Chapter 6

Chris was waiting on the porch when Kurama and Hiei walked up.
"Feeling better?" Kurama asked, "Yes, all the cuts are healed, but I left the bandages on some of them cause they are not healed all the way." Chris responded before slipping her hand into his and walking down the street in silence.

Chris didn't pay attention in school, not that she ever did. She was busy planning what to were to the dance tonight, they were formal meaning the guys had to were jackets and nice pants, no jeans, and girls had to wear dress's or skirts.

She decided on a long black skirt with slits up the side and a Japanese style shirt that was blood red, copper edging and silver flames along one side, it was tied at the waist with a silver sash.

All though out the dance Chris was on edge, ignoring the jibes from other school kids and trying to ignore a demon power she did not recognize. Kurama asked what was up and she tried to convince him nothing was wrong. After the dance Chris allowed Kurama to lead her home.

"Good night," Kurama said and they kissed, "nite" was all Chris said before going inside. Once inside she stared laughing and ran up stairs and opened the window. Leaning out she transformed and jumped into the nearest tree. Heading towards the nearest passage to the Makai, as she reached it Kurama jumped out of a nearby tree and landed in front of Chris.

"I can't let you enter the Makai." He stated, "Then join me" Chris shot back slowly sauntering up to him seductively. Kurama gulped and looked into Chris's eyes.

"Ok" Kurama said weakly with a smile and transformed into the Youko before the two of them stepped though the portal and started to decide what palace to raid first. They decided on one of the Makia's main palaces, as they approached Chris and Kurama started to get more excited, this was the way to work in the dead of night by the light of the moon.

Chris was twirling a small pendant much like Kurone's; hers was silver with a blue gem and was worked to look like the crescent moon. Once they were in range of the castle Chris went for the main entrance and broke in that way killing all the guards where Kurama went though the side by going over the wall. Once inside they split up and Chris hit the jackpot in the first room she entered was a beautifully worked gold and silver sword and scabbard with blood rubies. Softly she whistled, Kurama walked in at her signal and eyed the sword before nodding. Pulling off the platform Chris set off an alarm and the two of them headed of down the hall.

Back at the entrance to the Ningenkai Kurama and Chris shared a deep kiss before steeping though. Hiei was waiting at the other side for them. 'uh-oh' Kurama mouthed seeing Hiei.

"I hope you know you mom thinks you are lost, and couldn't you have asked me to watch your backs next time? You know what almost happened" Hiei stated burning his eyes into Chris and Kurama's.

"I guess I better get home" Kurama stated and raced off changing into the human Kurama as he went. Hiei turned to Chris and held out a hand to inspect tonight's find.

"Not bad workman ship, made for show more then use, will catch a high price for the rubies and the metal of course. Have fun selling it" with that he vanished, leaving Chris standing there with the sword and a grin on her face. Selling the sword was the easy part and didn't take long when she headed back home she detected the same demonic presence she had detected at the dance.

"There is no point in hiding I know where you are" Chris stated getting ready for battle, out of the woods walked an ice apparition she did not recognize. "What do you want?" Chris demanded being in her demon form was a definite help.

"Your life" it stated before lunging towards her with a sword of ice set to kill.
