"So, what's the deal, Koenma?" Yusuke slumped into one of the prince's office chairs, half asleep.
"Yes. It's a bit late for a sleepover," Kurama yawned. His red hair was gently messed, but his eyes were fully awake. He hadn't gone to sleep, but had sat there mulling over Hiei.
"It's about Kuro Kaze." The Prince looked warily around, just to see if Hiei was there.
"Oh, yeah, she stopped by my place. Lookin' for Hiei," Yusuke said.
"Yes, she came by looking for Hiei at my apartment as well. She looked as if she had been...crying," The youko said.
"She did? That mean's she's in the Ningenkai. Hey, where's Kuwabara?" Keonma looked around. It had been a long night.
"Uh, Sir?" George the Oni peeked in. "I wasn't able to reach Kuwabara, sir. He's not answering his phone."
"I'll call his cell phone. The guy's probably asleep." Yusuke reached into his pocket, eyes half-open. "He sleeps like a rock."
"Anyways....Hiei came to me earlier tonight." Koenma swallowed. "Wanted advice."
"Advice?" 'He usually comes to me for that,' Kurama thought.
"He's got his cell phone off too. That's wierd," Yusuke said. "What did Hiei want?"
"He says-" Koenma started.
"Say it and die," Hiei's voice said. He oozed out of the far shadow in Koenma's office, holding a book. The cover was hidden by a paper bag.
"Hello, Hiei." Kurama looked at him.
"What's up, Hiei?" Yusuke snorted.
"I don't want them knowing mine and Kuro's business. Say it and die. And the oaf is not asleep." Hiei's eyes darted from word to word on the book's page.
"Hiei, did you...?" Kurama gasped.
"No. I was tempted. He is talking to Kuro." He smiled. "I overheard them."
"He's talking to Kuro?" The detective said.
"Yes. It seems she trusts him, though why I don't know," He said.
"Interesting," Koenma said and smiled.
Kuro sat on Kuwabara's window ledge. She looked at her watch. None of the hands moved. It had turned out the portal had already closed, so she was stuck in the Ningenkai. Kuwabara had offered her a spot on her couch, but she coudln't intrude like that. He had already listened to her whole sad story.
"He'll come back...He has to," He yawned. Sitting on the end of his bed, he looked at her.
"No, he doesn't. I better be going...Thank you, Kazuma," She said.
"Anytime. Uh, I have a question."
"Anything, ask away."
"How did you know all that stuff the first time we met?" He scratched his head.
"Ah, that. Well, I'd been following you around for a few months. You're not a very good student, are you?" She smiled feebly.
"Heh, no. I hate school."
"I have to go now. Goodbye and thank you, Kazuma-chan..." She dissappeared into the night, leaving a small bag on the ledge.
"What is this?" He picked it up. After untying the small bow, he opened it.
At what he saw, he gasped. Atleast two dozen of the Hiruseki gems were in the palm of his hand. In the center of them all, was a red one.
She headed on silent feet for Koenma's palace. She had caught the last portal to the Reikai, just in the nick of time.
"Please be there," She said to herself as she neared it. On her right side was the beautiful River Styx, and she was walking in the Land of the Dead.
She jumped up to the sunroof in his office. What she saw there made her tear up again. Kurama, Yusuke and Hiei were talking to Koenma. Every so often Hiei would flip the page in the book he was reading. She could see their mouths move, but could not hear their words.
Then Hiei looked up.
He saw her.
She saw him.
He gently caught a black drop of Hiruseki rolling down his cheek. Then he looked as if he had excused himself, and walked out of the office. Yusuke dropped his head on the back of his chair just in time to see the last bit of her black cloak, as she went to the edge of the roof.
"Hiei!" She started crying as he leapt up to the roof.
"Kuro, what are you doing here? Koenma wants to throw you in the Reikai jail..." He threw his arms around her and hugged her close.
"I don't care...Oh, Hiei, I'm sorry..." She sobbed into his shoulder, the gems of her tears plinking to the ground.
"No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left. How could you think I was mad at you?"
"You....aren't angry?"
"No...I'm scared that I wouldn't be a good father...what do you think I was reading, manga?" He gently laughed. "I'm so proud I could burst!"
"Oh, Hiei...Thank kami...." She whispered.
Hiei looked at his beautiful wife. "So, what did that....oaf Kuwabara say?"
"I thought I felt you near....He's such a good listener..." She sighed. "That reminds me, why did you set up that date for Yukina-san?"
"I...didn't want her dating him. But I guess she is anyway."
"Yes. I noticed he had a bouqet of flowers on his desk. The tag said 'To the Apple of my Eye'."
"I'll be right back. Wait. Shouldn't you be back in the Makai by now?" He looked at the moon. It was past it's zenith.
"My watch stopped, so I thought I still had plenty of time. The portal already closed." She sighed again, and let go of him.
"Oh. That creates a problem." He blinked, as another black Hiruseki drop rolled down his cheek.
"Go back in there and finish your discussion. What were you talking about, anyway?"
"Nothing, really. Just the next case." He smiled, showing his small fangs.
"Where'd you go, Hiei?" Koenma looked at the fire demon as he re-entered.
"I...thought I saw something. Uh, Koenma, May I speak to you in private after you get through yabbering?" He swallowed hard, and stared at his shoes.
"Uh, sure, Hiei. As I was saying-"
"Uh, Sir?" George opened the door again.
"What is it this time?"
"I got Kuwabara. He's here, Sir." He opened the door for the ningen, fully.
"Nice of you to join us, Kuwabara," Koenma said.
"Uh, sorry about that. I was uh," He thought for a while.
"Talking to my wife?" Hiei looked over his book at him.
"Uh, erm, you could say that. She told me-" He started.
"Say it and die, fool," Hiei said.
"Eep," Kuwabara squeeked.
"I'm confused. Do you get the feeling they know something we don't, Kurama?" Yusuke looked at the youko.
"Yes, Yusuke. Yes, I do." He smiled.
Kuro sat at the edge of the sunroof. She was watching the tantei and their boss, and also playing with a few Hiruseki gems. A newly found smile was taking up residence on her face, a new hope lived in her heart.
Suddenly Kuwabara entered. Her heart and the hope in it jumped. 'Will he sense me?' She thought. 'Please, oh please, don't let him sense me!'
She backed away from the glass. Looking behind her, she could see the rosy-fingered dawn making its way into the world. Soon Yusuke, Kurama, and probably Kuwabara would be leaving, and she and Hiei would be able to talk to Koenma. Atleast, she hoped so.
Kuwabara sighed. He had a nagging feeling in the back of his head, telling him that he should do something he knew he couldn't do. It told him to ask Kuro how she had cried the red one. But he was afraid that it hadn't come from one of her tears.
He slipped his hand inside his pocket. The Hiruseki were there, along with the red one. He fingered it, seeing it in his mind's eye.
"Kuwabara? Earth to Kuwabara!" Yusuke looked at the tall teen.
"Huh? Oh, sorry. I've....had a long night," He said.
"Do you think it would be okay if we left you on this one?" Koenma asked. "We're supposed to be accessing a place only demons can go. It would kill you if you even stepped inside the castle."
"Uh...sure. I guess." He nodded.
"Are you okay, Kuwabara? You look rather stressed," Kurama said.
"Uh, yeah, I'm okay." He folded his arms, the red gem in his left hand.
They went back to talking. Suddenly, a new voice entered his mind. It belonged to Hiei.
~Kuwabara, are you listening?~ He said.
~What do you want, shrimp?~ He tried not to look at the demon.
~It's....about Yukina.~
~What about her?~
~You do know she is my sister, don't you?~
His heart sunk. He stared at Hiei, in disbelief. The beautiful and perfect Koorime was /i sister?! It...just couldn't be.
~I take it you didn't know.~ Hiei smiled at him over his book.
~Uh....no.~
~Good. You tell her, you die.~
~Uh....okay.~
~If you want to date her, there are conditions.~
~I thought she was going out with some....ice demon.~
~Heh, he was a butthead. She dumped him before they even had dinner. I would tell you what they were supposed to eat, but all I can say is you might've been the main course,~ He said into the ningen's mind.
~Uh.....no comment.~ Kuwabara grimaced and closed his eyes.
"Hey Hiei, what book are you reading?" Yusuke walked over to the demon.
"Uh...m-manga." He lied, and closed it.
"Tch! You? Reading manga? That's a laugh and a half. Come on, what're you reading?" The detective started to grab for it.
"Leave me alone, Yusuke. Not unless you want a certain someone to know who really broke her oar..." Hiei smiled, showing miniscule fangs.
"You wouldn't." Yusuke narrowed his eyes.
"Try me, detective." Hiei chuckled.
"Eh, I don't really care. You can tell her!!!" Yusuke went for the book again and succeeded in ripping part of the bag off.
"Hey!" Hiei stuffed it inside his cloak and glared at Yusuke.
"Dangit. Come on, Hiei, old buddy old pal!!! Please?" The detective threw the paper behind him and begged the merciless fire demon once more.
"No. Now go away." Hiei stuck out his tongue and glanced up. Then, turning to his boss, he put his toungue back in his mouth and sent a message to the Reikai prince.
~Koenma, can we talk yet?~ He waited for the approving nod and then stalked out of the room, Koenma following.
CHAPTER THREE IS NOW....FINISHED!!!! Chappy four is up and coming, so get ready!!!
