Its chapter 4 now, it took a while to finish this one because I sort of ran out of ideas for a while…XP Oh well, here it is, chapter 4!
"You jerk!" Ume hit Hiei on the back of his head and the wolf she was talking to earlier looked up. "How can you possibly think about leaving me here!"
"Aren't you going to stay with your family now that you've finally found them?" he said, facing the door, rubbing his head, not willing to face Ume.
"Nope, I've decided not to, they can handle themselves just fine but you guys on the other hand…"
"What ever you say." He said sounding half relived and half unfeeling.
"That was very cute." The wolf demon spoke up.
"What the, how are you speaking, wolf?" Hiei questioned.
"I may look like a wolf, but I'm a demon, and I can speak your language just fine."
"Then why didn't you say so before?" Ume asked confused.
"You all assumed I couldn't speak, so why ruin the fun?"
"This gives me a pretty good reason to leave." Ume said staring at Hiei, pointing to the wolf.
They quietly left Makai, trying not to be noticed. When jumped through the break in the barrier they fell on top of Shuichi carrying the unconscious Kami.
The two scrambled up to their feet and Ume apologized for landing on top of the two. She then saw Kami unconscious.
"Wow, what happened to her?"
"A lot has happened but I'll explain later. Right now we should get her to my house, it's the closest."
"Really…alright, but Hiei and I will carry her, you look beat and besides, Hiei did get a pretty long nap." She looked at Hiei.
"Hn. I'd rather not."
"Ok, I'LL carry her…"
After walking a few blocks they finally arrived at the apartment that Shuichi and his mother lived in.
"I…thought…you said your house…was the closet…" she said breathlessly, nearly collapsing.
"You were the one who volunteered to help out." Hiei retorted.
Shuichi unlocked the door to his and let the group inside.
"So spill Kurama," she then noticed Kurama's 'mother' was in the next room. "Uh…Shuichi. What happened to you two?"
"What about you guys?"
They exchanged the events of their long night.
"Shuichi, it's getting late, are your friends staying over tonight?" Shuichi's mother asked.
"I think so Mother."
She nodded and went to bed.
"So Kitsune (meaning fox. It's Hiei's nickname for Kurama a lot of people use in FanFics), why would demons be after this human?"
"I'm hoping to get some answers to that when she wakes up, when ever that will be."
Ume was once again having that strange feeling in the pit of her stomach. The feeling that something was seriously wrong (see story 1, chapter 4 for more info).
Hiei and Kurama crowded over Kami and Ume suddenly felt like kicking Kami out the window, along with Hiei but she resisted the urge to do so.
"Argh…if you guys don't mind, I'm going to sleep. Kurama, ya got any extra pillows and blankets lying around this place?"
"I'm sleeping going to get rest too. Oh, and don't bother getting pillows for me, I've slept without them before."
"Well in that case, I'm going to take a walk outside."
"I'll come too, if those demons were after her, there are sure to be more and I doubt you can handle it alone. I'll stand guard outside."
"Maybe you should be protecting her. Ya know what? You go do that for all I care, I'm just going to sleep after all…"
"Huh?"
"Good night you two."
"Wait a second, get back here girl!" Hiei ran after Ume as she stomped out of the room angrily.
Shuichi was alone in a room with Kami unconscious. He stepped back slightly.
"Heh, how ridiculous. What am I getting so flustered about?" he laughed at himself.
He looked over his shoulder and saw Kami on HIS bed, sleeping. She suddenly started stirring. Kami woke up and saw Kurama.
"Shuichi…what happened? Where am I?"
"Don't you remember?" he said, trying to stay calm. "You blacked out after I…we escaped from the…uh…gangsters that were chasing you."
"Gangsters…?" Kami then remember what REALLY had happened. She knew Shuichi was lying, but she couldn't figure out for what reason.
"Does he know about what happened to me? I sure hope not. I'll just go along with his charade until this whole thing is forgotten." She thought to herself.
"Oh, is that all that happened?"
"Yes, it was. They cut you a few times. See?" he pointed to some bandages that covered some cuts on her arms, legs, and one on her shoulder.
"Who put this bandage on my shoulder?"
"That was Ume, don't worry, Hiei and I were in the other room while Ume and my mother were putting bandages on you."
"Oh, thank goodness."
It was strangely quiet for a while, Kurama was about to leave when Kami spoke up again.
"I do remember one thing though, it was you who helped me when the 'gangsters' were after me right? I just wanted to say thanks."
"Like I said before, I was happy to do it." He smiled.
The conversation was interrupted by Ume and Hiei bursting through the door.
"Get back here! I thought you were going outside so I offered to go along! Why are you being so annoyed!" Hiei yelled.
"I'm annoyed because you won't get off my back!"
"Argh, get back here! I'm not done talking yet."
They circled the room once and left, still screaming.
"It's getting late, we should turn in. I'll sleep on the couch tonight."
"No, wait, I'm a guest, you should sleep on your bed."
"I don't mind."
"Oh, ok. What about those two? Are they going to hurt each other?"
"No, they fight from time to time, it never gets bloody. It's just their way of communicating."
"Oh, that's very strange."
"Well, they make a good couple that way. Oh, don't tell Hiei I said that. I'm going to turn in now. Good night Kami."
"Good night Shuichi."
Tee hee, Kami and Kurama make such a kawaii (cute) couple. Hiei and Ume is a kawaii couple too. It's so adorable making them fight and make up. Hehehe. :runs away laughing:
