Heylo peoples! I am SOOO SORRY for updating so late! -bows- Gomen-nasai! x.x;;; I really wanted to update sooner but I couldn't think of anything for this chapter since my stupid floppy disk wouldn't work. The last chapter I thought was a bit better; longer too. I finally got the other detectives in the story … besides being slaughtered in a dream. x.x;;; I hope I didn't disappoint anyone with how random it was. Not much happened, but I guess it was a transition in a way. If this chapter sucks, I'm sorry. I'm pretty much winging it.

DISCLAIMER: All of the YYH gang belong to Yoshihiro Togashi except for Ame. She is of my own creation.

TO MY REVIEWERS:

Whirlwind2417: Lol, yeah that came to my mind as well. Nope! I'm not abandoning you or this story! It's weird though. I started my Fullmetal Alchemist story just as a side thing, but I'm now into writing that than this. I hope I don't lose interest in this! Eek!

Fox-Forbidden-Child: Yeah, I suck when it comes to computers so … heh I basically screwed myself. XD At least I didn't lose too much writing.

Kitsunegirl504: Lol, wow. I'm happy you like my story! Because of some events, there were set backs about this chapter being done. I'm a lot better at updating my Fullmetal Alchemist story The Pain of Death and other FMA fanfic Numb No More has been posted. I hope you check those out as well.

Lady Tsuki no warrior: Lol, yeah I wasn't a yaoi-fan till three years ago thanks to some friends. x.x;;; Thanks, I tried my best on the lime scene.

Princess Of Kamui: I'm glad you like it so far. I'm really sorry for the long wait. Hmn, for someone who has English as their secondary language, you spell rather well!


If this chapter is a little weird, it's because it's 5:30am and I haven't worked on this in a while. So, please bare with me!


-Chapter Ten

Koenma's POV-

I watched as Hiei twitched nervously. I could tell it was really hurting him thinking he caused Kurama's pain. I sighed. Boy, he sure isn't going to be a happy fire demon when he hears what I have to tell him.

Might as well get I over with.

Clearing my throat with a small cough, I started to answer, "Hiei, do you know any enemies that Kurama might have?"

He looked quizzically at me. "No. All of his enemies thought he was killed by the hunter seventeen years ago.

"Hmn, I beg to differ. There is one person I can think of. Does the name Ame sound familiar to you?"

My only answer was when Hiei's eyes widened.

"Well," I started. "why don't you tell me more. There weren't many files on her."

Hiei turned his gaze to the ground. "I haven't seen her in a good hundred years. I guess you could call her my saviour. When I was just a kid, she took me in; gave me a place to call home. After a while, we began stealing together and became great partners; I would put my life into her hands without a second thought. She surely saved my sorry ass more than enough times. Then, when I was in my teenage years, we got rather close."

"You became lovers?" I asked.

Hiei nodded. "She was my first lover … and I hers. We thought we were going to become mates. But then a heist gone wrong caused us to separate. By the time we found each other, I was Kurama's partner. She was infuriated … though she tried to keep it hidden. She should of known that no one can hide anything from me."

I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to soak everything in. "So … she decided to take out her anger on Kurama. She hates him because you became his partner instead of looking for her."

He shrugged. "I suppose. I haven't spoken to her since that time."

"But tell me Hiei, what kind of demon is Ame? Obviously a powerful one to be able to injure someone in their dreams?"

Kurama's POV-

Sighing once more, I entered the room; sitting down next to Genkai. Without as much as a glance, she handed me a cup of tea; which I gladly took.

I was a little worried why Hiei was still outside with Koenma, but I know that I do not need to be worrying. Too bad that is a habit I shall always have.

"Yusuke, did you call Hiei and I over here merely because you were bored?" I inquired.

I was answered with a Cheshire cat grin.

"Yusuke, you are quite lucky that I am in a decent mood. Otherwise you would probably be a victim of my Death Tree," I stated quietly as I sipped my tea. I didn't look over, but I could of sworn I heard a gulp.

It's good that they still take my seriously.

Hiei's POV-

"But tell me Hiei, what kind of demon is Ame? Obviously a powerful one to be able to injure someone in their dreams?" the Prince of Death questioned me.

I smirked. "That's the question I wonder as well. She never told me what kind of demon she was. I could never figure it out since she was a mix. All that I know, is that she was born in the desert."

Koenma let out a small chuckle. "Damn, it's a bad clique of the Sand Man."

I laughed at that. "Yes, it is. I remember when I was growing up, I used to call her the Sand Man just to annoy her. But after awhile it didn't bug her; that disappointed me.

"It's as if you were siblings."

I nodded. "At first, we acted like it. But when I was grown, it changed."

"I know the feeling," Koenma commented.

I blinked, then smirked. "You and Botan?"

"N-Nani!" the Prince of Death stuttered, his cheeks burning red.

I snickered. "So, it's true. Kurama told me there was something between you two awhile ago but I didn't believe him. Are you two together yet?" I asked, straightening my face out.

Coughing, he tried to stop the blushing; of course he failed. "I don't know what you're talking about. But if you'll please not change the subject …"

I rolled my eyes.

What a liar.

"What else do you want to know?"

"How does she fight? What's her fighting strategy? Her strong and weak points?"

I shrugged. "Unfortunately, I forgot."

Koenma started at me with wide eyes. "You WHAT!"

"I haven't seen her in at least one-hundred years. Besides, I never really saw her fight. Whenever we went on a raid, we'd separate and then meet back up someone else. If I was in danger, she would save me; but I passed out most of the time. I do know that she is excellent in martial arts though."

"Well," he started with a sigh. "Right now, that's all we got. And we have to use that to our advantage somehow."

"She can enter someone's dreams from miles away … she just has to be in the same world."

"So, she's in Ningenkai?"

"Hai," I answered. "How she does it, I have no clue. She has no jagan like myself, but has always been able to do this attack."

"Damn …" Koenma muttered as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Well, let's go back inside before Kurama has a goes insane wondering what we're talking about."

I grinned. That's my fox.

A/N: I AM SOOOO SORRY FOR THE WAIT! I know this is rather short compared to the last chapter, but I was winging it as it was. And you guys REALLY deserve an update. I hope you will still read and review this story. My FMA fic is really coming along, with some help from Shinigami Akumu. She gave me a few ideas and helps me start my chapters. I don't know about you, but the beginning of the chapter is the hardest to write. I'll try to update more regularly!
