~Kurama's POV~

 

I sensed something wrong when Anya went to the door. “Anya, is everything ok?” I asked, but got no response. I got up and went to the door. I found it wide open and a small branch of a plant found only in Makai. “Tran.” I grabbed Anya's key off her table and rushed out the door. I went to the restaurant where Yusuke frequently took Keiko, he would be mad, but I didn't really care.

 

Calmly, I walked to the booth in the corner where they were sitting. “I'm sorry for interrupting, but they've taken Anya.” I said.

 

Yusuke sighed. “They couldn't wait until tomorrow could they?” he asked. I glared at him. “Sorry Keiko, duty calls.”

 

“I understand.” Keiko said sadly. “You better come back alive.”

 

Yusuke got up and kissed her forehead. “Don't worry, I will.” Then he turned to me. “Where to?”

 

“I believe that Anya's friend may be of help in locating her. She's descended from psychics. She'll be able to locate Anya's energy.”

 

Yusuke nodded and followed me to Kyoko's house. “Who exactly is this girl?” Yusuke asked when we were two blocks from her house.”

 

“Anya's closest friend Kyoko. Let's just hope that she's in a good mood today, she'd blow up and throw anything in her reach at us.”

 

“Kyoko, is she the girl Anya was with yesterday?”

 

“Yes.”

“That girl shows less emotion than Hiei, I can't really see her getting angry and throwing projectiles at us.”

 

We came up to her front gates. “Trust me, you don't want to be on the wrong side of her anger. Anya had calmed her yesterday, that's why she seemed emotionless.”

 

We stopped at the large home that belonged to Kyoko. I had been here once before because of a class project in 6th grade. I chuckled at the look on Yusuke's face. “Kyoko is quite rich.” I told him.

 

“She didn't look filthy stinken' rich.” Yusuke gabbed.

 

“She tends not to.” I said as we entered the gates. Her mother, having grown up in a middle class society, preferred to answer the doorbell to answering the gate's buzzer.

 

I knocked softly. Very soon after, Kyoko answered the door. Her choice in clothing was different than her normal casual dress. She was wearing a sleeveless purple turtleneck, white mini skirt, purple leg warmers, white shoes and her hair was tied in two low braids.

 

“Shuichi? What's going on? The last time you were here was back in 6th grade.” She asked, confusion written on her face.

 

“It's about Anya.” I said calmly as I could.

 

Kyoko's eyes widened. “What did you do to her Shuichi? Tell me, don't make me beat it out of you.”

 

“She got her butt kidnapped, that's what.” Yusuke snorted.

 

Kyoko's eyes instantly went from shock to anger. “She what! Shuichi! You were supposed to be watching her so I could deal with my problems at hand with Hiei! I can't trust anyone anymore can I!”

 

Luckily for us, there weren't any things she could throw at us in her reach. “I understand that you're angry Kyo-”

 

“Damn right I am!” Kyoko put her hands on her hips.

 

“But we need you to help us find Anya so we can get her home safely.”

 

“Fine, on one condition.” She put her index finger up for emphasis. “You let me come with you. I can't trust you to rescue Anya without my help.”

 

“Absolutely not.” Came Botan's voice from behind us.

 

Yusuke nearly fell off the porch. “Dammit Botan! Why do you always pop up like that!?” he yelled at her.

 

“In that case,” Kyoko said clearing her throat. “I won't help you in finding if I can't go with you.” She turned around. “I'll find her on my own and have my mate take me to her. That is, if I can find him.” She stopped to ponder her last thought. “so, goodbye.” She shut the door.

 

~Kyoko's POV~

 

I can't believe that Anya got herself kidnapped. Who was that girl with blue hair? I'll worry about that later, right now, I have to focus on finding Anya and Hiei. I went up to my room and changed out of my mini-skirt into white jean shorts. I've learned the hard way not to wear a mini skirt into battle. I went onto my balcony and climbed onto the railing. It's times like this that I hate being so short. I'm barely an inch taller than Hiei.

 

I sat on the railing and focused on Anya's energy. I saw a portal then a forest that led to a cave and that's where I'd find Anya. I quickly refocused on a different energy: Hiei's. It didn't take long for me to realize that Hiei was standing right behind me.

 

“Nice evening isn't it Hiei?” I said.

 

“Hn.” Was the reply I got. “I suggest that you re-think helping Kurama.”

 

“I assume you and Shuichi are friends.” I half asked, half stated. Hiei didn't say anything, just glared at me. I sighed. “Fine, but you'll be coming as well?”

 

“Then let's go.” Hiei held out his hand to help me down, I took it.

 

“Oh, I have to tell my mother first.” I said after sliding down the railing like my mother tells me not to. I went into the tearoom to find my mother sitting there sipping her evening tea. “Mother.”

 

She set down her tea. “Yes Kyoko?” she asked.

 

“I'm going with some friends for a while. I don't know exactly when I'll be back either.”

 

“Who are you going with? I need to know that you're safe from what befell your father and grandparents.”

 

“Um. I'mgoingwithShuichifromschoolandmymateHiei.” I said quickly. (translation: I'm going with Shuichi from school and my mate Hiei.)

 

“I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that.”

 

“Shuichi and my mate.”

 

“Mate?”

 

“Yes, I've been claimed by a demon mother.”

 

I closed my eyes to prepare for a bit of yelling, but it never came. Instead I felt my mother's arms around my neck. “Kyoko, you've been hit with the same fate as myself.” She was starting to cry.

 

“Nani?”

 

“Kyoko, you're a hanyou, your father was a demon.”

 

“Mother, you lost me, I thought that demons killed dad and your parents.”

“They did. Your father killed my parents, but he had no orders to kill me. He took pity on me and allowed me to follow him. It was after we had mated and you were conceived that another demon killed your father. I had to suppress your youki because it was so similar to your fathers and others would hunt you because of it. It became especially hard when you started playing with Anya.”

 

“What was her fathers name?” Hiei asked, startling us both.

 

Mother looked at the floor. “Spader.”

 

“Hn.”

 

“Do you know the name Hiei?” I asked.

 

“I've only heard of it. He was a very powerful assassin. There was a high price on his head.”

 

“Father was an assassin?” I turned to mother. “Mother, did you know this?”

 

More tears escaped her eyes. “Yes, I'm afraid so. I knew it from the moment that he killed my parents. Like I said, he had no orders to kill me and took pity. I was only eight when they died.”

 

“Mother, how long have you known about Anya?”

 

“Since you brought her home after your first day of school. I know she's a demon and can sense youki through contact.”

 

“Mother, I have one more request before I leave.”

 

“What is it dear?”

 

“Would you release my youki, onegai?”

 

“Of course.” She placed her hand on the crook of my neck and pressed in. It felt like a great weight was released from my back. “It's gone, I can no longer protect you.” She turned to Hiei. “ I'll leave that to you.”

 

“Hn.” Hiei said with a nod. As we walked out, Hiei said. “Perhaps it was your youkai blood that allowed you to pick up my katana.”

 

“Perhaps.” I agreed. “But let's not think about that right now, we need to find the portal thingy I saw.”

 

“I know exactly what it is.”

 

“Let's hope that we can catch Shuichi.” Hiei `hn'ed and we left to the door. I opened the door to find Shuichi, the girl with blue hair, and Yusuke sitting on the steps. “I'm going and there's nothing you can do about it.”
