Chapter 8
It had been a few weeks and no sign of Aemoh. They had tried to hunt him down and free Jenna from the curse but they had no luck so far. Jenna awoke stretching. She hopped out of bed and looked at her clock. '3:00 a.m. Ne? I woke up a bit late.' she thought getting dressed. Jenna had been waking up early for a while. She had basically been ignoring everyone as much as she could. It was easy since Tsuki was either with Kurama or searching for Aemoh and Hiei seemed to be avoiding her for some reason. Jenna opened up Tsuki's door. She found Tsuki and Kurama sleeping in each other's arms. Since the last time Kurama had been sleeping in the same bed as Tsuki almost every night. She smiled closing it door again. Jenna always checked on everyone when she woke up lately. Jenna smiled 'I'm glad Tsuki is happy. When we finish off Aemoh I wonder if she'll stay here with Kurama.' she thought walking over to Hiei's door. She stared at it for a while before deciding to go in. Jenna cracked open his door to make sure he was asleep. Luckily he was. She snuck in and watched him sleep. "Kawaii..." she whispered while stroking his cheek. "Why are you avoiding me Hiei-kun?" she mumbled. She had tried to talk to him but it was impossible since he made it so hard to. She left closing the door as she did. Jenna went downstairs sat on the couch and turned on the TV waiting for the others to wake up. A few minutes later Tsuki came down, not looking as happy as she had been while she was sleeping. She looked at Jenna, black tears rolling down her face.
"We have a problem." She whispered. Jenna stood up "what is it!?" she said knowing something very bad must have happened to make Tsuki cry. Tsuki gave Jenna a sad smile, walking toward the door she whispered again. "Follow me I don't want everyone to know." They had been walking for a while when Tsuki finally spoke. "The dream I had last night.......It was about Aemoh. It was a version Jenna." Jenna stopped at looked at Tsuki. She clenched her hands "What happened in it?" she asked. Tsuki sighed. "It seems my brother is dead. And there was a way I could have prevented this all. Also, we aren't going...to...live through this. At least, one of us is going to die."
I'm very sorry about your brother Tsuki.... but when you mean 'us' you mean me and you or Hiei and Kurama as well?" she asked. Tsuki shook her head no. "Just you or me........lets keep this from the guys ne?" she said walking deeper into the forest. Jenna walked after her "I will. Where are you going?". Tsuki looked at her waist. Sensugia and Setsugai. "I'm going to Maki do not tell anyone. I don't know how long I'll be either." with that said Tsuki disappeared. "Wait Tsuki! Shit." Jenna cursed. 'Why would she go alone to Maki after such a vision.' she thought while walking back to the house. She opened the door and saw Hiei sitting on the couch. "Ohayo. Aren't you up early Hiei?" she asked sitting on the couch next to him trying to make a conversation. "Hn. I heard a noise." he answered. "What did it sound like." "Sounded like some one crying." "Oh.... I'm going back to my room." Jenna mumbled remembering what Tsuki said. 'One of us is going to die...I pray it won't be Tsuki...' she thought. She arrived at her room when she heard Tsuki's Dorr open. Out of it came a sleepy Yoko Kurama "Where is Tsuki?" he mumbled. "She in Maki she said she'd be back by the end of the day." she lied so nobody would worry too much. "I see. I'll make breakfast." he said turning back to Kurama since Yoko couldn't cook. Jenna nodded walking into her room while Kurama went downstairs.
With Tsuki in Maki
She was running as fast as she could. In one hand she held the blackest of roses and in the other she held pure crystal. She stopped before a large waterfall, jumping into the water she swam under the waterfall. Behind it was a large cavern. In the middle of the cavern was a blue flame. Walking up to it Tsuki threw both the rose and the crystal into the fire. Unsheathing Sensugia, she held it in the fire as it turned black. The sword shined bright purple with life.
Tsuki chanted:
Fire in Ice
Fire in Light
Fire in Darkness
Bring life
Saving beings
Bring light to dark
Bring dark to light
Fire in Ice, Darkness, and Light
Tsuki stopped chanting, as she sword pulsed glowing purple, then black, then blue, and then it stopped. Her sheathing her sword, Tsuki watched as the fire went back to blue. She swam back out the cavern only to be confronted with a large group of demons. 'They smell of Aemoh.' She thought as she got into a fighting stance. "You are Tsuki are you not?" roared one of the lower demons. Tsuki just smirked, as the demons attacked. Crossing her arms she called "Crescent Blades." She killed a little under half of the demons. The surrounded her, closing in one got her on the back with his claws. Turning Tsuki slashed his head off, then block another attack. 'Great.' She thought as she jumped and the followed. Turning she pulled out five black roses, which she threw at them. Hitting five in the heart or major organs. She still had about a hundred left. She landed she was losing blood fast. "Great, so this was what my vision was about.' She thought as she again used 'Crescent Blades.' Dropping to her knees she tried to call Jenna with her mind. Just to let her know that she was coming and that she was injured.
With the Others
They had just finish eating breakfast when Jenna felt her hand pulsating. Looking at it, she saw it was glowing purple. That meant Tsuki was trying to contact her. Excusing herself she went to her room. Once inside she closed her door, and called out to Tsuki mentally.
Tsuki! Are you okay?! What's going on!? Jenna was extremely afraid for her friend.
--I'm coming back. I'm afraid I'm wounded though. —
It's okay. Get back as soon as you can!
Tsuki summoned a portal and appeared in Jenna's room. She began to feel a bit dizzy and feel to her knees. "Tsuki!" Jenna said helping her friend to her bed. "What happened?" she asked. "I just ran into some trouble. I'm fine just lost a bit of blood." "I hope that's all. Now turn over," she said starting to clean Tsuki's wounds. "I can do it my self Jenna." "Iie. Your too weak." she said and continued clean her wounds. "Jenna?" Kurama's voice came from the other side of her door. "Jenna is everything okay?" "Hai. Tsuki came back and were just talking about her trip. We'll be down soon." "Okay" he said. They heard his footsteps fade away. "Tsuki.... we have a problem...." Jenna said. "Nani? What wrong?" Tsuki mumbled still a bit dizzy. "I smell poison in your wounds. I'm not familiar with this type though." she answered. Tsuki shot up, when Jenna said poison. Growling she pulled her shirt back on and started toward the door. "Thanks Jenna. But I'm going to take care of it myself." She said almost to the door when, Jenna grabbed her arm "And how are you going to do that!? Tsuki you shouldn't have gone alone in the first place you know!" Jenna hissed. Tsuki sighed," When about 500 demons attack you at once and you only walk out with a poisoned cut I'd say you are fine." She said, pulling out a blue and purple rose. Walking over to Jenna's bed she sat, seeing as how Jenna wasn't going to let her leave. "Here you said you were familiar with this poison correct? Well this will act as an antidote." She said handing Jenna the rose. Jenna stood there looking at the rose "You sure?". Tsuki half-heartily glared at Jenna, "Of course. I don't plan on suicide." She said. Turning on the bed she pulled up her shirt so Jenna could treat her wounds. "I think I know where Aemoh is." "Well? Tell me!" Jenna said. "I'll tell you and the boys at the same time." Growled Tsuki, the poison starting to take affect. "Alright." She answered putting the rose mixture on Tsuki's wounds and wrapping them up. "Done." "Finally." Tsuki mumbled putting her shirt back on and walking to the door. Jenna followed Tsuki to her bedroom door closing it behind them. Tsuki started walking down the stairs, slowly for her back was throbbing in pain. "Does it still hurt?" Jenna asked "Hai, A bit." Tsuki responded. They arrived down stairs to find Kurama and Hiei watching TV. "You know Hiei you've been watching a lot of TV lately. Are you okay?" Jenna asked sitting next to him. "Hn." Hiei responded flipping the channel. Tsuki walked to the other side of room for Kurama. Not wanting to be near him right now. Leaning against the wall, she waited for someone to speak. "So.......how was Makai?" Kurama asked. Jenna snatched the remote from Hiei and sat on a chair. Tsuki glared at the ceiling. "Fine. Aemoh is using it as his hide out. But he doesn't know we know. He thinks I'm dead. As of right now." Jenna looked over at Tsuki "So.....what are we going to do?". Kurama nodded. Tsuki continued to look at the ceiling. "Nothing. We aren't going to do anything." She said. "What do you mean?" she asked standing up. Hiei and Kurama just stood/sat there listening. Tsuki sighed and looked at Jenna "This is between You, Me and Aemoh." Looking at Kurama and Hiei she continued "You aren't to be involved, Hiei or Kurama. That's what I mean, and that's my final choose. We are doing this alone Jenna." She said, getting off the wall. Jenna was quite for a minute as if in deep thought "Alright I agree. It isn't any of their business is it?" she said. "Hey! Tsuki! We won't just let you go and fight without us!!" Yoko Kurama said. Tsuki said nothing but slowly walked past Yoko Kurama, "It's not your choice any more. Besides I won't let you die." Hiei was looking at Jenna, he had figured out his feelings, but what about her? Hiei growled, grabbing Jenna's arm he said, "I want to talk." 'Now he wants to talk!?' Jenna thought annoyed. She almost said it out loud but instead just said "...fine." and shrugged. Hiei practically dragged her out of the house.
Tsuki and Kurama
Tsuki began walking to her room for some rest. Yoko Kurama was walking next to her in silence "Tsuki.....Didn't you promise that we could help? Your going back on your promise!" he said his voice raising. "I didn't promise. I said you could but the circumstances are different now. That's final!" she yelled slamming her door. "Tsuki!!" yelled Yoko Kurama, "Open this door and talk to me...us now!!!" He shook it getting very frustrated "Fine Tsuki but I'm your mate and I'll protect you whether you want me to or not!" he yelled and stormed off to his room.
Inside Tsuki's room
'MATE?!?!? Has he lost it?!' She turned and glared at her door, as if it would melt under her glaze. 'How...who does he think he is! We are not mates; we haven't mated yet...Wait did I just...'yet'? Grr.' She thought as she walked right back out her door. Walking up to his she paused.
Hiei/Jenna
Hiei had dragged Jenna outside to a tree. "What do you want to talk about?" Jenna asked ripping her arms out of his grip. She sat down leaning against the tree. "What are you thinking? Do you onnas really think you can beat Aemoh by yourself?" Hiei demanded, Crimson eyes coldly staring at Jenna. Jenna glared at him "You think you can? Trust me Hiei-chan you underestimate us. We are far more powerful then we show. Now if that's all I'll be going now." Jenna said still glaring at Hiei but not bothering to get up just yet. "Hn. Onna that's not all." Hiei said, but paused. How was he to tell her? What if she didn't feel the same? Jenna's glares soften. She sighed pulling Hiei down next to her wrapping her arms around his waist. "Hiei what's wrong. You're starting to worry me." she mumbled her head on his shoulder. Hiei was frozen; he didn't know what to do. "Jenna..." he whispered, making Jenna look at him funny. Leaning down he brushed his lips against hers. "What are your feelings for me onna?" he muttered against her lips. Jenna blinked then a warm smile appeared on her face "I love you." she said pressing her lips against his. Hiei wrapped his arms around Jenna's waist and pulled her fully to him. Pulling away to let her get air he said, "Then let me help you. I don't want you to die." Seeing her about to protest he quickly kissed her again. Effectively silencing her, while he held her tight.
Tsuki/Kurama
Tsuki decided to knock on Kurama's door. Though Kurama didn't answer. "Look I know you don't want to talk so listen. What did you mean I was your mate? Was it just something you said or did you mean it? Well whatever it doesn't matter now. Because I'm not staying in Nengenkai. I'm leaving tonight." Tsuki said, and started to walk off. 'It's best this way. He will move on and forget me. It's best this way.' She thought, trying to convince herself that making Yoko Kurama hate her would help him, if and when she died. Tsuki felt a pair of arms wrap around her. "Don't go Tsuki. Gomen." said Yoko Kurama. Tsuki tried to pull out of his grasp, but he just held her tighter. "Let me help you please Tsuki. Please koishii." He whispered in her ear, making her go oddly still. "Kurama...Yoko...let go...please...." Tsuki whispered. Yoko Kurama loosened his grip a bit. She busted out of his grip and went to her room. Inside her room Tsuki leaned against the door. 'Stop making this so hard!' she yelled in her head. "Tsuki, What's wrong why are you doing this?!" Yoko Kurama shouted at the door. Inside Tsuki was leaning against it crying. "Please Yoko, Kurama just please forget about me." She said just loud enough for him to hear. Yoko Kurama stood stunned and just openly gaped at her door. Leaning against the door he whispered the only word that he could think of "Why?" His only answer was silence though. Yoko Kurama sat in front of the door. 'She has to come out sometime. Then she'll have to answer me.' he thought.
Hiei/Jenna
They sat there kissing until Jenna lost her breath. Hiei just held her to his chest in a tight grip, but loose enough that Jenna could breath. "Hiei.... You asked me about my feeling...but you never told me yours." Jenna said still rather breathless. Hiei moved her in his lap so that her ear was right next to his mouth. Licking her ear he said. "You baka onna. I feel the same." Jenna growled softly "You think you'd get bored of calling me onna. You think we should go see what's going on?" she asked listening to Tsuki's and Yoko Kurama's fight. Hiei growled he didn't want to get up or let her go. "No." he said rubbing his face in her hair. Her scent intoxicating him, she smelled of winter rain. Something for an odd reason soothed Hiei. "Hiei-chan what are you doing?" asked Jenna, ruining Hiei's little comforting moment. Hiei just 'Hned'. Jenna sighed and stood up "I've got to go see how Tsuki is. If they had a fight she's going to be upset." she said pulling Hiei up by his arm "And you should go talk to Kurama." she added. Hiei growled but reluctantly nodded, grasping Jenna's hand they walked back to the house. When they were inside Hiei gave Jenna an odd look. Jenna was confused, "Nani? Is everything okay, Hiei-chan?" she asked. "Hn. Both of the foxes are in the same spot, with the exception of about a foot. Near Tsuki's room, no in it or at least Tsuki is." he said, still looking at Jenna "Something is definitely up. Should we intervene?" Jenna asked crossing her arms over her chest. Hiei sat down on the couch and closed his eyes "It none of our business. The foxes should settle it themselves.". Jenna looked from Hiei to the stairs and back "Even if it isn't I'm still going to talk to Tsuki." she decided walking up the stairs. Kurama heard someone coming up the stairs; he was still sitting in front of Tsuki's door. From the sound of the steps he could tell it was Jenna, Hiei's steps had a much more hollow sound to them. Tsuki hadn't said anything, but seemed to be reading something from the occasional flip of a paper. He saw Jenna when she got to the top of the stairs "Kurama" she said as a greeting. Kurama just nodded his head. Jenna knocked on Tsuki's door "Tsuki. Open up." she said. Tsuki looked up from the papers she had been working on, they were reports from Spirit World and such. She knew Yoko Kurama was still out there and was hesitate to open the door. "Nani?" she called still sitting at her desk. If Jenna wanted to talk then she was going to have to do it through the door or come in through the window. "Open the door. He won't get in okay?" Jenna said knowing that Tsuki was hesitating because of him. Yoko glared at her, "You act like I'm a dog or something." he scuffed. From inside Tsuki's room you could hear a faint giggle. Jenna smiled "Close enough" she mumbled. "Nani?" he asked still glaring. "You gonna let me in Tsuki?" she asked ignoring Yoko Kurama's question. "If not I'll open it myself you know." Tsuki growled, "Don't you dare." she snarled as she made her way over to the door. Stopping right in front of it she said. "There is another way in you know?" "Really? Well I'm already at the door. Just open it." she said with a fake innocence. Mumbled curses could be heard from the other side of the door, as Tsuki unlocked the door. There was a small click, as the door creaked open. Tsuki glared venomously at Jenna "I hate you..." she said. "Whatever." she replied walking in. Tsuki shut the door and turned around. "So. What happened?" Jenna asked who was now leaning against the wall. Tsuki glared at here, before walking back to her desk. "Nothing. I have just decided that it is better for HIS sake that he forget me. But he refuses...how are things with you and the Koorime?" she replied as she picked up her papers again. She could tell that they had talked and everything was fine between them. For Jenna seem to be more calm and talkative than she had been in the last few weeks.
Jenna was caught off guard by the question and her face reddened a bit "Fine." she said turning her head to look out the window. "Why do you want him to forget you?" she added changing the subject back to Kurama and Tsuki. Tsuki glared at her door, knowing that Kurama was eavesdropping on this part of the conversation. "My reasons are my own. Besides what would you do if Hiei died? You would become distressed correct?" she answered, though it wasn't the answer Jenna was looking for. Walking over to her closet Tsuki pulled out a large bag. Jenna closed her eyes "Yes I would be but, he not fighting. No matter what he says." she mumbled dedicating not to press the subject while Kurama was listening. "I guess I'll be going Tsuki." she said getting off the wall and walking out. Tsuki had finished packing her bag full of clothes and other things when Jenna said she was leaving. "Fine, but I am too. I'm going back to Makai." She said pulling her bag over her shoulders, and walked toward her window. That was how she planed to leave; she wasn't going to risk being caught by Kurama. Jenna turned to her "Why? Where will you go?".
Tsuki continued to look out her window, "Some where. If you need me just call me, you know how." she said, and started to open her window.
"Yes but, Aemoh is there. You shouldn't be alone in such a dangerous place!" she said walking over to Tsuki. Tsuki looked at Jenna, one foot hanging out the window and one still inside. "Who said anything about being alone? Or about Aemoh? He thinks I'm dead remember?"
Jenna sighed placing a hand on her head "Shouldn't we kept it that way? What if he finds out that you are still alive? Who will you be with if your not alone then?" she asked. She didn't enjoy the idea of Tsuki leaving for Makai. Tsuki sighed, "I plan to go see some Kitsune about my father...if they are still alive that is." she said now both of her feet were out of the window, she was ready to leave.
Jenna nodded and turned. "Be careful alright? I don't want to lose any more family." Jenna said closing the door walking downstairs past Yoko Kurama who seemed to have fallen asleep. Tsuki smiled. "Hai." she whispered as she jumped out of the window and into a portal.
Jenna walked down stairs to see Hiei sleep on the couch. "Aww...Isn't Hiei-chan so adorable." she whispered laughing a bit squatting down next to his face. Hiei rolled over toward Jenna and licked her cheek, before sitting up yawning. "Your to loud onna." he replied to the now fully stunned Jenna. Hiei smirk at her expressions, leaning over he licked her other cheek. Jenna blinked coming out of her stunned state. She sat next to him placing her head on his chest. "Tsuki left for Makai. It's going to be bad when Yoko and Kurama find out." she said. Hiei looked at the staircase for a while before saying anything, "You just let the onna leave? And she didn't tell the fox?" Hiei asked, curious to know what was going on but not letting it show. Hiei's hand went through Jenna's hair unbraiding it as it went through Jenna's hair. Hiei didn't even seem to notice he was running his fingers through her hair. Jenna closed her eyes and mumbled, "Yes well she thinks that Yoko and Kurama should forget about her incase she dies. I don't think that's the best thing though but, it's hard to change Tsuki's mind. So I let her go. She'll keep in touch though.". Jenna yawned and snuggled up to Hiei growling softly. Hiei seem to be lulling her to sleep. Hiei looked down at Jenna, smiling he picked up the now asleep Jenna, and walked off to his room. Walking in the hallway he saw Yoko's fox form sitting in front of Tsuki's door. Yoko was growling softly, when he turned and faced Hiei. Hiei walked into his room and laid Jenna down on his bed, walking out of his room he looked at Yoko. Kurama lifted his head off of his paws looking at Hiei "Hai Hiei?" he asked getting up and stretching. "Hn. Still have trouble with the onna?" Hiei asked jerking his head in the direction of Tsuki's door. Hiei guess that Yoko didn't know Tsuki was gone since he was still sitting in front of her door. "Iie I know she left Hiei but.... I don't want to admit it." he said curling up closer to the door. His tail dropping on the ground. Hiei looked at his long time friend and felt sorry for him, "Do you know where the onna went?" Hiei asked, curious to see why Yoko hadn't already left to go get the baka onna. Kurama shook his head "It would be a waste to go after her. She wouldn't come back. She wouldn't even let me near her...." he mumbled. "That's where you are wrong Kurama." Said Jenna, she had heard the whole conversation. Both Hiei and Kurama looked at her with questions written on their faces. Hiei's more of a 'Why are you up?' than 'what do you mean?'. Kurama looked at Jenna for a minute before asking, "What do you mean? She won't even let me near here. She would kill me if I went after her." Jenna looked at the fox with sympathy, before saying. "She didn't leave because she hated you. She left to protect you. We don't want you two involved. I would have left too, but in my state I would be a burden to her in Makai." Jenna said touching the marks on her arm. Kurama stared at her then jumped up. "Don't go to Makai just yet though. I mean you don't even know where she is. Besides I think she needs some time alone for right now. Tomorrow you can go and search for her if you want. It's late. Night'." she added with a wave and walked across the hall to her room. Hiei growled and went after her as Kurama made his way to his room.
SHE WENT TO MAKAI BY HERSELF!!
$ SHE IS GOING TO GET HERSELF KILLED!!!$
The battle raged in side Kurama's head as he lay down on his bed.
Hiei and Jenna
Hiei growled and ran up to Jenna grabbing her arm. Jenna was about to turn the doorknob when Hiei grabbed her arm turning she asked "Hai? What is it Hiei?". Her hand was still on the doorknob. Hiei pulled her suddenly and kissed her. "I'm not leaving you alone onna." He mumbled against her lips, his tongue slipping over her bottom lip as he talked. Jenna pulled away from Hiei, sucking a breath of air. "Oh? Then what are we suppose to do about sleeping?" she asked, her voice cocky. Hiei smirked and pulled her toward his room, muttering "baka onna, sleep in the same room". Jenna smiled and stuck out her tongue at him "I'm not a baka." she said walking into his room. Hiei said nothing and followed her in closing the door as he went.
With Tsuki in Makai (also her pov)
I was running through Makai, I felt kind of bad leaving like that. I was always the one running off, but that was just the way I was. I could get close to anyone and when I started to I pulled back into my shell. Jenna was a different story we helped each other and we had a common goal. To kill the man that slaughters our families. Mother had once told me that there were Kitsunes in Makai that would help me if I ever needed it. That's where I had been when Aemoh had killed her and Grandma. I had been with them to learn how to use and weld my powers. I felt that if anyone would know what to do with Aemoh it would be them. We were all Kitsunes after all. I just hoped they were still alive; rumor had it that all but a hand few of Kitsunes still lived on. 'I hope that includes them.' I thought as I ran deeper into a black forest. (end POV)
Kurama
Kurama laid I his bed tossing and turning. He couldn't sleep. Not while his head was full of Tsuki. He sat u and sighed; "Koishii...tomorrow I'm going to find you." he said and soon fell asleep.
Tsuki
Tsuki had run all night so she was resting in a cave when the sun rose. She saw no point in running; she had made excellent time last time. If she walked today she would still be earlier than she had planned to meet the other Kitsunes. Well she hadn't talked to them but she had planed to arrive at their last location in a few days, right now it would only take her two days walking instead of four. Grabbing her bag she signed, she missed Yoko and Kurama already. 'I have to do it. There was no other way.' She thought as she started walking east.
Hiei/Jenna
Jenna had already woken up and was down stairs on the couch. She decided to let Hiei sleep and to contact Tsuki to tell her about Yoko and Kurama.
Tsuki? Are you awake?
---Jenna? Ya I have been up for a while, what's on your mind? ---
Ah. Well.... Yoko and Kurama are going to Makai today to look for you.
---- (Mental growl, then sigh) Okay, are they up yet? I might as well wait for them. Once they get into Makai it won't be too hard to find me. Besides I have time to kill. ---
Gomen Tsuki. Um I believe they are still asleep. Should I wake them up and send them to you?
--- Why are you sorry? Oh, you're the one that told them. O-well they would have figured it out...ya go ahead and send them. But tell them to hurry or I won't wait understand? ---
Hai.
Jenna rushed up stairs opening up Yoko Kurama's door "WAKE UP!!!" she yelled causing him to jumped out of his bed and falling to the floor. He got up and glared at her "What!?" he barked. "Tsuki is waiting for you in Makai. I'll send you there when you're ready k?" Jenna said walking out. Yoko Kurama stood there for a moment before getting dressed and rushing downstairs. He was eager to see Tsuki. Jenna created him a portal "Tsuki will be sending you back alright? Don't do anything stupid either. Have fun!" she said pushing him into the portal. He blinked but nodded before being pushed into the portal. Hiei walked downstairs and yawned "Did you have to yell to wake him up?" he asked a bit annoyed by being awakened but also because when he woke up she wasn't there. "Gomen. It was the fastest way I could think of." she answered wrapping her arms around Hiei's neck and pulling him into a kiss. Hiei forgot all about being annoyed, and kissed her back. Leaving her lips he butter-fly kissed his way don't to the juncture of her neck, nibbling and licking it. Jenna moaned out as Hiei pushed onto the couch. Going back to her lips her thrusted his tongue into her mouth. Making Jenna gasp, she hadn't expected Hiei to react like this. Hiei's hands started running up and down Jenna's curves, while their tongues wrestled for dominance. Pulled away for air Hiei pushed Jenna fully onto the couch so that he was on top of her.
In Makai
Tsuki was sitting up in a high tree branch; it had just been a few minutes ago that she had talked to Jenna. She had wandered off a bit from the cave, but not enough for it to take to long to find her. Tsuki felt a huge energy coming from near the cave, 'Jenna must of used a portal to transport him, and she was excited when she did it.' She thought as she watched the direction of the cave. Sure enough moments later Yoko appeared in the clearing. She had masked her scent and her aura, so he wouldn't be able to detect her. She was wearing all black from her shoes to her wrappings on her arm. The only thing colorful on her was her hair and bag. Jumping from the tree see landed right in front of Yoko. Yoko smiled not fazed because he had sensed her in the tree. "Hey Tsuki." he said leaning against the tree. Tsuki looked at him; "You have to stay in this form if you are coming with me." she said and walked off. He got off the tree and walked after her. "Come with you?" he asked catching up to her. "You mean I can join you on your trip?" he asked excitedly. Tsuki kept walking and didn't spare Yoko a glance. "Would you have left if I told you to? I don't think so. So yes you can come on one condition though. You have to stay in your Yoko or fox form. No half transformations or Kurama forms...gomen." she said, putting her hands in her pockets. Yoko sighed 'Great. She's still seems pissed at me.... but she can't be all that mad.' he thought. "Your right I wouldn't and fine I agree. Kurama might be pissed though," he said. "So where are we going?" he asked just noticing he had no clue where they were going. Tsuki's ear twitched when she heard the sigh.. She wasn't mad at him, just trying to push him away. 'God I'm glad he can't here what I'm thinking.' she thought. "We are going to see some old friends, and they don't like humans.......they kill them on sight. So I think its best if you say how you are." she said. There was a long pause and the silence was deafening to Tsuki. So she decided to sing, "How can you see into my eyes like open doors...." Yoko closed his eyes listening to Tsuki. "That's pretty." he said when she finished. Tsuki blinked, she had forgotten Yoko was there. 'SHIT!!!!' she thought, as she mumbled a faint thank you her cheeks turning a slight pink.
Yoko grinned and placed a soft kiss on her cheek then moved to her lips. He wrapped his arms around her waist brushing his lips against hers and whispered "Tsuki, just so you know. No matter how hard you try to push us away. I won't give up easily and neither will Kurama.". He hesitated but let go of he waist and took a few steps back. "So how far is this place?" he asked his ears twitching. Tsuki wanted to cry but she didn't she was secretly glad they wouldn't give that easily up on her. Walking to him she wrapped her arms around his waist sniggling into his chest. A single black tear fell from her face, but Tsuki didn't notice. Tsuki's tail twitched as she thought about Yoko's question. Kurama was a bit shocked but the wrapped one arm around her waist the other wiped off the tear. "Gomennashii.........Gomennashii...Yoko.............Kurama." she whispered hugging him tighter, He lifted her head "What are you so sorry for?" he asked with Kurama's kind smile on his face.
Tsuki snorted and pulled her chin out of his grasp. Laying her head back on his chest she sighed. "For being a bitch. Plain and simple." she mumbled. Pulling away from Yoko, Tsuki began to walk again.
HIEI/JENNA
Hiei sat on the couch flipping through the channels with Jenna leaning her head on his shoulder. "Hmmm..... Hiei-chan can't you just stay on one channel?" Jenna mumbled, tried of seeing different channels every 5 seconds. Hiei just kept flipping the channels so Jenna snatched the remote from him. Hiei glared at her but Jenna just shrugged it off "What" she asked looking at the television. "Hn." he responded. Jenna found a channel she liked and place the remote on the table away from Hiei. Hiei wanted revenge so he started licking and nibbling Jenna's neck. Jenna moaned out "Hiei...what are you...doing?" she asked, as Hiei wrapping his arms around her waist locking her in place. Hiei laid Jenna down on the couch with him on top of her. He continued down her neck and was almost to her breasts when he stopped. Jena opened her eyes, which had been previously closed to see Hiei grab the remote and jump into a chair. She bolted up and threw a pillow at him while yelling "Hiei!". He just caught it. 'Damn. He tricked me.' she thought trying to formulate her own revenge plan Hiei smirked, though he had almost forgotten he was trying to get revenge. Hiei almost felt sorry he had stopped, almost. Flipping the channels again Hiei didn't even notice Jenna get up and leave. Jenna went into the kitchen filling up a bucket with water and added some orange dye. She created a portal into the den above Hiei's head. Reaching her arms into it, which was holding the bucket she dropped it on him and closed the portal. Jenna walked back to the den smiling as she heard Hiei scream.
Hiei felt cold liquid pour down onto him; he let out a yelp as he shot up. Hiei was now covered in bright orange dye. "Jenna...." Hiei growled glaring right at her. Jenna smiled innocently, "Why Hiei-chan you don't think I did that do you?" Jenna asked seeing Hiei nod her smile became a frown, "Well I wouldn't have if you hadn't played that dirty trick on me to get the remote." she growled and plopped down on the couch. "Well you shouldn't have taken my remote." he shot back. "You know you don't like any channel on there why go through them all over and over." she said. Jenna closed her eyes and sighed, "I'm going into the town for a bit.". She quickly walked out the door and created a portal jumping into it.
TSUKI AND YOKO
They had been walking for about an hour now, it was almost mid-day. When they came across a clearing, full of dead demons Yoko covered his nose the smell made him feel like retching. "What happened here?" he mumbled looking at one of the corpses. Tsuki sniffed the whole field smelled of Aemoh she walked into the clearing. Ignoring Yoko for a moment. She recognized some of the demons, the ones that had attacked her earlier and had gotten away when she ran. She looked around to see if she knew any more of the demons, finding none she walked back over to Yoko. Who still had his nose covered, Tsuki looked at him. Smiling she said, "come on let's go, there is nothing we need here." He nodded following her. When they got far enough from the corpses Yoko uncovered his nose taking in a deep breath and sighing. 'Finally.' he thought. Tsuki laughed at Yoko's actions, she was used to the smell, and had never seen anyone act this way before. Yoko looked at her glaring. Tsuki silenced her laughter but kept the grin. The woods started to become more dense which slowed then down a bit because sometimes they had to squeeze through the trees. Tsuki stepped over one but when she brought her other foot with her it got stuck causing her to fall. Luckily Yoko had gone before her and was able to catch her around the waist. "Are you okay Tsuki?" he asked.
Tsuki blushed, looking away she tried to pull out of Yoko's grasp but found he wouldn't let go. Tsuki's face was back to normal as she looked at Yoko, "Uh.... Yoko could you let me go please?" she asked. Yoko just grinned "No." was his short reply. Tsuki started to say something but Yoko leaned down and brushed his lips against hers. Tsuki put her hands on Yoko's chest; Yoko pulled her into a tighter hug as he backs them up to a tree. Tsuki's arms went around Yoko's neck. Truthfully Tsuki had missed kissing Yoko or Kurama, whoever she was kissing. Tsuki pushed her lips against Yoko's as he ran his hands over her curves. Tsuki licked his lips and bite them, not enough to make them bleed. Yoko moaned and Tsuki to the advantage of it and roamed his mouth. Licking his tongue she started a war between them. Yoko was trying to gain dominance, but Tsuki was going to let him.
They kissed until they ran out of air; breaking Yoko trailed licks and nibbles down to her neck juncture. He nuzzled he and bite it, just enough to leave red marks, not enough to mark her as his. Though he wanted to he wasn't totally sure Tsuki would be happy with it. Looking at her Yoko saw her smiling at him; she nuzzled the side of his cheek. Tsuki ran her fangs along Yoko's jaw, careful not to puncture the skin. When she reached his lips she kissed them lightly, pulling away before Yoko could deepen it. "It's okay," she whispered, her breath hot on his ear. "If you love me and want me as your mate, if both of you feel the same its okay. Because I love you, still." She whispered, pulling back to look at Yoko's face. Yoko kissed Tsuki hungrily, much to Tsuki's surprise she hadn't expect Yoko to react this way. Tsuki kissed back with all she had, but soon broke it for air. Yoko licked his way down to Tsuki's now red neck, placing his fangs where he had bitten before, he paused "Are you sure about this Koi?" he asked hesitantly. Tsuki purred in reassurance, "Hai, it is." she whispered. Biting her lip as Yoko bit into the soft flesh of her neck, pulling his fangs out Yoko licked the blood away. Then he moved the collar of his shirt so Tsuki could mark him as well. Tsuki gently kissed Yoko on the lips before setting her mouth on the juncture of Yoko's neck. Sinking her fangs in she heard a slight intake of breath from Yoko; pulling away she also licked any flowing blood away. Looking at Yoko's face Tsuki saw his eyes were gold and green, though he still had the body of Yoko, it was now halfway controlled by Yoko. Tsuki smiled and kissed him on the lips, Yoko kissed by fully; loving that Tsuki was now his.... err theirs. Tsuki pulled away, it was late in the afternoon, might as well look for a campsite.
Jenna
In Makai a portal appeared and out of it came Jenna. She looked at her surroundings, which seemed to be some old ruins. 'Home sweet home.' she thought walking through the rubble. She walk for a while reminiscing about her family. She laughed at some memories but her joy was only shot lived when she remembered their deaths. The farther she walked until she reached a door, which had miraculously stayed up though it still had burnt marks and looked unstable. Gently opening the door so it wouldn't fall she walked out to see a very over grown garden. Even if it was unruly it still held a great beauty in it. The garden, which stretched into the horizon looked like a blanket of green shades, mixed with flecks of other multiple colors. She walked to a bench that was once stained with blood but rust had begun to eat it away so you could hardly tell it was even a bench really. Jenna stopped and did some stretches. A few days ago when she still avoided the others she would sneak to Makai after checking up on them to try removing the curse Aemoh had placed on her. She had been able to weaken the curse but hadn't succeeded in fully removing it. Also every time she tried the marks would burn into her skin and numb her body. She was now able to call forth some of her powers and bring out her wings yet she was still weak and couldn't transform completely. Jenna spread her arms out and concentrated on the markings on her arm trying to thrust them off of her body. The mark began to glow a haze blue digging into her skin. Blood began to trick down her arm but she hardly noticed the bad part was the numbing of her body and sometimes she even go the wind knocked out of her if she tried to hard. She began to feel a bit queasy as well but also press this aside. Jenna's eyes opened slightly glowing black. The marks on her arm shone brighter and began to burn. Placing her hand over the bloody marks she inhaled sharply. The blue glow died down a bit and she gently took away her hand. Following her hand were the symbols that once adorned on her arm. She almost had then all off when the effects started to affect her. Blood mixed with bile rose in her throat and began to drizzle from her mouth making her release the symbols to cover her mouth. Falling to her knees she vomited. Her eyes returned to their normal gold. She whipped her mouth mumbling "Close. Almost had it.". She lay down taking deep breaths as her body started to tingle and become numb. 'Great' she thought sitting up. She quickly turned her head hearing clapping coming from the where the burnt door was. "A brilliant effort Jenna but, still not good enough. I'm disappointed. I though you'd have broken it by now. Maybe I over estimated you?" said a shadow from the doorway. Jenna growled knowing who it was. "Aemoh....what do you want.". She tried to move but it was hard considering that was drained of most her energy on top of being numb. "He walked out of the shadows over to Jenna. "Just visiting. Even destroyed this place still looks amazing." he said looking out into the garden.
"Also to check up on you my dear." he added with a grin. "Don't call me that." she growled glaring up at him. He squatted down next to her a devilish smile on his face. "Now now no need to act so hostile." he chuckled running his hand down her cheek to her neck then to her breast but she grabbed it shoving her claws into his wrist drawing blood. He just cocked a grin at her and stood up bringing her with him. He pressed his lips to hers. Jenna over taken by his actions and the numbness just stood there her eyes widening. He made his way to her neck dragging his lips against her skin. Brining out his fangs he was about to dig them in when Jenna came to her senses conjuring up her swords . She yanked herself away and shoved herself towards his slashing. He jumped back laughing "You never give up do you? You know you can't beat me." he said cockily. Jenna stood there leaning on one of her swords since she had dropped the other. 'Damn. I don't have enough energy to fight him.' she thought panting. He walked over to her and kissed her cheek. "I'll be back when you can give me a good fight." he said walking away. "I can fight you now!" she yelled but it came out as more of a loud mumble. He just kept walking away and waved his hand "Shouldn't you be enjoying your time with Hiei? Because soon enough you'll be mine.". He smirked hearing Jenna hiss. She watched him walk away sighing. 'Better get home. I need some rest.' she thought creating a portal with the rest of her energy and falling through it.
Hiei
Mean while Hiei had been busy, trying to get the bright orange dye off of him. His hair now was completely orange, along with his clothes and skin. The stench from the dye was making Hiei dizzy, and that didn't help any. Hiei had just decided to burn his clothes he had others. And the dye had only really gotten on his face so no skin to worry about...his hair was another matter. Looking into a minor Hiei saw his hair was still orange after 5 hours of scrubbing he still couldn't get it out. 'This had better not be permit! Or that Onna is going to pay!' he thought fiercely. After another hour Hiei got out of the bath and headed toward his room. He let his senses go to see if anyone was here, no one was back yet. Closing his door behind him, Hiei changed into some black clothes not orange. Walking down stairs he sulked, there was nothing to do. He knew the foxes were in Makai and he didn't even think about going to spirit world. And there was no telling where Jenna might pop up in Nengenkai. Flopping down on the couch, Hiei closed his eyes for a nap. About thirty minutes later Hiei's eyes snapped open, a great power was coming from the......kitchen??! Hiei shot up, he recognized that aura, it was a portal. Botan or Jenna or Tsuki? Walking cautiously into the kitchen he saw Jenna falling out of a portal. Hiei ran to catch her, holding her in his arms he smell a kitsune. The same smell of that man she and Tsuki had fought early. Growling Hiei walked up stairs. Hiei placed her on his bed, and checked her for wounds. 'Where and the seven hells was she? I though that Aemoh was in Makai.' Hiei thought. All he could see was a few bruises, the only thing was her bleeding arm. Hiei went to the kitchen and got the first AID, when he got back Jenna was awake. She was trying to sit up but had lost to much energy. "Lay down. You don't have enough energy onna." Hiei commanded as he started to wrap Jenna's arm, which was still bleeding a little. Jenna closed her eyes, she didn't feel like arguing with Hiei right now. Her thoughts were mostly fixed on Aemoh.
Hiei saw that her mind was somewhere else and decided to leave her to her own problems. Hiei got up. Jenna turned her head to Hiei when she felt him get up. "Thanks Hiei." she mumbled. She noticed the orange tint to his hair and snickered a bit. Hiei growled, and sat back on the bed glaring at Jenna. Leaning over her Hiei pushed his lips against Jenna's, demanding dominance. Hiei moved so he was lying on top of Jenna, his hand on either side of her head. Pulling out of the kissed Hiei made his way down Jenna's neck to the juncture where her shoulder meets her neck. There was where the Kitsune smell was strongest. Hiei growled. "I will not let him have you." Jenna smiled at Hiei's protectiveness. Some how his words made her feel safe from Aemoh. "I know you wont'." she whispered running a hand through his hair. Hiei pressed his fangs against Jenna's skin, making Jenna go very still. Hiei drew away, not wanting to force Jenna into anything. Hiei kissed Jenna again, holding back the need to mark Jenna. Jenna broke the kiss staring at him for a minute before turning her head to the side showing off her neck. "You can Hiei." Hiei stared at Jenna's neck for a minute before the information suck in. Leaning down Hiei licked the juncture, her skin was so smooth and soft. Hiei bit into her skin, not noticing Jenna's intake of breath, instead licked away the blood that poured out. Hiei licked her neck and made his way to her mouth. Releasing her mouth Hiei sat back. "Do you have enough energy to mark me or do you need to rest now?" he asked, Jenna blinked, and sat up. Hiei smiled, and pulled Jenna into his lap, not before taking his shirt off. Jenna sucked in air. Hiei might be cold hearted at times, but gods he was hot. Hiei smirked at Jenna's face, Jenna snapped out of her stupor and licked Hiei's cheek. Making her way over to his neck she bit down, drawing blood, which she licked away. When she pulled away Jenna fell back down on her back. She still didn't have enough energy. Hiei laid down beside her and pulled her to him, "Sleep." He order, knowing that Jenna was already losing unconsciousness. Jenna just nodded closing her eyes.
Tsuki/Yoko
Tsuki and Yoko had found a good place to camp for the night. It was a small clearing with a hot spring, near by. Tsuki smiled and set her bag down, digging through it she found the things she would need for a bath. Getting back up she saw Yoko had started a fire and was cooking something or other. "Yoko, I'm going to take a bath okay? Mate or no mate if you peek your going to die, understand?" she called, her mate. Yoko looked up at her grinning "Now why would I do that Tsuki-chan?" he said innocently. Tsuki glared at him. "Hai. Hai. I won't don't worry.". he waved his hand motioning for her to go. Tsuki walked away, when she got to the hot springs she let her senses go, no one was around. 'Good' she thought as she slipped into the water. Her bathed and rinsed herself off. Normally she would have soaked longer but she knew Yoko would start to worry. So she got out and changed into and all black outfit. It was a black tank with black jeans and shoes. Her wrappings on her arms were blue and she had a blue sash around her waist for her two swords. She re-braided her hair and headed back to camp. When she returned Yoko pulled her into a tight hug from behind. "What took so long?" he asked nuzzling her neck. Tsuki jumped slightly, but quickly relaxed. Pulling away from Yoko she smiled, "I wasn't gone that long." She said as she put her things back into her bag.
Yoko walked to her and grinned. Pulling her to him he kissed her. "Koishii...." he whispered, holding her tight, almost like if he let go she would disappear. Tsuki gently kissed Yoko, and laid her head on his shoulder. The sun had set about two hours ago and it was getting kind of cold. Pulling Yoko with her, since he wouldn't let go, Tsuki blew out the fire and walked over to her stuff. Tsuki sat pulling Yoko with her. When Yoko sat down he immediately pulled Tsuki into his lap. "Yoko I'm not going anywhere I promise." Tsuki laughed, Yoko just growled "I don't care, You're my mate, and I just want to hold you. Late time I gave you your place I almost lost you." Tsuki smiled and kissed Yoko on the cheek. "Okay, I'm sorry Koi," she whispered as she fell into a light sleep, her head lying on Yoko's shoulder. Yoko smiled and rested his head on hers. "Goodnight koishii." He said before going to sleep himself.
