Leiko shot up and yawned. I woke before Kurai! Yay! Revenge for the water! She got up and walked over to her friend, who was conveniently a few feet away from her.

Leiko was about to kick Kurai in the ribs when a hand shot out and grabbed the foot that was keeping her up.

"Will you ever give up?" Kurai's voice asked, she turned over and smirked. The wolf pulled her friend's leg, making her fall backwards with a loud 'thump'.

Leiko was now on her back, on the ground, growling in pain, muttering profanities under her breath, and trying to put a hex on the wolf.

Touya sat up slowly, as did Jin, who suddenly flew up into the sky.

The ice master raised an eyebrow at Leiko's position. Kurai explained the little 'game' they had…that Leiko always lost at.

Jin soon returned, looking refreshed. "There's a hot springs on the way. We'll stop there."

"Yay! Sulfuric hot springs!" Leiko exclaimed, jumping to her feet and running the -right- way to the springs.

Kurai hung her head in frustration. "She'll never learn not to run off!" She sprinted to the youkai in hopes of stopping her, but Leiko just ran faster.

Touya and Jin looked at each other and Jin shrugged. They both took off.

"Hot springs!" Leiko was about to jump straight in when Kurai caught her shirt. "No…one, you have to change, two, just shut up!" Kurai stated, shaking her head.

"Am I your babysitter or something?" Leiko shook her head yes.

"Let's go." Kurai dragged the girl to the changing area.

Just as they went in, Touya and Jin came out. Too bad…it was a part coed hot springs. There were rocks, but they were only about two feet tall. Let's just say they didn't block that much.

Leiko came outside in a towel. Kurai followed in suit. They both gasped, "T-There's no…n- blocking!" Leiko exclaimed, ready to run back in and change.

But Kurai had stopped her. "You wanted to come…your staying." Kurai growled, "Plus…they still have theirs towels on, which means we will keep ours."

Leiko looked back, yep; the men still wore their towels. "That has to be uncomfortable…"

The girls walked to their side. "Peek and I'll kill you." Leiko hissed, causing a shiver to run through the guy's spine. A scared shiver.

Touya looked away, Jin did too. "Good." Master Leiko was pleased.

"…"

Silence, no one really wanted to speak. "Kurai do you think…can you please?" Leiko begged her friend.

Kurai eyed the fox warily, "No."

"Aw! Come on! You're really good and…and…Please!" Leiko had put her arms up and enclosed her fist.

"Fine." She sighed. The guys were just trying to figure out what was going on.

"The shadows come from all around us

The darkness will… consume us all

The blood stained hands

From those among us

Will soon taint us all

The dying tears… The hearts are torn

The lust of blood… Comes to us all

The cries of fear

From all around

Will soon be heard by those

The nail torn flesh…

The darkest shadows

No one has... ever lived...

The shadows will... consume the souls

Of those who grow so close

That is the fate of the village..." Kurai's voice was beautiful. The guys gasped and Leiko smirked.

"Told ya." Leiko sang in sing-song tone, totally ruining the affect of the song.

"Hn…" Touya grunted. Leiko yawned, "We better get going, before I get all pruny." She got out of the water, making a disgusted face.

Kurai sighed and followed. After they had left, Touya and Jin started talking.

"So…Leiko tells me you kissed Kurai, is this true?" Touya asked, concealing the smirk that almost made its way to his face.

Jin grinned, one fang showing. "Ah…you have."

"Have you made a move on Leiko?" His friend asked.

"No." Touya bluntly stated. He got out of the hot springs and went to the changing room. Jin shrugged and changed also.

--

"We should stop here…" Kurai muttered. They had been running for well over two hours. This meant they were almost half way there since Touya and Jin thought they would be walking the whole way.

"Good…" Leiko fell down and closed her eyes, snoring lightly.

They rest followed in suit. How come they always seem to follow Leiko?

Something we will never know.

--

Leiko was the last to get up and she only woke up because Kurai had kicked her repeatedly until she did.

I have such a hard life! She mentally yelled at herself, rubbing her ribs slightly. "I'm going to have a bruise…"

"Get over it and come on before I kick you again!" Kurai yelled, they were already waiting for her, all packed and walking.

Leiko grumbled under her breath as she packed up her stuff and started walking. "…We should be there by late tonight." Touya stated.

"Yay!" Leiko yelled, jumping up-and-down in joy.

"Yeah…I won't have to put up with you as much. You make me worry." Kurai grumbled.

Leiko's eyes widened greatly, "You worry! Yay!"

"Leiko…worrying is not good. It could be to stressful." Touya deadpanned.

"B-but it proves she cares!" Leiko hugged Touya.

Kurai shrugged and started walking. Leiko was still arguing with Touya when Kurai came back and dragged her to go.

--

"Lets us in!" Leiko shouted, no one was answering.

"I bet their having hot monkey sex right now…" Leiko stated, shaking her head.

Touya's right eye twitched at that comment. "Leiko get you mind out of the gutter!" Kurai yelled, hitting her friend on the back of her head.

"Ow…"

"Hello, what can the spirit world do for you?" A very cheery, bubbly voice asked.

"We want to see…Koenma was it? Yeah him! Now!" Leiko ordered.

"Pushy. Oh! I remember you two! Jin the wind master and Touya, the ice master!"

Touya sharply shook his head and Jin grinned. "We're here to see Koenma-sama." Touya stated.

"Alright! But I need to go; I'll get Yuske and the others to help!" She flew off on her oar, leaving the four confused demons to contemplate what in the hell just happened.

"Yo!" A boy with slick backed hair, wearing a green uniform came up to them.

"Urameshi!" Jin and 'Urameshi' started chatting while the others showed up.

"That one with the orange hair…looks like a monkey." Leiko hissed to her friend. But of course Leiko can't whisper so everybody heard her.

"And who's the Kitsune!" The…Kitsune exclaimed, running up and hugging the fellow fox.

"I'm Youko Kurama-," "The Youko Kurama? Whoo Hoo! You like my hero!" She hugged him tighter.

"Thanks." He tried to pry her off, but to no avail. She felt a hand on her butt.

"You perv!" Leiko slapped the legendary thief and stormed off. Even if he didn't grope her she still would have been yelled at him.

"She scares me…" The black haired boy, Yusuke stated, pointing idiotically at the raging ball of fur known as Leiko.

The large boy with orange hair just nodded his agreement. Kurai shook her head in disappointment.

"Now she won't quit complaining that you grabbed her ass…" She stated bluntly, walk slowly for her long time friend, muttering profanities along the way.

"Hello Urameshi!" Jin yelled as if nothing had happened. He obviously was used to the girls'…odd behavior.

"Hey! Didn't think I'd see you so soon. How'd you get into the Rekai?" the black haired boy-formally known as Yusuke- ran up to his red haired demon friend.

With Leiko and Kurai somewhere-Kurai calming Leiko down while she was trying her hardest not to laugh- the boys had absolutely nothing to do as of the moment. Since the last time they all had met, the boys decided it was time for formal introductions. As soon as the girls came back, of course.

Just thirty minutes after they left, the two female demons ran back, surprising the males greatly. "YO!" Leiko screamed, putting her voice at a higher tone. This tone made the other Kitsune -Youko -wince.

"Ok, I believe you boys wanted a formal introduction?" Kurai asked nonchalantly, putting her fingerless gloved hand in her pockets.

"Yep, that they did!" Leiko exclaimed happily, clapping her hands. "I'm Leiko, the "Night Kitsune" I come from Hakege, the ruler of my lands was Raizen." She blinked.

"I'm Kurai; Formess from Yomi's territory is my home town. I have no clever name." She glanced at the grinning girl next to her. "But I am a wolf demon." Her gaze was steady as the mysterious wolf demon looked every male there in the eye.

Hiei just glared, turned, and walked away. "Wait Hiei! They introduced themselves, so it's only fair." Youko stated. A hidden meaning in his words and a sly glance towards the other fox, who glared back, fire in her eyes towards the craft fox, Kurai just laughed at their behavior, quickly diminishing the mood she had set.

"I am Youko Kurama. Legendary thief, currently "Borrowing" Shuichi's body…much to his disappointment," Youko stated, stealthily moving towards Leiko, who moved closed to Hiei, who glared at her in response, Kurai still laughing slightly, happy it wasn't happening to her.

"Get away from me." Hiei shoved the poor, unsuspecting girl towards Youko, earning a shriek as she clawed at his face and ran towards Touya.

"Help!" She put her head on the ice master's chest. Youko and Hiei raised an eyebrow at her actions.

"Your mate?" The legendary thief asked, pouting slightly.

"No." Touya deadpanned, pushing the girl slightly. She looked up with tearful eyes, lower lip out, making her look like a small child…with fox ears.

"Good!" Youko caught Leiko, who Touya pushed harder, making her stumble in to the awaiting demon's arms.

"Hello." He purred, making the demon blush.

"Well, I'm Yusuke Urameshi! Spirit detective." "Kazuma Kuwabara." "Hn…Hiei." The short one grunted, stuffing his hands in his pockets and looking the other way.

"Hiei…uhhh…Kurai, do you have any information on this particular fire demon?" Leiko looked questioningly at her friend.

"No…I've heard the name before though, you? I know you, you do, don't you?" Kurai stated, looking down on her friend, who was still in the perverted thief's arms.

"Hiei! Also known as Hiei Jaganashi, wielder of the Jagan eye, cheaply known as the third eyes, His true demon form: His skin turns green, he takes of that strip of cloth, and many eyes open on his body. The Jagan eye also helped him wield the "Dragon of the Darkness Flame!" an incinerating blow, that, when he first used it against Zeru, it turned him to ash…" Leiko said with a grin on her face, she sounded like a dictionary.

Youko raised an eyebrow and everyone, excluding Kurai, Youko, and Hiei, sweat-dropped. "That didn't sound like you." Kuwabara stated bluntly.

"I'm comfy! Youko your comfy!" The oblivious girl stated happily.

Youko smirked while-this time-everyone sweat-dropped at her stupidity. Leiko felt a push on the fabric of her baggy pants, and then a hand.

SMACK! Youko stumbled slightly, taken aback by her sudden actions. "Don't you dare ever touch me there!" She shouted, pointing an accusing finger at the perverted Kitsune. "Why me anyways?"

"Well, I haven't seen any other Foxes since that…Koto girl, but she didn't catch my eye." He shrugged.

"And I do? You're a fricken Spirit Fox! Go find some one else! I'm not interested in you!" She tried to smack him, but he caught her hand and rubbed it on his cheek, sending shivers down her spine and making her shudder.

"I want you to mate with me. Our kits will be strong and beautiful." Now Leiko's eye was full out twitching uncontrollably, and Kurai was on the ground, laughing.

Leiko glared at the wolf demon. "What's so funny?" Her voice full of malice and her eyes but mere slits as she glared at her rib clutching friend who was in tears from laughter, Hiei smirked.

"You guys!" Yusuke and Kuwabara were also laughing slightly, but no one could hear them over Kurai's laughter.

Leiko went over and kicked her non-stop laughing friend in the ribs multiple times. On the last kick Kurai got up and a brawl had started.

Kurai punched Leiko and Leiko kicked Kurai and it went in this order till they realized that they were doing the same kicks and punches and not blocking. Touya sighed while Jin cheered them on.

Finally Yusuke and Youko dragged them apart and headed for the palace to see Koenma. "So, Touya, Jin, what brings you here anyways?" Youko asked, pouting slightly as he dragged Kurai along, who stood perfectly still. He wanted to bring Leiko, but Yusuke didn't let him. He said something about "Dirty ole' fox."

"We are here to ask if Leiko can see a…psychiatrist." Touya mumbled.

The detectives gave Leiko an odd glance, but shook it off. "She…has…well; she needs to see a doctor any ways."

Kurai nodded, about to strangle Youko to make him let go of her. She huffed and dragged Leiko away from Yusuke, yelling at them that she wasn't going to murder "Youko's mate" which made Leiko angry.

'Knock.' 'Knock.' They walked into Lord Koenma's office. "Where is he?" Leiko deadpanned, looking around in search of him.

"He's right there." Yuske pointed to a stack of papers. Kurai and Leiko went behind them and saw a baby.

"Cu-u-u-u-u-u-t-e!" Leiko screamed, picking the child up and hugging him. Kurai hit Leiko and took the child in her arms. Again, they fought.

"Let go of me! I'm not a mere child! I'm centauries old. I'm Lord Koenma." Kurai dropped the baby back in his chair.

"You're not cute anymore…" Kurai stated bluntly turning on her heel, and walking towards the exit, placing her hands behind her head.

Leiko ran towards her friend, yelling, "Don't leave me!"

"I wouldn' t dream of it" Kurai rolled her eyes, continuing her way towards the door.

"I know you wouldn't!" Leiko latched herself onto the wolf, who glared at the fox. Youko sulked.

"Get the hell off of me!" she yelled, hitting her friend hard across the head. "Go latch

onto your little fox friend over there!"

"You pervert!" Leiko stormed off for the second time that day. Kurai rolled her eyes and walked out the large double doors.

The silver and black-haired kitsune crossed her arms proudly. "Don't worry, she won't get far." A few minutes later a scream was heard.

"Dammit! Why is it always a maze!" "See? I told you, she lasted longer this time…" Leiko contemplated.

"Did those two switch personalities?" Yusuke asked Kuwabara quietly.

"No, Kurai just sucks at directions. That's why I'm here!" Leiko punched the air.

"But you suck at directions too…" Touya stated.

The-very-angry female glared at him. "You did go the opposite way…" Jin pondered.

Youko and Hiei nodded. "You guys weren't there!" Leiko yelled, her eyes watering.

"Jin and or Touya!" Touya and Jin looked towards the door, there stood a fuming wolf.

"Wow…you found your way back!"

"What's that supposed to mean!" Kurai yelled, lunging towards the female fox.

"Eep! N-nothing, I meant nothing! Blame Touya!" Leiko hid behind Youko, who looked very pleased.

"Fine, I was going to do that anyways." The wolf whipped towards the two other demons. "You two didn't help me!"

"Sorry?" "You better be!" Next thing anyone knew Jin and Touya were on the ground, sporting very nasty lumps on their heads.

"Ow… " Yusuke and Kuwabara mumbled, wincing again.

"Yep… That's happened to me many times…" Leiko said, shuddering. "I'll make it better!" Youko hugged her.

"Help! Molestation! Rape! Child abuse!" Leiko tried squirming away, but to no avail.

"Dammit! Help!" Hiei finally helped the poor girl from the horny fox.

"Thank-you! I shall forever be in your debt!" She hugged the fire demon.

A sword was positioned to her neck. "Let go." She obeyed, but the katana didn't let up. "Y-you…you think you could…uh…not kill me?"

"Hiei…let the poor girl go." Koenma ordered, who had been watching the whole ordeal.. Hiei grunted, but he obeyed.

"Thank-you I shall be forever in your debt!" She went up the child, but looking at him made her laugh.

"Touya, Jin, why did you bring these two…demons with you?" His eye twitched uncontrollably.

Kurai crossed her arms and glared. "Why did you trail off there for a moment?" she said with a threat hinted in her voice.

"Nothing. Now why did you bring them?"

"Well, Leiko here has a blood lust. We brought her here to see your "doctor"." Jin stated cheerily.

"Ah...makes sense, but what about the other one?"

"I have my own personal things to take care of…" "In other words she doesn't want to leave Jin!" Leiko piped up, scaring a few detectives.

"What? No! I don't care if I leave him! I have things I need to care off!"

Leiko looked unconvinced but shrugged it off, worried she might not make it out of there with all of her limbs.

Jin just watched pathetically as the whole scene unfolded. Kurai left the room. "Lord Koenma, may we stay for a week?" Touya asked.

"Yes, I suppose so…Now please leave this office. I have papers to sign." Everyone left.

"What are you all doing here though?" Touya asked Yusuke and the other detectives.

"Youko appeared…so we ended up here."

--

"Damned Jin. Damned Leiko. Especially Damned Leiko!" Kurai was just walking about the palace.

"Aye there, no need to be...cursing so much." Kurai turned around to see a purple-mohawk adorning, tall, painted, accented man.

Her eyes twitched. "You smell of alcohol…and something else."

"I do?" He sniffed his arm. "I do."

"…"

--

"Youko I know your there! I'm not stupid!...ok…maybe I am, but that's not the point!" Youko came out of the shadows, smirking.

"I knew the mother of my kits would be strong." He took her hand and caressed his cheek with it.

"Rape… " She stated blandly. "Is this going to happen all week?"

"Until you say you'll be my mate." Leiko gagged.

"No! Are you in heat or something?" She deadpanned. Leiko had only been in heat once, and Kurai had locked the girl up for a good two months till the kitsune finally shut up. Let's just say without food, the heat went away very quickly. And the female lost twenty pounds!

"No." He looked like he was thinking for a second before. "Yeah…" Leiko disappeared.

--

"Those girls are…weird." Yusuke stated bluntly, walking with Jin, Touya, and Kuwabara.

"Yep." Kuwabara agreed, nodding.

"But they' re good people…uh…er demons." Jin defended, Touya nodded his agreement.

"Aww…is someone getting feelings for Leiko and Kurai? Don't trust them; we still know nothing about them yet."

"We can trust 'em!" "Yes, they really haven't done anything to harm us as of yet."

"They will, Leiko has…a bad aura." Kuwabara sounded serious.

"We know… "

--

"H-i-i-i-i-e-e-e-e-e-i-i-i-i-i-i-i!" Leiko screamed, running through the palace halls.

"What?" His grumpy voice interrupted another scream she was about to emit. Cold steel pressed into her back.

"One, quit killing me, please? And two, help! Youko is in heat! He's going to molest me! And then I'll have to bear his children while being his sex slave! And he'll-," Hiei motioned for her to shut up by pressing his sword harder.

"I don't want to know any kinky things that fox has up his sleeve…" He growled. Leiko let out another 'meep', her eyes widening greatly.

"Sa-a-a-a-ave me-e-e-e-e!" she hid behind the very pissed off fire demon as Youko appeared where she was just standing.

"Leiko!" Youko greeted happily. It scared Hiei greatly.

"Get…away." She shuddered behind Hiei, crouching slightly to hide fully behind him, glaring at the fox.

Youko pouted slightly. "Leiko-chan." "Go away." Hiei finished angrily, walking away from the very frightened girl.

"Go annoy Kurai!" Leiko ran away screaming, waving her hands in panic.

"Oh, that's why we have you though." Hiei grunted.

"I don't annoy her!" Yuske-who just walked through the door-laughed along with Jin and Kuwabara.

Leiko growled and stormed off, steam rising from her body. "How many times does she do that in a day?" Kuwabara asked.

"A lot." Touya stated simply, him and Jin just shrugged off her behavior as 'normal'.

--

It was now dinner time in the Rekai palace. Kurai was still trying to figure out Botan's cheery, full of life, happy-go-lucky attitude. While Leiko was cowering in fear of Youko, behind Hiei, who was a very pissed of little demon, yes he was.

"Get off of me." The fire demon growled, shaking his shoulder to get the Kitsune off.

"Not until you kill that fox…" She hissed behind his ear, but being Leiko she can't whisper so Youko heard and moved closer to her.

"Kurai!" Her voice was high and squeaky as she lunged for her friend, desperately trying to hide.

"No…I know what you want. N. O." it was very easy for her to deny her friend after years of begging.

"Please? Just till I can hide?" "Fine." She put her hands up and lunged towards Youko, he stopped moving.

Hiei looked suspicious while Kuwabara and Yuske just poked Youko, who seemed to have smoke coming out of his ears as Leiko stuck her tongue out and ran away.

Kurai opened her hands which were clenched tightly, "Sorry, 'bout that, Leiko is always trying to get away that way…she never thinks about me!" She said the last part rather loudly.

"I do too! Eep!" Leiko squeaked as she ran out of her hiding place behind the column.

Youko wasn't following her, he was staring at Kurai. "What were those…things binding me?"

"A trade secret." "She has strings! They are so cool!" Leiko exclaimed, unafraid of the "evil" Youkai known as Youko Kurama.

"Yes, and you? Higher demons don't usually converse with lower classes, what is your power?" Leiko smirked while Kurai just shook her head.

"I am the 'Night Kitsune' my powers evolve from the night." She purred the words out easily.

Kurai growled. "Leiko. Shut up…I don't want you massacring everyone in here."

Leiko pouted.
