Friend or Foe
Chapter 7
Izeta's Big Brother Has Some Bad News
The sun was shining through the curtains in Kurama's room and lit the room up. Izeta had fallen asleep again after she had gotten out of the shower with Kurama. Kurama had left to go see Yusuke and Hiei and left Izeta asleep because he knew she would be safe at his mother's apartment. The sun started to shine in Izeta's eyes and she woke up trying to get away from the blinding sun that was shining in through the curtains.
"Kurama?" Izeta asked as she moved to the side of the bed. After she had gotten out of the shower with Kurama she had put on a pair of pajamas that Kurama had given her. It had a spaghetti string top that had silver and red roses on it and a pair of loose pants that were a little baggy on her. "Kurama are you here?" Izeta asked again as she got up and lugged herself into the kitchen to find her some breakfast. "Well I guess he's gone somewhere." Izeta said as she opened the cabinet and pulled out a box of cereal. Izeta ate her breakfast and then went back into Kurama's bedroom and sat down on the bed again and then she fell backward. "I never knew I could be so happy." Izeta said to herself and then she noticed a rose lying on the table next to the bed. She got up and picked the rose up and looked at the little note that was tied to it with a little string. I had to go see Hiei and Yusuke but I'll be back at around 4:00. Izeta looked over at the clock and it was already 3:45. "He should be home anytime now; I better go get dressed." Izeta said, as she smelt of the rose and then put it down on the table again and walked over to Kurama's closet were she had a few clothes. She pulled out a black dress that was cut off right above her knees and had no sleeves. She put the dress on and walked over to the mirror and then took Kurama's hairbrush and put her hair up in a high ponytail. "Well I can't stay here all day." Izeta said and started for the door but stopped when she saw a flash of black in front of her. Izeta stopped walking and just stood in the one spot and looked around the room to see if she could tell where it had went but she couldn't. "Who's there?" Izeta asked but only got a tap on the shoulder from behind her. She slowly turned around to see her older brother standing there smiling at her. "Kojio!" Izeta yelled and hugged him.
"Hello Izeta, how have you been?" Kojio asked his little sister as he hugged her back.
"Fine but life's not easy being a human you know, I really miss my wings." Izeta said and then let go of her brother and walked over to the couch and sat down. Her brother followed her and sat down beside her.
"Well the reason I came her was to tell you that we found out who turned you into a human." Kojio said and then jumped when Izeta jumped on him.
"Who, who did this to me I want to know!" Izeta practically yelled at Kojio.
"Dang even when you're human you're still scary." Kojio said and grinned at Izeta.
"Ha ha very funny, now who was it?" Izeta asked.
"Well all I know is that we're related to her some how." Kojio said and turned to look at the door that had just opened and Kurama walked in.
"Kurama." Izeta said and jumped up and ran over to him and hugged him.
"Hello Izeta, hi Kojio." Kurama said as he hugged Izeta and then saw Kojio sitting on the couch with his wings folded up.
"Hello Kurama, been taking care of my little sister?" Kojio asked and smirked at Kurama.
"Kojio." Izeta said in a little annoyed voice.
"What I'm just making sure my little sister is happy with the kitsune she fell in love with." Kojio said and grinned at his little sister that was giving him a death glare.
Kurama looked at Kojio and then at Izeta who looked like she was about to attack her brother. "I'm going to go get something to drink. Do you want something Izeta?" Kurama asked before he left.
"No, but thank you anyway Kurama." Izeta said and smiled at Kurama before he left the room.
Kojio watched Kurama walked into the kitchen and then turned back to look at Izeta. But when he did Izeta was right up in his face. "Ah! Damn warn me before you do something like that!" Kojio yelled at Izeta and grabbed his heart. "You almost gave me a heart attack damnit." Kojio said trying to catch his breath.
"What do you mean we're related to her?" Izeta asked wanting to return to the conversation that they had started before Kurama came in.
"Well mother said that she is also a fairy, but she hates our mother because she fell in love with a kitsune and had children with him and she says that we're a disgrace to the fairies." Kojio explained.
"So she wasn't just going to turn me into a human she was going to kill me is that what your saying?" Izeta asked and then turned to look at Kurama who had just walked back into the room holding a cup of tea.
"Ok I know it's none of my business but who was going to kill Izeta?" Kurama asked and walked over to the couch and sat down with his cup of tea.
"Well I guess you do have the right to know as well. Kojio has just told me that a relative of my mother's is trying to kill Kojio and I because we are half kitsune or at least I use to be half kitsune before the crazy old woman turned me into a human." Izeta said and looked over at Kurama to see what his reaction to what she had said was.
"I would really like to see her try and kill you." Kurama said calmly and sipped his tea.
Izeta and Kojio just looked at him like he was an idiot or something.
"Aren't you afraid that you won't be here to protect Izeta all day long?" Kojio asked.
"No I'll just have to stay with her all day that's no problem." Kurama said and looked at Izeta and smiled.
"Well I just thought I would come and tell you what little I knew about this crazy old woman who wants to kill us Izeta, I'll be going now." Kojio said and before he left he gave Izeta a smile that kind of looked like "have fun".
Izeta walked over to the couch and sat down next to Kurama. "Kurama?" Izeta asked and looked out the window at the sun.
"Yes?" Kurama asked and looked at Izeta out of the corner of his eye.
"Will you really protect me if she comes and tries to kill me?" Izeta asked and started to cry a little.
Kurama put his cup of tea down and turn to look at Izeta. "Of course I will. I've protected you before haven't I?" Kurama asked and then wrapped his arms around Izeta's waist and pulled her close to him.
"Yes." Izeta said and nodded her head yes as she started to cry a little. "I'm just a little scared at the thought of someone wanting to kill me and I'm not able to protect myself." Izeta said and laid her head on Kurama's chest.
"Trust me no ones going to hurt you. I promise." Kurama said and leaned down and kissed her on the cheek.
Izeta turned over to where she was facing Kurama. "I trust you." Izeta said and kissed Kurama lightly on the lips and then pulled away from him and smiled.
"Do you want to go into my room?" Kurama asked her with a playful smile on his face.
"Not right now fox boy." Izeta said and smiled at Kurama and got up and walked into Kurama's bedroom and shut the door behind her.
"Don't even think about coming in here." Izeta said when she knew Kurama was walking toward the door about to open it.
Kurama just looked at the door and smiled she knew him better than he knew himself.

Meanwhile over at Hiei and Kiza's they were in another argument.
"Stop staring at me damnit!" Kiza yelled at Hiei.
Hiei just blinked a few times at how loud she could get when she was mad it was loud enough to wake the dead. "I wasn't staring at you!" Hiei yelled back.
"Then what were you doing huh shorty?" Kiza asked and crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Hiei waiting for an answer.
"Uh?" Was all Hiei could say because he was looking at her the whole time. "Don't call me shorty!" Hiei yelled at Kiza trying to change the subject.
"Why not shorty?" Kiza asked Hiei and gave him a cute little playful smirk.
"Feh!" Was all Hiei said and turned and walked out of the room. 'I don't see how I could love someone who is so much like me.' Hiei thought to himself and then smiled. That was why he loved her she was so much like him.
"Hiei!" Kiza yelled from the kitchen.
"What do you want now!" Hiei yelled back at her trying to sound angry.
"Would you just come in here!" Kiza yelled back to answer his question.
"Feh!" Was all Hiei said and then started back for the kitchen. Hiei walked into the kitchen and then started to ask her what she wanted again but didn't get a chance to. Kiza had grabbed him and kissed him. Hiei just stood in shock for a minute but then he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him.
Kiza pulled away much to Hiei's disappointment and smiled at him. "Thanks that's all I wanted." Kiza said and turned and walked away from a total confused Hiei.
