The snow fell lightly down into the streets of the western district. Hokkaido was cold during winter but tonight seemed especially frigid contrary to the calm atmosphere. But the cold didn't seem to faze the locals from attending the annual New Year's festival to pay homage to the spirits and peruse the many venders lined up for display. It was on this night that found Koichi Hanamura in hot pursuit of a middle aged fisherman who had failed, on numerous, accounts, to pay off his debt. He was a sorry excuse for a man who was loose with his words and even more so his money, but Koichi Hanamura had never failed a debt collection and wasn't about to start now.

Racing through the stands he made out a clear view of his man when suddenly a flurry of red hair and limbs barreled into him from the side and knocked him clear off his feet onto the frozen ground beneath him.

"Shit! What the fuck?"

Looking down his chest he could make out the ragged form of a boy, no more that fifteen, sprawled out over his body. Making a quick glance to the direction of where the fisherman was headed he realized the man had gotten out of sight and escaped into the night.

"Dammit kid! Do you realize what you just cost me?"

Though slightly dazed the boy quickly assessed the situation he had found himself in.

"S-Sorry sir, I didn't mean to run into you. I was pushed. Honestly, it was an accident!"

Though no less annoyed, Koichi could hear the truth in the boy's voice. He let out an exasperated sigh and picked himself off the ground.

"Just what were you doing anyway? Don't you have better things to do than rough house in the streets? Where are your parents?"

A look crossed over the boy's face and he mumbled something unintelligible.

"Hah? Speak up boy."

To Koichi's confusion a look of what could only be perceived as shame painted the boy's face as he answered in little over a whisper.

"I-I, um, well I have no parents…sir."

The boy fell silent and avoided eye contact. Koichi was seemingly rendered speechless and felt a rush of pity for the boy course through his being. Just now he began to take notice of the boy's appearance. Aside from a scarf wrapped around a frail neck the boy seemed unaware of what kind of environment he was in for his cloths, in no way, resembled anything appropriate for the blistering cold of Hokkaido. He sported tattered pants that surprisingly only reached to his ankles and a short sleeved shirt thin enough to be considered as an additional layer of skin. Koichi found it surprising that the boy was wearing shoes at all. He was clearly underfed and undeniably cold from the unmistakable bluish hue of the boy's lips.

Suddenly the phone in his suit pocket made itself known.

Giving the boy one more glance, he looked at the phones screen and immediately answered.

"Yes. Hello Tousen-sama-"

"Koichi! You're late! Have you or haven't you collected our money from the useless rat by now or what?"

"Tousen-sama, forgive me, but there was an unforeseen complication in trying to obtain the money from the fisherman."

"What? I want that money Koichi, his time is up! You will get it and bring it to me. Now hurry up before your job is in jeopardy!"

"Yes…Tousen-sama."

Koichi hung up and looked pointedly to the boy at his side which earned him a severely guilty look in return. Knowing it was useless to argue with the boy he sighed and made to grab for his glasses in his breast pocket. Upon finding it empty he looked to the ground to see a pair of perfectly crushed spectacles resting underneath his right foot.

"Well kid, it looks like you have managed to cause more than one form of damage for tonight. What's your name?"

"Ah! K-Kurama sir, I am called Kurama."

"Well Kurama, seeing as how these so called culprits who pushed you are nowhere in sight, it seems you will be the one to pay for the damage in their place."

The boy's eyes widened in surprise.

"But sir I have no money!"

"Well then you will just have to work it off. Come along."

Koichi quickly grabbed the boy's frail wrist and dragged him back to his car, pushed him inside non to gently, and came to rest right alongside him.

"My name is Koichi Hanamura and starting tonight you will be working for us."

His mind set Koichi ordered for the driver to make for home and they road along in silence. That is until Kurama's curiosity became too much for him to bear.

"Sir please, I will do anything to pay for the damage, but exactly who am I supposed to be working for?"

Koichi met Kurama's questioning gaze with stout resolution and answered with five words that would change Kurama's life forever.

"Who else? The Hiroseki Group."

A/N:

Well, that was the first chapter in the story. More information about the Hiroseki Group and "Tousen-sama" will be further explained in the next chapter. I think, although I am not sure, Hiei will make his appearance in the next chapter also. I will just have to see how I want the plot to progress. This is my first time posting a story to so reviews of course are helpful and I do hope you found it at least a little entertaining. This is, again, a yaoi between the pair Hiei and Kurama but I do believe I will be taking it a bit slow at first. However, I am not ashamed to write smex scenes so those will be coming also. Also as I get more confident about my writing the chapters will get longer but seeing as how this is the first time I want to get the feel of things first. Thank you for your time.
