Kitsune-bi

Chapter 2

 

Hiei slowly walks back down the tower towards his room in Torin, worry etched in his face. As he covered his Jagan with his usual white bandanna, he mulled over what he knew surrounding the fox's disappearance. He had thought it was strange when the fox was not home about two weeks ago; his bedroom window had been locked and there was no signs of his youki anywhere. After picking the lock on the window, Hiei did a search of the small apartment. Nothing was out of place; it was impeccably clean as usual. Not a single item was misplaced. Lying down on his bed in his private quarters in Torin, Hiei knew it would be another long night, just like all the ones that came before.

 

For days after they realized Kurama was missing, Hiei would pace around the palace, going over every aspect of the kitsune's apartment, making sure he didn't miss anything. His temper grew shorter as his concern for the fox grew. Yuusuke's teasing that Hiei was going to wear a path in his halls was met with a glare that would kill, if looks could kill. At some point in the long and quiet night, Hiei fell into a light sleep, haunted by his questions regarding the fox's wellbeing.

 

The next morning, he wakes up to the knocking of a servant at his door notifying him to go to Yuusuke's private conference room. The fiery youkai enters the meeting room to see that Koenma had already called the palace. “Ah, Hiei, you're here. We can get started then,” Koenma starts, shuffling through some papers on his crowded desk.

 

“What've you got, toddler?” Yuusuke asks, trying to lighten up the mood. Hiei's tense aura had not escaped his notice.

 

“No strange movements between the Makai and the Ningenkai according to the records of the past few weeks. No energy signals indicating an unauthorized portal had been opened during that time either. Says here Kurama last used his private portal around eight two weeks ago. No activity from it since either.”

 

Hiei mulls over that new piece of information, frowning as he came to a conclusion. “He must be imprisoned somewhere. That stupid fox goes to the Ningenkai once a week to visit his mother.”

 

“Anything else on Kurama's movements?” Yuusuke asks, “I know you have a file on all of us.”

 

Koenma shifts uncomfortably in his chair. “I'm not supposed to-”

 

Hiei slams his fist onto the table, startling Koenma into silence. “To hell with your stupid Reikai rules! Just tell us what you have!” Yuusuke raised an eyebrow at Hiei's display of anger. It was rare for the fire youkai to show that much emotion at once.

 

“Nothing out of the ordinary. We are not allowed to track his movements once he's out of our jurisdiction. If something happened, it happened in the Makai.” Hiei clenches his fist, small streams of smoke coming from the wrappings. It only confirmed his theory that Yomi had to be involved in some way.

 

The half-Koorime takes a breath to calm himself before he spoke again. “Tomorrow night, at the party, we'll need to be careful. Yomi must be involved.”

 

“We'll keep an eye out for Kurama should he return to the Ningenkai,” Koenma says, “But I'm afraid that's all we can do from here.”

 

As the screen shuts off, someone knocks on the door. Yuusuke cracks the door open to see one of the castle guards. “Lord Yuusuke, the latest report,” a servant says, handing a scroll to Mazoku lord.

 

“Thank you,” Yuusuke says, taking the scroll and unrolling it. Most of the information on the page was army movements. It was a small section near the end of the report that caught his attention. “Hiei, come here and read this. I think we've found Kurama.”

 

Hiei was next to Yuusuke in the blink of an eye and his ruby eyes flew from side to side as Hiei read that section of the report. “No, this has to be wrong! He said he would stay away from that infernal goat, that he had turned him away!” Hiei storms off, nearly wrenching the door off its hinges in the process.

 

Yuusuke gives a small smile once Hiei was gone. It was rare for the fire youkai to be showing that much emotion. `I wonder . . .'

Kurama rolls over as he wakes up to see Yomi sleeping next to him. Fingering the pendant and remembering the events of the prior night once the pair went to bed, he smiles. Looking at Yomi's peaceful sleeping face, the fox snuggles up closer to his lover. As he did so, he frowns as guilt suddenly sweeps over his body. His mind kept on screaming at him something was wrong, that this was not right. Fuzzy images formed in his mind, something vaguely resembling a short person wrapped in a black cloak with equally black hair that defied gravity and stood straight up. Kurama concentrates, trying to see if his mind could recall other details about this person, but none came to mind.

 

“What's the matter?” Yomi asks awakened by Kurama's snuggles. Kurama looks up with a smile on his face, all concerns gone now that he had his lover's complete attention. “Nightmare?”

 

“Nothing, just thinking back to the wonderful night we had earlier,” Kurama replies, untangling himself from the goat youkai to stretch. Feeling something rub against his leg, he faces Yomi to give him a foxy grin. “Does someone want help with that?”

 

“Maybe,” came the reply, “We should make this quick though. We need to make sure your clothes fit you for tomorrow's party.”

 

“Whatever you say,” Kurama says, turning the goat youkai on his back as he flips his bright red hair. Straddling him, the fox bends over, letting his crimson hair flow over his shoulders and onto Yomi's chest like fresh lava. “But I think you'll find that you won't want this to end any time soon,” he whispers as he begins his ministrations.

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

“Ready, Hiei?” Yuusuke asks as he checks his pack again. “If we leave now, we will have half a day to check around Gandara for signs of Kurama.”

 

“Hn,” Hiei grunts, checking his katana. Hoisting a small pack over his shoulder, he walks towards the castle gates, clearly impatient to get going.

 

Yuusuke turns to Hokushin, who had his head bowed next to the door. “Hokushin, I'm leaving you in charge for now. Send me a message if you need anything or if you receive news regarding Kurama. I want to know immediately if we get any information from our spies in Gandara. Also, I want you to send a message to Kuwabara in the Ningenkai. Tell him to patrol `that place'. He'll know where I mean.”

 

Hokushin bowed low, “Yes my lord. I will see to it everything gets carried out.”

 

To be continued . . .
