Kurama: ...I wish I was with them.
RDK: You've hurt my feelings! That's it! I'm making a Kurama/Koenma. I didn't want to do it, but you made me.
Kurama: sweadrops crap...
RDK: On with the fic! writes Kurama/Koenma really fast
Kurama: OO;

Kurama: sweatdrops that's pathetic...
RDK: growls and continues writing the Kurama/Koenma
Kurama: yelps
Ruby, Hiei, Kurama, and Kai all walked back into the forest, both dragons leading. Kurama and Hiei kept silent for reasons quite obvious. One, this might be the only silence in seeing their loved ones, and two, they didn't want to be attacked again.
Finally, deep within the forest, Ruby and Kai stopped, turning around to face the demons. They had walked so far into the brush, that no light passed through the canopy. The dim darkness made it so almost no one knew of where they were.
"I have a feeling that you want to see our alpha for a personal reason." Ruby huffed, folding her arms.
The two demons were paralized by how cold Ruby was acting towards them. It was as if they were regular intruders.
"Yes. Spirit World has issues with him." Kurama answered, equaling his eyes to match Ruby's intensity.
"Ruby, stop your stares!" Kai snapped in a warnful tone.
Ruby huffed, folding her arms.
"I'm sorry, but she has to keep up a front. You see,Chi-Li, Ruby and I flew to this island a long time ago, and had finally found dragons to live with. We became part of the clan and learned of the islands secrets... and of the alpha male. It seems he's planning something demonic up in one of those towers..."
"...but Mother's the only one allowed in the correct tower." Ruby interupted.
Kurama gasped, remembering Hiei's info on who was allowed in the alpha male's chambers. Kai blushed and looked away from her mate, partly ashamed.
"Kai-san... you're not..." Kurama started.
"When the three of us became popular around the island, the alpha male became interested in me. He said he reminded me of a past lover he had and offered to be his alpha female... of course, I refused, but..."
"I understand. You're posing as his mate to get information." Hiei added.
Ruby nodded.
"Kai's his favorite, and I'm his head guard. I have to keep sharp... any dragon could spy and snitch, especially since we're talking to you, Hiei."
"Why?" He asked.
Kai sighed. "It seems that our leader has a very deep grudge against you, for some reason. I still haven't got that out of him."
Kurama then remembered the orange mating moon in the sky last night. He remembered the two dragons he saw and turned pale. Kai saw his expression change.
"Kai-san, did you... mate with this Leader?"
Kai once again blushed and Ruby chuckled.
"We went far, but I'm not going to be another mother..."
Color returned to Kurama's face and it was Hiei's turn to ask a question.
"What is the name of your leader?" Hiei asked, putting his hands in his trench coat.
Ruby's and Kai's eyes widen, keeping their mouths shut.
"Even though we are deep within the forest and out of hearing range, I'm afraid that our pride is keeping us from telling our alpha's name. Only I may say his real name." Kai stated.
Kurama's eyes narrowed. "Do not become too passionate about this secret mission, Kai-san. I know that you are among your own people, and I'm happy from you, but you must remember..."
The fox was silenced by a heavenly kiss from his mate. Kurama closed his eyes instantly, pulling the dragon closer to him. Ruby smiled slightly to see her parents being together, but was glad when they parted... because she was beginning to think up ideas for her and Hiei.
"I'll never forget my true love, Yo-kun. You don't have to worry, but I can't tell you his name. The only thing we can help you with is to guide you into the oak doors and nothing more. After that you're on your own."
Suddenly, Hiei stepped forward, looking serious.
"Where's Chi-Li? Is she in the fortress?"
Ruby shook her head.
"She's somewhere in the forest as a scouter. She's a spy in the forest to watch over activity. As far as we know, she could be watching us right now."
"I am." A voice chuckled.
The two demons watched as the last female dragon came into their sites. Chi-Li had changed out of her human form and permanately crossed into a dragon. Her black hair ran to her shoulders as sharp aqua eyes peirced through the banes. Blue dragons wings folded against her back as her body was covered in ancient armor.
"Kurama, Hiei. I'm surprise. You should be dead right about now. Ruby, why aren't they dead?"
Ruby giggled at the little tease, but Hiei was not finished with his questions.
"I've heard tales about the different moons that hit this island. What are they about?"
Chi-Li stopped giggling with Ruby to answer.
"I think that it would be more fun for you to find out by yourself. All I can say is that an orange moon shall be in the sky tonight. Maybe us girls will come from our post to meet you guys out here in the forest."
Kurama blushed, but kept it firm.
"When do you plan to rush us up to the fortress?" He asked.
Kai looked up at the towers, sighing.
"Under the right moon. A yellow moon. It is then that the conditions will be right and we can hide you into the fortress. But I must warn you again, Yo-kun. Once we get you in, you're on your own."
"We respect our leader too much to go against him. Hell, maybe you'll catch some action in the fortress as well..." Ruby stated, adding a hint in her voice.
"Arigato girls." Kurama stated as he started to leave.
Kai and Chi-Li also started to go separate ways, but the three of them found one of their compainions missing by their side. They saw Hiei and Ruby, looking at each other deeply. They made the descision to leave the fire demon and mutt alone and dissapeared into the forest.
Ruby then made the thrust into her mate's arms. She started to sob silently as Hiei held her lovingly, savoring the missed warmth.
"Oh, Hiei. I've missed you some much. It hurt me to have to attack you like that... but I couldn't blow my cover... nor do I want to be another outcast. But, it feels so good to be in your arms once more... especially since you're taller than me now."
Hiei chuckled as he started to stroke Ruby's long, silky hair... stopping at the waist and tail. Ruby could feel the demonic heat coming from his palms, groaning as Hiei drew her open lips to his. They stayed locked in their light battle until Ruby parted, her wings opening slightly.
"Save your energy for the orange moon tonight." Ruby growled, trancing the fire demon's jaw slightly.
Hiei then looked at the ground with shame. When the orange moon glowed upon him, he would turn into his disgusting, several-eyed form. Some times, he envied Kurama for the beautiful form he took when he was his strongest.
Ruby gasped slightly, wondering what Hiei was now thinking of that would pave a frown upon his gorgeous face. She craddled his cheek softly so his beautiful blood-reds looked her in the orange jewels.
"What's wrong, koi? Have I upset you?"
Hiei held Ruby's hand on his cheek, sighing.
"You shall never upset me, Ruby, but I fear that if I did court you on tonight's orange moon, my form would be an eye sore... literally." He frowned as his Jagan eye glowed from behind the white headband.
Ruby gasped, for she never knew that Hiei had such a form that could tear away his beauty. Suddenly, she touched the headband where the eye was and took a glimps of what Hiei's most powerful form was. When she released her hand she gasped, then started to laugh.
Hiei was taken. "Might I ask is so funny?"
"That form of yours is what you think is your most powerful form, but on an orange moon, if you believe that the form that you're in now is your best, you won't change... thus, you'll stay sexy for me." Ruby purred, handling Hiei's face with both hands.
Hiei smirked as Ruby playfully rumbed their foreheads together. Someone had acturally corrected him for once.
"So, can you promise me that you will perform for me tonight?"
The fire demon nodded. "Hai..."
"I'm glad to hear it." Ruby whispered.
They sealed their promise with a kiss as deep as their first one they shared back in the NingenKai. They parted slowly as Hiei saw that they had been together way too long. Ruby pushed Hiei against a near-by tree and flew back to the fortress. Hiei watched her go, somewhat hurt from the harsh seperation. Still, he smiled warmly knowing that they would be together tonight...
And felt bad knowing that Kurama and Kai could not.
Inside the fortress
Kai walked through the brightly lit hallways of the demonically beautiful castle. As she walked up the correct tower, the stairway became dimmer with only tourches lighting the way. She sighed saddly knowing that tonight, she would share the alpha male's bed knowing that Yoko would be out there alone.
As Kai reached the oak door, her eyes twitched, thinking of what her ego and pride was doing to her dignity.
A voice came from behind the door, sounding deep and attractive, but cold and distant.
"Kai, you're late." it stated.
She sighed.
"I had to take care of some intruders."
"I don't believe you. The guards outside are fully capably of taking care of any demons. What were you really doing?"
Kai kept the same tone.
"I'm not lying to you. The intruders were strong enough that the guards needed my presense."
The voice was quiet, until a soft chuckle rang through the door.
"How could I not believe an excuse coming from such a beautiful source? Come in."
Kai waited until the doors unlocked and the room of her somewhat dreams was shone to her. Everytime she came in the room, she discoveried something new.
The chamber in itself was a sight for sore eyes. The smooth grey stone that the chamber was built from was covered with black silk that gave the room a canopy feel to it. Four tourches lit the room, giving it a mood setting glow. All around the room was soft white pillows stuffed with feathers and cotton. A king sized bed of a feather mattress showed against a wall, next to a window that was pratically built in a square, like a real castle, to let the moonlight in, but sunlight came through... for now. The bed was covered with blue saten sheets.
"Please, come join me. It will be night soon." The voice spoke from the bed.
Kai slited her eyes to the figure laying on the bed. He was dressed in black silken pants, showing off his toned chest. He ran a hand through his long black hair, which drove Kai to daze at his small, but deep, violet eyes that looked upon the dragoness with desire, lust, and maybe a hint of love. His black wings came from his back which folded against his lean, but muscular, back.
As Kai crawled into her temporary lover's arms, she whispered the name of the alpha male at last.
"I can't wait for the stars to come out... Karasu..."
All: KARASU!
RDK: Yep! Don't you remember him from the first story? He's the one who put Hiei in his place about dragons.
Kurama: now pissed at RDK
Hiei: whispers I don't think it was a good idea to put Kai in the arms of that sick demon.
RDK: This is the fic that I promised would be good to Karasu! I think that he's not as bad as the series made him out to be.
T.K.: He wanted Kurama to die because he loved him to much. I think Karasu is as bad as the series made him out to be.
RDK: Well, I'm making him semi-good! Dragons are good by heart... sometimes... so Karasu being a dragon -the alpha dragon- will be good for him.
Kurama: Still highly pissed at RDK
Flamer: ...It didn't work.
RDK: Crap... oh well, he'll get over it. Review in the mean time.
