Shezka: Wow! I got more reviews than I expected on chapter one! Anyway, here's chapter two. Please read and review.
Hiei studied the letter than glared at Kurama who just shrugged. He had no idea something like this would have come up in all the years they had known each other. The fire demon was about to leave when Shiori walked in through the door. She had taken the day off so she could spend some time with her son. She wasn't surprised anymore to find Hiei in her son's room. Shiori smiled at him warmly than set some clean clothes on Kurama's bed.
"Good morning Hiei, care to join us for breakfast?" Shiori asked the fire demon before he could leave. He turned his head towards and for a moment Kurama was worried that he might tell his mother off.
"I suppose if it doesn't take up any of your family time with Shuichi." Hiei answered almost sounding polite.
"Okay then! I'll start making breakfast right away. What would you like?" Shiori asked him her smile widening.
"Whatever it is Shuichi eats." Hiei answered simply. Kurama's mother turned to him.
"Um, bacon and eggs?" Kurama said a bit taken aback Hiei was going to join them for breakfast.
"I'll make some pancakes as well." Shiori assured him with winking an eye at him.
After that she went downstairs. Kurama got his closed and ran into the bathroom to get ready for the day. When he came back out Hiei was sitting on his bed opening the letter. Not wanting to be rude, Kurama patiently sat at his desk waiting for him to finish. After about a minute or two Hiei silently handed it to him. Kurama took it without question and began to read.
My only son Hiei,
I know time hasn't been kind to you. I sincerely apologize for not being there to watch over you. You'll have to understand though I hold no regrets in leaving your mother. I only meant to be gone a few days. Not run away my son. When I came back it turned out she was dead. I miss Yukina dearly, but someone told me about how you didn't want her to know you're her older brother. Please meet me at Koenma's as soon as possible.
Your father,
Huroda Jaganshi
"These seems more important than eating breakfast with and my mother." Kurama said handing it back to him. Hiei burnt the letter and let the ashes blow out the window.
"I already gave my word to eat here. After that I'll go to Koenma's palace to meet him." Hiei answered rising and walking down the stairs. The smell of breakfast had gotten him hungry. Kurama followed feeling as if he was in a dream.
Hiei pondered on meeting his father while he ate. Shiori had a huge pile of pancakes ready for all three of them. Hiei actually ate half the stack before he fully stopped eating. He thanked her and left causing Kurama to think he had gone to spirit world. Twenty minutes later though he returned with a wind chime decorated with glass dolphins and a single white rose. Shiori was shocked at the thoughtfulness of the gifts. She happily accepted them and put the rose in its very own vase. Then proudly hung the wind chime on the porch for anyone passing the house to see.
"That was something I never saw you do." Kurama commented as they walked up to the palace. He felt his heart fluttering like a leaf in the wind. Hiei had asked him to come with him to meet his father.
"Hn." Hiei replied as they entered. Kurama smiled, but would not yet drop the subject.
"You really should stop by for dinner..."
"Shut up fox before I decide to tear your hair out and rip out your tongue." Hiei threatened him. Kurama went silent as they approached one of Koenma's servants.
They told him what they were there for and he informed them Koenma was in a meeting. The servant than escorted them to a comfortable waiting room furnished with comfortable couches and armchairs with books shelves all around filled to the brim with books. Kurama picked one out about foxes and setteled down in one of the armchairs. Hiei sat at the edge of a couch since there were no windowsills to sit at.
They weren't the only peolpe in the room. On the couch across from Hiei was a man sleeping with a thick blanket over him. He had black hair that could have been styled to look exactly like Hiei's with if you used plenty of hair gel. He wore a red headband and when he rolled over the blanket fell off. He had on black leather pant and black shirt with a red vest over it. He seemed about as tall as Kuwabara. Hiei paid him no heed what so ever.
"I told you, the west is strictly forbidden. My father as announced that several times in the past." Koenma informed a group of people who left his office growling under their breaths. That's when he noticed Hiei and Kurama.
"Well, better not keep you waiting. Your father has been waiting to meet you, Hiei." Koenma said as ogre led them in. They waited for about five minutes until Hiei was starting to get ticked off.
"Is he still asleep?" Koenma ased the ogre annoyed.
"Yes, do want me to wake him up?" The ogre asked politley. Koenma nodded and he left.
They all heard a thump than cursing from a unfamiliar voice. A minute or two later the ogre came sprinting back into the room. Behind him came the same man that had been sleeping across from Hiei. He was throughly ticked off now and obviously wide awake. He had red eyes that shined with fury. He skidded than leaped onto Koenma's desk who was screaming out orders at the top of his lungs. The man ignored them all than spotted the ogre off to the side. The man took a deep breath and blew at him. Fire came out of his mouth in a jet and nearly got the ogre if Hiei had leapt to his ready for the battle. Koenma was turning read in the face by now. The man noticed Hiei and turned his head towards him.
"Hiei, this is your father, Huroda the fire demon." Koenma said sourly as Huroda jumped down from the desk. Hiei slowly put away his katana shock echoeing in his mind.
"That was quiet an entrance. I had to say your first impression was an impressive one." Kurama said causing Hiei to smirk a bit. It had been some entrance.
"Well Hiei, don't expect me to leap for joy." Huroda said bowing to his son while aslo keeping his eyes on him.
