Scene 40 ------------------------------------------- Almost A Half Hour Later

* Everyone looks up when they hear Puu's shriek not far away.


Yusuke- About time..

Kurama- Shishi said they had to wake Kuwabara up.


* Clint looks at Lazurama as he sips at another stalk of the Milk plant.


Clint- So.. you're a Clan leader,.. huh?


* Lazurama hesitantly glances toward Kurama, who is fussing with Heido's shoulder length silver hair, then nods. Both of the fox kits had finally gathered enough strength to return to their young, youko forms. Lazurama is tending to his daughter's hair in likewise manner.


Clint- How did you get that position?



* Now Lazurama looks at the cat hybrid who shrugs.


Clint- You don't have to answer, I'm just trying to kill time.

Lazurama- Our Father went out with a group to hunt..

Kurama- And didn't return.


* Clint glances back and forth between the two kitsunes as they speak.


Lazurama- The group was ambushed by another group of hunters..

Kurama- Yes.

Clint- Sorry to hear that.

Lazurama- It wasn't your fault.

Clint- What kind of demons were they?

Kurama- It doesn't matter..

Lazurama- It was a very long time ago..

Jonelle- Oww, Dadddy! Don't pull it so hard!

Lazurama- Sorry, dear.. I'll try not to do it again.

Kurama- Over a thousand years or more, correct, Laz?

Lazurama- Eighteen hundred.. But who's counting.


* When the two grow quiet it leaves Clint with a weird feeling. Their awkward glances toward him doesn't help much. Finally, he sighs.


Clint- They were cat demons.. Right?


* Kurama and Lazurama exchange glances.


Kurama- If you must know.. yes.. Led by a ruthless white tiger..


* Yusuke raises a hand to rub the bridge of his nose.


Yusuke- (Mumbled) Aww, d---.. Here we go again..

Lazurama- His name was Byakko the Terrible.


* Clint lowers his eyes a moment, then stands and moves away mumbling to himself.


Clint- (Mumbling) Fate strikes again.


* Lazurama tilts his head curiously as he looks at Kurama.


Kurama- (Quietly) Byakko was his Great Grandfather.


* Lazurama looks away with a deep sigh.


Yusuke- Okay.. Is all of the family closet stuff out of the way?! I thought Demon World was a much bigger place. Geesh!


* Silence falls over the group as the rest of the group finally reaches them. Kuwabara slides off of Puu when the big bird lands. He stops when he sees Hiei curled up beside Yusuke.


Kuwabara- Hey! You found the runt! - He is still alive, isn't he?


* When Kuwabara kneels to poke at the hibernating koorime Yusuke smacks his hand away.


Yusuke- Yes, he's alive.. Do you wanna stay that way, too?! He's healing because he had to rip a really ugly parasite demon out of his chest.


* Kuwabara eeps and looks at Yusuke.


Kuwabara- Eeww.. How did you find him up here? Was he with the fox?


* Kuwabara looks around.


Kuwabara- Did you even find the fox? Don't tell me Hiei can turn into..!


* Yusuke reaches over to thump Kuwabara's forehead.


Yusuke- If you can shut up long enough I'll tell you what happened, you idiot!


* Kuwabara rubs the center of his forehead.


Yusuke- Now, why don't you all gather around while Uncle Yusuke tells you the story, kiddies.


* In a gust of wind that nearly bowls Yusuke over and messes up Kuwabara's hair, yet again, Jin beats the other newcomers over to float in front of Yusuke. Kuwabara pushes the Mazoku off of him and yanks his comb out with an annoyed humph. Yusuke rolls his eyes then begins to bring the rest of the group up to date, ignoring two giggling kitsune kids.
