Hiei17: Hey all you Kurama fans you favorite fox demon is in this chapter.

Juri: (flashback of dark tournament Yoko Kurama versus Karasu) Does he have a giant man eating plant in this chapter?

Hiei: Yes the author put it in here especially for you.

Hiei17: No there won't be any man-eating plants to devour anyone in this chapter.

Juri: Thank you! (kisses author on cheek)

Hiei: I hate you all.

Ray: What are you guys arguing about?

Hiei: Nothing that concerns you.

Hiei17: Actually Ray does meet Kurama in this chapter so it does involve him.

Juri: Do my ears deceive me or did someone outwit the great Hiei?

Hiei: Hn.

Ray: Wow you're right.

Hiei: Do you intend to start this chapter any time soon?

Hiei17: Yes soon enough.

Ray: How about now?

Hiei17: No

Juri: Now?

Hiei17: No

Hiei: How about before I kill you in ten seconds.

Hiei17: Okay like I promised this chapter has you're favorite Red haired fox demon. So now on with the fic.

Juri awoke to the sound of heavy rain. She yawned and stretched slightly finding the serenade of the pounding rain relaxing. She lifted her lazy body out of her bed and stared out her window at the water falling from the sky.

She walked to her bathroom and turned on the hot water of the shower. She began to prepare for her shower.

Hiei was meditating outside. Cascades of rain fell from the sky and soaked his body. Hiei reached the headband that went around his head. He pulled it off revealing his jagan eye letting it scan the area. It searched for something anything that seemed out of place even the slightest detail. It hungered. It hungered for the sight of blood. He stood up and put his headband back on. He turned and walked inside.

Juri walked out of the bathroom now smelling of lavender and felt more relaxed. She walked to her closet and searched for anything to wear. To her avail she could not find any thing. She continued to scurry through the closet.

Ray opened his eyes and felt tranquil about his surroundings. It didn't take him long to accept his new home. Even though it would still take him longer to accept his parents death.

Ray stumbled out of his room and made his way down stairs. He glanced at the drenched Hiei waiting at the bottom of the stairs. He continued towards his teacher cautiously. He smiled at Hiei.

"Do we start training today Hiei?" Ray asked with enthusiasm.

Hiei smiled slightly. "Don't be so eager to start. Once we begin you'll wish you'd never asked that question." Hiei said. "Juri and I have an appointment to attend so we won't begin yet." He finished.

Ray grinned mischievously "Is it a date?" he asked daringly.

Hiei's smile vanished and his face turned to a slight shade of red. "The chances of that ever happening are once I kill you." He motioned towards the sheath at his side obviously hinting his weapon of choice.

"Are you boys playing nice?" Juri questioned coming down the stairs. She was wearing a short/tight black shirt with an open baggy teal shirt over it. Her pants were baggy and a dark lavender color. Her trademark pink bandana was wrapped around neck and to finish it off she wore a black baseball cap.

Hiei looked in awe at the woman approaching them. He slapped himself mentally and broke the trans. "We're late thanks to you. What took you so long?" Hiei glared trying to hide the red shade that formed on his cheeks.

"Wow Juri you look really nice." Ray said turning slightly pink at his cheeks.

"Thank you Ray you're so sweet." She said halting in front of Ray. She patted him on the shoulder. She continued on towards Hiei. "So I guess you obviously don't notice anything in front of your own three eyes." She said pointing at her current clothes.

"All I see is an excuse for making me late." Hiei proclaimed turning. "An excuse that I'm not going to be blamed for." He continued, walking away from her. CLANG! Hiei now had a slight pain on his head. "What was that for you wretch?!?" Hiei asked yelling at her.

Juri held the frying pan behind her back and looked innocently at the fire demon. " I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. All I hear is an excuse that's making me late and I'm not going to be blamed for it." Juri said smartly.

Hiei mumbled incoherently and cursed. "Fine, but since neither one of us is going to be here so, what to you suggest we do with the boy?" Hiei questioned rubbing his head.

Juri wondered what they were going to do as well. "How about we get one of your friends to look after him Hiei?" Juri asked.

Hiei began to wonder what would it be like if his friends looked after Ray. He would definitely not trust that fool Kuwabara in the same room with him for two seconds. Yusuke would probably show the kid some bad magazines that he's shouldn't be looking at. "Perhaps Kurama could assist in watching the boy." Hiei said with assurance that the boy would be safe with him.

"Yeah he could watch him for a while." Juri said smiling and rubbing Ray's hair.

"Perhaps he could help me with my dilemma on this orb." Hiei mumbled under his breath as he stared at his pocket where the orb was being contained. He had many questions going through his mind about this orb.

"Then it's settled." Juri proclaimed with a smile.

"Yes, but how will the child get there?" Hiei questioned.

"Duh, we can take my Moped. No big deal." Juri said.

"First of all I'm not going. Second of all that's not the problem that problem is your tail. People are going to notice that." Hiei said rolling his eyes.

"My tail? Oh no they're going to notice. They'll capture me and do horrible tests on me." Juri screamed.

"Well why don't you put a sweatshirt around you waist and try to keep it hidden?" Ray asked.

"That might work." Juri said running upstairs. She ran into her room and put a sweatshirt around her waist. She curled her tail and successfully kept it hidden for the most part. She ran down stairs and twirled around showing the boys.

"All right I'll meet you there Juri." Hiei said walking out the door. He swiftly ran off into the woods dodging trees as he went along or slice them whichever one he chose to do.

Juri walked outside and went to the garage. Ray followed behind her. She opened the door to reveal her teal Moped. She handed the boy a helmet and put on her own. Ray hesitated and put one on him.

"Hop on." Juri said waiting until he got on.

"Shouldn't you get on first?" Ray questioned Juri.

"No I'll feel better if you're in front of me. This way I won't have to worry about you falling of in the back." Juri said smiling.

Ray shook his head and mounted the Moped. Juri sat behind him and turned the key. The Moped started and Juri swung her legs knocking the kickstand up and floored the gas pedal. She hit a button and a portal appeared in front of them. She zoomed right through.

They found themselves on the side of a freeway close to where Ray lived. Juri pulled herself on to the freeway and began to zoom on passing many cars and other vehicles. She took a detour due to a sign telling that the bridge was closed. (I wonder why.) She made her way into the town where Ray lived. Ray realized where he was as they zoomed past the road he lived on.

They came to a sudden halt in front of a beautiful remodeled home with beautiful plants and flowers in front of it. A small water fountain shot out jets of water in the lawn. There was also an old fashioned black gate in front of a black gate that led to the house.

Ray was astonished by the beauty of this house and opened the gates making his way to the house. Juri followed closely behind adjusting her cap to hide her ears. Juri rang the doorbell and they waited as footsteps made their way to the door.

The door slowly swung open. A teen with long red hair stood there. He had emerald green eyes that scanned over the guests. He was wearing his pink school uniform that was cleaned to perfection. "Welcome I have been awaiting your arrival." The young man said with politeness.

"How'd you know we would be coming?" Juri asked confused.

"Hiei asked me if I would watch Ray. I agreed and he told me that you two would be arriving soon." Kurama said answering the question with such politeness.

"Wow that was nice of him." Juri said thinking of Hiei.

"He also said to take you time because that would mean he would get much more enjoyment from your punishment for being late." Kurama finished.

"That jerk when I see him I'm going to..." Juri yelled and said the rest mumbling. She stomped off and hopped on her Moped. "See ya later Ray." She shouted back to him and with that he was gone.

Kurama and Ray exchanged glances. Kurama's eyes searched the boy in question. "My name is Kurama I am one of Hiei's close friends. Please come in and follow me." The red haired youth said.

Ray walked in staring at the pictures and paintings that were occupied on the wall. Kurama walked to the stairs and motioned Ray to follow. There were only two doors and one window up here. Kurama opened one of the doors. The room was very neat. Green pillows and red covers covered the bed. A beautiful wooden dresser was near the window. It had a picture of a woman with a younger version of this red haired youth that led him here. Another had Hiei, Kurama, and two other people. One was a red haired teen wearing an open white shirt and white pants who grinned with much excitement. The other one was a black haired teen that looked quite exhausted but still seemed to be able to keep a confident smile on his face. He was wearing a yellow tank top with blue sweat pants and looked familiar.

"So I heard of an accident with you and you're parents and many other people on the bridge, I'm very sorry." Kurama said closing the door.

Ray was focused on two things that day. The first was meeting Hiei and Juri. The second... "That bridge breaking was no accident." Ray said with a glare in his eyes. "Someone or something caused it." He shuddered at the thought.

"What do you mean by that. You, your family, and the humans were the only ones on that bridge." Kurama explained.

"Humans? What do you mean by that?" Ray questioned. His head began to ache.

"You're not aware that you are a demon?" Kurama asked confused. He shook his head and gave a small laugh.

"I'm a demon? But how is that even possible?" Ray asked confused as well but not amused.

"You and you're family are water demons." Kurama said with knowledge that Ray hadn't even had about his own family.

"So shouldn't I have any powers? Wouldn't I be stronger? Shouldn't I have a demon form?" Ray asked with thoughts racing through his mind. If he had known could he have saved his family?

"You have many powers that you are not aware of yet. You would be stronger if your father had chosen to train you at a younger age. I'm afraid that you don't have a demon form because you were being raised in a human world where you would never have time to properly develop it." Kurama said in a laid back voice. "I am quite curious about what you saw though." Kurama requested.

"The silver-haired figure. Whoever it was that's who caused the bridge to fall." Ray explained trying to remember the figure more precisely. His expression showed nervousness.

"This brings up more serious questions than that bridge being accidental." Kurama said with a lot of thought on his mind. "Could I possibly have a some more description on this silver haired man?" Kurama asked keeping his politeness.

"The I'd figure it was in its early 20's. Its silver hair came down a little past the waist. The eyes were an aquamarine color. It could run really fast and was wearing all black and a cape. That's all I can remember." Ray said with uncertainty.

"Thank you that'll be enough information for now." Kurama said with a smile.

Ray noticed on the dresser by the pictures he hadn't noticed before. It was an orb that was sapphire and seemed to almost be transparent. It was about the size of a baseball that drew attention to itself because of its beauty.

Kurama wondered what the boy was looking at and traced the gaze to its source. The orb the boy stared at was very mysterious. Hiei had given it to him and asked if he could figure out anything about it when he stopped by earlier.

"It's very interesting isn't it?" Kurama asked trying to break the trans of the boy.

Ray was brought back to reality from the Kurama's voice. "Sorry I was just curious about that thing on your dresser, by the way what is it?" Ray asked trying to divert his eyes from the orb.

"Oh, that? It's just a little project I've been working on." Kurama said.

"Really? Can I lay down somewhere?" Ray asked.

"Of course. You can lay on the bed." Kurama said moving out of the boy's way.

Ray walked past the orb feeling a little dizzy. The room turned to blurs of colors and swirls and then everything went black.

Ray was now standing in a cave with water droplets falling from above. Stalagmites and stalactites surrounded him. An echo could be scarcely heard. He looked around searching for where the noise came from. A light was coming into view and the words became clearer. Leviathan ...

Ray awoke in his room. He wondered how he got there and why he had collapsed.

"You've come to." Hiei said with an emotionless expression on his face.

"I thought I was at Kurama's house. How'd I get here?" Ray asked with a slight headache and confusion.

"You were asleep when you we came to pick you up. So, we brought you here when you were asleep." Hiei explained and he walked out the door feeling that there was no more to be said between them.

Juri came into the room. "How are you doing? Do you feel okay?" Juri asked with a worried expression on her face.

"I'm fine how'd you're appointment go? Did you get in trouble for being late" Ray asked trying to change the conversation.

"No, actually Hiei change the clock times to make sure that we I didn't get into trouble." Juri said with a slight blush on her face.

"He did that for you? That was really nice of him. But, I wonder why he would do that?" Ray wondered trying to figure out his alibi.

"I don't know why either. Hey, why don't you get some more rest you look really tired." Juri said.

"Sounds good to me." Ray said falling into a deep sleep feeling tranquil and content. Feeling the need to sleep even more.

Juri slowly closed the door and walked down the hall thinking about earlier today.

FLASH BACK

Juri sloppily left her moped at the entrance of Koenma's palace. She rushed past security that gave her a strange look as her rush knocked them over. "Sorry." She apologized as she continued down the hall making her way to the boss's office. She nervously gulped as her hand turned the doorknob.

"Koenma sir, I'm am so sorry." Juri apologized.

"Shut up you will be allowed to talk when you are spoken to." Hiei shouted as he gave a glare towards her.

"Hiei. That was very rude. We do not want her to be thinking badly of her partner now do we? Juri please excuse him. I'm very glad you both arrived on time." Koenma spoke a mouthful quickly.

"On time?" Juri said looking at the clock on Koenma's desk read 10:00 a.m.

"Of course that reads very good on your resume." Koenma complimented

"Oh yes, Hiei and I are just people who like to be on time." Juri said letting go of her nervousness.

"Yes. I would like to know why we were summoned here though. Hiei questioned

"Very well. I have called you here simply to ask you two have any of you found any small orb like thing maybe in Ray's possession?" Koenma asked.

"I haven't why do you have any idea what it is for?" Juri asked.

"No, not yet but I know it is something important for Ray's family and has been passed on from generation to generation." Koenma said with very little knowledge of the item he described.

"I have found this item you seek. It is in the possession of Kurama. I thought that if anyone could figure anything out that he could." Hiei said looking at the ground.

"Very good Hiei it appears we both had the same idea. If he doesn't figure out what it's purpose is he can bring it to us to further study it." Koenma said. "You are both dismissed." Koema said turning in his swirly chair.

Hiei and Juri walked out and left the building. The river sticks could scarcely be heard in the distance.

"If you're wondering I knocked out the people occupying the building and changed the clocks back." Hiei said reading Juri's mind.

Juri stared at the fire demon who seemed to be staring into her eyes for a second. He then vanished and Juri was alone.

Juri walked down the stairs and saw the fire demon at the bottom of the stairs relaxing.

"Thanks Hiei for the clock thing." Juri said.

Hiei turned and stared at her for a while. "You're... welcome." He said with the words coming out slowly but clear. "But I won't do it again." He continued walking out of her way.

"Sure." Juri said smiling.

Hiei17: Well I hope this chapter was good enough for you.

Hiei: What are you planning to do with the requests involving Juri and I.

Juri: I've been wondering about that as well. What are you going to try and do.

Ray: Yeah what's going on?

Hiei17: I plan to do what the reviewers want involving Hiei and Juri.

Hiei: You can't be serious.

Hiei17: I am.

Reviewers: Yep he is serious.

Hiei: Oh joy.

Hiei17: it sound like fun to me what do you think?

Hiei: I think you need to shut up before I kill you.

Ray: Okay.

Juri: Don't be mean to him.

Hiei: Or what?

Juri: (Pulls out frying pan)

Hiei: You wouldn't dare.

Juri: (Hits Hiei over the head with frying pan 20 times.

Hiei: I see your point.

Juri: I knew you would.

Ray: Ouch. That really had to hurt.

Juri: I'm sure it did.

Hiei17: I love how you guys get along.

Juri: I know we get along pretty good.

Hiei: In the world of fantasy.

Hiei17: Are we in Disney World all ready?

Hiei: (Shakes head with shame)

Hiei17: Anyway I hope you like the fic. Please review.

Reviewers: Okay but, only because you asked nicely.

Hiei17: Thank you.
