Kurama: Mukuro5...For one thing you don't live there and for another why did you say that?

Yusuke: Live from New York it's Sat...

 

Kurama: Not you too Yusuke!

 

mukuro5: I don't own YYH, the news, or even Saturday Night Live. I do own Shin (pronounced Shine), Muie and a character soon to come.

Chapter 4: What's Your Intentions?

 

“What's going on!” Yusuke yelled.

 

“It's sleeping…gas,” Kuwabara said before he fell to the ground.

 

“Muie!” Mukuro yelled, grabbing her daughter's hand and running up the stairs.

 

“Mother, what's going on?” Muie yelled as she continued to get dragged by Mukuro.

 

“We are under attack. Now quite! We don't need them to find you,” Mukuro ordered, running into Hiei's room.

 

----Back Downstairs----

 

When the smoke became less thick you could see on the ground lie Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei and Yukina. It was obvious that the sleeping gas was stronger than normal. It was even able to over come the strongest of the group without much of a fight.

 

----With Mukuro and Muie----

 

The smoke started up the stairs, and started seeping through the crake under the door.

 

“Mother, I'm frightened,” Muie whispered.

 

“Don't be,” she said as the blue smile filled the room.

 

Mukuro started to doze off no matter how hard she tried to fight it. “Muie, go out onto…the balcony and run…into the forest,” Mukuro managed out before she fell unconscious to the ground.

 

“Mother!” Muie yelled, shacking her mother's shoulders.

 

When Mukuro didn't wake, Muie did what she was told. She hesitantly ran through the glass balcony doorway that was left open from the previous night. She looked back at her mother before she jumped from the balcony and run towards the forest that surrounded the house. Yet no one seemed to notice the black bat demon with its arms crossed standing on the roof. He gave a small grin at the fleeing demon child.

 

Muie kept running as fast as her legs could take her. It wasn't long till she was in the darkest part of the forest. She stopped, and looked around the damp trees. Then she noticed a red gem swinging side to side. Strangely it had vanished as quickly as it had appeared.

 

“Who's there?” Muie asked, looking around franticly.

 

Movement of leaves was the only response. Now let me tell you a little something about Muie: She is just like her father. She doesn't like to be ignored when she asks a question. So since whatever it was didn't want to answer her eyes turned a bright red.

 

“I said `who's there'!” Muie said angrily.

 

“Someone who will take your head,” answered a sly voice.

 

Muie's eyes stopped glowing as she looked towards where the voice came from. The darkness of the forest was still and uncaring. The wind picked up as if to add to little Muie's anxiety.

 

“Are you the one who sent the letter?” Muie asked with that innocence only a child could have.

 

“Yes,” it answered.

 

“I'll go with you as long as you don't touch my family,” Muie said, crossing her arms in front of her.

 

As an answer to that, a bat demon walked into her view. He wore a white skirt that was cut all the way up to his thighs. There were black skin tight pants under the skirt that was being held up be a crooked belt. He wore a black tattered, sleeveless shirt that showed his muscles. A front part of a tattered black hat was held on with some kind of strap and his raven black hair came out of the top in a ponytail.

 

“Don't touch her!” yelled a female voice.

 

The bat demon just gave an annoyed sigh as a female came walking out of the shadows. She wore a black, long-sleeve shirt and black bell-bottoms. Her hair was mid-back, jet-black with light navy blue tips, eyes a light purple, and she stood at 5' 8”.

 

“Who are you?” Kuronue asked, looking at the female with great annoyance.

 

“Name's Shin. Now I suggest you beat it. I won't let you harm this little girl,” Shin warned.

 

Muie turned to the sixteen-year-old looking girl. “Please. My family is hurt back at my Uncles' house. Help,” Muie pleaded.

 

“Then go. I'll hold off this weak demon,” Shin said, pulling out two ninja stars from the pouch on her side.

 

“Weak? Fine! Let's see who's weak,” Kuronue said.

 

Muie ran back to the house without even a second thought. She never looked back as she ran as fast as she could. When she ran into the house Hiei and Kurama was just coming to.

 

“Father! Uncle Youko!” Muie yelled, running over to them.

 

“Muie, where is your mother?” Hiei asked, standing up.

 

“Right here,” Mukuro answered, walking into the room.

 

“Mother!” Muie cried, hugging Mukuro.

 

Yusuke and Kuwabara started to come to when Mukuro came into the room. Yusuke grabbed his head as if he had a major headache. Kuwabara just took a few moments to even realize where he was.

 

“What happened?” Yusuke asked, getting to his feet slow enough so he wouldn't topple over.

 

“All I remember is the window broke and smoke filled the room,” Kuwabara answered, standing up as well.

 

“It was that guy! The guy that sent the warning letter!” Muie exclaimed, looking at her Uncles and Aunt who had woken up when Kuwabara did.

 

“Kuronue? You saw him!” Kurama asked.

 

“Kurama, maybe you should sit down. You're still in…” Yukina was cut off.

 

“It is almost all gone. I will be fine,” Kurama reassured her.

 

“I'm not sure. He said he was,” Muie answered.

 

“Can you tell me what he looked like?” Kurama asked, bending down to Muie's level.

 

“He wore all black and a black hat that looks like it went through a bunch of fights. He had bat wings, and he carried around a pretty red stone.”

 

Kurama looked shocked at what was just told to him. “It is him. It's really him! But I thought he died many years ago,” Kurama thought, over come by several types of emotion.

 

“Is it he?” Yukina asked.

 

Kurama snapped out of it, and stood to his feet. “Yes. Where is he, Muie?”

 

“This girl…She said she'd hold him off in the forest so I could come here,” Muie answered.

 

Just then everyone, but Kuwabara and Yukina, turned to the door. There stood the girl, but she was bleeding from cuts and gashes on her arms, face, and her right leg. She was holding her left arm with blood dripping to the floor. Her clothes were tattered yet she had a warm smile on.

 

“Shin!” Muie yelled, running to her.

 

“Glade to see you made it back safely, Sweetie,” Shin said, giving Muie the warmest smile she had ever seen.

 

“You're hurt…” Muie trailed off with tears coming to her eyes.

 

“It's alright,” Shin said, bending down to her, “I'll live. Just some cuts and a broken arm. Nothing too serious.”

 

Hiei and Mukuro walked over to the two. Shin looked up at them as her smile began to vanish.

 

“You must be her parents,” Shin stated more than asked, standing up.

 

“Yes. Who are you?” Mukuro asked.

 

“This is the lady that helped me,” Muie answered for Shin.

 

“So where's the demon you fought?” Kurama asked, walking over to them.

 

“He's dead,” she answered.

 

“You killed him!” Kurama howled.

 

Shin just gave a shy nod. She didn't expect to get yelled at right off. Kurama took out his rose and transformed it into the whip without so much as a second thought. He was just about to attack Shin when Muie got in the way.

 

“Uncle Youko! Please, don't. She rescued me,” Muie announced once again.

 

“Muie, move,” Kurama ordered, locking eyes with Shin.

 

“No!” Muie objected, eyes glowing furious red.

 

“Fox, we don't need to start a war,” Hiei declared, “Besides, you said before he was dead.”

 

“I thought he was. Apparently he was not,” Kurama said.

 

“You are wrong. When I fought him, he was dead,” Shin announced.

 

“What do you mean?” Kurama questioned coldly.

 

“It wasn't him…It wasn't Kuronue. Just some shape shifter demon,” Shin explained.

 

“Uncle Youko, please don't start a fight,” Muie pleaded.

 

Kurama nodded as he transformed his whip back into a rose.

 

“I best go. I don't want to start up anything. Bye, Sweetie,” Shin said, giving Muie one last smile before walking out of the house.

 

“Wait!” Muie screamed, running after her.

 

Shin stopped and looked back at her peruser.

 

“Please stay. Uncle Youko can heal some of your wounds. Bedsides it's pitch back out here,” Muie started giving off reasons to influence Shin to stay.

 

“I don't think he likes me very well,” Shin admitted.

 

“Please!”

 

Mukuro walked out. “You saved my daughter…the least we can do is heal your wounds. Stay,” she politely invited even though she did not trust this new person.

 

“It would help. If I go now I'd probably get killed. I'll stay if it's truly alright,” Shin gave in.

 

Muie grabbed Shin's sleeve, and ran into the house while pulling Shin along. Mukuro smile at her now happy daughter and followed. Hiei, Kuwabara, and Yukina were all ready gone from the room. Kurama was sitting on the couch while Yusuke was sitting on the other couch talking.

 

“Uncle Youko, can you help heal Shin?” Muie asked sweetly, putting on the irresistible eyes.

 

“Muie…I would be glad to,” Kurama answered, looking over to Shin.

 

“Thank you!” Muie yelled, running over and hugging him.

 

“This way,” Kurama gestured, walking passed Shin and up the stairs.

 

Shin followed slowly as Kurama took her to his room.

 

“Sit down somewhere,” Kurama ordered coldly.

 

So Shin immediately sat down on a chair that was next to the window on the back wall. Kurama walked over to her, and pulled out some plates from his hair.

 

“You are lucky Muie is so fond of you,” Kurama explained, crushing up the plants in a small white bowl that was on the desk next to the chair.

 

“So her name is Muie? Cute name for a cute girl,” Shin stated friendly.

 

Kurama knelt down, and started sprinkling the crushed plants on the wounds. “Why did you save her? Is it so you could collect the bounty on her head for yourself?” Kurama asked coldly, but never looking up at her.

 

“Of course not! She was a little girl in trouble. It was like when I was a child. I thought at least I could do is help her live to get a better life then me,” Shin tried to defend herself.

 

Kurama stood up from his kneeling position. “Your wounds should heal fast enough. After all, demons heal faster than humans,” Kurama said, picking up the bowl he used to crush the plants in.

 

“You know!” Shin exclaimed, standing to her feet obviously scared.

 

“It is hard to miss the smell of demon in your blood. Muie is too young to know not to trust all demons. So she trusts almost everyone she meets. Everyone else does not. Here is your one warning: Watch your step,” Kurama warned, walking to the door.

 

“Muie called you Youko. Well, Youko, I will watch what I do,” Shin agreed to the warning.

 

“Don't you ever call me that!” Kurama threatened before he walked out of the room.

 

“Cheerful guy,” Shin said sarcastically as she walked out of Kurama's room.

 

Shin walked down the stairs but only Hiei, Mukuro, and Yusuke were in the living room now.

 

“I have an extra kimono if you wish to change out of your battered clothes,” Mukuro offered, looking over to Shin.

 

“Umm…Yeah. That'd be great. Thank you,” Shin answered.

 

Mukuro walked up the stairs and to her and Hiei's room.
