Hiei silently glared at Akane across the room. The group was all sitting peacefully, drinking the green tea Keiko prepared for them. Akane meanwhile was returning Hiei's glares with funny faces.

"Where the Hell is Koenma?!" Yuske said after an hour of silence.

"He is a busy man, Yuske." Botan said.

"Probably busy taking a nap." Yuske grumbled.

"I heard that, Yuske." an older Koenma said. "So, I am finally meeting Kurama's girlfriend."

"Yep!" Akane said cheerfully, hitting a blushing Kurama on the back.

"But, more importantly we have to get to down to bussiness. Betraying sides is something that Kouji would---"

"Who the Hell is Kouji?" Yuske cut in.

"The demon after you four, and now after her to. Now...as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, betraying sides is something Kouji is going to tolerate. I'm afraid Akane is going to have to stay at a safehouse, and it can't be at either of your houses, sorry Kurama." Koenma said winking.

"Wait a minute, how do we know she's even switched sides." Kuwabara said out of nowhere.

"Does anything penetrate that thick skull of yours? You heard Koenma, this Kouji guy wants her dead. Even you wouldn't be that stupid to joke about that. Or maybe you would be." Hiei said smirking.

"Take that back you midget!!"

"Kuwabara. This is serious. I've seen what Kouji does to his betrayers, I've had to hunt every single one of them down myself, bring them back, and watch them get tortured..." Akane said seriously. "Sometimes he even does that to people who haven't betrayed them to remind them what happens if we do."

"Tortured?" Kuwabara said shaking.

"Yes. Getting whipped from dawn to dusk and going without food until they die, Cutting off fingers...some people try to kill themselves just to escape from it all." Akane said sadly.

"How pleasant." Hiei said sarcastically taking another sip of tea.

"Akane have you---" Keiko asked then stopped.

"I've been punished Keiko." Akane said looking into her tea.

"How often?" Botan asked without thinking. Koenma threw her an angry look, but Akane continued to look into her cup.

"Well, alot. If Kouji feels like I haven't told him I loved him, or I don't catch someone fast enough." Kurama gritted his teeth, and his hand's grip tightened on his tea.

"That's awful!" Botan said indignantly.

"That's enough. The bottom line is, we have to put a stop to Kouji's operations. His other assassin is looking for us." Koenma said wisely.

"But how do you we even find him, it seems he ain't coming out in the open anytime soon." Yuske said.

"True, and our hideout isn't easy to find." Akane said regretfully. "But I'm pretty sure Kurama knows where it is."

"How does---"

"I have my ways, Yuske." Kurama said calmly.

"Anyway, if we do this right we can have them arrested tommorow, I'm sorry I took so long. I was in the middle of a facial..." Koenma said.

*everyone falls over*

"Well, I'm going to take Akane to the safehouse. Only Botan, Jin, Touya and I know where it is." Koenma said. "Well, come along Akane." Koenma said getting up. Akane got up, and slowly walked out, Kurama's eyes never left Akane untill she got out. He sighed, and took another sip of tea.

"Well, we better be on gaurd tonight," Kurama said. "I will see you all in the morning." And with that Kurama slowly left the Uramishi house, knowing that he being was followed.

~~~

"Jin, Touya, meet Akane." Koenma said once they got to the location.

"Hello." Akane said bowing, "it's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you to, I'm sorry we had to meet under these circumstances." Touya said politely.

"Ah, don't be such a killjoy!^_^" Jin said, "We're happy to meetya either way!"

Akane giggled, but Koenma had a stern look on his face. "We'll tell you if it's alright to step out. In the meantime keep her entertained, and protect her, she has been through alot."

"Wait! Koenma sir, thank you ever so much for doing this, if I could but one more favor?" Akane said.

"Sure, seeing as how you are the only one who shows me respect, I'll be more than happy to!" Koenma said.

"Thank you. Please, tell Kurama I love him and...give him this!" Akane kissed Koenma on the cheek, oblivious to Botan's glares.

"Erm. No problem, but it would probably won't be the same...coming from me and all." Koenma said, laughing.

"KOENMA, SIR I REALLY THINK WE SHOULD GET GOING!" Botan said.

"Oh, well goodbye!" Akane said waving.

~~~

"Okay, you can show yourself now." Kurama said calmly when he got into his bedroom.

"You really do take all the fun out of following someone..." drawled Megumi.

"Aka--" Kurama asked looking at the figure straight ahead of him. She had the same hair, beautiful eyes, fair skin, everything that he noticed about Akane. The only difference was that these features were colder, and less friendly.

"No. Megumi. I'm her twin sister." Megumi said. "At least I know why she ran away...you are good looking! Now, give me a kiss!" Megumi said grinning evilly as she jumped onto Kurama. Kurama moved out of the way quickly.

"Fine. If that's the way you want to play then I'll have to play that way as well." Megumi said pulling out her rope.

"I--I---" Kurama said nervously.

"Silence!" Megumi said lassoing the rope around Kurama. "I think you'll remember these ropes from the last encounter with my sister. Now, I believe you owe me a kiss." Megumi grabbed Kurama's jaw forcefully and slammed her lips onto his own, Kurama was slightly enjoying this (he's a boy, what can I say?) until a certain memory intruded his thoughts...

'...Kurama...I'll always love you'

'Akane!' Kurama thought abruptly, he yelled angrily breaking out his ropes, taking out his whip and attacked her in one swift movement.

"How'd you break the rope?" Megumi said.

"It's my secret." Kurama said. "Now, be prepared to die. Kagon Retsuzan Shi!!!" (attack where he cuts people up with that rose whip...)

With that, Kurama cut Megumi into little eensy weeny pieces, that burned up and dissapeared. Kurama looked around and heard a voice chuckle.

"Excellent, Kurama. Megumi was my second best assistant, and you killed her in a matter of seconds." chuckled the cold voice of Kouji. "Excellent." And with that silence followed.

~~~

"No! KURAMA!" Akane screamed in her sleep.

"Wake up lass!" Jin said shaking Akane.

"Kurama?" Akane said, looking around, hoping to see green eyes flashing in her direction. Instead, all she saw was dusty old furniture, illuminated by the moonlight in the tiny window.

"Oh, sorry lass, just us." Jin said, his ears drooping slightly.

"I'm sorry Jin. I'm just worried about him." Akane said. "I promise first thing in the morning, we'll do something fun."

"Great! Now you should really get some sleep now." Touya said coming out of the shadows. "Don't forget, you're not the only one who cares for Kurama, we all do, and we hope that the four get of this ordeal alive and unhurt. But all we can do now is hope."

"Touya is right, now get some sleep." Jin tucked Akane in, and he and Touya left the room to make sure no one was in the house.

"I hope Touya is right." Akane said sadly before she fell asleep.

~~~

"Oh, Koenma sir this whole ordeal bothers me." Botan said for the hundrenth time. "Why would HAmaguchi kill Akane, and then bring her back to life just to torture and isolate her!"

"Botan. I don't know." Koenma said exaraspatedly.

"And I do worry about Yuske and the others." Botan said. "How do we know they can beat this demon?"

"Botan, I know they can beat him, very easily too. But the emotional scars, going through all this, I'm not sure Akane will be the same. You have to understand the feelings she must have towards Kurama and Kouji. As much as I'd hate to admit it, Kouji will be a part of her forever. I just hope that won't affect her in any way..."

"Me neither," Botan said, a tear dripping down her cheek.

~~~

Hiei got out another ice cream buck out of the freezer, munching on it. He felt extremely guilty for making all those death threats towards Akane, even if she did have them coming. He couldn't but help for sorry for her, for all the shit she went through, and yet, he admired her for it. If anyne knew hardships, it was Hiei, and he commended Akane for being that strong.

The phone rang, Hiei still eating his 'sweet snow' decided not to answer it. The message played. "I'm obviously not here. Leave a message or die."

"OH HIEI! You're so funny!" Said the voice of the pigtailed girl. "Well anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for the great day today. It would be nice if we got together again. Did you know that schoolgirl with the black hai, she seemed really happy about something...well anyway, call me back sweetie!"

Hiei smiled after listening to the message. Michiko was a great girl. Maybe Hiei will actually tell Kurama, Kuwabaka, and Yuske about it after this mission. Maybe.

~~~

"Oh, Yuske. I feel so bad for Kurama and Akane, it's clear that they love each other so much, and this Kouji guy wants to take it away from them." Keiko said, hugging Yuske tightly.

"Keiko, Kurama is a strong, level-headed guy, and Akane, as much as a goof as she can be, is probably just as strong level-headed. Don't worry about them. They can more than handle this on their own." Yuske said, hugging her tighter. "We have to face Hamaguchi tommorow. I'm more than sure nothing will happen to me, but if something does, just remember that I'll always love you. No matter what." Yuske said softly.

"Oh, Yuske, I will always love you to." Keiko said. They both stood there, safe in each other's arms for what seemed like hours before they went to bed.

~~~

"Aikechi (is that how you spell it?). If I die, remember that the catnip is in this closet." Kuwabara said seriously.

"Mew.^_^" His kitty responded.

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwe." Kuwabara said hugging the kitty. "You're a cute little kitty, yes you are!"

"You. Are. THE. Biggest moron. EVER." Shizuru said bonking him on the head when she came in. "Aren't you worried that you might actually die?"

"Shows what you know! I'm not going to die!" Kuwabara spat.

"Then why is there a will on your table?" Shizuru said taking it from Kuwabara.

"I-----"

"And I leave all of my possesions to...my precious kitten Aikechi. Except for my dirty laundry, which my sister will get." Shizuru droned. "YOU LOSER! AT LEAST GIVE ME GOOD STUFF BEFORE YOU DIE!" Shizuru stomped on Kuwabara for the whole night, so all that was heard in the Kuwabara household was...

"AHHH!"

"I WANT SOME GOLD!"

"Mew! ^_^"
