CHAPTER 8

SCENTS GONE WILD

review:

Yusuke greeted her silently. "yusuke? you dont look too well" She looked around, "Have you seen hiei?"

Yusuke sighed, "No i havent..." He said.

"er..are you sure, i know you your not acting right..."

Yusuke looked at her and laughed, "What do you mean?"

Botan poked him, "I dont know" She said..."i wish hiei were here..." she said softly, yusuke looked at her,

"What?"

"ohoh! Nothing! Nothing at all yusuke silly me just blabbering my mouth offf like usuall you know me purrrrrrr" Yusuke looked at her and sighed.

A few days later, Both Yusuke and Botan hopped onto the train for there journey home. Botan had asked Yusuke why Hiei hadnt been seen for days, but yusuke just sighed and told her hiei had decided to go ahead and go home by foot. Botan nodded and had left it just like that but she couldnt help but to think about hiei. How warm his body carressed hers that night...she cringed, it wasnt anything passionate...just hiei losing control of himself right? Hiei couldnt possibly have had any feelings for her...he was just lying she knew it. The only thing talking was the lustfilled Hiei who wasnt himself...all the stuff he told her, wasnt true...she kept replaying those thoughts in her mind all trip. Yusuke, being lazy slept all trip.

When they arrived back home, Yusuke and Botan were going to head to reikai to report the case the toddler had given them. But Yusuke told botan she should go and do it, so he can catch up on things they all missed while they were gone. But really...Yusuke was actually going to look around for Hiei.

Botan flew off to the reikai on her oar slowely, thinking about the flying shadow they have come to know as Hiei.

Meanwhile, yusuke was running around. He went to the park and looked in every tree possible, hoping to find hiei. when all hope was lost, he went to the red headed kuramas house.

At the door, Yusuke was greeted by Shiori, Kuramas human mother. "Hello, may i help you?" it didnt suprise Yusuke one bit that kurama loved her so much...she was truely an inocent kind woman who cared for all. Yusuke put on his cute act. "Yes, Ms.-" uh oh...what was kuramas human name?...he paused as he let the name come back to him and continued. "Ms. Minamino, i was looking for your son kur-Shuichi, is he available?" Oh god, this was horrible. Yusuke being polite and cute acting was NOT right...trust me, it was pretty scary, but a smile spread on her lips. She heard of Yusuke through the obituaries, reading the article in the paper about local gangs and everything, but it didnt seem to phase her. she could tell Yusuke wasnt a bad kid as he makes people think, she welcomed him to come inside while she retrieved her son.

Yusuke looked around, he wished he had such a kind home to walk into...everything was neatly arranged and kept clean. Yusuke chuckled when he saw one table setting fully attired with elegant plants that were heavonly gorgous. A gift to Shiori from Kurama no dought.

When the red head appeared in the doorway in front of him, He stood back up. Kuramas mother offered a cup of tea to the both of them, but kurama declined. "Thank you mother..." He said in the most polite way ever. ", but me and my friend here will be going to my room to discuss certain school matters." Kuramas voice sounded happy, kind...

Yusuke nodded, "He is going to tutor me in some school subjects" He had to make somthing up...i mean, Discuss certain school matters? Why not just say tutor? Kurama smirked and excused himseld and yusuke from the living room, guiding yusuke upstairs to his room.

Inside, Yusuke looked around. "Jeez Kurama, got enough stuff?" Spread around the room, there were shelves of glass figurines. Of foxes of course. there were remarkable carved crystal roses on one shelf. The walls were painted a light red with silver border paper near the cieling.

Kurama chuckled, "Ive always been interested in foxes, even before i regained my past memory Yusuke" he said. "Now then, what is it you came here for? Its hard to believe its for studying" he chuckled again.

Yusuke sighed, "Its about Hiei" He said.

Imediatly Kuramas eyes widened with full interest at hearing what yusuke had to say.

"I think something happened on the case we were just on, He said something about him vanishing and crap, i was wondering if youve heard from him?" yusuke seemed a lil worried. after all, the group of tantei had been through alot together and they were now close friends, he couldnt help but to be worried.

Kurama nodded, 'I see..., I wish i could help, but im afraid i havent heard from him since you two left for the case" He said. "i would have been proud to tell you his location if i only knew" he added.

Yusuke sighed once more. "heh, THanks anyways," he said walking off, "I better get going and look more" Yusuke exited the room, kurama sitting on the edge of his bed watching as he sensed yusukes aura leave the house.

"You know, they really are worried about you...Hiei" Kurama smirked. just then a shadowy koorime entered the room through the window. "Hn" was his only response, with his 'Who care?s' attitude.

Hiei walked over and slumped down on the bed, he layed down facing the cieling. "Just, how long ago were you sitting in the windowsill Hiei?" Kurama asked, of course hiei was there the whole time masking his aura so he couldnt be seen.

"Kurama, I cant go back" He said, "Im dishonorable to myself and the entire demon race" he explained.

Kurama raised an eye brow. "how so?" he asked.

Hiei knew kurama was the only one he could trust, but he wouldnt go into detail. "Baka Onna, she should have gotten away" he said, kurama could sense where he was going at. From the time Hiei had entered the room, he could smell hieis scent was different...the scent of peonys followed hieis blending in. even then, hieis scent had changed dramatically. "You and Botan had...?" kurama was uncomfortable finishing his sentance. Hiei snapped, "Shut it Kurama, i didnt mean to, i lost control of myself" he grunted...kurama sat hiei up forcefully, suprising him as he placed hiei on his lap and rubbed hieis leg close to hiei's member. Dont get me wrong, this was indeed a kawaii act between the two friends but not anything special... Hiei darted from his lap. "what in the three worlds do you think your doing fox!" he shouted. Kurama regained complete concousness, "i-im entirely sorry Hiei! I dont know what came over me!" Hiei grunted and jumped out the window vanishing once more.

"Damnit" kurama mumbled under his breath.

hehe was that short enough XDDDD j/k im busy with stuff, computer is going to die soon XX anyhows heres this chappy finally...

for pple confused about the whole kurama touching hiei thing...what happened was, Hiei smelled like a matured demon and it messed up kuramas senses somehow. Botans scent was mixed in too so his senses got confused even more, and he was unable to determine Hiei as being a male as well because of botans scent...but youll find out why botans scent mixed up kuramas mind in upcomming chappys, untill then R&R!
