Kurama's eyes narrowed dangerously as he eyed the demon before him.
"Kionji..." he hissed. He remembered this demon, he remembered her very
well. Lovers they were not...and lovers they never had been nor will they
ever be. Kionji was always persistent of him, only wanting a night in his
bed and a few valuables.
"I knew Hiei had been working with someone but I wasn't expecting it to be you." She put an emphasis on the last word, pointing at him with a slender finger. "I missed you." She added teasingly making Kurama frown up with disgust.
The fox's eyes surveyed the area, his eyes landing of a fallen figure in the blanketing snow. His heart gave a painful jerk. "Yukina..." What did she do to deserve this? Nothing probably, but that was Kionji's nature...to strike anything down that stood in her way. "I'm sorry I got here to late Hiei." He muttered.
Kionji chuckled and shifted her hips to the opposite side. "Trust me you haven't missed much action." She tugged roughly on the cord that held Hiei, but the little demon resisted...much to her shock. "I'm surprised you're still standing Hiei. Don't push your luck by fighting me."
Hiei in return gave a chuckle. "You fool, you were too blinded by your own so called victory to see my plan." His smirk darkened and Kurama stepped back giving him room. Things were about to turn messy.
"I don't know who you think you are but in case you haven't noticed, I have the upper hand." She Tugged harder on her line but could not bring the Koorime down. Hiei's chuckle erupted into soft laughter as he used his youkai to burn through his bindings.
"I was just waiting for the right moment. Even though I was hurt, I had healed enough to were I could summon enough energy to break free." Kurama felt a smile creep across his own lips as well. The illusion Hiei had created was a good one. It was true that he did regain some of his youkai back but he was still hurt, badly. He'd be slower now... "Now who should be the one screaming? Kionji stepped back, a frown on her face. It looked like she'd fail her mission.
Hiei called forth his remaining fire youkai, extending it into a sharp dagger in his hand. His blood was racing. She'd pay...this bitch would pay! Yukina's death would not be in vain! Kurama didn't feel right. For some reason he didn't want Hiei to kill Kionji and it wasn't because he cared for her. He soon realized that he wanted something from her and if she died... The blade was raised...it would only take one clean swipe. Fear shone in her eyes, the sign he had been waiting for and once it was seen Hiei waisted no time in bringing his weapon down.
Kurama rushed towards them. She could not die! Not now anyway. "Hiei! Stop!" he shouted his arm reaching out to stop him as the blade was being brought down. The fox's cry seemed lost as it mixed with Kionji's scream, echoing through the forest.

Botan couldn't break her eyes away from the beautiful creature in front of her. It was amazing and she was having a hard time believing it was real. "So this is Kurama's little project?" she stammered after a while.
Yusuke nodded his usual cocky ' I told you so' grin plastered onto his face. "Yeah, but it was originally my idea." He walked to the bed plopping down next to its occupant and draping an arm around its shoulders.
"But how'd he do it, make a clone I mean?" she reached up to tug at one of the long silky strands that rested about it's shoulders.
"Well everyone knows that Kurama can turn pretty much any plant into a weapon." Yusuke tapped on his head with his forefinger. "So the old wheels started turning and I decided to see if he could use his youkai and a plant to make a copy of himself. Just a suggestion at first, I really didn't think he could do it. And you all call me brainless!"
Botan sighed. " You still are...but I'll give you points for this one." She reached up to touch the clones face but it swatted her hands away.
"I'm still here you know..." it grumbled. That was one trait of Kurama's. He hated being ignored.
"The clone and Kurama are connected so it feeds off of his energy to stay alive. That way we also know if he's doing okay or not and its like he never left home." Yusuke continued.
'Kurama' crossed his arms over his chest. How dare they talk about him as if he wasn't there! Clones had feelings too! "Ahem..."
Botan jumped a little but turned to smile at him. "I'm sorry, how rude of us...er...what to call you?" Yusuke shrugged his face formed into a look of concentration Botan joined him as well and soon the room was filled with silence again.
The red head shrugged, a smile across his lips. "I have an Idea...how about Kurama?" It was an obviously his name but for some reason his guests refused to see that. He wasn't bothered by it. His link through Kurama informed him that the to could be a little slow at times.
Botan and Yusuke looked at each other before nodding in agreement. "Sounds good to me." The girl cheered.
"Yeah whatever..." Yusuke mumbled. "Enough about names it's time to play..." a demented look found its way to Yusuke's face.
Kurama wasn't sure he wanted to know what was being planned but for some reason he had a feeling that it wouldn't matter anyway. "Wha...what do you mean?"
Yusuke jumped up suddenly full of energy. "Can't tell you that!" He replied grabbing the red head and dragging him from his bed and out the door. Botan followed reluctantly. This probably wouldn't end well.
Topazia: I'd like to thank Shea and Hiei-san for helping me with naming my character! I appreciate it a lot! ^^
