SAD KITSUNE LOVE

Author: Hello, it's me again! Thanks people for the corrections now I know it's Yusuke and Shizuru. Anyway, as promised this will be a chapter dedicated to Hiei's girlfriend, the one the gang ever knew about. Funny how things work out, ne? Anyway, the next chapter, (Ch. 8) I want to dedicate to peoples questions so, ask questions in your reviews or you can e-mail me them! My e-mail address is, ktye03@aol.com

So, now that my friend is back, she'll make sure I update everyday... so er...yeah. Check a lot (I get the wrath of Mai if I don't update, waaahhh, especially if she likes the story!) So I'm write this chapter now before she finds out that I haven't been....

Chapter 7: Kumaru

The girl looked up from their conversation as soon as Kurama came in. Her cold purple eyes narrowed. "Are you Kurama?" She asked. Kurama regained himself.

"Yes, and you are?" He said. "Kumaru, call me Maru." She answered. Kurama noted the Bow strapped to her back, the katana and the throwing knives tucked beneath her sash.

" May I ask who you are?" He asked. "Hiei, you never told them?"She said with a wry smile. Hiei muttered something that sounded suspiciously like, 'Why did I have to if they never asked?' "They wouldn't ask, baka! They never even met me!" She retorted to him. Hiei snorted and looked away. She turned her violet gaze to Kurama. "I'm Hiei's girlfriend." She said.

Kurama blinked. "Never knew he had one. Nice to meet you." He said after a moment of silence. She seemed to have expected something else. She ran her fingers through her sort, light purple hair that was streaked with blonde. Her hair fell to her shoulders. Maru wore a black shirt that had 3/4 sleeves and black baggy pants. Kurama decided that she was perfect for Hiei. Not just from her attire, but also 'cause she even insulted him. "What are you staring at?!" She said with a glare. Yep. Perfect couple.

Just then Yusuke came in. "Girls.." He mumbled. "Stupid, girl it was just a compliment... she didn't have to act like..." He broke off when he saw that there was a girl in his presence. "Who are you?!" He said, rather rudely, plainly he was in a bad mood. She straightened . "I'm Hiei's girlfriend, Kumaru. Call me Maru." She said. Yusuke grinned. "So, when's the wedding?" That got a glare from the couple.

"My guess is not any time soon." Kurama said, with a small smile. Maru growled, catlike. Hiei shook his head."Don't get her too angry." He murmured. Knowing Hiei, Yusuke decided to take his advice. "Kurama, did Mina get away safely?" He asked, instead. Kurama nodded, sitting down on the bed. Hiei, perched at the window was beginning to get drowsy said, "You can stay with the other girls tonight Maru."

"Yeah... goodnight..." She said, kissing him on the cheek, making him blush. "Stupid girl..." He muttered. She didn't hear since she was already at the door. Kuwabara came in just as Maru closed the door. "Who's the hot chick?" He asked. Hiei was on him in a second. Holding his katana to Kuwabara's throat he snarled, "Don't you get any ideas! Don't even think about her!" Kuwabara took a step back. "Whoa, is was just a question! Who is she?" He asked, frightened. Hiei put back his sword in his sheath and went back to the window. "She's none of your concern." He said.

"Okay, really, who is she you guys?" Yusuke and Kurama trying to refrain from laughing, didn't say anything. Instead they just smiled and went to sleep.

*Meanwhile with the girls....*

"Who are you?" Botan asked. "Kumaru, call me Maru. Hiei said to bunk with you guys tonight. Is that alright?" Maru said. 'There is something different about her, it seems like she's two people.' Shizuru thought. "Something wrong?" Maru asked.

"You have two auras, like you're two people." Shizuru said. "Ohh, is that all... I share a soul with a girl, Knai." Maru said. She sat down and leaned against the wall. "Goodnight." She said, then fell asleep.

*Mean while with Mina*

Mina trudged down the path, hating life, hating her team. She knew she should hurry, but she didn't feel like it. A shadow blocked her path. She glared in that direction. She should have known. "What do you want Karasu?!" The shadow moved closer. "Oh, found me out? Like you did at the fire escape." He said, his eyes narrowing. "I don't know what you're talking about." She said coldly, realizing that he must of seen them on the roof. 'Oh, great, he saw me with the ningen from Urameshi's team. I'm in big trouble.' She thought. "You know what I'm talking about. You were with the human, Kurama. Isn't he on Team Urameshi?" Karasu's eyes penetrated her own.

"Why would I be with a ningen on our opposing team?" She said coolly. "That's what I would like to know." He said. "I said I don't kn-" She was cut off by a slap. "Don't lie, wench. I'm still surprised you're alive, with all the lies you tell Togoru should of killed you by now." He said coldly. "Bastard." She spat. She didn't heal her cheek with her hand, that would of shown weakness. "Think what you like. But I'll make sure..." He didn't finish. Someone was coming down the path. Annoyed, he disappeared through the trees.
Mina watched him go, then turned to see who it was. Unfortunately, it was Togoru. "Talking to someone?" He asked. "No sir." She said, politly. "Just talking to myself." Togoru bought that. "Why didn't you show up this afternoon?" He asked, cutting straight to the chase. "I- I feel asleep, lost track of time. Then when I realized what time it was, I started to run and I tripped and broke my ankle." She indicated her bandaged foot.

"Did anyone help you?" He asked. "The ningen Kurama." She answered. She decided it was best to answer truthfully. "I see, hurry and get to the hotel. I have pressing matters to attend to." He said. He walked away. She stared after him dumbfounded.

'I thought he was gonna get mad at me and hit me like usual. Is he okay?' She thought, then scampered off towards the hotel.

*With Karasu*

'Stupid girl. Lying all the time. She can't even realize the obvious... When this Tournament is history and Togoru dead, she will be mine...' He thought

Author: Okay, so I don't know Karasu's personality. So what. It added to my plot twist. Anyway.... what do you guys think of the way Togoru acted, weird, huh? So... I'm asking you all a question, should Kurama and Mina secretly date? Since Kumaru is open minded.... er.... she doesn't have to date secretly.

The person who made Kumaru, did I do her personality right? If not, I'll try to change it... I thought Hiei already having a girlfriend and all was okay... also I couldn't think of another way for Maru to come in. So send in your e-mails people!!!
