Bitter Memories

Chapter nine : Little bit ~o~ fluff

The sound of the scream had alerted them. The group of spirit detectives followed it and Kurama's nose to a particularly dark warehouse. Chills raced the length of their spines, causing them to flinch. Squaring his shoulders, Yusuke lead the way into the foreboding building. No sooner had they entered than an eerie pink glow caught their attention. It flickered and waned in the over powering darkness of the building. Drawing closer, the group was shocked to see the youkai, Kagome, cradling Hiei's head on her lap and glowing. Her eyes were shut tightly in concentration. Her hands were placed over a large wound on his stomach. Botan raced forward, followed closely by the others.

"What happened to him?!?" Botan flew to a stop next to Kagome's still figure. Dropping to her knees, Botan inspected the bloody mess that was Hiei's stomach. Ignoring Botan, Kagome increased her efforts. The soft pink glow grew in strength until, it not only incased Kagome's interlaced fingers, but Hiei's body as well. Shocked, the group remained silent, observing the rapidly healing Hiei. They watched stunned, as his muscles rebuilt themselves, his blood withdrew into his body, and the skin grew rapidly over the fixed muscles. Wavering, Kagome suddenly lurched backwards, her head hitting the ground with a loud and echoing thump. Botan gasped and quickly lifted Hiei from Kagome's lap, before checking on Kagome. The nasty gash they had seen earlier was still there, but now other wounds were added to it. Blood seeped from the corner of Kagome's lips; small scratches and bruises were evident on the girl's pale skin. Her rapid healing of Hiei drained her own abilities to heal, keeping her demon blood from closing the scratches and stopping the bruises.

Kurama, after checking on Hiei, looked to Botan for what to do. It was clear to the group that they needed to get Kagome somewhere they could rest, but doubted that Koenma's office was the best place to do it. Botan, nibbling on her bottom lip, tore a piece of her shirt off and dabbed at the blood on Kagome's face. In the dark warehouse the only sounds were that of Kagome and Hiei's peaceful breathing. With the light coming in to the windows Kuwabara and Yusuke surveyed the area. Both noticed the tell tale signs of fighting, from the hole in the second story, to the demolished table, it was obvious there had been a wicked fight. A large black lump, laid half in- half out of the shadows. Going closer, Yusuke was surprised to find ashes. The alligator youkai Kagome had fought was reduced to a pile of ash, nothing left of him save a few pearly white teeth.

"Wow! There was one hellava fight in here! I wonder what we missed!" Yusuke said, his voice low and oddly awed. Botan seemed to snap out of her thoughts as she looked up to find Yusuke a crossed the room. Sighing, she stood up, and brushed the dirt and grime of the floor off her butt.

"Kurama, do you think that we can take them to your house? Hiei will be up in no time at all, thanks to Kagome. But she needs some time to heal, and we all know Koenma will shake her awake if he doesn't get answers soon. Kuwabara? Can you come here and carry her please? Kurama, can you get Hiei?" Kuwabara shot over to Botan's side and gingerly lifted Kagome's small form, eliciting a growl from the unconscious Hiei. Botan giggled, and watched in amusement, as Hiei seemed to fight his state of unawareness. Slowly coming too, he blinked and took in the roof for a moment, then sat up groggily. He once again growled at the group standing around him, but this time it was because they were all staring at him.

"What?!?" He barked as he stood up and brushed himself off. He then took note of his lack of injury. He suddenly felt better than he could remember feeling in a long time. His clothes, although still torn, were no longer bloody, and his stomach was smooth and flawless once again. Scowling, he removed his shirt and tossed it aside carelessly. (A.N Come on people! Think about it! Hiei's muscled, well toned body shirtless, and his badass attitude to go with it! Doesn't it just make you want to drool?)

"Nothing! It's just when we came in here, you had your head in Kagome's lap! What was that all about hummm?" Botan asked playfully. Hiei turned his fiercest glare on her. She puckered her lips, and looked away. Yusuke, with his hands shoved into his pockets, strolled up to Hiei, a grin plastered to his face. Despite Hiei's angry glare, Yusuke came closer, his grin growing.

"So what DID happen in here? When Kuwabara went to pick her up, you growled at him, and you weren't even awake! She's hot, I'll admit, but she must have really done a number on you to get that kind of reaction!" With a bland look set on his features, Hiei brought his fist into Yusuke's face, sending Yusuke to the dirt-covered ground. Cracking his neck, Hiei turned to Kuwabara and raised his eyebrow slightly, before speaking to Kurama.

"Are we taking her to your house fox?" His dark eyes seemed to sear holes into the clueless Kuwabara, who was currently signing his death warrant by staring dreamily at Kagome's sleeping face. In a swift motion, Hiei strolled over to him and crossed his arms over his chest. Finally noticing him, Kuwabara glanced at him before returning his gaze to Kagome. Rolling her eyes, Botan placed her hands on her hips, and cleared her throat. Kurama was smirking at the scene before him; enjoying this rare moment of emotion Hiei was showing them. Yusuke, at the moment, didn't find anything funny since he was sitting on the ground glaring daggers into Hiei's back and rubbing his offended cheek.

"Yes, we will be taking her to my house, Botan if you will." Kurama broke the weighted silence, and tore his gaze from the amusing sight of the angered Hiei and the oblivious Kuwabara, to look at Botan. Botan quickly opened a portal to lead them to Kurama's house, and took her leave into it. Laughing to himself Kurama followed. After him Yusuke. When Yusuke left through the portal, leaving Hiei and Kuwabara alone, Hiei snatched Kagome from the tall red head and turned on his heel. Stunned, and slightly pissed, Kuwabara watched as Hiei, cradling Kagome, leapt through the portal. Finally, mumbling curses, the klutzy human followed the rest, the portal closing behind

him.

I'm so sorry that it's this short! But I can't continue until I get a little info. As some of you have read I have no clue what the Yu Yu Hakusho story line is about. I have seen pictures of the gang, and read fan fics, but other than that I'm lost. If someone could give me a run down on the characters, plot, and backgrounds it would be great. In some fics I have read about Kayko and Yukina, but all I really know is Kayko is Yusuke's g/f, and the other is a demon. Some one told me Kuwabara is in love with Yukina, and that she is Hiei's sis? Does she know any of this? And does she like Kuwabara back? Because I have plans for her that do not involve Kuwabara. It would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and if you have given me info, thanks a bunch! I am taking the advice of one of you guys and having a little reunion, but with whom you'll have to read to find out! P.S can some one give me the low down on the bad guys from the Yu Yu series? I kinda need it…THANKS love you all! REVIEW!
