Chapter 2
2's a Family, 3's a Group
Kurama looked down at the limp form of his sister he was carrying. She was tired so he had let her sleep. They were close to the government so he had to find a place to hide. Iwashi stirred and soon woke up. She looked at him sleepily.
"Youko why are you still walking? You need to rest too!" she said. Kurama just nodded and looked away. Iwashi jumped out of his arms.
"Youko I'm being serious! If we want to defeat the government people you can't just force yourself forward until you collapse! You're my brother and I don't want you to hurt yourself," she said. Tears were starting to drip down her cheeks.
"It's okay, Iwashi," he said. "I was planning on stopping soon anyway." The sound of footsteps filled his ears.
"Who's there!" he asked. A girl with red bangs and brown hair walked towards them.

Yurino had heard the two people before she had seen them. One was a tall fox demon and the other a short demon. She couldn't tell what type. She silently listened to their conversation. One sentence caught her ear.
"If we want to defeat the government..." Yurino knew she could trust them then. She began to walk towards them.
"Who's there," the fox demon called. She then came close enough to see them and for them to see her. Yurino recognized one right away. Youko Kurama the famous thief, now a soldier. The other one she didn't recognize.
"Hello. I overheard your talk of fighting the government. I, too wish to oppose them. My name is Yurino," she said. The two demons looked at each other before turning to her.
"My name is Youko Kurama. Call me Kurama, please," the fox demon said.
"And my name is Iwashi. I'm Youko's sister," Iwashi said. "Kurama and Iwashi, what kind of demons are you?" Yurino asked. "Youko is a fox demon and I'm a water sprite," was Iwashi's answer.
"Yurino may I ask what kind of demon you are?" Kurama asked politely.
"I'm more of a human actually. I'm only 25% arctic wolf demon. I got my demon blood from my mother," Yurino answered.
"Hey Yurino d'ya wanna help us fight the government?" Iwashi asked. She was yawning again. Yurino smiled.
"Of course. I feel the same way you do about it." Iwashi nodded and soon fell back asleep.
"Kurama follow me. I know place where you can sleep for the night," Yurino said. Kurama nodded and followed her.

Hiei watched Yurino, Kurama, and Iwashi. He now knew their names. He had known Youko Kurama, the famed thief before the group had done their introductions. They had even fought in the same squad for a while. There was something about Kurama's sister though. He couldn't figure out what. Hiei just closed his eyes. He could wait a few more days before they got here.
