasn�t that I hated her, but she was
slowing me down.

Within minutes later, I finished my rounds and leapt out of
the tree. I was going to head inside and take a nap when someone descended near
me. It had to be only a certain ferry girl. She had such good timing. Whirling
around, I faced her.

�What?�

Both of her index fingers were pressed against each other at
the tips. She had that cat face on her, meaning there was something she wanted
that I may not agree. �Um, Koenma insists I have one of you check it out.
Please, would you go?�

�If it will make you go away fine,� I growled lightly and
walked to where I had felt the energy spike. Since there were no trails through
the woods around Genkai�s place, I had to make my own. The green grass bent
underneath my feet. Unfortunately for me, she still was following me.

�What is it this time?�

�Um, he also wanted me to report what you find,� Botan said
edgily as if I would attack her at any second.
