Chapter 10
Tsuki sighed as she felt the portal opening again. Stepping out she realized she had missed her original target and instead they were standing in Genkai's forest. Jenna had calmed down some by now. Jenna looked around before turning to Tsuki. "I guess we'll walk back then," she mumbled with some venom in her voice. Tsuki sighed, "I hope the boys aren't mad at us." she said as they headed toward Genkai's home. When they arrived Tsuki sensed that the guys were heading towards them at a fast pace. Jenna took a deep breath and closed her eyes preparing her self for Hiei. She knew they would be angry with them for going off.
Tsuki turned to see a semi transformed Yoko Kurama and a pissed looked Hiei, with his jagon open. She gulped this wasn't good. Yoko Kurama ran right up to her, he looked both worried and pissed at the same time. As Hiei ran to Jenna, same going for him, well as much as possible for Hiei. Jenna smiled and gave Hiei a small wave. "We're back!" she announced even though it wasn't needed. When Hiei's face didn't change she decided to change plans. She looked down guilty. "Gomen." she mumbled.
Tsuki averted her eyes. She wasn't going to apologize she did nothing wrong. She looked over at Jenna and Hiei and saw that Hiei smiled somewhat as they quite exchange words. Suddenly she felt a clawed hand on her cheek. "Tsuki." came her mate's voice. Tsuki sighed, 'Here comes the guilt trip' she thought. "Look we went to go see Koenma about something." she said, noticing that the kitsune before her had nothing to say. He just nodded and hugged her. "Still you worried us." he said twirling her braid in his fingers. "That right! We have good news for you guys." Jenna spoke up looking at Hiei and Yoko Kurama.
Tsuki grinned, "If you will let us go inside we might just tell you." she said, her kitsune nature getting the best of her for the moment. She pushed out of the embrace and pulled Kurama along while Hiei and Jenna trailed them. Once inside Tsuki sat on the love sit while Kurama sat next to her. Jenna and Hiei sat on the couch.
"So?" Hiei said breaking the silence. He was getting impatient. Tsuki fidgeted uneasily. "We talked to Koenma about your.... err...working for him" she said, Tsuki hated telling people what she does. "Jenna you tell them." she said and leaned her head against the back of the couch. Jenna stretched. "Hai Tsuki. We went to Koenma to resign you guys from being spirit detectives." she said simply.
Tsuki groaned. Jenna had a way off telling people something that made it sound like it was no big deal. She tensed and waited for her and Jenna's mates' response. Hiei was quiet for a while before he wrapped his arms around Jenna's waist showing his approval. Jenna nudged against his neck purring. Kurama slowly pulled Tsuki into his lap and growled, trying to relax her. Tsuki slowly relaxed and leaned against him. Purring she said. "So I take it you both approve?" she asked, giggling lightly because Kurama was licking her neck.
Hiei and Jenna watched Kurama and Tsuki with grins on their faces. Jenna chuckled lightly. "How cute." she mumbled. Tsuki's face went blank but she didn't comment. Sighing she ignored the peanut gallery. "I have news on Aemoh." she said making all the joking cease. Tsuki watched as everyone tensed and felt Kurama tighten his hold on her. Jenna's eyes hardened and she growled lightly. "What is it and why did you wait till now?" she asked.
Tsuki let her eyes seep black, she growled lightly matching Jenna's building rage. "Because I had other things on my mind. I was thinking of a way to free our mates, or they wouldn't be able to stay with us. And trying to put together a riddle Aemoh sent me through a mind link." she growled. Jena sighed mentally. "Well continue on what you've learned about Aemoh," she said not wanting to let her rage out on her friend. Though Hiei noticed her hand clenched dangerously tight.
Tsuki sighed. "Aemoh said that the final battle would be in 30 days from tomorrow. Then he said, once the blood red moons shows and the ground flows with your family's blood. Only then can I die. That's the riddle." the kitsune sighed again. "Though it isn't a riddle its a coded message." she said again. Rubbing her temples, Jenna's rage was making her aura swell. "And have you figured it out?" Jenna asked in a strangely calm voice.
Tsuki laughed harshly, shocking Jenna and Hiei and sort of scaring Kurama. "Jenna if I had figured it out I wouldn't have wasted time telling you the riddle. "Tsuki said, sighing she shook her head. "Gomen, but it's really starting to get to me. I have figured out part of it but not all of it," she admitted, dully. "Well I would like to know which part." Jenna said getting more annoyed by the second. Tsuki snapped her black eyes to her friends face. Growling she calmed her self. " ' When the ground flows with your family's blood,'" she said, getting up she started pacing. "It means he is going to use something against us that we wont be able to fight. In my case my brother's corpse." she said, and had stopped pacing in favor of glaring out the window.
Jenna stared at the all in thought before getting up. "I see. I'm going into town for a bit.". She stopped and turnned to look at Hiei who was getting up to follow her. "Stay." was the only thing she needed to make him sit back down. The look in her eyes told him that she wasn't going to let him come along. Then she walked out shutting the door.
Tsuki sighed and followed her friend, changing so that none of her demon marking shone. Glaring at Kurama the look meant death if he followed. Shutting the door she caught up with Jenna, and walked along side her in silence. "So are we going to wait for Aemoh to make the first move?" Jenna asked still looking ahead on the path that leads to town.
"Yes and No. I don't really know anymore Jenna." Tsuki admitted, she was losing her touch and didn't like it. "Look I'm sorry about ...this." she apologized. Sighting she continued. "I wanted to see if your cursed had been removed yet. If you had succeeded then I was going to talk to you and see what you wanted to do. But if you hadn't I knew away to get rid of it. Though it would drain my powers for a while, and my mate might just die of an heart attack." Tsuki said, grinning at the last part.
Jenna laughed a bit but Tsuki noticed how it came out shaky. "So I guess that means we wait? I have removed the curse as well. Earlier this morning I snuck out and removed it. For some reason though my arm still burns." she said rubbing her upper arm. "It seems he's getting the best of us ne?" she mumbled staring up at the sky.
Tsuki smiled. "I still have a few tricks up my sleeve and he hasn't seen all of your attacks yet. Besides we can count on the fact that he knows nothing about our mates." she said, her calm and collective self returning, along with her mind and sanity. Jenna grinned running her hand over the mark on her neck. "True." she said. "Why don't we just go enjoy ourselves for awhile? Aemoh has been weighing down on us for awhile, our mates as well." Jenna said speeding up her walk when they entered the town.
Tsuki smirked and sped up with Jenna. "You know that's the most smartest thing you have ever said?" she asked playfully. Smiling she noticed a weapons shop and dragged Jenna into it. Jenna laughed allowing Tsuki to drag her. She was glad Tsuki had returned too normal and also glad that she had as well. Her eyes lit up seeing the weapon shop. She grinned running off to the swords as soon as they entered the store. Tsuki laughed and looked around, she noticed that the owner of the shop was sizing up her friend and growled. Walking over to Jenna she told her so.
----Dragon, you had best be glad you mate isn't here. You have someone checking you out.--- Tsuki warned though she, herself thought it was funny.
(Mentally laughs) true. It would be a shame to have him murder the man and probably damage all these lovely weapons She moved a bit so she was out of the shop owners' sight.
--(Mentally laughs)--- Tsuki smirked at her friend's response and closed the mind link. Walking over she looked at the guns. Sighing she headed toward Jenna. "I'm bored demon weapons are much better. Lets go." She complained to Jenna. Jenna nodded and followed Tsuki out.
Hiei/Kurama
Kurama was busy making lunch for him and Hiei. He huffed annoyed that his mate made him stay home. Hiei looked boredly out the window thinking about what he had heard today. "So from what they said, we no longer have to answer to the detective or spirit world?" Hiei asked suddenly. "Seems so." replied Kurama setting the table and putting out the food. He sat down with a light smile on his face. "I'm glad that we don't have to leave them anymore but, I am bit sad to leave Yusuke to handle all the demons now that Kuwabara is dead. I also heard tat Yukina was thinking of joining up with him to help." Kurama said whispering the last part.
Hiei's head immediately shot up at the mention of his half sister. "What did you say Fox?" The apparition gritted out, barley containing his anger and possessive demon blood for his sister. He could careless about Yusuke, well maybe not, but Yukina meant more, a lot more. Kurama sighed. "I heard Yukina talking to Genkai one night about training because she wanted to join up with Yusuke." he said waiting for Hiei's out burst.
Hiei balled his fist and clenched his jaw. "And why didn't you tell me sooner Fox?" he demanded anger pulsating through his veins along with a slight hurt that his friend hadn't told him. "Gomen Hiei but, she made me promise not to." he said felling a bit guilty. Hiei glared at his friend. "She will not be joining the detective." and that was all he said on the matter. Hiei ate in silence thinking of how to get Yukina to change her mind. Kurama sighed and started to eat. 'I really shouldn't have told him.' he thought.
Hiei finished and sat there he had heard his friend's thought and mentally somewhere in his mind sighed. "Hn. Fox" he said, it was his way of saying it was okay. With that he walked off; he decided that some trees were in need of taking a brutal training session.
Kurama just shook his head hoping that Tsuki and Jenna would come home soon. He didn't enjoy being alone.
$# Go get her Kurama! $# Yoko mentally commanded it had been two hours since the girls had left and Yoko wanted his mate back.
# She has been gone for TWO FUCKING HOURS!!! I'm angry! I want our mate here now! # Yoko shouted, cussing one of the few times Kurama had ever heard him do.
Okay! I miss her too. So I'll go. Kurama got up and walked out mumbling about how he was going to get his ass kicked and how pushy Yoko was.
Jenna/Tsuki
They girls had been wandering around town a bit, earlier they had run into Kaiko and Yusuke. Both Jenna and Tsuki had bought a few books, and clothes. At the moment they were sitting at a bar drinking, Tsuki had a sprite while Jenna had a cola. Drinking Tsuki sensed her mate nearby. "Is that Kurama coming?" Jenna asked a bit confused why he would come. Tsuki growled lowly so no humans could hear. "Hai." she said, and slipped on the other side of Jenna, making it look like Jenna was alone. Jenna sighed "Tsuki." she mumbled.
Kurama entered the bar and looked around for Tsuki. Even if she was hiding he could still sense her. He walked over and nodded to Jenna. Jenna smiled and waved to him. "Hi Kurama. Anything wrong?" she asked. Kurama shook his head. "No. Tsuki please come out." he asked. Tsuki growled and looked around from her seat. She sighed. "What?" she asked, getting out of her seat and walking over to the other side of her 'friend shield'.
"Gomen Koishii but Yoko was bothering me and we missed you. You were gone for almost three hours." he mumbled trying to find a good excuse. Tsuki narrowed her eyes. Sighing she motioned for Kurama to sit. Sitting in her original seat she made her way into her mates' mind.
---Explain. Now. -- She demanded knowing fully well that both Yoko and Kurama could hear her.
Kurama sighed. & WHERE WERE YOU!? I was worried!? You were gone so long. Never do that again!&
Ah. Gomen Tsuki. Yoko!
Tsuki physically and mentally sighed. ---Shut-up both of you.-- she ordered. It was the something neither had expected.
--Now listen and listen well. Next time just MENTALLY get in touch with me.-- she said, and pulled out from their mind.
Jenna had decided to leave during Kurama, Yoko, and Tsuki's talk. Tsuki sighed, grabbing her bags she left. Hoping to catch up with Jenna. Looking around she saw Jenna heading deeper into town, sighing she used she demonic speed and caught up in seconds. She accidentally left Kurama behind. Kurama sighed debating on rather to go back home or to follow them. He didn't want to be a bother but Yoko would bother the heck outta him if he didn't go with her.
Kurama smile slightly when he saw Jenna and Tsuki heading back his way. He continued to smile when he reached them. Jenna chuckled at Tsuki. "It wasn't very nice to leave your mate behind you know." she shunned her half-heartily.
Tsuki gave her a slight glare, ignoring Kurama for the moment. She taunted Jenna. "Oh? And leaving yours to pick on defenseless trees is any better?" she said, as they headed back toward Genkai's house. She hoped to keep the mood easy, before she announced her plans. Jenna stared at Tsuki for a moment a bit worried. Then she looked up and smiled. "Good thing I'm not that fond of trees." she said cheerfully.
Tsuki glared. "You forget. I am." she said, and picked up her pace. She realized that she didn't want the conversation to continue for some reason. Kurama just quietly followed behind blinking at their odd behaviors. Jenna jumped ahead and turned around. "I'm going ahead to find Hiei. See you there." she said before taking off with her demon speed.
Tsuki looked as Jenna past her, sighing she teleported back, again forgetting about her mate. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts she didn't realize that she was standing in front of Genkai's dojo. Looking up she sighed, and opened the sliding door. Kurama was losing his patients. This was the SECOND time she had forgotten him.
Tsuki was in the dojo going through some exercise routines with double blades, so she didn't sense Kurama's approach. The onna kitsune concentrated on getting to her maximum speed with the double swords, before she stopped. But sadly Kurama wasn't going to let her.
Jenna/Hiei
Hiei was busy tearing apart trees when Jenna arrived. "Why are you so angry Hiei?" she asked in a soft tone conserved for her mate.
Hiei stopped and looked at Jenna, putting down his sword he "Hned". Truth be told he didn't know why, he was just annoyed and wanted a stress reliever. Jenna smiled wrapping her arms around Hiei's waist placing her head on his shoulder. "So.... What are you going to do about Yukina?" she asked.
Hiei leaned his head on hers. "I..." He started but again he didn't have an answer, mainly why he was annoyed. Then he got an idea. "You're going to talk to her," he announced. Jenna's eyes widened. "Nani?!" she said staring at him. "Why me!? You're her brother."
Hiei shrugged and pulled her back to him, growling. "Because she will listen to you, or your onna friend. Respects you for some reason. " He added smirking. "Hmm.....So what am I suppose to tell her. No?" she asked.: Hiei nuzzled her hair. "Yes, tell her she can't." he said, picking her up he started walking toward the house, Jenna slightly blushing. Jenna smiled at Hiei. "Gomen Hiei but if I talk to her I might not say no."
Hiei stopped, almost dropping Jenna in the process of being shock. Glaring down at her. "Why?" he growled, Yukina can't fight; she would be walking into a death trap if she tried. "I want to know her reason first. She must have a good one to want to be a spirit detective and she's not completely defenseless. Her powers are strong all she needs is some training." she said as she hopped from his arms continuing to walk to the house. Hiei glared catching up to her he noticed the fox going into the dojo, shrugging he followed his mate inside the main house.
Tsuki/Kurama/Yoko
Tsuki spun around when she heard the sliding door snap closed. Kurama stood there with a smile on his face yet she could sense that his aura was different. It wasn't as clam as usual. Tsuki sheathed both swords and looked impassively at her mate. "Something wrong?" she asked, slightly concerned with his changed aura. "What's wrong with you? Your so distracted with your thoughts that you completely forget everything else." he growled a bit. Tsuki could tell that he was angry with her, yet a bit concerned.
Tsuki glared at the far wall. "You already know what's wrong. I'm distracted." she said, walking over to where the a few swords huge she placed the two she had been working with back. "Gomennasai, for it though, I didn't mean It." she whispered still not looking Kurama in the face.
Kurama seemed to calm a bit after her apology. "How long are you going to stay in here?" he asked sitting down.
"Tsuki sighed. "I'm not. I was going to the house to tell ya'll I have figured the rest of the riddle out." she said, still not telling him all, but he would find out later anyways. Shrugging she shrugging she started walking out the door. Kurama followed her. He was deeply worried for his mate but, there was nothing he could do. Not now at least.
Tsuki stopped a few paces short of the door; she could tell Kurama was worried. The air was thick with it. Sighing she ignored it, soon it would turn to being pissed she knew. Sighing she walked in and saw Hiei and Jenna watching TV. Smiling "Aww Kawaii." she giggled catching both Hiei's and Jenna's attention. Jenna smiled. "Isn't that what I say. Always knew I'd rub off on you Tsuki-chan.".
Tsuki shook her head and walked in, Kurama followed closing the door behind him. Leaning against the wall she sighed, 'Ears get ready to be screamed off' she though, laughing to her self. "I have good and bad news. What do ya want first?" she asked, catching everyone's attention. "The bad news." Jenna said looking over at Tsuki. She twisted around on the couch so she could see her better.
Tsuki smirked "I leaving. I'll be going to Spirit World for a while." she announced and waited for the shouts of protests to start. IF they didn't yell or shout she didn't care, whatever they did she was going. Jenna was again the first to speak up. "Nani?! Can't I go too? I'm not leaving you alone!" She said. Kurama soon joined in with his own words about 'How there was no way in hell she was going by herself.' Hiei interrupted them both by saying. "So what's the good news?"
Tsuki smiled at Hiei. "Good news I figured out the riddle, and I know of a place that Aemoh cant get to if we ever needed it." she said, ignoring her mates and her friend. Jenna slipped back into her seat arms crossed over her chest. "So...Where is the place and tell us the riddle." she mumbled.
Tsuki smiled, both Jenna and Kurama were still mad. " It doesn't make sense really. Blood red moon means harvest moon. 30 days from yesterday would be 30 days from the next harvest moon. That tells us when but not where. Then it said, when the ground flows with your family's blood, meaning he is probably going to pit us against one another or use reincarnations or our families. The next line is only then can I die. Meaning this will be the final battle. The place is Spirit World." she said, and waited for the information to sink in. Jenna looked at her before getting up. "So when are you going to train?"
"Tomorrow. I'm leaving tomorrow." she said, and headed up the stairs to her room. "Can I come?" she asked though it sounded like she wasn't going to take no for an answer. She followed her up the stairs waiting for her answer.
"No. You can stay here with Hiei." Tsuki answered, she was going to send Kurama to visit his human mother. Sighing she headed toward her door, wandering if her mate would say anything to her, or if they were to pissed too.
'Tsuki...Are we really still a team? It feels like were drifting. Like you're not my family anymore. Sometimes I wonder if our mates caused this. Or maybe Aemoh?' Jenna thought walking into her room disappointed in her sergeant sister's answer. Tsuki was thinking along the same lines. Though she had answers to her questions. ' Every time we try to be alone one of our mates come.' she thought and sensed Kurama out side her door.
Kurama sensed that Tsuki wasn't going to let him in but he still stayed outside her door. Turning into Yoko's demon fox form her curled up and fell asleep. Tsuki sighed; walking to her door she opened it. "Get off the floor, you're not a dog." she order and waited for her mate to do as requested. She opened her door wider so if he wanted he could enter. Yoko looked at her curiously but walked in.
Tsuki closed the door to her room and walked to her bed, waiting for her mate to speak first. For she sure as hell wasn't going to. If they were going to fight there was no way in hell she was going to start it. He just kept his mouth shut afraid of just doing that. He didn't want to fight with his mate. He hopped into the bed curling up.
Tsuki glared at her mate. "Say it I know you wish too." she order leaning against her headboard. If they were going to be this uncomfortable with talking with each other, then they might as well fight. He looked up at her staring. "Why are you so bitter?".
"I'm not. Just royally fed up with my father, or as you and everyone else knows him as, Aemoh." she answered and waited for his response. She hadn't even told Jenna that! So why did she tell him? His eyes widened. "I see." he muttered. Walking onto her lap her curled up. Tsuki was surprised to say the least. She thought for sure he would hate her for being Aemoh's daughter. 'No but he would hate me for something else.' she thought sadly, just thinking about it made her shiver, violently.
Yoko's head shot up. "What's wrong?" he asked feeling her shiver. Tsuki petted Yoko absently. "I don't...I don't know.... if I should say...." she said, trying to find the right words, but failing miserably. He purred nudging his head against her hand. "You don't have to tell Me." he said. Tsuki smiled and rubbed his ears. "I would if I didn't think you would hate me for it..." she said, trying to suppress another shiver going through her.
He licked her hand. "I could never hate you." he said reassuringly. Tsuki giggled. Looking at her mate she sighed. She moved him so she could lie down and waited for him to get re-settled before she told her story. He layed down looking at her exspectantly.
Tsuki sighed. "When I was little, was little and my family was still alive. My father, Aemoh, took something from me that could never be replaced." pausing she continued. " Aemoh used to beat my mother, though what she didn't know was that he beat me too." she rubbed his ears when she heard him growl "One day momma had taken my brother to visit grandma. She left me with Aemoh. I had been out playing...and had come in tried. So being eight, I just laid down on the couch and fell asleep." she paused, black water started pooling at her eyes. "I woke up to find that Aemoh was sleeping with me. I didn't think anything of it, and tried to get up. But he...he wouldn't let me. He started kissing me, licking me, especially my crescent moon on my forehead. It got worse until..." she stopped she couldn't say it she was fully crying now and hiccups came. Yoko transformed into his half way form hugging her to him. 'That bastard.' he growled in his head. A new rage for Aemoh and been awoken in both Kurama and Yoko. He stroked her head trying to sooth her.
Tsuki curled up into his chest, trying to calm down. She could feel her mates' anger, and it wasn't helping. She hadn't told them everything but was sure they got the picture. Finally, after a few minutes she calmed enough to speak again. "Mate?" she whispered, almost afraid to. Yoko Kurama looked down at her. "Yes?"
"I'm sorry." she said, and started pulling out of her mates' arms. "I'm sorry for all the worrying you had to do, and I'm sorry about this...and for not telling you anything." she apologized. He pulled her back nuzzling her neck. "Don't be sorry and at least you did tell me."
Tsuki sighed and relaxed. "I'm still leaving tomorrow." she said, "And you are going to visit your mother." she said, running her hands through his hair. "Hmm..." he said a bit distracted. Tsuki glared. "Oh? And I guess that means I never have to come back?" she asked, her mate nodded. Tsuki smirked; this was going to be fun!
Jenna
She laid sprawled across her bed staring at the ceiling in a daze. Her thoughts kept dwelling on Tsuki leaving and their fight with Aemoh. Sadness consuming her. 'I wonder if Hiei notices. Crap he probably will be here soon then.' she thought sitting up. Just as she thought that Hiei slipped into her room via window. "Jenna. What's Wrong?" he asked, slightly concerned by his normal mate, suddenly depressed. She smiled but he could tell she was forcing it a bit. 'Crap should have locked that window.' she thought. "It's nothing. I'm probably just tried." she mumbled laying back down.
Hiei narrowed his eyes. "Don't pick up the habit of that onna's. I know when something is wrong now tell Me." he said, closing the window and sitting on the chair next to her bed. Jenna buried her head in a pillow saying something Hiei couldn't hear.
Hiei got up and sat on Jenna's bed. He could tell it had something to do with the onna fox, but knew not what. "Tell me." he demanded. "My past is unraveling while my future is running out of rope. I'm stuck in-between." she said simply speaking in riddles. Hiei looked at her. "Jenna" he warned losing his patience Jenna leaned on Hiei's shoulder. "Gomen." She mumbled. "So do you still want me to talk to Yukina?" she asked.
"No I already did it." he said, pulling her into his lap. "When the Kitsunes wake up go talk to the onna. I'm sure she won't be leaving right away." said Hiei after a moment or two of silence. Knowing what was wrong with his mate. Jenna smiled. "Hai. I will.". She turned around to face him. "So what did you say to Yukina?" she asked brushing her fingers over her mark on his neck. Feeling cheered up.
Hiei with held a groaned. "I didn't Genkai and Botan did." he said smirking; he flipped her so that she was under him. Licking her he got off and headed toward his room. Hiei thought she wanted some time alone, why bother her? Jenna lay on her bed and glared at Hiei. 'When I'm depressed you bother me and when I'm feeling better you walk away. Oh well I do need some sleep.' she thought.
Hiei went to sleep after he heard Jenna's thoughts. A slight smile on his face, for the next morning.
Next Morning
Yoko Kurama woke up and yawned. He cuddled closer to Tsuki for warmth. Tsuki blinked when she felt the bed shift, opening her eyes fully she looked to find her mate in his Yoko and Kurama half way form. He had his arms wrapped tighten, not enough to hurt her, around her waist, with his face buried in her stomach. Smiling she noticed that she was propped up against her headboard, still smiling she rubbed her kitsunes' ears. Yoko Kurama growled softly opening one of his eyes. He smiled at Tsuki. "Morning."
Tsuki smiled back."Morning. " She leaned back against the head board, still rubbing his ears. She didn't even notice that he was purring.
His ears twitched and he purred louder. A smiled was pasted on his face. Tsuki snapped out of her thoughts when she heard her mate purring. Smiling she stopped, this time she was sure she heard him whine. "Mate, dear. Are you aware that you were purring?" she asked, trying to slip out of bed, knowing that if she didn't get out now, Her kitsune lover would never let her leave.
Yoko Kurama got out of bed as well. He just mumbled a response yawning once again and stretching.
Tsuki grinned, about to say something, when Jenna knocked on the door. Scowling Yoko Kurama changed into Kurama, who still looked a little mad. Tsuki shrugged and went to let her sister in.
Jenna smiled at Tsuki. "Your up late." she said a small grin on her face.
Tsuki rolled her eyes. "I had a male kitsune prob- EEP!!!" she finished in a cried as Yoko picked her up from behind. : "Yoko put me down!' Jenna laughed. "And I see you still do. I'll be down stairs plotting my mates punishment.". With that she walked downstairs giving Yoko and Tsuki a small wave. Tsuki glared at her retreating friend. "Traitor!" she called and Yoko pulled her back into her room. "Yoko-" she started but stopped when he kissed her.
Jenna/Hiei
Jenna lay on the couch downstairs still shaking with silent laughter as she heard Tsuki being silenced by Yoko. "And what is so funny?" asked Hiei as he walked down the stairs, still looking slightly sleepy. Jenna smirked. "Yoko and Tsuki." she said simply.
Hiei let laughter fill his eyes; he had seen the onna get silenced by the fox on his way down the stairs. "The fox is full of himself." the Koorime responded. "I take it you haven't got to talk with the onna yet?" he asked suddenly, know that she would be leaving today.
Jenna froze for a second before relaxing again. She closed her eyes saying "No, not yet but I will." She turned over on her side. "But then again who knows how long it will take for them to say goodbye." she said smiling. Hiei nodded and silently called out to the fox.
FOxes?
#$ What? #$ Replied Yoko sounding a bit annoyed.
Hai? Responded Kurama voice not as annoyed but not happy either.
Let the onna go. The Jenna wants to talk to her before she goes. Hiei said, not liking the mental glares he was receiving form Yoko.
/&Fine/&
Okay
Yoko gave Tsuki one last kiss before sending her downstairs while he took a shower. Tsuki looked at Yoko. "Are you sick?" she asked, her hand on the doorframe. Yoko had never willingly stopped making out with her before. She was worried. He shook his head. "I think Jenna wants to say good bye as well and also I have to leave to." he said walking down the hall. Tsuki raised an eyebrow, sighing she headed downstairs. Jenna was lying on the couch but sat up when Tsuki came down. "I'm shocked to say the least. Down so early?" she teased.
Tsuki blushed faintly. Grumbling about horny mates she smiled. "I see you haven't dyed anyone's hair lately Jenna dear." she purred, sitting down on the couch next to her friend. Jenna grinned and shot a glance at Hiei. "Orange looked so nice on him too but i guess he didn't like it. You think he'd like pink better?" Jenna asked ginning maliciously. Tsuki laughed lightly, when Hiei glared at her, clearing saying, "'Don't even try me.' Tsuki continued to laugh as Jenna smiles innocently. Calming herself she turned back to Jenna. "Was there something you wanted or can I sneak out now while Kurama is in the shower?" she asked.
"Just wanted to say bye and that you better keep in contact." Jenna said waving a finger warningly at Tsuki. Tsuki smiled. "Hai, Hai." she agreed stretching about to make a portal. "I'll only be gone a month." she mumbled the last part and started to make a portal. "You know I always worry. I am the older sister here I have to look after you." Jena said smiling.
Tsuki stopped. "I believe you are wrong there Jenna. Technically I'm older." she said and walked through her portal, it closing behind her. Jenna stuck out her tongue. "Says you." she mumbled flopping back no the couch. "So Hiei.......yellow or pink?" she asked grinning. Hiei glared. "Neither I won't have your 'sister' and her mate tie you to a tree with hell vines." he said, suppressing a shutter at the thought of having pink hair. He hated pink! "Fine. I'll just think of an even worse way to get back at you." she said walking up stairs.
Hiei shrugged as Kurama came down the stairs. "She left?" he asked.
Tsuki
Tsuki glared as the ogres pasted her, with out knocking she walked into Koenma's office. There she found Botan and Koenma arguing about something. Smirking to herself she let her aura flare then covered it up again once she was sure Koenma knew she was there. Looking up Koenma's face paled. "Tsuki-sama......How Nice to see you?" he greeted, very afraid of the kitsune before her. Tsuki was someone to fear, as was Jenna. But never separate the, it wasn't a good idea. Jenna kept Tsuki from killing people she disliked; Tsuki helped Jenna with the same.
Again Tsuki inwardly smirked, "Koenma I require a training room. Have you one?" she asked, and watched, as Koenma sent Botan to see if one was available. Big mistake. Tsuki approached the toddler's desk. "Koenma" she whispered her voice a deadly calm. "I am aware that you are trying to kill Aemoh." she sneered. "That is mine and Jenna's job alone. Understood. " She growled, her eyes flashing black before they went back to their molten gold. Koenma gulped and nodded meekly, "H-Hai." He manager to squeak.
Jenna/Hiei
Jenna lay in the tub soaking. She grinned plotting way to get Hiei. She hummed happily to herself as she got out. Hiei snoozed in the windowsill, half asleep half awake. Hiei heard his mate humming, but didn't think anything of it. He decided to check on the fox, who had come back early. His 'mother' hadn't been home, she left to visit relatives in America. Kurama was outside training. He didn't have anything else to do really.
Hiei walked to his friend. "I'm sure the onna wouldn't mind if you went to her." he said, jumping into a nearby tree. Kurama looked up at the tree Hiei was in. "You think?" he asked leaning against the tree. Hiei 'Hned'. Glazing down at his friend he smirked. The fox was head over heel for the onna and almost seemed lost with out her. Though it was the same for him, but he would never admit that. "Go." he said and headed off to gods know where. Kurama smiled.
What do you think Yoko? He asked even though he knew the answer. &Must you ask?& Kurama smiled and walked off to go to spirit world where he would find Tsuki. Jenna smirked when she saw Kurama walk of to find Tsuki. Shaking her head she turned around to find Hiei right behind her. "AAAAHHHH!!!!!!" she screamed, hurting both hers and Hiei's ears. She glared at him. "Hiei-chan must you always pop up out of nowhere?" she asked.
Hiei said nothing; pulling her to him he kissed her. Smirking against her lips as she moaned, then released her. Jenna glared. "That's it! I'm dying you pink!" she yelled, glaring. Hiei paled, and started to slowly back away. Jenna smirked; grabbing Hiei by his hair she dragged him to the kitchen, where she kept her dye.
Tsuki and Kurama
Botan smiled at Tsuki and showed her the way to the train wing, just then her communicator went off. Flicking it open she answered. "Moshi, Moshi, Botan here!" she greeted happily. Tsuki sweat dropped, this girl was way to hyper. "Ah. Konnichiwa Kurama!" she said missing Tsuki growl. Tsuki glared at the back of the spirit girl. 'Why the fuck is he calling her?' Tsuki thought her eyes having a hint of black in them. ((A/N: Tsuki is getting jealous!! , XD)). "Sure One portal coming up!" she said, but Tsuki reached out and grabbed Botan's arm. "I'll do it, go back to Koenma." She said, releasing the ferry girl. Botan nodded and left. Tsuki sighed and opened a portal, to which Kurama quickly entered. When he landed he saw a flaming Tsuki instead of a cheerful Botan. Tsuki growled, glaring at her mates she waited for an explanation. Kurama breathed in. "Konnichiwa Tsuki. Ano...I suppose your wondering why we are here... ano...I blame Yoko!!!" he said transforming into Yoko. Tsuki glared at Yoko, tapping her claws on her arm she waited. Yoko growled, 'Dammit Kurama!' he thought and mentally whimpered at the vocal lashing Tsuki was probably going to give him. "Well?" Tsuki asked, she was already ticked that they had followed her, now he was making her wait for a reason! "Well Kurama's mother was gone and the house was boring." He said as if it was no big deal. Tsuki glared and walked off, growling about 'damn kitsune mates that cant do anything with out her.' Yoko followed her even if she was in the mood to rip off his head. He came to stay with her and dammit he was going to! Tsuki came to a large metal door, forgetting about her mate for the moment, she opened the door. Walking in side she glared, now she wouldn't be able to train. She didn't want anyone there while she practiced her attacks. Growling she sat on the floor, for there was no chairs in the room. Yoko walked in, closed the door, and leaned against the wall. Tsuki sat there for a few moments too lost in her past to notice that it had actually been a few hours. The quiet was getting to Yoko. He coughed and knocked Tsuki out of her reminiscing. The onna kitsune's head snapped up at the sudden noise, glaring she saw it was her mate. "What?" she asked annoyed yet again, though not really realizing she was talking to Yoko. "You've been quiet for awhile. I thought you had came here to train." He said calmly. Tsuki glared. "I was." She growled, getting up she stretched, and walked to the door. Opening it she walked out, slamming it shut behind her. He sighed and slumped down. 'Guess she's still pissed. I'll just wait till morning.' He thought dozing off. Tsuki came back in a few moments later, sighing she walked over to Yoko. Shaking her head she picked him, he changed in his sleep, so now he was in his fox form. Grunting she walked out, Koenma had given her a room to stay in, looks like her mate would be staying too.
Jenna and Hiei
Jenna sat on the floor looking up at a bounded Hiei on top of the counter. "Now aren't you sorry Hiei?" she asked with a very amused look in her eye. Hiei glared at her, she had used on a Tsuki immobilizing spell so he couldn't even twitch. She hopped up holding a bottle of pink dye in her hands. "Now for your new look we'll have to find you a good nickname. How about Kyandi-kun? Your going to look like a piece of cotton candy anyway after I'm done." She said sitting next to him no the counter. Hiei glared.
Don't you dare onna!!
Ah my dear mate. You should have thought of that before pestering me.
.....Onna.......Dye me and I'll dye you white.
Do and I'll leave you.
Dye me, and I'm gone.
Well sayonara
....DAMMIT JENNA!!!!!! ...........DON'T!!!
Jenna sighed. "But....You deserve it!" she said poking him. Hiei glared.
So......? Take the spell off my mouth at least.
"Fine." She said and waved her hand. Hiei glared, "Why do I deserve to be dyed?" he asked, but instantly regretted it. Jenna smirked. An evil glint entered her eyes as she looked upon her mate. "Its not like I'm stabbing you." She said innocently. Hiei narrowed his eyes further making them look like slits, his jagon glowing under his bandana trying to break the spell that was placed on him. Jenna clinched her fist, tightening the spell that bond Hiei. "Now, now struggling will get you nowhere Kyandi-kun." "Hn." Hiei looked the other way, not liking being over powered by his mate. "If you apologize and be good. Maybe I won't dye you." She suggested talking to Hiei like he was a child. Hiei growled. "' Maybe?' ". "Yes 'Maybe'. Depends if you mean it or not." She responded stressing the 'maybe'. Hiei sighed, a first in a while. "Dammit I really don't like you.............Fine.........I'm...sorry." Hiei finished hurriedly. "And?" she asked grinning. Hiei turned and glared at his mate. "Onna...your pushing it......" he warned there was no way in Makai, that he apologizing and promising not to be himself. With that he jumped off the counter, and sped out the kitchen, making sure to burn the rest of the dye. Jenna glared after him yelling "Hiei!!!" Hiei flinched at the tone in his mate's voice. Sprinting into his room he sighed, he knew he would be sleeping in his room for a while. Downstairs Jenna sighed. 'So much for my fun. Your such a spoiled sport Hiei!' she thought going outside to train. Hiei watched from his window to make sure Jenna was okay dammit they might be mad at each other, but he was still her mate. Jenna stopped and turned around. She sent a death glare straight at him followed by an ice shard. Hiei's eyes widened as he dunked, the shard barely missed him. Jenna smiled to herself feeling a bit better. Hiei growled, right now he wish the fox was here. "At least Kurama has all his sanity." He mumbled and vanished going to checking on Yukina. He was back within seconds. Jenna was in the woods sitting on a rock. She had no interest in training so soon. Hiei easily found her, "Onna aren't you cold?" he asked, for it was midnight and the temperature had dropped to bellow 0. "No." was her short reply. Hiei inwardly flinched at her tone. Walking to her he sat next to her, though not saying anything for lack of words to say. Jenna glanced at him. "So why are you out here?" she asked keeping her cold tone. Hiei twitched. "I came to check on you. Beside its late and.............." He paused standing he started walking away. "I was sorry." With that he disappeared. Jenna smiled getting up as well. She transported to the house getting there before Hiei. Hiei slowly walked toward the temple, after he had gotten out of Jenna's sight he had slowed down. Finally he reached the door, that lead to the main house. Jenna was laying on the couch flipping through channels. Hiei raise his eyebrow, but said nothing. Instead he walked to a chair and sat on it, not trusting that Jenna had fully forgiven him, yet. "Don't worry Hiei-chan. Your forgiven." She said tossing him the remote. Hiei smirked and caught the abused item. Turning off the TV, he walked toward her, his eyes had a mischievous glow to them. Jenna looked at him wondering what in Makai he was going to do. Leaning down Hiei gently brushing his eyelashes against Jenna's closed Jagon. Jenna blushed and looked up at him still a bit curious. Hiei placed one of his legs between Jenna and the couch, without putting too much of his weight on Jenna. Putting his hands on her shoulder he held her down. Jenna continued to blush and blink. "Ano...Hiei..." she started to say but Hiei cut her off by kissing her. Jenna subconsciously placed her arms around Hiei's neck pulling him closer to her and deepening the kiss. Hiei smiled against her lips, nibbling them he asked for entrance to her mouth. Jenna moaned and Hiei took this chance to, further deepen the kiss. (a/n: hides behind friend don't kill me for the lame sentence. Jenna: Tsuki...I don't think they will kill you. At least I hope not then how am I supposed to finish this story! ) Hiei growled and started pulling away, but Jenna wouldn't let him. Jenna separated the kiss after a few more moments. Hiei breathed heavily, and pulled away from Jenna, but again Jenna wouldn't let him out of her hug. "Jenna....." He whispered, wanting his mate to release him or at least let him stand! Jenna let go allowing him to stand. Hiei smiled and picked her up, "I hate couches." Jenna just mumbled something and nudged against the mark on his neck. Hiei smiled, and jumped the staircase. He carried Jenna to his room. Once there they fell into a night of bliss. (A/N Jenna: TSUKI!!!!! How can you end it there!? grr......)
Tsuki and Yoko/Kurama
Tsuki woke up to her weight being shifted. Suddenly alert she started struggling. A familiar chuckle reached her ears. "Shhh. It's me, mate, Shhh." The deep voice reassured her. Tsuki stayed stiffened and opened her eyes. Golden ones stared back at her molten gold ones. Tsuki's widen before she realized whom it was she had jumped out of his arms and was growling. When she did realize whom it was she snarled and avoided his eyes. Yoko sighed. "STILL angry Tsuki?" he asked. Tsuki avoided his eyes; she wasn't saying anything unless Yoko bugged her about it, which he wouldn't. Yoko walked out the door and began to train ignoring Tsuki. Tsuki shrugged and began to meditate.
Hours later (A/N: Don't want to bore you people.)
Yoko sat beside Tsuki. "Tsuki?" he said. Tsuki didn't seem to hear him, for she made no noticeable motion. "Hey, Tsuki...?" he asked again. She whimpered, and clinched her fist. But other than that he made no motion that she had heard him. He shook her this time getting a bit worried for his mate. Tsuki's eyes snapped open revealing black orbs. "Tsuki?" he whispered still shaking her lightly. Tsuki whimpered and flung herself at Yoko hugging him tight as black tears rolled down her face. Yoko hugged her stroking her head trying to calm her. Tsuki sobbed in her mates' chest, she had just relived one of her worst memories, and it scared her. "What's wrong Koi?" he asked. Tsuki whimpered again, she didn't trust herself to speak; hopefully Yoko got the idea, and didn't take it the wrong way like he always did. Luckily Yoko was so worried about her he didn't really care. He just wanted her to stop crying. Tsuki's sobs subsided and she tried to pull away from Yoko, but sadly he wouldn't let her go. "Yoko?" "Hai?" he asked losing his grip so he could look at her. Tsuki avoided his eyes, "Are ......are you mad?" she asked, hesitation clear in her voice. Yoko smiled thinking of how cute she sounded. He nuzzled her hair. "No." He didn't know why but all of his anger seemed to vanish. Tsuki purred, "good." She said, standing she pulled him with her. Then she smirked, swiftly changing into her fox form she tackled him, yelping happily. Yoko smiled. "Glad to see you in higher spirits." He said stroking her fur. Tsuki yelped and licked him, sighing she got off and sat on the floor, while Yoko picked himself up. Purring she started to change into her humanoid form but found she couldn't. Her eyes widened as she yelped, trying to get Yoko's attention. He turned to her. "What's wrong?" he asked. Tsuki growled and chased her tail, running around yelping angrily.
--- Damn stupid shit fucked up Kami forsaken rules!!!!—Tsuki cursed in her mind.
&What is it?&
Are you okay?
The fox form of Tsuki turned and glared at Yoko.
---NO I'm NOT!!!!!! I can't change back!--- She mentally screamed at them.
&I'm leaving this to you Kurama&
With that Kurama replaced Yoko as Yoko left to sleep inside of his mind.
Kurama walked over to Tsuki's fox form trying to calm her. "Please calm down Tsuki. Please?" He pleaded. Tsuki nuzzled Kurama's face, she was mentally tired and didn't want to use a mind link. She hoped Kurama understood the gesture as an apologue. Luckily Kurama understood since he was more open-minded than Yoko. "I suppose you're tried?" he asked though it was more of a statement. Tsuki yawned her long canine fangs showing. Licking Kurama's cheek she settled down in his lap. He smiled at her rubbing her ears as she fell asleep. Tsuki purred in her sleep, snuggling closer to her mates' warm body. Kurama smiled and settled in for a mid-day rest.
Hiei and Jenna
Hiei woke up and glared at the sun. Slightly blushing, when he remembered what happened last night. Jenna snuggled closer to him in her sleep mumbling incoherent things. Hiei smiled running his fingers through Jenna's hair, leaning down he licked her ear, knowing that would wake her up. Jenna purred and opened an eye. "What?" she mumbled a bit groggy. Hiei smirked, "It's past noon." He answered. "So?" she replied curling up. Hiei continued to smirk as he leaned down as blew on her ear. "Do you remember what happened last night?" he asked. Jenna was quiet for a minute before a blush crossed her face. She still curled up more. "So? What dose that have to do with me getting up?" she asked glaring at him from under the covers. Pulling the covers down Hiei whispered again. "Well...we could get up...or have some fun?" he suggested. Jenna blushed once again and hopped out. Turning around she threw a pillow at him. "Hentai!" she yelled walking out. Hiei followed her; walking behind her he wrapped his arms around her waist, leaning against his mark on her neck. Licking it, he could feel the shivers that went down her spine. "Hiei..." she moaned, "Stop it." Hiei frowned. "No". "Why not?" she said. Hiei frowned as he licked and nibbled his mate's neck. "Because I don't want to." Hiei whined, nuzzling Jenna's hair, his arms tightening around Jenna's waist. Hiei released his mate only to turn her around and pull her into a passionate kiss. Jenna gave in and wrapped her arms around his neck. Hiei smiled. Jenna pulled out of the kiss giving Hiei a halfhearted glare. "We're never going to get any training done at this rate Hiei." Hiei nuzzled the side of her neck, "Not like we need to onna." Jenna sighed.' Dammit looks like I'm stuck' she thought. Hiei glared and released her, sensing she wasn't happy. "I'll be out training." She said but remembered she had to get dressed first so she went into her room. Hiei glared and walked out the house, he was dressed, and decided to start training. Jenna walked down stairs knowing that Hiei was probably angry with her. She yawned and walked outside wishing the sun wasn't so bright today. (A/n: Evil sun! Both hide un covers!) Hiei was warming up with his katana when Jenna finally reached the training area. "Want to spare?" she asked walking over to him holding both of her swords. Hiei sheathed his katana. "Hn" he replied. And with that the sparing match started.
Tsuki/Kurama
Botan came flying in on her oar and saw the two kitsunes asleep. She hopped off her oar and prodded Kurama with it. "Kurama-san Koenma would like to see you." She said. Kurama yawned opening his eyes to look up at Botan. "Alright." He said putting Tsuki on her bed and followed Botan out of the room. When the two left, Tsuki cracked open her eyes. Smirking she stretcher her front paws, jumping off the bed she transformed back into her humanoid form. But stopped in surprise, "Holy shit, that's weird." She mumbled, but shrugged it off. Sighing she changed into some different clothes and headed out of the room. Once in the hallway Tsuki spotted Botan. "Botan!" she called over to ferry girl. Who turned and smiled at Tsuki. "Hai Tsuki-san?" she answered and as stopped in front of the female kitsune. "Where did Kurama go?" she asked, looking at the pink-eyed spirit girl. "Oh, Koenma-sama asked Kurama-san if he would go check on Jenna-san and Hiei." She answered. "I was about to make a portal back to spirit world for him." She added as and after thought. Tsuki inwardly smirked. "No, please don't do that, Botan-san. I would rather not have him bothering my training if you know what I mean." She said, running her clawed hands through her bangs. Botan nodded though she didn't know why Tsuki didn't want Kurama there. But she wasn't about to question, Tsuki. Smiling she departed. Tsuki smiled, today was going to be peaceful!
