Disclaimer: I still own nothing.
Neko Yasha: ok. From now on, I'll be responding to all reviews. For starters, some one pointed out that I never actually mentioned to Kurama that it was Hiei's child. Well, remember in chapter 2 when Kurama walked in on their little conversation? He heard Botan say something about a baby belonging to Hiei, so once he found out that he was pregnant, he just kind of assumed that it was Hiei. Ok? Ok.
Also to all of you who have been bugging me about the title, there! I changed it! Ya happy?! Now leave me alone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Kurama's P.O.V)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was frozen in my spot as the wolf demon bared his teeth at Hiei and I. I turned to Hiei, watching him as he drew his sword, quickly moving into battle stance, ready to attack. Acting on instinct, I reached behind my ear and pulled out a simple red rose, which quickly turned into my trade mark weapon. I too went into battle stance, but Hiei placed his free hand on my arm, gesturing for me to lower my weapon. I blinked at him questioningly as he glared at me, daring me to make a move. "You're in no condition to fight and you know it. Go back to Genkai's temple. Now!" "but Hiei- "I said go Kurama! Before I kill you too!" casting a quick glare at Hiei, I did as I was told and took off back into the direction I had came. From a distance, I heard the slicing of flesh as Hiei killed the wolf demons one by one. Figuring one might get away and come after me, I ran as fast as I could through the woods making sure not to get snagged on branches and such.
I had almost reached the exit of the woods, but I was forced to stop in my tracks as I saw an elderly man standing in my way. He was clad in a green tunic, with a matching hat that sat atop his head. He had long graying hair, that reached just below his shoulders. What confused me the most was what he was holding.
In his hands were to wolf marionettes dangling above the ground. "Suuichi Minnamino I presume? Or should I say Yoko Kurama?" he said, cackling a bit. "yes. Who are you?" I asked a bit timidly. "hehehehe, I am Krishna soomasu. Master puppeteer and practitioner of the dark arts. As well as the controller of those pesky wolf demons you ran into." //this is strange. He claims to control such great power, and yet I can't sense any spirit energy coming off of him.// "Assuming that you're telling me the truth, why would you do such a thing? What do you want?" once again, he let out a low maniacal cackle as yet another wolf puppet fell from it's strings. "as if you didn't know. Those wolfs I sent out were only a mere distraction to get you away from your little friend! I knew he wouldn't fight in such a delicate condition. As for what I want, only a few things. Money, fame, power, you." "me?!" "well, not really your body. I only want your spirit energy. And I figured it would be very easy to get with your condition!" he let out yet another powerful howl of laughter as I realized just what danger I was in. quickly, I reached behind my ear for my rose whip, but much to my surprise, it wasn't there! I let out a gasp as I realized that I had dropped it when I ran away from Hiei! Since I was no longer in my Yoko body, I had nothing but my own mortal body to defend my self with. Obviously I was in no condition to fight, but I had no choice. I prepared my self to strike as I saw him draw out yet another one of those blasted puppets, only this one seemed much bigger than the last.
It appeared to be a phoenix like creature. "this my dear boy is the very thing that determines your fate.
Ah, it may appear to be an ordinary bird, but indeed it's not. Of course it's not the bird you should be afraid of. It's the feathers that will indeed kill you!" he threw his head back in laughter as I saw the puppet come to life, and in seconds I was peering into the eyes of an enormous bird. He wasted no time in battle as I saw the large phoenix sore high into the sky. "phoenix feather paralizer!" I heard him call, and before I could contemplate the idea, the phoenix released two of its razor sharp fiery feathers shot at me and nailed me right in the stomach. I immediately fell to the ground. I would've clutched my stomach in pain, but the feathers had paralized me from the neck down. I watched in horror as the puppeteer made a walking motion
With the marionette, ordering the phoenix to step closer and closer to me until I could feel his breath over my trembling body. The phoenix bent down a bit, and quickly scooped me up into it's wings, bringing me so close to it, I could see my own reflection in it's eyes. I let out a cry as it's claws dug into my stomach,
But as much pain as I was in, I couldn't stop thinking about the baby. Those blows must have done atleast some damage to me. I watched as my blood seeped out onto the beast's claws. It brought me up even closer to it so that I was now mere inches away from its beak. I tried to hold him off with my legs, but it obviously wasn't working. I was going to die. //this is it. It's all over.// I closed my eyes to prepare for the blow, but
It never came. All I heard was a loud screech, and suddenly, I was on the ground, lying in a pool of blood, Hiei smirking above me. "looking for this Kurama?" he said as he dropped the rose whip at my feet.
"hope you don't mind if I borrowed it. I saw that you accidentally dropped it, and after fighting off those wolves, the blade of my sword was awfully dull." I could only nod dumbly as I was still in shock.
That's when Hiei finally noticed that blood was flowing freely from my stomach, so he quickly ripped off a piece of his cape and wrapped it around the wound. Once he succeeded in that, he carefully lifted me up, and carried me down the path we had came through in the beginning. "lets get you back to Genkai's
And get that taken care of." He said, referring to the gash in my stomach. I was beginning to feel rather dizzy, so I merely nodded before drifting off into unconsciousness.

Sun: ok! There's chapter five!
Fire: thank you to all who reviewed! Please review again!
Water: no more complaints about the title since we finally changed it!
Hiei: if you have taken the time to read, I'm sure you have enough time to review.
Neko Yasha: please tell us what you think! If you didn't, that's ok. Just please don't cuss us out or any thing like that! If any thing in this offends you, simply don't read it. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it a bad story.
Earth: thank you! R&R please!
Baby: bye bye!
