~Northern part of Bone woods~

He was walking around the forbidden forest, without really realizing until it was too last.

It was in the middle of the night and he didn't sense anything around, not even when the blade hit his shoulder. The cool metal hit him before the pain, making him jump into the tree near by, which didn't help him much. His golden eyes looked around yet didn't see anyone but the feeling of eyes started to get to him.

He started jumping from tree as the blood started coming out of his deep cut that went from his shoulder to his lower back. His hissed lightly as the pain finally hit. He stopped at the end of the forest and reached behind to touch his lower back then looked at his hand. "Shit..." He muttered lightly as he eyed the blood on his hand.

He looked around to see what land he ended up in, only for his forms to change. His silver hair with red highlights slowly started to fade into red hair with silver highlights. His golden eyes started to go dark green as he coughed lightly. "Great..." He muttered softly as he faded into the darkness, falling of the tree.


~a few hours later~
~Northern castle~

She let out a soft yawn as she walked into the guest room. She then stopped at the doorway and blinked a bit. She gasped lightly when she saw the red head. She walked over to the male who was muttering a healing spell. She looked around the dark blue hair male then looked down at the red head. She reached out and lightly touched the mage's hand.

The mage stopped his spell and looked over at the princess. His silver eyes locked with worried deep maroon eyes. He then let out a soft sigh. "Princess Lyra, the fox will be fine. Sinta just needs to rest now." He said, softly with a light blush-line.

Lyra nodded lightly as she looked down at the sleeping male. "We should tell... sis about this, Kai." She said, softly as she moved her hand from the mage's hand and lightly touched the skin of Sinta's back near the slowly closing up cut.

"Should we send Yusuke to tell her?" Asked a voice of the doorway.

Lyra and Kai turned around and looked over at the male who spook. The princess sighed lightly when she saw that it was her wolf demon who found Sinta on his nightly walk. "Kaorun, don't do that..." She said softly before thinking a bit.

Kaorun nodded lightly as his blue eyes looked over at the mage. "So how is the fox of the south?" He asked softly as his ears twitched a bit.

Kai sighed lightly. "He will live, thanks to you finding him in time."

"Lets send Yusuke and Ryan to tell sis about her fox." Lyra said randomly, making the two males look at her weirdly. It was normal for her to send Ryan to get hurt by her sister but her random moments were just weird.

The wolf nodded lightly and walked out of the room with a small smirk, making Kai sigh lightly again and Lyra giggle.


~a day later~
~Southern castle~

The young princess glared daggers at the half-breed male. "What do you mean?" She asked, sounding really annoyed. She was starting to wonder about her fox a few hours before her cousin and his friend wanted into the room and told her what her sister asked them to tell her.

The half-breed male sighed lightly since he was used to it. "Mira, I meant what I said. Lyra is looking after Sinta who was attacked." He said, running his right hand through his green gulled* black hair.

"Yusuke, I got that, but I don't understand how Sin got attacked." Mira said, still glaring. She then looked over at the male standing near her left. "Heei, will you go check on him?" She asked, in a softer tune.

The male looked from Yusuke to his princess and sighed. "Only if he isn't there."

Yusuke thought a bit then sighed. "Cous, I doubt he will go, since Hiei is with Kurama and that red head is checking on his twin."

The princess sighed lightly as she leaned back against her chair. "Well, if Hiei's there and Heei won't go... I guess I'll ask Chrono later." She said, closing her maroon eyes.

Heei shook his hair and sighed again. "I can't help it that I hate my father." He said before walking out of the room.

Mira sighed as Yusuke just shook his head.


~Outeside of Southern castle~

A male with dark blue hair sighed as he wondered around the garden, thinking to himself. He was trying to understand why Lyra sent him to the southern lands. It wasn't like Mira hated him nor he hated her, they just don't see eye to eye. Other then that, the half dragon couldn't get a bad feeling to go away.

Red eyes watched the half dragon from a near by tree. "Ryan... is there anything.. wrong?"

Ryan jumped a bit and looked over at the tree. He then sighed lightly, seeing that it was the time demon. "Chrono, why are you watching me?" the half dragon asked.

Chrono sighed lightly, closing his eyes for a minute. "I was napping... you walking around woke me up... Not saying that your muttering.. didn't help."

"Sorry about that. I got a lot on my mind."

"I can tell."

Both males sighed at the same time, just as Heei walked out of the castle. The fire demon blinked a bit at the males then shook his head. "Chrono, our princess wants you to go see Lyra."

Chrono blinked a bit as he looked over at the fire demon. "To check on Sinta?"

Heei nodded then disappeared.
