Not much had changed in the Makai since he had become Yomi's general. Hiei had taken up the rank of general for Mukuro and Yusuke - of all beings - had become a King... ah, what a misgiven title in the fox's eyes. I'm a King myself. Much different than all other Kings, for my title wasn't self given. Instead it was a name that those who feared me bestowed upon me. It was only natural that I picked up the title with respect... and perhaps a bit of pride.
A small smirk made it's way across the Yoko's face when he thought about his title. Yusuke being the reminder of his title only reminded him that he needed to get back in the saddle, so to speak. He had long since graduated from high school in his human body, married his mother off... what else was there to do but pretend to go to college so that he could live his demon life yet again? Ah, how he'd missed it. Few changes had been made. While usually he would be putting together heists and making his title spread even further into the minds of the lower and upper classes, he found himself spreading a new title of General. It was amazing that nobody knew what the King of Thieves looked like unless they ran with him directly, and even then most of the 'Yoko-sama's he got were from fan girls, fans in general, or fans of his title of general. The fact that he was the King of Thieves could be... so well hidden. What a wonderful thing. Not out of shame do I hide my title. Instead, I find this an odd and arousing game. It keeps me on my toes. Who can I fool next? I've always been a fan of games; and my brother can testify of such things.
Currently the spirit fox demon found himself with his legs crossed, both elbows on the arm rests of a chair fashioned with roses, - of red, black, and white color - with his hand lazily resting in his chin out of boredom. He'd gotten to the meeting early. Upon one of the excavations to find human slave trafficking Mukuro and Yusuke had stumbled across what Mukuro called a 'door' of sorts. Natural curiosity lead both to open the door - though advised by Mukuro's General to leave it alone, nobody listens to the poor short soul though. When the door opened the other side saw this as a means to attack; Makai had never seen something so pure. Naturally Yusuke offered a truce, Mukuro simply went along with whatever was presented but wanted something out of the deal. Rare metals were the elves side of the peace treaty to show that they wouldn't attack the demons and the demons were told to give military support. On the elves side of the spectrum, a war was being waged with some sort of 'Fiends' as they called them. They were demons of sorts, but ugly and weak ones. Yomi wanted a cut of the deal, so his general was sent often to the elves as a strategist with armies to help in the attacks. Before long, they will know me as both titles as well. I've already seen many flaws in their security while here... but what complicated situation I've gotten myself into. As a strategist I'll be called upon to fix the holes once I, as a King, steal some of their precious artifacts. What shall I steal then? Knowing that if I steal from them again, I'll be waging war and blowing my cover...
As the fox contemplated such thoughts, he turned his eyes around the room to look out the window. The Elven realm was much like the human realm, though everything was much taller. He was as tall as the beings around them thankfully. The idea of his brother sticking out like a sore thumb made him chuckle, a smirk sliding across his features. Large trees, beautiful greens - which the fox had already taken seeds of to later manipulate into plants in a sparring match against his brother - many different healing herbs that he would love to mimic. Though their energy was a bit like the Miko's of legend, more pure than the humans yet still considered different. They called it 'magic' but Kurama knew good and well it was energy just like the demons and humans had. What a confusing bunch these elves were - but a beautiful bunch. He hadn't nailed one yet, but he would soon enough. He and Yusuke had a poll going on how long it would take him to get an elf in between his sheets. If he lost he'd have to cut his hair though... so he'd better get one in his bed sooner rather than later. He had a year left in their bet and his confidence was still as high as ever. Yusuke wouldn't get the pleasure of seeing a Yoko shamed with short hair. Not in this day and age. ooc.
I'm so sorry, I got REALLY carried away. Basically I thought we'd start off where they know of each other and have had a few encounters with him as her helping strategist... so whether she is the princess, captain of the guards, emissary, all of the above, etc - whoever, they would have to come in contact with each other rather frequently.

THE WILL OF
THE MOTHER IS DIVINE | Their world was so different from hers. They had no regard for life. No regard for nature. No regard for The Mother. It disgusted her. What was worse, was that they had no choice but to be at peace with the inferior race. Their resources were all tied up in their war against the Fiends. They couldn't afford to be in another war. In her own opinion, the door should just be closed and neither race should deal with the other. The Mother had not given her any divination for this though, so she had kept her opinions to herself. The Royal King was only interested in what The Mother had to say, as he should be.
As she walked through the Royal Halls, she had to wonder what The Mother thought of this new race. She had been given no divination in regards to them, even when she had asked. Curiosity often got the better of her, and she had found herself learning all she could of this new race. This race of demons. Their utter lack of morality and beauty is what had her curious. How could they live with themselves? She had met their leaders. While intelligent, they were brutes. Only one demon came to mind who didn't seem to be as burly and aggressive as the others. Yoko Kurama. He seemed to have a certain charm and finesse about him. She wouldn't call him beautiful, for only The Mother could decide who was beautiful, but he certainly wasn't like the rest of them. He cared about how others perceived him. It was interesting.
Speaking of the spirited fox creature, she knew he would be at today's meeting. She had just left the presence of the Royals, informing them of The Mother's recent divination. The Fiends were moving closer to their borders now, knowing that they had military support with the demons. After her report she informed the Royals that she would meet them in the Hall of Blessing, where they usually held their meetings with the demons. That was the door she was standing in front of now. She always made an effort to be the first elf to greet the demon(s) at the meeting, as it was a proper representation of who was truly important in their world, The Mother. She couldn't help but look forward to what she would learn as well, as the fox creature was full of knowledge.
Steeling herself for his unique personality that was sure to welcome her, she gracefully opened the door, silently walking inside. She was one with the world around her, blending in as if she wasn't there. She was constantly listening to The Mother and her messengers, therefore it was almost as if she was a ghost in this world, always connected with The Mother's. She instantly saw him, elegantly sitting in a chair of roses before the window. She closed the door behind her and slightly, only slightly for she was superior to this creature, bowed her head. "Aiya, General Kurama." She greeted him with an elven greeting, a hail of sorts reserved for respected and important beings. |

The sound of the door opening caught him off guard. He didn't jump, but his eyes snapped open. They moved to focus on the She-Elf who made her way into the room ever so elegantly. A small smile tucked it's way into his features, even he wasn't aware it was there. Moving one of the roses from around his head, he lifted the flower to his nose and inhaled. Raising his head from the creation he had plucked from his chair, he gave a bow of his head to her as a return greeting. " I'd say the same if I knew your tongue." He mused. " Amazing that demons have a section of their brain since birth allowing them to understand fully any language I've ever encountered, demon or human." " Yet here I am, at a loss. Seems as though your tongue needs more observation." He tilted his head to the side a bit, finding this small talk a wonderful excuse to keep his eyes glued on her for as long as possible.

THE WILL OF
THE MOTHER IS DIVINE | Mira had nodded her head at him, keeping full contact with his golden eyes. In her culture, it was not honorful to speak to someone without looking at them. Even still, she stored that little fact away, something else she knew not of demons. "Yes. Our tongue's conception comes directly from The Mother herself. I would not expect those who know not of her to understand it." |

A terrible thought crossed the fox' mind. He thought only of Yusuke's response to what she had said. "How do you talk plant?"
A laugh escaped him, if only through a chuckle though. He moved himself in his seat and shrugged his shoulders. " Yes, I suppose you're right..." his eyes narrowed at her. He had asked how they were born before and it was the same as with most demons. They were birthed through two beings having intercourse. Yet they seemed like such a mystery. To Kurama they could be said to be a type of demon who had long sense lost all scary features and made themselves their own world. " Mother hm?" He repeated the question that echoed in his head. " I'd like to meet her face to face once day." He half way teased the She-Efl. LAIKA OF GS! |

THE WILL OF
THE MOTHER IS DIVINE | She rarely treated the General with disrespect, but on some rare occasions he asked for it. Narrowing her eyes, she broke eye contact and stared straight ahead, as to not dishonor him as far as glaring at him. "Nothing could be more blasphemous, General." |

Kurama couldn't help himself, he let out a bellowing laugh. He had offended her, and should be sorry, but the fox found himself amused by her expression. She didn't turn to glare at him either, which was somehow... adorable? How disgusting. I haven't thought of anything as 'adorable' or 'cute' since Yusuke's inner soul had been revealed... and even then such feelings were only prompt by the idea of 'ticking' off the detective.
His demon instincts let his thoughts go wild, but his smirk stayed glued on his features. " I apologize, it was a simple joke. I meant no offense by it She-Elf." Addressing her by her name only came when he felt the need to display some charm. At the moment, that need wasn't felt. " So tell me," He began, changing the subject. " What do I owe the beckoning to your realm? I had heard it was for strategy, but could you have called me simply to gaze upon my features once more?" So, maybe he was feeling the need to flirt. Didn't he always feel the need to flirt though? LAIKA OF GS! |

THE WILL OF
THE MOTHER IS DIVINE | Not forgetting his previous blasphemous claim, but forgiving him for now, she turned her gaze upon him once more. Ignoring his flirtatious nature, she nodded formally at him. "As his Royal Majesty will inform you, a precious artifact has been stolen from us. A divination from The Mother revealed the act to have been committed by one of your kind. Since you claim to be one of the most clever of your race, you have been summoned here to be of some insight." |

How annoying, they had already figured out something was missing. It didn't come as a surprise to the fox though, but he had allowed himself a false hope that he hadn't gotten that rusty in his absence as King. Or perhaps he was underestimating this woman and her ability to talk to the nature around her. Regardless of details, he now had a mess to clean up. He was glad that none of the Kings had been contacted. If he was looking for himself, he could play a beautiful game with this She-Elf and perhaps even win the bet against Yusuke in the process. Huh. Two birds with one stone... simple enough; though I shouldn't allow myself room for cocky behavior. I've underestimated them once, doing it again won't result in anything but failure.
Mental reminders aside, Kurama nodded at the She-Elf. " An artifact? Of what value was it to your people? This will help narrow down the search; there are many a different kind of thief in the Makai and they all target something different from the other." A strange code among thieves, but one they uphold ... for the most part. The 'code' is more of a guideline really.LAIKA OF GS! |

THE WILL OF
THE MOTHER IS DIVINE | At the mentioning of how important the artifact was, her eyes glazed over. "The artifact is quite priceless, as his Royal Majesty will explain to you. It..." She paused for a moment, lost in memories, before she recovered herself. "It is very sacred to The Mother." |

He had guessed right. He was only explained most of the artifacts once by the King of her people, but it was enough to understand which one was most valuable and which ones could be left alone. " He must mean a great deal to you, this Royal Highness of yours. You address him with respect without him being present." Part of it made him want to gag, while the other half of him was astonished that a race could be so ... proper. Demons never held such high respect unless they were beaten within an inch of their life and forced to become obedient through means of a debt- mercy was rarely the case. Those thoughts aside, a taller man than the other two with purple hair and red eyes emerged from the doors. He left the door wide open, allowing the maids behind him to shut if if they pleased. This elegant creature was known to his people as his Royal Majesty. Kurama was astounded to hear that he was only newly made the King. He had far more experience in the field of royal than most his age would- perhaps even Yomi. But he dare not venture too far into flattery. " I'm glad you could make it on such short notice, the both of you. I know you're both very busy..." his speech ran short as he trailed off, listening in on a few things around him before having a seat at the table. Glancing up at Mira, he nodded and waved his hand toward the table. " Please Mira, have a seat." He mused, a delicate smile playing his features. Turning his attention toward the fox demon, the King began his spiel about the artifact stolen. " The artifact that was taken is known to our people as Collanta 'en Heren; it would be known in your tongue as the Mask of Fortune." He paused for a moment if only to take in the recent event of it going missing. " Dark arts from the Fiends were once the only magic of our area. The first item of magic the Mother blessed us with was Collanta 'en Heren. This mask is said to hold a Holy Power directly from the mother herself. It is key to our survival... with the help of your kind, I hope to hold the Fiend Lord off long enough to retract the artifact from whomever stole it and return it back to our people as a means of defense." Kurama listened as the 'elder' spoke. He arched a brow at the mention of the name. It looked like a mask, nothing fancy other than it's material which is why he had been interested in it in the first place. However, now that he knew it's value, he could only internally stroke his own ego. " From the sounds of it this artifact's history wasn't the target of the thief. Instead, it was more than likely the material; I say this because it seems to me that if it was bestowed upon you by your Mother, than it would have looked pleasing to the eye." He placed a hand on his chin in 'thought,' though truly it was to hide the smirk. He withdrew his own pleasures and his mouth formed a thin line. " However the history can't be ignored either. Perhaps if a Fiend had tipped him off..." The King's ears seemed to twitch at the sound of another being mentioned. " I assume you have an idea on who might've taken it?" Kurama nodded. " More than an idea, I'd say it's a good guess." He leaned back and gave a lower tone to his next words. " My guess is that you've had a run in with the King of Thieves. He's notorious in our lands as one who steals what looks most important from any and every new rising power. The thrill is the debt that he could be owed by whoever he steals from if he feels the need to return it. I would suggest a hunt for him, but not one as a means to end his life- you'll never catch him that way. If word gets out that you're willing to negotiate, a trap can be set and you can capture him. You'd be the first in thousands of years to do so mind you. This task will not be easy." LAIKA OF GS! |

ooc: just so you know, the link to such an elegant creature failed. XD THE WILL OF
THE MOTHER IS DIVINE | Mira had begun to correct the fox that his Royal Majesty deserved every honor as the chosen one of The Mother to lead her people, but her ears picked up the entrance of the very being who they had been speaking of. As his Majesty entered, Mira bowed, lower than she bowed to any mortal being, but not quite as low as she bowed to The Mother. Upon his request that she be seated, she did as she was asked. Taking a seat she listened with hidden sorrow of the artifact's history and importance to her people. The Mother was so distraught when she had received the divination of it missing. Oh, how Mira loathed this King of Thieves. This self-proclaimed king of misfortune. He had no idea what he had stolen, or the consequences of it missing from their realm.
Mira said nothing however, as it was not her place when in the presence of his Majesty. She spoke, only when spoken to. Her face was a mask of indifference, but her eyes spoke volumes of her determination to capture this demon and return the sacred Collanta 'en Heren. |

Kurama had lost himself in the idea of this game he could play. His eyes were focused somewhere between the table and the air in front of his nose. How fun it would be to have somebody looking for himself from this land. But when they would find out... that's when he would make his demands. These Elves needed to leave. This was the only way Kurama could see them doing so. The Mother said they should keep the door open for help against the Fiends, but Kurama didn't see where it was demon world's problem. Yomi had somehow convinced Mukuro to help because of the materials that would be gained and Yusuke was helping because of his 'heroic character,' or so he called it. The fox was torn from his thoughts when the King began speaking once again. " I understand that I would be asking a lot of you and your people with this... however," he stood and began a humble bow toward the fox. " Please, aid us in this quest to retrieve Collanta 'en Heren." Kurama blinked. He was being asked to hunt himself down? The fox arched a brow and then gave a small chuckle. " There is no need for begging." He began. " I'm familiar with the King of Thieves and his patterns, finding him shouldn't be too difficult..." he didn't sound sure of himself perhaps only to boost his own ego. " I will meet with the Kings and Generals upon my return to Makai. If they can spare me, I can go... I will send another strategist in my absence; though be warned, he will be reluctant and his temper is as short as his stature." Thought the King didn't understand the reference of height and temper, he gave a humble nod again as a thanks and took a seat. " Persuade them as you must with material items if need be. I understand they have their own world to worry about. I will ask the Mother who will go with you from our people, and upon your return you shall lead out on this quest. I can't thank you enough." He gave a smile. Kurama wondered for a small moment if he had made a mistake. However, the moment of this thought was small enough that he simply shoved it aside. A nod was given and he rose from his seat, the rose chair vanishing as quickly as it had appeared. " Then I shall take my leave. Majesty, Mira." He mused, his tone slightly different when referring to her name. With a tiny bow of his head - more like a nod - he exited the chamber to make way for Makai. LAIKA OF GS! |

THE WILL OF
THE MOTHER IS DIVINE | As soon as the king had stood, Mira had followed suit. As soon as his Majesty had bowed, Mira found herself reluctantly doing the same. She personally thought it beneath the king to bow to such a creature, but did not voice her opinions. She nodded to the fox as he addressed her, ignoring the way he said her name. It would be improper for her to respond to such a flirtatious tone of voice.
When the door shut, she turned to his Majesty with a slight bow. "Your Majesty. Would you like me to request an answer from The Mother?" |

" Yes..." he sighed. " As quickly as possible." Kurama on the other hand was already half way to Makai by the time they had began their conversation. He gave a small yet very profound smirk and allowed his thoughts to clear. He didn't want to spoil the surprise. Are you busy? He asked, knowing first to ask just in case his Brother decided against listening to whatever ramble the fox started. You'll want to hear this.LAIKA OF GS! |
