Chapter 2
Kuwabara walked over to Yusuke and assured him that he, Hiei, and Kurama would deal with the two strangers. After a nod of thanks, Kuwabara rejoined Hiei and Kurama.
"Who are you people?" said all three of the spirit detectives.
"You mean you don't know?" chorused both of the strangers, and to everyone's surprise, one voice was female. The two figures then stepped out of the shadows. One was a tall male, though not taller than the female beside him, staring with red eyes flecked with orange, and wearing a dark green cloak, extending to his heels. He carried a sword made of black metal, sheathed with a white and blue swirling cover. He had on a stern expression, and his jaw resembled Hiei's. His hair was black, and fell neatly around his face, his bangs almost touching his eyelids.
The other stranger was a female, with long silver hair and piercing blue eyes, wearing a dress also falling to her heels, draping gracefully on her body. The sleeves hung down, making her seem even taller than she already was. She had on light pink lipstick, and looked very beautiful. She also held a stern expression but it seemed nicer, gentler.
Kuwabara gaped at the two strangers. His eyes fell on the female, but he quickly tore it away as his conscience gnawed at him.
"I love Yukina, I love Yukina..." he kept repeating in his mind, and concentrated on looking at the floor. Kurama however was staring at the woman's hair. It looked just like his, except shorter. He wondered if he was related, but this thought quickly evaporated as he saw that she showed no sign of being a fox-demon. Hiei on the other hand was staring at the male's sword, which he thought he recognized somewhere, and the man's jaw, which looked strikingly like his.
At that moment, Yusuke was still eating cake, and went to get a spoon when he saw the two figures. He quickly set his plate down and rushed over.
"I thought your parents were dead!" Yusuke yelled to Kurama and Hiei.
"What are you talking about?" inquired Hiei, as he couldn't see how these two figures had anything to do with him. Kurama also put on a confused look, and asked Yusuke to explain.
"You two," he said as he pointed to Kurama and Hiei in turn, "are too dense to see it and Kuwabara is just trying to keep his eyes off her." As he said this he pointed to the female, now patiently braiding her hair. "This is your mother." Yusuke said to Kurama as he led him to the silver haired woman, who had now stopped braiding her hair. "And this is your father." Yusuke said, dragging Hiei over to the black haired man.
"Yusuke, how are you sure of this?" asked Kurama.
"Well, when I first started out as I spirit detective, I had to catch you two, and Botan gave me as much information as possible. Hiei was thrown down from the mountain in the sky, and Kurama was kidnapped and raised to be a stealer. One day when I went with Botan to the Spirit World, I asked if I could research some more, and she said fine as long as I didn't mess everything up. I found out that Hiei's father had left shortly after Hiei was born, persuaded by his mother who didn't want to be in more trouble than she was already in. It said his name was Hotohori, and that he always carried around a sword made of black metal that he had made himself with his powers. I also found in those file cabinets that Kurama's mom had lost Kurama to the thieves when he was very young, and she had long silver hair and blue eyes. She was the only one of her kind bearing blue eyes, and the blue-eyed gene hadn't passed on to Kurama. Her name is Kaede."
Both Hiei and Kurama stood rooted to the spot, staring unbelievingly at the two figures before them.
"Why didn't you find me earlier? Why did you let me wander in Makai, almost getting myself killed if you could have just gotten me after I was thrown off the mountain?"
End of the chapter! Hope you liked it! Thank you Saffiru for helping me with the names! It took a while but finally we settled on Hotohori! You can read Saffiru's fanfiction at I was going to do their brothers/sisters but that was too cliché so I made it their parents! If Kurama's parents actually died, sorry people! I didn't' know! Just play along, and if they didn't die, yay! Read and review!
