Disclamer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho but I dream that someday I might...

Hiei was bored.

Down right bored.

He had yet to kill anything in an entire month and that loser Koenma had yet to free him from this prison called Tokyo.

Day in and day out he watched these measly humans walk around, some lost and others performing their daily rituals.

He wondered how these weak, diseased little animals were able to perform the same exact tasks every day with out tiring, and how they fought on even after they had been beaten. They were courageous, but usually a stupid folk, as a breed of animal that was only one step ahead of the regular mortal beast.

Hiei had nothing to do, and he blamed that idiot Koenma for it.

Several times he wanted to slice the toddlers head off, but upon the realization that he wouldn't being doing himself any good by doing it, he kept himself at bay.

Today seemed as any boring regular day... He sat in his tree in the park, watching the human offspring play in the grass...the ducks swim in the pond, and thought of a nice killing on some demon if it were possible.

He would clean his sword all the while, and sometimes get into the habit of day dreaming of death to all that frolicked beneath him.

What a dream!

Their blood spilling on the green grass, tainting it, and the remainders of the living running for their lives.

But of course, Koenma had restrained that too.

Stupid child-sized ruler.

The day passed on quickly and the night was just as cool and graceful, the trees swaying in the breeze.

Hiei should have rested but he was rest less.

Boredom had caused him to be so.

Finally, giving up on his thoughts of sleep, he slipped his sword in his belt and took off in search of entertainment.

He couldn't kill a human of course, but he might get lucky and find a demon or something that had slipped through the force field surrounding the demon world.

He didn't know how lucky he was.

Upon coming over the west side of town, the more "dangerous side" of town, he couldn't help but catch a woman's scream on the wind.

Curious, he decided to check it out.

He wasn't surprised at the sight he saw, just giddy with excitement.

Two demons, low class but still demons, were descending onto this innocent girl that was backing up into an alley way.

The demons were regular...horned...weapons raised high...usual evil gleam in their eye...nothing special to look at there.

The girl however caught Hiei's attention, and he would ponder the reason many times in the future.

She was small, probably just a little taller than him, with long silky waves of black hair, and deep set, pretty blue eyes.

The woman only wore a simple dress, with a red lining and the design of light blue cranes over the white bulk of the dress, and she normal human shoes and a small bag with food in it.

She had just recently come from one of the food stores he had seen humans buying from.

He usually wondered why they bought food when so much of it flew over their heads and wandered in their alleys.

The woman looked rather frightened, with her hands over her head and her eyes blazing with worry, but there was something else.

It was almost as if she wasn't afraid, but only acting it.

Hiei wondered if this was a demon trick, set out to lure unsuspecting people into a trap.

Well, in any case, it would be interesting.

He figured he'd watch the situation for a moment, taking in the demon's actions before killing them. Besides, it made no difference to him whether the woman lived or died.

She wasn't his problem.

The girl tried to scream again, but one of the demons clapped his grubby hand over her mouth and shoved her into one of the walls, his club raised in preparation for a kill.

She fought and scratched and kicked, but the demon seemed too strong for her. Humans...

They were nothing but weaklings after all...

Well...scratch that...Yusuke wasn't a weakling, even though he had been when they first fought.

Yusuke was new to fighting demons then, and had only merely won by tricking him so that he could shoot his back.

Later, after the tournament with Toguro, Yusuke had actually been a match, equaling in speed, strength, and stamina with Hiei himself! Although Yusuke was of course half demon, it didn't matter too much considering that he still won with the weak side pulling him back.

Then there was Kuwabara...

Hiei didn't know whether to call him idiotic, skilled,...or perhaps just plain lucky.

The guy was a walking embarrassment, even though he had managed to win a few fights and actually come to help them in minor ways.

Still...The guy was too confident in his puny spirit sword!

The girl screamed again...

How had she managed to break free?

He saw the demon holding his bleeding hand in certain pain...

Perhaps she had bitten him. It didn't matter, for a moment later the other demon had her shoved against the wall as well, this time holding her throat in his hands.

Hiei didn't know why, but this development angered him.

It was nothing but a worthlessly weak human girl and here he was actually feeling pity and resentment towards the demons!

Well in any case, it was about time to intrude on their fun.

Hiei dropped down to the opening of the alley and snickered. He knew their sensitive ears would hear it, and so he waited for them to turn around and notice him. Just as he thought, they turned around to smile at him.

He grinned himself, but before they could make any jokes about his size or appearance, he had snaked out at them and sliced them both in half, leaving their bodies in bloody heap on the ground.

They hadn't stood a chance...dumb fools...

The girl stared at him for a moment, and in that same moment Hiei thought about decapitating her.

But there were several reasons holding him back.

One was that he couldn't kill a human...especially under probation as he was...

And secondly...there was just something about her that made him feel inferior...

Inferior...?

Out of all traits in the world did it have to be that one!

Why not be she was taller...or stronger...or more skillful...but superior!

"...um..." she began, but Hiei wouldn't hear it.

He leapt up on the roof of the building and vanished...leaving her to fend for herself from there on.

Catse: What did you think? I had gotten the idea from a strange dream I had where Hiei and I were best buddies fighting demons, and so I formed it into a story. I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. So far I have at least eight others to go. Ja Ne!
