Day and Night in One: Solaris Moon's Origins

Part Four: The capture

"They're late..." Joshi said, pacing.
"Joshi, they're big girls. Maybe it was traffic or Solaris got hungry. You know how she is." a minor demon said.
"They went by foot, and Solaris ate right before she left." he growled, tempted to slap the demon.
"So you finally got dear little 'Ame' into your clutches? Congrats!"
"You fool, of course I didn't! Otherwise I'd be smiling! She had dinner with the Youko Kurama. He chalked her dislike of me up to the fact that she has class. And the little bitch didn't dispute it! She ought to be grateful to me for pulling her and her urchin of a muse off the streets!" he said in a fury.
"Who's an urchin? You can't possibly be talking about me." a familiar voice said. Joshi turned to see Solaris and Foxglove in the door of the tent.
"You're late! What took you?" Joshi fumed.
"The law. A lot of fuss over some gem." Solaris sighed, holding out the emerald in her palm. Joshi started to smile as he watched Solaris replace the gem in a pouch at her hip, then he pulled both girls into a hug.
"Heheh! My girls are the best!" he grinned. (A/N:Think Tarukone from the Yukina saga.) Both pushed him away at the same time.
"Hands off the tail!" both yelled simultaneously. Then Solaris slammed the emerald onto the table. "Joshi, we got some folks here who'd like to meet you." Solaris said. Just then the Reikai Tantei bust in.
"Wha-what? The Reikai Tantei!" Joshi yelled.
"Yeah. And we aren't here for auditions, either." Yusuke grinned. "You're under arrest!"
"Twice in one night. Do you think he's having too much fun saying that?" Solaris asked.
"Most likely." Foxglove answered. Suddenly Joshi grabbed Solaris by the wrist and put a sharp nail to her throat.
"Do anything to me and the foxgirl gets it!" he said. Solaris drew up a leg and stomped on his foot, forcing him to release her. Then she kicked him in the most painful place possible. As he drew up on the floor in pain, she rejoined the group. The rest of the company (who had converged outside of the tent) gave up right then and there.
"Well, all's well that ends well. Tomorrow, you can go look at houses. Heck, we'll even cover the costs!" Koenma said later, grinning madly.
"Don't bother. I'm sure Miss Independent would rather go home." Solaris said cattily about Foxglove.
"Solaris..." Foxglove laughed, "Surely you aren't still mad about earlier?"
"Oh yes I am." Solaris said in a tone that would even freeze ice.
"Well, I should have known. Let me just put it this way: why go back to the Makai when, one, our old home was demolished, and two, I could live with one of the people I like best?"
"Hiei, I'll bet." Solaris said.
"No, you! Hiei's just a very good bonus." Foxglove smiled. Solaris grinned back.
"We already found a house, Koenma. We can move in tomorrow." Solaris smiled.
"Hey, what about school?" Yusuke asked.
"Well, I can go to Meiou easily. It's just a short bus ride away. And Foxglove wanted to attend Tokyo High." Solaris explained.
"No, how? In case you haven't realized, you're fox girls!" Yusuke exclaimed.
"Well, I can look human, no problem. I was always better at spells like that. And Tokyo High is uniform optional, so Foxglove can wear jeans and the like, cover her tail with a shawl, and hold her ears down with a headband. See? Simple." Solaris shrugged.

Just in case I didn't translate it earlier, "Ame" means "Rain".
