Hiei's Star

"That will be two gold." The clerk said, handing Hiei a small bag containing Hoshi's new collar, and leash that he had come back to order shortly after. Handing him two coins, Hiei grabbed the bag and left, Hoshi at his heels.

"Let' see how it looks." Hiei said taking the collar out of the bag. He removed Hoshi's old black rope made collar and replaced it with the new shining black leather collar. Diamonds circled the collar that snuggly rapped are Hoshi's neck. Her name was embedded in a crimson red in the front center with a ruby on each end of her name, slightly bigger then the diamonds set in with it. "There, don't you look pretty."

The evening sun shone on the training field Hiei and his men were currently training on. Hoshi lay to the side watching as Hiei jumped and flipped to avoid attacks. The training had started over an hour ago and Hoshi was growing restless. Standing up from her cozy spot in the grass and made her way to the open door and down the hallway.

Once inside Hoshi began wandering around aimlessly through the halls. Rounding one of the bends she saw a small group of guards standing around taking.

"…ya the ball is going to be great. Tons of food and not to mention the hot Lord's Daughters that will be attending. How knows may be even you get laid Toashi." One demon said, raising chuckles out of two of the demon guards and a glare from the other.

A mischievous shine made its self own as Hoshi quietly walked behind the chatting demons. Not even her claws made a sound on the stone floor. As she came to the demon that had first spoke she crouched down and lunged at the guards leg, sinking her teeth in the demons flesh.

"Ow! Stupid mutt!" the demon yelled kicking his leg in the air, throwing Hoshi off in the process. "Damn beast I'll kill you!" He yelled drawing his sword and swinging it at Hoshi. The Demon missed as she jumped out of the way with what looked like one of the jumps Hiei had done earlier.

Hoshi made a dash back down the hallway she had came form, the demon guards in pursuit. Racing back out in the to the evening sun Hoshi speed onto the training field behind Hiei. The guards came to a skidding stop moments later.

"What is the meaning of this!?" Hiei demanded, annoyed his spar had been interrupted.

"Um…Nothing Lord Hiei. We were just trying to expose of a minor nuisance." The first guard said. Hiei soldiers that sat, and had previously been sparring, stared at the now doomed guard for making a insult without realizing it.

"So, you think my dog is a nuisance? If that's what you think then you must not hold me in high regards either, since I'm the one that raised her." Hiei snarled. This was the second time today someone had tried to get rid of Hoshi, claming she had piss on his lap while he was taking a break form his spar.(1) It was probably true in that case but Hiei didn't care since he didn't like the soldier anyway.

"No sir… I'm not… I mean…" the poor guard didn't even get a chance to explain himself before having a katana at his neck. "I'm sorry Lord Hiei it won't happen again! Please don't kill me!"

"Hn, get out of my site…"

Dinner had been served and most of the residents of the castle were fast asleep gathering energy for the next day when the many Lords and Ladies and other important people came to the 'Grand Ball'.

Hoshi trotted through the hall as if she owned the place, which she thought she did, and continued the exploring she had started earlier. Not many people walk the halls at night, except for the occasional guard, so Hoshi quickly grow bored and returned to Hiei's room to sleep curled up on the bed next to him.

The morning started out hectic, as servants ran about cleaning, decoration, and others preparing and delivering food. Hiei mostly resided in his room throughout the day to avoid any and all 'human' contact as possible before having to spend hours in contact with others. Hoshi on the other hand had left the room before Hiei even woke to see what the noise and excitement was about.

Currently Hoshi was lying under a table in the kitchen, watching the many different types of foods being prepared or taken to the banquet hall to be set out for later if they didn't need to be heated or cooled until then. One of the many demon cooks set a plate of sliced meat on the table, above Hoshi, to be stored away and kept warm until supper that night. As the demon turned to retrieve another dish of food, Hoshi jumped out of her hiding spot and grabbed a large piece of meat and ran, knocking over the whole dish in the process.

The chaos of the kitchen could still be heard as Hoshi continued to dash through the halls. Coming to a stop in an empty hallway Hoshi happily ate her mid morning snack, she needed her energy for her plans for the day.

Throughout the rest of the day Hoshi ran through the halls stealing needed supplies, biting people, and stealing food form the kitchen until close to a hour until the ball. At this point in time she stood in front of Mukuro quarters.

As one of the servants exit the room Hoshi runs past her into the room. There was no sight of Mukuro anywhere in the room. Then the door on the other side of the room opened.

Mukuro walked in the room in a skin tight, show-offly type dress.(2) Hoshi crouched down to the floor and crawled across the floor towards Mukuro, who was looking in a mirror. Couched close enough to pounce, but far enough to not be seen in the mirror, Hoshi made her more.

She leapt into the air, grabbing the end of the dress Mukuro was wearing, ripping a large piece off, then make a mad dash for the door and down the hallway towards Hiei's room.
