Chapter 10

Reunited

Iwashi and Hiei

Iwashi was running slightly behind Hiei, when she stopped.

"Iwashi? What is it? What's wrong?" Hiei said. He showed slightly more concern that he had meant to.

"It's Youko. He's close, I can feel it," she said. She pulled out the seed her brother had thrown to her when he had fallen in the pit. It was pointing forward (toward where Kurama was). She immediately ran off, faster that she had before. Hiei followed her as quickly as he could.

Kurama and Yurino

"Yurino, hurry. I can feel the seed I gave to my sister. It's getting closer," Kurama said. Yurino trusted him and followed. The kiss had done something to her spirit energy and now she could sense his (spirit energy). She could feel the seeds Iwashi had. She ran forward as fast as she could.

*****

The two groups met at almost exactly the same moment. Iwashi hugged her brother as soon as she was close enough. She then let go and hugged Yurino so Kurama could go talk to Hiei.

"We are very close to the room where the leaders stay," Hiei said, when the hellos were done. Hiei and Kurama started walking but Iwashi held Yurino back.

"What happened while you were with Youko?" she asked. Yurino turned red at the question.

"Well... he told me what happened in the past and then he... he...he kissed me," Yurino said.

"Oh... so he does," Iwashi said quietly.

"Does what?" Yurino asked.

"Yurino listen, Youko is not very proud of what has happened to him. If he trusts you enough to tell you, then he must really like you. The only other people who know about his past are Hiei, myself, and the Ningenkai spirit detective," Iwashi said. She looked at the ground before continuing

"I don't know very much about this kind of stuff but Youko's my brother and I can tell that Youko is... in love with you. If you don't love him back, please tell him, now."

Yurino put her hand to her mouth and looked at Iwashi.

"Iwashi, I think that I am in love with your brother. But if I am then you must be in love with Hiei," she said, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"I... I... I guess I am," Iwashi replied. She looked at Yurino and smiled. "But if you like Youko now, wait 'til you see him as a human."

"We're here," Hiei said. Everyone pulled out their respective weapons and prepared for the most important battle of their lives.

Heya Chi-chan here. I still don't have any reviews on this story. Until I get at least one review I won't update and other stories (specifically the sequel to waiting that you've all been waiting for) But if you've gotten this far then I probably did get a review and can live in peace for the time being.

Thought of the Chapter: If Kazemaru's surikens locked onto Yusuke's spirit energy then why didn't they follow him into the puddle thingy? Did the water like block them from sensing the energy or something?
