Hey, it's Teresa! I just wanted to warn my wonderful readers of some explicit content in this chapter... I'll just apologize before hand (even though it was worst before I edited...) I was in a really sadomasochistic mood when I was writing this, and it started out as just a bit of sexual harassment, then went... further... then I edited and tried to censor... XD

So yeah, enjoy ^^

*MO-MO'S POV*

"Ahhh..." I sighed as Hiei, Koray and I walked out of the dining hall and headed towards our rooms. "That was a good meal." I smiled.

"I can honestly say that I've never seen a human or demon eat as much as you..." Koray sweatdropped.

"Heh, your right." Hiei smirked. "It's a wonder she's not fat."

"Good food..." I muttered, ignoring them. "So how big is my room, anyway?" I asked.

"Well, we got one of the big suites, so it should be a decent size, to say the least." Koray explained.

"Wait, we?" I said, puzzled. "I didn't think the three of us were sharing a room."

Koray grinned playfully at me. "No, silly, the three of us aren't sharing a room. Just you and me."

"WHAT??? But..." I tried to protest, but then I remembered what my role in this was. I was Koray's woman. Of course we would be sharing a room. I swear if that bastard does anything to me while I'm sleeping, I'm gonna...

"Don't worry; I'll be gentle with you." Koray smirked as he wrapped his arm around me. I punched him hard, causing him to fall back towards Hiei, who also gave him a good knock, sending him back onto his feet in perfect balance. "That was fun." He smiled widely, amused at our violent attempts to intimidate him. Hiei and I growled as we continued on.

"I take it you already have a plan for tomorrow?" Hiei asked his father.

"Of course." Koray smirked. "Hideyoshi is hosting a dance tomorrow evening, where the Philosopher's Stone will be on display, though guarded heavily. However, the dance is couples only, so you'll have to find some way to entertain yourself while Mo-mo and I are there."

"Hmph. I see now." Hiei muttered. Koray and I stared at him curiously. "You knew about this dance from the start, which is why you took Mo-mo as your woman beforehand. It was to insure that we would have a chance at the Philosopher's Stone."

Koray grinned slyly. "It would be foolish to enter something like this unprepared."

After a few more minutes, we arrived at the two rooms that had been prepared for us. Hiei reluctantly entered his own, while Koray led me into ours. It really was a large room with a king-size bed, a balcony, nice drapery, and many framed pieces of art. In the next room over, there was a huge plasma TV and a comfortable-looking couch. Koray closed the door behind me as I walked in, removed my boots and gloves, and stared with awe at the nice suite.

"Now that we're alone..." Koray muttered. "How about we get back to business."

"E-excuse me?" I stuttered, not really grasping what he was going on about.

"Don't play dumb." He said as he approached me. Feeling rather uncomfortable, I backed away from him as much as I could, until I was against the wall. "You say some strange things about me all the time... Things a simple human girl shouldn't know. Now you'll tell me everything. I'll use force, if necessary, and there's no one here to save you this time."

Shit! I thought to myself. I should have figured that he'd use the opportunity to bring this up. "Uh... Look, just so we're clear I'm not working for anyone, like the Black Knights and what-not. Everything I know is just stuff I hear in rumours. You're pretty well-known you know."

"Nice try. But my reputation exists within the underworld, and the black market. I doubt if you're the innocent girl you say you are that you would have connections to those kinds of people." Koray said, as he moved dangerously close to me, leaning on the wall in such a way that I was pinned there. "It's time we heard some truth. Now, I'm not a bully, so I'll give you one more chance to redeem yourself before I resort to force."

Great... One more chance to tell a believable lie. This sucks! There isn't anything left to tell him, other than the truth. Even then, what kind of idiot would believe me if I told them that I was just a normal teenager who writes fanfictions, and that one day after I died, my OCs started appearing in reality, and that he was one of them?! I am so screwed.

"No answer? That's too bad." Koray said. "I dislike picking on those who are so obviously weaker than me, but I have no choice."

I quivered, and put on a pathetic facial expression, in hopes of making him pity me, but I knew he wouldn't. Koray started running a hand down my waist, and then onto my ass. I let out a gasp at the unexpected action. By force I had assumed he meant torture! But then, I guess this kind of force could be labelled as torture after a certain point. He then pushed me hard against the wall and started caressing my breasts.

That was about the most I could take. I kneed up into his groin as hard as I possibly could, but he didn't react in the slightest. I just realized then how infuriating his inability to feel pain was. I seriously considered re-writing his character then and there!

"You still don't feel like talking? How unfortunate. You'd better hurry. I'd hate to be the one to spoil a pretty virgin like you." Koray smiled, as he started to undo my shirt.

As much as I wanted to ask him how he knew about my virginity, my mind was a jumble. I needed a lie, I needed to tell him something that would make him get his hands off me, but I couldn't think of anything! And on top of that, I was on the verge of getting raped!!! Fuck... I almost wished that I was working for the Black Knights, because then I would at least have something to tell him!

"Okay! Okay! The truth is that I was just bored one day and wrote a story about Hiei's father - that would be you - and then after I died, and was brought back to life by Spirit World, here you are! I don't even know how that came to be!!" I shouted out in panic.

Koray stared at me for a minute and then started laughing hysterically. "That has to be the most pathetic excuse of a lie I've ever heard!" I whimpered. God, I gave him what he wants, but now he doesn't believe me!

Koray then completely removed my shirt and started running his hands over my now bare skin. His hands were warm, and, dare I say it, felt kinda good. But I jumped back to my senses and punched him hard in the face, for lack of insults to shout out. He hardly moved. It was like hitting a bloody statue! He looked at me with a bemused expression on his face, and then brought my body right against his as he started kissing my neck.

"Please stop..." I begged, having nothing more to do. "I'll tell you everything when this mission is over... I promise!"

"I don't think so..." Koray said in a soft, almost hypnotizing voice. He then undid my skirt, allowing it to fall to my feet, and then pulled down the netted tights I had been wearing. I let myself fall to the floor as he completely removed them, leaving me in just my bra and underwear. As much I wanted to struggle, it would do no good, other than continue to amuse him. After all, Koray was much stronger than me, and didn't feel pain on top of that.

Koray then knelt on top of me and pulled my face into a kiss. I struggled with tears forming in eyes to get out of it, but it was no use. He held me in place, and forced his tongue into my mouth while caressing my body with his other hand. Sort of as a last ditch effort, I bit down on his tongue. Much to my surprise, he winced and pulled away.

"How cute..." He muttered with a smirk. "I'll have to be more careful."

Suddenly the door burst in. Koray pulled away from me, and readied for a fight. As I tried to regain some sort of calm, I looked over to see Hiei standing in the doorway. His face was twisted with a rage worst than anything I had ever seen.

Koray gave a nervous smirk, and then pulled out a cigarette. "What's the matter Hiei? Are you having trouble sleeping?" Koray stuck the cigarette in his mouth, but just as he went to light it, the end was cut off by seemingly invisible force.

"You fucking monster..." Hiei muttered through gritted teeth. "I WON'T LET YOU LIVE TO REGRET WHAT YOU'VE DONE!" Hiei's fist became surrounded with a purple-black flame, and he shot it at Koray, who couldn't completely dodge due to the lack of space in the room.

"Hiei..." I muttered with relief as he walked over to me and tossed his cloak on top of me.

"Use this to cover up for now." He said, keeping an eye out for Koray, now that the smoke from the explosion was starting to clear away.

"Thank you so much!" I exclaimed, as I got onto my knees and hugged him around the waist. He cringed awkwardly, but didn't push me away since I was now full-out crying.

Then Koray re-appeared, with many burns all over his body, and stared at us curiously. Hiei sent him a death glare, and he sighed. "Whatever... I guess I'm done for now." He turned and started walking to the large hole in the wall where the balcony used to be. "Tell the people in the mansion whatever you want." He then jumped outside and disappeared.

Hiei stared out after him for a while. He was clearly debating going after the bastard and giving him what he deserves, but he looked down and me and then sighed. "You should get some clothes on... And then, if you want, I can get you something good to eat?" He said bashfully.

I smiled. "Yeah... That would be great."

**********

Hiei and I sat, alone in the empty dining room while I devoured a large tub of chocolate ice-cream. Earlier, a few guests and some of Hideyoshi's guards rushed over to the room Hiei blew up, wondering what had happened. Hiei told them that there had been an intruder after his father, and Koray was off hunting him down. They seemed to buy it, especially considering how many of them were probably after Koray's life as well.

"Feeling better?" Hiei asked, as I neared completion of the ice-cream.

I nodded as I wiped chocolate off my face and said, "What do you think we should do now? That is, are you still interested in the Philosopher's Stone?"

Hiei paused for a moment. Of course he was still interested in it. But he seemed to be debating whether or not it would be a good idea to stick around, considering that Koray would most likely come back eventually. "Whatever you want." He said simply.

Wow... My opinion actually matters to him. "The way I see it, is that we start going after the Stone ourselves, while pretending to be dependent on Koray. As long as we don't have to engage him in a fight, we should be able to steal it ourselves, which would be a sort of vengeance against him."

Hiei smirked, clearly pleased by my answer. "Fine. Then it would be best for you to attend the dance, since we know that the Philosopher's Stone is there. I can cause some trouble on the outside, and during the commotion, you aim for the stone. I'll come and help you out, if possible."

"Yeah, considering Ayame's supposed to be guarding it..." I muttered, having flashbacks of my fight with her in the tournament.

**********

In the morning, Koray returned as expected. He seemed to be back to his usual self, but then it was probably all just an act. Though come to think of it, his usual self is just an act as well... In any case, Hiei and I were still sticking around him, but we gave him the cold shoulder and silent treatment all day. He tried apologizing several times, but neither of us would hear it. Both Hiei and I were getting close to killing him, but lucky for Koray we were distracted by an unexpected announcement.

Yoko Kurama would be taking his servant Yamashita Asuka as his mate.

"Waiiiiit, that's Fai, isn't it??!" I double checked, just to be sure.

"Heh heh... Yes... Yes, it is." Hiei sweatdropped. It seems he couldn't decide between being amused or shocked.

"I heard the two of them will be attending the dance tonight." Koray inferred. "So that means... What... W-what's wrong...?" He quivered at the death glare we sent him. Reluctantly, Koray turned himself away, leaving Hiei and I to talk by ourselves.

"I wonder if this sudden proposal has anything to with the Stone... After all, the dance is couples only." Hiei muttered.

"Probably... I mean Yoko's a bandit, just like you. I'm sure once he saw it, he couldn't resist a little side-tracking." I said.

"Heh... Even if he is after the Stone, it'll still be mine. I refuse to lose to the likes of him!" Hiei muttered, more to himself than me. At least he was excited about something other than purging Koray into the depths of hell.

"Um... Can I say something...? Please?" Koray muttered quietly. We sent him another glare, but said nothing. Our expressions told him that he would have one last chance to speak before we rip out his vocal chords. "Look, what I did before... It's just an effective form of interrogation. When I was with the Black Knights we would do it all the time." Hiei and I glared harder. "Come on... I don't get any kicks from stuff like that, because I have no feeling in my body... I swear, most of what I did was just reflex -"

"SHUT UP ALREADY!" Hiei shouted. "First of all, even if you're telling the truth about these so-called 'reflexes', you should have better control over yourself! Second, whether or not I like it, you're my father, so your actions affect me as well! I have an honour code to uphold, and if you go around sexually harassing women to get information, then it reflects poorly on me! And finally, we came here as a team. Even though I don't like you, I was willing to set my own feelings aside in order to accomplish the goal. You've just jeopardized our teamwork, and betrayed our trust. What you did is unforgivable!"

For a moment we all just stared in silence at each other. That was some speech! As much as I wanted to tell Koray off as well, I didn't want to spoil Hiei's awesome moment of triumph over his father. Besides, what Koray was saying before was true. Sometimes he just can't help but act on reflex. Not that I wasn't still furious with him...

Koray smiled. "I see. Then I guess there's no redeeming myself. I'll not longer consider myself part of the mission anymore. But as the Philosopher's Stone will be at the dance, I'll escort Mo-mo inside, as an apology, if that's alright with you two."

I nodded. "Yeah, that works for me."

And with that, the rest of the day was spent finding a suitable dress for me, and getting my hair into a style that I found acceptable. I refused to take any dress that wasn't a gown or, at the very least, long (I can't stand short dresses!) and I absolutely denied curls in my hair (don't like the look of it). Koray was already dressed in a black tux that fit him perfectly. In the end, a long, strapless black dress was the choice for me. I had matching gloves, and wore flats on my feet since dancing in heels would be nearly impossible. And my hair was up in a nice bun, but still let most of my long bangs hang down around my face, which was decorated with minimal make-up.

Both Hiei and Koray stared awkwardly at the sight of me. I looked considerably different since I never wear any make-up or even any dressy clothing. Their stares caused me to blush.

Without a word, Koray took my hand, and led me off to the dance.
