The man busted down the door to the apartment. Something Kenji and Izumi would have to deal with from management. The guy looked around for Izumi and noticed she wasn't there, which pissed him off.

"Where's that little bitch that landed me in jail Izumi?" he questioned Kenji.

"S-she's out" stammered Kenji.

"Shame, she would've gotten daddy's 'special' punishment, but it looks like you get it instead" he told him pushing him against the wall.

Kenji was trying to fight against his father when Hiei sensed he needed help and came to Kenji's rescue by knocking the guy out cold, he grabbed Kenji and took him to Kurama's flower shop. Hiei would come back and deal with the guy himself.

Once they were there he took Kenji in. Kurama looked over and sighed to himself.

'Here we go again' he thought quietly.

Kurama took him to the office. "Izumi, Kenji is here" he told her.

She turned around to see her brother shaking with fear and panic and went to him.

"Stay here" he said to them as he went back to the front.

"Ken, what happened? You sounded worried for me when I talked to you on the phone" she told him.

He nodded and drew a shaky breath. "F-father, is what happened. He found us 'Zumi...he busted down the apartment door. He was looking for you, unhappy you weren't home, he was going to do to me as he's done to you...he was going to rape me" he said through tears. "He would've successed if that short guy hadn't knocked him out and brought me here to see you...where are we anyways?" he asked.

She cursed to herself as she heard Kurama tell Sage to close the shop early on her first day.

"We are at a flower shop on the other side of town. That little guy's name is Hiei and he is super fast. I was brought here earlier by him as well, I'm going to stay with Suichi, which is the guy you saw when you came in" she told him.

Sage nodded and wrote a sign saying there was a family emergency and they would possibly re-open in the morning.

They walked Sage home and Kurama told her he would see about opening the morning. She nodded and went into her building with a slight feeling of disappointment. Before they left she gave him the apartment number she was living in, in case he decided to come by later. He took it and he left with Izumi and Kenji.

He walked them back to his house, and offered them and both a seat as he went to make some tea and snacks.

A few moments later he came in with some tea and sandwiches with condiments on the side. He didn't know what they liked.

"Sandwiches? Really?" Kenji whispered to Izumi.

She elbowed him. "Shut up Kenji, don't be rude to our host" she told him.

Kurama saw the reaction to the sandwiches and went to find different snack for them.

"Here are some apples and other little things to snack on" he told them taking a sandwich and sat down. "Izumi, please continue with your story"

Izumi poured tea for the three of them before continuing.

"There was a time father wouldn't be us or rape me. And that was when mother got sick"

Kenji nodded in agreement at what Sage was saying.

"What did she die of or from?" Kurama asked them.

"Ovarian cancer, which is very rare in our family, her side especially...father's side there is a lot of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, anything and everything on his side. The most on mother's side is high blood pressure and blood clots" Izumi said finally taking a breath.

Kurama wrote down the different things for both sides so they could adjust their diets according to all the possible health issues.

"So, I have a question for you, more like two..who or what is Hiei, and who or what are you?" she pondered, hoping she didn't offend him.

He chuckled softly, knowing the reactions were going to be priceless.

"Hiei is a fire demon with fire AND ice running through his viens, which makes him a pretty powerful demon. I am a demon trapped in a human's body. I am a spirit fox. My demon name is Youko Kurama, my human name is Suichi Minamino" he told them watching Kenji's reaction. "And yes, I'm ALL male"

He waited for them to process eith information he gave them. What happened next threw Kurama off his pedestal.

Izumi became very excited. "I knew IT!" she exclaimed. "I knew demons were real!"

He didn't falter on the outside but on the inside he was completely shocked. He smiled.

"You are correct, we are real" he told her happily.

Kenji looked between them a little baffled. "How Izumi? How did you know?" he questioned her.

Kurama nodded looking interested in her answer as well.

"When I was littlee, I had a visitor and she was beautiful. She had a kimono on and her hair was a blue-ish color with a red ribbon, she looked sad, but she told me not to worry Kenji and I would get out of the house safe and sound, and we did" she said looking between them.

This time Kurama showed his emotions, he was mortified.

Kenji looked at him. "What's wrong Kurama?" he asked.

"The woman you just described was Hiei's mother" he told her. "Her name was Hina"

"That's waht she told me her name was!" she exclaimed.

'Hiei, I need to talk to you or Yukina, or both of you' Kurama told him through mind link.

Before long Hiei showed up and Kruama stepped out to talk to him about Izumi had told him about his mother. Hiei looked a little confused at what he was saying but nodded not saying anything.

Kenji looked out the window. "That's the same guy that save me from father" he told her.

She looked out the window in time to see his reaction to what Izumi had told him about Hina. She couldn't hear the conversation but from the look on Hiei's face he wasn't pleased. Izumi sighed and turned back towards Kenji.

When Kurama came back in he sat down.

"Hiei told me you are to stay here for a few days. Kenji, Hiei know you have a job and will send one of my friends to tell them an emergency came up and you will be away for a few days" he told him before looking at Izumi.

"And you...be outside in the wood here behind the house at five in the morning, Hiei will have your sword and he's not happy about you knowing his mother, but he will get over it with time"

They both nodded, he got up and instructed them to follow him and showed them to their rooms before going to check on Sage.
