Chapter One: The Wolf and Cat Demon
By: Emily M. Alice
Koenma requested Hiei, Kurama, and Yusuke to become a team once again for another tournament. "Why isn't the oaf here?" Asked Hiei, "Isn't he joining us?"
"No, Yusuke demanded he wasn't to be apart of our team. He is finally getting out of the life and we'd like to keep it that way." He said.
"Won't we be needing two new team mates then?" Kurama asked.
"I have already found your new team mates. Introducing Myou Hitachiin and Kurami Haninozuka." Both Kurama and Hiei complete froze as Yusuke raised an eyebrow at the two their new teammates walked in. The first girl dressed in black shorts and a purple tank top, her black hair pulled back into a long braid down her back. She was maybe 6'2 with golden cat like eyes with matching black ears and tail.
The next demon wore a similar outfit to Yoko Kurama, Yusuke thought, but her outfit was black. Her hair was also black as night and was pulled back into a ponytail. He noticed that her blood red eyes were locked with Kurama's green eyes. "Myou-" He started only never got the chance to go on. Her foot made contact with his jaw and he stumbled back.
"Don't speak to me. Though this whole Tournament don't you /dare/ try and speak with me." She growled at the fox demon. Kurami simply chuckled and leaned against the wall next to Hiei. Yusuke looked between his two friends and his two new teammates.
"Um, I'm confused. You all know each other?" He asked.
"Mhm!" Kurami said before shocking him even more by /nuzzling/ Hiei's neck. His eyes widen as Hiei just smirked at her, not pushing her away or giving her a look of disgusted.
". . . " Yusuke blinked, looking back over to where Kurama was getting the shit beat out of him from Myou. "Why does she hate you?"
"Story for another day, now listen," Koenma said to the group. He watched the wolf demon stop beating Kurama and stepped back. "You are a team now, understand? This month of training with Genkai better turn you into a team. There are two on two battles and you all need to be able to fight together, got that? Also, you don't want to worry about hostile crowds like last time." He added cheerfully. "Now ladies, why don't you introduce yourselves?"
"My name is Kurami, Haninozuka." The cat demon stepped up. "I'm a cat demon, skilled with five different kinds of a weapons but my best is my blades." She said, pulling out two one-handed swords. "Oh, I also met Hiei when he was doing border patrol." Kurami smirked over at him.
"I am Myou Hitachiin, wolf demon. I perfer hand to hand combat or shifting into my wolf form and ripping people a part." She shrugged. Yusuke waited for her to go on, she gave him a 'what-do-you-want-me-to-say' look.
"Damnit! What the hell happen between you and Kurama, bitch!"
"Yusuke, don't-" Kurama started before he was cut off by her shifted into a large overgrown black wolf and went right for his thorat. Yusuke waited for the attck but Kurama stepped in front and glared down at her as her claws cut across his chest. "Back Down, ookami." He growled. To his shock, she did as his friend asked and shifted back.
"Why don't you go to the temple and get them settled in?" Baby breath helpfully suggested. With that they new 'team' set off. The girls went ahead of the guys, giving Yusuke an amazing view (which earned him a glare from both demons on his side)
"So, how do you know her, Kurama?"
Yoko Kurama watched the small child lay in his bed, her raven black hair spilling over the pillow. He had removed her top to fix her terrible wound on her stomach thus her whole chest down was wrapped up. The child had to be a Blood Wolf Demon, though they were all taken out. He was brought out of his thoughts by a soft moan. The child leaned up and blinked, meeting his golden eyes with her red eyes. "W-who are you?"
"Yoko Kurama, ookami. Do you have a name?"
"I go by Myou." She replied. He couldn't help but check her out; she might be young but she'd grow into a fine demonness. Maybe if she stayed around he'd mate with her.
"Where do you stay?" He asked her. Myou bit her lip and made no reply. "You are welcome to stay her, Myou." He said, "If you don't mind our life style I'd love for you to stay. I'd personally train you to keep up with us."
"… She was shocked but agreed to stay with our band of thieves. I trained her myself and she became one of the best. She was loyal to me, not the treasures we stole. Which was why after four years of her spending time with me I was to make her my mate when she turned sixteen."
"Whoa, you pedo!" Yusuke laughed, clutching his stomach. How could he not think that? Yoko was old, and Myou was only sixteen? He nearly laughed at Kurama the whole way to the Temple.
"What are you laughing at, dimwit?" The old hag asked as they reached her temple.
"Nothing, ya old hag."
"You must be the new teammates." Genkai asked the ladies, they nodded. "Good, Yusuke will need a babysitter." Yusuke glared. "I'll have Yukina show you to your rooms were you can settle in. Then go clean up for dinner." The ladies nodded and followed the young ice maiden. "What the hell happen to you, Kurama?" She asked, gesturing toward the black and blue on his jaw and the blood stain cloth.
"His old girlfriend kicked his ass." Yusuke snickered.
"I deserved more." He replied, making his way to the house. Kurama mind was on Myou the whole time he laid on his bed. She was so young, alone, but she always had a strong face on to mask her emotions. Though he wanted to ask her so many questions, he knew that she wouldn't answer.
Myou and Kurami sat in the cat's room. Kurami was worried about her friend; she knew being around her ex mate would be hard but she'd have to deal with it. "Is the revenge worth this, Myou?" She asked.
"Yes." She didn't even hesitate. The cat sighed, she only joined along with her friend for the treasure the winner gets (She has a weakness for shinning things). That is how the two friends met, over a shinny gem. Myou saved the cat demon when a demon was going to get her from behind. She was to distract by the gem to notice.
Ever since then the two were each other partner and had each other's backs. If it weren't for Kurami, Myou would have been dead a while ago as the same for Kurami. "Dinner is done!" Kurami grinned cheerful; she smelt the food from miles away. They chuckled and made there way out only to have Myou bump into Kurama. He was only wearing bottoms seeing how his chest was bandaged from her cut.
"Sorry…" She muttered, pulling her eyes from his body and kept walking as fast as she could. She heard him sigh and Kurami chuckle. Myou ended up sitting next to Kurama and Genkai as Kurami set by Hiei and Yusuke. Most of dinner was in silence and Myou just poked at her food.
"What, don't you like the food?" The old woman asked.
"Oh, no, it's amazing. I'm just distracted tonight. Forgive me."
"You are just as bad as Kurama with those damn manners. Yusuke, why can't you pick them up?" The whole table chuckled. Myou stood up and looked at Genkai,
"Would you care if I went for a run? I think I need air." Soon as the older woman nodded she took off. Kurama stood up after her and just sighed.
"Let her go, Kurama." The cat demon told him. "She needs time."
"Can you tell me-"
"I cannot tell you anything about her, just that you hurt her badly by never trying to find her."
"I tried though damnit!" He growled. Everyone looked at him, the saw a flash of gold in his eyes and he went for the door. Kurami blocked it, her claws ready.
"You will not talk to her till tomorrow and you are calm, understand?" She hissed, "You owe her that much."
"Talking can wait, because Tomorrow is your first day of training." Genkai told them before leaving for bed. The cat demon huffed and went to her room. She went in and closed the door only to find Hiei making himself comfortable on /her/ bed. She smirked,
"What do you think you are doing?" She asked the shirtless demon.
"Going to sleep, if I'm not mistaken." She simply rolled her eyes and undressed into a black lace bra and panties. Kurami watched his face scan down her body with lust.
"Still plan on sleeping?" She smirked. He made no reply, his lips pushed against her in a lustful kiss and pulled her down to bed with him.
