Day 51

Y: I'm serious! There's something very powerful close by. 2 boys fallow him. They come to a corner of the room where a demoness is sitting at a table. She's sits there in a black dress with silver hair, wolf ears and tail, and orange eyes. She sits there alone, drink in hand, watching everyone.

KK: A girl! How can she be giving off so much power? She is very pretty though. I wonder who she is…

Y: I dare you to ask her ta dance Kuwabara!

KK: Are you crazy! She'll never dance with me!

Y: Give you $10! Besides we're supposed to be getting to know the competition anyway. It's fair game… and she's hot!

KK: he walks up to her. Hi there! Who might you be pretty girl?

O: She stares at him for a minute. You're not worth my time.

Y: How about me? Wanna dance?

O: You already have a human girlfriend. No cheating.

KK: She's cold! I bet Kurama couldn't even get through to her! She's worse then Hiei! I dare you Kurama!

K: Fine then. Since you two keep complaining, I'll get her to just give me her name. He slowly walks over. Hello…um… would it be too much trouble to give me your name?

O: And who might you be?

K: My name is Kurama. I'm on Team Urameshi.

O: Very well. You are the first to not be a jerk so I suppose telling you my name won't hurt. I'm Ino, from Team Tagoro. You seem to be a very interesting character, Kurama, why don't you sit? I'd like to know a bit more about you. Can I get you a drink?

K: um… no thanks.

O: You know, if you want to ask me to dance you should. The worst I could say is no.

K: How did you know that?

O: You're polite, for a demon; even if you are human.

K: You're a telepath.

O: That's only one of my many talents.

K: So that's why you're registration says unknown.

O: You've done your research. But that won't help you much.

K: Would you like to dance?

O: As you wish, fox. They walk over to the dance floor.

KK: How can she dance with Kurama and not me? How could she deny me?

Y: Cause you're an idiot. Now shut up, let's find something else to do. They walk off.

K: A slow dance song starts to play. He gently takes her hand in his, slight coloring crossing over his face.

O: What's the matter fox boy? You scared I might bite you? She takes his hand and places it on her waist. Then she places her other hand on his shoulder and starts to lead him.

K: He comes out of his thoughts and takes over leading. So you're the mysterious demoness I've been hearing about.

O: I'm afraid so, though I wish rumors wouldn't go around about me.

K: They said you were mated to Tagoro the Younger.

O: That's true… but its all line.

K: What do you mean?

O: We don't love each other. We had a small crush on each other in the beginning because we were amazed with the power the other held. But that died a while ago. We don't care for each other. He's… he's not my fox. He's not even a fox.

K: You're fox?

O: A long time ago I met a fox. He was very special to me, but he died. I didn't even get to say good bye never mind what I had truly wanted to tell him those many years ago.

K: You loved him, didn't you?

O: Yeah… but he's gone. He left me… left me alone in the dark. All alone. She puts her head on his shoulder.

K: I'm sorry to hear that. his grip on her hand tightens a little bit.

O: I know. You smell like roses…

K: I have a garden at home.

O: They are so sad.

K: Why?

O: My fox gave me one before he died… they make me think of him. I have not been able to forget him, and it's been so long… so very long… Perhaps you will change that…

K: I hope this doesn't sound like a line, but I think you're the most magnificent creature I've ever met. You're a mystery. You're orange eyes are like flames of eternal fire. And I am strangely drawn to you.

O: Many demons have tried to claim me, but you are the only one to have a dance. I'm sure you'll be swarmed by a hoard of male demons that are jealous. Do you think you can handle the pressure?

K: I believe I can. The song ends. Will I see you again?

O: If our teams clash, you certainly will.

K: Perhaps, under a different circumstance?

O: With what a rose you are, I'm sure you will.

K: I have a knack for plants, roses are my favorite.

O: So we have something in common. Although they make me think of the past, they are my favorite as well. I never want to forget him, even if what I remember makes me sad. I can also grow plants really well. She puts her hand in her hair and pulls out a red rose, she hands it to him. See you sometime soon, I hope. She smiles and disappears into the floor.

K: He stands there for a minute, holding the rose she gave him. I've never felt such emotion from anyone before. I must see her again. He leaves.

(Kurama / Hiei's room.)

he walks in humming to himself. He doesn't notice Hiei on the window sill until he hears his friend grunt. Oh, Hiei, I didn't know you were still awake.

H: Hn. Where have you been fox? We were supposed to be in our rooms half an hour ago.

K: Sorry, I didn't realize it was that late. I lost track of time.

H: For you of all people to be out after curfew is out of line. Where were you?

K: I was at the party for competitors.

H: Meet anyone worth our time?

K: I met… a slight blush creeps across his face and his eyes get a dreamy look in them. I met someone worth my time. It was a great party.

H: Something is obviously wrong with you. Who did you meet?

K: Someone very special…

H: You… met a girl didn't you?

K: You should've seen her Hiei. She's so beautiful…

H: Oh shit. Hello? he waves his hand in front of Kurama's face. Hello? Fox? Are you still here on earth or have you moved to cloud 9? Hello?

K: You might've liked her Hiei.

H: Who is she? Is she a fighter?

K: Yes.

H: Whose team is she on?

K: I can't wait to see her fighting skills in action. She's so powerful I'm sure watching her will be nice.

H: Who team is she on Kurama!

K: Such a beautiful wolf…

H: WHOSE TEAM IS SHE ON?

K: he sighs. Tagoro's.

H: What! So, you met Tagoro's bitch. Great. he rolls his eyes.

K: Hiei! That's not nice!

H: It's true. She's mated to Tagoro, the Younger. You shouldn't be near her, she's dangerous. There is almost no info on her at all. She is not a very nice female.

K: She's a beautiful dancer… so graceful and her eyes are so dreamy…

H: Oh. My. Gawd… KURAMA! ARE YOU SUICIDAL? YOU STUPID FOX! SHE COULD KILL YOU!

K: But Hiei, she's so pretty…

H: No! You idiot! Stop thinking that! The last time you fell in love you died because you were too distracted in battle watching her!

K: That was a long time ago Hiei. I never found her… I searched everywhere and there's not a trace of my love.

H: You don't even know if that woman loved you back! And what of this one? You don't know a thing about her other then where she's staying, who she's staying with and that she's a wolf demon! The woman you were with those many years ago was a wolf demon as well! Stay away from the wolves you stupid fox! You're gonna get yourself killed again!

K: I can't help the fact that they're both wolves. It's just a coincidence. And what's wrong with a fox loving a wolf? Nothing, it's not against the law.

H: Ino is a very dangerous demoness. I've seen her before, I don't remember where at the moment because I haven't seen her. But I do recall seeing someone that looks like her picture somewhere before.

K: I don't care what her past is, I like her. I'm pretty sure I love her.

H: What! Don't you dare say that!

K: I love her Hiei! What are you going to do about it? You can't do anything about my feelings for her! You can't take her away from me!

H: Why would I take her from you! I don't want her! I don't even know her! And neither do you! You know nothing about this woman!

K: That dance was enough to tell me about her.

H: You danced with her? You could be killed for that! Do you even know what you're getting yourself into? Tagoro can kill you for being with his mate! And that's legal! It's very common for a male to kill another for being with his mate! That's allowed no matter what the circumstances are! You could've just dug yourself a grave!

K: But I didn't. She said that she would take care of it; that I didn't need to worry about anything. She accepted my request for a dance, she could've said no. In fact, she offered to get me a drink.

H: Howly shit! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

K: No, Hiei. She offered to buy me a drink.

H: …

K: Hiei? He gently pokes Hiei in the shoulder.

H: THAT'S NOT NORMAL! Stay away from her Kurama!

K: What? No.

H: I'm serious Kurama! An invite like that is extremely dangerous!

K: I can't. I love her.

H: You've only known her for a few hours!

K: Seems like longer…

H: Kurama! You can't possibly be serious!

K: That's just it Hiei, I am.

H: You're insane!

K: There is no way I can possibly resist her. Her fiery eyes… her beautiful tail… her graceful movements… her silver hair… her soft ears…

H: NO! Stop with the description! I'm NOT listening to this! This is ridiculous! Stop talking about Tagoro's bitch damn you! Kurama changes into Youko

YK: You will stop referring to my lovely wolf as such right now Hiei! He looks pissed. Just because I found a girl I like and you don't doesn't mean I'm going to stop liking her! And just because I've only known her for a few hours doesn't mean I can't fall in love! I love her you pointy eyed, spike-haired midget! And there's nothing you can do about it! I love her so deal!

H: …

YK: Good night. Do not stay up too late pondering over this battle because you will lose the war. He walks to his bedroom and shuts the door.

H: …

(Ten minutes later)

…I just pissed Youko off, how very not smart of me… he sighs Oh well. Maybe he'll be all cooled down by morning. If not, I can just leave to go train in the woods or something. He goes to his room, shuts the door and goes to sleep.

(Owl / Tagoro's room)

O: She quietly slips through the door and heads for her room.

TB: Stop right there, mate. A light flicks on to reveal Tagoro sitting in a chair looking not so happy. Where have you been?

O: -oh shit, I've been caught.- I was at the party.

TB: How come you stayed so late?

O: I was enjoying my drink. Is there a problem with that?

TB: As long as you don't get drunk, I don't really care.

O: I would need to have a lot to get drunk. I only had 3 glasses.

TB: And how much is a lot on your standards?

O: The least amount would be 5.

TB: Did you meet anyone?
O: I saw a lot of demons, yes.

TB: Did you talk to anyone?

O: I talked to some idiots who thought they could invade my personal space. There was dancing, so obviously being female I was asked. What do you care?

TB: I care that you were dancing with the enemy!

O: Bullshit! You're not my mate! You can't tell me what to do!

TB: I AM your mate woman and I CAN tell you what to do!

O: Your stupid bite mark is the only thing that keeps us together! You don't love me and I don't love you!

TB: He can't do anything for you! He can't help a creature like you!

O: I don't care! I love him and you can't change that!

TB: You are forbidden to see him!

O: You can't do anything about that! I'm stronger then you!

TB: That may be but you can only use so much at one time! You CAN'T see him! He's the enemy! I'll beat it into you if I must! I am your mate! You must obey me!

O: I deny you!

TB: How dare you defy me! He hits her, sending her to the floor. I'll teach you how to behave the hard way! The nightmare begins.
