Answers to my wonderful reviewers
Animefreak54: You know, you're always the first one to review my chapter. I think every time. That's dedication. Well anyway, you know when you said 'JOKING! JOKING! GAWD I was joking' you sounded like my friend, Disha. She always says that after she jokes with me. And I hope you like this chapter.
Tuathafaerie: The name 'Fredrik' annoys me. My brother's friend Deep always goes on about selling a guy named Fredrik on Ebay. HE'S SOOOOOO ANNOYING! He even hit me over the head with a chair. It didn't really hurt after the 1st 15 seconds...but still. Now you know why Hiei took her to his Idiot Master.
Hiei's Ice Maiden: What do you mean by 'updates in pattern' but if you can't remember, I don't care. I hope you like this chapter.
Fiery-Ice-Kitsune: I made someone feel special! Good, my deed for the chapter is done.
Robin Autumn: I don't know what to write to you...hmm...hmm...I know! Why don't you go read the next chapter! That will keep you preoccupied, yep. Oh! And be on the lookout for another chapter on Sunday of Monday. 4-DAY WEEKEND FROM PRISON- ((cough)) I mean school ((Laughing nervously)

Last time
"Hello, Miss Saisa." He said using my Birth Name.
"H-How do you k-know?" I asked shakily.
"Don't worry. He knows all of the Mages' Birth Names. It's part of his job." Alethia muttered.
"Does that mean?" Alethio asked, with widened eyes.
My eyes were also widened
"Why yes, my good Daemon. I am Mokushi's, who you know as Hiei's, loving master, Asakura" An innocent smile came to his lips and his eyes danced with amusement.

Chapter 10: The Siblings Saddening...Kurama and Yukina...
Yukina POV...This place is the greatest...
I was still in the darkness of Teken waiting for the slow fox to come. I thought Kitsunes were supposed to be fast. Yeah, right.
A flash of green and the sounder of a hammer hitting hot metal sounded to my right, and Kurama appeared.
So he is linked to earth and metal, but the question is...what kind of powers does he possess?
My eyes narrowed as I thought.
"Sorry for the long wait...so you are a Mist and Steel Mage." Kurama asked raising an eyebrow teasingly.
"Okay, okay. I meant Metal, I always call it Steel for some stupid reason." I whined, pouting.
Kurama laughed.
"You're almost as forgetful as Hiei." I grinned.
"Almost. I'm not as forgetful as him yet."
"Thank the lords." Kurama muttered, causing me the stifle a giggle.
I've said this once and I'll say it again, he's not all that bad. Being Hiei's guardian and keeping a pinch, a pinch of sanity was tough, a proven fact, but here Kurama looks like he's kept most of it. I say most of it because I haven't known his Mage side for long, and when you let your Mage side out you usually get different personalities. Just look at Hiei. Anti-social to childish psychopath, while I go from naïve and innocent to a girl with an emotionless mask and a quick tongue.
"Let's go. I wanna find Hiei and Boton." –Kurama raised an eyebrow- "I'm hungry." I whined.
"Okay, okay. Let's go my lady." He said smiling.
"Uh huh." I said as my fists shook and I tried to hold in my anger and tears.
Thankfully Kurama didn't see.
As we walked toward the temple I looked at back at the ring, since a while after Kurama had taken the lead.
Typical of a man.
I sensed 2 energy signals, the owners gone long before, which kept entwining around each other. It was weird. In all my life I have never seen anything like this.
Could this also be a sign that things will be changing soon.
I wonder...
I suddenly grinned.
Hiei and Boton sitting in a tree...I started singing in my head with my eyes closed.
I must have been humming the tune Kurama stopped and I slammed into him.
"What was that for?" I asked with narrowed eyes as I rubbed my head.
"What were you humming?" He asked.
"Huh...Oh! I was just singing Hiei and Boton sitting in a tree. I didn't know I was humming it. Sorry." I said sheepishly, rubbing my neck.
"It's all right. We'll get them together...and Suki will help us." Kurama grinned, eyes flashing gold.
"Suki?" I asked.
Hiei's said her name a lot.
"She's my sister, one of Hiei's best friends. She's been trying to get Hiei a girlfriend for god knows how long. She's trying to get me one, too." –Rage filled me for some unknown reason. -"But she's focused mainly on Hiei's girlfriend." Kurama said, his grin becoming wider.
"Oh, okay." I sighed; trying not to sound relieved.
"Hmm?" Kurama murmured a questioning look on his face.
"Uh...Well then. Let's go!" I exclaimed as I ran ahead.
I looked back, running backwards, and shouted, "What! Going too slow for ya!"
I ripped my kimono up to my knees with kunai's, that had magically appeared between my knuckles on both hands with a flick of my wrist.
Once the silts were up I ripped my kimono sleeves off at the shoulder, leaving the sleeves jagged.
I should never have picked the habit of tearing sleeves from my brother.
Once they were both gone I flicked my wrists back and the kunai's disappeared.
I looked up to see Kurama blush and a faint blush appeared on my cheeks, but not wanting to show I was embarrassed I turned around and started running again.
"Too slow!" I taunted over my shoulder.
"Oh..." -Kurama looked clueless but then comprehended what I said- "HEY! Wait up!" Kurama shouted after me.
I grinned.
...Hiei and Boton...
Boton POV"HE'S YOUR MASTER! ASAKURA IS YOUR MASTER!" I shouted, eyes bulging.
"Yes, unfortunately." Hiei muttered.
"I'm not that bad." Asakura said pouting, eyes dancing.
"Che, yeah, right." Hiei muttered; his eyes also looked like they were dancing.
"Yes, I am a genius." Asakura said grinning.
"You, a genius? When Raven stops being perverted." Hiei snickered.
Asakura glared shutting Hiei up swiftly.
He then turned to, causing me to freeze for that second, yet again.
"So...you're the new Light Mage." Asakura stated.
"Yes, sir." I replied.
He smiled and turned to Hiei.
"See, Moki, why can't you be more like her." Asakura asked.
"3 words. I. Hate. You." Hiei said almost cheerfully, as he grinned.
"Hmm." Asakura muttered just staring at him, before looking back at me.
"Now, you're Birth Name is Saisa. What's your second name?" He asked me nicely.
"Boton. Boton Faye." I replied.
I saw Asakura's and Hiei's eyes harden with sadness and anger.
What's wrong with them?
Their eyes glistened with what I thought were tears.
Tears?
Asakura closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He opened his eyes and they were back to the same cheerfulness.
Hiei shook his head and then looked up, trying to get rid of the sadness that inhabited his eyes.
"Is..." –I bit my lip- "there something wrong?" I asked, worried for the 2.
Hiei surprised me by answering, "N-No...no...well Idiot Master, shouldn't you show her your daemon and tell her what kind of Mage you are?"
Hiei was trying desperately to hide his sadness; I could feel it.
I'll find out what happened, I thought determined.
"All righty then." He said jumping up. "My daemon isn't here at the moment but let me tell you I'm a...uh, I can't believe I'm actually telling you this, Sage."
"A-a w-what!" I stuttered with widened eyes.
"Yes." Asakura sighed. "I'm a Sage."
"No way." I muttered.
He's a Sage. He's mastered every Mage power in the Worlds.
I turned to Hiei and glared at him.
"You have a Sage as your Master and you hate him!" –I grabbed his shoulders –" How can you! He can teach you so many things and you...you hate him!?" I shouted at him, shaking him roughly.
It pays to be taller then some people.
"Yes! Because he is evil!" Hiei shouted breaking out of my grip, a glare in place.
"So? He's a Sage! You could become a Sage, too, you idiot!" I shouted at him.
"I know that! That's why I put up with him!" Hiei shouted.
"I'm not that bad." Asakura muttered, pouting, but he was ignored.
"Good." I sighed.
"Why do you care?" Hiei asked me while tilting his head.
Uh...Why do I care?
...Kurama and Yukina...
Kurama POV"Just like Hiei." I muttered as I came to a stop in front of Yukina.
"I beat you." Yukina said smirking.
"Whatever." I replied glaring at her as I walked past.
"Stop being such a sore loser." Yukina said still standing where I left her.
"I am?" I asked looking back at her, "How?"
"Well...hmm. You just gave off the feeling you were being a sore loser." She explained.
"Really. Well then." I said smiling. "You have won Madam Yukina. I am your slave for life." I joked sarcastically, bowing deeply.
I looked up at Yukina and saw that she was frowning and her eyes were hardened.
Usually when I tease girls they blush or giggle.
"Don't...ever call me Mistress or anything of the like." She growled out.
I looked into her eyes and along with hatred I saw pain and fear. What could have happened to her that made her hate that so much...was it the Koorime?
"I'm sorry." I solemnly said.
"It-It's okay. I kinda over-exaggerated over there. I should be apologizing." Yukina said her eyes going back to two emotionless pools of blood.
"Well then, let's go. I wanna get to Hiei before he kills Asakura."
"Would Hiei really kill him?" Yukina asked, forgetting what had just taken place.
"Well...no...severely maimed or injured would be more like it." I said looking up thoughtfully.
Thank the gods Yukina is just like Hiei; forgets after a maximum of 2 minutes.
"Ah...Hey! Where's Cuno and Avani?" Yukina asked looking around.
"You don't think they," I asked.
"Went to torture Hiei and Boton without us." Yukina finished.
At the same time we felt out for them and saw they were just talking in the Fire World.
Metal took up most of my power so I belong in the Fire World just like Yukina. I also like the Earth World but Fire feels more home-like to me.
We both sighed.
"Let's go before they actually decide to go without us." I sighed as I started walking away.
"Aye, aye, Captain." Yukina joked as followed.
She's...nice when she's not acting naïve or innocent and you really get to know her.
I wonder what Hiei would say if he heard that, I joked in my mind.
...I hope he won't mind...
...To be continued...
So...how'd ya like it? The Yukina and Kurama parts were kinda sucky in my eyes, but I don't want the to just fall in love with each other or anything.
