The cold breeze hit Hiei's bare chest, waking him up. He rolled over on his back, wondering where Moira went. He slowly got up looking up to see the sun hit the horizon. The color of the sunrise seemed to be bloody. He roughly put his clothes back on and looked around once more; Moira was no where to be seen. At least not for two of his eyes, but he did have one eye that might help him. His Jagan eye began to glow a deep red color beneath his bandana. Slowly he found who was looking for, and started toward where she was. When he found her, she was fully clothed and curled over onto her side like a vulnerable cat. He longed to take her again, but did not disturb her sleeping form. She began to mumble in her sleep. Hiei only caught a few words she said.
"Stop...leave me alone...get off of me...this isn't right..."
Hiei could visualize what she was dreaming and was beginning to feel guilt well up in him. Perhaps she wouldn't be dreaming of being raped if he hadn't had sex with her last night. He sat next to her and pulled her quivering form into his arms. Moira gave a sigh, as she began to relax in Hiei's embrace and she slowly opened her eyes. Hiei kissed her neck and looked down at her, "Why did you get up in the middle of the night to come here?"
"I didn't want to wake you with my petty nightmares." She buried her face in his chest as if protesting about greeting the new day, but not wanting to go back to sleep.
"Hn. If you woke me, I'd probably kill you." Hiei replied with his grotesque encouragement. Moira finally stood up and brushed the dry grass off her clothes. Hiei watched her as she stretched cat-like and he stood up as well. Even though his heart pounded when he was here with her, he felt like something was going on without him and he didn't like that at all.

Koenma sat back in his chair, waiting as Botan showed in three out of four of Yusuke's team. "What do ya want pacifier- breath?" Yusuke replied yawning.
Koenma seemed irritated at this, but decided to ignore it. "Have you ever heard of Tharian?" The question was directed to everyone, but Kurama nodded as Koenma looked at him.
"Yes. Selenay has told me once or twice about him. He is said to be prime minister of a demon world organization. His powers are unknown and he is obssessed with death, though he tends to defy it. Selenay told me Tharian was Rinji's older brother, who had more power than Rinji, but disappeared when Spirit World took him captive." Kurama's eyes locked with Koenma's knowing, as always, something was up.
"Oh hurry up all ready. I need to go home and feed my cat, and Urameshi is not morning person, so if he falls asleep standing up I'm gonna leave him here. Where is the shorty anyway? Isn't Hiei suppose to be here?" Kuwabara started his ranting and gave Yusuke a side-glance.
Yusuke crossed his arms, "I won't fall asleep if you shut your trap and let pacifier-breath talk because, at this rate, we won't be getting out of here til we grow old."
Kuwabara turned around and grabbed Yusuke by the collar, "Want to run that by me again Urameshi!?"
"Sure I said --"
"Oh! Will you to stop it and let Koenma talk!" Botan yelled at the two and they both looked at her and then at each other and started arguing again. "Why do I even bother?" Botan said in exasperation.
All Kurama did was glance at the two arguing teens and they quickly stopped and looked at Koenma. Koenma gave a sigh and resumed his speech. "Well, we thought Tharian was dead, but it seemed he some how escaped death's jaws again." Koenma folded his arms against his chest, "The demon that Hiei had brought over with him to human world has something to do with Tharian, but we aren't sure what."
"You're suspecting she's a spy." Kurama said it more in a statement than a question, "And if Hiei knew, he would pick one of two options. Either he would kill her or he'd protect her. That's why you didn't want Hiei here as well."
Koenma gave a nod, "Well...sort of. We aren't quite sure what she is as of yet, but yes. That is why Hiei is not here."
"Thats why I don't like the little squirt! He's more unpredictable than air in a balloon!" Kuwabara put in his two cents.
"What do you want us to do it, toddler?" Yusuke asked, getting antsy.
"Nothing at the moment. Figure out some way to keep an eye on Moira and see if you can find out anything of Tharian. I'll have Botan report back to you if I find anything." Koenma replied and watched as all of them nodded and walked off. He notice a strange look in Kurama's green eyes.
--------------------------------------
Kurama stood waist deep in the hotspring, contemplating on the things that would come to pass if Moira was a spy of some sort. He can sense other auras then percieved that one was coming closer to him while the other three remained stationary. He turned around a serious look on his face, as he feared the worst. The serious look on his melted away into a look of relief as he realized who it was.
Her fox ears protruded from her head, and her reddish-brown hair fell over her shoulders. She waded into the hotspring with a thin towel around her, and took Kurama by the arm, looking into his emerald eyes with her gold eyes. "Something ails you. I could sense and it dragged me from my students. Please tell me what it is."
Kurama remembered that she taught three demon students self-defense -with Koenma's consent- to kill the time between the days in human world. He kissed her forehead, embracing her. Her soft form was pressed against his bare chest. The only thing that kept her naked body from him, was the towel around her. "Don't worry about me. Its nothing really."
Selenay's fox ears flattened worriedly against her head, "How can I not worry when you are like this? Please tell me what has upset you so." Her eyes met his and her eyes held worry for him still. Holding him at arm length, she ran her hands up and down his upper arm, as if unsure of how to comfort him.
Kurama could only nod and told her of Moira and Hiei and the situation Koenma just brought up, "If she is a spy then, I don't want Hiei to suffer the sacrifice of a lost love." Kurama replied, not looking at her. Kurama knew how that felt, but only felt that agony temporarily. "Do you think you can-" He was cut off by Selenay's kiss and she finished the question for him.
"-get into Moira's dreams? No. I have to meet the person first. Besides, it was easier for me to get into your dream because I had a bond with you." She looked away her ears flattened sadly against her head and then her wet tail swishy soggily in the water, as she looked back at him. "I know. Lets spar, that way you can work off all your tension." Kurama opened his mouth to protest but she kissed him to stop his protest. Kurama grinned to himself. Selenay would go to the extremes to shut him up without being too rude. Selenay smiled a she pulled back, and looked at him. "You won't hurt me. I know you all too well. Besides, it would do my students good to see a good spar. Just don't use you rosewhip, okay?"
