Shezka: Sorry I took so long! School started and I have to wake up extra early just to get some typing in for this story! Anyway, read and enjoy.

Hiei didn't bow in return after his father had straightened up. Kurama bowed though more out of being polite than anything else. Koenma seemed proud of himself as if he had found Hiei's father. Huroda carried the same aurora Hiei did where ever he was. An emotionless face and a quiet demeanor that told you to remain silent at all times. Hiei locked eyes with him, but the taller fire demon broke the gaze to speak to Koenma.

"You have my undying gratitude for reuniting me with my son." Huroda thanked him not being some one who said thank you straight out.

"Don't expect the same from me." Hiei said as Koenma was about to probably say something to him. Huroda walked right out the door with his son and Kurama right behind him. When he was sure that all three of them were alone he turned to talk.

"So Hiei, gotta girlfriend already?" Huroda asked mistaking Kurama for a girl.

"Believe it or not I don't have a girlfriend. Kurama is just my partner in crime." Hiei answered as Kurama blushed a bit at being mistaken for a girl.

"Of course he is. How fairs Yukina?" Huroda asked as they began to walk side by side with Kurama in tow.

"She's still breathing if you must know." Hiei answered disliking his father every minute. After all, he had been the one to abandon him, Yukina, and mother to survive all on their own. Huroda went silent a few more minutes to say if his son had any questions. Nothing happened so he decided to start off again.

"Aren't you glad to see your old man? I mean come on, it's been some time since I've seen you! The last time we were together you were drinking from a bottle and were only three hours old." Huroda said excitedly breaking his oath to let his son open up. Deep down he had missed all three very much the last couple of years.

"Why would you like to know?" Hiei shot at him his temper rising along with some age old feelings he had thought he had left behind some time ago. The taller fire demon was taken aback by this sudden question.

Just as he regained his composure loud voices could be heard. Hiei stop paying attention to his father and turned his head. Coming towards them was Yusuke and Kuwabara talking about who knows what. With Botan walking with them from the side to say a thing here and there. It had only been at least a month or two after the Makai tournament. They all ended up meeting here more out of habit now days. When Yusuke spotted them he waved along with Kuwabara as they walked up.

"Hey! If it isn't my favorite three eyed demon! And who are the heck are you?" Yusuke said staring at Huroda in confusion. Kuwabara instantly wanted to know who this guy was to. Botan already knew and shyly nodded as the fire demon took a step back to take this all in.

"Friends or enemies?" Huroda growled suddenly alert he took a defensive stance. Fire demons were known to be very cautious except with their own family and friends. Since Kurama had already been with Hiei he had been relaxed around him. These newcomers were not welcome; he had already made an exception for Botan. This had tried his nerves already.

"Friends, they're quiet nice once you get to know them." Kurama said casually saving the day. Still, when Yusuke held out his hand to shake Huroda's he blew a small stream of fire which made him back up. Hiei was amused at his father's reaction to meeting the spirit detective and the rest of the team.

"Calm down hot shot! I just wanted to say hi." Yusuke said getting annoyed with him.

"The name is Huroda, not hot shot. But you can simply sir you pathetic ingrate." Huroda snarled as Hiei was observing all this.

"Aren't you supposed to be the runt's dad or something?" Kuwabara asked right out of the blue. Huroda had had a enough of this already.

He seemed to fall backwards on purpose. Instead, Huroda fell onto to his hands. With his feet in the air he used them to kick Kuwabara right in the stomach causing the big man to lose his breath and stumble back. Yusuke responded with an attack of his own. He threw a punch down at Huroda wanting to instantly pound him into the ground for hurting his friend. Instead the fire demon caught the spirit detective's hand and threw him over his head at Hiei's feet in one smooth motion.

"An inexperienced warrior such as you shouldn't challenge one with as much experience as me." Huroda advised him rising to his feet proudly like a king. Which he wasn't exactly, but he was a ruler of sorts.

"Please, there really is no need to start fighting amongst ourselves." Kurama said gently pushing himself in between Huroda and Yusuke since the two seemed about to kill each other.

"Well father, you can hold your own in a fight." Hiei commented walking around the group to go who knows where. Huroda quickly followed his son closely behind.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Huroda demanded angrily.

"That you were a coward."
