Hey I'm back again!
Chapter 21: More Secrets
"Koenma I was hoping you could help me locate him for me," Kurama stated plainly. "I can try, but if he's in the Makai it might take a while," he replied. "Can't you center in on his ki?"
"Um, that might help!" Koenma said feeling quite stupid. Koenma turned on the giant screen infront of his desk. Hfe locked the signal on Hiei's ki and began the search. They found Hiei walking to a bar in a city located in the Makai. "Thank you, I know where he is now," Kurrama said.
"No problem."
"I should be back in about two days, maybe less."
"Just be carefull," Koenma watched as Kurama left.
Meanwhile
Katana stared at the ceiling while she ate the ramen Botan had given her. Hiei. Why couldn't you have let me explain? Why? she thought. A tear streamed silentlly down her face. "Katana?" Botan said as she peeked in fron behind the door. "Yes?" she replied stifly. "Kurama just called."
"And?"
"Hiei's in the Makai. He's going to try and find him and explain everything." Katana nodded. " I wish he would just trust his love in me more," Katana was gazing out of the window tears still streaming down her face. "I could never love any one else."
"I know but Hiei's been betrayed by love before."
"I've also been betrayed by it before. My first lover, and who I thought to be the last. He left me for two reasons. One that I can't forgive, and one that I understand," Katana snapped.
"What where the reasons?"
" The first one was that I wouldn't have sex with him because I wasn't ready. And the second was that he found out that I was a hanyou."
"Those are stupid reasons to leave someone. Was there anything else?"
"Come to think of it there was. He had sighted another elf that was prettier than I was."
"Men. There all such pigs."
"No, just most. Hiei's not that way and that's one of the qualities I find most interesting."
"I'm so sorry I didn't know."
"It's ok. but I shouldn't have snapped at you like that." Botan left as Katana started a fresh wave of tears.
In the Makai
Kurama walked steadily the bar that Hiei had been seen walking to. He sat in a corner and began to search for Hiei's ki. "So what'll it be?" asked the bar tender. "Just a small brandy," Kurama replied. He found Hiei sittiong in the back. He picked up his glass and went to sit by him.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Hiei stated rather than asked in his flat tone. "Looking for yuo Kurama stated plainly. "Did that bitch send you?"
"No because she was to busy crying at the time. When she could finaly talk she explained why she was crying and went back to crying even harder. Not to mention all the mumbling that I couldn't decifer," Kurama replied rather calmly.
"I don't see why I can't kill the bastard, unless she really does love the other guy,"
"You can't kill him because he's Koenma," Kurama said heatedly.
"What the hell do you mean she's betothed to Koenma?"
"Exactly what I said. She tried to explain this to you, but you just had to storm out of the room."
"Damn"
"Damn is right. You better go see her."
"Yeah, where is she?"
"Botan's. Common I need to get there too. I was suppposed to be there three hours ago." They stood up and were about to leave when a B class demon walked up to them. "What are a couple of sexy demons like yourselves doing in this town?" the girl asked. "We're just leaving," said Kurama. "Oh common, let's go have some fun! I'va got a friend who might be interested in your friend," she tried to coax. "I'm sorry but we have to be leaving," Kurama said as politly as he could. He andHiei started walking again. "Not so fast! I said I wanted to have some fun," the demon said. "Sorry we're busy," Hiei stated edgily. "Not anymore!" the girl pulled out a sword and headed towards them. Kurama sighed. "Why did you have to come here?" he asked. Hiei shrugged his shoulders. The girl was almost on top of them before Hiei started powering up his dragon. As soon as his energy was out the girl began to tremble. Everyone in the bar sudenly went quiet. "You will let us pass, or you will die by the dragon of the Darkness flame."
"You're lying. The only person who has been known to harness the dragpn was that Hiei dude from the dark tournament," the girl said cockily. Hiei smirked, "I am Hiei." The girl started backing away. "Y-yeah, P-prove it," the demon said shakkilly. Hiei pulled off his headband. The girl let out a small cry. "I'm sorry I bothered you. Please go on," she said in absolute fear. Everyone watched as Hiei and Kurama left the building.
"Hiei, you should be more careful with your identity. You know there are quite a few bounties on our heads," Kurama said. "Hn," Hiei replied.
Botan's Apartment
Everyone except for Katana was sitting in the living room eating when they heared a knock on the door. "I'll get it!," said Botan in her usually bublly manner. She peeked out of the door. She stepped into the hall. "Hiei, are you ok?" she asked imidiatly. "Hn," he replied. "Botan, uh, Hiei's been drinking," Kurama said quietly. "I only had one drink and I am not drunk," Hiei stated plainy. "You would've had more if hadn't come," Kurama added. "Well come on, Katana's been staring into space since you left Kuraam. I think she cried all she could. You really mean a lot to her Hiei," Botan said then led them inside. "Hiei! Kurama! You're here!" exclaimed Yusuke, glad that there was another sain male in the room. "Hiei can you come help me in the kitchen?" Botan asked. He headed towards the kitchen without giving a reply. Botan closed the door behind her. "Common, Katana's in my room," Botan led Hiei to her room and opened the door. Hiei went inside. Kurama had been right, Katana really was a mess. "Katana," he whispered. Katana converted her eyes from the ceiling to Hiei. As if on que, Hiei ran over to Katana and put his arms around her. "I'm sorry, Katana. I should have listened," he told her looking deep into her eyes. "Apology accepted, but I have one thing to ask you. Will you help me convince my father to let me marry you?"
