Jenna lay on the ground sleeping. Everyone had already turned in except for her and Hiei who was still perched on the windowsill. Jenna had fallen asleep while watching the TV. So Hiei just sat on the couch and changed the channel. Jenna instantly woke up and grabbed the remote. Hiei just glared at her. "Change it back." Jenna said angrily. Well as angry as a half asleep person can. "Hn. Baka onna." Hiei replied half-heartedly. Jenna just looked at him, but said nothing. Jenna tugged at the remote trying to pry it from Hiei's grasp. "Let go Hiei-chan," Jenna said not breaking eye contact with him. Hiei looked at her, not letting his grip loosen. 'She sounds cute when she- WOA! Baka fox its all his fault.' Hiei thought not noticing he had let the remote go while he was scolding himself. "Thank you Hiei-chan" Jenna said when she got the remote and changed the channel.

Jenna picked herself up and sat on the couch next to Hiei. She started to flip channels until she found one she wanted. Hiei sat there and hadn't noticed that he was starting at Jenna. Until of course Jenna turned to him "What is it?" She asked a bit annoyed. Hiei just 'Hn' and looked away. Jenna grabbed his chin and made him look at her. "What is it?" she demanded, more than a bit annoyed now. Hiei just snatched out of her grasped and glared. Jenna as fed up and shoved him off the couch. Then she started to walk up stairs but turned to see Hiei sprawled on the ground shock on his face. She snickered quietly to her self 'Finally! I feel a bit better now. Time to take a nice shower.' she thought walking up the stairs. When she got to her room she stopped and turned around.

She noticed Tsuki wasn't in her room. "Where could she be? Hmm maybe still out in the field." she thought out loud taking a step into her room. Just then she saw Tsuki walk up the stairs, but instead of her mask, Tsuki looked extremely upset. Jenna took a step out of Tsuki's room and tied to get to her own. She knew Tsuki would probably kill anyone on sight right now even her. Tsuki saw Jenna and smirked with a chilly voice she added," have fun with Hiei, Jenna??" but her smirk quickly disappeared when she heard people coming up the steps. Jenna turned to see who was walking up the stairs. It was Kurama and Hiei. Jenna ignored them and turned to Tsuki.

(Jenna hissed in Tsuki's mind) I don't know what happened to you but don't bring up such disgusting thoughts!

Jenna's happy feeling drained away as soon as she had heard Hiei's name.

--I wasn't suggesting anything, simply that Hiei looked funny laying on the floor------

With that Tsuki walked into her room, closing the door and putting up a barrier again she went to sleep. Jenna sighed and walked into her room as well 'I'm not apologizing this time. She needs to watch how she words things.' she thought as she went to get a shower. Kurama and Hiei just stood there in utter confusion. "Did something just happen?" Kurama asked. "Hn. Does it really matter?" was the only reply from Hiei before he too walked to his room. Kurama looked at Hiei's door to Jenna's to Tsuki's, sighing he went to his room. 'I wander what Yoko was so upset about? Tsuki said she loved us..................but she also said she wouldn't be with us. I wander if she would have this is over, whatever it is.' Thought Kurama as he lay down on his bed for some rest. Jenna laid in the bathtub soaking. 'What is with Tsuki? I've never seen her like this. Must have something do with Yoko and Kurama. I wonder what.....' she wondered but some how her thoughts wandered to Hiei 'Maybe I should apologize....I mean I did try to kill him. Grrr Of course so did he!' she sunk lower into the tub 'Man what's with me. I've never been so angry at someone nor felt as guilty. Wait GUILTY!?.....well a bit i guess. Maybe i should apologize. Then maybe I'll be able to get him out of my head and be able to focus again. Yeah that's what I'll do. Maybe he's still awake.' Jenna dunked her head and the came back up with a sigh. She stepped out of the tub getting dressed in a long black shirt and shorts.

She walked out of the bathroom that she and Tsuki were sharing when she saw no one was in the hall way. She calmly stepped out of the bathroom, and stretched her sense to find Hiei. She sensed Hiei was in his room. "I hope he's not asleep. I'd like to get this over now." she said to herself. She walled over to the room next to hers and knocked. "Hiei. It's Jenna. I need to talk to you." She heard a grunt within side; a second later Hiei was standing in the doorway. Hiei stared at her "Hn?" Jenna stared back, "I'm sorry," she apologized, turning to leave when she tripped on the carpet. Her eyes widened as she fell to the floor. Instead of feeling the carpet she felt arms around her. She blinked a few times until she notice Hiei was holding her in his arms!? Jenna felt her cheeks heat up not only from embarrassment but also because she was so close to Hiei. Hiei looked at her "Are you okay?". Jenna nodded still a bit flustered. "Baka onna. You call your self a demon tripping on the carpet?" Hiei said snickering a little. Jenna jumped out of his arms feeling a little regretful of doing so before she shot back at him "Grrr shut up Hiei!" She said and then stomped off to her room.

She flopped down onto her bed after shutting the door. 'Well so much for my apology.' she sighed and turned over thinking about how nice it felt in Hiei's arms. 'Nani!? Okay I definitely need some sleep.' she thought and then drifted off to sleep. Hiei just stood there 'Why did I do that? Though she did feel nice in my arms- AURGH!!! Where in the seven hells did that come from! I need to get away from her!' Hiei though fiercely as he headed door the hallway, to where the kitchen was. When he walked in he saw Tsuki sitting on the counter top, sipping, what smelled to be tea. Hiei looked at her, she looked back, "Want some tea Hiei?" she asked, seeing his disgusted she added "Its not that human shit, its herbal, the kind demons drink, but not medicine. Of you want some it's in that pot on the stove," finished telling him where and what the tea was, she took she mug and walked out. A few hours later Kurama walked down stairs yawning. "Good morning Hiei." he said rubbing his eyes. "Hn." responded Hiei. "Have you seen Tsuki?" "Don't know where she is right now." Hiei said while walking off to the windowsill. "Well I'll start on breakfast." Kurama said a bit solemnly while walking to the stove. When Kurama was about to yell 'breakfast is ready' Jenna came down the stairs. Looking around she noticed Tsuki wasn't there "Hey guys where's Tsuki??" she asked as she sat in one of the kitchen chairs.

Kurama smiled at Jenna "Not very sure. Would you mind finding her though? I don't think she wants to talk to me right now." Jenna just nodded and walked off to find Tsuki. After Jenna left Hiei came to the table and sat down where Jenna had once been. "Why wouldn't she want to talk to you? I thought you guys liked each other. Did you guys have a fight?" he asked Kurama. "No not really. I don't know. All I know is that she avoiding me...and I don't blame her Yoko acted pretty horrible yesterday." Kurama sighed placing his head on the table. Hiei didn't show it but inside he felt worried for Kurama and a bit angry with Tsuki for hurting him like this. Jenna looked around the house and tried to sense Tsuki but for some reason couldn't. She started to get worried so she tried to contact her using her telekinesis. She prayed that Tsuki still wasn't angry after last night and had dropped the shield.

Tsuki-chan? Where are you? It's time for breakfast.

But she got no answer. 'Damn it where is she?' Jenna thought, but heard a sound. Not just any sound it was the sound of a fight, a real one. 'Oh No!!! I hope its not him!' she thought as she ran back to the house to get Kurama and Hiei. Jenna ran back to find Hiei and Kurama eating "You guys. I think Tsuki is in trouble. I heard fighting!" Jenna said panting. Kurama instantly jumped up almost knocking Hiei down "Well let's go!" he yelled. Hiei got up and followed Jenna and Kurama who and already ran out. When they got to the battle Jenna almost shrieked, there stood the man that killed her family, and Tsuki was fighting him. "You die today Aemoh!!!!!" screamed Tsuki as she slash with her sword only to come back and whip him with an energy whip. 'Aemoh? But I thought that was her stepfather's name. But that's the man- wait are they the same? I mean its possible.' Thought Jenna as she unconsciously reached for her hidden swords. Kurama had long since changed into Yoko, and Hiei had his hands on his sword.

When Tsuki yelled, "Jenna they are the same the same man, Yoko Kurama and Hiei stay back!" as she dodged a fatal blow. Jenna just stood there for a second before she two joined the fight. Tsuki put her sword and whip away, and crossed her arms. They started to emit a strange aura when she jumped up and yelled "CRESCENT BLADES!!!" Two crescent moons back to back shot out heading straight for the man, or Aemoh. He dodged, but it still hit some of his arm. Transforming out of her human form and into her demon one, Tsuki cursed. While all this was going on Jenna was preparing for her attack. Suddenly she stood up and whispered "Mizu Tatsamaki." As she ran her swords across the ground, a water Tornado appeared and headed straight for Aemoh, hitting him dead in the back. He cried out and turned a disgusted face toward Jenna. "So I see you have grown up, eh girl?" he hissed, about to attack when he felt a cold piece of metal press against his neck. "DO NOT turn your back to me again, Aemoh." Sheathed Tsuki as she started to slit his throat.

He chuckled, as he thrusted his hands backward an into Tsuki stomach. Looking at him Tsuki fell to the ground. Yoko tried to run to her but found he couldn't, as did Hiei. "Don't, your wasting your energy, that's one of Tsuki's spells she made for me." Stated Jenna as she watched Tsuki jump back and land beside her. "Tsuki, your stomach..." started Jenna but Tsuki waved her off. "Not now, he comes first then my health. Jenna nodded and prepared to attack when, "It's been fun girls, but I must take my leave, we will finish this a another time," laughed Aemoh as he started to disappear. Tsuki and Jenna lunged. But he was already gone. "Damn." they both cursed. Suddenly Tsuki cried out and fell to the ground, blood pouring out from her stomach. The hole had gotten bigger, for it had been poisoned. Yoko rushed forward. He knelt next to Tsuki and began to heal her wound. Jenna stood on the other side of Tsuki about to bust with worry. Yoko finished healing Tsuki's stomach though the poison couldn't be removed as easy. Yoko picked her up "I can't remove the poison so we need to get her back." Tsuki was about to complain about Yoko carrying her but he interrupted her "Keep quiet. It'll be faster if I carry you because you wasted a good deal of your energy on that fight and we need to remove this poison as soon as possible." Tsuki sighed quietly and gave a slight nod. She was trying to keep conscience but was finding it quite hard to. She finally gave in and passed out in Yoko's arms. Yoko looked to Jenna and Hiei waiting for an answer or a nod but since no one was moving he decided to take Tsuki back now and sprinted off. Jenna knew she should have stayed with her friend but she couldn't seem to move. 'I can't believe he's back...............no............. no. ........No' She sank down on the ground shaking her head slightly trying to let the information of Aemoh's return. She remembered when he looked at her and said 'So I see you have grown up, eh girl?'. She cringed in disgust thinking about the glint she had seen in his eye. Hiei looked at her, debating on rather to comfort her or mock her weakness. For some reason, he just wanted to comfort her more. Reaching down he placed a hand on her shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze. Jenna looked up when she felt a hand on her shoulder seeing it was Hiei she, smiled at him placing her hand on his. They stood there for a while then Jenna stood up. Her eyes were watering but she wouldn't let her self-cry. Wiping off her tears she started to walk off but stopped and turned around to Hiei. "You coming? We need to see how Tsuki is doing." Hiei walked over to her and gave a 'Hn'. He was about to walk passed her when she gave him a kiss on the cheek "Thanks Hiei. You should be nice more often. It's not all that bad you know." Jenna gave him a small smile and then ran off back to Genkai's house. Hiei stared at her retreating figure in shock. 'Did she just............kiss me?! That onna just kissed me, and I liked it, her lips are- Whoa I have to stop thinking like that.' Hiei thought as he raced off after her. 'Or maybe not, I admit I do kind of like her. Ok, I do but she will never know.' He concluded.

With Tsuki and Yoko

Yoko arrived with the unconscious Tsuki and laid her on the couch. He left to get some healing herbs from his room when he was sure she was in a comfortable position. He came back down stairs and started to fix an antidote. Tsuki let out a groan as she started to regain consciousness. "So your waking up." said Yoko not even bothering to look at her. Tsuki looked at Yoko for a long time before every realizing it was he. "Yoko?" she croaked, as she tried to sit up. But Yoko pushed her down. "Lay down, I don't want the poise spreading." He order, Tsuki huffed, but did as she was told. 'I can heal myself, damn it!' she thought fiercely. Making sure her shield was back up, so he couldn't hear.

Yoko laughed "You must be thinking some awful things about me if you put back up your shield." Tsuki glared at him and then looked around "Where are Jenna and Hiei?" She asked. "They stayed behind for some reason. I would have asked but I needed to get you back here." he answered. 'Hn. That baka better be taking good care of Jenna or I'll murder him.' Then they heard the door open and close. Jenna walked into the room with Hiei close behind her. "How are you Tsuki-chan?" Jenna questioned after noticing that Tsuki was awake. "I'm very sorry I didn't come with Yoko but..."Jenna added quickly but soon trailed off. Tsuki nodded her head "I understand Jenna..." she said, wincing while Yoko applied the herbs he had prepared. "If I didn't know better, I'd say your doing that on purpose." She gritted out through clichéd teeth. Yoko just laughed, while Hiei and Jenna sat down. Hiei in the windowsill, and Jenna leaned her back against the wall while sliding down. Tsuki looked at the pair thinking 'So they are finally getting along eh?'. Jenna didn't need to read Tsuki's mind to know what she was thinking. She saw Tsuki look at her then to Hiei. Jenna looked at Tsuki giving her a half-hearted glare while mouthing a 'no'. Yoko sighed, "Well as much as I hate to leave. Kurama is starting to bug me." Yoko said and yawned adding "Also I'm tired I need a nap but before I go..." he leaned down to Tsuki and kissed her lightly on the lips. "See Ya Tsuki" he said with a wink and a grin before changing back into Kurama. "My, my very Yoko is very assertive I see." said Jenna from her place on the wall. Tsuki growled at her.

---Watch it Dragon, or I won't tell you something about Hiei.----

Saying that Tsuki put back up her shield and sat up. Looking back at Kurama she sighed. Standing, much to Kurama's protests she said, "That was Aemoh you saw us fighting, that is what we are here to destroy."

Jenna stared at her "Nani? Something about Hiei?" she said out loud to herself. This for some reason had interested her and stirred her curiosity. Hiei luckily hadn't heard Jenna talking to herself and had decided to turn in. He hopped off his windowsill. While he was walking up the stairs he heard Jenna voice in his head 'Good night Hiei.' 'Good night.' he replied to her. Back down stairs Jenna smiled but then turned her head towards Tsuki when she said the word 'Aemoh'. She stood up and sat down on the couch Tsuki had once been laying on. "So Tsuki what are we going to do now? I wonder though how did you get into a fight with him in the first place? Did he ambush you?" Jenna stared at Tsuki waiting for an answer. Kurama was still standing there was also curious, so he sat in the armchair as Tsuki sat back on the couch. "What we are going to do now is prepare to ambush him. And he has been seeking me out every night this week, getting closer each night." Tsuki replied after a moment or two of silence. Jenna just gapped at her. "HE has been seeking you out and you didn't tell me!!!" she raged. Kurama was having similar thoughts. Yoko hadn't gone to sleep, had also been listening. Tsuki sighed, "I didn't tell you because I knew you would blow up like this, and there was no reason to worry you over something unsupported by facts." Stated Tsuki calmly. Jenna thought over what she said and found it to be true. "Okay Tsuki, you're right, but if this happens again you are to tell me, proof or no proof. Agreed?" asked Jenna, seeing Tsuki nod she headed up stairs for a nap. Jenna walked to he room and locked the door. She still felt angry at Tsuki for not telling her yet also relived that she would tell her the next time she felt Aemoh anywhere near her. Jenna turned and tossed many times yet couldn't go to sleep. Jenna sighed and mumbled "So much for a nap...". She opened the door hitting something when she did. "OWCH!!! Jenna!" It was Hiei who she had hit with her door. 'Shit.' Thought Jenna. "Sorry Hiei. You okay?" she asked a bit worried. Down stairs Kurama heard Hiei's 'ouch'. "Wonder what's happening up there." He said to Tsuki while he drank some tea. Tsuki was drinking her own special drink. Tsuki just shrugged, but after a moment or to asked, "Kurama, you and Yoko are mad at me ne?" She had been dreading asking it but need to know. Kurama turned to Tsuki "Well...yes we are angry at you. But" he quickly added. "I understand why though and I'm not going to hold it against you like Yoko is." Tsuki looked down at her 'Tea'. "Gomennashii, I. ......Don't know what to tell you, because I expected this. It not that I don't want to be..........with you it's just that...never mind. If your mad your mad." She finished still looking at her tea. Kurama started at her for a bit before setting down his tea. "Please tell me Tsuki. We're not mad just hurt. I know you want to keep us safe but..." Kurama had begun to blush "we don't care really. We want you to be our mate. We also want to help you fight against Aemoh even if it's not our place. We want to protect you Tsuki..." Kurama wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her into a hug as he said this. Tsuki was shocked to say the least, 'Mate?? They, he wants me as their mate!!!' Tsuki thought as she put her cup down and leaned against him. After a while she said, "Alright, you and Yoko can help. And I promise I won't push you away anymore ok?" she said while turning to look at him, them. Kurama looked back down at her with a wide smile on his face. "You have no clue how happy we are Tsuki!" he said. Kurama leaned down and kissed Tsuki when Jenna and Hiei came rolling down the stairs landing in a pile "Hiei! Did you have to trip me!? I said i was sorry." Jenna yelled trying to untangle herself from Hiei. It seems Hiei had tried to get revenge for being hit in the face with her door. He had tried to trip her and it had worked but he hadn't counted on her pulling him with her! "I didn't trip you! You probably tripped yourself like you did last night." Hiei said defending himself while also trying to pull way from her. Kurama looked over at them and was trying to not

laugh at them but failing miserably. Tsuki stared at them; she started to get up but felt Kurama tighten his grip. Sighing she relaxed, "Jenna really, must you and Hiei act like pups?" giggled Tsuki. Jenna glared at her, "Oh? I'm not the one sitting in Yoko Kurama's lap now am I?" Jenna said finally getting untangled from Hiei. Hiei just 'Hn' and looked at Kurama.

Finally get it together fox?

Yes, Hiei, now what is it about you and Jenna?

Hn. I have no interest in that baka onna.

Whatever you say Hiei

Mean while Tsuki and Jenna were having similar conversations.

So, finally gave in Tsuki?

----- Hai, but what about you and the Koorime? -----

There is nothing between Hiei and me

----- Right, and I'm a Inu youkai. But whatever. ------

Hiei and Jenna were throwing Tsuki and Kurama death glares while making their way to their seats. Jenna sat in a chair while Hiei took his regular place by the window. They sat in silence until Jenna spoke up "Hey. Where are Genkai and Yukina? I'd almost forgotten about them.". Kurama blinked then reached into his pocket pulling out a note and placing it on the table. "I almost forgot I found this note on the counter this morning. It seems they were called away for something." he said. Hiei whipped his head around "So we are all alone stuck with these two onnas now?" he said extremely annoyed. 'Well maybe it won't be that bad....to be alone with Jenna.' he thought. Kurama was having similar thoughts until Yoko woke up.

$ Ohanyo –Whoa Why is Tsuki in our lap?! Kurama what happened?! $

Ohanyo Yoko, It seems Tsuki has decided to let us court her.

$ NANI?! When did this happen?! $

A few minutes after you went to sleep I think.

Tsuki had felt Kurama's attention leave the conversation, and knew he was talking to Yoko. 'Wander how Yoko is taking it?' she thought, but guess he was taking it good, when Kurama started to hold her a little tighter. "So what are we going to do today?" asked Jenna, Tsuki smirked. "I suggest we train." She said, knowing how much Jenna hated her training sessions.

Jenna and Tsuki just sat there having a staring contest until Jenna finally gave in. Jenna stood up walking out the door out to the training field.

Tsuki I will get revenge for this.

Tsuki just grinned --Just try it Dragon. —

Kurama let go of Tsuki so they could go meet Jenna outside and Hiei followed them. When they got to the training field Jenna, immediately took a fighting stance as Tsuki disappeared. "Prepare your self Jenna," echoed through out the area. Jenna closed her eyes and tried to sense Tsuki, no luck. Out of nowhere to black roses shot out at Jenna flying straight for her head. She dodged, and lunged at a nearby tree. Which Tsuki jumped out of, Jenna following. Jenna jump kicked at Tsuki, but Tsuki block and threw a punch, which was also block. This went on neither landing a hit. After a while Jenna was getting tired. Though she had some of the more, stronger attacks, Tsuki was a better fighter. Jenna blinked and Tsuki punched her hard in the stomach. Making her fall to her knees. Coughing Jenna got up to see Tsuki looking at her. "Ok, that's enough. We've been at it for 4 hours. Its 12:00 o'clock and the boys are waiting for us inside."

Jenna stood up and nodded. "I hope Kurama has made lunch. I'm starving. I don't have the energy to go out and get a demon I guess I'll have to deal with human foods for now." Jenna sighed. Tsuki just nodded. They arrived at the house welcomed by the sweet smell of lunch. They walked into the kitchen to see Kurama and Hiei already eating. 'Geez couldn't wait for us?!' thought Jenna. "No we couldn't." answered Hiei. "Don't read my mind without permission. I'd beat you up but I'm too tired." Jenna mumbled as she sat in a seat and began to eat. Tsuki sat in a seat next to Kurama and gave him a small smile, which he returned. Jenna gags when she saw that. 'Tsuki smiled! And She, Ahhh! She smiled, the world's coming to an end.' She thought, while looking away. Another than that Lunch went on okay, no one really talked much. After they finished eating, Tsuki stood making Jenna groan. But Tsuki shook her head, "No, no sparring I'm going to train alone, I suggest you and Hiei spar again. Just don't kill each other this time, because I won't bring you back." She said walking out, Kurama stood and followed her. Jenna and Hiei stared at each other. Jenna smirked 'This'll be fun.' she thought getting up. "Well come on Hiei or are you just going to sit there all day?" "Hn." he said getting up to follow her.

After walking for a while Hiei was starting to wander where they were going. But before he could ask they stopped, by a creek. "Okay Hiei lets train here." Said Jenna turning to Hiei. Jenna got into a fighting stance and Hiei did the same. They spared for an hour or two before Hiei held up his hand motioning them to stop. He sat down panting. "What tired already?" Jenna said even though she was tried as well she didn't want to show it. "Hn. Shut up and rest for a bit. I know you're tired too," he said. Jenna plopped down next to him and took in a deep breath. "So Hiei what made you be nice today? I could have sworn that you would have thrown some sort of insult at me." she asked. Hiei just stared off into space, he didn't know why. He knew he was in love with Jenna, but he couldn't tell her that. Jenna waited patiently for his answer. "Hn, onna you ask to many questions." Hiei finally said, as he made to stand. But Jenna reached out for him, "Gomen Hiei, I was just kidding I didn't mean to insult you." Jenna whispered releasing Hiei. Hiei stood all the way, then surprisingly held his hand out to help Jenna up. Jenna stared at his hand for a moment before taking it. "Thanks." she said a bit shocked. She stood up but didn't let go of his hand instead she took a step closer to him keeping eye contact. "Your really confusing you know? Your either insulting me or helping me. Make up your mind Hiei. What do you really think of me?" she asked. Hiei took a step forward "Do you really want to know?" he asked, as he steadily got closer. Jenna barley nodded, she noticed how close Hiei was and he was getting closer! Then Hiei pressed his lips against hers, wrapping his arms around her waist. Jenna's arm, almost as if on their on, went around Hiei's neck. Hiei smirked against her lips, thinking 'so she likes to kiss huh? I'll give her a kiss.' Deciding that Hiei started to nibble Jenna's lip, making Jenna moan out. Taking advantage of the moan Hiei plunged his tongue into her mouth. Jenna growled in pleasure, making Hiei growl back. 'Dammit I'm starting to like this.' They both thought at the same time. Pulling away for air, Hiei picked Jenna up. Jumping up into a nearby tree, he settled her into his lap. Jenna looked at him curiously, but Hiei just smiled. Capturing her lips again, Hiei thought 'Her lips taste so good, like a drug or something. I'm addicted' AS he started to lick her lips in hunger. Jenna started to unfreeze, as she wrapped her arms around Hiei's neck to deepen the kiss. Jenna slipped her tongue into Hiei's mouth tasting him, making Hiei in turn moan. Pulling away, much to Hiei's displeasure Jenna leaned and whispered in his ear, "Its late, we can continue this later. Promise."

Back with Tsuki and Kurama.

When the arrived in a clearing deep in the forest Tsuki stopped, and tuned to Kurama. "So what are we going to do? Spar or just meditate?" she asked him. Kurama thought for a second before answering. Tsuki and Kurama had decided to skip mediation and go to sparing. "Um Tsuki you'll be fighting Yoko okay?" "Okay Kurama." she said taking out her sword. Kurama turned into Yoko who was smiling and gave Tsuki a hug "I missed you." he mumble. Tsuki smiled and gave him a slightly one-handed hug, before pushing him off. "We're sparing now. You can do that later." "Fine." responded Yoko a bit sadly. He pulled out his whip and charged at her. Tsuki dodge and slashed at him with her whip, and then her sword. Yoko dodged it all, pulling out another seed, but holding it in his hand. Tsuki became very wary of the seed. Half silver as she was, she knew Yoko was tricky, so she was on her guard. Yoko smirked seeing her instantly become more defensive when he pulled the seed out. Tsuki sheathed her sword and got rid of her whip. Crossing her arms she disappeared in the shadows. 'Crap' thought Yoko 'Midnights are best in the dark or shadows. She could be right behind me and I would never know.' As he tried to find her. Tsuki smiled, Yoko wasn't stupid, and he knew she had the advantage. Suddenly Yoko heard 4 objects flying toward him, jumping he saw 4 black roses. Then he felt a pain in his back, landing he noticed a scratch on his back. But he knew it wasn't over so he didn't stay focused on the wound for long. Tsuki was worried she hadn't meant to scratch him, only hit him. Cautiously she stepped out of the shadows, holding both of her swords in her hands. Yoko heard her coming from behind him, smirking he jumped and landed right behind her. Tsuki was about to turn and lash out when she noticed Yoko's whip. 'Kuso' she thought, as she yielded. Putting her swords away, she looked at Yoko, she could still smell the blood. She growl, walking over to Yoko she said. "Turn around, I want to look at the scratches." Yoko looked at her funny, was she worried at him? "Tsuki I'm fine, there is really no need to-"But Tsuki cut him off. "Yoko it was accident, but those scratches have some of a very special Midnight poison in them. Silver or not it will kill you if you don't let me look. SO please let me look." She begged him. Yoko looked at her, but turned around sitting. So she could exam the wound. It had indeed started to burn, but kill him? He heard her getting up, he turned to see what she was up too. "Yoko you trust me right?" seeing him nod she continued "Good, then the only way to heal you is to hit you with me sword." She said as she stood up and unsheathed her sword. " It doesn't hurt, and its not like I'm cutting you. Actually just the gust of this blade should do." She said as she pointed it at Yoko. Yoko, hesitated but turned, he trusted her. He tensed when he heard the swish of the blade. Then he felt a warm sensation on his back. The burning stopped and it felt like the wound wasn't even there. Yoko stood up after she re-sheathed her sword "Guess that's it for our training session ne?". he asked, but noticed that Tsuki wasn't paying attention. Curious, to find her staring at her hand he walked over to her. Tsuki hand was glowing, and she suddenly felt, warm, excited, happy, and comfortable with life. 'So I see Jenna is having fun.' Thought Tsuki, when she realized Yoko was staring at her hand. "Tsuki, why is your hand glowing?" Tsuki sighed 'Might as well tell him.' she thought. "It's an emotional bond between me and Jenna. She must be incredible happy if it glows like this. Makes me wander what her and the koorime are up to.". Yoko stared at her "I see. But I bet they won't have as much fun as us". Then he hugged her and started to kiss her neck. Tsuki shiver at the touch of Yoko's lips against her neck, making Yoko smile. Tsuki turned to face Yoko. Only to be picked up, and held to his chest. As he sat down, in the roots of a tree. Pulling her to him, Yoko started to kiss her jaw line, before making his way up to her lips. Careful not to spook her again. Yoko lightly brushed his lips against her, seeing her eyes close he continued. This time pressing his lips, he claimed hers as she warped her arms around his neck. He licked and nibbled her bottom lip begging for entrance into her mouth. Moaning Tsuki opened her mouth as Yoko shot his tongue in. 'Honey' was all he could think of, as to describe the way her mouth tasted. He ran his tongue over hers in an attempt to bring her tongue into his mouth. Tsuki was in heaven. She could hardly think straight, as she slipped her tongue into Yoko's mouth. She ran her tongue everywhere, tasting everything that was Yoko and Kurama. Pulling back for air she rested her head on his shoulder. Then Yoko started to nibble her pointed ears. "Yoko what are you doing?" she mumble through the fabric of his clothing. Yoko said nothing, but gave her butterfly kisses from her ear down to her jaw and back to her lips. Claiming them once again, they stated and all out tongue war. Which lasted until Tsuki sensed Jenna and Hiei coming, that and she needed air. Jenna and Hiei ran into the clearing. "Having fun Tsuki?" Jenna asked, holding up her hand. Tsuki growled, "The same could be said to you Jenna." Jenna turned her head so that Tsuki wouldn't see her blush. "Well. Shouldn't we be getting back?" she said wanting to change the subject. Tsuki nodded and started top get up, when she felt Yoko changing back to Kurama. Tsuki turned her head back to Kurama to see him smiling. Finally standing up she started to walk away. Jenna walked after with Hiei next to her. Kurama locked his arms around Tsuki's waist as they walked.

Feeling comfy are we?

-- Grrrr...Shut up Jenna!!—

Gomen Gomen. It really is cute though.

--Sigh Gomennashii for snapping. I'm having mood swings----

I see.

What are you two talking about?

You realize your conversation is easily probed?

Jenna turned to Hiei and hit him on the head.

If you can't say anything good then don't say anything at all!

Hiei rubbed his head and glared at her, 'Hning' and turned his head. Mean while Tsuki and Kurama were cracking up. Jenna glared at them. She sped up and started to walk ahead of them. Tsuki smirked. Pulling out a silver rose she threw it at Jenna, it turned into a water balloon. Hitting Jenna square in the head. "EEK! Tsuki!" She yelled turning around to chase Tsuki. Tsuki hadn't expected Jenna to chase her so she took off toward Genkai's house. Reaching the house she ran into her room. Or what she thought was her room. Jenna stormed angrily into Tsuki's room but didn't se her there. "Hmm?" Jenna decided to look into Hiei's room. Kurama was still chuckling after arriving back home and Hiei was snickering. Walking but to their rooms' they noticed that something was right. "NANI!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Jenna was lying in Hiei's bed "All black Hiei how original." She said sitting up. In Kurama's room Tsuki was sitting on his windowsill. " I should have guessed your room would be silver and red Kurama." She said, looking out the window. "Um...why are you in my room Tsuki? I'm sure Jenna has given up on you." Kurama said walking over to her.

Jenna and Hiei

"Hn. What are you doing in my room?" Hiei asked looking at her suspiciously. "I was looking for Tsuki." She said quickly thinking he might have thought differently. "Wouldn't the onna be in her room or the foxes'?" he asked still thinking she was up to something. "I checked, Tsuki's room so decided to check yours. And before you ask I didn't check Kurama's because I was afraid it would be pink." She answered, staring at Hiei. "Well she's obviously not here." He shot at her. "I was going to leave but your bed is really comfy you know?" she responded, lying back onto his big plushy bed. Hiei growled, "Get off my bed you have one." Jenna just turned over, ignoring him. Hiei growled again, before he jumped on the bed dislodging Jenna. "Hiei!" Jenna yelled trying to hit him. Hiei grabbed her arms and pinned them over her head, on the floor. "..........." Jenna couldn't say anything or even growl, because she had noticed the awkward position they were in. Hiei had noticed Jenna's face started to redden. He cocked his head to the side. "Nani? " (((We couldn't help but make cute for a moment! .)))) Jenna was getting redder by the moment, so she didn't notice Hiei's little cute moment. "Um, Hiei could you let go...this is embarrassing..."she whispered. Hiei smirked, leaning down he brushed their lips together. Jenna's blush disappeared and she grinned. "I thought you wanted me out." She snickered. Hiei 'Hned' and kissed her again, still not letting her up. Jenna leaned forward, as much as she could, pressing into the kiss. Hiei started licking Jenna's bottom lip, while pulling her into his lap. Jenna wrapped her newly freed arms around Hiei's neck pulling even closer. Then Hiei's arms snaked around Jenna's waist trapping her against him. Jenna moaned when Hiei started nibbling her lip. She pulled away taking a deep breath. Hiei smile and got up, puling Jenna with him. Jenna looked at him in a questioning way. "Nani?" she asked. But Hiei just picked her up and jumped on his bed. Jenna brushed her lips against his neck growling softly. Hiei moaned leaning his head back, Jenna started to nibble the juncture if his neck, growling. Hiei growled back in pleasure. She lifted her head and kissed him again. Hiei licked her lips begging for entrance. Jenna opened her mouth giving it to him, which he glady accepted. She wrapped her tongue around his, moaning. Hiei growled possessively, his demon blood taking over. She pulled back again to breathe. "Your good at holding your breath. Done this before?" she said, thought breathless, Hiei could still hear the smugness in her voice. Hiei pulled her back, whispering "Iie." The kissed her again. Holding the back of her neck to get better advantage of the kiss. Then a knock at the door interrupted them. Jenna growled in annoyance "Go answer it." she said though she didn't remove her arms. Hiei reluctantly removed his and her arms. Jenna sighed flopping down onto his bed as Hiei opened the door to show Tsuki, looking annoyed. Hiei looked at her, but she was looking at Jenna. Jenna stood up and walked over to Tsuki. "Were we bothering you Tsuki?" she asked. Tsuki smiled, "Only that my hand wouldn't stop glowing, and it's burning up." She said showing her now red and slightly burned arm. "Gomen Tsuki. I guess we got a bit carried away." Hiei growled, Tsuki noticed that Hiei seemed more possessive of Jenna now. Smiling Tsuki nodded "Just warn me before you mate ne?"" she said walking off. Jenna blushed 'Mate?!' she thought 'We'll maybe....' "Well I'm going down stairs for a bit Hiei-kun." She said while giving him a peck on the lips. But Hiei pulled her back for a longer kiss, before letting her go. Jenna smiled resisting the urge to continue what they started, but thought of Tsuki and went down stairs.

Kurama/Yoko/Tsuki

Tsuki continuously looked out the window. Her mind drifting to the battle she knew was coming. She was snapped out of her thoughts when Kurama placed a hand on her shoulder, "Please don't think of that now Tsuki." he said Tsuki laid her hand on his giving it a slight squeeze. "How did you know what I was thinking of?" she asked turning to him. He smiled saying "I could see it in your eyes." Tsuki nodded, scooting over to make room for Kurama on the windowsill. Kurama sat next to her and stared at her. Tsuki leaned over and brushed the hair out of Kurama's eyes, wanting to see them. Strangely his eyes reflected nothing but her own. Tsuki had expected this, knowing he hardly let his eyes show emotions, Kurama leaned over to Tsuki and gently kissed her. Tsuki returned the kiss fully. They stay locked like that until they needed to breathe again. An for once Kurama's eyes shown emotions which were of happiness and passion. Tsuki leaned over to kiss Kurama again, when she felt her arm start to get hot. She looked down at it, a noticed it was glowing bright pink and it was steadily getting hotter. Kurama looked at her and blinked "Are you okay Tsuki?" he asked worriedly. Tsuki tried to hide a wince, but knew it showed. "Jenna" she finally gritted out. Tsuki stood up walking to the door. "I'll be back Kurama." She walked out the door closing it as she did. She walked over to Hiei's door and knocked. She waited as she heard footsteps and mumbling before Hiei opened the door. Tsuki stared at Jenna as she came over. "Were we bothering you Tsuki?" she asked. Tsuki smiled. "Only that my hand wouldn't stop glowing and its burning up.' She said holding up her arm so the couple to see. She saw Jenna blush and say she was sorry. She was sort of surprised when she heard Hiei growl, obviously he had gotten possessive. Tsuki nodded and joked "Just warn me when you mate ne?" then she walked of, wandering hw Jenna would react to that. Tsuki walked back rubbing her arm, walking up to Kurama's room she knocked. Instead of Kurama's smiling face she met with Yoko's grinning one. "Tsuki...." He said before wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her into a deep kiss. Still kissing her, Yoko pulled her completely into his room closing the door as he did. Tsuki let a smile curl onto her face, Yoko chuckled as his hand trailed down the curve of her spine. Tsuki smirked and slapped his hand lightly, Pushing her lips toward his. Yoko moaned mischievously and pulled Tsuki toward his bed, tongue darting into the onna kitsune's mouth. A hard lump rubbed against Tsuki's leg and Kurama nearly died in embarrassment as Yoko took complete control. "Tsuki!!!" yelled Jenna from down stairs. Tsuki instantly pulled back, looking at the floor. She mumbled "Maybe, I should go." Yoko sighed "Do you have to? Grr, I hate that little curse." She said hugging Tsuki. Tsuki hugged Yoko back "Then I'll get rid of it." She said walking out of the room, and down stairs. Jenna met her half way. "so are you sure we should? I was listening to you guys." She added seeing how Tsuki had opened her mouth to ask 'how?' Tsuki nodded "Gomen for that, now follow me." she said walking to her room. Opening the door for Jenna, she closed it behind her, placing a barrier on it. Jenna sat on the floor, watching as Tsuki walked over to her dresser getting a dagger. It was the same dagger she had used to place the curse. Walking over to Jenna, Tsuki sat across from her on the floor. "I'm changing it, not getting rid of it. It won't be as acute. It will only tell us when one of us is in serious trouble or depression. Now your hand." She said as she cut both of their already scared hands. Chanting a spell Tsuki placed their hands together. The blood fell to the floor black instead of red. Both of them with held a scream from the extreme pain it was causing. When the spell was done their palms were already healing. "Is it over?" Jenna questioned. Tsuki nodded, Jenna stood up wobbly, but instantly fell back to the ground. Yoko and Hiei had smelled the blood and were worried. "I'll let them in okay?" she asked. Tsuki again nodded for she was exhausted from the spell. Jenna pulled her self up and wobbled to the door, with a little help from Tsuki's black vines holding her up right. She opened the door wide. Yoko instantly ran to Tsuki's side while Hiei wrapped his arms around Jenna's waist to steady her, since the vines disappeared and she was about to fall again. "What were you doing?" asked a worried Hiei. Yoko who knew what they were doing was just trying to get Tsuki to look at him. "Tsuki? Tsuki? Tsuki?!" but she still wouldn't open her eyes. She looked pale. "Jenna do you know what's wrong with her? Asked Yoko who was now really worried. "She is just exhausted because of the spell. She just needs some rest. Speaking of that I'm a bit tired too Hiei-kun....." Jenna mumbled leaning her head on his. Hiei nodded and took her to his room laying her on his bed. Yoko nodded to Jenna's response as Hiei walked out the door. Picking Tsuki up and closing the door, he laid Tsuki on her bed.

Hiei and Jenna

Hiei was about to go sit on his windowsill when Jenna grabbed his arm. "Stay here Hiei please?" she asked though she was already falling into unconsciousness. Hiei smiled a bit and lay next to her. Jenna curled up next to him, burying her face into his chest. Hiei wrapped his arms around her shoulders as Jenna fell asleep. Hiei smiled, which stayed on his face as he too fell into a light sleep. Never once regretting tell her, or showing her how he felt.

Yoko Kurama and Tsuki

Yoko sat on the edge of the bed, brushing the hair out of Tsuki's face. "Yoko?" Tsuki whispered, turning her face to the side to look at him. Yoko smiled "Hai?" Tsuki smiled sleepily, wincing slightly, her energy was low. Yoko smirked and stroked the vixen's brow, his eyes dancing with fondness for her. Tsuki sighed and rolled to the farther end of the bed, her fingers brushing against Yoko's. The male kitsune edge into the bed wrapping his arms around the sleeping form of Tsuki. Her eyebrow cocked slightly and a small smirk played across her lips. Yoko swept his eyelashes against her neck and tickled her fair skin. Tsuki moaned as Yoko brushed his lips against her neck. A smirk crossing his face as Tsuki turned to him their lips brushed lightly together as the night slowly drifted down upon them.
