Hi! New chapter! I think I'll make it longer this time! Yukina is also one of the characters I like so I'm including her in this chappie!!
"Hiei! You came!"
Yukina ran down the steps to greet the quiet fire demon. She gave him a warm big hug, making him feel uncomfortably happy.
"How long has it been?"
"A week."
"That long? You should visit more! Come inside!" The cheerful demon tugged Hiei's hand, gesturing him to come inside.
He could do nothing but follow the girl into the beautiful dojo where she now resided. The dojo was filled with beautiful ornaments and paintings ever since the little ice demon began to live there. She would go so far in search of the rarest and most beautiful things of the human realm. Hiei took time to help her and she had especially grown fond of Hiei and Kurama's visits.
"Isn't it beautiful, brother?" She asked happily but quickly blushed at her mistake, "I- I'm sorry Hiei…"
"It's fine…" He stared at her silently, she had been calling him brother lately, and it was disturbing for him that she was getting so close to him.
"Well, would like some tea? I've grown better at making it! Please sit while I make you some!" She was about to disappear into the kitchen when she remembered something and turned around, "Is Kurama coming too?"
He thought for a moment, "Yes."
"Make some for me too Yukina!" Genkai said, she appeared out of no where and sat opposite Hiei.
She sighed solemnly and stared outside, where the wind was picking up unnaturally. The leaves were thrown frantically into air, as if running away from something…
"Something's strange in the air. Can you feel it?" Genkai said quietly.
"Yes, as if something huge is coming…"
The old spirit master stared at him sullenly just as Yukina came in with four cups of hot green tea. Soon the three were drinking quietly. Hiei hoped Kurama would come soon. It was awkward to sit here without the fox. He didn't say anything but merely sipped on Yukina's tea politely. It tasted better than before. Has she been practicing?
"Is it… okay?"
"It's delicious Yukina!" Genkai remarked, happily sipping her tea.
The little girl looked at Hiei anxiously, he looked at her slowly "It's good."
She smiled delightedly, "Thank you both!"
Yukina's smile always made him happy, it lifted his spirits but something at the back of his mind told him something was wrong. What was going on?
Kurama…
…..
"Welcome to my fortress Kurama… Although there's not much to marvel at…"
"Mukuro… W-What happened?"
Mukuro and Kurama both stared and the burning ashes and crumbled walls of her once mighty towers. Healers and generals were scanning the place in search of survivors and possibly the other king of the Demon Realm. So far they had no luck finding him. Many of Mukuro's men were injured or killed in the rubble.
"Well," She sighed in defeat and sat on a piece of her tower solemnly, "A massive air craft hovered towards and then sent a beam of light down towards it and… It just… crumbled…"
The fox could see that the demon was visibly shaken and so withdrawn from asking too many questions.
"We should do go after it…" He whispered as he stared into the swirling purple sky.
"Go after it? Kurama my men have been slaughtered by a mere green light, you expect me to risk any more of my men? I refuse to get anyone else killed." She argued firmly with a piercing stare, even her eyeglass seemed to glow in fury.
"No, just you and me," he paused, "And maybe Yusuke and Hiei too, I'm doing this because I'm sure that Yomi has been kidnapped."
"Yomi? Kidnapped? So he might still be alive…"
"No. I'm sure he's alive," Kurama hesitated, "Well, at least for the moment…"
"So, you want me to go with you, accompanied by Yusuke and Hiei, to take down a flying fortress that destroyed my entire defense fortress in order to save your king and to put an end to that monstrosity?"
"Yes."
"I like your plan Kurama, lets go."
So the two set off to Human World to find the former spirit detective and little fire demon, not knowing that yellow green eyes were watching them from his floating mirror.
