How could Kurama stand this kind of life? It was boring. Go in, save a few worthless demons, come back in and hide. He wasn't quite sure how he got any sort of rush out of it. It was all so... routine. What he had figured out in the month he was here, is that his brother hadn't changed that much at all. Even if Kurama was lacking memories of who he was to him, his brother still read him like an open book. The other three however... they had yet to trust him. He was fine by that, as he found them all idiots anyway.
When the demon had screamed, he hadn't even budged from his position in the windowsill. If he wasn't in Kurama's room with him, it was usually where he stayed. That is, if he were in the building at all. He usually wasn't, not being able to stand Haku for very long at all. Right now he found himself inside because Kurama was wanting to leave again soon, and had asked him to stay close.
When Haku had come out and addressed Kurama, Hiei had immediately felt his glare. Raising an eyebrow at him, he simply stared back. He paid no attention to his brother leaving the room, but turned his attention back to outside the window, ignoring Haku. What did eventually catch his attention though, was the atmosphere changing. He turned his head when Kurama came back out of the room, narrowing his eyes at his brother's face. Something wasn't right. When Kurama demanded him to come, like some sick puppy dog, he almost told him where he could go and screw himself. He never had a chance though, as Kurama went back into the room, leaving little chance for discussion. Hiei glared at the door as he stood and walked towards it, opening it and glaring at him.

The demand was made in such a way purposefully. Even if he himself wasn't fully aware of the purpose, nothing he ever did lacked a purpose. His eyes shifted from the demon the bed toward Hiei. The demon however was staring at Hiei as if he'd seen a ghost. His eyes were wide, he seemed squirrelish, and his body gave a shake or two randomly. "Th-That's him!" He exclaimed in a whisper. "You're positive this is the bounty hunter which turned you into the humans a few months back?" It would have been before Hiei was with Kurama, but it made him no less disappointed in his 'brother's actions. "Y-yes sir. Those blood red eyes... his superiority complex, I'd know it anywhere." He scowled, but only because of his 'protection' he thought he had from Hiei through Kurama.
Watching the demon caused Kurama slight grief. Demons shouldn't be this hateful toward other demons. Though Kurama understood what it was like to feel betrayal, and it must have been what this demon felt. His gaze shifted a bit, his body and eyes not reading a single emotion as he leaned back in the chair crossing his legs and folding his fingers together in his lap. "Explain yourself."

Hiei was angry, if anything because Kurama was still treating him like a tag-along dog. When he focused enough to realize there was another demon in the room, it was when the cretin had spoken. Hiei turned his gaze to him, taking satisfaction in the fact that the demon visibly shook when he did, and raised an eyebrow. He was silent throughout the accusation, mentally wondering why this scum was still alive. Didn't he turn him in? Oh, that must be what had 'ticked' off his brother.
Walking fully inside the room, he shut the door behind him, crossing his arms and leaning against the door. His eyebrow rose once more. "Superiority complex? Really?" MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS & THQ you don't think i'm pretty? go have your eyes adjusted and get back to me.
Tara hated this new world. So full of humans who were obviously blind. They all thought she was ugly! Fox ears, fox tail... demon attributes. She found them sexy, as did most demons, but humans were repelled by it. She really didn't care, but it was their constant outspoken words that irritated her. She just wanted to squeeze them until they burst. Quite literally. A few times she had hired other demons to do just that for her. She never got in trouble, and it always relieved some stress. That was... until today. She may have taken it a bit too far. And by a bit... it was really a lot.
It's not like it was my fault. The brute was fat and ugly, and he dared to call me an ugly whore. As if he had room to talk. He wouldn't know pretty if it sat on his lap... what little of a lap he had. I still can't believe he called me ugly.
She currently found herself running from the officials. Due to said human, who turned out to be some sort of government leader or something- go figure, she would probably never be able to show her face in public again. She had asked a favor from another demon, but he screwed up the job and then blamed it on her. Unfortunately for her, she was registered and they knew right where to find her. So now she was running.
She leaned up against the wall of a building, which one she wasn't quite sure, and tried catching her breath. Ugh... running is for ugly people. Opening her eyes she looked around, trying to place where she had ended up. She wasn't quite sure, but her fox ears twitched, sounds of humans running reaching them. She went to take off again, but winced and let out a small cry as her ankle rolled and she hit the ground. "Oh crap... now what!?" Looking around frantically, she closed her eyes and listened. She could hear demons near by... but where? Focusing a bit more, she happily realized that they were close. Forcing herself to stand, and letting a few curses slip as she did so, she limped to a building a few down from the one she had been resting against. Glancing in the direction she knew the humans would be coming from, she banged on the door. "HEY! Lemme in! I'm not human... and I'm pretty!" MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS & THQ

Kurama narrowed his eyes at the floor. He didn't glare over at his brother, but he didn't appreciate the attitude that he was being fed either. Perhaps the only thing about this 'brother' of his thus far that he disliked, that 'I don't give a f-' attitude. "That explains nothing." His tone was dry, void of sarcasm or any sort of emotion other than slight anger at his demand being ignored.
Sato blinked. Had somebody knocked on the door? He glanced up from the computer and looked around. Haku nor Rei moved. "...Anybody going to get that?" Haku waved his hand. "Sounds like a cheap hooker to me." Rei rolled his eyes. "Haku you are a cheap hooker." Haku glared back at Rei, though Sato sighed and got up from his chair. He had realized far before this that he was the only one of the four who actually cared about other people. Kurama liked the thrill. Haku liked seeing blood. And Rei just wanted to kill things. He made his way over and opened the door, blinking at the beautiful creature on the other side. "Uh... hi." The nerd was struggling with the beauty on the other side of the door. Rei glanced over and arched a brow, a small smile appearing as a smirk on his features. "If she's a hooker Haku, she sure isn't cheap with those looks." Haku glared over at Rei before looking toward the door. A grin appeared. "Let her in ningen!" Sato just glared over at Haku and removed the second door for her. "Are you in trouble?" "More importantly," came Rei. "Did it follow you?" Haku leaned over the edge of the couch with that devious grin of his he usually gave Kurama. "Most importantly, how much?"

She had been so thankful that the door had been opened, only to deadpan at the cute little human who had done so. "Uhh..."

Instead of heaving a sigh, Kurama simply shook his head. "A bounty hunter? Don't you think that would have been need to know information from the get go?" He complained, his tone disappointed and irritated - anger was far beyond him now.
A careful glance between them all and Sato just sighed. "That ankle doesn't look comfortable." Almost as if called by a higher purpose, Haku jumped over the back of the couch and made his way over toward the chair nearest to the fox demon. "And we can't have such rare items like you hurt and limping. Take a seat, and I'll take a look." As always, Rei stared at the weapon he was prepping and rolled his eyes.

Hiei shrugged once more. "Honestly? I assumed you knew. I'm nothing like him." He halfheartedly shrugged his shoulder towards the demon they had rescued.

Tara broke out into a grin, instantly moving towards Haku. Finally! Someone who truly appreciated how gorgeous she was! She sat down across from him, lifting her hurt foot up into his lap.

"Honestly." He moved a hand to the bridge of his nose and began moving it slowly. Bounty Hunter was just another way for a demon to try and be a demon in the world around them. Kurama knew he had always been better at this whole 'adapting' thing, but he hadn't realized just how uncivil his 'brother' was until this very moment. "Regardless of the reason for a demon being taken in as a bounty, the others will be very weary of you now. Knowing you as I do, I'm aware that you'll have had better standards than most of the bounty hunters we have encountered along our years." He narrowed his eyes and sighed. "However, the fact that you didn't bring it to light means you were either hiding it, or didn't deem it worthy of being uncovered. I understand the latter but I'll have to explain to the others that it is so." He glared over at the demon. "Remember this well," leaning toward the demon, Kurama gave a death stare of sorts. His eyes seemed to scream he would rip the demon apart. Suddenly the demon wasn't afraid of Hiei any longer. "If you return to the old habits you've informed me of, I will gladly let this ex-bounty hunter seek you out and kill you simply for pleasure's sake."
Haku blinked as the ankle was set in his lap the second he set down. He was no fool, he knew good and well he wasn't going to get laid if he looked at the ankle and began his magic finger work to work the sprain out. He began doing just that, massaging the woman's ankle. Sato just stared at Haku, arching a brow at the two of them before looking back toward the woman's face. "They can search all they want in this building. We have plenty of cloaking devices set up. They won't suspect a thing." Haku nodded. "To them, inside this building, anything demon simply looks human. It's a pity they won't get to see these pretty ears and tail from where they stand."

Hiei shrugged again, moving from his position of leaning against the door, to beside it. "I hardly see how not mentioning this 'ticked' you off so much you called me in here like a pup." Glancing to the closed door, then to the window, he turned back to his brother with a raised eyebrow. "Besides. There are human officials outside the building. I hardly think we have the time to be fooling around with this cretin." MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS & THQ you don't think i'm pretty? go have your eyes adjusted and get back to me.

Kurama arched a brow at the mention of the officials. He hadn't noticed them. He would have eventually... what had set him off so much about all of this? Perhaps the fact that he'd been lied to in a sense. Not giving the full truth - or hiding something - is considered a lie in his book. "Yes, I suppose we'll have to bicker later about your inability to share." He began to complain. His body rose from the chair before making his way over toward the door. The ex-fox arched a brow at the ever present fox in the room. He tilted his head to the side. She... looked familiar. And she was a beauty. He hadn't missed that. The sight of Haku rubbing her ankle with that grin on his face said it all. Kurama rolled his eyes. "What trouble have you gotten me into?" He began. Glancing up and over, Haku arched a brow. "I've gotten you into nothing. Sato let her in." He shrugged. The human however clammed up. He straightened and pointed at Haku. "He told me to!" Haku frowned. "Shame on you Sato, she was injured. We all took her in." Rei pipped up. "Don't drag me into your mess." Kurama was beginning to gain a headache. He reached a hand to the bridge of his nose and sighed. "While I'm not against the action, I'm against what she's brought with her to the hide out." He heaved an irritated sigh and glanced at the woman. His brow went up again. "And your name?" She at least owed him that.

Hiei simply rolled his eyes mumbling something along the lines of "You should've noticed." before following him into the main room, where he lifted an eyebrow as he came to a stop beside Kurama. Another fox? Great... MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS & THQ you don't think i'm pretty? go have your eyes adjusted and get back to me.
Tara grinned as the handsome man had come into the room. Judging by his aura, he was their leader. The demon next to him must have been second in command or something. They seemed pretty equal in their standing. While the black haired beauty addressed the others, Tara took a moment to focus on the souls of the two. What she saw had her confused. They were polar opposites, but very similar. They had soul connections to one another, something she hadn't seen outside of the Forest of Spirits. And the alpha's.... his soul did not match his body. How interesting. When he addressed her, she sent him a beautiful smile. "Why hello there handsome. My name's Tara." MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS & THQ

The awkward silence that fell in the room was show enough that she had made the previously king of the bed inner Yoko ... nervous. He arched a brow, usually the one being hitting on the girl instead of the other way around. It caused a slight smirk to appear, but he hid it with a chuckle before sighing. "Tara hm?" The name seemed familiar too. Perhaps he'd gain those memories when he woke in the morn. For the time being he glanced around and shrugged his shoulders, listening to the men outside. "They won't enter in. The house is under their protection. I doubt they'd question my alliance." He turned with a sigh and put a hand on his hip. "What've you done to gain their attention?"

While a chuckle or a laugh escaped the other three, Kurama just glared at her. "Naturally." With his signature word, coined so the three told him from time to time, he shrugged his shoulders a bit and leaned on his hip. "I suppose we can house you, but only until the coast is clear. After that, I'll have to ask you to take your leave."
The three gave a sigh. Haku's being the loudest and longest. He hated when Kurama decided that they didn't need any fine booty near them because it would create distractions from their work. He could care less about saving demons unless they were pretty. Sato seemed relieved, and as always, Rei seemed as if he could have cared less. But that didn't stop those two from sighing right along with Haku. A pretty face every once in a while was appreciated... and Hiei's didn't cut it.

She nodded, rotating her foot a little and then smiling. Finding that it didn't hurt at all, she stood up. With her hands behind her back, she smiled over at Kurama. "Sure thing.
