Kurama finds out that Shiori is getting married, and he's delighted at the news. Until he gets wind of a few rumors about his mother's fiancee...and he's prepared to go to any lengths that it takes to break the two up. (Featuring Hiei as his partner in crime, no-yaoi...unless you want it)
Setting: Sometime (what time, who knows, doesn't really matter) around the Chapter Black arc.

Author's Notes: I have abused Hiei! See his return!
Er...sorry for the short chapter...again.
"Fox."
The voice Kurama heard was comforting. It made him think he was still at home. Perhaps he was in his bed on a Saturday morning right after his mother had left for work. But, as Kurama opened his eyelids, he discovered himself to still be in the cold cabin of a snowy mountain. And this cold cabin came complete with a fire youkai.
"Hiei?" Kurama asked.
"Why didn't you tell me you left, fox?"
"I didn't think it would really matter," Kurama said with a shrug. "It's not like I wanted to go."
Hiei was silent for a moment, "It would've been a hell of a lot easier to find you. Considering your mental defense. It took me much too long."
Kurama laughed as he swung his legs over his bed. "It's nice to see you didn't miss me. What's going--?"
The Youko's question was interrupted as Hiei continued, "It's like there are some type of youkai wards around this place..."
"Wards?" Kurama asked.
Hiei nodded, "Did you not place them?"
"No." Kurama blanched. "I...I didn't know that there were any wards here."
"There must be youkai around here," Hiei said.
Kurama nodded, "Have I told you the truth about Hatanaka yet? Or should I say...Aiyoku?"
Hiei's face fell before he said in a hushed tone, "Do you deceive me, fox? Are you trying to say that perhaps Hatanaka and Aiyoku are...the same?"
Kurama nodded again, "I believe that I am not the only one with multiple identities."
"This is comforting," Hiei muttered.
"Comforting!" Kurama explained. "How can that be comforting? He wants to marry my mother. My mother."
Hiei shrugged. "It lets me know you haven't gone completely insane yet. The Kurama I know wouldn't have been so riled up over just anything." Hiei paused for a moment. "Why haven't you told me this before?"
"I suppose I was a bit too upset for my own good. I wasn't thinking straight."
"He's lusting after your mother, correct?" Hiei asked.
Kurama nodded, but he winced at the worst lust, yet again. "I will never allow them to wed. Never."
"I didn't come here to say I missed you," Hiei said before turning so he was looking away from the redhead. "There's actually a mission."
"A mission?"
Hiei nodded.
Kurama scratched his chin. Seeing as his help to the Reikai did keep him from going to prison, it was probably in his best interest to go to the mission. But he cared about Shiori's best interest much more than his own...
"It's nothing too urgent," Hiei said, interrupting Kurama's train of thought. "The three of us can handle it well enough. Well, two. The idiot ningen is never of much use."
Kurama ignored his reference to Kuwabara as he dressed himself quickly in his Chinese fighting garments.
Eventually, when the silence in the room became overwhelming, Kurama spoke. "No," he said, "I'm going on the mission. There are a few things I need to do in the Maikai."

(Note: Um...sorry for the mild cliffie. Yeah, what he's going to the maikai for will come up again. You'll never guess. Or, hell, you might. Some reviewers just get lucky like that. LOL
