Chapter 8: Identity Revealed

The masked man was Mukuro. Hiei gave a slight gasp and blinked. It couldn't have been Mukuro. Wouldn't Kurama sense her when he was attacked?

Hiei decided to ask that exact question, "You were the one who hurt Kurama? But, why didn't Kurama sense you?"

Mukuro smirked, " Like I would send myself like that where I can easily be detected, I hired an assassin…"

The koormine glared, " Why did you want to kill Kurama?"

Mukuro laughed lightly and slowly kissed Hiei's lips. The kiss meant everything to Mukuro but nothing to Hiei. Hiei pulled back and shook his head.

Mukuro asked in a low tone, " Was I not pleasing enough?"

Hiei looked at Mukuro. He felt bad. Hiei loves Kurama but to break a heart again would be a little too much. So, he gathered all his confidence to say something.

The short demon coughed and said, " Mukuro…I can't do this…I mean, be with you…"

Mukuro stared and cried out, "But I love you!"

The guards reached the two and surrounded the demons. Hiei said nothing to Mukuro's confession. Hiei couldn't look at Mukuro. Hiei looked down. He was un-cuffed from the shackles he had worn. Hiei teleported Mukuro and himself out of the cell to outside of the prison. Hiei and Mukuro started to run off to lose the guards who were slowly making their way outside of the prison.

When Hiei and Mukuro reached a clearing, Hiei sighed and walked off, leaving Mukuro to herself. Hiei never knew how to help people in situations like these. He always cared only for himself and close friends. Of course, Mukuro was a close friend of his. He and Mukuro shared a bond of friendship.

Meanwhile at the Spirit World…

Kurama, Kuwabara and Yusuke stood in Koenma's office, grinning. The plan was all finalized and ready to ignite. Koenma looked up at the three with a look that read, ' What do you three want?'

Kurama finally spoke, " Koenma, I have a question."

Koenma mumbled, " Yes, Kurama?"

"Do you fancy anyone?"

Koenma grew red. Not with anger though. He was blushing! Kurama smirked. He had cornered him. Koenma gulped painfully and continued his 'paperwork'.

Kurama decided to go straight for the kill.

Kurama asked, " Ayame?"

Koenma grew more red and nodded, regretfully. Yusuke and Kuwabara gave each other high fives.
