CH 2: An important mission

“In exactly one month, my father and I will die.” Koenma said a bit depressed.

“And this is a bad thing?” Yusuke said jokingly.

“Oh shut up Yusuke. You know very well it is. Just because you’re the demon lord doesn’t mean all the demons will listen to you. Look, this is what happens. If we die, the barrier between the two worlds will fall. Any demon that wants to will cross over to the human world. Reikai will seize to exist and, over all, the world will eventually be over run with spirits and demons. I assume the world will be destroyed after only a short time of this.”

“Didn’t I already tell you I hated tourists?” Hiei scoffed.

Kanu giggled a little at this. Hiei smirked for a split second.

“Ok so we know things are bad. Now, WHY are they bad?” Yusuke wondered why they hadn’t been told already.

“Right. Well there are 5 crystals that maintain the balance and harmony in the worlds. They also are the life force of Makai and all those who live there. There was a protective spell put on them so that only female demons of the element of each crystal can handle them. Unfortunately, all of my guards are male and 3 females broke in and stole 3 of the crystals.”

“Why only 3 of them?” Kurama asked.

“Well I imagine they knew what would happen if they kept them any where near each other. The crystals have a mind of their own. They know when they are being taken and can prevent it, but only when they are kept together. It’s strange and I don’t understand it myself. I find it better not to ask questions. These Crystals are VERY dangerous if left in the hands of those who will use them for evil. You need to get them back.” Koenma said, turning to the girls. “I hope I will have your full cooperation with me on this.”
All three of the Girls nodded.

“Koenma, forgive my rudeness,” Kurama started, “But if they are the ones going on the mission are the girls, then why are we here?”

Koenma laughed. “This is the first mission the girls have gone on. Even though I know they are capable, I need to send you 3 with them to help protect them. You all know your way around Makai and such.”

“I have a feeling he’s not telling us something.” Hiei said in an irritated tone.

“Well, now I need to talk to the girls in private so shoo!” Koenma kicked them out of the office.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~

The group was told that they all had to head in separate directions. Kurama and Sakura had to go to a Makai forest, Hiei and Kanu had to travel through the mountains, and Yusuke and Kara had to go through the dangerous grasslands.

— Kurama POV—

I was a little interested in what Koenma was failing to tell us. I knew he was hiding something from us. I was also sure that Sakura and the other girls had some idea of what that something was. I didn’t feel that it was necessary for me to know at that point though. I Knew if Sakura felt comfortable telling me, she would.
We walked for a good few hours just talking. I felt comfortable because I was in my natural habitat. I was familiar with all the plants and Sakura seemed very interested in my herbal mixtures. She also seemed to like my cooking. I hated to admit it to myself, but I was falling for her. Unfortunately, so was Youko.

‘Well, she’s a nice prey. Sweet and innocent, pure. I bet she has a great body under those clothes.’ he taunted me.

She was pretty, and smart, and nice....

‘Why do you always have to be right?’

‘You know you want her. Why don’t you just drug her. You know how to do it.’

‘Of course I want her, but I will not do that. We need her for this mission. And besides, I will not stoop to your level. Not like that I won’t.’

‘Your loss.’

He shut up for a while after that. We ran into a couple weak demons after lunch. Probably had no idea what was going on. It was interesting how stupid demons could really be. WE set up camp in a secluded area for dinner and sleep. Youko started to bother me again after dinner.

‘Why don’t you just give her something to help her sleep. She’ll never know the difference.’

I ignored him. That wasn’t a good idea. He started to run things through my head. The image of having sex with her till I passed out, of running my hands all over her smooth body. I was having a lot of trouble hiding my arousal from her. The last thing I needed was for her to think I was a pervert.
I managed to make it through the night without her thinking badly of me. I kept myself half alert for most of the night so that we didn’t get attacked. In the morning she approached me.

“Kurama, I want to thank you.” she said politely.

“Thank me for what?” I was confused.

“For resisting your urges. I know about you and Youko. Koenma warned me. He said you were a good guy, but Youko sometimes had other ideas. I noticed you were... excited.. And I got a little worried. But it seems Koenma was right.”

I blushed at that, but was glad she understood.

“Let’s get going.”

— Hiei POV —

We headed for the mountains. Most of the time was spent running and fighting demons that thought they were strong. The mountains are full of them. I was surprised that Kanu didn’t want to stop for food until we got ready to set up camp. She told me she could have kept going, but I wouldn’t have a tired female on my hands. Kurama gave me some food and told me how to heat it up. We ate in silence and I decided to sleep in the tree while she slept down by the fire. I didn’t understand why a fire demon would need a fire but I figured it was one of those confusing female things. I didn’t understand, or want to at any point understand a female. As I sat in the tree I watched her sleep. She was an odd creature. She seemed so troubled, but yet, looked so innocent. She looked like she had been through a tough life like I had. People who had been through things seemed to show it. That’s why I put up a front, didn’t let anything get to me.
I fell asleep after a while, staying semi alert. Half way through the night I was awakened by the sounds of a stressed female. It was Kanu. I jumped down from the tree. She was having a night-mere.

“No....help.... stop it!” she screamed and she shot up in her bed. There was blood and something that smelled like poison on the sheets. Tears were streaming down her face and she looked over at me, grabbing me in an embrace. I was surprised but let her stay there until she calmed down. When she finally let go she felt her back. It was bleeding.

“Not again.” she sighed. “I can’t do this by myself.”

“Do what?” I asked.

“I have to bandage my scars.”

I blushed a bit. “I’ll do it.”

“You can’t. You have to know how to mix a pain killer and antibiotic cream for me.”

I went over to my bag and pulled out something Kurama had given me. “Like this?”

She looked at it. “How did you get this? It’s not what I usually use but I’m sure it will work.”

“Kurama. He forced me to take it. He said he could sense that I would need it.” I replied.

“He smelled the poison.” She took some bandages out of her bag and took off her shirt.

I blushed. I had never seen a woman without clothes before. It was worse because I had an attraction for this woman. I could feel my manhood grow. I pushed the feeling aside and started to wrap her wounds.

“How did you get these?” I was curious.

“When I was younger, my father tried to kill me with acid, but only injured me. He killed my mother and killed himself soon after from remorse. Luckily my best friend found me and took me to her house. Her mother took care of me. Apparently he had been slowly poisoning me as well but it hadn’t affected me. The reason the scars are only on the base of my back is because my mother laid on top of me to shield me. That’s how she died.”

I had a feeling that was only half of the pain she had been through. She started to shiver. She looked through her bag for some clothes but all she had was thin strap shirts. I took one of my long sleeve shirts out of my bag and threw it to her. She told me she didn’t want to get it bloody but I told her it was only a shirt. She seemed to be having trouble laying on the hard ground. I sat against a tree and told her to come over to me. I told her to lay against me. I couldn’t stand to see her suffer. It is true I am a killer, but I never let things suffer unless they deserve it. She was asleep soon after.

— Yusuke POV—

Kara was an inu youkai. Meaning, she was part dog. She ran through the grasslands sniffing everything. It was hard to keep up with her. She didn’t stop running until sundown. I set up camp and she cooked something for us to eat. After we ate her delicious meal she pounced me and started making out with me. Threw me for a loop. This girl, she was incredible. After a long make out session, which, by the way, ended up leaving me hard with no way to relieve the intense desire, we ended up talking. She told me about everything she could think of. Everything except her past, that is. She was a confusing woman. First the’s making out with me like there’s no tomorrow, then she wants to talk. I hate women sometimes. We ended up holding each other all night.
