A/N: I'd like to start this chapter off by thanking SS-lover06, for reviewing. Now I know someone actually likes reading my story :p
Chapter 4
For a full minute it was completely silent in Koenma's office. Kaytari wanted to say something but she couldn't find her voice. Yusuke, on the other hand, didn't have a problem finding his.
"So you knew where she lived, but you made us do all that planning instead of just telling us to go to her house and bring her here? Do realize ho-"
"I didn't think to look for the seals at the time. I didn't even know her mother was in human world. The last time I heard anything about Naomi was when they found her body." Koenma said.
"So you knew her?" Kurama asked
"Yes, she and I were very close until she met her mate. Just before I lost contact with her, she came to tell me she was with child. That was when I gave her the seals. I told her to use them to protect her and her child if anything ever happened. That was the last time I saw her." He looked up at Kaytari. " I didn't even know that you were alive until yesterday."
Kaytari felt the tears coming so she closed her eyes. "I don't...she didn't want anyone to find me." She opened her eyes and turned to Daichi. "Why didn't she want anyone to find me?!" she yelled.
Daichi saw that the tears she was trying to hold back broke free. He reached out a hand to grab her arm but she knocked it away.
"Don't touch me dammit! You are the reason they couldn't find me!"
"It's not his fault, if I had been keeping better watch over human world I would have sensed those seals." Koenma admitted to Kaytari. "If anyone is to blame it's me," He finished.
Kaytari shook her head. "He puts up a barrier around the house." She then turned to face Daichi and noticed his puzzled look. "I can't believe you, you didn't want them to find me did you?"
"Kay, I wa-"
Slap
Kaytari wiped her eyes then turned toward the spirit detectives. "Which one of you wants to come stay with me?"
"I'll do it."
All eyes were on Kurama.
Hiei glared at Kurama. "You are the last person that should be staying with the girl."
Kurama turned to Yusuke and Kuwabara. "It's fine."
"You know I could go if you don't want to." Kuwabara said
"It's quite alright, I don't mind." Kurama said.
"Kurama will you need any help getting whatever it is you're bringing to my house?" Kaytari asked.
"A little, but Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei can help." He responded.
Kaytari turned to Koenma. "Can we go now?"
Koenma was about to was going to tell her about the training, but he decided against it. "You may go."
Koenma punched in some keys and a portal appeared next to his desk. Kaytari was the first to jump in and came out in an alley.
"What's with him and these alleys?" Yusuke said
Everyone filed out of the alley and on to one of the main sidewalks. Yusuke turned to Kaytari and Daichi. "So which one of you is coming with us, because we don't know where you two live." He asked.
"I'll go." Kaytari said.
Daichi didn't even spare her a glance before he turned around and started walking toward the house.
"Well we should hurry so we can be done before dark."Kurama said. He then began to led the group to his apartment.
It had been two hours. Kaytari had led the guys there the first time they came back. Kurama assured her that they could get there a second time without her help, so she stayed at the house. They had came and gone at least two times before she heard Kuwabara and Yusuke yelling at each other. She slowly stepped out of her room and walked down toward the room Kurama would be staying in. Just as she reached the door, she felt a flicker of demonic energy that made her take a couple of steps back. It flung open and Kurama came out, went downstairs and right out the front door.
Kaytari walked into the room and was shocked to see Yusuke and Kuwabara both bleeding and seemingly unconscious. She turned to Hiei and saw he was smirking. "What the hell happened in here?"
Hiei, who was leaning on the wall next to the window moved to stand in front of Kaytari. "Is Daichi here?"
"No, he went for a walk." She saw him take a couple of steps toward her. She tensed and took the same amount back. "What are you doing?"
Hiei narrowed his eyes at her. "Relax, I need you to come with me to find Kurama."
Kaytari calmed down. "You still didn't tell me what happened."
She thought he wasn't going to answer her because he walked right past her. When he got to the doorway he stopped. "Kurama lost his patience."
Kaytari followed Hiei out of the room. When she got to the door she paused. "Hiei, are we supposed to to leave them up there?"
Hiei suppressed the urge to roll his eyes. "They will be fine."
"If you say so." Kaytari stepped out of the house behind Hiei and closed the door. "Now how do we..." The last thing she expected to see when she turned around was exactly what she saw. Hiei's eyes were closed, his bandanna was in one hand and his jagan was glowing and moving wildly about.
Hiei had just located Kurama using his jagan, when he felt Kaytari staring at him. He focused his jagan on her. "You're staring."
Kaytari jumped a little. "Sorry."
Hiei opened his eyes and tied his bandanna. "He's at his apartment."
Kaytari nodded and they took off toward Kurama's place.
The minute they got there, Kaytari tensed up. Instinctively she grabbed Hiei's arm. "Will he attack me?"
Hiei pried her hand off of his arm. "If you provoke him."
Hiei led Kaytari into the apartment. Kaytari searched for possible escape routes, just in case things got out of hand. "There's a tree right outside that window, which is convenient, but I think the kitchen window is a little to small..."
"You will not jump out of any windows, you will stay here."
Kaytari turned to Hiei, unsure of if she should comment on how he knew what she was thinking, or him commanding her to not jump out of any windows. She didn't get a chance to think about it because the door to the bedroom opened, and out came a fox?
"Kurama?" Kaytari questioned
The fox shook his head. "Call me Youko." He walked up to Kaytari and Hiei.
Kaytari was confused, she thought they came here to get Kurama. Instead there's a tall fox with long white hair and a tail, named Youko. His energy is the same that she sensed at her house, right before Kurama left out. "Can we have Kurama back?" she asked.
Youko laughed. "No, you may not."
Kaytari put her hands on her hips. "Why the hell not?"
Youko narrowed his eyes at her, and Hiei grabbed Kaytari and pushed her behind him "Shut up, are you trying to get killed." he spat.
"Hiei, there's no need to be so rough with her." Youko stepped closer "You can leave that to me." He reached to grab at Kaytari.
Hiei blocked him using his katana. "No."
Youko winked at Kaytari. "I promise it won't hurt."
Kaytari blushed. "Hiei, I know you don't like me but maybe it would be best if you took watch over me. At least until Kurama comes back."
"No need. I am more than able to fulfill the duties of my counterpart as the bodyguard of the future goddess of fire." Youko announced.
Kaytari looked at Hiei to see if he would protest, but he simply hn'd and walked toward the window.
Hiei turned to look at Kaytari out of the corner of his eyes "If he gets out of hand, call me." Then he leaped out of the window.
Kaytari stood there wide eyed. "A telepath?"
"Nothing gets past you." Hiei responded "Remember what I said."
Kaytari turned to Youko. "So...how do we get back to my house without you being seen?"
Youko scooped Kaytari up into his arms. Immediately he felt her tense up. "Relax," he purred in her ear. "I won't hurt you." She nodded in response. He leaped out of the window and the second he touched the ground he took off running.
Back at Kay's house...
Daichi came in and immediately went to Kaytari's room. He was surprised to see it was empty. He went to the room that Kurama was staying in, to find it's only occupants passed out. He flicked the light on and they began to come to. He sat on the bed and calmly asked "Where are Hiei, Kurama, and Kay?"
Yusuke jumped up "She's not here?"
Daichi shook his head. "What happened?"
Yusuke yanked Kuwabara by the back of his shirt "Dammit Kuwabara, get up we gotta go find Kay!"
"The hell you mean you gotta find her?" Daichi said getting up and walking toward Yusuke.
Before Yusuke could respond, they heard the door open and close downstairs. Daichi was the first one out of the room and down the stairs. What greeted him was not what he expected. Kaytari was in the arms of the infamous, "Youko."
A/N: Uh-oh. How's Daichi gonna react to Kay after getting slapped? What made Kurama lose his cool? And Why is Youko making an appearance? Find out next chapter!!
