Ochita: I got this idea and I couldn't resist. Though weather I should put down OC or Kokuryuu is rather difficult considering I don't own this character...not that anyone has made the dragon a 'character' but...I just don't own anyone of the Yuyu Hakusho cast. Here is another ongoing story by a girl with a twisted mind very muchly so.
Custody
Hiei sat there with an extremely annoyed look on his face. First Koenma called him in and of course he'd said 'no' but the dumb bratty toddler just had to use his criminal record and the fact that he wanted out of Ningenkai against him. Finally George came out and, scared half to death of the fire apparition, announced that Koenma could see him. Hiei walked passed the blue ogre without so much as a glance and entered the office where the toddler sat at his desk looking over some papers.
"Ah, Hiei, you're here!"
"I've been here for the past half hour you moron." Snorted the demon with the bad disposition.
"Oh well...Has anyone informed you of why I called you here?"
"If they had I probably wouldn't be standing in front of you idiot."
"Right...well...ah..." Koenma searched for words, which was pretty hard considering that the demon across from him was giving him a death glare and keeping his hand very close to his katana. Koenma gulped then continued, "I'm going to have you take care of a demon...well it isn't really a demon but it sort of is...anyway you'll be taking care of it for me because it's causing a riot and I think you're the only one who could keep it in check as well as some other...choice qualities you have."
"No."
"Do you want to go back to prison?"
"I worked that off a long time ago."
"Do you want me to let you through the kakai barrier so you can get home?"
"..." Hiei couldn't really say anything to that. He supposedly hadn't earned the privilege of going back home. Back home to the wonderful smell of rotting corpses and blood.
"Good now that we have it settled you will take care of this demon?"
"Will you let me home if I do?"
"Hai."
"How long do I have to take care of it for?" He grumbled out.
"A couple of months 4 at the most." Koenma replied.
Hiei let the idea roll around in his head for a while then asked, "Why do I have to take care of it. Why can't you just get your detective to do it?"
"Because...you are somewhat acquainted with this demon." Koenma answered picking his words carefully.
"So ka? I don't recall coming past a demon I haven't killed besides the kitsune." Hiei stated flatly, the curiosity in his eyes shown plainly though.
"Well no, you don't really know it but in a sense you do." Koenma smiled.
Hiei's eyes sharpened at the toddler making said subject's breath catch in his throat. When it came to testing Hiei the saying, 'Playing with fire' had a whole new meaning.
"This demon's skill level?" Hiei knew perfectly well that if it was just babysitting some dumb D level demon he would have given the job to the detective. Not that Hiei was in anyway more powerful than Yusuke but there did happen to be a responsibility factor. A characteristic the hanyo lacked.
Koenma shifted uncomfortably and said, "The demon has promised not to terrorize anyone as long as it's let out."
"You didn't answer my question." Hiei growled.
Koenma muttered something.
"Nani?" Hiei asked flatly.
"An S class demon if you must know." Koenma really wasn't in a good mood about this and what he said had shocked the demon across from him judging by the widening of his garnet eyes.
"You don't seriously-"
"I just need a little time away from dealing with it so please just do this Hiei. It...well...isn't your average S class demon...it...wants to get away from...Look all that matters is your agreement to this." Koenma sighed.
Hiei mused over the idea for about a minute and deciding that he wouldn't get another offer like this, to actually go back to Makai, he chose, "Hai."
"Goodsignrighthere." Koenma spit out hastily and slid a peace of paper over to Hiei, sticking a pen in his hand.
Hiei began reading through this odd contract but Koenma stopped him, "I have an important appointment so, time being of the essence, just sign."
Hiei glared at him a bit but then signed.
"Right then, Jaganshi Hiei you now hold custody over the S class demon Kokuryuu." Koenma speed read the statement as if it were customary and stamped it with his seal.
Hiei stared for a moment off into space. He really thought his ears had just failed him.
Tell me he did not just say that I would be taking care of the Dragon of the Darkness flame.
"Now, Kokuryuu will be arriving at Kurama's house shortly, I advise you to go and meet it."
"Are you out of your mind?" Hiei snarled.
"No, besides which you seem to handle the demon well and considering that it did fuse a piece of its soul into your arm allowing you to summon it has gotten you out of many a bad situation, I think you sort of owe it."
"I owe this demon nothing!"
"It wouldn't matter, if you break this contract I have the right to throw you back into a Rekai prison." Koenma stated calmly.
Inside Hiei's mind he raged at what had just been done. He wanted so badly to kill the damn toddler. Knowing that he couldn't or he'd get into a shit-load of trouble he spun around and stormed out the door. How could he have let this happen?
How could I just sign my own contract with death?
Kurama sat on the couch staring up at his friend.
"Tell me again, just exactly how you ended up holding custody of the Dragon of the Darkness flame and why exactly it is coming over to my house?" although slightly horrified with the idea the fox couldn't possibly pass up the opportunity to increase his friends agitation. Hiei could be so amusing sometimes. At the moment said fire demon was pacing in front of Kurama.
"Shut up fox! You're not helping! What the hell am I supposed to do with that thing and how the hell am I supposed to hide in from all the ningen people in this damn country?" He snapped.
Kurama knew were this was going, "You're not leaving me to take care of your pet dragon. I will not house it. I have to draw the line somewhere."
Hiei glowered at him. He'd been hoping the red head would give in due to his soft heart but apparently that wasn't about to happen. He didn't know what to do.
How could the toddler just hand me an S class demon and say 'keep it in ningenkai'? What the hell has he got that's so important that he can't take care of the matter right now?
Just then Kurama and Hiei both felt a ki far past anyone they'd ever encountered before. The fox's sharp ears picked up a gentle tapping at the door. Hiei put his hand on the hilt of his sword and his friend had his hand up in his hair, removing the rose and getting ready to strike in anything unpleasant happened. Slowly both made it to the door and, seeing as it was Kurama's house he answered it. What he saw surprised him immensely.
There. Please review very muchly so. I'll be very sad if no one does T-T.
