Glossary:

Jao Ensatsu - Evil King Blaze. (Darkness Flame in the Dub)

Jagan - Evil Eye (Hiei's third eye.)

Jaganshi - Master of the Evil Eye (Common Used Nickname for Hiei. )

Koorime - A Race of Ice maidens native to the Northern Lands of the Makai. (Yukina, Hiei's

sister, is full Koorime. It is popular assumption that Hiei is half Koorime, given

that Koorime only have female off spring. I have yet to find this either true, nor

false.)

"Enjoy the rest of the afternoon, I'm not ready yet." This was the message he told his

warden, he seemed to weaken during the full moon. It was in explicable to him, though it

seemed superstition was rooted fairly deeply with in the ningen. He decided to use it to

his advantage. Having chosen that cycle of the moon to start forcing his take over, he had

successfully caused the stronger soul to accept it, with out much resistance though it did

irritate him that the soul claims it remembers nothing when he himself was fully aware it

did. He realized he would not get another shot at this, therefore he decided to make his

words count, but first the take over.

Shuuichi had decided to stroll to the park, how convenient, more specifically the

botanical gardens. What was he up to, Kurama could not decide it could have been mere

coincidence though he could sense Hiei near by, much further into the park, just a little

shy of the B class Shuuichi's perception. This was, by far way to convenient. He did not

recall Shuuichi being in contact with the Jao Ensatsu master, and why was he here and

not in the Makai, maybe it was mere coincidence. Either way he was not going to let his

warden sense Hiei without first being in full control.

Shuuichi seemed to be distracted; the warden was held captive by the beauty of the

pale moonlight caressing the silken petals of the tulips held with in the botanical gardens.

The ningen never saw him coming, that or he wanted to loose control. Kurama decided it was

the former, as he could not perceive a logical reason as to why his captor would want him

in control. There is a small dimming of the moonlight as an opaque mist forms around the

red haired vessel. Dark youki swirls crackling around his form as it begins increase quickly

in height, his hair length increasing in accord with his body, the red color fading quickly

becoming a light silvery gray. His ears sink into the sides of his head as two furry triangles

begin to slide their way through his silvery locks twitching slightly in their new found freedom.

His tail begins to manifest, he finds this most uncomfortable as the ningen's pants always

seemed to get into the way of this. This would be rectifies as the ningen's clothing started

to vanish much to his relief. As the ningen clothing melts into the ethereal abyss, his youki

wraps itself tightly over his slender body manifesting itself into a white tunic, there is a

bright glow as it finalizes and the loose cloth like energy hangs from his limbs. He gives his

tail a good wag content now that it is no longer bunched up in a pair of snug fitting khakis.



"Surely," he thought, "Hiei would have sensed that, how could he not?" His suspicion was

confirmed as he sensed the Jaganshi rapidly approaching. He knew it would not take long for

him to be upon him, but he couldn't help but be slightly nervous. It bothered him that Hiei

was here and not in the Makai, what could be so important to draw the Youkai away from the

border. He was not going to bother the short one with idle chitchat, he had much more important

things to concern himself with at this particular moment.

Before he could react he sensed the Jaganshi's energy come to a halt slightly above him.

He kept his faculties in check, and glanced up into a near by tree pinpointing the source, a

light swish of his tail betrays his slight annoyance with the male Koorime. Golden hues locked

with ruby ones, a clash of egos perhaps, no it was merely youkai etiquette. This uncomfortable

silence ended with the small youkai decending from his branch landing softly on the ground a

few feet from the silver haired captive, the gingitsune's eyes not leaving the youkai for a

second.

"It pleases me to see you in your true form Kurama." Simply stated not revealing anything

in his tone, the Jaganshi tilts his head up slightly so he can keep eye contact with the silver

haired youkai. It was habit more than anything, though. Courtesy was not one of the things that

mattered most to this particular youkai.

"I have a question for you Hiei, if you care to listen. Do you know anything of duel

inhabitation of souls within one vessel?" He knows he could have worded that better, but it

served its purpose. He merely observed Hiei waiting for a reply to come, he did not have to

wait long.

"I do not have time for this Kurama, If you wish to expel the youkai.." Hiei did not have

time to finish that statement before Kurama interrupted him, very much out of the character that

Shuuichi had painted for the Jaganshi within the Makai.

"Not exactly. I merely wish freedom from this human shell, to do that I must escape it, or

expel the other soul. There is no other way. Do you know a method to accomplish this, Jaganshi?"

Kurama's arms fold themselves over his chest as slender fingers tap against the flesh of his

arms, his golden hues narrow slightly, truly he was a patient person, but time was not on his

side. He had until dawn, if he was lucky, before Shuuichi once again took him over.

"Hn.." The Jaganshi smirks and as Kurama did folded his arms over his chest, in retort to

Kurama before he turns to walk away from the fox dropping his arms at his sides before throwing

in one last retort. "Ask Koenma. I, on the other hand, do not have time to get involved in

someone else's problem."

"One last thing, Do not believe what Shuuichi says about not remembering anything." With

that, he dashes off full throttle. He only had until dawn to reach Koenma. Since he was not

invited to the realm, he feared not making it before he lost control to Shuuichi.
