Hotaru (Hotaru means firefly or lightning bug)
They didn't see it happen, one minute Hotaru and Kurama were chatting happily to one another the next a black blur zoomed in front of her and revealed itself to be the forbidden child Heiei. He had given her a cold glare causing Kurama to glare at him back. That must have surprised the guy because he backed off for a bit before retuning with two others. A boy with slicked back raven hair and appeared to be a half demon, the other was an ugly human with high spiritual power. They all stared at Hotaru as if she committed a heinous crime.
Kurama was feeling all the hostility towards her and didn't like it one bit, he voiced his opinion as well. They just gave him a look like he didn't know what he was saying. It was then that he figured it out. They thought that Hotaru cast some spell on him and is controlling his actions. That thought sent him over the edge and he outright growled at them. That made them look at him seriously now.
I don't caer what you think she is doing, she isn't causing any trouble. She hasn't done anything so back away from her. And no I am under no spell, I have my own thoughts and priorities in line so don't you even dare suggest that. You didn't even try to get to know her for 5 minutes before you already labeled her as someone trying to get into my pants. I appreciate the concern but if you are going to continue acting this way towards her you can forget about it. He said slowly, confidently. But them he saw Hotaru shake her head, all the others turned her.
No it's okay Kurama-kun; you don't need to give up your friends for me. They are only looking out for you best interests. It's not the first time I've been accused of doing something because of what I am without any proof. It won't be the last time ether. Don't worry I'll be okay, maybe it would be best if we didn't hang out that much since it's obvious they don't like me all that much. She replied giving a smile, but they could all tell it was filled with pain and remorse, they saw it in such a way they knew there was no acting. They could also smell the salt in the air. She really wasn't trying to seduce their friend, and now she was leaving.
No Hotaru, don't go. Kurama cried out, he didn't want to be away from her.
No, it's for the best, I'll see you latter…. Well maybe not. I have to go. With that she ran off.
Leaving a broken hearted fox and three guilty friends. The avatar didn't even look at them, after Hotaru was out of sight he walked off, feeling lonelier then ever before. Yusuke and Kuwabara tried to make things right, to try and get Kurama to forgive them but the red head was set on ignoring them. If it wasn't for them he would still be with his best friend and love interest. Heiei was feeling bad about it too but couldn't get over his pride enough to apologize. So he just sat in a tree and moped.
Kurama didn't speak to them unless necessary for a while, it was during that time that they learned the extent of how much they screwed up. They had went over to his place and talked to his mother, asking to see if she knew anything about the girl. The mother had only good things to say about the girl, how she was perfect for her little Suichi, and how she could tell they both liked each other a lot and it was only a matter of time before they got together.
But that she was beginning to worry because Hotaru hadn't come by in while and she fears that she and Suichi got into and argument of some sort. That only made them feel worse. They had tried talking to Suichi and it didn't work, so they were going to try the only person who could save their friendship with Kurama, Hotaru. Surely he would listen to her.
So now they need to find the girl, not an easy task, they looked everywhere and couldn't find her. No matter where they went she just managed to get away from them, even Heiei couldn't catch her. Till one day they saw her at the park singing for the children. All of the kids had happy and awed looks on their faces, but who wouldn't. That girl's voice was angelic, when the turned they saw Kurama watching her. He looked like he was in heaven with the way he gazed at her.
Before they could do anything Kurama walked right up to her and apologized for their actions and that he hope she would forgive him. (Wow, looks like he doesn't even care about them.) it took awhile but they finally sorted things out and were friends again. That was sealed when Kurama hugged her and she allowed him to, also reciprocating (I used that word right, right?) The movement.
Since then they got to know her and quickly came to think of her as a younger sibling. It was only a few days latter when Botan caught Hotaru and Kurama having sex, he had just released into her when Botan walked in. she screamed and yelled at him. Kurama didn't understand why she was acting this way, he never even remotely shown interest in him and has told Hotaru so before, so he wasn't afraid she would get the wrong idea. She (Botan) had thrown a fit and went to renkai, where she told Koenma about what she saw and found out. That the girl was a sorceress.
That day Hotaru gathered up the guys and told her of the dangers that was about to become a part of their lives should they decide to stay by her side. Kurama of course didn't even give it a second thought; he was by her side, now and always. They others agreed too but they were worried about their loved ones. Hotaru promised that she would take care of everything.
It wasn't until later Koenma called them for a mission, Kurama refused to go; he wanted to be there with Hotaru when she talked to his mother about the truth.
Koenma's office….
Glad you could make it. You have a new mission, to kill Hotaru Takamora…..
