Shiori sighed and shrugged. "I really don't know. I just just talking to Shuichii. He was about to leave when he just jumped on me and did those things that could have killed me... I don't really know what else to say doctor. I'm sorry..." she replied miserably, hanging her head as tears came to her eyes.

Kurama and Hiei both had to admit that the woman was a great actress.

"That's okay Shiori. That's all I need to know."

The journalist clicked away on his PC, and Hiei was about ready to burn that computer to nothing but oblivion.

Kurama sensed the demon's frustration. It'll be okay. Kurama told him telepathically. She'll get me to understand. That would be nice for you, too, hm? He grinned down at the small demon, who gave a small smile back.

Yes. I don't want that woman to make you suffer. You've had enough of suffering in your lifetime for ten thousand others.

Kurama shrugged and his face fell. I've gotten used to it.

Hiei was surprised with the answer, but didn't show it or even reply.

"Okay Shuichii, how about you? What do you have to say about this?"

Without hesitation, Kurama said: "Why don't you check for fingerprints?" He left it at that.

"Your fingerprints are on them Shuichii. I just want to know your side of the story. I have to be fair."

"You have to be, but do you want to be?"

Hiei grinned at the fox's cleverness. As usual, it was perfect.

He turned serious very quickly. "All right. I was simply visiting my mother, as usual. She had been seeming a little distant lately. I thought that the cause may have been the medicine, but I also thought it may have been something I told her a few days before."

"What did you tell her?"

"That I can't tell you."

"Why not?"

"Because it's very personal and secritive."

The doctor shrugged and sighed. "Just continue," he instructed.

"I left, as usual, and the next thing I get is a phone call from you saying that I tried to murder my mother."

The journalist continued typing.

"Is that it?" the doctor wondered.

"Yes. That's all I have to say, and it's the truth. I don't know if you'll believe me. I doubt you will, but at least I know when I'm telling the truth and lying. I can at least live with that."

"All right Shuichii, that is enough for today. I'll call some other time to pick into the more tiny stuff."

"That's it? And what tiny stuff? There is no tiny stuff about this." And with that, Kurama spun on his heel and left the room. Hiei scowled at all three of them, his Jagan threatening to glow, before he turned around and followed the fox.

Even when they were outside, the fox said nothing. He simply walked over to his car, got in, started the engine, and sat there. Hiei didn't join him this time. He didn't think the fox would mind.

Hiei flitted off to find a nice rooftop or treebranch to sit on and think. He was going to do something about that damn woman. Hiei had easily sensed the negative energy radiating off of her as they talked. That pissed him off. It was as she was possessed or something, because Hiei had been around her before, and never had she been like this. Would the fox be mad if he did something? He shrugged. He no longer cared. Besides, who said the fox even had to know?


Sorry for the short chapter guys! But if I added what I'm going to write for the next one on here, it'll end up being longer then I like. 1000 words per chapter is my liking. :)
