Ren looked around the camp site at the many other lightning demons that joined her father's cause to over throw the council. They had been in the Makai for two days now, she had been through meetings about the attack on the council and was also welcomed by all. Though her days had been busy and continuous when she found her self alone, the pain set in. Her heart ached like a piece was missing, and she would find tears the moment she tried to find that mental link to him.

Part of her was so angry for the lies that she found at times she couldn't bare to think of him and how he hurt her. But there were also the logical memories, Hiei had opened up to her, in his weakest she was the only one allowed near him. Shaking away the thoughts Ren rose from her seat and started to walk through the camp, men and women greeted her as she passed and she did her best to appear friendly.

'Were are you?', Ren stopped dead in her tracks and shook her head at the ghosted voice in her head. Looking around she watched as others moved around her unfazed. Locking down her mind she headed for Jolsvere's tent in much need of some girl talk.

Hiei growled in frustration as he dropped out of a tall tree, landing beside Kurama, Yusuke and Kuwabara not far away with Jin. Pacing for a moment Hiei stopped to lift his nose to scent the air.

"She is close, cant be farther then three or four miles", he looked back at Yusuke who nodded.

"Lead the way", Hiei started through the thick brush the others following without pause. He was tracking her as best he could, but she had put her walls back into place and masked her self from him. It was so frustrating, he wanted her back beside him, were he could protect her and be with her. As he moved through the forest he felt the pull within him and he was sure she could feel it to, she knew he was coming.

"I don't mean to be a pain, but are we sure his g.p.s. isn't broken?', Kuwabara looked at Jin who shook his head and walked around him to continue following.

"Its not a g.p.s. Kuwabara it's a sixth sense, when you make that bond you can feel your mate as though they are apart of you.", eyes fell on Yusuke as they traveled through the trees.

"You may understand the feeling some day", Kurama looked at Hiei in shock as they all came to stand together at the forest's edge.

"What?', Yusuke looked at Hiei like he had sprouted another head.

"Shh we are not alone", they all ducked down low as they watched a few demons come to a pause in the field.

"Those are lightning garbs", Kurama pointed out.

"We are close to the camp sight", Yusuke looked over at Kuwabara.

"Yusuke its time to use that special blood of yours", Hiei spoke with a smirk the plan unfolding easily as Yusuke removed his jacket and started to release his pent up power.

"Lord Haku! There is a group approaching, lead by the Mazoku!", Ren lifted her head as the meeting took a turn for the interesting as far as she was concerned. Rising from her place beside her father and Rikter she exited the tent.

"Were are they?", she asked as her father came out as well.

"The far field", the sentry responded and Ren took off knowing her father was following.

"Ren return to the camp!", she heard her father but pressed on, pushing her legs to work harder. Was it the spirit detectives, was Hiei with them?

Her questions vanished from her mind when she broke the tree line and slid to a stop at the sight of three sentry squaring off, their weapons drown to fight the intruders.

"Stand down!", the startled guards did as told as she came to stand with them. Relief washed over her at the sight of Yusuke and the cocky smile on his face.

"Permission to join the fight?", she felt the tears but refused to let them fall, but before she could answer Haku was in front of her.

"Your team has done enough for us", Ren looked around her father to see Kuwabara, Kurama, Jin, and Hiei standing back a bit behind Yusuke.

"Whether you like it or not we are joining this fight. Ren is one of us, she is part of our family as well, and we don't turn our back on family", there was a low growl laced with Yusuke's words as he spoke.

"Do as you wish, but the fire korime is to stay away from my daughter", there was a growl that followed his words, that was answered with a growl from Hiei. He was defying Haku's request out of instinct, Ren understood that know after her talk with Jolsvere about mating customs and habits.

"He will be respectful", Yusuke answered for Hiei, his leadership being acknowledged by Haku.

"Very well"

To say Ren was uneasy about Hiei's presence was an understatement, she was at war with her self, mentally and physically. Part of her was yearning for Hiei's touch and part of her was wishing he had never found her. The presence of the Mazoku was reason for celebration as it was seen as a blessing to their cause so a dinner gathering was to take place at dusk.

Dressing in her tent Ren put on wrap dress, the sleeves hanging off her shoulders and the hem line falling high on her thigh. Its bluish silver color brought out the color of the stripes on her cheeks and her blue eyes shone bright. Leaving her hair down she tucked a lightning flower in her ear, it reminded her of a lily crossed with a rose, its silver white color reminding her of her blood right.

Slipping on a pair of white and silver wrap boots she looked around her tent one last time before heading out. Waiting outside her tent was Jolsvere and Rikter both looking pleased but apprehensive. She offered them a reassuring smile as they headed for the fire pits, were the rest of the camps occupants were awaiting the arrival of the princess.

As they approached the celebration Ren could hear the music of the their clan filling the air and she hurried her steps in excitement. There was food being passed and bodies dancing around the fire, shadows mimicking graceful movements. Ren found Yusuke with ease, his appearance still that of the Mazoku, the others seated around him as they watched the scene around them.

"Ren let us dance", Jolsvere took her hand and pulled her into the writhing bodies, she fell into step without pause, the beats of the music filling her. She could feel his eyes on her, knew he was watching, but when his mind brushed hers she surprised her self with allowing him entrance.

'I have found you', his voice was low a whisper making the hairs on her neck stand on end.

'Why did you come?', she brushed his mind back surprised yet again when he did not deny her entrance. Instantly she felt the sorrow and pain he had been feeling, the images of her tear stained face the day she had left still fresh in his mind.

'I had to find you, I need you', she refocused on her dancing as a male brushed her thigh with his hand, a sign of his interest in dancing with her. She heard Hiei's growl in her head and looked over to see the familiar glow of red. Looking up at the male she ran her nails over his wrist letting him know she did not wish to dance with him. The male moved away and she turned back to look at Hiei only to see he ad vanished from Kurama's side.

Again she felt claws run across her thigh and she arched her back at the familiar touch as an arm was wrapped around her stomach and lips met her neck. She sighed in content as his body moved with hers to the beat of the music, others around them seeming oblivious to his presence. He ran his hands down her sides and gripped her hips spinning her quickly so she faced him. Ren wrapped her arms around his neck as he brushed his cheek against hers.

'I have missed you', she smiled as he spoke to her. Pulling back he pressed his lips to hers and Ren accepted the kiss eagerly. When the kiss was broken he pressed his forehead to hers and whispered again in her thoughts. 'Forgive me my mate, for wronging you'.

'You are forgiven, but you have to go, father is coming', they parted slightly and Ren released him, Hiei slipping back into the crowd and making his way back to his group. Ren turned to see Jolsvere dancing with Rikter, the both of them in utter euphoria as they writhed to the music. Ren's heart went out to them, besides, they were born for one another.
