Chapter Two: Ice, Fire, and Foxes

Rin ran up stairs and burst into Kurama's room.

"Kurama!! This is terrible! I saw some one leave through your window! It was the same guy who I saw on the building! This is terrible! He could be a robber!"--

"Rin?"

"Did he steal anything? What happened?! Are you hurt?!"

"Hold on now.."

"Do I need to go after him? Should I freeze the whole street? Is he a demon? Why was he hear?" she said really fast.

She gasped and grabbed Kurama by the shoulders and pulled him down so he was eye level with her. She looked more worried than ever now.

"Did he take the Playstation2 game console?! Tell me damnit!!! Did he take it?!"

"No, Rin listen."

"OH LORD HE TOOK IT!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!" she yelled, shaking him.

"RIN!!!!!" he said grabbing her shoulders, "Calm down!! He stole nothing! No one was hurt!"

"Really? We still have the Playstation2?" asked Rin.

"Oh, and I just got a call from your dad. He went on a business trip. He'll be gone for a week."

"Fine." Rin sighed.

She wanted her dad to be around more often. He would always go on a business trip when it was least convenient for her. He would always take Jaken with him, too. He wasn't her actual dad. But he raised her so far. He was a dog demon. She recently found out that she was a half demon herself. "Rin? Are you okay?"

"No."

"I didn't want to tell you, because I knew it would make you sad. But if I didn't tell you would have gotten mad at me and so would everyone else..... Rin? Are you... crying?"

She was. For the first time in a long while, she was truly crying. She wanted her dad to be her for her. Not going to work for long hours. Not trying to support her. Here. Holding her like she saw all the other father hug their children when they came home. She hadn't been hugged by him in a while.

"Rin...." Said Kurama but he couldn't finish his sentence. He really didn't know what to say.

He pulled her into a hug. After about fifteen minutes of them crying, they began to calm down.

"ugh.."

"You okay now?"

"Yeah.. a little bit." Rin said, "Should I start dinner?"

"You sure you can? Maybe I should tonight. You've been crying a lot."

"But... You can't cook, Kurama."

"You have a point." Laughed Kurama. Rin gave him a weak smile.

Kurama smiled back.

"There's the famous smile I want to see. Now go to the kitchen and start dinner. I'll be down in a minute."

"Okay."

Rin went down stairs and started to make leek soup and rice with teriyaki chicken. She really liked to cook. She made some tea along with it. She set the table (which was low to the ground. Remember, we are in Japan) and sat down on the pillow she usually sat on. Kurama came in and sat down at the end of the table. They started eating.

"You've out done yourself again, Rin. Delicious."

"Mmm-hmm!! I think so! I love to cook!" she said, beaming.

Suddenly she felt a chill down her spine. She looked around.

"What is it?" asked Kurama, looking worried.

"A... demon..." said Rin still looking around.

"Uh-huh..." said Kurama in an I-knew-it way.

He got up, walked out of the dinning room closely followed by Rin. He waited by the front door and listened closely. Then he looked back at Rin.

"Stand back, Rin. Or it might be better if you stand behind me." He said.

Rin walked behind him. Kurama quickly opened the door a moment later and as soon as the door came open, a small black streak whizzed passed them and started to jump all over the house.

"What is that?!" yelled Rin is a state of shock.

Kurama walked into the living room where the thing was jumping around.

"Hiei!!! Calm down! She's a friend!" yelled Kurama.

The black thing stopped revealing the boy Rin kept seeing!

"You can come out now Rin. It's all right." Said Kurama as he motioned for her to come out of her hiding spot.

Rin walked up to the Fire Demon and gave him a good look.

"Hi! I'm Rin! I think we met at me school. Am I right?"

The demon just glared at her. She stepped back.

"Uhhhhh... May I help you?"

Hiei Sharply looked at Kurama.

"A ningen? Kurama.. don't tell me you've grown attached to another useless human."

"She's an ice apparition. Not a human."

Kyoki: Well, there you have it! the second chappie!! R&R!!!

Ryoku: WOOT!

Kurama: Umm..... Are you ok, Ryoku?

Ryoku: SUGAR!!!

Kyoki/ Kurama: run away
