A/N: Konichiwa readers! I hope the delay hasn't been too rough on anyone. My muse Hilu is doing a great job keeping me writing on this story… although he has abandoned my other story and has told me to do the same… so sad! Oh well I am getting yelled at to continue the story. Enjoy!

Chapter 7

Kirana dragged Kurama down the halls of Reikai headed straight for King Enma's office. Once they got there Kirana told the ogre who she was and that her and Kurama were here to talk to King Enma. The ogre went inside the office and returned a moment later and told Kirana that they could both go in and speak to the king. Kirana recognized that nothing had changed since she had been in there before, and that King Enma still made her nervous.

"King Enma, this is my brother Kurama, and we were wondering if he could stay with me here tonight so that we can know each other better," she said quickly.

Enma looked down at the little girl in front of him and observed how Kurama stood. He was right behind her and it was obvious he would do anything to protect this little girl. However he was concerned about what he would tell other people. Enma knew that Kirana would be a large target if anyone found out that she was alive, and he knew that Kurama might not know that.

"I will need to talk to your brother alone for a moment first Kirana. So you need to step outside so we can talk," Enma said calmly.

"Okay," Kirana replied and stepped out of the room.

Once Kirana was gone and the door shut again Enma motioned for Kurama to take a seat. He knew this conversation could be a long one. He could also see that Kurama was not happy about having to leave Kirana to someone else's care.

"You may maintain steady contact with Kirana and even stay here on occasion if you never mention to anyone why you are here. Kirana must never be known to the other worlds, for if she is we could all be in grave danger. As I'm sure you have noticed she is stronger than most full demon's her age, even many adult demons, and I am afraid that that power would be exploited. You must also never mention to her any of the Reikai Tantei, especially Hiei Jaganshi, I am afraid that if she knows that someone else possess an evil eye similar to hers she will be determined to meet him," Enma said. "So do we have a deal Kurama?"

"You know I would do anything for my sister, however I cannot do anything for her if I cannot see her. You have a deal King Enma. I will not speak of this conversation to Kirana, but I will tell you that her eye seems more powerful than anyone realizes. She can hear another's thoughts. I do not believe she has of yet figured out how to control it herself, however she has used it on me and on Botan. I will keep this conversation somewhere where she will not be able to find it. Working with Hiei was a bonus in this situation, for he has the same ability," Kurama said calmly.

"Then I see no problems with you staying in Reikai, however you must never shirk any of your duties to this realm or the duties you have to Yuske and his Reikai Tantei. Is this understood?" Enma asked him.

"Yes sir," Kurama answered.

"Go Kirana is waiting to hear the good news," King Enma said.

Kurama forced the conversation to the back of his mind and walked out the door to where Kirana was waiting for him. She was sitting in a chair talking to the ogre and he smiled. She really was very pretty. He knew he would do anything to protect her, even give up his own life.

"Kurama, what did King Enma say?" Kirana asked.

"He said I could stay, but I have to remember my family in Ningenkai, and my friends and job too," Kurama said making his answer as close to the truth as possible.

"Yeah! Let's go back to the room I want to know what I look like… how will I know what I look like? How can I see myself?" she asked curiously.

Kurama laughed and led her back to the room. He began rummaging through his bag and pulled out a mirror. He held it in front of Kirana and she gasped. He laughed again. He knew that this was a new experience for her and decided that she would have to transform to her demon form too so she would know just how different her two forms were from each other.

"Okay, Kirana, now that you know what your human form looks like, you should change to your other form so you will know what that form looks like too," he suggested.

So she did. Again she was shocked by the reflection, only this time it was because of the strange differences in her appearance. Then she focused again concentrating on only the traits she liked, and when she stopped concentrating it was Kurama who gasped in shock.
