As Hiei lay Pranx down she winced and Jinx looked her way. "Pranx are you okay?" She asked. Pranx nodded and laid down, Hiei stood there for a moment and jumped up to his sleeping spot. Jinx called for the hat and stopped the chasing and Yoko caught his breath.

"Jinx I think something happened at the spring. I am going to look around out there. Yoko you coming?" Troubla said. Yoko rose and followed Troubla to where the scent of blood was thick. "I think this is what I was sensing earlier."

Yoko looked at the dirt that was loose and then in the direction of the cave. "I think Hiei and Pranx went this way." He said and they followed the path to the cave where Hiei and Pranx scent was thick and the scent of mating. "I didn't think Hiei would do something like that."

"Me either…but glad it was him and not a dumb thief." Troubla said. Yoko sighed. "Oh yeah we are thieves and bandits…oops forgot about that for a minute." Jinx and Kuronue were sitting in camp when Hiei woke up; he glanced down to make sure Pranx was still there. Jinx and Kuronue looked at each other then back to Hiei. He jumped down and lay against Pranx and covered up under her blanket.

"I think they might be closer now. They must have mated out there by the spring. Bet Yoko and Troubla are too." Jinx said to Kuronue after Hiei had fallen asleep again. Kuronue looked down at her then over to Hiei and to the trees where the springs were.

"I think you might be right and by the way I think we are the only two still not mated…this was not supposed to happen. I mean what will your husbands think." Kuronue said knowing that Jinx was in no hurry to mate and reproduce with that rich kid. "Sorry I know you hate that guy."

"It's alright. I don't care 'cause I know the rich kid will never get me and I will never go back to him." Jinx said and cuddled up to Kuronue and said "I think that they will wait on us to mate before they want to continue… I think I will go to the springs tomorrow morning, how about you?"

"Yes I just might join you there tomorrow. I think you are right and they will not wish to continue until you are not in heat." Kuronue said. She was sleeping lightly against his chest and he was still wide awake. Yoko and Troubla showed up later and Kuronue was already asleep with Jinx against him.

"I don't get it they should have been first since they are the most intimate with one another. Look at the way they sleep. I mean I know he is really holding it back so it don't take over and hurt her." Yoko said. Troubla held her hand up to tell him to quiet down so they don't wake the others up. And they walked to the tree and slept against the base that night. Yoko woke when Jinx walked off for the springs, then a moment later Kuronue followed. "Hey Troubla…wake up"

"What is it." She asked. She rubbed her eyes and opened them. Yoko pointed to the trees and she saw Kuronue walking to the springs. She looked over and saw that Jinx was already gone, "I think today they will mate."

"Yeah me too." Yoko said

"Us too over here." Pranx said. Hiei and Pranx sat up from under the blanket. "They said they were today and then we would keep going to the north of Da Lemar." Hiei stood up and stretched. Yoko did the same. The girls screamed in shock.

"What is it?" Yoko asked.

"You two are the same height… wait Hiei is taller now. Oh my god how did this happen?" Pranx said. Hiei and Yoko stood face to face and Yoko was wide eyed. Hiei baffled by this change in height and weight. Later that day Jinx and Kuronue returned from the spring. "Did you two have fun?"

"Sister what are you talking about? We got cleaned up is all?" Jinx said.

"Right let me see your neck." Pranx said and Jinx did not shake. She pulled her collar down on the left. "Other side…" she showed the skin on the other side and no mark there either. "That is impossible."

"Told you Pranx." Jinx said. Kuronue smirked and walked off to pack some things. Hiei and Yoko walked over to talk to him about it.

"You marked her thigh didn't you?" Hiei said. Kuronue smirk dissipated.

"Maybe I did but you shouldn't care… why is everyone in our business today?" Kuronue asked and they backed off. Hiei was not as tall as Kuronue but almost and he could tell the height was not as important as weight. Hiei out weighed Kuronue by one or two pounds.

DUN DUN DUN…WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT...OH THE DRAMA, THE SUSPENSE...BWAHAHA KEEP READING AND FIND OUT.
