Chapter 2: Butterfly, Butterfly won't you please try to fly? .

Next morning...

Kurama and Sakaura woke up to Hiei running around the house picking up broken glass and flowers scattered everywhere.. Kurama came downstairs pretty fast and looked around after he heard the clinking of broken glass...
"What in the world happened down here?" Kurama said surprised at the changes of the first floor.
Hiei smirked and said in a sarcastic tone, "Looks like your little girlfriend was tracked."
"She's not my girlfriend and do you have any idea who did this?" Kurama said sounding annoyed.
Sakaura came downstairs and looked around, she was shocked.

"What happened?" Sakaura asked staring at Hiei and Kurama.
"Why don't you tell us?" Hiei replied taking a step towards her.

Kurama kicked Hiei's shin again and spoke,

"Go up to the attic and have a look around. There are some interesting things up there that you might want to look at, we'll call you when breakfast is done" He said with a reassuring smile..
"Um.. Okay." Sakaura said as she turned around and headed up the stairs to a small ladder that was in the middle of the hall.

Ten minutes later...

"AAAHHHHHHHHH WHERE IN THE SEVEN HELLS IS MY DAMN LOCKET!" Sakaura screamed from the attic.
Hiei and Kurama actually flinched upon hearing her shout like that and went running up the stairs to her.. They almost ran into her as she came down the attic stairs in a hurry.. "Whats wrong Sakaura?" Kurama asked, he ran up the stairs so fast that it seemed he forgot about the eggs frying on the stove and was covered in orange juice.

"I can't find my locket anywhere! Hiei do you have it!" Sakaura said trying to calm herself down.
"Why the hell would I have your locket?" Hiei calmly said, "It's of no use to me."

"Because.. Because I showed it to you and that was the last time I saw it!" Sakaura responded, trying to hold back tears.. "Why are you making a fuss about a stupid locket anyways?" Hiei said annoyed. "Sarah gave me the locket before she ran away and I haven't seen her since." Sakaura said bursting into tears. "Its ok we will help you find your locket..." Kurama said hugging her to make her feel better.

"It's not okay! I lost the locket my sister gave me." Sakaura said crying on Kurama's shoulder. Kurama picked her up, brought her into the living room and sat down with her in his lap. "Don't worry Sakaura we will find your locket If it kills us." Kurama said as he smiled an odd smile and ran his fingers through Sakaura's hair. "Oh gods Kurama if you are gonna do that go in your room." Hiei said almost laughing. "Hiei shut up at least I care about her!" Kurama said
Sakaura's eyes widened a little and she blushed.
Hiei then went back to the kitchen to deal with the havoc that had been caused by Sakaura's screaming.

Meanwhile elsewhere several hours later...

There was a loud knocking on the door and a gruff voice of a man was heard "You there Butterfly?"
There was no response so the man knocked again leaned on the door when suddenly the door opened and he fell into the room, a raven haired girl with dark cold blue eyes stared down at him..

She had plates of armor which were colored black and the bodysuit it was on was a light blue color, on each of her sides were swords strapped to her hips. One had a black handle with a white moon in it and the other had a white handle with a black crescent moon in it and a dagger next to her left sword that had a small black dragon on it, a friend had given it to her long ago... She had loved him dearly but was only able to show it by getting a tattoo of a butterfly on her right hand and even after that it was an unspoken thing...

Then she had to move and never got to say she loved him...

"Butterfly? Butterfly'd you fly away?" The man said now standing in front of her trying to get her attention...

She slapped him then whispered, "What are my orders now? I've broken into the lighthouse and found nothing of interest or anything that your boss would like."

The man smiled a somewhat evil grin and shoved her backwards, she hit a chair and almost flipped over it but ended up jumping and flipping over the man.. When she landed her hands went to her swords... The man's grin grew wider and he spoke...
"Relax now little butterfly I know where your family is now so if you make a move we don't like you might be very sorry."
She growled and hit the wall... "What are my damn orders.. I want them and I want you out now." She said with rage..

"Looks like I hit a nerve Butterfly.. We need you to assassinate the red-head who runs the rose shop in town and the smartass that lives with him." He replied with a smirk.. At that time a locket chose to fall from around her neck because the clasp had broken... The man moved too fast and grabbed it before she could...

"What's this little butterfly? Trying to hide something from us that might be of use?" He said as he tried to open it... Eventually he got it open and saw that it was a picture of two children, one who looked exactly like the woman who stood before him. She growled again and he threw the locket out of an open window she disappeared and reappeared with the locket...
"Don't do that ever again or I'll rip your fucking arms off and feed them to you while I pour salt in your wounds and rub lemons in your eyes and then I'll burn what's left of you alive , jackass." She said, now she seemed more cat-like...

"Now, now watch your mouth. Kill them and we'll leave you alone." The man said and with that he disappeared and the girl locked the door back.. "Sis I'm so sorry I'm putting you in danger... I'll protect you... I won't let them hurt you..." She said staring at the open locket...A lonetear ran down her face and she laughed a little and said "Sakaura's such a worrier she's probably freaking out right now..."

'Sarah... Sarah Yamaguchi.. My given name that I no longer take...' She thought to herself..
'Don't worry Sakaura... I saw you last night and when I make my appearance tonight I'll take you away shortly after and train you to be an assassin... I hope you don't value those two as good friends or you might not like me anymore when I'm through...'
Sarah put the locket in a coat and switched into some regular clothes... She put the dagger in her pocket and put on her coat then looked out the window, opened the door a bit and looked around seeing that no one was there she ran out the door, it slammed shut behind her and locked itself...

Twenty minutes later...

"Sakaura do you want anything to eat?" Kurama asked. "No I'm fine thanks." she replied. "Sakaura you should really eat." Kurama said with worry in his voice. "No really I'm not hungry." Sakaura replied kind of annoyed. "Alright then" Kurama said as he sat next to Sakaura on the couch and hugged her. Sakaura hugged him back. "Kurama did you mean it when you said you cared about me?" Sakaura asked. "Of course I did." Kurama said with surprise in his voice. "Sakaura... I think love you" Kurama said as he gazed into her eyes. "I think love you too, Kurama" Sakaura said as their lips met.
It was the most wonderful thing ever to happen to Sakaura, it was her first kiss and Kurama made it so enjoyable that she never wanted it to end but they had to breathe so he broke the kiss.
Suddenly there was a knocking on the door and Hiei made a loud groaning noise then a loud thud, Kurama stood up and rushed to the doorway to find a comatose Hiei lying on the floor and a strange girl that looked sort of like Sakaura with a locket dangling from her hand standing in the doorway..

"Whats wrong with him? I knocked on the door and he took one look at me and passed out." She said innocently.
Sakaura came into the room and shrieked "Sarah?"

Kurama froze and Sarah nodded and held the locket out to her as she leaned against the door frame. "Well are you going to take the damn locket or do I have to throw it at you?" Sarah said with an annoyed tone of voice. Sakaura took a step in Sarah's direction and held out her hand to take the locket. "What are you afraid of me or something?" Sarah said as she gave the locket to Sakaura. "No I just find it very strange that my sister shows up at a house that nobody knows I'm staying at and gives me my locket that disappears mysteriously the night before." Sakaura said with suspicion in her voice. "Oh I saw you when you ran away from that hell house." Sarah lied. "Whats going on here? Did I miss something?" Hiei said as he woke up. Suddenly Sarah pushed Sakaura to the side, drew her swords and went after Kurama with them. Kurama put up a barrier that sent Sarah flying. "Sarah what are you doing?" Sakaura shouted. Kurama ran to Sakaura to see if she was okay.

"Sakaura are you alright?" He said with concern.

"KURAMA MOVE!" Sakaura screamed as she pushed Kurama out of the way of one of Sarah's attacks and getting stabbed in the stomach.

"NO SAKAURA!" All three of them shouted at the same time. Sakaura fell to the floor and clutched her stomach where she had been stabbed. Sarah stood there with a look of shock on her face. "Oh my god, Sakaura what have I done?" Sarah said in almost a whisper.
"You... Bitch...She's your sister... She's your fucking sister..." Kurama said kneeling down next to Sakaura, her blood soaked his pants. "I didn't mean to...I.. I'm so sorry..." Sarah said with her voice cracking. "Go away bitch or we just might have to kill someone tonight." Hiei said in a calm yet threatening tone.

"No... I refuse to leave her...I've worked too hard for this... I... I won't stand for this again!" She screamed as she rammed her sword into the sheath, it flew off, and then it seemed Sarah was falling apart at the seams, she fell to her knees and put her hand on Sakaura's wound and Kurama snapped at her, "Don't touch her"
"She's my sister.. I can do what I want... Besides my magic abilities are stronger than any thieving fox's are" Sarah shot back at Kurama with a grimace.

"Just shut up and get it over with Sarah because within five minutes you won't be awake." Kurama said pointing to Hiei and a dagger, "One more argument and you'll get a dagger in your back despite our history."
Sarah didn't say anything; she put her hands on Sakaura's wound and her hands began to glow as Sakaura's wound stopped bleeding. Sakaura made a noise and grabbed Kurama's hand and passed out as Sarah collapsed from using too much energy..

An hour later...

Sakaura woke up to find Kurama sleeping on a chair next to his bed.

"Kurama..? Kurama where is Sarah?" Sakaura said in a gravelly tone of voice. "Huh? Sakaura you're awake. How are you feeling?" Kurama said as he put a hand on Sakaura's forehead. "I'm fine Kurama my stomach hurts but its nothing I can't bare. Where is Sarah?" Sakaura said in a worried tone of voice. "She's downstairs with Hiei." Kurama replied. Sakaura tired to sit up only to be pushed down gently by Kurama. "Stay down Sakaura if you don't your wound will open and you'll start to bleed again." Kurama said with a look of concern in his eyes. "I want to see my sister!" Sakaura said grimacing and whispering because of the pain. "You can see her in a little while just rest for now alright." Kurama said as he brushed some hair out of Sakaura's face. "Alright I give up." Sakaura said sighing.

Downstairs...

"So you knew I was here all along?"

"Yes Sarah I did know but I never expected you to find us... And then there's the fact that you came here ready to kill us both.." Hiei said giving her a look of frustration...

"I'm so sorry... The people I'm working for give me assignments and threaten to take what's left of my life if I don't follow through... When they gave me a file with Kurama's name on it I couldn't believe it was the one and the same until I saw the picture... You weren't on it but they said to go ahead and take you out as well..." Sarah explained.
Hiei raised an eyebrow and fingered Sarah's sword which he had pulled out of it's sheath when she had collapsed. "Would you have listened to them if Sakaura had not put her own life at stake?"
"I don't know... I figured that since she was here I would slay Kurama and if possible you and take her and train her to be a hunter like myself since I kno-.."

"Enough.. I don't want to hear it. If you were going to kill us before then what's stopping you from trying again? Nothing, that's what, you would try to kill us again if given the chance. You were always determined in your training as a teenager and would do anything you were told to do."
"I wouldn't have killed you! I wouldn't have alright!"
"Why should I believe you, why should I take your word for it."
"Because goddamnit you blind bat I love you!" Sarah yelled..

She stood up and snatched her sword away from Hiei so he'd look her in the eye.

"..."

"Say something damnit..."

"I...don't...know...what...to...say..." Hiei looked away instead..
"I understand... You don't love me... That's why you won't say anything.. Kurama told me long ago but I guess if it was true it was just a mere childhood crush.."

"No... Sarah it isn't like that... Please don't be angry.." Hiei looked down trying to avoid her eyes..
"Angry! How could I not be angry... I paid close attention before you and I separated and you showed your affection... Now you're a bitter cold demon j-just like your father!"
