Chapter10: All I Want for Christmas is You

Hiei collected the tear gems and put them in a pouch before putting it in his pocket. He did it again. That was the fifth time this month. Yes, he was keeping track. He never cried till Kurama left and now he was. The information Tina gave him was small but good enough for a suspicion. According to the guard her mistress' name is Shuichi and left her lover because he didn't her anymore. That was all Tina could say. He had her repeat many time the story but each time was the same so he got nothing new. One thing puzzled him, the youko was a girl with a baby, Kurama was a male and certainly can't get pregnant. Can he?

Hiei looked up at the sky. Today was that damned ningen holiday called Christmas. It was to celebrate some baby's birth that they thought would be special. Hiei didn't really want to participate in it the first time but Kurama made him come to a "Christmas party" and Hiei went to get the fox off his hair, however he only stayed for a few minutes to prove he was there and left. He left to his favorite tree, the one outside Kurama's window. When the fox came back after the party he had called Hiei down and presented him with gifts from the gang. Hiei was shocked to find that they had given him presents, even that idiot Kuwabara, and unwrapped them in front of Kurama. The fox was happy that Hiei liked his gifts especially the one from the fox, an assassin dagger with a dragon etched onto the blade. Hiei carried the blade now, safely secured in his boot. This Christmas he wanted nothing more than his fox back, and then he would be happy.

"Are we leaving now," growled Tina. Hiei turned to look at the guard. The ningen woman refused to stay at Genkai's temple and insisted on joining him to find her mistress. Hiei didn't care, but he wasn't taking care of her.

"Don't have a heart attack," he growled. "We're leaving."

They had spent the last few months looking for the youko girl. He was furious to hear that there were twenty different prison camps and he almost burned her to a crisp. They've checked five so far because he had to walk slowly for her to keep up and that made him more frustrated. But he admitted that she was a fierce warrior. Several demons attacked them and she managed to watch both their backs even through she wasn't spiritually aware. She had gotten a few scratches but always nothing serious. He found out she could keep her own and he began to rely on her to a degree.

"The next one is over that ridge," said Tina pointing in the direction. Hiei walked to the ridge and looked down at the two mile long dome. It looked no different than the others, but hopefully this one had the informant he needed. He took of the ward for his Jagan and Looked. Inside he found several youko and various other creatures but not the one he and Tina were looking for. Putting the ward back he shook his head.

"Damn it," growled Tina and punched a tree. It cracked and splintered with the force and snow clumps fell.

"Are you crazy?!" growled Hiei, grabbing her wrist. "Do you want to be caught?!" He ran out of there as fast as he could, Dragging her along. When they were far enough away he let go of her and she fell in the snow.

"Which way now," he asked crossing his arms and looking away from her. She got up and dusted the snow off her.

"First of all it's another three weeks walk from here," she said. "Second you ran in the wrong direction! If you had gone north instead of south it would have cut our walk to a week but with your running you made it longer!

"Don't snap back at me human! I can slice you to pieces in a second!"

"But then you won't know where the camps are and I'm the only one you have that does know. So you need me!"

Hiei growled but didn't say anything. It was true he needed her to find those camps then he'll interrogate that Shuichi girl and hopefully find Kurama.

`I'm coming, fox,' he thought.

"Hiei!"

He looked up to see Botan flying at top speed on her oar. He walked up to her and listened to her babble.

"Genkai found something on youko! She wants you to go to the temple right away!"

"I'm there. Take her." He jerked his thump over his shoulder at Tina and ran to the portal. He ran towards the temple as Botan flew in with Tina.

"What have you found," said Hiei walking up to Genkai.

"Hello to you too, Hiei," said Genkai and led them to the dojo. "I have found a small bit of information but I'm afraid it really doesn't solve our mystery."

"What have you found," repeated Hiei.

"In a hurry aren't we? I have found that male youkos mating are still a mystery outside youko communities but what people have collected isn't much. They mate for life which is why they rarely mate outside of their community."

"What does this have to do with Kurama," demanded Hiei.

"I'm getting to that. Sometimes when a male youko has another mate of the same sex they have children but never gave an explanation of where they came from."

"You're saying male youko can have kids," asked Tina and Genkai nodded.

"It's been suspected but no truth has been found."

`Was that what Kurama tried to tell me,' thought Hiei, `that he was having a baby?'

"How," he asked aloud. "How can he have a baby?"

"I do not know, but once we find him he will tell us. And who the father is."

"When *I* find him," said Hiei and stood up. "Yusuke and the others have put too much time in thins, they're half dead. I'm used to going a long time with out food pr rest. I will go."

"Hiei, we're trying to help," said Botan and Hiei rounded on her.

"I don't need help! Or anyone's sympathy! I just want to find Kurama!"

"Then you'll need me," said Tina. "You said my mistress was the closest thing to a clue you've found yet. You need me."

Hiei looked at her and walked out. Tina took the silent order and followed.
