Brides

Kurama moaned and smiled to herself. She could smell Hiei, the little demon was right next to her. Grinning, Kurama’s hands wandered up one smooth, bare leg and under Hiei’s short skirt.

"Ah!" cried out Hiei, slapping the hand that grabbed her behind. "Baka Kitsune! Are you awake?!"

Kurama smiled and opened her eyes to look at Hiei. "Yes, I am. So..." she rolled on top of the smaller Koorime. "Lets have some fun, ne?"

"Are you stupid!" shouted Hiei, struggling under her. "Have you forgotten what’s going on?!"

Kurama moved to bring one leg up more so she could get in a better position. She stopped and looked over her shoulder to see the chain around her ankle. "What the-?"

"Baka, now do you remember?" asked Hiei underneath her. "Remember about these too," said the Koorime, poking Kurama in the bust.

"Oh!" said Kurama, sitting back. "I thought it was a weird dream," she said, reaching up to feel her now full chest. She glanced down at Hiei and without warning flipped up the ex-demon’s skirt.

"What do you think your doing?!" shouted Hiei clasping her hands over the short skirt and glaring at Kurama.

"So you’re a girl too. That must be Echi’s power, to change a person’s sex."

Hiei nodded. "He does it with help from that white glove on his hand; he can also change a demon into a human. That’s why I can no longer use my ki."

"I see," said Kurama, reaching into her hair. "Then I’ll grow something to get us out of these chains." She kept feeling in her hair for a long time. "W-what?!" shouted Kurama, pulling her hand out. "Gone! All my seeds are gone!" She tried to focus her ki, but nothing happened.

"You’ve been warded," said Hiei, pointing at a paper band wrapped around one of Kurama’s arms.

"Great!" hissed Kurama, going over to the chain and inspecting it. "Maybe I can pick it," she muttered under her breath.

Both snapped their heads up as Echi opened the door and walked in.

"Ah, you two look beautiful," said Echi with a wide grin on his face. "I’m going to enjoy this." He undid the clasps that held his cape and let it fall to the floor.

"Kurama," said Hiei, hiding behind the redhead.

"This isn’t good," said Kurama as Echi pulled off his shirt.

"Ahh!" screamed both girls as Echi jumped on the bed.

* * * * * * * * *

Yuusuke and Kuwabara had lost the little neko girl.

"Where did she go?" said Kuwabara, looking around.

"There she is!" said Yuusuke pointing at the little neko demon peeking into one of the rooms. They ran over to her.

"So, where’s Kura- er I mean pretty, pretty?" asked Kuwabara, kneeling down next to the little cat demon.

"Pretty, pretty in here, but Echi-sama playing with them," said the neko demon, clasping a hand over her eyes.

"Playing with them?" said Yuusuke. Just then they heard screaming inside the room.

"Kurama! Hiei!" shouted Yuusuke, barging into the room.

* * * * * * * * *

"Look out, Hiei," said Kurama, pushing the small Koorime out of the way. Unfortunately putting herself in danger as Echi jumping on top of the redhead.

"I’ve got you now, baby," said Echi, leaning down to kiss the redhead.

"Oh, no you don’t!" shouted Hiei, grabbing him by the ears from behind.

"You want to play too, sugar?" asked Echi, grabbing Hiei by the front of her Kimono and easily tossing the light Koorime down next to Kurama.

"The more the merrier," said Echi.

"Ahh!" screamed Hiei and Kurama.

The door slammed open and Yuusuke came charging in.

"Bastard! What are you-" Yuusuke mouth dropped open as the scene. He took in everything from Echi’s position, to the very famine shapes of Hiei and Kurama.

"Hiei… Kurama…. You’re both girls!" he shouted, backing up into Kuwabara as he entered the room.

"How dare you!" shouted Echi from the bed.

"Yuusuke! Don’t let him touch you with that glove!" shouted Kurama.

"It’ll turn you into a human woman!" shouted Hiei.

Kuwabara and Yuusuke turned slightly green at the idea.

"Could you wait just a few more minutes, ladies, I’ll be back after I take care of those two," grinned Echi, rolling off the bed.

Yuusuke cracked his knuckles. "No one touches Kurama and Hiei with out my permission!" roared the raven-haired man, leaping forward at Echi. One fist nailed Echi in the gut, another the face, then again the guts. Yuusuke pummeled the demon with several hard hits. He drew back his fist and struck right under Echi’s chin, lunching him up into the ceiling. Echi’s head crashed through the roof and he hung from it.

Kurama and Hiei stared up at the demon from the bed.

"Ha! That was easy," smirked Yuusuke, brushing back some of the bangs that now dropped over the side of his face.

Everyone snapped their heads up to see Echi laughing, his head still lodged in the ceiling.

"He’s a freak," said Hiei. Next to her, Kurama nodded.

Echi pulled his head free and landed on his feet, he didn’t seem to mind the few scrapes and bruises Yuusuke had given him.

Yuusuke narrowed his eyes at the grinning demon. This wasn’t good, that attack should have damaged him more then that!

"You’re a tough one, but so am I," said Echi, blurring away to reappear at Yuusuke’s side. He kicked the boy right in the ribs, launching him up in a spinning roll in the air. Yuusuke just barely managed to catch the other kick the demon aimed at him in full spin. He landed on his stomach, hands down, fingers spread to lessen the impact.

"Little insect!" shouted Echi, lifting up his foot as if to stomp out Yuusuke’s life. The raven-haired teen rolled away and spun like a break-dancer on his back, swiping Echi off his feet. Yuusuke rolled on top of the downed demon and rained down blows on his face and chest.

The demon’s white-gloved hand snapped up, grabbing for Yuusuke who had barely enough time to jump out of Echi’s reach.

"Damn, he doesn’t seem to feel pain at all," cursed Yuusuke under his breath. "And I can’t stay near him too long or he’ll touch me, kuso!"

Echi laughed and got up.

"I’ll have to use a Rei Gun attack on him, but if I kill him…." He glanced at Hiei and Kurama. "What if they don’t change back?" he muttered under his breath, frowning. "Guess I’ll have to go straight," said Yuusuke with a big grin.

"Baka!" shouted both Hiei and Kurama, throwing pillows at him.

Echi clasped his hands together. He began to chant strange words under his breath.

Yuusuke and Kuwabara gasped in pain and sank to their knees clasping their hands over their ears.

"Yuusuke!" shouted Hiei.

"Kuwabara! Are you alright?!" shouted Kurama. "What’s happening to them?"

"Some kind of spell, it must not affect women," said Hiei.

"Crap, what are we going to do?"

"We’ve got to distract him or something," said Hiei.

Kurama got a thoughtful look on her face, then she smirked at Hiei. "Oh, Echi-chan!" shouted Kurama, moving behind Hiei. "LOOK!" she shouted, yanking open Hiei’s front.

"Hey!" protested the Koorime.

Echi stopped his chanting at once and stared at the two. "Oh, baby!" he shouted, running for the bed.

"No, you don’t!" shouted Yuusuke, jumping and catching his legs. Both went down in a tangle, wrestling on the ground. Echi got on top of Yuusuke and tried to grab him with his gloved hand. Yuusuke caught the hand, Echi’s fingers moved inches in front of his face.

"Kurama!" screamed Hiei, grabbing the fox by the front of her still open dress and shaking her. "Why the hell did you do that?!"

"He’s already seen my bust," said the fox innocently. "Oh no, we’ve lost his attention again. Okay, plan two!"

"Plan two?" said Hiei right before Kurama grabbed her and rolled on top of her. "What are you doing?! Stop it! We’re both girls!" screamed Hiei.

"So?" grinned Kurama, moving down to kiss the squirming Koorime.

Both Echi and Yuusuke looked up at the two from their place on the floor.

Kurama broke off the kiss, hands moving inside of Hiei’s kimono top.

"Iie! No, don’t," said Hiei, a soft blush painting over her features.

"You’re skin’s so soft, Hiei" said Kurama.

"Don’t touch me there!"

"More sensitive as a girl, ne? What about this?"

"Ah! Stop, please!"

Yuusuke and Echi stared up with wide eyes, drool starting to form on the corners of their mouths.

"This I’ve got to see," said Echi, moving off of Yuusuke. Yuusuke also sat up to watch.

"You don’t need these," said Kurama, yanking down the lacy black underwear Hiei wore.

"Iie!" said Hiei, as Kurama’s hand slowly began to travel up Hiei’s smooth white thigh and under the short skirt.

Yuusuke and Echi leaned forward.

"Perverts!" shouted Kuwabara, hitting both Yuusuke and Echi on the back of the head.

"Ouch!" said Yuusuke rubbing his head. "What’d you do that for?!"

"Here Kurama and Hiei are providing a distraction for you and all you’re doing is watching!" said Kuwabara, grabbing him by the front of the shirt and hosting him up.

"Can you blame me?" grinned Yuusuke.

There was a roar from Echi and a wave of ki sent both boys flying against the wall.

"I’ve had enough of playing with you two!" He turned to the two on the bed. "Don’t stop, I’ll be right there in a minute!" he waved at them.

On the bed, both Hiei and Kurama sweat dropped.

Echi turned back to Yuusuke and Kuwabara with narrowed eyes. He moved his gloved hand to draw a five-pointed star in the air. "Die," he said. A red star flew towards Yuusuke, but was blocked by Kuwabara as the carrot-top man jumped in front of him, taking the brute of the attack.

Both boys were picked up and slammed into the wall; they crashed through it, and the next one behind it, and the next, and the next. Finally they landed in a heap of rubble, biting their teeth together in pain.

"Kuwabara," groaned Yuusuke, managing to sit up. He looked over at his friend who was bleeding from several deep gashes on his arms and chest.

"Damn, and Yukina just healed me," gasped Kuwabara, blood rolling down the corner of his mouth as he tried to move.

"Kuwabara!" shouted Yuusuke, going over to his friend. "No, don’t move. You lay there, I’ll get him for you," he said down at his companion.

Yuusuke got up and glared at Echi with serious brown eyes.

"Oh? Did I make you mad?" laughed Echi. "Why don’t you come over here and teach me a lesson?" He threw back his head and laughed. His laugh was cut short as a fist appeared in front of him and slammed him hard in the face. Echi fell back and landed hard on his back, skidding a few feet on the floor. He rubbed his face and glared up at Yuusuke who still held that determined look in his eyes.

Echi smirked up at him. "To kill me you’ll have to touch me. And, if you can touch me, I can touch you. I’m going to turn you into a human girl, just like your fire demon friend, you’ll lose all your demon powers." Echi laughed madly on the ground.

Yuusuke narrowed his eyes even more his fist began to glow off to his side. With a roar he ran at Echi.

The demon flipped back up to his feet and ran at Yuusuke, reaching his hand out toward the boy as Yuusuke raised up his fist. Both men touched each other and light exploded around them too bright to look at.

"Yuusuke!" shouted Hiei and Kurama shielding their eyes.

The light faded and a body landed hard on the floor. Hiei and Kurama looked down at the mangled Echi.

"Impossible… you should have… lost all your powers…. when I touched you," gasped Echi.

Everyone looked up as the smoke cleared to reveal Yuusuke. Hiei and Kurama’s mouths dropped.

"Baka!" shouted Yuusuke down at the demon in a slightly higher pitched voice. "Unlike Hiei, I can use both reiki and youki because I have both demon and human blood in me!" He spat at the demon and kicked him in the side.

"Yu-Yuusuke?" said Kuwabara, sitting up and staring at his friend.

Yuusuke gulped and looked down at himself. The tight jeans were even tighter as they hugged the soft curves of Yuusuke’s powerful hips. One pants leg had been ripped off and the other had a large hole in the knee. Yuusuke’s white shirt was ripped in several places; one sleeve was gone, and the other hung on only by a few threads. What was left of the shirt barely managed to cover Yuusuke’s now bigger chest.

"Oh, my god!" said Yuusuke, running a hand through the loose bangs on one side of her face. She brought both hands up to touch her front. "They’re jumbos!"

Sure enough, Yuusuke was quite a well-endowed female. Yuusuke growled and began kicking Echi viciously in the side. "Turn me back! Turn me back!" she shouted.

Kuwabara shook his head, trying not to think dirty thoughts about his friend’s new build; Yuusuke really needed a bra. He got up with a lot of pain and walked over to Hiei and Kurama. Calling on his Rei Ken, he sliced through the chains around the two’s ankles.

Hiei and Kurama joined Yuusuke in kicking Echi, demanding that he change them back right away.

"I can’t!" cried Echi, trying to protect his head.

"What do you mean you can’t?!" shouted Yuusuke, grabbing Echi by the hair and lifting him up, no longer afraid of the glove.

"This glove doesn’t work on females!" cried the demon.

Yuusuke, Hiei, and Kurama all paled.

"I don’t want to be a girl!" shouted Yuusuke, shaking the demon like a rag doll.

"I can’t remain a girl, let alone a human!" screamed Hiei. "What if my enemies find out?! I won’t stand a chance!"

"What am I going to tell my mother?!" cried Kurama.

Echi’s eyes rolled back in his head and foam formed at his mouth as the three females continued to whine at him.

Kuwabara blinked his eyes and blushed at his friends. They didn’t seem to care that their clothes were open and some things a gentleman shouldn’t see on a lady were showing. "Ahem!" said Kuwabara getting their attention, although not looking at them. "You could ask Koenma if he can reverse the spell."

"Oh, yeah!" cheered Yuusuke. "Let’s go see him and give him this scum!" she said, still holding Echi by the hair.

"What about the other girls?" asked Kurama.

"That’s Koenma’s department as well," said Hiei.

"Alright, let’s go!" shouted Yuusuke, pointing his finger ahead.

"Fix your clothes first!" screamed Kuwabara.

* * * * * * * * *

In his office, the tall figure in shadows smiled at the viewing monitor as Yuusuke and his team left the pocket dimension. "Magami!" boomed the shadowy figure’s voice.

"Hai, Enma-sama!" said a ferry girl, walking into the room.

"Take a team to the pocket dimension that Echi created. Fix all the people that were turned into women by Echi, and erase their memories of the incident."

"Hai, what about Koenma’s tantei? Do you want me to send someone to undo the spell on them as well?"

"No." He tossed a black glove with red and white ruins stitched on it to her. "I don’t want those three to be changed back; if I find out you changed them, you’ll be punished."

The ferry girl nodded her head.

"Bring back the glove when you’re done with the humans."

"Hai," said the girl, summoning her oar and hopping on it. "I won’t let them know we were there," promised the girl before flying off.

Enma smiled and leaned back in his giant size office chair. Well, that fixed a large part of Koenma’s problem; now if only his son could get enough balls to ask them.

Enma pressed the intercom button on his desk. "Tell George to come to my office with Shinigami and the rest of the kids."

* * * * * * * * *

"Koenma!" was the only warning Koenma got before his office door went flying in. His eyes widened in shock as three girls and Kuwabara walked into the room dragging Echi by his hair. Kuwabara was cuddling a cute little purple haired neko demon he held. But, what really shocked Koenma was the girls! He knew those girls, but the last time he saw them he was pretty sure they were guys!

"What happened to you three!" shouted Koenma, getting up from his chair and staring in shock at the three. Damn, Kurama sure looked sexy in that dress; what a figure! And Hiei! How far did those legs go up?! Yuusuke: huba, huba! She was sure to win any wet T-shirt contest!

"Isn’t it obvious!" shouted Yuusuke, tossing Echi on the ground. "He put a spell on us; now turn us back!" demanded the raven-haired woman, crossing her arms. She shifted her arms a bit and uncrossed them to shove her hands in her pockets instead. Crossing your arms felt weird when your chest was blown out of portions.

Koenma hadn’t heard a word Yuusuke had said as he was having a hard time not ogling the three women in front of him. And here I thought I was gay; looks like I’m bi, thought Koenma, peeling off the three’s clothes with his eyes.

"Koenma!" shouted Yuusuke, leaning over his desk and grabbing Koenma by the front of his shirt. "Did you hear me!?" she screamed right in his ear.

"Ahh!" shouted Koenma, waving his arms. "I heard you! I heard you!"

Yuusuke released him to fall back against his chair.

Koenma straightened his clothes and tried to look at anything but the three; if he did, he knew he’d space out again. It was sure hard not to look though, after all, how often did he get to see Kurama and Hiei dressed in drag? Or were they just dressed-up really fine? He didn’t know any more; technically they were women now, but mentally they were male. Koenma was confused.

"Koenma, do you know of some way for us to revert back?" asked Kurama.

"No, I don’t. Maybe someone else in the Reikai does. I’ll have George look around. Oh wait- George is busy."

The four tantei blinked in confusion.

"George is always busy, that never stopped you from giving him more stuff to do before," said Yuusuke.

"Yeah, well he’s kind of got his hands really full now. I’ve got him running the new Reikai daycare center."

"Poor, George," said Kurama. "I should say a prayer for him or wish him good luck," said Kurama, clasping her hands together and bowing her head.

"Hn," agreed Hiei.

They were interrupted as a ferry girl flew into the room. "Koenma-sama, Enma-sama wants to see you and your tantei: Yuusuke, Hiei, and Kurama."

"What?" said Koenma in shock.

"Do you think he heard about what happened to us?" asked Kurama.

"A better question is if he’ll help," said Hiei.

"Hey, it’s better than no help. He’s the King of the Dead; he must know something," said Yuusuke.

Koenma paled as his mind turned over the information. First, Echi escaped with no signs of a break out. Second, parts of his file were missing. Third, Yuusuke, Hiei, and Kurama show up as women. And last, his father wants to see them. Koenma replayed his last meeting with his father when he had threatened to kill his three bishounen and any children they had. ‘I’ll give you some time to work it out, but I’ll not wait long,’ Koenma remembered his father’s words all to well. Was he going to execute his three tantei?! Was there more to this then Koenma had first thought? Had his father planned this whole disaster from the start?!

He eyed the three beauties again; maybe not so much a disaster… yet.

"This way please Koenma-sama," said the ferry girl, snapping Koenma out of his thought.

"H-hai," said Koenma.

"See you later, Kuwabara," said Yuusuke.

"Good luck," said Kuwabara, petting the neko demon. "I’m going to show Keith and Hotaru their new pet," he smiled happily and walked away with the purple neko demon.

The four followed the ferry girl to Koenma’s father’s office. Koenma was all nerves as he stared at the giant twin doors. They swung in and Koenma thought he would faint.

Everyone’s eyes widened at the scene before them.

The King of Death sat on the floor laughing; little kids climbing all over him. Poor George apparently hadn’t gone through his babysitting job unscathed: the oni was covered in wounds, ranging from bite marks to burns.

"Koenma!" called Enma. "Come in, bring your three girlfriends with you," said Enma in the most cheerful mood the Prince of Death had even seen his father in.

The four stood rooted in front of the door, not believing their eyes.

"This has got to be one of the weirdest days I’ve ever had," said Yuusuke, rubbing the bridge of her nose.

"I said come in!" shouted Enma, reaching out a massive hand and dragging the four inside. The giant doors closed behind them.

Tatsue stopped circling Enma’s head as he spotted a familiar face. With a squeal of "Whee!", the dragon boy slid down Enma’s arm and went flying into Hiei’s. Laughing, the boy cuddled Hiei’s chest, flapping his wings and wagging his short tail until he stopped and patted Hiei’s chest curiously, feeling the extra padding there. Laughing, Tatsue went back to cuddling Hiei’s chest, seemingly enjoying the extra curves.

"I wish I was that kid right now," whispered Koenma in envy.

"So these are the three? This must be the Koorime that had Shinigami and the rest," said Enma, leaning down to get a better look at Hiei.

Hiei’s head tilted back, and back, and back. "Big…" said the Koorime, looking straight up.

Enma laughed. "I like her, she’ll make a great wife," said Enma, picking the wide-eyed ex-demon up.

"Wife!" squeaked Hiei.

"Ahh, and the redhead," said Enma plucking up Kurama who was too shocked to evade the massive hand. "I heard you were pretty, but I never expected anything this beautiful. My son’s lucky. Welcome to the family," smiled Enma down at the confused redhead.

"And then Yuusuke; the first of my son’s tantei," said Enma, leaning over the raven-haired teen who took a step back from the massive god. "Dead twice; you belong in the family of Death," laughed Enma.

"Koenma!" shouted Yuusuke, turning around and grabbing the Prince of Death by the collar. "Is your father just loony or is there something you’re not telling us?!" demanded Yuusuke, shaking poor Koenma. Hiei and Kurama stared down at the Jr. God of Death from their perches in Enma’s hands.

"Um… well you see… I um….." said Koenma. "Will you marry me!" blurted out the Prince of Death.

Yuusuke was so shocked she let go of Koenma and backed away from him. "W-what?!"

Koenma straightened his clothes and got a serious look in his face. "I want the three of you to be my wives."

There was a long uncomfortable pause. "And if we say no?" said Yuusuke.

"Then you face my wrath," said Enma, causing Yuusuke to turn around and look at him. "You never realized that you’ve committed a serious crime by sleeping with the Prince of Death out of wed-lock did you? You can make up for it now by accepting his proposal and becoming his wife."

"I’m a man! How can I be someone’s wife?!" shouted Yuusuke, jabbing a finger at her chest. "Er-" she said looking down at herself.

Enma grinned. "Really?"

"You!" growled Yuusuke. "You did this didn’t you?! You let that perverted freak lose in the Ningenkai didn’t you?!"

Enma smiled even wider. "Very good, you’ve figured it out." Enma put down Hiei, Kurama, and the litter. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a tiny black glove in his massive hand.

"That looks like-!" said Kurama kneeling down next to Ryu and Flora.

"It’s the match to the glove that Echi wore, only this one only works on woman and not men. It’s the only thing that can reverse the spell caused by the other glove."

"So you’re blackmailing us," growled Yuusuke.

"In more ways than one; I could just kill you for your crimes," said Enma, narrowing his eyes at Yuusuke. "But my son appears to be quite fond of you, so I’m giving you a chance."

The raven-haired teen snorted and picked up Raiko and Sake. She turned and walked towards the door.

"Yuusuke, where are you going?" asked Koenma nervously. He knew the teen wouldn’t take this well, especially being forced.

Yuusuke raised up her foot and kicked the two massive doors open. "I don’t like being told what to do. I’m going to see if I need your stupid glove first before I give you an answer," said Yuusuke over her shoulder.

Enma smirked. "Very well, I’ll give you a week to decide. After that, your fate is in my hands."

"Third times a charm they say," said Yuusuke with a smirk. "Hiei! Kurama! Let’s get out of here," she called to them.

The three left Enma’s office with their five kids.

"The nerve of that guy," muttered Yuusuke. "Turning us into girls and trying to blackmail us into marrying his son."

"Yuusuke! Kurama! Hiei! Wait!" shouted Koenma, running down the hall. He stopped panting before them.

"What do you want?" said Yuusuke, not in a good mood.

"Yuusuke," said Koenma with slightly hurt eyes. "You know I didn’t plan this, but… I don’t want to lose you, any of you," he said, looking around at the three and the cubs they held. He got down on one knee. "Will you marry me? I’m saying this as the future God of Death on his knees."

The three looked at him with shock, exchanging looks between them. Yuusuke’s face softened a little.

"How about we tell you in a week after we’ve had some time alone to think about it," said Yuusuke. She walked over and grabbed Koenma by the shoulder hoisting him up to his feet. Koenma trembled as Yuusuke pressed her full form up against him.

"This is a big change for us, but you never know," said Kurama, moving to Koenma’s side. "We might like it," whispered the redhead in his ear. She licked his ear and blew on it. Koenma shivered violently.

Hiei walked over to Koenma and grabbed him by the shirt, yanking him down to her height. Without a word the Koorime licked the side of his face and released him. "Hn," she snorted, turning with Tatsue in her arms and walking away.

Yuusuke and Kurama did likewise.

Once they were gone, Koenma sank to the floor. "I have to wait a week… that’s too long!" cried the god, so turned on he could hardly stand it.

The three walked down the halls of the Reikai palace.

"So, what are you going to tell him in a week, Yuusuke?" asked Kurama.

"Hell if I know. I’m going to be spending the next week trying to find a cure in the Makai," said Yuusuke. "You don’t really think I’d let that guy threaten me and just do whatever he says do you?"

Kurama just smiled.

"I’ve got my pride," said Yuusuke, sticking her nose up in the air.

"I guess I can help you look for a cure as well. I can probably get Yomi to help me look in his territory."

Both turned to look at Hiei.

"What? You don’t expect me to go to Mukuro looking like this, do you?" glared the Koorime. "She’d die laughing."

"Come on, Hiei, you don’t want to be a girl forever do you? Or are you going to give up just like that? You know there’s no guaranteeing that he’ll change you back; or who knows what else you’ll have to do. I don’t know much about Reikai weddings, what about you?" asked Yuusuke.

Hiei frowned. "Fine, I’ll go see her," she muttered.

"Then I guess this means were dividing up until we either find a way to change back or agree to marry Koenma."

"Doesn’t mean I’m not going to marry him after I find a cure," said Yuusuke. "Doesn’t mean I am, either," she added.

Kurama smiled. "Typical Yuusuke, you can never make up your mind can you?"

The teen shrugged. "I guess I’ll just head straight to the Makai and my territory, I’ll decide when I have to."

"I need to call my mom and tell her I’ll be gone with the kids for awhile, so I’m going to the Ningenkai," said Kurama.

"I’m going the Makai, but I need a ride," said Hiei.

Both looked down at her.

"Did you forget that I have no youki?" she growled.

"Oh, yeah," laughed Yuusuke. "No wonder you don’t want to see Mukuro."

Hiei glared at her.

"Don’t worry I’ll drop you off. I wouldn’t want another insane pervert trying to ravish you again. That’s my job," said Yuusuke, nudging her in the ribs.

"Hn," snorted Hiei. "I guess this means we have a week to decide about Koenma’s proposal."

"Maybe it best that we’re not together, then," said Kurama. "I’d rather decide for myself whether I’ll do it or not."

Hiei and Yuusuke nodded their heads in agreement.
