Chapter Fifteen: Dream Guardians

Yukina looked fearfully at the door. It had been two hours since Goki finished his torture session and she was worried about her friend. Kira has been unconscious for the better half of three hours. ~ Damn that demon. Why did he have to do that to us? I just don't understand. And where are Botan-san and the others? ~ Yukina thought as she cradled Kira's head in her lap. Yukina looked down at her sister-in-law; bruises started forming on Kira's face and arms. Yukina frowned. She didn't understand why the demon held such an enormous grudge against her brother that he had to take it out on her brother's pregnant mate. Yukina her self was unharmed, saved for the bruised cheek.

"I won't let that monster touch you again, Kira-chan, for your sake, the cubs' sake and for my brother's." Yukina vowed as she stroked Kira's hair, Her crimson eyes glowing with a fire.

Hours passed by slowly and Kira was still not responding to Yukina's gentle prodding to wake up.

"Please, Kira, wake up soon." Yukina begged quietly. Unknown to Yukina, a female demon watched the whole thing.

*~*~*~*

Senko paced Rando's throne room. She had seen each and everything that happened to Kira and Yukina. To say she was mad or even pissed was an understatement.

"How dare he undermine what I told him?" She snarled. "Stupid brute, I would take him out myself if it weren't for the fact Hiei-san and the others are coming."

She stopped pacing and flopped down on the throne, holding the bridge of her nose. ~There has to be a way for me to get Hiei and the others here faster…Wait a minute…~

*~*~*~*

Hiei sat in a tree. His face hardened in anger. ~How dare that demon even look upon my mate let alone touch her. ~ He growled to himself as his hand tightened around his katana. Every thing around him was quiet, too quiet for his tastes. He wanted to hear his mate's voice again, her laugh that seemed to brighten the lost dismal night, to see her smile, to hold her but he couldn't not right now.

Suddenly there was noise. Two people yelling at a third to wait up. Voices that Hiei knew well.

*~*~*~*

"Kurama, Wait up man…" Yusuke yelled at the red-haired fox demon. He and Kuwabara had followed Kurama when the humanized fox demon took off after reading some note, the fire in Kurama's eyes told them that whoever wrote that note won't have a very pleasant death. Kurama just ignored his friends as he ran up to the tree Hiei was perched in.

"Hiei, please let me help…She's my sister…" Kurama begged. Yusuke and Kuwabara arrived shortly after.

"What's going on?" Kuwabara asked.

"SOME DEMONS KIDNAPPED KIRA AND THE OTHER GIRLS AT THE TEMPLE WHILE WE WERE LISTENING TO THAT TODDLER" Hiei snapped, Kuwabara and Yusuke's eyes widened.

"Everyone?"

"Hai, Yusuke. Keiko, Shizuru, Yukina, Botan, and Kira." Kurama said quietly. He rubbed his ears as a nervous habit. "We need to be unified if we are going to bring these demons down."

"Let me guess, Rando, Goki and the doctor?" Kuwabara asked.

"Yes" A female voice said. A tall demon stepped out from behind the tree she was hiding behind. Wine colored hair reached down to her mid back and was twisted into a simple braid. Her green fighting gi clung to her body like a second skin. Her light blue eyes were twinkled with knowledge lost to the ages. A pair of black raven wings folded neatly at her back, hiding her weapon, a staff.

"And you are?" Yusuke asked, everyone went on edge, not knowing if this demon was a threat or not.

"Senko, I'm a puppet master and a Dream Guardian…but the reason I came was to show you the way to Kira-san and the others." She said, glancing up at Hiei. Hiei glared back at her.

"How can know to trust you?" Kuwabara asked.

"Because she works for me." Koenma said as he appeared behind them. Yusuke jumped.

"MUST YOU DO THAT?" Yusuke yelled at the now teen Koenma.

"Did I scare you, Yusuke?" Koenma teased lightly. Kurama and Hiei had enough.

"Koenma, Sir, can you please tell us what's going on?" Kurama asked.

"Gentlemen meet my undercover agent Senko. When we found out what Rando's plans were, we sent her in to try and stop any plans." Koenma said.

"Most of witch I have…I however was unable to prevent some…um…pain." Senko supplied, looking around at the team.

"Tell me has Yukina-chan been injured?" Kuwabara asked, grabbing a hold of Senko's arms.

"A little…It seems that the soul sucking brute rather angry at Hiei and Kurama for turning his back on him when Yusuke was fighting him." She twisted out of Kuwabara's grip. Hiei's hand tightened around his hilt and Kurama's hand fisted tightly, his nails digging into the flesh of his palm, trickles of blood filtered though his fingers.

*~*~*~*

Kira sat alone in the dark. Pain ebbed at the corner of her mind as she tried to make sense of what happened. Hiei had left her, in a fit of rage, after the loss of their cubs.

You're useless…

I never loved you…The only one I love is myself…you were just a distraction, something to conquer, and I did…

I said we're though…Can't you get that though you're stupid youko mind...

I have a new lover and she is a lot better than you, you worthless kitsune, and she can bear me stronger Heirs than you ever could….

You weak youko….Can't even protect yourself less alone MY heirs….

I WANT NOTHING MORE TO DO WITH YOUR WORTHLESS HIDE…get out of my sight before I kill you….

Those six sentences ran over and over again, like a broken record, in her mind. Kira pulled her knees to her chest and rocked herself slowly back and forth, tears streaming down her cheeks. Self- hatred ran rampant though her veins. Kira's main thoughts were how right Hiei was before she curled herself into a ball and whimpered in her pain.

Kitsune: How's that? I know it's been awhile since I updated, but I had some flames to get over and writers block. I would like to thank my grandfather for the inspiration he gave me via a dream to continue my writing. I know he's proud of me and proud of my stories. Please read and review, NO FLAMES. Constructive criticism is welcomed however. Flames however go directly to Saiyan and she burns them. Trust me Fire and Saiyan don't mix.

Saiyan: Feh…Just because I'm a pyro, I get blamed for everything

Kitsune: *looks over at her* I am so not going there.

Saiyan: *tries to look innocent (trust me it looks scary)* What?

Kitsune: Nothing Saiy, nothing. Anyways I would like to quote something I heard on Judging Amy the other day. Donna was talking to Vincent, the writer. "It is easier to criticize than to create…" She said in reference to Vincent's reviews on his book. I really like that quote and I take it to heart. Now that I am done babbling, Please R&R. Ja ne peeps.
