Meru: I'M BAAAAAAAAACK
Hiei: Do you have to be so annoying?
Meru: Yes
Kurama/Hiei: Sweatdrops
Kurama: So... you were at summer school, right?
Meru: shudders I NEVER WANT TO HEAR THAT WORD AGAIN! It was awful! School during the day, no computer at night! Homework! Living with my grandmother! It was terrible! I needed to correct this chappie for Nolan-sama but I couldn't! And it was teeeeeeeerrribble!!!
Kurama: That doesn't sound so bad.
Meru: Easy for you to say, you love your family and are a know it all.
Hiei: What is summer school?
Meru: He is stupid, isn't he?
Hiei: TAKE THAT BACK!
Meru: NO!
Hiei: Pushes Meru against a wall and presses the katana to her neck
Kurama: Might not wanna do that.
Hiei: Why?
Meru: smirks Cause your face way is too close kisses him, making him back away disgusted YAY! I WIN!
Kurama: Please do the disclaimer, the audience is waiting.
Meru: Ahem, I do not own, nor ever will in my lifetime, YYH. Nolan doesn't either. Now lets go on with the show.
Hiei was sweating profusely as he again slashed his katana as fast as he could. He and Mukuro had returned to Makai a few days ago, and since then he was in intense training with Mukuro. Mukuro was actually reaching a point were she couldn't keep up with Hiei's pace and she would end up on the ground after a brutal exchange of fighting. Hiei knew he only had four days till Yusuke would begin the tournament to decide all the worlds' fates. Hiei was discovering new drive to be stronger and faster. It was sleep or training. He wanted to make himself stand a fighting chance against Yusuke, or maybe even better he hoped.
Mean while Kurama was holding Ryuzo inside Mukuro's castle in the Guest room she provided for them. He too wanted to train but his daughter was his number one priority. He would find himself usually holding her outside while watching both Mukuro and Hiei spar like there was no tomorrow. Kurama had noted how much stronger Hiei had became and the strong evidence of Hiei's new dominance over Mukuro.
While Kurama's thoughts were wondering he finally noticed that Ryuzo was fast asleep in his arms. Kurama then laid her down in a crib which Mukuro had provided him. Kurama was about to go to sleep in the bed right next to the crib, when suddenly the door opened with a slow hiss. Kurama quickly saw the cattle's owner, Mukuro looked extremely exhausted and had noticeable rips and tears in her uniform, not to mention the scrapes and cuts and dry blood.
"Kurama" she spoke above a whisper, exhaustion apparent in her voice, a rare expression to hear from a strong fighter such as herself. "Hiei is way beyond my level, and I cant keep going without being killed,"
Kurama started to speak in concern as he approached her, "Mukuro you- "
"Kurama" interrupted Mukuro, "you must go and train with Hiei. Don't worry, I'll watch over Ryuzo."
"But how can I even begin to train him when you, who's strength far surpasses mine, can't even come close to him much less survive?" Kurama was confused yet he already knew the answer he just then wanted to clarify it due to the severity of the situation.
"You must know that Hiei needs you more than ever. He needs you to be in your true form to test his new endurance abilities. He feels he needs to sharpen his tactics if he is to defeat Yusuke." Mukuro then smiled "Besides it wouldn't hurt for you to level yourself up as well."
Kurama's eye's shut and nodded his head. "Very well, Mukuro. I'll count on you to watch over my daughter. Remember that she needs to eat three times a day. Warmed milk is what she usually has."
Kurama walked past Mukuro and headed to where Hiei was training. As soon as he reached the final door, he turned around smirking. Mukuro stepped out of the guest room, knowing Kurama had a last word.
"Make sure you feed her decent human food. Yukina and I have fed her like a human. You'll understand, I mean we were raising her on earth after all..."
Mukuro had a confused look on her face but quickly composed herself, smiled and nodded, "Don't worry Kurama, she's in good hands."
Kurama smiled back and walked out, but before he shut the door he spoke once more, "And Mukuro... thank you for everything," and without waiting for response, closed the door quietly.
Mukuro smiled back and snickered "Well, good luck to you Kurama, you'll need it." Mukuro then noticed Ryuzo was staring to get restless and quickly found herself playing mother to the motherless infant.
Kurama walked toward a noisy area a few miles away in the woods. As Kurama approached said area, Hiei's energy signature debris and the remains of destroyed trees were becoming more common to. After walking a bit more, Kurama entered what looked like a battlefield. The stumps of butchered trees, ruined earth, and blood stained grass was what remained of this section of the woods. Kurama continued to search through the field for Hiei. The fox could sense him, but couldn't pin point the exact location.
After a few minutes of searching, Kurama finally spotted Hiei about fifty yard to his left, in the center of a small crater. The fire demon was standing there shirtless and and having slashes all over his body. Kurama's eyes widened as he saw the black fire surrounding Hiei. Pure energy enveloped Hiei like fire to a burning tree. Kurama noticed how natural Hiei had become with the dark fire. In the past, he would have been burned to a crisp, but obviously not now. This Hiei was immune to any kind of fire and he was able to some how barrier his clothing from being burned due to the black pants not even smoking.
"Incredible," Kurama said quietly "to be invulnerable to fire a truly spectacular achievement."
Hiei's head turned to come in eye contact with Kurama, Hiei's three eyes were so bright that Kurama had to squint to match them. Hiei lowered his the energy and returned to normal. Kurama stared at Hiei with shaking eyes and Hiei just smirked a little and approached his long time friend like nothing was ever different. The short demon slowly walked towards Kurama. When Hiei was half an arms length away from Kurama, he broke the silence in a calm, serious tone. "How's Ryuzo doing?"
Kurama's features relaxed as he spoke up. "She's been fine. Mukuro's now taking care of here."
Hiei now a few feet away from Kurama changed the subject. "Listen Kurama, Mukuro has just about found her limit of power. I'm just about there as well but I'm going to train with you these last days to sharpen my tactics and skills. I'm going to go some what easy on you, but I suggest you go to your true form and make things more interesting." Kurama shivered at the thought of the battle ahead. He was no match to Hiei m, even in his true form, but it had to be done to help Hiei.
Kurama smirked and nodded his head, "Very well Hiei. I'll give you all I've got."
Kurama started glowing red as he began his transformation. Red steam started rising as wind began to pick up around them. Everything seemed to be hampered by the force besides Hiei, who stood with his casual look and his hands in his pockets. Kurama now started growling. For some reason, his anger towards the whole situation was now affecting his transformation and unknowing made him stronger. Hiei when noticed this, as his casual look melted into one of shock. How did Kurama gain this much power? He was nearly equal to Mukuro when she was healthy. Kurama's body was enveloped in white light as the transformation was near its end. In an instant, all the light and wind vanished and there in its place stood none other than the famous fox bandit, Yoko Kurama.
Hiei returned to his casual look and smirked. "Well looks like your ready, my friend," his voice was soft yet serious.
Kurama's pointy ears shook a bit as he spoke, his voice light hearted with a hint of sarcasm "Well Hiei, shall we be off now?"
"Yes, lets get moving." Hiei took a fighting stance and readied himself. Kurama took his stance as well. The best training Hiei would have all day was about to began...
Meru: Wow, that chapter sucked
Hiei: No it didn't, I was strong!
Meru: Aaaaw, did wittle Hiei feel big and stwong.
Hiei: Grrrrr
Kurama: Now you two... I feel like I'm babysitting five year olds
Meru: hugs Kurama I wuv you Kuwama blinks cutely
Hiei: glares
Meru: Who are you jealous of, Hiei? Me or him.
Hiei: Hmph
Meru: giggle
Kurama: Anyway, Meru is going away for a month or so. Until then, the next chapter will not be posted.
Meru: I'm sorry bows
Hiei: I'm not, this means a month without you.
Meru: pulls out the trusty mallet don't make me use this
Hiei: cowers
Hiei: Do you have to be so annoying?
Meru: Yes
Kurama/Hiei: Sweatdrops
