#29: Rules

"So...you guys can't leave like...at all?" Yusuke was scratching his head in confusion.

"Nope," Hiei snorted, "that Damn toddler made sure that I understood that, repeating himself like I'M the child...idiot."

Kurama smiled softly, going back to stitching Hiei's cloak, "Yes, the rules of our probation state that we must not leave the city line. The moment we do, we will be promptly put back in a cell to serve the remainder of our sentence."

"What if you need to go somewhere?" Yusuke waved his hands around.

Hiei sneered, tossing a pinecone at the fox, who simply kept smiling. "In that case," the fire demon said slowly, "We have to obtain a permission slip...a fucking permission slip! Damn him!"

Their probation officer smiled uncomfortably, "Well...I could do that...right? I mean-" Hiei glared, "I don't need anyone's permission." And, with a blur, he was gone.

Yusuke whistled softly, "Yup, he's pissed." "Hiei is unused to living by the rules of anyone else," the kitsune shrugged, biting off a thread with his teeth, "but he will, none the less. Although if he needs to go outside the boundary, he will let me know, and I will ask for a signature in his place to lessen the wounds to his pride. Is that alright?"

"Sure foxboy. Just...don't make It weird ok? You guys are a lot older than me, and I really hate being put down as your...well, guardian."

"Agreed."
