Aloha everyone! You already know who this is so we might as well get on with the show soon. But first, I'm going to answer a few questions that were asked if you don't mind. If you do just scroll down and you'll get to the story. o Enjoy!
1.About the pairing, I think I'm now 80 sure about it! It seems like a good idea to keep it like that, I'm still not sure though.
2. Yep, I did get the ear idea from Loveless. I don't own that either, I just found it a good idea. Yun Kouga's very talented for thinking that up!
3.I Promise that I'll definitely try to make my chapters longer, it's just a bit hard, they're all unedited and I'm not sure... I'll try to make them longer. I hope that's all right an answer.
I
think that's it. Oh and thank you to Maki
Totakiyami, Snowy
Leopardess, Inu.Roxs,
Demonic Warrior
Princess, Hikaru, Tala
ishtar, and FamousSweetOnline for reading and reviewing! I really do appreciate it!
"You." he answered slightly startling the half-fox. "I'm looking for you Kurama."
Kurama stepped back slightly surprised at the answer, his fox ears twitching as if to check if he heard right.
"I...I beg your pardon? Who did you say you were looking for?" The half-kitsune asked stammering a bit at the answer trying to regain his usually calm composure, but failing slightly. Hiei sighed in response at having been given this mission, and even worse this task to tell the fox.
"My...accomplices and I are Spirit Detectives for Reikai, the Spirit World. We were sent to take you back to Ningenkai for having Human Blood, I believe." Pausing as to let the beautiful red head soak it in, he continued. "Gah! Beautiful, the baka must be affecting me." He thought momentarily and turned his crimson eyes to meet the redheads emerald ones. "We are to return you to your real family, and take you home." Nodding in understanding Kurama took a step forward, his bangs slightly covering his eyes.
"I'm...I'm afraid the Reikai leader who sent you is mistaken. " Startled, but daring not to show it Hiei raised an eyebrow ever so slightly. "I am with my real family, and I am sorry to decline but I do not wish to go back to Nigenkai." At this Kurama's raised his head to show that his eyes were serious at this statement, and shone with unshed tears.
Hiei would have said something in protest to this were it not for a sudden CRASH coming from behind, moving to shield Kurama Hiei tackled him to the ground, protecting him from any debris. "Watch out!" "Hiei!"
Hiei
looked up, growling at the sudden appearance of a human looking
demon, clad in all black, looking pale, his violet eyes matching his
long hair and silver mask. The demon appeared to be laughing and
gazing at the redhead with lust filled eyes.
The look on that mans
face made Hiei want unsheathe his katana and stab that man through
the chest. He was just about to do so when a familiar voice sounded
from beneath him. "Hiei..." Kurama said softly, causing
Hiei to look at the position they were in.
While trying to protect the kitsune Hiei had managed to pin the kitsune underneath him, (causing Kurama's blush to rival his hair once more), their faces so close they shared a breath. Quickly moving to stand up Hiei helped Shuichi on his feet before unsheathing his katana at the newfound enemy.
"State your name!" Hiei called out, before sending a quick message to each of his teammates. The intruder chuckled at this and glared at the fire koorime.
"I'm afraid I don't have to listen to the likes of you." He sneered turning back to Kurama, who flinched under the gaze. "You do not hold my attention, him on the other hand does." The crow demon made a motion of his hand and instantly the closest tree to the two exploded in a mass of splinters and leaves. Hiei and Kurama ducked down hurriedly as to avoid getting hit.
Reaching into his hair, his tail and ears perking up in case, Kurama took out a red rose and within minutes turned it into his favourite weapon. The rose whip. Aiming it at the now floating crow, Kurama made a move to attack only managing to reach as much as an centimetre close to the demon. Growling Kurama kept it back, hoping somehow Kuronue, and Yoko would appear.
"Hiei, we can't beat him now, he's too strong. On files he is listed as an B-class demon, we must be careful." Kurama called out.
"Blast,
where are the baka and detective!"
Having gotten the message the two human Reikai Tantei made their way to the back door to aide their friend.
"Damn! First we lose the guy we're supposed to get, and when we do find him he has to get attacked!" Yusuke shouted as they went through the crowd. Kuwabara nodded in agreement at the statement, something finally coming to the carrot-topped teen.
"Hey Urameshi, if this guys supposed to be human, why does he have fox ears?" Kuwabara asked curiously while running along with his rival and friend. Stopping at this slightly Yusuke scratched his head.
"I dunno, but what I do know is we've gotta get to him before that demon does!" the 14 year-old scolded before running past a Silver-haired Yoko, and Brown haired bat-demon.
Talking to each other whilst waiting for Shuichi to get ready the two thieves heard and sudden CRASH come from the back of the bar. Yoko's silver fox ears twitched slightly as he turned a worried face to his partner. Nodding Kuronue spoke whilst getting up.
"Yoko! We've got to help Shuichi, I sense a B-class demon coming close." Golden eyes met brown as he took out his usual choice of weapon, a rose whip, a favourite he had even taught Shuichi long ago.
"I
understand, we must make haste!" Yoko added running towards the
exit in a hurry. "Please be alright Shuichi"
Panting Kurama dropped his whip, it turning into a rose as it fell. A few blasts on his arm and leg, plus the amount of ki he had fed his plants began to wear the half-kitsune out.
Hiei winced as he looked at the redhead, who he had already begun respect during this fight. Glaring at the crow demon Hiei made a move to attack him with his katana, only to see a familiar figure behind poised and ready to attack. Hiei smirked for the moment, distracting the B-class demon.
"REI GUN!" came Yusuke's voice from behind, a blast of spirit energy aimed at the crow. However, having anticipated this the demon moved behind the now standing frozen Kurama stroking the hair.
"Darn nit Urameshi! How'd you miss!"
"Well I wouldn't of if you hadn't been talking so loud!"
"BAKAS!"
A deep laugh came from as he pressed a pressure point on Kurama, causing him to collapse onto the ground. "My...my.my my, such a pretty redhead-kitsune. I think I'll keep him for myself." he told the arguing trio, catching their attention. "Now if you please I shall be off with my prize." Reaching down to collect the redhead into his arms grass blades were shot at his hands causing him to withdraw. Hissing in pain the crow turned to face his enemy. "Hiss, Yoko Kurama I see. Your reputation precedes you." he said smirking while holding his injured hands.
"Yes Karasu, now leave." The silver haired Yoko replied naming the demon, sparing a glance at Shuichi, unconscious in Hiei's arms. "NOW." At that Karasu left without a word glaring at all those who opposed them, making a silent oath to be back.
"Will somebody explain what's going on!" Kuwabara yelled breaking the silence.
"Yes, I do believe we owe you an explanation." Yoko told the detectives whilst walking down the path to their den.
"As do you." Kuronue added twirling his pendant in his hand,"Come, and rest at our den. I'm sure you need some rest as well."
So the Reikai Tantei followed, Kuwabara and Yusuke talking amongst themselves, whilst Hiei carried Kurama in silence.
Eeeeep. How was that? I hope it was okay, I wasn't really sure if I was actually going to write that, but here you go. The next chapter of Not Just a Dancer. Please Read and Review, I hope you liked it. See you soon!
