He'd had to be stopped, regrettably—a loose cannon would have ruined all Kurama's careful plans. And in the past year, the Hiei he had come to know had never lost control so spectacularly as his whispered reputation in Makai claimed.

Hiei spat blood, scowling bitterly. "Tell me, Kurama, do you always go for their eyes?"
