Displacement

Chapter Two- Preparation

The very next day, Mukuro held a meeting with her advisors about the upcoming state visit. Hiei looked as if the state visit was some kind of sick joke.

"What? Could you say that again, but slowly?" said Hiei, fighting a grin.

"Enki-sama has a new campaign to improve international relations. He wants me to stay in Gandara for one month." Replied Mukuro gravely.

"Is he crazy?" said Hiei mockingly, "You and Yomi can't even stand each other! And he expects you to stay with him for a month? It's impossible."

"Yes, thank you for that new insight Hiei." Said Mukuro with a tolerant smile. "But what is done, is done. I think I can resist killing Yomi for at least a month."

"But can he resist killing you?" answered Hiei, "I mean he's after your territory, Mukuro, and I bet he'll do just about anything to rule it."

"What do you think we should do about that?"

"Bodyguards. A hella lot of them."

"Oh I don't think I would need that much. Let's see, I'll hire at least one very skilled bodyguard. A bodyguard like you, perhaps?"

Hiei hesitated, "... You've got me, Mukuro. Alright I'll go as your bodyguard."

"Right. At least I'll have somebody to talk to." Said Mukuro with a gracious smile.

Meanwhile in Gandara, Yomi was making preparations of his own.

"Yomi-sama, what room will we give Lady Mukuro?" asked a servant girl with a high-pitched voice.

"Which of the rooms is the largest?" said Yomi in reply.

"Er... well apart from your room, which is the largest of course, we have the room on the other side of the fortress."

"Have it cleaned and arranged properly. I will not tolerate any mistakes. Understand that this is an important visit and we must behave at our best." Said Yomi.

"Yes, sir." Said the girl, bowing and exiting the door.

Shura, who was with Yomi, gave a sly smile.

"Papa, even I have to be on my best behavior?" said he, looking very mischievous.

"Yes. Even you, Shura." Replied Yomi with an indulgent smile.

"Oh. Does that mean I can't attack Mukuro from behind, or put poison in her food?"

Yomi almost smiled again at his son's inclination to mischief.

"Shura, if you intend to do those things... I will be forced to ask a babysitter to watch over you."

"Oooh, who's the babysitter then?" asked Shura excitedly.

"Yoda, perhaps?"

"No way! I hate Yoda! He's so boring!"

"Then will you behave?"

"Yes... I think so..." said Shura with a grin.

Yomi returned the smile and patted Shura's head.

"Now go and amuse yourself." Said Yomi.

"What about training?"

"We don't have time for that now."

"But what should I do?"

"Hmmm... ask OreWaTensai to play with you then." Said Yomi with a laugh.

"That's right! I love annoying her!"

"Go on then." Yomi motioned towards the door.

And OreWaTensai was pelted with Shura's annoying antics the whole damn day.

In the human world, Kurama was reading his daily fan mail when his phone rang.

"Kurama residence."

"It's me, Hiei."

"Oh? What's up?"

"Haven't you heard recent news from the demon world?"

"No, sorry, I've been busy lately." Said Kurama.

"Well Enki has this new campaign. And now Mukuro has to stay in Gandara for a whole month."

"What? Is that even possible?"

"I know what you're thinking. Yomi and Mukuro hate each other. I'm coming with Mukuro as her bodyguard."

"Why did you call me then?"

"Well don't you want to watch how this whole fiasco will play out?"

Kurama laughed. "Alright. I think I can take a vacation for one month. What time will you pick me up?"

"Hmph, I have no intention of picking you up whatsoever. If you want to come here, come here yourself." Said Hiei flatly.

"Ok, ok. I was just kidding. Don't be so stingy."

"Shut up Kurama."

"Hai!" said Kurama cheerfully.

OreWaTensai: Tadaa, Hiei has appeared! Anyhow I hope you still read and review this because I'm kinda thinking whether I should still continue this. If you keep reviewing then I'm definitely going to continue this. (
