"Did you even think about what I would say about having some outside girl in my home?" Genkai asked Kurama, not sounding too happy of course. "And she's supposedly Hiei's daughter? That worries me even more!"

"Please Genkai, she has to stay with us for the time being," Kurama explained. "Besides, we have to find out where she came from. I mean there's no way she's actually his daughter."

By the look on Kurama's face, Genkai suspected he had some doubt. She did resemble him greatly, and was at an equal level of strength… Things weren't looking to good so far.

"Um… excuse me?" Hiromi stepped in. "Which room will I be staying in?"

Genkai looked away from the girl. Kurama wasn't sure if that was out of attitude or… just because she couldn't handle the huge resemblance between her and Hiei. Kurama began to gnaw on one of his fingernails…

"I'm afraid you'll all have to stay at a hotel if it's going to be like this," Genkai finally spoke. "There isn't enough room in my home, unless you'd rather stay and share with one of the boy's.

Hiromi gave a face telling both Kurama and Genkai that she disapproved of the idea. (It was a mix of fear and disgust.) Kurama nodded and decided they would all stay at the nearest hotel in town. The girl went back to her serious look, explaining she didn't like humans but she understood it was there only option. She took the offer. Kurama couldn't help but frown. Hiei and she have something else in common. They both hated humans. Like they needed another thing to relate the two.

Kurama told Hiromi to wait outside while he and the others packed up their things. As soon as she was out of sight, Kurama went looking for Yusuke. Meanwhile, Hiei had finally decided to come back after punching some anger out. (Let's just say half of Genkai's forest was now gone.) Noticing his so called daughter sitting on the front steps, he snuck into the main room from the open window on the other side of the house. There was no way he was going to face her again after what happened the first time they met. (Just for reminders, he tried to kill her but failed.) He leaned himself against the wall and let himself fall to the floor. Kurama was actually going to let her stay? Why? What was the point? There was no way she was really his daughter. He had never even considered finding a mate, nor having children. He shuddered at the thought. Hiei suddenly went pale at his next though… Does Kurama think that she really IS his daughter..?

Finally, Kurama found Yusuke and Kuwabara in the kitchen playing Rock, paper scissors. He couldn't help but sweatdrop at the sight. Deciding to ignore it, he walked up to there table and placed a hand on Yusuke's shoulder. Yusuke looked back at Kurama after making his hand in the form of a rock. Kuwabara twitched when he realized he lost even with Yusuke getting distracted.

"What's up Kurama?" Yusuke asked, giving a confused look to him.

"Yusuke, may I have a word with you for a few minutes?" Kurama replied with another question.

"Hey, aren't you not aloud to answer a question with a question?" Kuwabara asked not getting what they had said to one another. The other two sweatdropped.

"Not if the 2nd question answers the 1st one moron." Yusuke answered intelligently. Yusuke got up from his chair and left with Kurama shouting back, "Be back in a few minutes, and be ready to lose some more when I get back!"

Kuwabara started shouting random words that Yusuke couldn't hear from where the two were now standing, Yusuke just ignored them. "So what wrong Kurama?"

"I need you to do me a favour." Kurama responded.

"What!" Yusuke yelled, not being able to control himself. "Hold on a minute. Aren't I usually the one who ask's YOU a favour? Not the other way around?"

Kurama just sighed. He really hated doing this. It couldn't be helped though.

"Please Yusuke!" Kurama said in a serious tone.

Yusuke looked him in the eye. "Ok, what?"

Kurama took in a deep breath. Yusuke started to get a little worried. He hadn't seen Kurama act this way in a while. It must be bad…

"I need you too…" Kurama paused. "…look after Kuwabara for a while."

As soon as Kurama finished, Yusuke's face met with the floors. He couldn't believe what he had heard.

"I know it's a lot to ask but I-," Kurama couldn't finish. Yusuke cut him of with his yelling.

"What the hell Kurama?" Yusuke shouted at him. "That's it? That's not a life threatening task!"

Kurama blinked a few times in confusion before realizing he was a little to dramatic for Yusuke. Kurama gave an uneasy grin. "Let me start from the beginning so you'll understand…"

So Kurama told Yusuke the whole story about Hitomi and Hiei. Yusuke was in complete shock… or at least he was for about a second. After that he burst out laughing and kept going for the next two minute. Kurama gave an "Ahem" and Yusuke stopped. He was probably still laughing on the inside though…

"Ohhh," Yusuke grinned. "I get it, you don't want Kuwabara to see Hiei's kid. No prob, I'll take care of him."

"Remember," Kurama repeated. "Were not sure if it's true, they lookthe same age so it's technically I'm possible. She looks more like another sister than a daughter."

"Maybe he got drunk when he was a kid?" Yusuke suggested, like the perv that he somewhat is. Kurama whacked him on the head for even thinking that was the case. It was to late though, he actually considered it as an explanation for all of this…

Hitomi got up from where she was sitting, she never liked to be kept waiting. She turned to enter the house only to have someone else open the door and walk right into her. Both of them fell back from the collision. Hitomi looked up only to see Kurama getting up off the ground.

"I'm sorry," Kurama said, reaching a hand. "Let me help you up."

She looked at his hand, feeling a sense of déjà vu on her part. (Last time it was her who was offering the hand to Kurama.) She took it just the same. He explained to her that everyone had been informed, including Hiei who he had found on the roof of the house that they were leaving for the Marriot Hotel. (That's an actual hotel, I couldn't think of a better name so I borrowed it.) She nodded, but when she did she noticed he had a cut on his right arm. When she asked him what had happened he explained that Hiei had done it because he was angry he was considering her to really be his daughter. Hitomi, who was shocked at first, after began to laugh. Not an evil or cold laugh, but a normal, warm laugh. Kurama froze that moment. She apparently had the ability to feel emotions, maybe even love. She and Hiei did have some differences, along with equality. That was a relief. He couldn't help but see something else about her though, he just didn't know what it was…

She stopped laughing after a minute and apologized for her rudeness. Kurama didn't say anything back, he couldn't. He was too stunned. She gave his a questioning look then asked if they were leaving now. He quickly snapped out of his state and nod. He picked up his things and they left. Kurama began to worry about how Yusuke was going to keep Kuwabara away from Hitomi when they were both going to be in the same Hotel room. He also began to worry about how Hiei would handle staying with her also…
