Chapter7: Story Time

~*~*~*~*~*

"Kurama, exactly what happened to you down there?" Hiei asked his lover, stroking fingers through her silver hair.

"It wasn't so bad… I was just told to watch over Kaoru-chan and make sure she didn't get into trouble or hurt her self when she wasn't in any of her classes… but it was more then that. She's like a little sister to me, and Kaoru, when she wasn't calling me nanny, would sometimes call me 'nee-chan' or 'Ku-neechan' it was really sweet and I treasured her for that," Kurama said, softly as she shifted closer into his arms.

"Little sisters are always sweet." Hiei remembered his own twin sister. "And you love them forever, no matter what they have done or are… something is always there in you heart for them."

"Hai… I remember one time, a month into my time with her, did she first call me 'nee-chan.'. She had just started her sword training, and killed her first life… she was devastated and that night, she came crawling into my arms wrapping her self around me and crying her eyes out. 'Nee-chan, I don't want this,' she said, over and over until she fell asleep. I could understand, for she not only killed the demon, but also drank the blood running from his wounds… it was quite disgusting."

"Vampiric blood… fire demons, youkos, and dragons also have that gene, as well as other kinds of demons. And in the end, it isn't common to find a demon that doesn't drink blood."

Kurama smiled, and then leaned up and kissed her fire demon before going back to the position she was before. Hiei smirked, knowing the small hint that she gave him on what she wanted to do that night. And with that, he did the only thing he could do, did so.


Kurama came to visit her friend in her new house with a blissful smile on her face as she dragged Hiei with her. Kaoru would love to see him, and everything between her and Kurama would be explained.

Blue eyes looked the two over with a smile, Kurama had once told her how she and Hiei met long ago and fell in love, it became her favorite bedtime story, when her nanny was allowed to do so. After some time, the Narks only allowed Kurama to tuck her in and wish her good night; some time let her stay until Kaoru was asleep.

Kaoru sighed as she allowed the two in for some tea, telling them that Kenshin would be back in a few minuets with some more firewood. Her own husband had been told the reason behind Kurama that morning, and was silent a moment before saying that Kurama was more like a mother to her then an older sister.

"I can see why my Ku-chan likes you," Hiei said, startling the girl, Kurama having gone to the bathroom.

"What?" Kaoru asked, not hearing him all to well.

"Kurama has always liked being around people who are full of life, and that is something that you give off with every movement and breath." The answer was simple and sweet and by that time, Kurama returned to a silent kitchen, and that was when Kenshin returned.

Neither Kaoru nor Kurama will forget the way their husbands looked at one another. An invisible dark heat of fire that flared between ruby and violet eyes. The whole room seemed on fire, and Kaoru felt like she was burning up with this fire, but not in pain, but the hidden deep pleasure that only Kenshin could create inside of her. Kurama meanwhile, was on fire, but this one was different, even if it was the same in some ways as for the other girl, but a dragon's fire was more intense then a fire demon any day.

"Hn," Hiei finally said, breaking the eye contact and looking at the tea cup in his hands. Kenshin blinked, confused as he uttered an "oro" in surprise, the wooden logs in his hands nearly dropping to the floor.

"Kenshin, I would like you to meet Hiei, Kurama's husband," Kaoru said, taking the logs from Kenshin before he hurt him self, directing the red head to sit down after she did so. Putting the logs down in the small stove, she poured her beloved a cup of tea and set in down in front of him while silently humming to her self. She got together a plate of sweets and got her self her own cup of tea and soon plopped her self down next to her husband, in between him and Hiei.

Any normal woman would've sent the feeling between the two and have sat down in another seat, but Kaoru was no normal woman, one of the many reasons Kenshin was attracted to her.

"We have something in common," Kurama said, with a sigh and a giggle.

"And what is that?" Kurama replied, still not noticing the glares the two she was in the middle were sending each other.

"We both are married to some of the most oddest men in the universe!"

The two laughed as their husbands just continued to glare at each other.

"Those two are strange," Misao said, thinking of the two she had met the other day, she may not have meet the real them yet, but what she got from them now was enough for her to know that they weren't normal.

"And why is that?" Aoshi asked, looking his little lover over. She usually didn't judge people so quickly, and that made him worry.

"I don't know… I just have the feeling that neither of them are being their real selves because its hidden deep inside of them… just waiting to come out in a time of furry and blood."

"Our plain will start tonight with the illusion mist. It will take over our messiah's mind and drag her into the forest where we await," Omochi declared, looking about its men with hard eyes, noting those who seemed interested and those who didn't. Those who didn't would be sent to master to "talk to," most likely to just die from insolence to their cause.

"Now go! It may be noon, but we must set up now! And Tisha, stay, I have a special assignment for you." Tisha stayed attentive through out all of this, but, he was the dear twin brother of Tsuki, and that was his mission.

"Yes sir?" Tisha asked, bowing in respect to the man, his soft eyes showing nothing.

"I have a special mission for you… your sister, she roams the above world and is helping to destroy our cause, and I want you to follow her, spy on her, learn her every move. Got it?"

"Yes sir!" There was no hesitation.

"Good, now go!"

Everything was going as planned, but Omochi felt something tug painfully at its heart with the way Tisha was acting towards even the mention of his sister… it just wasn't right.

AN: um… I all of a sudden can do this author's notes things any more… I don't know what to write about any more, other then: Does any one have any idea on something that should happen in this story, like a twist in the plot?! Please, someone help!

LSR-7: You guessed right, do you want to be in the fic? And yeah, I know he isn't arrogant enough, but wait until later, hopefully he will be.

Omochi: Yeah, it hurt me to (I was afraid of getting flamed some where along the way…). Leave the Aku Soku Zan to Saitou (who might show… though I don't know when or how…)

Tsuki: Yeah, I don't really like not being formal to people I don't really know (I'm not even comfortable around my own family some time…). And about Kaoru's age, I don't even know how long this is set after Kaoru shows up there… but I'll sleep on it and come up with an answer.

Shuro: one worded review, I'm glad I got one, though I could never do so my self, too much to say at some moments then at others.

Jay: Thank you… for the confusing bit of information, which I will slowly absorb hopefully. Dragons just seem to be creatures that could and would drink blood, after all, in some English Legends; dragons often ate their victims. And the Battousai effect, I think I wanted that, and do know, even though, Kenshin acted like some what of an idiot in this chapter before going strong.

Okay, thank you for reviewing and for those to future review, and a use less thought, for "Battousai" my grammar and spell check wants it to say "bathhouse." (Yeah I know…)
