Chapter 21: Mukuro's Demand / 36 months-Januarys

Shuichi lay on the cot in the dungeon he was placed in. after they transported here they left him in the room and feed him once a day. Nothing exciting happened so far and it had been a month. What did they want to do? Bring his spirit down?

`Sorry bastards but you did that when you took me away from my family,' he thought.

`When I get hold of their ring leader I'm going to hang him from a really tall tree with my Rose Whip and slowly decapitate him!' growled Youko.

`I'll join you. But we have to get out of here first.'

`Whoever set us in here really knows our limits. Wards everywhere to disable our youki and electrocuted locks.'

`So we can't get out?'

`Not without the key.'

`Damn.'

The door to the cell opened and a guard walked in, but he wasn't carrying food this time.

"The master wants to see you," he grunted.

"It's about freaking time!" Shuichi yelled. "I've been sitting in this dump for a month and he finally graces me with his presence! I feel so special."

The guard led Shuichi to a room with chains on the walls. Motion him to one of chains the guard shackled Shuichi's wrists to the wall.

"Wait here," grunted the guard.

"Sure, it's not like I have anything better to do!"

The guard snarled and walked out.

***************

Mukuro place a few papers aside as she got up. She had just finished a report on a raid to the west of her territory and was scowling for Hiei not being here. She lost fifty of her good soldiers in less than a month and had to replace them! It all started with that damn kitsune whore! If that fox can't see that she was the better mate for Hiei than she would just have to kill him.

She was almost out the door when it opened and Hiei walked in. Speak of the devil.

"Hiei, what a surprise. Did you find Kurama yet?" She thought it better to not get on his bad side so he wouldn't run out on him again.

"I did but bandits captured him and Rahne."

"Rahne?"

"My daughter."

"I'm sorry, would you like to use my scrying tools. It would help you look for them faster."

"Why are you being nice to me all of a sudden? I thought you hated Kurama."

"I did, but know I see that I can't stop you from loving him. I will offer whatever services I can."

"Arigato, Mukuro."

"Anytime, Hiei."

The fire demon left and Mukuro walked the opposite side, toward the lower levels of the palace. Opening a door she walked in.

***************

Shuichi lifted his head when the door opened. About damn time! He has been waiting for two hours and his arms were cramped. He turned his head toward the door as the figure opened it.

"You!" he gasped. "I should have known!"

Mukuro gave a small smile as she closed the door and walked in. Walking over to the fox she played with his hair. He jerked his head away.

"Hello, fox. Did you like your room accommodations?"

"I've had better but then this entire place stinks. If you think that you could make me forget about Hiei you're wrong."

"I'm here to show you an alternative. If you don't deny your love to Hiei at him then I'll kill the most important person in your life."

"Kaasan's dead already! You can't kill her again."

"I'm not talking about you ningen mother. I'm talking about your daughter."

"My daughter?"

"Pretty little kit, red eyes, white hair with a touch of red. She's very beautiful."

"You touch her and I'll-"

"You'll what?"

She snapped her fingers and an orb floated between them. Peering in Shuichi hissed. In the orb he saw Rahne playing in a fancy nursery with a maid. She looked like she was having fun for there was a smile on her face.

"Bitch!" yelled Shuichi. "Let her go or I'll kill you!"

"She is pretty isn't she," said Mukuro. "It would be a shame to destroy such a lovely thing from the world. How about my offer? Will you decline your love for Hiei or will she die."

"How about you go to hell!"

Tsk, tsk, obviously you can't choose. I'll let you think about it." And she left the room. The orb still hung in the air and Shuichi gazed lovely at his child. Hiruiseki was at Rahne's side and the kit clutched the doll's paw tightly. The maid was trying to make her give the doll up for another but Rahne shook her head and clutched the kitsune doll to her chest.

"My Mama gave it to me," she yelled. "I want my Mama!"

"Your mother isn't here right now, honey," said the maid. "He said that he would be here soon."

"I want Mama now!"

Shuichi watched as Rahne argued with the maid and smile. She had Hiei's stubbornness. A tear slid down his cheek as he watched.

"I'm sorry, my rose." `I understand you now, Youko. I know what you meant.'

`Good.'

***************

My God I'm crying as I write this! And I don't know why! Maybe it's because it's so sad. Will Kurama choose to give up Hiei to save Rahne or will he stay with Hiei to kill Rahne. Even I don't know yet. AND I'M WRITING THE STORY!!!
