Hey everyone I'm back, sorry if this chapter is a little odd, it has NOT been a good day for me as a few of you might know. Anyway as always I'll try my best because I feel somewhat positive about this story. (Oh yeah if anyone wants to know just for future reference RUE IS GOING TO KILL ME! Uhhh he is REALLY going to like hurt me SO bad tomorrow!)

Also this chapter, the part that I previewed to all of you yesterday might not come out exactly like that since I have to write this down in a notebook first then transfer it all over.

Anyway now I REALLY SUCK at keeping track of all my reviews from both stories so I'm just going to thank EVERYONE for reviewing to me! See I know who you are I just don't know exactly what story you reviewed to so yeah…lol I'm so unorganized.

NOW onto the story!

Chapter 21 YAY I'm past 20 and still not really at the plot isn't this great!

It was the next morning and Ash allowed herself to sleep in late since Hiei had worked her almost to death with training. But it all paid off as now she could summon fire whenever she wanted and in whatever form she wanted.

She took a quick shower and got ready for her day. She didn't grab any breakfast but only walked into the living room where Hiei sat. (At the window of coarse.)

"Morning Hiei." She said sitting in the revolving blue chair that sat next to the window.

"Morning." (Wow way out of character, but what can I say, he likes the girl.)

"Where's Kurama, he's usually p by now?" She asked

"He said he was going out and he'd be back later."

"Didn't you ask where he was going? You're the one who said we should have our guard up." Hiei had to admit she had a point.

"No, but this is Kurama." He stopped mid-sentence and sighed, "The Fox that wouldn't kill let alone hurt without Koenma's saying."

"Why is that so hard doe you to say?"

He just looked at her but didn't answer her.

"Are you going to answer me?" Ash asked leaning forward.

"No." He replied back. "Fine I'm going to go make breakfast, you want anything?" He shook his head slightly and Ash went into the kitchen.

It wasn't until about three o clock that Ash was starting to get a little worried, "Can't you see where he is?" She finally asked. Hiei just starred obviously confused but then got what she was asking.

He sighed and took off his headband to reveal a slit in his forehead. He closed both his eyes and slowly the slit started to open reveling the Jagan eye Kurama had spoken of.

Ash felt ad odd sensation when it fully opened, she looked mesmerized by it and the power she felt coming from it. Hiei opened his regular crimson eye's and slowly the Jagan closed then he redid the headband.

"He blocked me somehow." Ash shook herself out of her dazed way and realized what he said. "Can he do that?"

"No that's what surprises me his human mind refuses him from doing so, the only way he could is if he…"

"What?"

"If he turned into Yoko, but that's against the laws." He seemed lost in thought.

"Then I guess all we can do is wait." She said with a huff turning back to the T.V

Hour Later

'I'm so bored' Ash thought walking down the hall for the fifth time, then a small noise caught Ash's now delicate ears and she could feel Kurama's energy, although it was small.

She walked out past the now empty living room and opened the front door. "Oh my Gosh Kurama!" Ash said cupping her mouth as she saw a bloody version of Kurama leaning on the door.

"Hiei!" Ash called walking a little from the door. He appeared right beside her. "What?" Ash was frantic for a moment and had to quickly collect herself.

"Kurama he he's…" But before she could finish Hiei had already spotted his best friend, leaning on the outside wall. He was bloody everywhere and his breathing was very uneven.

"Kurama what happened to you?" Hiei asked looking his friend up and down. It took a moment for him to answer but he finally did. "Ash I am so sorry I couldn't stop." Before he fell to the floor.

"Oh no!" She said going over and leaning over. "Hiei what do we do?" (She sounds so bad I know.)

"What did you mean Fox?" Ash gapped at Hiei's statement. But it didn't matter it seemed he couldn't talk no matter how much he tried.

"Stupid fox." Hiei said in almost a whisper but flinging his arm around Kurama then stood up. He disappeared form view leaving Ash to look around deeply confused.

(If anyone has a better way of stating 'then he disappeared' or 'then he flittered away.' I just feel so stupid when I write that so please send better words to use.)

'Follow the energy.' Cam Hiei's voice in her head, she did as told and ran down the hall and into the room defined as Kurama's, how she knew this? Little pots full of plants lay everywhere.

She spotted Kurama laying on his bed, now looking like he was sleeping. "Is he alright?" She asked.

"Yes, unless there was something I couldn't find." Hiei said sitting in the corner.

"How did you do it so quickly?"

"Sometimes it pays to be a Koorime?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm half Koorime therefore I picked up their healing ability." Ash smiled at least she knew her friend would be all right.

It didn't take more then twenty minutes for Kurama to awaken from his sleep. "He sat up quickly and looked around. "How did I get here?" He asked. "Hiei brought you." Ash said leaning on the wall, "Thank you Hiei." "Hn." He replied.

"Kurama I have to ask what did you mean earlier?" Ash asked
