Chapter 12: Missing You
Kurama crouched down behind a bush on the edge of the clearing of the castle. Kuga knelt down next to him and peered over the bush at the large stone fortress.
"Is this the place?" he whispered. Kurama nodded, but didn't move. Kuga looked at him expectantly, "Well then, lets go!"
Kurama held up his hand, "Wait. Koi and Bito will expect me to come back. They'll have guards waiting. We have to be careful."
"But you told me that last time you just walked through the door!" Kuga argued.
"Of course you did," said a voice behind them, "They wanted you in there."
Kurama and Kuga spun in surprise. "Hiei!" Kurama whispered, half in relief and half in exasperation, "What are you doing here?"
"Hn." Hiei pushed off of the tree he had been leaning against, "You didn't think I'd let you go into that castle with only this little wolf pup as help, did you?"
"Hiei, I told you before. I don't need your help."
Hiei smiled smugly. "I was held there Kurama. I know my way around."
"Yah, but you never saw anything but the inside of your cell!" challenged Kuga, "You're only gonna slow us down!"
Hiei turned his blood red eyes on the young boy. "Kaita is one of my allies. Even though we argue, I don't want to see her die."
"Kaita told me you once said you wanted to kill her," Kuga growled, "How do I know you wont try that now?"
Hiei stepped forward, "I would only kill Kaita in a one on one fight. I have no wish to kill her now that she is so weak."
Kuga barred his teeth and was about to make a remark about Hiei's own weakness, when an arrow shot past Kurama's head. Kurama leapt out of danger gracefully as Kuga strung an arrow in his bow and fired at their attacker. The demon guard was killed instantly when the arrow pierced his skull.
"Let's go!" Hiei yelled and became a black blur heading toward the castle. Kuga and Kurama followed him close behind. Kuga fired more arrows at the demon guards that appeared around the sides of the castle. Kurama sent a way of his energy to the plants surrounding the large door. The plants leaves became fire, and the burned large holes in the doors metal covering. Hiei pulled out his katana, and cut the rest of the door down. Kuga shot down the last of the guards, and then the three companions rushed into the castle.

"So Hiei just ran off on his own again?" asked Yuusuke.
Katie nodded, "Mhm. But...I'm sure he's coming back." She looked up at Yuusuke and Kuwabara, pleading in her eyes, "He is coming back, isn't he?"
Genkai, who was sitting at the head of the table where she, Yukina, Katie, Yuusuke, and Kuwabara were having tea, smiled to herself. "He'll be back. He could barely bring himself to leave you in the first place."
"Yah! Nothing 'll keep Hiei from getting to you," reassured Kuwabara, "Nothing can separate the hearts of two in love. Just ask me and Yukina."
Yukina giggled next to him.
Katie smiled at her new friends' encouragements. Then she sighed, set down her teacup, and walked outside.
"Katie, it will be ok," Yukina said in her soft voice.
Katie turned to the small koorime, "Yah, I know. But still...I miss him; more than I've ever missed anyone before. I know he'll come back, but I-"
"Never wanted him to leave," Yukina finished.
Katie laughed softly. "Yah. Yah, that's exactly how I "
