Kurama and Kita got up and walked into the living room to see Hiei sleeping on the couch with a blanket over him and a pillow under his head.
"What happened to him?" Kita asked when she noticed his hair was a mess.
"I don't know." Kurama lied as he walked into the Kitchen in search for something to eat.
"What are we going to eat we haven't got groceries yet Kurama." Kita said as she followed him into the kitchen.
"Well we'll just have to go get something to eat." Kurama said and smiled as he pulled her into a hug. Then Kita and Kurama walked out of the kitchen to see Hia sitting with Hiei's head on her lap. He was still asleep though.
"Hia you want to go eat breakfast?" Kita asked as they walked towards the door.
"No I'm fine." Hia said and smiled at the two when they stopped at the door to look at her.
"You sure Hia it'll get you out of the house." Kurama said.
"I'm sure I'll be fine Kurama thanks." Hia said and waved a little telling them to go on.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Kurama I can tell you know what's going on." Kita said once the got to the side-walk.
"I do." Was all Kurama said as he avoided her gaze.
"Then why won't you tell me." Kita asked.
"It's embarrassing for Hiei that's why." Kurama said as he looked straight ahead. 'Me as well.' He thought as he gave a worried glance to Kita.
"Well what do you want to eat?" Kita asked and smiled as she looked at him.
"Do you want to eat out or buy groceries then eat at the apartment?" Kurama asked as he put his arm over her shoulder.
"I guess at home so Hia and Hiei can eat too." Kita said and smiled as she leaned in onto his shoulder as they walked. "What all happened yesterday?" she asked as she looked up at him.
"You saw most of it." Kurama said and looked at her.
"But not all of it." Kita said.
"Well after you went to help Hia yesterday I don't know what happened until I met up with Hia who was tied up in a chair." Kurama said.
"What did they want?" Kita asked as she stared at him for a few minutes.
"Location of some meeting. Hia could tell you more then me about that." Kurama said.
"How did Hiei leave so quickly then return caring Hia and jumping down from a tree." Kita asked confused.
"His ability besides swordsman ship, fire and ice attacks is speed and control. We're back to normal Kita." Kurama said and smiled at her.
"But you don't look different." Kita said confused.
"Well in my full form I've got silver hair, silver ears and a silver tail with amber colored eyes." Kurama said and slightly pulled away from her a little.
"What's wrong?" Kita asked noticing that Kurama pulled away a little.
"Just that form…" Kurama said evasively.
"What about that form?" Kita asked as they entered they grocery store.
"It's nothing don't worry about it." Kurama said as he looked away from her.
'Fine I'll just ask you later about it then. Or ask Hiei.' Kita thought and smiled as they did their shopping
An Hour Later
"Kurama have you see Hia or Hiei since we been home?" Kita asked from the kitchen.
"No. let me see if one of them is in their room?" Kurama said and walked back through the hall.
"Hia, Hiei you two in there." Kurama asked as he knocked on the door.
"I am." Hiei said then opened the door.
"Where's Hia?" Kurama asked once he noticed that Hia was no where to be seen.
"She left after I woke up." Hiei said and looked down at his feet as he shut their bedroom door and started for the living room. "Where's Kita I haven't seen her all day?" he asked as he sat down on the couch.
"Kitchen! She can't hear us if you want to talk." Kurama offered.
"I don't know what to do. I can't stay here with her like this." Hiei said and noticed that Hia was getting closer to the apartment.
"She doesn't understand our way of doing things. So you have to explain it to her. As I do to Kita." Kurama said walking over to the window and looking out. he spotted Hia as she came up the stairs.
"Kurama did you find them?" Kita asked from the kitchen.
"Hiei was in their room. Hia is just now returning." Kurama said as the door opened for Hia to come in.
"I guess I'm just so lovable to be talked about by you…three…when I'm not here." Hia said as she shut the door not taking her eyes off of Hiei.
"Okay is it just me or are you two acting strange?" Kita asked coming into the living room staring at Hiei and Hia. Hiei got up and walked back into their room as Hia just watched him leave.
"That's it. He's not avoiding me this time!" Hia said and walked to the bedroom too. She went in and shut the door. Kurama knew she had locked it too.
"Okay…uh…Kurama what's going on?" Kita asked as she stared towards Hia and Hiei's room.
"That's between them. I'm not in it and neither are you." Kurama said then walked into the Kitchen to help Kita do what ever until Hia and Hiei decided to show back up.
"Kurama I just want to know what's going on." Kita said following Kurama into the kitchen then walked back over to the dishes she was doing.
"Kita it has to be salved by them there's nothing you can do so hence nothing you need to know." Kurama said stepping behind her and putting his arm around her.
"Kurama I live here too I don't want to say something that will offend them like I just did." Kita said annoyed.
"It's embarrassing to Hiei and myself Kita." Kurama said resting his head on her shoulder.
"Yourself what's going on Kurama? What are you talking about?" Kita asked turning around his arms.
"I love you Kita." Kurama said pulling her closer and placing a passionate kiss on her lips. He licked her bottom lip as if asking for entrance. And she granted it. Kurama pulled her even closer flush against his body as he deepened the kiss.
"Well…that's a… change…" Kita said breathlessly as she blushed when the kiss finally ended.
"That's what's wrong. We are different Kita. We know who we love and now that we are normal we want it." Kurama said nuzzling her neck a little.
"You just want one thing." Kita said turning away from Kurama back to the dishes.
"Oh no. I want you as my Mate. It's like a wife to Humans just a Mate is life long like a wife is supposed to be." Kurama said turning her back to face him. "You are my one and only Kita. Just I want you to make the decision to be my Mate not me make it for you." he said putting his nose to hers and his hands cupped her face as he smiled then kissed her lightly again.
"What do you mean make it for me?" Kita asked as she looked up into his eyes.
"In two months I'll be going though what Hiei's going through now. Just it'll be intence for me." Kurama said turning his head away a little.
"What's Hiei going through?" Kita asked confused.
"Well he's really not going through anything…uhm…this is harder to explain then I thought." Kurama said and walked over to the kitchen table and sat down.
"Just say it." Kita said as she walked over beside him and put a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"I'm a Kitsune Kita. I go thought the same things as animals including Heat. Don't be surprised that I start acting funny in two months." Kurama said looking down at the table with a blush on his cheeks.
"It's not your fault my love." Kita said kneeling next to him and taking his hand in hers.
"But I don't want to force you at all. When that happens I wont' care if you say no. Hiei will have to protect you. like I do Hia now." Kurama said sadly.
"Kurama you are the love of my life." Kita and then kissed him lightly on the lips. "Didn't Hia go into their room with Hiei?" she asked pulling back from Kurama.
"Damn she did…" Kurama said and stood quickly leaving the Kitchen to catch the sent of fear again. "Hiei!" he said as he ran to their door again this time barging in even though the door was locked.
"Kurama!" Hia said as she ran around Hiei and got behind Kurama. "He's gone mad." She said as she hid behind Kurama.
"Hiei snap out of it!" Kurama said harshly.
"I…uh…what…What happened?" Hiei asked confused.
"You lost your mind that's what." Hia said poking her head around Kurama.
"Kurama please tell me I didn't do that again…" Hiei kind of begged.
"I can't do that cause you did." Kurama said sadly.
"Damn…you explain it to her Kurama…I can't get close enough with out losing it." Hiei said walking over to the window and started looking out.
"Aw man I just explained it to Kita…" Kurama whined cause he had to go through it again. "Hia his Demon instincts are wanting him to make you his mate since he loves you. So his instincts take over." He explained.
"Yeah I'd say they take over all right." Hia said still hiding behind Kurama.
"I shouldn't be staying here." Hiei said and started for the door and watched Kurama move out of his way making sure Hia stayed behind him.
"Where are you going?" Kita asked as she watched him come down the hallway.
"Some where, where I can't scare Hia." Hiei said sadly then noticed some one grabbing his hand.
"No don't go." Hia said grabbing his hand and pulling him back a little.
"Hia I'm dangerous when I'm here with you. I can't keep putting you through that." Hiei said pulling his arm away and started for the font door again then left.
"He's just going to leave like that!?" Hia said stunned.
"He's doing what he thinks is best for you Hia." Kurama said.
"I don't care what he thinks is best for me. I know what's best for me." Hia said and stormed out of the house after Hiei.
"Well this is going to be a very long day." Kurama said and looked over to Kita.
"Yep with those two going at it like that." Kita said in agreement.
"Hey Kurama! Need your help again. Where's Hiei?" Yusuke said coming into the apartment with Botan.
"You just missed Hia and Hiei. Hia's gone chasing Hiei." Kurama said then shook his head.
"Uh huh. Well she won't find him unless he want's her to find him." Yusuke said.
"Yeah but she don't realize that." Kurama said and glanced out the front window as he stood beside Kita.
"I'm here Urameshi what is it?" Kuwabara asked completely out of breath.
"good think Hia isn't here." Kita said and laughed when Kuwabara started looking around.
"Hia where?!" he said backing towards the door.
"Behind you moron. Yusuke what's this idiot doing here in our apartment?" Hia asked as she held Hiei's ear at the front door.
"Okay I may be a demon but that hurts would you let go of my ear?" Hiei asked as she dragged him inside the apartment.
"Not until you promise you won't run off like that again." Hia said as she stopped beside Kurama.
"All right, all right I promise just let go." Hiei whined.
"Fine there you go." Hia said letting go of Hiei's ear then looked back over to Yusuke who was standing in front of Kuwabara.
"Question. How'd you find him?" Yusuke asked.
"That's a good question. I'd like to know that one myself. And how she got a hold of my ear." Hiei said looking back to Hia.
"I don't know I just found you and grabbed your ear…I don't know how I did it." Hia said a little confused.
"Okay well we have a mission again. You two want to help?" Yusuke asked then looked over to Kita who was humming a little.
"Sure what is the mission?" Kurama said also looking at Kita who immediately stopped humming.
"Well now that the humming bird stopped. I'm to find a Dragon Demon girl and her protector who's a Fire Kitsune girl." Yusuke said
"Okay and why are we looking for these people and what do they look like?" Hiei asked as he looked at Yusuke.
"Well the Dragon Demon is about 5'6" tall with long midnight blue hair and soft amber eyes according to this picture. She also has black dragon wings." Yusuke said and pulled out a picture of two young girls standing side beside like best friends. "The other one is about 5'7" with long Violet hair and silver eyes. With violet ears and two violet tails" he said and handed the picture to Kurama and Hiei.
"And why are we looking for them?" Kuwabara asked as he walked over to Kurama and Hiei to look at the picture. "What's their names?" he asked.
"Well evidentially the Sukina the Dragon is the protector of kind of sword or Jewel or something and Natsu the Fire Kitsune is her protector." Yusuke said and crossed his arms.
"Well when do we leave?" Kita asked as she smiled.
"Now I guess. Come on." Botan said then started for the door and every one started after her.
