A Black Heart Chapter 17

Your POV

I wake up way before Hiei and quietly get out of bed I leave a not telling I had to leave early and then left. I had already planned with my sister to get to work on the things that need to get done before the tournament. Just as I reached the door Hiei talked in his sleep.

Hiei: Runa don't ever leave me please don't go. I looked at him I was going to be busy for the next few months but there was nothing I could do. Runa what can I do to make you stay? I looked over at him and then walked back and whispered to him in his sleep.

You: Love me Hiei and love me forever and I will never leave you. With that I see him smile as I move and this time go out the door knowing he would tell me someday but until then this was going to be an uncertain relationship. I go down the stairs to see that Nava is thing the kitchen make the two of us breakfast. Morning sister how did you sleep? She looked up and smiled and put a plate of firegrain toast and lava butter down followed but the usual demon's goat milk.

Nava: Good and how about you? I looked back up the stairs towards the rooms.

You: Good but with everything that is going to be going on we won't be able to spend much time together. She nods and sits down and I join her.

Nava: I know I really want to get to know Kurama better. We both sigh eat our breakfast when a portal appears. We watch as Botan walks out as quietly as she can and into the kitchen.

Botan: Good you are both awake and I see that you are eating when will you both me done? I looked down at my now empty plate and back to Botan.

You: I am ready to go do we need weapons? She nods and I close my eyes as my weapons come from my room to here. I grab them and put them on.

Botan: Wow that was cool. She then looks at Nava who had hers already.

Nava: I am good so let's go. With that we put the dishes into the sink and we leave thought the portal to get to work. When we get to the prince's office I look around paperwork everywhere as he starts to fill them out for the fighting to take place in a few months my mind was not able to focus at all but I could tell that Nava was having a hard time as well. He looks up to see us standing in front of him.

Koemna: Good you are hear I have the paperwork that I need for this meeting to convince that my team should enter and now it will be time to go visit the Black Book Club. I took several steps back not liking that name at all. Runa what is wrong? I looked at him if this tournament is being ran by them we are going to have problems in this tournament. I take some deep breathes and look at him again.

You: Nothing is wrong are you ready to go? He nods as we leave to start our job as being his bodyguards. I noticed that Botan was staying behind to make sure the other things got done as the portal appeared and we walked in and appeared in front of a door that was to a big stone house and I notice that the prince was in his teenage form for this meeting. He knocks on the door and someone answers I quickly recognized him he was the Younger Toguro brother. He looks at me and smiles.

Younger Toguro: Nice to see you again Lady Runa I see you have a new place to work. I nod as I glare at him.

You: It is nice to see you again as well and I see that you still work for the same people the BBC. He nods and walks aside so that we may come in.

Younger Toguro: This way please they are waiting for you. We follow but I was getting a strange feeling I look over at my sister and she nods as we put our hands on our weapons and walk a little closer to Koemna. We finally come to a double wooden door which Toguro opens for us. We walk in as he closes the door and takes a seat at the back. I smell the air and I smell him.

Voice: It is great that you were able to come Prince Koemna and it is great to see you again Lady Runa. I look at the place the voice is coming from and smile.

You: It is great to see or at least hear you gain Sakyo. A light comes on and there at the front is Sakyo smiling as I now glare at him. He smile to me became a glare as I could tell he wasn't happy to see me. Now Sakyo are you still not happy how is the horse I sold you it was one of my best horses. He glares at me more if that were possible.

Sakyo: I wouldn't know it broke out of its stall a few weeks after the sale and also tried to kill me when I went to harness it to the carriage. I nod and then look at him.

You: Sorry to hear that well like I tell all of my clients they are the toughest horse around. He nods and then turns to Koemna.

Sakyo: The people of Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Yusuke and a fifth fighter are to be at the tournament in five months Koemna and if they are not we start hunting and killing them and the people around them. Koemna nods and then turns to me and Nava.

Koemna: That is fine but I would like Runa to be the backup fighter just in case something happens. I look at Sakyo and he nods that he agrees.

Sakyo: That is fine but you guys better be there I have a team in the fighting and I have some fighters that wish to fight your team. Koemna nods as Toguro gets up and opens the door. See you at the tournament Prince Koemna. With that we leave and Toguro shows us to the door and then shuts it behind us. I look at Koemna confused and I had questions in my head.

You: Koemna this almost sounds like it was already set up. He walks to the portal waiting for him and he nods.

Koemna: It was we never had a choice in the matter. I looked at him angry at this but then I felt a hand on my shoulder.

Nava: Forget it sister what is done is done now we can only get ready. I nod and turn to him as we enter the office.

You: Koemna I request that I need time to train just in case they get no fifth fighter or one of them becomes unable to fight. He looks at me and nods.

Koemna: They were threatened by the Toguro brothers that if they didn't fight they would have their family killed and then they would be hunted down and killed. I looked at my sister and she nodded.

You: Me and Nava both agree that we both have an idea to make sure that you are safe and so are the guys but I need to go visit someone. He looks at me and nods.

Koemna: Who must you see? I look at my sister and she nods.

You: I must go see an old human friend by the name of Genkai? He looked shocked but nodded his head yes.

Koemna: Sure I will give you a portal right away but make sure that Yusuke doesn't see you there. I nod and a portal appears but I turn to my sister.

You: Get Blizzard and Dragon use to pulling the hitch and use to the harness and use to each other ok Nava and finish the paperwork on your end also get some of our old spirit animal friends they will be of great help. She nods as I leave to visit my old friend Genkai.

Hiei POV

I wake up to see that Runa is gone but there is a note with her smell on it. The note said she had to leave early for her work and she would see me as soon as she could I smell food and walk downstairs. I see that Yusuke is not talking like himself and he was packed to leave. I also notice that Kuwabara is quiet and not eating as much food.

You: Feels like someone died in here. I say to Kurama as he walked up and handed me my plate of food.

Kurama: Well Yusuke is going to Genkai's place to train and we are training Kuwabara but I think they are both shaken from the threat this morning about the tournament. I nodded I was shaken as well but we could only fight.

You: Any news from our wolves? He shakes his head no.

Kurama: Nava left me a note saying she had work that needed to get done but she would be back as soon as possible. I nod holding my note in my hand from Runa.

You: Same here we can only get ready and hope we are ready when the time comes. He nods as I start to eat. After a few minutes Yusuke gets up and grabs his bag.

Yusuke: See you guys in five months and I will have the fifth fighter as well. We all nod as a portal appears and he leaves. I look at the baka but he felt different he knew what was on the line and he was ready to try.

You: Lets go we have training to do. We all leave out the back door and head to a bamboo forest and start training. But both me and Kurama were thinking about the wolves worried and unsure.
