Heya peeps nice to see that you are still with me (if you really are). I figure you deserve a brief explination of who's who and the love interest things. Now somewhere in the fanfics we wrote there is a chart with the families on it, but I don't know where. So anyway, Iwashi is Kurama's sister and a water sprite, but don't ask me how that happened (now might be a bad time to mention that Jin is also her cousin. Like I said very confusing) She has a love interest in Hiei in case you can't tell. Oh yeah because she grew up with Kurama she has a tendancy to call him Youko no matter what form he's in. I'll explain Yurino after the chapter. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own Iwashi and Kitsunnoai owns Yurino but the rest belongs to the people who made it. Trust me if I had a choice I would change that fact.

Chapter 4

All Together Now

Kurama ran through the hallways. The power from his sister's seed was becoming more clear. He noticed that Yurino was falling behind.

"Yurino if you are getting tired, you just have to say so," he said.

"I... just need... a short... rest," she said. She was breathing heavily, Kurama noticed.

"Get on," he said.

"Wha..." was all she could say in return.

"Get on my back. I'll carry you," he answered. Yurono just nodded and walked over to him. As soon as she was on he took off running again.

"He's just like the boyfriend I wish I had," she thought. She leaned her head against his shoulder and listened to the rythmic pounding of his feet.

Hiei's head snapped around to look at the door.

"Someone's here," he said.

"Youko!" Iwashi yelled as her brother ran around the corner.

"Hn. Long time no see, Kurama," Hiei said.

"Hiei. You are the one person I didn't expect to see here," Kurama said, letting Yurino off of his back.

"How are you going to get them out?" she asked.

"Remember, I used to be a thief. You have to know how to pick lock to follow that profession," Kurama answered. The statement was followed by the lock clicking open. Hiei walked out followed by a blushing Iwashi.

"Iwashi why are you...oh," Kurama said. He followed her eyes to Hiei's bare chest.

"Hiei here's your coat back," Iwashi said, still blushing. Hiei took it and put it on.

"C'mon I know the way to the leader' area," Hiei said. He turned to walk out but the path was blocked.

"Halt all of you. You are under arrest. Be warned we will use force if necissary," the lead demon said.

"I'm sorry, we don' have time to be arrested," Kurama said. (yay! classic Kurama quote form the show)

"Hn. A roadblock. We'll just have to clear it," Hiei said. He pulled out his sword. Kurama pulled out a rose and summoned the rose whip while Iwasji got out her numchucks (is that spelled right?) Yurino readied her magic ribbon (more about that later). Then the two sides charged.

*****

Okay about Yurino. Her dad was a retired spirit detective and her mother was a half arctic wolf demon. So she is a one quarter arctic wolf demon three quarters human. He parents are dead so she lives with her aunt Akuneko, who she hates (because her aunt hates her). I'll explain more about them in the next chapter. Ja ne!

Thought of the Chapter: How does Hiei possibly keep replacing his coat-things? He doesn't get paid for his job as far as we know. Does he steal them? Does he have a secret stash of money? Of coats?
