KRRR: So here is the sequel to Kurama's Little Kitsune!!!! Yeah!!!! I get ten points!!! Anyway. This is merely the prologue but hopefully, in the next few weeks as school winds

down I'llbe able to update sooner. Until then…you guys are out of luck. Haha.

-With Hiei-

~Why won't that onna get out of my head?!~ Hiei thought angrily as he slashed through a tree. It had been two years since he left Ningenkai. Since he had left Kari. In the two years

since Hiei had been in the Makai, he hadn't thought about Kari, hadn't dreamt about her. Until a week ago.

-Hiei's Dream-

Kari was walking down the street, smiling at Kurama who was staring anxiously at his daughter. It seems that she had a new boyfriend and she seemed happy enough, but Kurama and Hiei

could sense that she was frightened and edgy.

The scene shifted and Kari was being slammed against a wall, tears streaming down her pale, lovely face, that was contorted in pain. The beast standing in front of her slapped her across the

face. He pulled at her beautiful red hair and laughed as she cried out in pain.

What did I do to deserve this? Is it not enough for me to lose Hiei? Whatever it was, I'm sorry. Just make this pain stop! Have him kill for all I care, just make it stop!

Hiei growled in anger.

Where the hell is that idiot fox?! He's supposed to be protecting her!

Kari's sweet voice cried out in pain again as the brute punched her the stomach.

"Kari. I am so sorry!"

That voice! It's….

"It's all right, Kane. I forgive you" Kari whispered, cradling his head as his face buried into her shoulder.

-End Dream-

Hiei would often awake after that and wonder if Kurama knew.

Of course he doesn't know. Hiei thought, slashing through yet another tree. He was so wrapped in his worried thoughts about Kari that he failed to notice Mukuro until she tackled him

to the ground and pinned him. She knew that he needed to see Kari, needed to be with Kari, but that he was too stubborn to admit that he was wrong when he left her.

"You need to go to her, Hiei. For both of your sakes." Mukuro said, as if she could read Hiei's thoughts.

-With Kari in Ningenkai-

Kari sat on the couch in her father's apartment as she waited for him to return with the first aid kit. Kane had been especially drunk and much more violent. Knowing that she would not

be able to hide the bruises, she ran to her father and told him the truth. Kurama nearly ran off to kill Kane, but decided that his daughter's injuries were of higher priority. So instead, he

called the authorities on his cell phone, stating that he was out for a walk and had heard a disturbance. When Kurama returned to the living room, he began to quietly clean any cuts

that she had.

"How long?" he whispered.

"W…what?"

"How long has Kane been hurting you?"

"Six months" she whispered, turning her head away from her father's face.

"Why would he do something like this?!"

"Because I still love Hiei. It doesn't help that it's football season and he's stressed. He didn't mean to, father"

"Hn. I'd love to see what you would look like if he did mean it"

"Hiei?" Kari said hesitantly, not daring to believe that he was really there.

"did you knw that he was abusing her? Get out, Hiei. You did enough damage two years ago" Kurama said evenly, his green eyes flashing gold for a moment. Ignoring Kurama, Hiei

walked over to Kari had captured her lips in his in a kiss, their first. Hiei had grown in the two years since he had left for the Makai and now stood at 5'7" and had to bend in order to

reach Kari's lips.

"I'm sorry that I left" he whispered huskily.

"Why did you do it, Hiei?" Kari whimpered, her green eyes looking up into his red ones.

"Yes, Hiei. Why did you leave my daughter? You just left in the middle of the night without warning"

To say that Kurama was angry would be an understatement. He was pissed and Hiei understood why. Hiei sat Kari down on the couch before taking a seat in front of her. A knock on the

door interrupted him before he began to explain himself, and Kurama went to answer the door.

"Oh! Hey, Suichii! Is Kari here?"

"I'm afraid not, Kane. Is something wrong?"

"We got into an...argument. she left the house and didn't pick up her phone. I was worried about her."

"I'm terribly sorry. I hope that the argument wasn't something too serious."

"I...hit a nerve when I noticed that she was still drawing Hiei. I told er that he wasn't coming back and she got angry. It's been two years since he left, so chances are that he won't be back."

"I beg to differ, Kane. He's sitting in my living room right now" Kurama naswered coldly.

~Hiei. Trust me in this. You and Kari need to stay where you are~

-All right, fox. But if anything happens and Kari gets hurt...-

"Really?" Kane said. Kurama noted the change in Kane's voice. He knew why too. If Hiei were back then Kari would leave him and he would no loner have a punching bag.

"Yes. Why don't you join us and perhaps the three of us can decide where to start looking for Kari."

"Sure"

The look on Kane's face changed form one of shock to one of anger as he looked from Hiei, who stood protectively beside Kari, to Kari, who sat silently on the couch.

"She must have come in threough the back. Hello, Kari" Kurama said, signaling for her to play along.

"Hello, Suichii" she whispered, looking down at the floor.

"Kari? Are you okay? Who did this to you?" Kane asked.

"You can stop the charade, Kane. Suichii and I both know that you did it." Hiei said.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Hiei"

"Yes. You do, Kane. It's over between us. I can no longer be in this kind of relationship anymore." Kari whispered.

"Please leave, Kane. You are no longer welcome in our home" Kurama said, leaving no room for argument. Understanding that he was beaten, Kane stormed out of the house and out of

their lives. Hiei turned his head and saw that Kari was crying. Embrassing her in her arms, he made an oath.

"Never again will you cry for a fool"
