Aya looked at Yukina and nodded. "I'll be fine..." She stood up. "Please excuse me, I need to go into town, I shall return within the hour." She bowed to Yukina, then Kurama, then was gone.

Before yukina could protest aya had vanished from inside the temple. Her crimson eyes traveled to where Kurama sat and saw that hiei was now beside him. "Hiei-san" she nearly gasped, "i am glad to see that you have woken up. i prepared some tea for you just in case you joined us." she told him, placing a cup in front of him on the table. "i hope it is to your satisfaction.
upon hearing the familiar voice that had belonged to his firey companion, the kitsune glanced ocer as Hiei recited his inquiry. "i am not sure where it is Yuusuke went, but he left here and insisted i keep an eye on his sister." with that said he noticed that she had decided to leave the premasis of Genkai's temple. "Perhaps it'd be wise if you and i followed her. it's likely that you will find Yuusuke if we follow her." he suggested, placing the tea cup on the table.

A figure in regular clothes - jeans, a t-shirt, and sneakers, was walking through town. Her ears and tail were concealed with fox magic, which was done well enough that even a fellow kitsune would have to look hard to see them. Her black hair was tied back into a ponytail.
"Gah...I hope I can follow his energy signal up to the temple..." She muttered, tripping over her clumsy shoes. "Stupid Ningenkai..."
Sakuya was not pleased with where her employer had sent her now. She had told her employer of her life's mission, and he allowed her to come. Getting here wasn't too hard - outside of battle, she has a weak aura, so slipping through the barrier was a simple task.
"Ku ku ku...foolish fo-ACK!" Sakuya tripped, and landed on a girl. "M-my apologies!"
Sakuya scampered up and back a bit. This girl looked like the one that Urameshi was seen with at one point.
Keiko Yukimura looked up.
"...It's okay. No harm done." She said. "You mumbled something about a temple...are you looking for Genkai?"
Sakuya thought for a moment, and nodded.
"Yeah." She replied. "I got lost...can you help me?"
Sakuya was grateful for her weak aura. It didn't make humans feel as threatened, so she could get close to them.
"Sure." Keiko replied. "I'm looking for someone, and he's probably there..."
Sakuya and Keiko walked towards Genkai's temple.
'Watch out, Kurama...here I come!' She thought, a smirk crossing her face.
After walking a bit, they arrived at the temple.

(Okies, i am going to make my entrance before i fall any further behind.)
Soft lavender orbs directed themselves up toward the full moon that had now eluminated the twilight sky. Why she had returned to the ningenkai was beyond her, but a feeling inside of her that could not easily be subsided had driven to secretly lurk among the humans. Small children clutching onto their parents hands giggled, whined, or complained as the families passed her by on the streets making their ways to their homes for the night. as she pressed on toward no specific location an odd energy flooded the air. She couldn't detect from who or what it was eminating from, but she knew it was near by. in fact in the general area of the city there were several youki traces taunting her senses, but there were only a few that really stood out to her. i wonder why i can sense so many demon energies. is it common for demons to dwell amongst the ningen? she asked herself, but merely in her thoughts. Continuing forward she realized that she hadn't herself blocked her own enrgy, and decided that it was alright since she was in such a populated part of the city. no demon with intelligence would have tried attacking her where they could have easily been seen by people.

Keiko felt something not quite right about the girl she was helping, but she said nothing.
"So, what is your name? I don't think I quite caught it..." She said.
Sakuya paused briefly.
"Sakuya." She replied.
"I'm Keiko." Keiko replied. "It's...nice to meet you."
"Mm." Sakuya agreed, not really paying attention. Her mind was focused on the fight she wanted to have with Kurama.
"Hey, is anybody here?" Keiko called out, walking into the temple. "eh...I guess they're not in here...They must be elsewhere on the premises..."
Keiko shook her head. "More importantly, I wonder who that girl was that was leaving as we came in...she reminded me of Yuusuke..."
Sakuya was looking around, inspecting everything mentally.

Hiei looked at Kurama. "Why do i want to follow her?" He thought about ti for a moment that does make sence. "Fine" He said quickly. "Night Yukina."

Keiko got to the top of the stairs, and led Sakuya inside.
"...Hey, everyone." She said, walking to where everyone was. Sakuya followed her closely, not expecting to find herself so...nervous.
'Keep it cool, Sakuya...you can do this...' She thought.

Kurama climbed to his feet and bowed respectfully to yukina, "thank you Yukina-chan, the tea was perfect as always." he said politely. Yukina nodded to him and bowed back to her guests, "Please take care of yourselves out there." she spoke softly in a converned tone. As the kitsune neared the door it had opened and in is entrance stood Keiko and another female he had never seen before. From the very get go he could tell that she wasn't a human and was causious as he continued to approache them. "keiko-chan, it's good to see you again." he greeted her with a smile. "Yuusuke was actually just here a few moments ago, but he left without any explanation." his emerald gaze then looked beyond Keiko, studying the strange woman, but he did not allow any words to pass between them. Though it was difficult to explain he felt uneasy in her presence. "Well... i apologize for having to pardon ourselves, but Hiei and i were just about to leave." With that said he glanced back over in Hiei's direction waiting for the honoo youkai to join him.
(i wasn't out of line by saying Kurama felt a slight uneasiness in Sakuya's presence was i?)

Hiei got up and walked just passed Kurama. No words slipped though his teeth even to Keiko who he did know. Hiei had alot to say to Kurama and knew this walk was going to be talkative and that wasn't his thing. He looked at the girl. Glared and went on his way. He didn't know but something didn't feel right.
((Wah i didn't know what really to say))

Keiko nodded as Kurama and Hiei left. She looked for Sakuya, and noticed that she had seemingly disappeared.
"...Sakuya?" She called, but she didn't see her. "...This isn't good..."
Sakuya was quietly examining the premises of Genkai's temple, putting the layout to memory.

(Sorry to make you wait... I was... dealing with other things off of the net... I'll try not to keep you waiting for two days like that again.)
Though he wasn't comfortable with the idea of leaving the two girls alone in the temple with that strange woman, Kurama departed from the shrine, keeping a steady pace with Hiei. "What's on your mind?' he inquired through the shrouded darkness that had enveloped the two of them.While with every step they took growing further and further away from the temple his mind still remained focused on his previous location. Something bothered him, but he couldn't figure out what it had been about the woman. Again he tried pushing it out of his mind, paying more attention to the jaganshi at his side.
Yukina pushed her chair in and walked over to Keiko who had been standing in the entrance for some time. "Keiko-san, is everyhing alright?" she asked, gazing at the human girl.
(sorry... i know i suddenly seem to be apologizing... but my mind is not all here right now.)

Keiko looked at Yukina.
"Did you...notice anything...well...supernatural about that girl that came in here with me?" She asked. "I can't exactly say, but something about her is...off."
Keiko looked deep in thought.
"Wait...her eye color...What color were her eyes?" Keiko asked slowly, in the time-honored fashion of one who's coming to a conclusion.

Hiei walked quickly at his side. "Hn" was his ancwer. He kept quiet as if thinking hard on something. But suddenly though the silance he said " Juhyouken Yomitory. Thats whats on my mind." He didn't go on and didn't seem to be going to. He knew Kurama was going to ask questions. "Yukina as well i didn't like the way that girl....something didn't feel right."

Remaining silent for a few moments the koorime thought about Keiko's question. "Come to think of it... though i wasn't paying much attention... there was a slight aura surrounding her, but it was rather weak." she answered thoughtfully. She tried then to recall the color of the girl's eyes, however to be honest she hadn't really gotten a good look at them. "I'm sorry keiko-san, i don't remember seeing them very well." The wheels in her mind continued spinning as she attempted to think hard about this new acquaintance.
As they continued to walk in sync with one another the lights from the city began to show through the foliage. "We're almost there..." he managed to say while he ran through his thoughts. This name Hiei had mentioned, kurama didn't know it, but then again it vaguely rang a bell, but not enough for him to strain himself. "Who is this person you speak of?" the kitsune inquired, "And that woman at genkai's temple... who was she.. i too get an offset sense of danger when i looked at her." Finally after some time they were now walking down a rather empt road, but none the less they were finally in the town. He kept his senses aware of any familiar ki belonging to Yuusuke or aya so that both he and Hiei could reach their goals.
