Chapter 13

Korien had fallen asleep almost instantly after Yusuke had pulled her up onto his back. It was a silent walk home, and Yusuke was on high alert for anyone else.

"Master, it seems as though the little princess is getting stronger," A shrewd voice called out

"Indeed, nothing less of her. It seems as though the queen's reincarnation is turning out to be quite formidable. Good little Korien, you keep getting stronger, you will be even more valuable to me. Gohei failed me..."

"Master, allow me to rid you of the detective and his team. Without them she is hopeless, she wouldn't be able to heal her wounds as quickly"

"In good time, I want to see her recover, you can kill her at her peak, anything else is disgusting. Remember, I want her alive, just alive enough for me to have pleasure with her," Rekan's voice chuckled

"Yes Master"

"I could due without her clothing too, just bring me her tainted flesh"

"I will await your orders' sir," The soldier stood up and vanished into the darkness

Rekan turned and looked back at his monitor with a smirk "I cannot wait to taste your beautiful chastity. That mortal only tainted our human flesh, oh but your demon flesh, is still so pristine," He laughed "I will have you fire queen...I will"

Yusuke walked in the door at a quarter past eleven. He struggled to get his shoes off by the door, and he let the bloody jacket sink to the floor in a messy heap. He looked around quietly, tiptoing over the many toys Higue had left on the floor in the kitchen and into the living room. In the living room Kurama was sitting down in the dark, Yusuke was so startled he almost dropped poor Korien.

"What the hell is your deal sitting in the dark?" Yusuke hissed in the shadows, resting Korien on the couch.

"What happened to her?" Kurama asked quietly, his fingers laced, resting below his nose, his eyes shut as he waited for a reasonable answer.

Yusuke looked down at her. "Gohei, one of Rekan's first henchmen attacked us tonight. He had lightning powers and high speed. She was burned a few times, and stabbed in the side with an energy lance. It isn't enough to kill her."

"I see. Well, you could at least honestly tell us where you're taking her. If we ever needed to come to her aid, and you lie, we won't know where to go," Kurama spoke quietly

"If you wanted to find us, you knew we'd both be on radar. You use that arm tattoo to your advantage. You being a demon, it's your own tracking system, yours and Rekan's," Yusuke spat back quietly stroking the side of her cheek. "Anyway, I'm going to bed. She just needs rest. I checked out the lance stab, it wasn't as deep as we both had anticipated," Yusuke changed topics looking at her. "Should I move her Kurama?"

"No, that's quite all right. I'll do it for you. Go to sleep Yusuke. We'll talk about the rest of this tomorrow. I want a full detail of the demon in the morning," Kurama told him quietly, a hint of irritation that Yusuke obviously ignored as he strolled out of the room.

Kurama lifted up Korien, she seemed to get lighter and more limp as the days went on, he carried her to her room. It was troubling. She was getting lighter, skinnier, but not necessarily weaker. She wasn't fat to begin with or anything, he was beginning to wonder if the angel arm on her shoulder was making her deteriorate from the inside. He pulled aside the blankets and sheets and slid Korien underneath them after pulling off her shoes. Kurama smiled as he watched her sleep, she looked so much more at ease when she was in the comfort of her dreams. Kurama stayed beside her the whole night, stroking her cheek from time to time. Kurama did eventually fall asleep, and when he woke up at three in the following morning, he rose and left the room. Kurama did have other obligations to fulfill unfortunately.

Hiei slept outside her room that night, like he did every night. When the sun rose, and he saw Kurama leave, he hopped through her window and stepped inside. He was so anxious when she wasn't around. He was constantly pacing and running across town for no reason. He walked over to the bed and stroked the side of her cheek. With no response from Korien, he locked her bedroom door and sat down on the edge of the bed. He wasn't sure why he locked the door, but it seemed whenever he did try to talk to Korien, he was interrupted by Yusuke or Kurama.

"Hiei..." Korien's soft voice whispered.

Hiei spun his head around to look at her. Was she awake? Had he woken her up? On the bed he scrambled over to her, walking on all fours, hovering over her as he looked down at her face. Apparently Korien was just dreaming, and he let out a soft sigh. He felt drawn to her face again, and he was still staring at her. The exhale of his breath was like a breeze against Korien's face, and slowly she opened up her eyes.

Hiei was a little embarrassed, but he found he wasn't moving away from her. Korien gazed up at him, and he wanted to say something to her bit he simply just stared back. He opened his mouth to say anything, Korien instead pushed herself up and pressed her lips against his long and hard. Hiei's eyes opened wide with surprise, but the feel of her lips and her warm presence caused his worries to melt away. He closed his eyes softly and wrapped an arm around Korien's waist, pulling her closer. They held their kiss for a long time, until they finally broke away to breathe. Hiei was still looking at her as she laid herself back down on the bed.

"Good morning to you too," he told her lightly. A smile formed at the corners of his lips, a genuine peaceful smile.

"Hiei..." she called his name again, and his lips returned to her as he leaned down towards her. Hiei no longer hovered above her, but instead just laid atop her and the blankets, kissing her quietly. Korien squirmed beneath him, throwing the covers off beneath Hiei. Now their clothes separated them, but the boundaries didn't feel nearly as thick. Hiei cuffed the back of her head in his hand and pulled her close to him, and her hands worked their way up his chest, undoing the top button to his cloak and shirt.

"Korien..." he moaned for when their lips broke away. Her hands moved fast for him, the intimacy of this getting deeper and deeper as Hiei felt himself going under and being lost in it all. He knew now, more than ever, that he loved her. All those times they had spoken, even if childish, or sarcastic, he had always felt something for her. Today, confirmed his suspicions. "Korien..."He called to her again, she stopped to stare up at his beautiful eyes, "I love you..." he told her softly.

She smiled, "I've always loved you," she told him. Her hands and long since finished unbuttoning his shirt and slipping it off of him, letting it sag to the floor. Hiei realized now, that he was on the bottom and Korien was on top of him. Her lips brushed against his lips, following his jaw bone down to his neck and chest. Hiei moaned again, he'd never felt this excitement before, but he knew he didn't want it to end. Hiei felt his desires pumping though him, ecstacy, hormones, lust, he flipped her over so he returned to being on the top again.

Shivers flew up Korien's spine as Hiei started to kiss her navel, rolling up her shirt inch by inch, avoiding her wound on her left side, the kisses grew warmer and higher until he reached her bra. Without a moment's thought or hesitation he unlatched her bra, leaving her clothes to slip onto the floor. His mouth found one of her breasts and he nibbled at it, her body now seeming even more beautiful and developed from the first time they had met. Korien moaned pleasurably and her hand ran through his spiky hair. He continued his erotic callings until he finally grew tired and stared up at her face. His eyes were soft, the one's she'd always been able to see.

"Hiei..." She whispered to him again. He rested his head against her chest and she wrapped her arms around him. "Would you like to play a game Hiei?" She asked him seductively

"A game?" he asked dazed, he was still feeling stimulated from earlier. "Alright..."

"I'll ask you some questions, yes or no questions, and for every answer I see fit, you'll get a prize," she told him, nuzzling her face against his hair as she nipped at his ear.

"I think I'll like this," Hiei replied, falling lame to her seducing.

"Do you love me Hiei?" She asked him gently

"Yes," He answered.

She kissed his lips long and hard, her tongue slipping into his mouth, caressing and teasing every edge and boundary. When she pulled away, she smiled again "Do you feel lust?" She asked him again is a whisper.

"Yes..." he moaned quietly. Korien's hand reached down to his member and rubbed him mischievously, Hiei's eyes widened, but Korien's only had a glint of fun and naughtiness

"Do you want all of me?" She asked again, still teasing his member with long strokes.

"God yes..." he moaned again barely ably to contain his moans to whispers. Korien started to rub him harder, he could feel an erection starting to form within him.

"Have you ever done or felt this before Hiei?" She asked him nibbling at his chin

"No..." he was starting to sweat, her tempting was making it to his breaking point. Satisfied with his answers she rubbed her whole torso against him erotically. He kissed her passionately feeling his erection growing out of control.

"Do you love me?" She asked again"Yes..." he moaned again. She smiled again fully-satisfied, pressing her torso against him fiercely. "Then make love to me..." She told him finally, pulling off her own skirt and silk underwear from the night before. Hiei let out a sharp breath in awe, he never would have imagined they would've gotten this far. He slid off his black pants and boxers, and for a moment, he just rested against her naked body. They fit together so perfectly as they rested, her skin so smooth and perfect. "Hiei..." She called again with a naughty voice. He grinned looking at her, running his hand through her hair.

"You are a very bad yasha," he told her chuckling. Yasha meaning female demon

"Am I really?" She asked raising an eyebrow. Hiei just smiled at her again, falling lame to her all over again. "Well Hiei, the winner get's his prize,"

Censored

Korien's hair was messy spread across her shoulders, sweat sticking to the both of them when they had finished. Hiei beside her was panting lightly, but staring at his beautiful mate he smiled again. "Korien..." he whispered to her.

"Hiei..."She called to him softly. Hiei brought her to his chest, wrapping his arms around her waist and she cuddling against him. Her lips met his just once more, and together they fell asleep, exhausted and happy.

A few hours later the two lovers woke back up. They spent a few moments just absorbing the comfort of the other being beside them. Korien pointed out it was eight in the morning, and Hiei was usually up and about by six. He let out his usual grumpy 'Hn' and she laughed kissing him lightly. She slid out of bed, and from behind Hiei draped his cloak over her. He sat in bed, the covers covering him just enough as Korien tiptoed over to the closet. She opened the doors and sorted through her clothes asking Hiei which one he liked. Hiei preferred her bare, but he ended up telling her to wear a black long sleeved shirt with a rose in the bottom corner and a pair of low black slacks. Hiei dressed himself too while Korien began to make the bed. She could still remembering perfectly what had happened hours ago and she folded the sheets and she couldn't help but smile. She stood back up and Hiei was standing in the center of the room watching her. She wandered up to him and he ran his hand along the side of her face.

"Hello to you too handsome," She whispered quietly pecking his cheek.

"We shall not tell them about what happened..." He told her lightly returning a warm kiss

"Of course...we wouldn't want that trouble in the house now," She smiled at him tenderly. They shared one last kiss and Korien wandered to the door. "It will be our little secret," Her voice sent chills up Hiei's spine again, and she smiled exiting through her door. Hiei exited through the window to destroy any suspicions.

Korien hurried down the stairs into the den and found Kuwabara with Higue. Hige hugged her frantically and she sat with him for a good while before Kuwabara asked about what had happened to her last night.

"Gohei was the first and weakest of the demons, I'm worried what the other's will be like," Korien told Kuwabara gently, stroking Higue's head.

"Do you know how many there are Korien?" Kuwabara asked rubbing his chin

"No, I don't unfortunately. Thankfully this time my wounds were minimal, if this keeps going on though I'm afraid I will be one large living scar."

"Nah, I don't so. You have Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, and me watching out for you. Not to mention you have the support of all our friends, like Kayko and Shizuru. I'm sure things will work out for you."

"Thanks Kuwabara, at least someone can believe in me."

"You know, you should believe in yourself more. Don't let what your father or what anyone else said about you go to your heart," Kuwabara frowned lightly "I know it hurts, but everyone has the potential to do something great. Everyone might think I'm an idiot, but I'm still a vital member to this team."

"Yeah, as our bait," Yusuke knocked back at him sarcastically knocking Kuwabara in the side of the head before sitting down on the couch.

"Hey Urameshi why'd you go and do that? Korien and I were having a good conversation!"Kuwabara rubbed the back of his head where a large bump had appeared.

"You were being an idiot again," Yusuke told him irritated

"Yusuke you be nice! Kuwabara and I were having a very nice conversation, and he gave me some great advice. You should treat your friends better," Korien told him with a frown. "He has a lot of wonderful things to say, you should listen instead of branding him with cruel titles"

Yusuke and Kuwabara, who were both midway through pounding each other stopped and looked at Korien. Kuwabara grinned "See! You should listen to her more often and me too!" Kuwabara smiled triumphantly, Yusuke with an irritated frown.

"Well, it seems you two are busy," Kurama entered the room looking at them. "Yusuke I wanted to ask you about the monster you faced last night."

"Umm hello, I was the one who defeated it remember?" Korien waved a hand trying to get Kurama's attention.

"Yes, forgive me, it would be smarter to go to the source of who actually fought him," Kurama sat down next to Korien and Higue. "So, what can you tell me about him?"

"Well, Gohei was about your height, maybe an inch or two more. He had bright red hair, spiked sort of like Hiei's," Korien gestured with her hands "He had weird body scars in blue, it reminded me of the angel arm in a sort. Shirtless, with warrior styled clothes. Gohei could shoot lightning bolts from his palms, and he was extremely fast. The speed worked in both offense and defense. With bolts that are so fast, they're almost impossible to dodge, that's why people get struck by them from time to time. I basically shot him in the palm, then the leg, then the forehead," She whispered the last one, feeling guilty for killing.

"Well, it seems you weren't hasty in your defeat. You thought the plan out and found his weaknesses, that was very smart of you. I'm sure Yusuke would just have blasted him to bits instead of saving energy," Kurama smiled and Yusuke growled.

"Hey! That's not fair, she still got hurt anyway!" Yusuke grumbled

"She's also never fought a villain before. As I recall, with your first demon Botan had to come and save you," Kurama interjected with a smirk. Korien giggled.

"Hey! I had just come back from the dead!" Yusuke growled again

"He's just kidding Yusuke, I was lucky," Korien told him. Yusuke stopped being angry and calmed down, sitting cross-legged on the floor.

"So what do we do now Kurama? We have no idea when another one of those demons will be back to take a crack at Korien," Kuwabara asked quietly, playing with Higue who still squirmed in Korien's lap.

"For now, I recommend you rest Korien. Tomorrow you have to go to Gen Kai's dojo up in the mountains. She said something about the air being better for you, that is a three day trip for you. She says you have to come alone, she doesn't want the 'idiots' distracting you," Kurama chuckled.

"Three days with grandma, that sounds like fun," Korien moaned stretching her tattooed arm in a rotating circle. "I think I'm going to start breakfast," She looked down at Higue "Would you like to help mommy make some yummies?"

"Uffins!" Higue screamed happily

"Sure, we'll make some muffins," Korien smiled allowing Higue to crawl onto her shoulders as she carried him.

"Mommy fun weeee! I love mommy!" Higue giggled waving his arms in joy

"And mommy loves you too Higue...mommy loves you too..." Korien told him gently, "and mommy's going to be around for a long time and watch you grow up," Korien carried him out into the other room to start cooking.

"We hope Korien...we all hope it..." Kuwabara whispered quietly
