Meanwhile at Keiko's house.
*************
"So, your Hiei's girlfriend?" Keiko asked.
As soon as she spoke, Keiko began to regret saying anything. Ayisa jumped up and began screaming at him, "He's not my boyfriend!!!"
"Ok, ok, ok he's not your boyfriend." She stuttered. "So how did you meet?"
Ayisa gave her a cold stare and Keiko decided to be quiet.
"I'm going to bed." Ayisa snapped.
"Here let me get you some extra clothes and a tooth brush."
She walked up to the spare room and changed into some of Keiko's extra clothes. She had to cut a hole for her tail in the pants. She went into the bathroom and stared at the bottle of toothpaste and the small brush. Ayisa wasn't quite sure about the bottle of mint and tried to figure out how she was supposed to use the flavored paste to make her teeth minty fresh.
"Somfings wong human, this doesn't feel wite." Ayisa said, coming into the living room with a bunch of foam surrounding her mouth.
"Oh my gosh! Ayisa! What did you do? You're supposed to put the paste onto the brush, how much toothpaste did you put in your mouth?!?"
"Onwy this munch" she said holding her arms two feet apart.
"Arrrh! Just go spit it out, and don't swallow any of it!"
Keiko went to the phone and called Kurama's house. "Kurama?"
"Keiko, what's wrong?"
"That demon just ate half the toothpaste and cut holes in my pants, what do you want me to do?"
"Oh, boy, um, well, just leave her alone, she'll be fine, she's a demon after all. I'll call back later to check up on things."
She walked past the spare room and looked in. There was a weird fox-like creature lying in the corner. She was about to scream, but thought twice realizing that if the beast awoke, it would probably come after her. She went into her own room and went to bed.
**************** Meanwhile Hiei went for his midnight walk. ****************
What was with that strange voice I heard earlier? The voice sounded familiar, but I can't figure out where I've heard it before. He said that this time wasn't going to be like last time, but when have I fought someone and left them alive? Hiei thought as he ran from treetop to treetop. He looked down to the side and saw a flash of light coming from the back of a dark alley. That's strange maybe I'll check it out; I don't have anything better to do. He thought, reaching for his katana. He slowly walked towards the back of the alley. Suddenly he heard a crash, much like that of breaking glass, and he looked up. He was surrounded by six or seven demons.
"What do you want; I warn you, don't mess with me!" Hiei yelled.
Suddenly the voice appeared in his head once more and said, "Finally, I have the Great Hiei surrounded. I will triumph this time and you will not get away from me. I will make you pay for the torment that you bestowed upon me long ago and you will regret ever crossing my path."
The demons all jumped on him all at once. He sped away before they could pin him down, and started to attack with his katana. He sliced through every one of the demons and most of the crates and dumpsters in the area. Suddenly his choker containing the hiruiseki stone given to him by his mother's friend, snapped and fell to the ground. He bent down to pick it up, but one of the demons had been lurking in the shadows and swung his club at him. Hiei spun around and stepped to the side. The club grazed his side, but for the most part, he was unharmed.
"Is that the best you can do?" He sneered.
"I didn't want to resort to this, but," the demon said as he got out a canister filled with knockout gas. "This is a poisonous gas that will knock out its victim instantly, but I won't be harmed since it's the natural gas of the northern Makai, where I'm from. He threw the canister and almost instantly, Hiei was out cold.
*************** Back at Keiko's. ***************
"AIIHHH!" Keiko screamed. "Stop, calm down, come on Ayisa put the glass thing away!"
"Never human! You tell me where my brother is or I'll, I won't hesitate when using this!" she screamed looking at the glass knife in her hand. "What have you done to him? Tell me you puny human!"
Keiko, scared to death, looked at Ayisa and noticed that her eyes had a sort of glazed look in them.
"You're asleep!" Keiko accused. "Wake Up, Stop Yelling and WAKE UP!!!" she yelled. She took her English book and whacked her over the head. Ayisa fell to the ground unconscious. "That's it! I'm calling Kurama." She picked up the phone and even before she started dialing, the phone rang. "Um, Hello?"
"Keiko, it's me Kurama. How are things going?"
"Oh, things are just fine, yah she's right here sleeping on the floor. We had lots and lots of fun tonight." She said in a sarcastic tone.
"What's wrong, what did she do?"
"Well for starters, like I said before, she ate half my toothpaste and ruined my pants. Then she attacks me in my sleep demanding I tell her where her brother is. Like I'm supposed to know who her brother is. She did this while she was asleep, amazing isn't she. I can't stand this! It's like she wants to drive me crazy or something. You just gotta help me, I can't do this anymore."
"Her brother? Um, well ok Keiko, I'll send Botan and Yukina over to help keep an eye on things."
"Th..thanks Kurama."
Keiko hung up the phone and stared at Ayisa. She was back in her true fox form and Keiko realized that it really had been Ayisa in the guest room earlier. She went into the living room and waited for Botan and Yukina to show up. Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang and Keiko let them in.
"Oh thank god you're here!" She cried.
"What seems to be the problem? Kurama just said that there was and urgent situation at Keiko's house and that we should hurry." Botan asked.
"That abomination that Hiei brought home just about ruined my house and almost killed me in her sleep. I don't know what to do, I can't stand it anymore and I refuse to let."
"Keiko, Keiko, Keiko, calm down, this isn't like you, just relax and calmly tell us what happened." Botan said. "Oh, and by the way, this is Yukina, we, um.Oh crap, I can't tell her who Yukina really is, for Yukina's sake and Mine, Hiei will have my head if I tell.Yusuke rescued her this afternoon."
"Oh, nice to meet you" Keiko said happily. She turned to Botan to explain her evening, "At first, I was really nice and tried to make a conversation, but I brought Hiei into it and she freaked out. She kept telling me that he wasn't her boyfriend. Then I gave her some clothes and a toothbrush with toothpaste. She ripped holes in my pants and ate half the tube of toothpaste. She started foaming at the mouth and now I have to get it all cleaned up before my parents get home in two weeks, it'll take forever to get the foam out of the carpet. But to make matters worse, in the middle of the night, she created some glass weapon and attacked me demanding that I tell her where her brother is, and, and, and." She stuttered and began to cry.
"Keiko, here blow your nose and stop crying, your just tired." Botan comforted as she handed Keiko a box of Kleenex. "Where is she now?"
"She's out cold on my bedroom floor; I hit her over the head with my book."
"Oh, you must have been so scared before, but we're here now and everything's going to be fine." Yukina assured.
"Thanks Yukina"
"So, your Hiei's girlfriend?" Keiko asked.
As soon as she spoke, Keiko began to regret saying anything. Ayisa jumped up and began screaming at him, "He's not my boyfriend!!!"
"Ok, ok, ok he's not your boyfriend." She stuttered. "So how did you meet?"
