East meet's West

part 10 "Conclusions"

by BANE Huntress

 

Bane looked over at her friend, "So it has come to this..." she sighed as she heard Hiei's voice booming Kurama's name.

"It was Kurayami's own folt... you did warn him the last time..." Kin wisperd, her eye's glearing.

"I know..." Bane groned. "But it was going so well... I though I had finaly found some inteligens in one of my kind." She shooke her head, "But again I was mistaken".

Kin smiled coldly, "As always."

Bane snarle at her friend, "You were there when I found him... why didnt YOU say anything? hmm?"

Kin remaind silant as she looked away.

"Come on..." Bane said with a growl, "We have to be ready to move in once Hiei get's out of there." with that she moved forwards to take her plase by the front entranse.

 

Hiei screamed Kurama's name, He was about to jump on what looked like the leader when he had seen his lover.

Kurama was held in midair by a piller of light, his silver hair streamed around him as he seemed to be in some kind of pain only no sound came from him. then those Golden eye's he had though lost, looked at him, then Kurama smiled as he mouthed Hiei's name.

Hiei couldnt take his eye's of his mate, as an ark of light and power sudenly went into the leader's chaist. Then thiner, weaker stripes of light brock off and went to the others stood in a larg sercal.

Each now looked like they where in some kind of extasy that was a world of pain.

But Hiei had expected some kind of noice, a huge crushendo of violent sound that would hurt his ear's. But there was nothing, not even the sound of a slight brease ruffaling materal, nothing. and that he found it more desturbing.

No one seemed to even have notised he was there, they were so inwraped in what they were doing.

The only thing to move in the hall now was Kurama as he thrashed in the light he seemed to be cort in.

Hiei shooke himself, He had promist Bane he wouldnt kill any of them, all he need do was get Kurama out, and now he saw his mate, all thought of reveng had left him, Bane could have her minians to do with as she pleased. all that sat on his mind was how to get Kurama out of the light...

After a while he finaly came up with the only thing he could do, and with a lunge of speed he throw him self at Kurama.

 

Kurayami could feel all of the Youko's Ki seeping into him, he maniged to chanel smaller amouts to the others so they thought they were geting the same thing. but he laped up the chaingling's power as if it were mear water.

He glorifd in it as it corsed through his vain's, he could feel the land around him and the power he could pull from it or the way he could chaing it at mear will. It over loaded his senses till he was sure he would loos himself in it at any moment, but he fearsly keped himself in check.

He could feel that the Youko was waning, he was puting up a good fight, but he was loosing, as the ki flowd more freely now. Kurayami could also feel the Youko/human fisical body becoming weaker as the thrashing became less.

Then suddenly everything was cut off, the powr was instantly wriped from him, it was like a big hole had just been punched through his chest. but he couldnt move or see or hear any more. all his senses flue on the wind now and he was left helpless.

 

Hiei hit the colum of light like a bulit, at first it bulked him then suddenly gave way as he threw his arm's around Kurama's wast as they both went flying to the flore in a heap.

Hiei got up as Kurama lay limp on the ground like something broken, his silver hair coverd his face. Hiei ignored him for the moment as he looked at the others in the hall.

There were a multitude of demon's of many veriaty, but all of them now crumpaled, as there shreakes of pain and destress filled the rafter's, they all seemed cort up in there own world, not notising him or Kurama.

He turnd his conserns back to the Youko, to see Kurama sturing and trying to sit up.

"Stay still" he said as he put his hand on his chaist.

"Hiei?..." came the weak reply as golden eye's focased on him. then he smiled, "You took your time"

Hiei snorted then picked the Youko up in his arm's, "You can complan when I have you out of here youko" he said, his heart was trying despratly to beet at just being close to what was his but he fought it down fearsly, there were more important things to do right now.

Kurama tightend his arm's about his neck, "I'm tired..." he statedas his eye's closed again.

Hiei bit his lip in fear as he tried to remember how to get out of this plase. He couldnt go the way he had come in and Kurama was now no help. So taking the first door he saw he ran.

Kurama was pruving a clumsy waight and slowed him down, but he ran down coridor after coridoor, always keeping to the larger ones.

Then suddenly huge door's infrunt of him flue open and he froze, ready to throw Kurama down and fight if need be.

But it was Bane who steped over the thresh hold, her gray eye's sought him out quickly, then she smiled when she saw Kurama in his arm's.

"Quick" she said coming towards him, Kin on her heals like a shadow. "My Elves have built a small camp beyond the trees... Take him there."

Hiei brisaled, he was fed up of this woman telling him what to do, "I'll take him where I please" he saped.

Bane's eye's sudenly went into vishus slit's as her face lost all imotions. "You will do as I say if you want Kurama back as he was, little one" her voice was also vod of all imotons now and it sent a shiver down Hiei's spine, "His fight is not over yet... now go!"

Hiei gleard at her, But she had helped him this far, another day couldnt hurt. Without a word he ran passed her and out the door.

 

Bane watched Hiei disapear and hoped he would listen to her, other wise he would find he had a problem on his hand's. espeshay if he took Kurama back to the Ningenkiai right now.

"Baka" Kin grumbaled.

"Say's you" Bane brisaled, "If he dosnt listen to me then I'm not going to be the one that has to sort it out this time! My kind will be hunted down till the last... I dont facy having to deal with fanatics after my blood."

Kin gave her a side way's look. "like it's a problem for you if this world or the one's attached to fall foul to that plage" she snorted.

Bane sighed, "But  like this dimention... Somethings always going on..."

Kin looked away, "I dont see what your so attached to..."

Bane fought down her anger as she sterd at her friend, "No you wouldnt... Come on.." she said, she could still hear the screams coming from the great hall, "It would seem your pray is wating for you".

Kin smiled in the only way she could, vishasly. "What are you wating for then?"

Bane smiled as she began carmly walking down the coridoor.

 

Kurayami strugaled to he feet as his senses finaly began to obay him again. his hearing was the first thing to come back to him, and all he could hear was the sound of the others screaming and his own panted breath.

Once he was stood and his head had stoped swiming he carfully opend his eye's and looked to the center of the surcal to see what had happend. but his eye's fell on nothing, Krama was no longer there, then he glanced down and his heart stoped.

The Lady was stood with her hand's on her hips and a self asuring smile on her face as she looked at him. Then he notised someone stood just behind her shoulder. The other figur almost made him gag.

He had heard of the other demon in storis and tails, but he hadnt thought it was real. The shorter demon stood with her thick dark hair covering her eye's that he knew sterd at him. Small horns patruded through her hair and her lips were pulled in to some form of a smile that froze Kurayami in place. He had once thought that the Lady was an imposing figure but this one seemed to pull all the light out of the room. He tried to swallow, What now stood at the Lady's shoulder had killed her own family and wiped out entire rasces of people without batting an eye lid. She was rumerd to be dead, or at least she hadnt been seen in years.

The Lady moved a little untill she resterd her elbow on the other's shoulder. "I asume you two need no intruduction?" she looked smug. "Kin my dear... This is the one that has be urking me for the longist time... Do you wish to save him till last?"

The smile on the Kin Slayers face broudent as she trow The Lady's arm off her shoulder then she advansed on the first damon that came to hand, Kurayami watched as Akarui was the first one she grabed by the shoulders. He was still realling in what ever pain he was traped in and didnt realise what was happening.

His eye's flutterd open as the Kin Slayer presed her lips to his. She groned in something close to extasey as Akarui's eye's flu open and he began to strugal, but the Kin slayer had a tight hold on him, and it wasnt long befor she droped him, a lifles corpes.

Kurayami felt no tang of guilt for Akarui, he had hated him, and ifhe could have would have killed him in the same way, Sucking his very soul out of his body. But was that to be his fait?

Quickly he maniged to get some hold on the storm that was his Ki, as carfully as he could he tested to see if there was any meens of escape. But the Lady had a sheild about the room and he could vagly sence another that surounded the entire mantion. He groned as the Kin slayer moved on to her thired victim.

The Lady looked at him then, noting his grone. "Dont worry Kurayami.. I'm asured t's quite painless... well at first anyway" she smiled, "Ow and dont think you can escape. That tendral you sent out didnt tell you about the vacume I have created between the two barriers did it?" she grinned as she walked over to him.

Kurayami cringed away from her, he hadnt known and the fact that she had let him sence them only bought shame. he stumbaled and fell to his nease as she sat down besides him like they were old friends watching a play or something.

"I wish you had listend to me" She sighed almost regretfully as she watched the Kin Slayer haveing a bit of dificalty with one of the lager demon's. "I could see you were not happy here with these weakalings" she waved her hand at the surcal, "And befor you started on this stupid sceam I was thinking of asking you into my harem..." she mused.

Kurayami grouled, "I would rather die..." he maniged to weez out. "Than be one of your... Snivaling Elves who kiss and lick.. your feet!"

The Lady was chewing on a nail as she looked at him, almost the image of innocens, "I would not have expected that of you" she said her face carm. "They follow me like thay do because that's how they want too, I neather expect or tell them how they must be around me... it's like a huge game to them I think." she played with a bit of her golden hair. "I just deside who comes in and who goes... They only do what I say in hope of gaining my interest" she grinned.

"One day they will.. turn on you.." Kurayami smiled.

The Lady smiled down at him. "Doutfull" she comented. "They know I dont need them, nor ever will do, and they also know I can hold all there lives in my hand if I so chose.. but I do not... and you have diverted my from my point" she fround at him as if to a naughty child, "If you would have acepted my offer it would have goten you out of this plase, you could have told the others I demanded it, they would not have gone against my word.. and you could have left any time you would have wished after that" she shruged, "But I asure you, you would not have wanted to... You would have been my companion, I would have tought you anything you wished to learn from me and with in my power... I would have even shown you how to do what you have tried here... But you didn not listen to my first warning" she sighed deeply.

Kurayami let sink in what she had just siad. and he would have beged her to forgive him. but his prid was to batterd as he sat there at her mirsy.

A shrill scream cut the other wise silense in the room. The Lady stood.

"Kin?!" she called out to the damon across the hell. as Kin pushed the demon away she had been consuming the soul of.

"Damn bastard!" the Kin Slayer stormed as she jumped on the offended demon who even now was tying to make hs escape.

"What is it?" The Lady demanded as she walked away from him.

Kurayami heard The Kin Slayer mumbal something about tanted soul's and selling. and the Lady mumbal something about it being to weak to bother about and not being a thret in it's next life.

But Kurayami was bejond careing, The Lady was destracted and this would be his only chanse,carfully this time, and with more of his sences intact he began to form together his powers.

 

Hiei was now glad that Bane had told him to find the camp she had built just bejond the tree's. Because he didnt think he could go on much longer without colapsing. He was also thankfull he hadnt had to fight, for he knew he would have probably lost.

He spid the green tent's as he looked for the small camp.

He jumped down into it's senter and was apaled to be greeted by an unruffaled Valimoor, who just smiled at him.

"ah.. your back then... and with the Kurama I see". Valimoor sounded as if he knew him and it emediatly put Hiei on edge. But the Elf just turnd. "Follow me, we have a tent all ready to reseve you both." he began to wander towards a larg tent, and Hiei folowed with his burdan. "Would you like anything to eat?... anything brought?" Valimoor asked as he opend the flap.

Hiei steped inside, the interear was strooned with larg cutions, the floor was coverd with a huge thick rug, and there was a small table in the middle with what looked like a jug of wine and a bowl of fruit.

Valimoor steped passed him and nelt down at the far corner and began rearanging some of the cutions. once he was finished he turned with a smile, "Why dont you put Kurama down here?..."

Hiei at first wanted to protest, but he was growing weary and it was the best plase to put his unconshas burdan he still carrid. He walked over and jentaly laid Kurama out, Noteing Valimoor watched him but was wise enough not to inteveen.

The plase Valimoor had made was wide enough for them both but he didnt lay down as he so despratly wanted to. instead he layed Kurama out the way he had seen him sleep so many nights when he had just watched him.

He heard Valimoor move then a soft sheat was pushed into his hand's. "Why dont you get some sleep?..." his voice was soft and suthing now, loosing al its haughty amusmant. "I will be standing guard and so will some of the others so you can rest in pease... We will inform you once Lady Bane get's back."

Befor Hieicould say anything Vailmoor was on his feet and going out the flap closing it tightly behind him.

Hiei could sence other elves already stood around the tent all on guard and watchfull. With a sigh he looked down at Kurama, he was still in his Youko form wich was worrying enough but at least he had him back... after so long of thinking he would never see that face again. he felt something hard hit his hand, he was crying, Black tear jem's litterd his lap, and he realized that was probably why Valimoor had left so sudden.

carfully he curled up next to Kurama as his mate sleped, covering them both in the soft warm sheat Valimoor had given him. He layed his head on a broughd chaist listening to the rithum of the otheres heart. slowly his eye's closed and he sliped into sleep.

 

Bane found her self suddenly trying to carm Kin down. Her friend was fureus. all she could get out of her was that the demon she had just slaughterd had already lost his soul to some other power and she had tried to eat his life-esanse with. by all acounts, was something completly difrent.

Bane had no idea what the difrens was but Kin was going off on a fit of anger which never bowed well as she pounced on her next victime with a cry of fury.

"Kin calm down!" she tried to reson. "your only going to make your self sick!"

"Shut up!" Kin stormed as she wriped the soul from a female demon who just stood there her eye's wide with fear. "All soul's should be mine if I so wish!... Who as the RIGHT to defiy ME!?"

Bane sighed. "Kin I though you were here to help me?"

That stoped the soul-eater in her trackes. as she turnd and gleard at her. "I'm here to help my self!"

Bane groned as she looked pashantly back at her friend. some time's she wonderd why she was so close to the other demon. They had been friends for the longest time, but they always acted like enamis, Kin always seemed to be in competition with her and she didnt know why, Bane had given up a long time ago and now just left Kin to it. She didnt understand what kept them together, she loved Kin as a sister even though there bondes of friend ship were sometimes streched they still came back together in the end.

"Kin if your not carfull some of this scum might be able to still reincarnat them selves... and you know I wouldnt like that..."

Kin seemed to quell a little as she looked at the last of the demon's who still lay on the floor still lost for wit."You would have to call me back again.. and I hate an uncomplet soul... they dont tast as sweet" she grinned as she advansed on her victim.

Bane set her smile on her face again, the one she always ware no matter what she felt. She turnd back to Kurayami who she had forgoten.

"Look's like your next" she told him as he still lay there looking pathetick.

Then he looked up and his eye's were filled with amusment. "I think not" he wisperd.

Bane was just of mind to throw up her personal shealds as her own inner barryer she had on the hall was suddenly wriped away.

It all happend so fast, the vacume she had created now rushed to fill the space in the hall. the walls buckaled and then bagan to colapes. larg chunkes of sealing began to crash down at her feet, one barly missing her as she jumped aside.

Kurayami was on his feet now and laughing histericly, his hand's above his head as he let his power go unchecked, corsing a mailstrum of havake.

Gritting her teath Bane began to chant, she lifted her arm's out to the side, not notising the rubal and the debri that now asailed her. she throw her head back with a cry then with one motion she brought her arm's and head forwrds.

With a cry of fury at being crossed she sent forth a beem of black soul fire directly at Kurayami's cheast. It hit it's mark with acursy, engulfing Kurayami in a black cloud of shear wild energy.

She heard his cryes above her own as he was being burned through to his very being. She knew it cursed down his every vane like glass filled blood as she pored her soul into it in anger. No one crossed her more than oce and thought they could get away!

Sudenly part of the wall and sealing separating them colapsed cuting her off from him.

This time it was her turn to scream in agoney as the black soul fire backlashed on her, she strugaled and fought with it untill finaly she had it under controle.

"BANE!" someone screamed in her ear as she felt arm's about her, "Get wrid of the second barrier, you stupid bitch!" it was Kin and she was shaking her vilently. "I dont want to die in here cos of you! you BAKA!"

Bane maniged to get some sembalans of order as she found the thredes to the barryer and dismataled it quickly. then she was awair of Kin lifting her up and almost draging her out of the building that was in it's death throws. the wall's groned as they colaped around them, the air was thick with dust that they kicked up.

Bane fumbled out side with Kin pulling her all the way as the mantion finaly colapes completly behind them, wiping out all the sins that had gone on within it's wall's.

 

Koenma felt the desturbans of power as he sat in his office, something big had hapend in the makai. as he rushed out of his office there was mayhem going on.

"Georg!" he screamed over the din. "What's going on?!"

The demon lumberd up to him. "Boss" he said almost out of breath. "Theres reports in that some one's just used the forbiden 'Soul Fire' in a western part of the Makai".

Koenma gassped, he didnt think anyone knew how to pull that one off anymore. "What caliber?" he demanded around his dummy.

Gored lookd pail. "Black boss" he answerd.

Kurama nearly losed his dummy as he gasped. "Get Yuusuke and Kewabara here now.. and find Botan imediatly!"

"Boss" georg said as he lumberd off.

Well at least this time Enma couldnt blame this on his me, Koenma thought with releaf.

Koenma was sat again at his desk as Yuusuke, Kewabara and Boten rushed in.

Yuusuke was the first to demanded to know what was going on. he stood with his leg's slightly apart ready for action.

Koenma sighed. "Right... Forget everything, someone's used the forbiden art of 'Black Soul Fire'..." He holted any questions about it by holding up his chubby hand. "All you need know is that it's powerfull and hasnt been used in a long time, I though it a frgoten art, but it would apear someone knew what it was. No soul's afected by it have been through here yet and thats worrying me. We dont know who cast it, but I want you to find out who it was"

"We'll kick there asses!" Yuusuke promist him as Kewabara puffed out his chaist.

"Yesss" Koenma answerd. "Who ever cast it might be weak right now, but if they gane to much energy back from it then theres no way youll be able to stop them... and if you could... avoid killing them. I'd like to have a word with them."

"Will do Koenma-sama" Botan shrilled as she cluched her ore in hand, "But where is it?"

"Someone with sence" Koenma sighed. "Here..." he handed Boten a gadgit that would take them straight to the desturbanse. "This will get you there... from there it's up to you..."

Befor he could finish he was alone in the office with a stack of papers awaiting him. he just hoped that what ever it was would sort out the problem with the influx of demon's that didnt belong in his part of the Makai.

 

Hiei was woken up by something tapping his shoulder, he groned and found him self looking in to Valimoor's worrid blue eye's.

"Good your awake... has Kurama awakend yet?"

Hiei sat up, disliking to be found in such a vonrable position, "No Baka" he snarled.

The Elf sighed in what apeard to be releaf. "My Lady askes if she may be permited entry?"

Hiei sat up fully, pushing the covers off his leg's he sat up. "What dose she want?"

Valimoor sat back a bit, "She wishes to cure Kurama of what now ails him" he blinked then smiled, "Unless you could live with a Youko who drink's blood and devours Ki?"

Hiei growled at him again. "I though that was taken care of?"

Vaimoor shruged then a look of pain crossed his face, "She leaves her own bed to come and help, when I shouldnt let her up from it." he looked at him pleading, "Please let her do what she must so I can see her to bed and rest again... We fear we have been notised and we must move soon".

Hiei snorted, "Then show her in than!" he snaped. As the Elf got up and rushed out.

Hiei was tucking Kurama in when he heard Valimoor come back in. He turnd to see Bane clinging to Valimoor's arm, she looked pailer than she had earlyer but her smile was still there.

They walked over to him and Valimoor helped Bane to sit down the other side of Kurama, the elf looked worrid as he hoverd over her shoulder, but Bane ignored him.

"He hasnt woken then?" she said and her voice sounded shaky.

Hiei shook his head as he sterd at her.

"Good" she smiled at him, "Wouldnt want him to bite you or anything, I feel your rather attached to your Ki?" Then she lent forwards and put her right hand on Kurama's forehead, then she glansed up at him, "I would sugest you stand by the door" she said, "And you too Valimoor, if anything gose wrong now I dont want eather of  you two involved. Kin is just out side and she will sort anything out if something were to go wrong..." her eye's narrowed for a moment, "I want neather of you to interfear what ever happens.. you hear me?"

Hiei swalowed, there was no way he was going to loos Kurama now. he opend his mouth to say something when the elf cut him off.

"But my Lady!" he said in a destressed tone. "I wont let you do this alone! I cant... I beg you to leave this till you are strong enough... Please!" he was on his nees now and almost weeping.

Bane glansed at him, "This has to be done and now... I dont have the power to restrain Kurama once he awakens" her voice was cold as Valimoor sobed.

"Please my Lady!"

"Vali!" she snaped, then a look of loss enterd her eye's as she reached out and took one of the crying Elf's hand's. "Vali..." she said more softly. "If I dont do this now I feer for your and all the others safty... I dont want to see YOU harmed my love..."

Valimoor's head snaped up at her last word. Bane smiled. "But I think Hiei here feels the same as you, he want's no harm to come to his love... but you must both be strong now.. for me and Kurama... Now go... Do as I say."

Valimoor slowly stood then backed away to the door. Hiei sighed, "Will this take long?" he asked.

Bane took her eye's off the other elf. "If I can help it, it will take no time at all... Now go stand with Valimoor and dont interfeer."

He nodded, there was nothing else he could do, then something Kurama had told him a long time ago hit him, "I thought all lesser vampires turnd ningen once the leader was dead... I thought you killed him?"

Bane smiled wider, "So did I?... but Kurama is a little difrent to a ningen Vampire... now go."

Hiei fround as he stood, he still didnt understand what Bane's motives were for saving Kurama, but there was nothing else he could do but trust her.

 

Bane sighed as she looked down at Kurama, Hiei and Valimoor had gone, and now she sat alone with the Youko.

She smiled to her self as she thought of what Valimoor was now thinking, she loved makng him worry, he was so good at it, and she had a reputation to uphold. The thing she had to do to Kurama was an easy job and wouldnt even tax her powers that much, and she couldnt help being the drama queen, Even though she was tired bejond all baleaf and if Kurama would have biten Hiei it would have made her job a little harder.

She strocked Silver hair from Kurama's face then layed her palm on his forhead. She closed her eye's then delved into Kurama's body.

There was no resistans, The Youko was passed that in his slumber. She easly found Kurama's Youko and human blood then swiftly began to eradicat all the Vampire blood from every vain and kapilary, then moving on to cells and tissu.

In no time she had completed her job, andwith a sigh of exawstion she puled away phisicly and mentaly.

Kurama stured and his golden eye's opend a crack.

"Welcome back" Bane smilled down at him, he was gorgeause even though he looked like he had just been draged through hell.

"Ugg?... Bane?... what the hell?" He asked siting up.

"Hmm.. what a greeting to an old friend" she laughed, "And after I saved you and restord you back to your old self."

Kurama gave her a side way's look. "Are you going to explain?... or just sit there looking smug?"

"Oww.. I think I can do both at once" she grinned.

 

Kurama rubed his head, He rememberd being traped in nothing ness, and that his Human side was slowly being killed, Somewhere in the back of his mind he could feel the aparition of him self that had been known as GinHikari and all it's memoris... but with a jold he shide away from them, he could studdy them later.. when all this was over and done with.

"I didnt manig to get Kurayami though" Bane said regretfuly. "I have no idea how he got away, but he will be greatly weakend, I dout he will ever recover... and so that's it, what to know anything else?"

Kurama looked up at her, she want the pritist thing on any planit, but she had a charm that very few apresheated. He remeberd meeting her quit some time ago, and not for very long, she hadnt seemed to chaing at all since that time.

Bane put her head to one side. "Thinking about how we met?" she asked with a customery smile.

Kurama couldnt help but smile back, "Ya... I was thinking it was a long time ago and you havent seemed to chaing"

"Oww.. I've chainged" Bane said leaning back a bit, "But you remember that night?" she grinned, chainging the subject with ease. "we where both trying to mug each other" she laughed, "How on earth did we end up in that tavern so drunk neather of us could see straight?".

"If I remember right it was your idea" Kurama grined, "You liked the barman but didnt do anything."

Bane sighed, "Ya him... Well I dont have to find men now" she grinned, "There now flinging them selves at my feet." she waved a hand at the wall's of the tent. "no dout you can feel we are surounded by people."

Kurama nodded, he could indeed, it had un-nerved him at first, but Bane didnt seem to be botherd by it so he relaxd. "Who are they?"

Bane sighed as she lay back on the small bed they sheard. "There all my follower's, all wanting me to pay them the smallist attention, and there all so loyal..." she lifted her head and winked at him, "And there ALL so hansum"

Kurama laughed, "Seem's you have a good life here then" he pawsed,"amm?... where exactly are we?"

She sat up, "We are in a forist in the Makai, which remeind me... isnt there someone you want to be reunited with?"

Kurama's breath cort in his throught, "Hiei" he breathed. The last time they had been together was when Kurama could rememeberd looking up into Hiei's pain filled eye's, fighting back tear's. He rememberd trying to hold on to his last breath, as his heart stoped, he didnt want to leave Hiei, not like that, not when he had finaly warmed the fire demons heart. a tear fell down his cheak.

"Come..." Bane said softly as she stood. "He's out side probably sick half to death with antisipation" She smiled and it was jental this time. "He almost gave up completly when he couldnt find you... It must be nice to have that kind of love... Come" She held out her hand to him.

Kurama took it and stood slowly on tired legs.

 

Hiei was growing impationt as he passed back and forth, Valimoor was a constant anoying presans, as the elf just steard at his feet with a sick, worrid look on his face.

But he could cope with Valimoor, after all in a way he almost simpathised with the elf who obveusly loved the stupid grinning wench, as much as he loved Kurama.

What was geting to him was Kin... she didnt do anything but watch him, her red eye's never left him as she stood with her arm's crossed, no expretion ever crossed her face.

Finaly he snaped as he suddenly apeard infrunt of her, glearing at here almost eye to eye.

"Will you stop bloody looking at ME!" he snarled, his fists clenched.

One of Kin's eye brows rose, but she remeind silant.

Hiei was growing even more unerved, "What the hell is it with you?!" he asked, "Are you a bit dime in the the brain departmant or something?"

The other eye brow rose as her lips began to pull back in almost a rictus grin.

Hiei was just about to do something he hoped Kin would regret, when he heard the tent lap behind him being moved and Valimoor's releaved sigh.

He spun round to see Bane leading Kurama Blinking into the light. For a moment he could find the sence to move.

Valimoor rushed to Bane's side, taking her arm as he quiatly looked at her worridly. With a small grin at Hiei, Bane steped away from Kurama's side, leting Valimoor lead her a little away.

Kurama blinked a few times as his eye's got used to the dappled light coming through the canapy. then he looked up and there eye's met.

Kurama smiled slightly as he took a step forward, He cuped Hiei's face in his hand. "Helo" he breathed, his golden eye's shining.

Hiei reached up in kind, notising as he did so that his betraying hand trembaled slightly as he layed it againced one pale cheek. Then without thinking he brought it back and slaped the Youko across the face harshly. "You EVER do this to me again!" he rored "And I'll kill you myself!"

Kurama blinked in stuned sliance down at him, his golden eye's wide.

Hiei couldnt help but grinn as he grabed two hand fulles of silver hair bringing Kurama's face colser to his own. "Stupid Youko..." He growaled as he clamed his mate's lip's.

It didnt take Kurama long to return the fearsly pationat kiss, as he wraped his arm's around Hiei's wast and holding him tightly.

 

Bane watched the two demon's clinging to each other with a smile, that she then turn on Valimoor. The look of releafe in his eye's was adorabul, as he smiled back at her.

"My lady?" He wisperd.

"Yes..." Bane sighed. "Brack camp. We Leave as soon as the other's are ready. I leave it to you to sort thing's out."

Valimoor grinned as he bowed and then hurrid away giving order's to the other elves, and imedeatly tent's began to be tacken down.

Bane was just about to folow him when she cort sight of Kin out the corner of her gray eye's.

The soul eater was stood watching Hiei and Kurama. her red eye's intent n ther stear.

"Kin... come on leave them alone!" But Kin didnt move.

With a froun. Bane cast a look at the imbrasing couple to see Kurama's silver hair bleed into red, It also apeard that he lost about a foot in high. With a sigh she walked over to her friend and took her arm. "Come." she wisperd. "You can say what you want whenwe leave."

Grugingly Kin walked away. as always silantly. With another sigh, Bane followed.

 

Finaly Hiei broack the kiss, and opend his eye's to bright green ones, framed by red hair. and his heart missed a beet. "Kurama" he breathed out softly as the redhead smiled down at him.

"Thanyou Hiei" the other wisperd.

Hiei shruged the coment off, trying to act like it had all been nothing. "Hn... You would have dont the same..."

Kurama smiled, "Maybe..."

Hiei let red tresses slip throught his finger's. only one thing botherd him now... He could smell another sent covering his Youko, and that sent carrid heavy tones of sex. "You dont smell of me" he wispard to himself.

"Then we will have to see about that..." He felt hot breath on his ear as Kurama wisperd back.

A sudden fit of jelusy griped Hiei as he gleard at him. "I was to be your first!" he snaped angraly. "I should have taken you befor you died!"

Kurama just smiled at him. "I'm glad you didnt, I wasnt exactly at my best."

Hiei growled, as he pushed the Youko away. "So you let someone else take you at your best then!"

Kurama snorted a laugh as he took Hiei in his arm's again, "You silly thing." he chuckaled. "Kurayami only ever got a tast of Kurama..." he lent down and wisperd in his ear again, "Suichis verchu is still sound for your taking...."

Hiei blinked in puzzaled anger, as Kurama's green orbes looked at him with amusment. "You...?"

Kurama nodded, "I may not have rememberd anything, but nothing would let me betray you, Hiei." all amusmant left his perfect face suddenly. "Nothing!"

Hiei blinked as realisation struck and he gave a vishas grinn. "Then I'll have to see about geting you clean..." he said taking handfulles of red hair posesivly. "And then I'll take what is mine."

Kurama smiled. "I have no argumant's about that."

 

Yuusuke was growing exited, he could feel Hiei's Ki strongly now, But he could also sence Kurama's as well. Kuwabara lumberd on behind him as they made there way throught a dence Maki forist.

"Can you feel them?" Yuusuke asked his friend.

Kuwabara grinned. "The little shrimp definatly passed this way... but he wasnt alone."

Yuusuke nodded, "Well we can deal with them once we find him...Come on!"

 

Finaly the camp was packed away and her elves now stood waiting for her to give the order to leave, Valimoor stood at her elbow with a wide grinn on his face after the prase she had just given him for his affciancy.

She looked over at Hiei and Kurama, they where both smiling at each other now and she hated to brack up the lovly site. but she walked over and coughed politly.

"Sorry guy's" she said with a grinn. "But it's time we where out of here befor your friends get here."

Kurama fround at her as Hiei snarled at the intrusion. "Friend's?" Kurama asked.

"Your partners, Yuusuke and Kuwabara." Bane informed them. "I cann't aford to be seen, and I have matters else where that demand my attention."

Kurama brock away from Hiei and huged her tightly. "Thanyou for all youve done." he said. "Will we see you again?"

She shruged with another grinn. "Maybe... But time is really pressing..." She could feel two presanses drawing close. "Tell Koenma that the problem in the west is over, He should be releved to hear that I think."

Kurama grinned, "I'm sure he will." he gave her another warm hug. "It's a shame we didnt have more time."

"My Lady...?" Valimoor said worrdly at her side, "We need to be going."

"Yes, yes." she said, then holding her hand up to other side of the clearing, she poke a word of power, She felt the power's pulling at her as they brock thought time, space and dimention's. Then with a quiat woosh, a larg hole apeard showing a view of steep hill's coved with fields under a dark broding sky, and beyond brown moor coverd flat's few animals dwelt there other than cow's, sheep and rabbit's. She could smell the grassy feilds waft throught the portanl from the wind swept scape. She heard Kurama gasp behind her, as Valimoor began to order the other elves through the portal.

"Where is that?!" Kurama asked, then she realized it was a place he might never have seen befor, non like it existed in the Makai or in Japan.

"That." she said with a growing pride. "Is my home, if any can be called that now... It's where I grew up."

"It dosnt look very inviting." Kurama mumbaled as he sterd at the almost baran landscape.

Bane chuckaled, "I supose your right, but I love it all the same..." All the her elves where stood in the cold bejond the portal now, only Valimoor waited for her now with an expectant look on his face. "Well I best be going" she smiled at Kurama for one last time, "And make sure you bed Hiei befor the sun set's in your world's."

Kurama chuckaled as he gave her another quick hug. "Like I'm going to do anything else..." he wisperd back.

"Come on Kin!." she said as she walked toward's Valimoor.

 

Hiei sterd at the horrid place Bane and the stupid elves where going, it looked far to cold for him, and very boring.

Finaly the tall woman said her god bye's and began to walk away.

"Come on Kin!"

But the shorter woman was still looking at him with her red eye's.

Hiei growaled ashe stered back. "What the HELL is it!?" he demanded to her face.

Suddenly a huge smile split her other wize emotionless face. "You are so CUTE!" with that her hand's shot out and she gave him a bone crushing cuddal.

Hiei couldnt help but squeek as he was given no time to react. Then he heard Bane Laughing at them.

"I think we best leave now, befor Kin get's any other ideas" she said in Kurama's direction. "Kin... Leave him we have something to do!"

As suddenly as Kin had embrased him she let him go with a wink. "So cute." Then she bounded through the portal and began chasing a few of the elves about.

Hiei looked at Bane with an acusing look, but she just shruged. "Good bye Hiei, it was nice working with you." she waved then took Valimoor's arm, "Come on we best save the others befor Kin gets her hands on them... See ya Kurama... Hiei..."

Then she steped through the portal which instantly colapsed behind her and was gone in a blink, leaving no trase that they had ever even been there.

Hiei grunted glad to be wrid of them finaly. He grunted again in surprise as he felt a hand run down his spine and hot breath on his neck.

"It would seem we are alone." Kurama murmard, presing his lean body againced Hiei's side. "I know a good hotsprin we could visit...."

Hiei shiverd as Kurama nibaled at his ear, then he stiffand as he turnd to his bond mate.

Kurama fround at him, "What?"

Hiei grabed a lock of hair, "No more hotsprings!" he stated flatly, "This is how all this started." He gave a soft tug. "And I'm not about to loos you for some time yet."

Kurama gave him a sulty smile, "Oww... I think I could live with you waiting on me hand and foot again..."

There lip's were just about to tuch again, as they sterd deeply into each others eye's when there was a noice of something running thought the forist towards them, Bird's filled the air and demons shreeked warnings as they got out of the path of the desturbans.

Hiei and Kurama looked up just in time to see Yuusuke and Kuwabara come thundering into the clearing. then stop suddenly.

They all looked at each other blinking befor Yuusuke grinned. "Found you both at last then!?" he said comeing closer, Hiei resisted the urg to growa at him as he took hold of Kurama's wrist posesivly.

"Your looking good for a corps Kurama!... What to explaine?" Yuusuke glanced at Hiei, giving him a funny look

"A corps?" Kurama fround, "I would explain if I knew what atualy happend your end first... I dont remeber much but being ill... then...:

Hiei heard the hesitation in Kurama's voice, and he steped forward's. "He's still tired." He snaped at the Ningen. "He need to rest... then he can tell Koenma all he want's to know..." He pulled at Kurama's arm and began walking back the way they had come. Yuuske and Kuwbara silantly followed.

"Taking me home?" Kurama wisperd down to him.

Hiei looked up with an evil grinn on his lips. "I wouldnt want you bracking youre promis to Bane naw would I?"
