Chapter 7

The Next Morning

Kurama and Hiei lay intertwined in the single bed that was in the kitsune's
room. Fresh bite marks were on each of their necks. The first to stir was
the kitsune, he gazed down at his small mate. Yes, mate. Hiei had finally
become his and he Hiei's.

He kissed the koorime's cheek, red eyes opened sleepily.

"Morning, my little Hiei."

Hiei nuzzled closer to Kurama.

"I'm not little." He muttered sleepily. Kurama chuckled.

"Your right. You're not little. You're very very big." He smirked as a small
blush appeared on the demon's face. Whoever said Hiei was not modest would
be a liar.

"Hnnn…" They lay there for a while, each content with just being with
eachother. That is until Kurama realized the time.

"10:30?" He groaned, they were going to be late meeting the group at
Genkia's. He had one leg swung over the bed before he was pulled back by a
pair of strong arms.

"Hiei, let go. We're going to be late if we don't leave soon." He let go
reluctantly. Kurama bent down kissing the jaganshi before getting up to take
a shower.

He stopped at the bathroom door, it was conveniently connected to his room,
and turned to face Hiei.

"You can take a shower after me… or with." He smiled seductively before
walking in. Hiei lay there staring after his mate, in a blur the door
snapped shut and laughter could be heard from within.

"Bye Kaasan!"

"You better not forget to write!"

"Yes, Kaasan." He shut the door and let out a heavy sigh. Now he had to
write two letters at a time. What a jip!

He was wearing his regular green clothes and carrying a rather large trunk
that held all his belongings. It may look heavy and was heavy to anyone who
was normal but to Yusuke it was as light as a feather.

Yusuke went to the front of his apartment building and waited. He was
waiting for Kuwabara and Shizuru, who were going to pick him up and take him
to Genkia's.

He stood there cursing and glaring at anyone who dared even look at him. He
was not in his best mood. Today the mission began and he would be gone for a
year, plus he would be stuck with Kuwabara. Not that he hated him, he loved
the guy but damn, he could be so annoying at times.

The worst part were the clothes. He detested them.I mean, who in there right
mind would like them? Yusuke growled.

Ten minutes passed when a green car stopped in front of him. He walked up to
the car peered inside, the window rolled down to reveal none other than
Kuwabara who was looking quite sullen.

"Kid, get inside, or you'll be late!" Shizuru shouted over the radio,
ushering the teen in. Yusuke pushed his trunk into the seat next to him
leaving him pushed up against the window.

"You comfortable back there?" Asked Shizuru.

"Do I look comfortable to you!" Shouted Yusuke, she just laughed.

The car ride was relatively quite, besides the radio, but Kuwabara had yet
to speak. This seemed odd to Yusuke, usually Kuwabara ranted about how
pretty Yukina was when they were on their was to grandmas. But now he just
sat there looking out the window.

"Hey, idiot. What's wrong?"

"I am not an idiot, Urameshi!"

"Then why the hell are you so quiet!"

"khsdfbkb…." Mumbled the tall teen.

"What!" Shouted Yusuke, cupping his ear.

"Will you two both shut the fuck up! I'm tryin to drive here!" Shizuru said,
loudly, as she avoided crashing the car. Yusuke gripped the seat in front of
him tightly as Kuwabara did the same but to the dashboard.

"Watch where you're driving!" Both the teens shouted.

"And what the hell did you say! Or do I have to pound it out of ya!" Yusuke
shoved his fist in Kuwabara's face.

Kuwabara turned himself around so he was facing the detective fully and
shouted

"It's Eikichi! I can't take her! She'll be all alone and I can't take her!"
He fumed, eyes watery as if he was about to cry.

"I told you I'd take care of her, Kazuma." Shizuru said swurving.

"Why can't you take her? We could bring pets you know!"

"Botan said I shouldn't take her! She could get killed or-or lost!" He broke
down in tears and sat back into his seat. Yusuke just sat staring at him as
if he was an alien or he was crossdressing. He shivered at the thought.

"Then why are you so bummed out?"

"We're here!" Shizuru said, as she parked the car in front of the steps.

"I won't be able to see her!"

"Damn, you got it bad."

"Shut up Urameshi!"

The two Kuwabaras' got out of the car and started up the steps. Yusuke
though was trying to get his overly big trunk out of the car.

"Damn thing! Get OUT!" And he pulled the trunk out sending him flying back a
few feet.

Kuwabara walked up to him. "Urameshi, why do you have a trunk with you?"

A vein popped in Yusuke's head. "YOU IDIOT! YOUR SUPPOSED TO BRING ONE!"

"I know that! But why do you have it with you!" He yelled back.

"What do you mean?" He asked calmly, it appears he has mood swings.

"Well, Botan came and got mine so I wouldn't have to carry it around." He
said as if it was something everyone knew. "I thought she did that with
everyone."

If heads could explode than Yusuke's would have been a nuclear explosion.

"DAMN YOU BOTAN!"

"Well, we're only ten minutes late." Kurama said smiling down at his mate.
They, like Kuwabara, also had their bags taken by Botan. They were to be
retrieved by their owner when they reach the Rekai.

Kurama and Hiei were walking up the steps to the temple. There must have
been a thousand, because it would take a long time to just walk them.
Luckily the two demons were, well, demons so they walked those steps in only
a few minutes.

As they opened the doors to the temple they saw Kuwabara in a headlock done
by Yusuke, Shizuru talking to Genkia and Yukina walking in with a tray of
tea. She smiled softly as the two demons came into the room.

"Hello Kurama-san, Hiei-san. Would you like some tea?" She asked kindly
motioning for them to sit down.

"Oh, no thank you, Yukina-chan. It's almost time for us to leave." He said
politely, taking a seat across from Shizuru. Hiei flitted to the window
seat, perching himself in the usual way. Yukina smiled at him before leaving
to the kitchen.

With a pop Botan appeared with an extra long oar.

"Everyone hop on! We need to leave now for you to be able to make the
train!"

Yusuke grabbed the fairy girl by her collar, taking Botan by surprise. "Why
did you take the idiots stuff and not mine! I AM the leader of this thing!"

"She took our things too, Yusuke." Piped Kurama. Botan looked at him and
then Yusuke.

"Sorry, sorry! I just forgot! But don't you go get mad at me!" She said
firmly, yanking his hand from her.

"Kurama! You need to change into your Youko form now! Or you'll be late for
the train!" She said hopping back on the oar.

He sighed. Concentrating his ki, white smoke engulfed him. As the smoke
cleared, the form of Youko Kurama stood examining his long silver tail.

"I'll need to comb my tail soon..."
