Chapter 2
*The next morning * "Good morning Kurama" Sam said as she walked into him outside the bathroom, "sorry"
"No problem, hey a group of my friends are coming over to dinner tonight to say hi and meet you." Kurama said, "your up to seeing them are you?" he looked at Sam's face, *in Sam's mind * 'I guess I do look kind of tired because the energies here make it hard to relax' "no I'm fine I'd love to meet your friends" Sam explained and grinned, 'I want to meet this Hiei guy' she thought.
"Breakfast is ready," Shori said as she walked upstairs and looked at the two of them in the hall talking. "Cool!" Sam said and walked into her room to get her watch and walk down stairs to the kitchen and take a seat next to Kurama. Throughout the meal small talk ensued, Kurama was playing with his food and looked up at Sam discreetly.
"Mother, I'm going to visit the priestess today," Kurama looks at Sam, "would you like to come, she'd like to meet you" he said and turned back to his mother. "Sure I don't see why you can't go, tell her I say hello." Shori said and started to clear the table. "I'd love to meet this priestess you talk about Suuichi," Sam said and helped clear the table. "We can leave after we finish cleaning up after breakfast." Kurama said and walked upstairs to get a letter from Koenma to Genkai.
Once in her room Sam got ready for the trip to the temple, she tied on her crescent moon necklace, and hid her sickle dagger in her clothes. Checking in the mirror she looked presentable she walked downstairs and met Kurama by the door. They put their shoes on and went out side.
"Tell me about this priestess," Sam inquired.
"Well, she's my sensei, she lives in an old shrine over looking the city, Master Genkai is very nice, she may seem rude but she's not that bad, one of my friends might be over there but don't worry about it." Kurama said as the neared Genkai's temple.
Though out the walk Sam felt a presence following them but didn't say anything, she figured she was imagining it and it wasn't a threat. Reaching the steps to the temple Sam whistled, that was a lot of steps, looking around she say tags hanging in a lot of the trees.
"Kurama, what are those tags on the trees?" Sam asked pointing one out. Kurama looked at the wards and smiled, "they are wards to keep out demons and other being that may pose a threat they also work as alarms" he said looking at her to see if she would take it seriously, "Oh," she said.
At the top of the steps an old lady greeted them, "It's nice to see you again, who is this?" Genkai said as she turned to Sam who had bowed to her like Kurama did. "Hello, my name is Sam err, Emrys Sam," She said bowing again.
The two of them followed Genkai inside as she asked Kurama questions, to Sam they didn't seem important they all had to do with a guy named Yuske Urameshi. "Please wait in her for a molment while I get some tea." Genkai said and walked out, snapping the door shut behind her.
"Genkai seems very nice Kurama" Sam said as the door slid open to allow a short green haired person inside who was wearing a kimono. (3 guess whom *wink wink *) "Kurama" the girl said bowing in greeting before sitting down and looking at Sam, "and who is this?" she asked looking at him. "Hello Yukina this is Sam, she is an exchange student who is staying with my family." Kurama said introducing us, I murmured a greeting to Yukina and she did the same.
The door slid open a second time to reveal a short boy with gravity defying black hair with a white sunburst in the center. His blood red eyes narrowed at the sight of Sam, he was dressed in all black and had a white bandanna on his forehead. To Sam he looked like a fighter, strong, quick and unpredictable, the kind of person she liked to fight.
"Hiei," Yukina said as a greeting as he turned to leave, "don't go"
"Yes Hiei, stay," Kurama said as Hiei walked back into the room, "this is Sam she's the exchange student staying at my house I told you about. By the way can you two come to dinner tonight at my house?" Kurama continued looking at Yukina as Genkai walked in.
"I'd love to Kurama, I'll be over later!" Yukina replied with a smile, Hiei just 'hn-ed' in response, and leaned against the wall. Genkai walked over and set the tray down and spoke up, "Yukina why don't you just walk back with Kurama and Sam to make sure you don't get into trouble."
"of course, sensei" Yukina said and passed out tea to every one. The rest of the day was spent in conversation mainly asking Sam questions about herself and the U.S.A. Finally Genkai stood up, "I think its time you stated back home, come again" Genkai said to Sam before they walked out the door, at this point Sam noticed Hiei had left already, "where did Hiei go?" She said looking around, "oh he always comes and goes unnoticed "Kurama said as they walked home.
The doorbell rang and Kurama went to get it to see Yuske, Kuwabara, Hiei, Boton, Kieko, and Koenma With grins except Hiei, who was scowling. Kurama grinned this was a better turnout then possible, Yukina and Sam walked up behind Kurama and looked at everyone. 'That's a lot of people' Sam though 'I wish I that that many friends'
Everybody walked inside and greeted Sam and Yukina, Kuwabara went over and started to be all starry eyed with Yukina while Sam looked on laughing. "Dinners ready" Shori said walking in, the teens walked out into the kitchen.
"FOOD!" Kuwabara yelled! "Baka" Hiei muttered to quiet for a human to hear but Sam heard and snorted, causing Hiei to look at her funny. Dinner was funny, when Koenma spoke up to break up and fight with Yuske and Kuwabara his voice cracked causing everyone who heard to laugh.
Dinner ended and everyone went into the living room and watched movies. "Thank god its summer!" Yuske proclaimed sitting down and smirking they were all joking around when Sam kept sensing this bad energy that seemed to be coming from Hiei. "I'm going to sleep" Sam said getting up and yawning, "it was great to meet you guys" she said getting a chorus of 'nights' and one 'hn'.
Walking up stars and closing her door she listened to the conversation downstairs go from joking to serous. Koenma seemed to be in charge they were talking about some homicidal demon that was killing people in search of someone. Sam listened when she heard Kurama say slightly louder them before, "what do you mean Sam might be involved?"
"Calm down Kurama, it seems that the person this demon is out to get looks a little like Sam, if you see a demon with black hair with silver streaks, dark skin and black eyes keep an eye on them. Hiei we will need all your help on this one." Koenma said and they continued on about what this had to mean. Why are they looking for her? Thoughts sped thought Sam's head as she sat on her bed and started o meditate.
*The next morning * "Good morning Kurama" Sam said as she walked into him outside the bathroom, "sorry"
