Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Caged ❯ An Encounter ( Chapter 3 )

Caged

They were getting a tour of the facilities. Hiei had asked specifically to see Simone. Sali had seemed a bit reluctant, but then remembered that Hiei was Mukuro's heir, and working for her. Sali decided they'd stop by.

Hiei wasn't paying any attention to anything but his companion. He no longer considered Yusuke and Kuwabara his companions, since they were acting as bodyguards. He was looking at Kurama, the red headed beauty walking beside him.

The kitsune had been nervous for the longest time now, and Hiei was getting even more nervous. He didn't like the way his friend was acting. He had been shaky since the announcement of the mission. He had been so paranoid that Hiei had had to sleep with him in the bed. Hiei had been up half the night telling Kurama that he was ok, that there was no one lurking in the shadows and that he wouldn't let anything happen to him. Hiei was tired, but was more concerned about his friend for the time being.

"This is where Simone stays," Sali announced. Today it was only Hiei, Kurama, and the two bodyguards that were getting the tour. The other members of the large group had gone to do their own searching.

Hiei looked in the window. That trainer Jofrl was there. He appeared to be talking to Simone. She was sneering at him and was still fidgeting with that steel collar. Finally Jofrl threw up his hands in frustration and turned to the door. Hiei backed away, pulling the kitsune with him. Kurama pliantly hung on his arm. The door opened and Jofrl squeezed through. He smiled at the group.

"Hello Sali," he said. Kurama shivered. Hiei wondered if he had come down with a cold. "Who are these fine buyers?"

"This is Lord Hiei, Mukuro's heir, and this is Ash, his mate," Sali answered. Kurama bowed his head and Hiei just nodded at the trainer.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Jofrl said. He held out his hand, for Hiei to shake. Hiei did. He reached over to Kurama, but the fox didn't respond. He cocked his head to the side. He reached out tentatively and stroked Kurama's cheek. The fox's head shot up. "Milady."

"Hello," Kurama answered. Jofrl smiled.

"How's she doing?" Sali asked the trainer.

"Better. She is responding to the first jolt now. Every time she feels something she complies with a sneer, not like before. It used to take her a few strong jolts. She'll be ready soon, I hope," Jofrl answered. He turned to leave.

"Are we able to go in and see her face to face?" Hiei asked. Jofrl turned to look at him.

"I guess so. Let me get the door for you," he said and opened the door. Kurama started to follow Hiei inside. "You should stay out here little lady, with me."

"She'll be fine," Hiei said. Kurama sent him a relieved glance.

"What do you think?" Jofrl asked Kurama. Kurama bit his tongue. "Do you want to stay out here? Or go in there?"

Kurama nodded.

"Does that mean you want to stay out here?" Jofrl persisted. Kurama didn't do anything. Hiei looked at him quizzically. Kurama's face went blank of all emotion.

"I will stay out here," Kurama said. Hiei was shocked. He swore he thought Kurama hadn't wanted to stay out there with Jofrl. Sali pushed him in the room, following him in, along with Yusuke and Kuwabara.

"Simone?" Sali called. The cat demon looked up from under the bed. "This is Hiei, Mukuro's heir."

Simone smiled knowingly and nodded at Hiei. She flicked the lock on her collar. Hiei nodded knowingly. She could take it off when they had a plan. Sali began speaking.

"Long time no see, Kurama," Jofrl said. He moved over to the frozen fox. Kurama flinched as he felt Jofrl's hands run up his neck and through his hair. He shuddered. "I see you still love my touch."

Kurama shook. Jofrl laughed lowly. He put his arms around the kitsune, pulling him towards his body. Kurama made a small noise of disgust when he felt himself pressed up against that body. Jofrl laughed again.

"Did you miss me? I'm sure you did during those long, cold nights. Is he your new master? I'll take you back from him. I still want your body. I want to make you cry out as I did back then," Jofrl whispered in Kurama's ear. One of his hands ran up Kurama's chest, as the other went down. Kurama couldn't move. He was suddenly aware of the invisible steel collar about his neck. Jofrl continued running his hands over Kurama's body. They heard the door crack open. Jofrl moved away from the kitsune. Sali came out followed by Hiei, Yusuke, and Kuwabara. Kurama moved to Hiei, taking his arm in his own. Hiei gave him a startled look, but went with it. Jofrl winked as they walked away.
