An estimated half of one percent of Japan's population is Christian. An estimated seventy-three percent of the general public celebrate Christmas by eating a cake. An estimated zero percent of demons care. (Or: why Hiei is having a hard time adjusting to ningenkai, and how Kurama does--or doesn't--make it easier for him.)

Hiei scowled, obviously not content with the situation and probably feeling trapped, since the malfunctioning gate had vanished behind them, leaving them to find another way back to their own territory. The little youkai began scouting the area, no doubt seeking an exit. Kurama started to prowl as well, but he was more interested in discovering what this temple had to offer. He wouldn't be averse to taking a few souvenirs with him.
