Kurama heard the call of the attack and rushed over, the girl had her eyes narrowed, she didn't look up at him but kept her eyes on Hiei as though at any moment he'd recover from the poison and attack her again. "If you use those attacks so well, you must know what's wrong with my friend, please give me the rose that did this and we'll leave." Kurama said trying to look into her eyes, he wasn't surprised to find them gold in color, most kitsune, Yo-Ko, and demon foxes in general had that eye color, but he was surprised to see that at the moment they looked like cold, hard gold. She looked up at him and for just a moment her eyes shifted in recognition, but only for a moment. "Give me a minute." Her voice was hard but it seemed to almost be forced, she walked out of sight, into the tall grass at the foot of some strange flowered trees and some sakura trees. He waited, hoping she wasn't giving him the slip, her hand shot out of the grass, a rose was in it, he took the rose carefully from her. "Thank you." He said and turned to walk to Hiei when suddenly she asked. "Have you seen a gold necklace with the pendent of the sun goddess on it?" 'So,' Kurama thought. 'We have found the thief.' "Yes, I found it this afternoon, why?" He asked in a casual air. "Its mine, may I have it back?" She asked this question in a strange tone, the same tone that kitsunes used when begging someone to give their fox ball* back. "I should return it to the museum, but.. what will you give me in return?" Kurama asked her, he heard her sigh in defeat, or maybe it was in annoyance. "I have a full supply of seeds from Makai and Rekai, if you give the necklace back I'll let you access them whenever." She said almost as though it were nothing. Part of Kurama, most likely the Youko Kurama part was yelling at him to take the opportunity, however the more logical thinking part, a.k.a. Shuichi was telling him he could just go to Makai or Rekai, as in many battles internally, Youko won. "Its a deal." He said reaching into his pocket and handing her the necklace. He picked up Hiei and left.
Mia felt him leave the garden, she shook her head knocking sakura petals from her hair, she looked up into the tree above her and glared at Hakana. "I'm betting you found this entertaining, ne?" She said putting the necklace around her neck. "Hai, Mia, I did." Hakana said jumping down and landing next to her friend. "Um..Hakana.was that really Shuichi Minamino?" Mia asked, her eyes looking sad. "Hai, Mia, unfortunately. Gomen," Hakana answered patting her friends back. "I noticed two figures on either side of the buildings, they left when the battle was over. I think they were Yusuke and Kuwabara, the rekai tentai." Hakana finished. "And about Shuichi and the other one?" Mia asked. "Hai, them as well, they were the rekai tentai." Hakana answered. Mia turned her back on Hakana and walked down the path, Hakana followed. "Hakana, what did you do to upset KoEnma?" Mia asked, an edge to her voice, maybe as sharp and the razor edge of her rose katana that she held in rose form in her hair. "I did nothing to upset the horrible toddler!" Hakana yelled in protest. "Hakana, your the only youkai I see here." Mia said, the edge still in her voice. "I'm a hanyou, not a youkai, if I were a youkai that would mean my mother was youkai as well as my father, the blundering baka that he is." Hakana said, an edge now on her voice. "Gomennasai. I didn't want you to bring up the baka," Mia said, the edge off her voice. "I must have done something horrible for the rekai tentai to be here. But I didn't do anything except steal a necklace!" Mia shouted crossing her arms. "Ahem." Hakana coughed. "And steal a large shipment of food, but how else are 202 life forms gonna live?!" Mia roared before opening and slamming the back door behind her.
~~~~~~~~~ In KoEnma's office with a very disgruntled hi apparition ~~~~~~~~~~~
Hiei woke up and was not in the best of moods, and that was putting it lightly. His pride had taken a beating and so had his body, his sister, although she didn't know it, stood over him smiling, she'd healed his wounds and KoEnma was ready to ask questions. "Hiei, did you get to see what the Yo-Ko looked like?" KoEnma asked, leaching off of Kurama's story hadn't been enough information, he needed Hiei's information as well. "It was a girl, waist long gold hair, she might have been six feet tall, maybe shorter but definitely not taller." Hiei answered, he'd said more than he usually did in a day. "She had gold eyes," Kurama threw in. "Her face was heart shaped, but she wasn't a Yo-Ko, she wasn't even demon as far as I could tell." Kurama finished. "Impossible!" Said KoEnma, he sounded like he was going to have a heart attack. Hiei kept his mouth shut to make up for his talkative fit he'd had a moment before, but he was steaming. 'A ningen beat me?! A NINGEN?!' His mind roared. Kuwabara kept his mouth shut in the presence of Yukina, but his mind was probably thinking about how pretty she sounded. Yusuke was the one who spoke up however. "A human beat Hiei? And it was a girl?!" He asked laughing. "She was no ordinary human, those plants fed off her rei energy like plants feed off my youki." Kurama said. "But how did you know Kurama?" KoEnma asked, obviously wanting to be enlightened. "We made a deal, any fox would have said that I had their word as a fox, she said nothing of the sort," Kurama said, he was feeling tired suddenly, and he sat down in chair. "I have school in the morning, I must be leaving." He finished standing back up and walking out.
~~~~~~~~ Next morning ~~~~~~
Kurama woke up late that morning and was running down the street, he spotted Mia ahead of him, running to school as well, it seemed as though she ran every morning, he ran up to her. "Good morning Mia." Kurama said politely and was met by her blushing bright red. "Morning Shuichi." She said, her voice barely above a whisper. They rounded a corner and she slowed her pace to a swift walk, she probably need to catch her breath, finding nothing better to do that morning Kurama slowed his pace down and decided to talk to her. "You always seem to be running to school in the mornings." Kurama said, hoping to start a conversation with the overly shy girl, by the looks on her face she was surprised. "I'm surprised you noticed." Mia answered him, in her normally shy voice, her cheeks were still bright red. "I have somewhere to go right now." She said and ran ahead of him. Kurama, who had been hoping of getting some words out of her ran to catch up, which only earned him more blushing. "I'll talk to you at lunch, okay?" He asked her, the thought of sitting alone didn't seem to bother him, but he was a nice person and the thought off someone else sitting alone bothered him . "O-okay." Mia said and ran off in a burst of speed she'd most likely been suppressing. Kurama was alone again on the side walk, but the thought of getting her to talk seemed to make him happy.
Mia ran into the school grounds and leaped into a school tree, Ice, Pyro and Hakana were sitting there grinning at her. "Pyro, what did you want to talk about?" Mia asked her short, but not as short as Hakana, friend. "Mia, Mia, Mia, how could you talk to that bastard Shuichi after he and his rekai tentai friends tried to kill you yesterday?" Pyro asked, her normal coldness seemingly washed away and worry was in her voice. "He talked to me Pyro, and I tried to keep my mouth shut, really, I did, but," She said, "He's just so cute!" Mia whined pathetically. Ice sighed deeply. "We've been trying ever since you started this school to get you to build an immunity to him, we've got as far as you being able to talk to him, and as far as you not fainting every time he turns the corner and looks at you," Ice started but Mia interrupted. "He's never looked at me before now and you know it!." "And all that hard work seems to have been in vain, according to Pyro your sitting with him at lunch." Ice finished. Mia sighed deeply and hoped out of the tree. "When the time comes for us to fight, I'll fight with you, but I won't cause trouble when their not fighting us." She called up to them and walked inside.
Kurama got to the school and saw Hiei, Yusuke and Kuwabara sitting under a tree, they were looking up into it and seemed as though they were listening to something, Kurama walked up to them and was about to ask what they were doing when Yusuke pulled him down, he put his finger to his lips and pointed up into the tree, Mia and three other girls were up there. "And all that hard work seems to have been in vain, according to Pyro your sitting with him at lunch." A girl with black hair and blue tips said. Mia sighed deeply and hoped out of the tree. "When the time comes for us to fight, I'll fight with you, but I won't cause trouble when their not fighting us." She called up to them and walked inside. "They will attack soon, I know it." A girl with black hair that white streaks in it said, she had a black and white school uniform on. "Yes Hakana, I know." The girl with black hair and blue tips said. "Ice, sister, what are we gonna do?" Another girl who had to be Pyro asked. The girl who had been narrowed down to Ice said simply. "We fight them, Pyro, you don't go to school today, hunt down that one with the tall black hair and make him tell you what's going on. I'll get the remaining two to fess up." At this they all nodded and just disappeared. "Their fast." Hiei said and was gone. Kurama stood up and walked into the school.
~~~~~~ Lunch time! ~~~~~~~~~
Mia walked over and sat down in front of Shuichi like she said she would this morning, she opened her lunch, chicken rice and broccoli, and started to eat. However, it looked like Shuichi had other plans for lunch today, yes, he was eating, but he started talking. "Mia, I don't know much about you at all, would you care to tell me abit about yourself?" Shuichi asked her, her face reddened, she could feel the heat of the blush in her cheeks. "W-w-well, t-there's not really much to say." Mia said, voice barely audible, but, once again, it looked as though Shuichi had other plans for her. "Could you speak up? I can't really hear you." He asked her, polite as ever. She face deepened in color, she could most definitely feel the heat now, she felt like a radiator. "W-w-w-well, t-t-there's n-not m- much t-to s-say r-really." Mia said, louder this time, but her voice stuttered with her normal shyness, she couldn't help it, she hadn't been taught to talk this loud around Shuichi, she had to get out of there and fast. "Come on Mia, there must be something you have to say." Shuichi said gently. 'Oh great, I'm gonna faint if I don't get out of here fast. But am I gonna faint from embarrassment or the fact I have to talk loud?' She questioned herself. "W-w-well I h-h-have s-s-some p-p-pet f-f-foxes." Mia offered, hoping this would be enough to make him happy. Instead, he seemed intrigued. 'Nice move bucket head, foxes are wild animals, no ones ever got a fox completely tamed.' She mentally scolded herself. "That's interesting Mia, how." He started, but the lunch bell had other ideas and cut him off, Mia was up and gone before he could blink twice.
Kurama was sitting at the lunch table when Mia sat down across from him, she kept her eyes down as she opened her lunch and started to eat, he was eating his lunch as well but still kept his eyes on her. "Mia, I don't know much about you at all, would you care to tell me abit about yourself?" He asked her. Her face reddened considerably. "W-w-well, t-there's not really much to say." Mia said, her voice barely audible. Kurama took this brief moment to study her eyes, they were gold, unusual for a ningen, but they weren't the same type of eye color the girl he and Hiei had fought had, her eyes were more like pools of honey with a black dot of molasses in the middle, not the gold and black diamond eyes he'd seen yesterday. 'Well, at least she's not the same person.' Kurama thought before asking, "Could you speak up? I can't really hear you." He said it politely, but still, he felt that the playfulness of his question still showed. Her face deepened in color, "W-w-w-well, t-t-there's n-not m-much t-to s-say r-really." Mia said, louder this time, but her voice stuttered. Kurama felt that she was hiding something, so he pressed some more. "Come on Mia, there must be something you have to say." He pressed gently. "W-w-well I h-h-have s-s- some p-p-pet f-f-foxes." Mia offered him. 'Foxes?' He asked himself. 'Foxes are wild animals, most can't even be tamed. But, I trust Mia, she's not lying.' He told himself and said, "That's interesting Mia, how." He started, but the lunch bell had other ideas and cut him off, Mia was up and gone before he could blink twice.

Fox ball* : Its a strange ball in kitsune legend that allows anyone who sees it to know that person has been possessed by a kitsune, its a small white ball, its use is unknown.
Kilala: I know, I repeated the lunch thing twice, but come on, you know you wanted to hear how Kurama thought.
Kurama: I didn't, I am Kurama.
Kilala: DON'T MAKE FUN OF ME! *cries*
Kurama: *sweatdrops* R&R and I'll go on a date with you, if your a girl.
