~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Chapter2
"You do not fear your own lover, do you?" she asked me, revealing her fox demon-like features (no, not THOSE features. . .).
Back in the Makai, there was a girl for me. She was the guardian of the kitsunes of the Makai. She would not let any man (or kitsune) take her heart, until she met me. I stole her heart, as did she mine. I guess you could say it was love at first sight. But when I became a legend, she had to stay behind and protect the other kitsunes. A wandering thief and a mighty protector, never to see each other again. Back then there was someone for me. Back then, she loved me. Now she's back. Hihana was back.
I held out my arms to her, and she ran into them. Her warmth, her scent, all were the same. I just wish I could say the same for me.
I could feel Hiei's grip on his katana tightening. I knew his blood-red eyes were glaring at her. Finally, he just sighed his usual, "Hn. . ." and went to sit by the window.
Hihana broke the embrace and looked up, her fox ears twitching. "I hear footsteps," she said angrily, looking up at my mother's room door, "and I smell a human." She then lifted her hands above her head, and was consumed by light blue flames, but only for a second. The flames instantly vanished, leaving her in human form. She and I were now both half and half, half human, half demon.
Hihana stood there, in human form, with midnight-black hair with a purplish glow, somewhat tanned skin, and piercing black eyes. Her hair was pulled back in a loose pony-tail, that was tied about halfway down her back that reached to her waist. Two small locks of hair drifted in front over her ears, almost covering her fiery red rose earrings.
Just in time, my mother opened the door to see Hihana in human form. Mom came downstairs and shook her hand. "Hello, my name's Shiori, and I'm Shuichi's mother. And what's your name?" she asked politely.
"Hihana," she answered plainly.
"Well, Hihana, just make yourself at home." Shiori turned to me. "I have to run to the store, so take care of your guests, okay?"
I nodded, and she walked outside, started the car, and drove away.
Hihana stepped into embrace me again, just the way we used to, only now we were both in human form.
"I missed you," she said lightly, then looked up at me. "You need to come back."
I was startled. "B-back t-t-to the Mak-kai?" I stuttered.
Tears formed in Hihana's eyes. She embraced me tighter, then buried her face in my uniform. "Please!" she cried, "We need you. . . I need you. . ." She looked up again, tears streaming down her face.
I frowned, seeing her this way, my first love in tears. I could tell Hiei was trying to ignore us, but in a small way, he seemed jealous. Hiei probably felt that I was his only love, and he most likely didn't want a girl getting in the way of our relationship.
Hihana remained in my arms, crying. "Please, can we talk alone?" she asked softly, merely glancing at Hiei. I took hold of her hand and accompanied her upstairs. "We'll only be a few minutes Hiei."
Hiei glimpsed outside and eyed some birds flying in my front yard.
"Try not to kill anything," I finished as he looked up at me innocently. I took Hihana up to the attic, then opened up a ladder-door out of the ceiling. We climbed out the top and sat together on the roof.
I looked at Hihana, her two front locks of hair and ponytail swaying in the slight breeze. Her glance fell from the sky down to a few children playing soccer in the front yard across the street.
"Look at the people you live with, Kurama," she began, "You ningen-people have healthy, happy children." She paused. "In the Makai, it used to be just the same. All of the kits, gathered around, playing a small game, thinking there couldn't be anything better in the universe." I could picture those old visions in my mind. "Now, I can't say that anymore."
I was a little confused. "What do you mean by that?" I was a little afraid of what her answer would be.
She didn't answer right away, but I could tell she was trying to choke down her tears, but she couldn't. "The kitsunes of the Makai can't hold our position any longer. Five brutal demons have escaped into the Makai, trying to overtake us. Each of them possesses one of the elements: fire, wind, water, earth, and lightning. Their spirit energy is tremendous, and even our strongest kitsunes can't hold them off for long. We've held them back for now, but they've been kidnapping some of the kitsunes, forcing us to hide like mice from a cat!" she cried.
I looked at her face, her expression was pure desperation.
Hihana put her head on my shoulder. "Please come back. Help us save our home. . . your home. . ."
I was astonished. I have been back to the Makai before (fourth season of YYH), and the Makai gate takes a lot of energy to open. Once I go in, I might not be able to get out again. "But wait!" I said, "How did YOU get out of the Makai gate?"
Hihana laughed a little. "You didn't think the kitsunes of the Makai had spiritually weak defenders, do you?" she smiled, "But I only had enough energy to open it a little for a short time."
I had absolutely no idea what to say. My mind was totally blank.
Hihana went on her knees behind me, and wrapped her arms around my neck. "I can't force you to come, Kurama, but I can ask you for help. I know it will be a hard decision for you, but the choice is yours." Hihana stood up and walked away. "I'll be downstairs awaiting your decision." She walked back down the ladder door.
Hiei sprung up, jumping from the tree in our front yard, onto the roof. "I heard the whole thing," he said solemnly. "What are you going to do?"
I put my hand on my forehead. "I don't know, Hiei. I just don't know."
Hiei crouched down in front of me and lifted my head up. "I don't want you to go. . . but if you must. . ." We both stood up. "If you must, I ask that you. . ." Hiei was struggling to get the words out and turned away.
"You. . . what?" I asked.
His content face turned to a frown. "Ugh, just forget it. Just. . . whatever you decide. . ."
"Yes?"
Hiei paused, then continued, "whatever you decide, it's got nothing to do with me, so. . ." His smile returned, "So I want YOU to do what's best for YOU."
"Oh, Hiei. . ." I said as I walked over to him and held him in my arms. I knew he disliked being cuddled, but I did it anyway. Although, this time, he didn't seem to mind.
After awhile, I walked downstairs to talk with Hihana, and I told her my decision. Then I called Yusuke Urameshi, who at the time was getting a studying lesson from Keiko.
~At Yusuke's house~
Yusuke picked up the phone after it rang. "Hello? Oh! Hey, Kurama! How are ya, fox-boy? What?! You're going back to the Makai?!"
