Ride like the Wind
Chapter 58

"HEY BITCH! OPEN THE GODDAMN DOOR!" Yusuke kicked on Hiei's door.

"I think he's out in the fields. He's kinda busy like that," Koenma sighed.

"Shut up!" Yusuke pounded on the door.

"It's your loss."

Hiei finally opened the door when Yusuke was about to kick it open causing the demon slayer to go down and do the splits.

"AUGH! I've never done this before and it hurts!" Yusuke screamed as Kuwabara helped him up.

"What do you want?" Hiei growled.

"We're going to London to save Kurama and Mukuro and all them from Zeru. He sent me a letter cause he's my teacher. He told me he was going there," Kuwabara explained their presence.

"Kurama's a big boy and Mukuro would just kick his ass."

"Didn't you ever wish you could have at it with Zeru even once? Now's your chance."

"Fine. I'll go. Just to see Kurama and Mukuro since they say they'll never come back." Hiei sighed after a moment's hesitation.

---

"So why'd it take so long to get here?" Yusuke asked. He rubbed his hand together to keep them warm. "Damn it's cold. And I came from New York and Boston."

"I... Just had to get some permission first. It's no big deal." Koenma replied. He looked around at his surroundings. "We'll split up. Just so we can get to know the place better. We'll meet at the empty building off of Oxford and Hamilton. Split up, gang!"

"Not so fast!" Hiei growled. "If we meet Zeru we can kill him, right?"

"Sure. But be quiet about it. British police are on the alert. Just don't think that because you're in a country ruled by a queen they won't put you in the man jail. Cause they will! They know where you live, Hiei Jaganshi!"

"Whatever."

So they split up. Hiei grumbled under his breath as he walked down the street. Goddamn it all. Why did I have to listen to them and go through with this? I should've stayed home.

He bumped into someone. "Move it, dumb ass."

"What the hell...? Hiei?!" Hiei then realized it was Yomi who had this look on his face like he was hit in the head with a frying pan. Then again, he wouldn't be surprised if he had been. "What are you..? Shouldn't you be... In... Chile, is it?"

"You idiot! I'm Mexican!"

"Oh. Well, you people south of the border are all the same to me anyway. Dark skinned and farmers and the like. But what are you doing here? Out to terrorize Mukuro once again?"

"No, I'm after some exorcist. He's over here..."

Yomi sighed irritably. "Not that again. It's his job! You don't stop me from amputating limbs do you? No. I do my job. Let him do his."

"Even if it's at your wife's cost?"

"Do I look happy and cheerful?"

"You never do. But that has nothing to do with it. Would you risk her life for it? I'm assuming no judging on how you acted before. So, no, Yomi I won't let him do his job because he could cause Kurama's death too."

"You mean that little homosexual boy that prances around with flowers? I frankly could care less. And I thought you loved Mukuro. Can't you decide?"

"Shut up, Yomi. You don't give a damn about anyone but yourself do you?"

"Coming from the man who gave Mukuro ulcers!"

"And what about your son!"

"What about him?"

"Screw you. I bet you'd kill them both with your own hands if you had the chance."

"If you need me, I'm down the street from the old church. You can kill me any time. But my son will have something to say about that once he finds out."

"You aren't a father to him." Hiei would have smacked the guy but he didn't. He didn't know why he didn't do it. He just didn't. He swore the guy deserved it but he couldn't.

—

Time passed. They met at the old church.

"Before we go in, I met Yomi. He said he was looking for his son who hasn't been home in three days. Have any one you seen him? He looks kinda like Yomi. You can't miss him. He sticks out like a sore thumb in crowds," Koenma said. He looked at the three other boys and sighed when they gave him deer in the highlights looks. "Never mind then... In we go..."

"Hold it!" Yusuke pointed to a pew as soon as they walked in. "There's a kid in here! And he... Oh. Found Yomi's brat." The other three looked over and sure enough, Shura was sprawled out on the pew with a hat covering his face and using a cat as a pillow.

"Ignore him for now. We'll take him to his house after we take care of business." Yusuke poked him anyway.

"That's it Mr. Giraffe, lick off all the marmalade..." Shura mumbled in his sleep, causing Yusuke to fall, bout looking disgusted.

"Yusuke, leave the kid alone," Hiei sighed as he plopped beside Shura.

"No! Didn't you hear him! He's dreaming about giraffes and marmalade! I'd be scared if my son were dreaming like that wouldn't you?"

"It's the only time he can express himself. Enough said." Hiei paused. "I had weird dreams myself when I was his age. Only they involved nice looking women all the time and we always..."

"No one wants to hear about your wet dreams," Koenma broke in.

The cat jumped away when Kuwabara tried to pet him and Shura shot up. He stared at everybody and cursed under his breath.

"You know... I never noticed this but... Whoa! You're short!" Yusuke half gasped at Shura.

"Whoa! You're stupid!" Shura replied with rolled eyes.

"What?!" He whacked him on the head with Koenma's bible. "Your head hurts!"

He kicked him in the crotch. "Your crotch hurts!"

"Don't do that!" Kuwabara kicked him in the head.

"Don't hurt innocent kids!" Koenma grabbed the bible from Yusuke's hands. "The power of Jesus compels you! Die, you sinner or your ass 'll burn in hell!"

"God, you really are a priest." Shura sighed.

"By the way, your dipshit father wants you to go home. Why aren't you over there sleeping in your own bed?" Hiei asked.

"Oh, here we go. I called him a ass fuckin' dickwad. So he got pissed off and I left. I bet he took it out on Mukuro since he's always going off on her. Then they got on and break all this glass and cut each other up. Does that sound like a home you wanna go to just to sleep. Every single damned day with them. That queer guy... Kurama was his name, I go to his house every day to eat. Maya cooks better than Mukuro. She doesn't get blood in the food. And sometimes Kurama stays here with me and sometimes my friend Jin too."

"Jin and Kurama?"

"Yeah. You could find Kurama at the school. He almost lives there now. And then Jin's out in the streets doing odd jobs like dancing for money and stuff like that. I wonder how he makes so many pounds a day like that."

The door opened to reveal Jin and Kurama. Jin gave them a look that said, "What the f...?" and Kurama raised his eyebrows.

"It's been a while..." Kurama finally said to break the silence.

"Yeah, it has. By the way, why did you never write me back?" Koenma asked. He opened the bible and started reading. Hiei figured it was a way to relieve his surprise.

"I didn't have time. But what brought you here?"

"An exorcist in England. We came to exterminate him. Long story short he'll kill you!"

"I know who you're talking about! That's the meanie who took Hiei away to jail that one time! He was looking at me while I was working like a pedo looks at a kid! It was an awful experience!" Jin replied.

"Yeah he was touching my back like he was going to run his hand down it and grab my..." Shura was interrupted.

"Anyway... You've seen him Jin?" Hiei asked.

"...Well, yeah but not recently..." He turned to Shura. "Are you going home today? I don't wanna come to your house alone cause your dad look at me like this..." Jin shoved his eyebrows together with his fingers. "And he says," Jin imitated Yomi's voice with a perfect British accent, "'WHERE IS MY SON, YOU BLOODY BASTARD!' But I like Mukuro. She was fun when she drank. But she stopped."

"Why?" Hiei raised an eyebrow. "Did it make her...?"

"She said she wanted to bang herself against a needle covered fence the next mnorning."

Hiei's face turned green.

"She had that same look on her face when she told me!"

"Fine. I'll go." Shura broke in. "I'm sick of looking at this short bastard." He took jin by the hand and dragged him out the church. "And don't you try sleeping with Mukuro if you see her. Yomi will be pissed."

Kurama sat down in a pew. "So anyway... What's the plan?"

"I'm looking for Mukuro. I'll see you all later and no, I'm not looking for a good screw either. Shura said Yomi was beating on her. And I believe that little bastard. I'm looking for her." Hiei walked out. He noticed in the corner of his eye Kurama half rolling his eyes. "Kurama, I swear. I'm telling told you I wasn't..."

"She doesn't want to see you. She was sick right after she was married and... She told me it was your fault whatever it was. I know what it is but I won't tell you."

"You snotty...!"

"Fine. Maybe I am being snotty. But I mean it. And she did too."

Hiei stormed out.

---

Hiei found Mukuro out in the streets. He hardly recognized her. Her hair was more of a blonde now and her skin was still getting lighter. (If it were possible, Hiei thought.) Hiei nudged her. She turned to him and groaned something in German.

"Not you. I thought you were gone in Mexico, or Chile so Yomi says. Go away before I shoot myself," Mukuro growled.

"I wanted to see you. I'm not here for you but I heard about you and Yomi..." Hiei was interrupted.

"What goes on in that house stays there. Listen I'm not here to deal with your bullshit. Go away now." She fired her pistol into the sky. She turned to the people who stopped and stared. "Go on. Nothing to see here."

Hiei heard someone grumble, "Goddamn German barbarians."

"Let's see. I'm due for a new grey hair on the day after tomorrow."

"What day is that?"

"December twenty first. My birthday. Ugh, why am I talking to you? I'm after the exorcist right now." She stopped and coughed up a blood clot.

"You can't work in your condition. You're sick."

Mukuro mumbled something under her breath and motioned for Hiei to come closer. Once he was close enough she hissed. "I had a miscarriage and it's all your damn fault. I'm already some kid's mother. Don't make it happen again."

She walked away.

Hiei stared at the ground. "Go to the church on Hamiliton and Oxford tonight. We'll talk."

"Not on your life, kid," she walked away. "But maybe tomorrow, I may."

End chapter 58

Notes:
1. Mukuro's birthday- not really it. I thought she makes a good Capricorn but I got the date wrong and made her a Sagittarius.

Sorry I took so long. I was getting to happy with my Silent Hill story. And my next one's intense so it may take just as long to update.

You ever wonder what Hiei sounds like speaking Spanish and Kurama speaking Italian. I found it on youtube. (Youtube addict)

Also look under Yu Yu Hakusho OVA while you're there. It's like a quick continuation. And note where Mukuro's hand is when she's thinking about Hiei in the fifth one. Lolz.

Until next time...
