Last real chapter dearies. I just realized that I pulled an element out of an unrelated story in the form of a garish (but awesome) black with multi-coloured paisley bandana. I apologize. So I will fix it by saying she gave it to him during their time as fortune-tellers.

wolvesrain17 : no wings on my notebooks, they are definitely land-dwelling. I usually find them on the floor...{goes off to look on the floor}

once again, I own nothing but the plot and my OC's. I'd list them all, but there are just too many. The boys and other characters I borrowed from YYH will revert to normal after the story (and sequel) are over. XD please to read and review.

Kuwabara and Yukina were out in the garden talking softly. I slunk over and rubbed my new sister's leg like I was a regular tabby cat looking for attention.

She reached down and picked me up to look at my eyes. "Well, hello there."

Kuwabara noticed us staring at each other and reached out to scratch my head. "Aww! What a cute little kitty. What should we call her?"

Yukina set me down in her lap and rolled her eyes at the orange-haired doofus. "The cat is Pyro, my new sister. And, judging from the wounds on her leg, she was tested as Hiei's co-ruler today."

I rubbed her chin with my head before curling up on her lap.

"How can you tell, Kina?" The dope just had to go and prove how much he hadn't been paying attention over the last few days.

I just locked eyes with him and glared.

"Oh, that's how. Stop glaring at me please, Pyro." He looked away and shuddered. Then he looked back at me, angry all the sudden. "What did that little jerk do? You wouldn't just run for no reason."

I swatted at his hand. I didn't claw him, because he was being brotherly.

"I don't think that's it at all, Kazu." Yukina said, softly laughing at him yanking his hand out of my reach.

'I don't think I want to be a demon. I want to be human, so that I can stop fighting and go back to my friends.' I hoped at least my new sister could hear me.

'Oh, dear, they are pestering you to fight, aren't they, dear sister?' Yuknia's eyes went wide.

'Its all they wanna talk about! Kurama said they sent apologies, but they won't let up.' I gave the koorime a sad kitty look.

She suddenly pulled me up into a hug. 'They are only demons, Pyro-chan. They feel they have to test their strength.'

'They really need to lay off though.' I growled a little.

"Uh, what's going on?" Kuwabara asked, confused as hell.

I settled down on her lap again, and hid myself from Hiei's jagan. Yukina gave the idiot a run down of our conversation, then looked at me as worry slowly increased.

'My mate is looking for me.' I informed her as matter of factly as I could manage.

'Maybe you should let him find you.' She scanned the forest around us, as if searching for sign of her twin.

I put my paw on her hand. 'May I share my last few days with you?'

She nodded. A tear fell and crystallized when I'd finished sending her memories.

I patted her cheek with my paw. 'No tears, sis, please.'

She rubbed her eyes with her hand. 'Stay as long as you need, I'll stall my twin as long as I can.' She stood and carried me into the temple, explaining the problem to her pet baka as she went.

An all too familiar source of anger woke me.

"Where is my mate? I know she is here." Hiei's growl reached my earsit sounded like he was right outside the door.

"Brother, please. She needs this time alone, to come to terms with her new race. Three days, and not a moment of it to just process." Yukina's voice was softer, pleading.

"She never said..." Hiei's voice got soft, and I heard a thump, like he sat down hard on the floor. "It hurts, in my heart. I've been hurting since she ran away."

I mewed at the door. Yukina opened it. "Are you sure?" she asked.

I just moved to crawl into Hiei's lap. 'I'm here, love.'

He lifted me to face level. 'You left our guests. Without a word.'

I could sense Yukina making a retreat to give us privacy. 'I was having a really bad case of culture shock, dear. Its not like I've been a demon my whole life like you and Kurama.' I tapped his nose with my paw.

'You used to train yourself to exhaustion, how is this different?'

'I trained to protect the three worlds from the bitch getting her way. I did that. Fighting just to fight, it goes against everything I've believed in for years.'

'Is that why you got pissed? And reverted to your human form?'

'Put me down.'

He complied. As soon as his hands were clear, I shifted to my demon form. Thankfully, my dress was still on when I shifted back. My hair, not so much. "Honey, I have not had so much as a breather since I woke up three days ago. Its like, oh shit, I gotta fight. Then, oh shit, I gotta move again. Then, oh shit, I gotta play fight and NOT kill the demons cutting my mate." I sat down next to him. "I didn't ask for this. I don't want to be asked by everyone and their brother to fight. I don't give a shit who is stronger, I just care about keeping your spiky head on your shoulders."

"You should have told me, I would have excused you from the feast. I'm sorry, I should have asked when I felt your energy start to go into flux." he hugged me tight. "Can we go back now? I swear we will discuss this, and give you time off after we finish the political bullshit."

I nuzzled his shoulder. "I guess."

He picked me up and flitted us back to the castle.

The room fell silent when we walked back in and took our places again. Hiei sat. I remained standing, gathering my courage to make my announcement. I hate public speaking.

"Ok, listen up, because I will only say this once. The ONLY demon on my training schedule for the next month is my lord mate. I MIGHT start scheduling other demons after the month is up, but I make no promises, because up until a few days ago, I was a human witch who lived by the law of harm none. I WILL destroy anything that seeks to harm me and mine, but otherwise, I will not fight until I get used to this whole being a demon thing. That is all, you can go back to feasting." I glared around the room, daring someone to cross me.

"Forgive my rudeness." King Enki said after I'd sat back down. "I was not aware of the situation."

"All of demon world is either watching in fear or trying to kill me, but nobody seemed to notice when the bitch disappeared." I sighed, picking up my goblet and taking a drink.

Koku leaned around her mate. "Yusuke was worse when he tried to process the demon thing."

"I at least have the bitch's memories, which helps for things like this. Its just the getting used to the new way of doing things that is hard." I pushed the food around on my plate pretending to eat.

Hiei wasn't fooled. He reached over and snagged a choice tidbit off the large serving plate in front of us and held it to my mouth. "Eat please."

I allowed him to feed me the morsel. Several female sighs could be heard.

"Will you eat?" Hiei asked softly.

"I'm not hungry." I said, pushing my plate away.

He dragged the plate closer to himself. "Then I will be forced to feed you." He held another morsel to my lips. "Shifting forms like that uses a lot of energy that you must replace."

I gave him a crooked grin. "Our subjects think we're terribly cute, you feeding me and all."

"I would be a bad mate, and a worse lord, if I let my onna starve herself in a fit of pique." he continued to feed me for the rest of the feast.

The next day, for once, both of us slept in. I tried to sit up and stretch, but Hiei's arms locked tight around my waist. I giggled.

"If you are planning to run off to the human world as a tabby again, I will be displeased." He grumbled sleepily.

"You mean more than your usual displeased demeanor?" I teased. "Relax, love, I just wanted to stretch."

"Good. We have nothing to do today, and I wish to spend the time close to you."

I gasped. "Oh my dear gods, the world is ending. We have nothing to do."

He began to tickle my sides. He'd learned I was ticklish during our time as fortune-tellers, and used it to get me to shut up on more than one occasion.

I giggled and tried to squirm out of his reach. "Hiei! Stoppit!"

He stopped and half pinned me down. "I am allowed to take a day off every now and again. Especially when my mate goes crazy and decides to run off, on her own, as a cat."

I arched my eyebrow at him. "Being a cat was perfectly safe. If a certain silver fox hadn't been following me, I would have been completely anonymous."

"My sister knew who you were."

"Because she was close enough to see my eyes."

"She was very adamant that I leave you alone."

"You know I have to have some alone time when I need to process things. Did you forget that fast?"

He growled slightly. "I did not forget."

I kissed him hard. 'Then shut up about it.'

He quickly claimed dominance in the kiss.

We didn't show ourselves in the main areas of the castle till very late in the afternoon. I was walking through the front hall after talking to Maya about dinner.

"Hey! Finally! You two took your time to kiss and make up." Yusuke said, falling into step beside me.

"You're such an asshole, zombie." I rolled my eyes at him.

"And you are an emotional wreck of a flighty kitty. But at least your tantrums are quiet, I didn't even know you were gone until Kurama came back to apologize." Yusuke laughed and elbowed my ribs.

"Well, I had culture shock. I'm sure you remember your first days as a demon."

He heaved a huge sigh. "Yeah, except I was kinda off for a couple of years."

"I actually almost stayed a cat." I whispered.

He ruffled my hair. "You are such a cute little kitty." Yusuke grinned and gave me a lewd wink.

"Oi! Enough of that! Ew, perv." I shoved him a little.

I felt the ghost of the mental tirade Hiei launched at the former detective from several rooms away. Yusuke's face screwed up in pain.

"Please make your mate stop yelling at me." He fell to his knees from the force of Hiei's scolding.

"Hmmm, maybe." I rubbed invisible whiskers on my chin.

"Please?" The zombie's nose began to bleed heavily.

'Oni-sama, that's enough. You're going to make him bleed to death in our hall way.' I smirked at the zombie on the floor.

Yusuke slowly stood, and his nose stopped gushing. "Thanks. I, um, gotta go find Keiko..."

I giggled to myself watching him run off.

'Hn, baka. It is mating season for his kind.' Hiei's annoyed voice floated through my brain.

I rolled my eyes. 'Dumbass. He should know the schedule by now.' I wandered off to find my mate again.

Taadaa! The end! I'm proud of me! Review!
