Sycoh: Tehee!*giggles uncontrolably* Teheeheehee!

Yusuke: What are you all giggly about, authoress?(there's your answer Yukina-Kun! ^_^)

Sycoh: Actually, I shouldn't be giggly at all. Since this is my 7th chapter and I only have 9 reviews. Maybe I should kill everybody off and make this the last chappie.

Yusuke: No! Please guys! Review more!

Sycoh: *sigh* I don't blame them. It's so unoriginal. It's actually more of a Soap Opera than an anime fic.

Yusuke: You have a point there.

Sycoh:*shrugs* I haven't even gotten to the lemon yet. So whatever. On with what may be the last chapter of this story.

Too Close For Comfort

Chapter 7: Reasons

`*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~(With Senko and Kurama)~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Senko sat there, her eyes wide with shock. She touched her lips softly. Her whole body shivered as she

remembered the kiss from Kurama she had just recieved. Kurama, the guy she had just met only an hour

or so before. She had to admit, she was attracted to him. 'But that doesn't mean I wanted to kiss him!'

Senko shouted inside her head. Kurama stood a few feet infront of her as she sat on the cold, hard, rock.

His back was turned and Senko knew he was trying to calm himself. Trying to keep from whirling around and

finishing what he had started. 'Damn Suiichi!' Yoko yelled inside his host's head. 'I want! Must have!' Suiichi

was trying desperately to keep Yoko inside so that he wouldn't come put and ravage the poor girl. Finally, when

he had managed to win over Yoko, he turned to Senko. "I'm....sorry." Kurama said for the second time since

he had met her. Senko smiled at him innocently. "It's ok." She said softly. "No, it's not." Kurama insisted. "I had no

right to do that to you. It's just that-" Senko interupted him. "It's hard to control your demon form. It is for me, too.

Like when I was purring at you. Or when I kissed you back." "Yea, like that." Kurama said nervously. Senko nodded.

"I understand. Though, I really did enjoy that kiss." She added with a mischieveious smile. "If you keep talking

like that, you're going to be asking for it." Kurama said with a smile. "Who said I was asking?" Senko said defiantly.

Kurama's smile only grew as he picked up the young neko youkai. 'So, she's not as naive as she seems.' Yoko

thought. 'Nice legs too. I love cats.' 'That's enough, Yoko!' Suiichi shouted inside his head. Yoko only smirked

and was quiet the rest of the way to the tantei's home.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^(With Kitsumi in the Morning)^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Running, again. It came as natural to her as breathing. It was what had kept her alive for so long. It was what her

whole life revolved around. And, as a result, she was extremely swift. Her ungodly speed nearly surpassing that

of the dozens of Bounty Hunters behind her. Somewhere along the way they had begun to follow her trail. 'Damn!'

Kitsumi yelled inside her head. If she didn't find somewhere to stay before daylight came it would be all over. There

would be no way she could keep them from following her then. Luckily for her, not only was she fast but brilliantly

cunning as well. Years of experiance in the areas of hidng and disguise made it nearly impossible for anyone to

track her. Anyone but Seirou. After all these years, he knew all her tricks. He knew everything she was going to

do before she even made the descision to do it. All the turns, the side tracks, everything. Kitsumi could feel

another presence somewhere behind her. She knew it was no Bounty Hunter. She could feel his heat and smell

his smoke and fire. It was Hiei. The fire youkai she had befriended. He was the only one who had gotten so close

to her. Hiei was gaining the distance to Kitsumi a lot faster than Seirou was. Suddenly, Kitsumi stopped dead in her

tracks. 'Why am I running? What am I running for?' Those questions had just popped inside her head without

her even knowing it. 'I don't have to run. For anything. Nobody needs me here. I could just give up.' Hiei was stunned.

His Jagan was uncovered and he could read the thoughts that were pouring into Kitsumi's head. He had to hurry.

Otherwise, Seirou would find her and kill her. 'Damn ningen emotions.' Hiei thought almost angrily. His pace

quickened. 'Hiei is close. He'll probably want to get me out of here. But why? It's as if- ' Kitsumi was interupted

as she felt a warm breeze graze against her right cheek. "Fire." She whispered as Hiei landed in front of her.

"You should go Hiei. Seirou will be here and he won't spare you if he finds out you were here. If you leave now

I can help you cover your tracks so that he won't kill you." Kitsumi said tonelessly, not bothering

to even look Hiei in the eye. "I'm not going to just leave you here. You're an idiot if you think

I would do something like that." Hiei said calmly. Kitsumi looked up at him, a little surprised

by what he had said to her. "Why did you come for me?" Kitsumi asked him. "Hn, because you are in

trouble and as a member of the rekei tentai I am supposed to help you." The way Hiei had answered

her Kitsumi knew that was not the reason he had come. "Why?" She asked him again. Hiei was about to answer

when he saw the look of horror on Kitsumi's face. Seirou.

Sycoh: Ok, I've made it so that either this will be the last chappie or I will have a big fight

scene and then a lemon. I think it's kinda cool how that just worked out like that. It all

depends on how many reviews I get. Two or three will mean the death if this story. I don't care

if you guys thought the characers were a little or a lot OOC in my story. If it fits in with what's

happening then that's fine. But there won't be a story if I don't get enough reviews.

Kitsumi: 'Tis a shame.

Sycoh: Yup, anyways review if you want. Maybe. Please? Pretty please with sexy little Hiei on a sweet

snow cone with some chocolate and a cherry on top?

(Hiei pops up): Damn it you fool! You've made me want to eat myself.*nibbles on finger*Review

or die.
