I was appalled as he directed me down the corridor. I hated not knowing where I was.

"You reek of Kurama's sent, but you smell nothing like him- are you related?"

Taken aback by the apparition's sudden decision to speak, I decided to oblige him.

"I was his sister once. But everything is different now."

I felt no need to explain myself further, and that seemed to be enough for him.

He smiled.

The nerve of him! Producing such a smirk in my presence! I am not some harlot or child to be chided at! 'I wasn't trying to insult you, its just that you couldn't have done anything worse then what I've one to my own sibling."

It was entertaining almost, as he transitioned from speaking to me in my mind into verbally assessing my need for a response. I can see he makes a good companion- it's hard to gain his trust.

We approached the doors guarding the overlord of this realm, and we were greeted by none other then Koenma himself. I was mildly pleased that I was of such high rank... or perhaps this was my brother's doing, or worse- Shuichi's. I smiled grimly and bowed

"Hello Akito, we have been expecting you to awaken for some time now, Kurama, your brother has requested that upon your awakening that you be returned to his charge at once, and seeing as you were pardoned for all of your crimes some... odd... uh, 'bout a hundred years ago? Well, since we've no reason to keep you detained now that you're nearly completely recovered that we oblige an return you to his stead."

After this it occurred to me that Koenma had grown soft over the decades.

Hiei, the apparition, was instructed to be my guard for the time being- I was instructed to remain in a human form for however long I was to stay in Ningankai (which was not going to be long at all.)

Once through the portal, I would have been free, with the exception that I had an extremely capable defender, who seemed just as annoyed to be here as myself, we stared upon eachother for a moment, before continuing down our path.

AUTHORS NOTE: should I continue writing? Is the story any good at all?? How should Akito & Hiei get together? Should I write a lemon eventually? What would you like me to do!?!?

P.S.

My g-v-d- , -keys often fail to work-causing many spelling and grammar errors- I would like to make an apology for any inconvenience in advance :[
