Blood
"Hn." snorted Hiei. "I love no one."
"We didn't ask if you loved her." teased Yusuke. "We just asked if you liked her." Hiei
narrowed his eyes and the next second, Yusuke was lying on the ground sporting a large bump.
Hiei was no where in sight.
"Hey Kurama!" yelled Kuwabara. "Where you going?!"
"I'm going to follow that girl. I sense something strange about her." replied Kurama
calmly. "Why don't you take Yusuke back to his house. We wouldn't want the leader of our team
become road kill, now do we?"
Kuwabara just nodded dumbly, as Kurama disappeared from his line of sight. "What was
I suppose to do again?" asked Kuwabara, as he trailed after the ice-cream man....and totally
forgetting Yusuke.

~Kurama's POV~
I watched as the strange girl turned into an alleyway. Doesn't she know that deserted
alleyways are dangerous places for a young girl like her? I watched slightly amused as she kept
stumbling on the uneven ground. "Shit." cursed the girl, as she stopped. "Took a wrong turn."
Confusion took over as she stood straight and seemed to relax. Then she quickly tensed
again, as some punks from my school surrounded the girl. "What is a Kasanegafuchi Junior High
student doing on my turf?" asked the guy who was apparently the leader of the gang.
"Don't you have better things to do then block me path?" demanded the girl.
"Did you not hear me?" asked the punk. "This is MY turf! Which makes you belong to
me." He quickly motioned for his friends to surround the girl. I was going to help her, when a
black blur beat me to it. Hiei. The punks fell to their knees, holding their stomach in excruciating
pain.
"H-Hiei-sama!" cried the leader, as he fell to his knees. "What brings you to my humble
turf?"
"Scram." ordered Hiei, and the punks quickly scattered. "Kurama." called Hiei, as I
stepped out of the shadows.
"From the way those punks said your name...you four idiots must be the popular four at
Sarayashiki Junior High. Known for your fighting skills and good looks, well, except one."
Hiei looked about to kill the girl on the spot when I stopped him. "Girl." spat Hiei. "If
you haven't noticed, there's only two of us. Are you blind!"
"Hiei." I admonished. "Sorry Miss, Hiei has a very hot temper." I received a glare from
Hiei, but I easily ignored it. "I know our schools don't get along, but you don't have to hate us
with such a passion."
"I hate people from your school and Shikon High not because they're enemies of my
school. I hate them, because I wish to, in addition to the idiots at my school." With that the girl
closed her eyes and relaxed for a few seconds before she whirled around and found her way out
of the alley.
I released Hiei when I started to feel my hand starting to heat up. "Guys!" called a
cheerful tone. "Let's try not to kill each other ok?"
"Botan." I greeted.
"Hi Kurama!" replied Botan happily. "Koenma wishes to see you." I nodded, as the three
of us entered Spirit World from Botan's portal.
"Where's Yusuke?" demanded Koenma, when we entered his office.
"At home....courtesy of Hiei." I replied, murmuring the last part.
"Botan! Get Yusuke! This is no time for a nap!" yelled Koenma, as he pounded his tiny
fists on the desk. A few minutes later, Yusuke entered, in a worse shape then when I had left him
with Kuwabara.
"Some friends you are!" yelled Yusuke, as he limped in. "You could've at least dragged
me off the sidewalk!"
"I thought I asked Kuwabara to do that." I replied. A second later, Kuwabara entered
licking his ice cream.
"What? Did I miss something?" asked Kuwabara clueless.
"ENOUGH!" yelled Koenma. "We have a serious case here!"
"What is it..." before Yusuke could finish, Koenma cut him off by pointing to the very
large sign that says. "DON'T CALL KOENMA A TODDLER!"
"Anyway, there is a demon out there that has been drinking other demon's blood." started
Koenma, as Kuwabara fainted on the spot. I smirked, as I refocused my attention on Koenma.
"Her name is Kagura. At least, that's what our information points to. But, it also seems Kagura is
working for another demon...more specifically, a hanyou."
"So, what your saying is. Kagura has been capturing demons for their blood. She might
be the one drinking it and she might be capturing it for her master to drink. Correct?" I asked,
after I summarized for Koenma.
"Yes, capture her. Every time the blood of a demon is drunk, the drinker gains more
power. It is an old ritual, that we have recently just noticed being practiced. Though by the looks
of it...this ritual has been in motion for many, many years now." added Koenma.
"Any clues as to where to begin?" I asked, voicing Hiei's unspoken words.
"Well, the pattern is to drink the blood of a powerful, male demon every month when the
moon is full." answered Koenma.
"So what your saying is." started Yusuke, as he smirked at Hiei and me. "That both
Kurama and Hiei could be a target?"
"Yes." replied Koenma, "powerful, male, and a demon."
"I agree about Hiei being demon, powerful, and masculine." started Botan, as she
blushed. "But..but...um..."
"What Botan?!" asked Koenma.
"Hn." snorted Hiei. "The fox may be in a human body, but he is still a demon."
"Or were you going to say Kurama isn't exactly masculine, but a bit on the feminine
side?" added Yusuke, as my face turned bright red.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" laughed Kuwabara. Botan meekly nodded.
"That won't matter Botan." answered Koenma. "Kurama is still a likely target for Kagura.
Kagura is a demon, she'll be able to tell Kurama's a male demon by his scent."
"That's what I was afraid of." murmured Botan.
"Did you say something?" asked Yusuke.
"Hn. She just said she was worried for the fox." repeated Hiei.
"Hey Kurama!" called Yusuke with a wide smile. "I think you got yourself a new
girlfriend!" Botan quickly got on her oar and disappeared through a portal, as Yusuke broke
down laughing.
"Come on guys, let's go think of plan." I suggested, trying to change the topic about me.
~Koenma's POV~
Hm, a fox and a grim reaper mating? Na, that won't work very well,....I hope. Oh, I'll
think about that later. I resumed my paper stamping when George entered bringing in more
paper. George paused as confusion was etched on his face.
"Hurry it up, ogre!" I yelled.
"Yes, yes. Here you go toddler-sama." with that George dropped the stack.
"T-todder?! GEORGE! HOW DARE YOU!" I screamed, as I pointed to my large sign.
"It says right here.. "Call Koenma a toddler!"
"Exactly, sir." replied George. I looked at the sign again and my face burned with fury.
"YUSUKE!" I screeched. Yusuke had somehow erased the Don't from my sign. Making
the sign read "call Koenma a toddler" instead of "don't call Koenma a toddler".

Kagome growled in irritation, as Kouga kept on babbling on about how much he loved
her. Kagome's hands wrapped around the half pendant on a chain that was around her neck. "I
don't love you." stated Kagome as calmly as she could.
"I knew you loved me!" cried Kouga, who had once again changed Kagome's words to
suit himself.
"Quit harassing Kagome!" admonished Sango, as she dragged Kouga away.
"Bunch of baka." murmured Kagome, as she slowly found her way back to her dormitory.
"Things aren't getting any better and the arrogant tone of Hiei along with the silky voice of
Kurama won't leave my head. That silky calm voice grates on my nerves. Who does he think he
is, following me, and I was stupid to not have noticed earlier! I got lost because of him too."
Kagome growled to herself. "If he hadn't been so annoying as to talk to me, I wouldn't
have had my mind elsewhere instead of on the way to the park. Then his classmates decides to
jump me."
"Hiei, that guy who saved me, though I didn't need his help....how come that name
sounds oddly familiar? As if I had heard that name before hearing it from a bunch of dim-witted
fangirls. Hiei...have I met you before?" Kagome murmured to herself, as she slumped into a soft-
cushioned couch.
