It was night now. Yusuke and Kurama, with the help of Kai had gotten a fire started for light. Everyone was lying out on towels on the sand. They all talked and laughed and even roasted marshmallows!

 

“Guys,” Kai said. “Anyone know where Hiei went?” Everyone shook his or her head.

 

“I haven't seen him since after we got out of the water,” Yusuke said.

 

“Maybe he went back to Genkai's,” Yukina suggested. Kai thought for a moment.

 

“He is a jerk,” she said. “But, I don't think he would do that.” Everyone shrugged.

 

“He'll come back eventually,” Kurama said. “He usually does.” Kai nodded. She didn't know why, but she was worried about Hiei. Yes, he was a jerk, and he could take care of himself…but Kai had a bad feeling about something.

 

Kurama stood up. Reina, who was sitting next to him, looked up at him. He looked back at her and held out his hand.

 

“Care to go for a walk?” he asked. Reina looked over at Kai as if to ask her if she should go, even though she already knew the answer. Kai looked back, smiled and winked at her. Reina laughed and took Kurama's hand. He helped her stand up.

 

“Yea,” she said. “Let's go.” Reina walked with Kurama down the beach. They were near the end of it where there was a forest of trees on the edge of a good-sized cliff. Reina and Kurama were heading to the opposite end. The two were quiet.

 

“When do you think Kai and I will have to help you guys on one of your missions?” Reina asked breaking the silence. She knew that was a random question, but she couldn't take the quiet and she kind of wanted to know.

 

“Whenever the next one comes up,” Kurama told her. “It will probably be soon, we haven't been on a mission in a few months now, it's strange, we usually have a couple a week.” Reina nodded. Once they got far enough the two walked near the water and sat down in the dry sand. They looked out to the ocean, the sky was clear and the moon was bright. Many stars were visible. Reina sighed.

 

“I love the moon,” she said. “It's so beautiful.” Kurama nodded.

 

“I agree,” he said. He smiled to himself and looked at Reina. She looked back and smiled. “Reina, I have to tell you something.”

 

“Yea?” she asked, still looking at him. He thought for a moment.

 

“I'm not sure how to say this,” he said. He looked down and scratched the back of his neck. “I-um…I…” He sighed. “Maybe this will show you what I'm trying to say.” He leaned in and kissed Reina on the lips. Reina was surprised, but still happy, at the same time. She had been waiting for this. The two pulled away. “Did that help?” Kurama asked and smiled.

 

“Yes,” Reina said and laughed. She leaned in and kissed him again. The kiss got a little intimate, but then was stopped by a loud noise. It sounded like an explosion. The two quickly pulled away again, the sound made them jump. The two looked in the direction they heard the explosion. It came from the direction of where their friends were. “What was that?” Reina asked.

 

“I'm not sure,” Kurama said. He sniffed the air. “I smell fire.” Reina groaned.

 

“Kai…” she said. “What stupid stunt did she do now?” The two listened. Reina had a very sharp sense of hearing so she could easily hear people talking. She jumped up. “Wait…I think something might be wrong.”

 

“What do you think it is?” Kurama asked her. Reina kept listening.

 

“I'm not sure, but it's nothing good, and I think I might've been wrong about Kai doing something,” she said. “Let's go, I hope no one is hurt.”

 

Kurama and Reina ran back to their campsite where their friends were. As they ran both changed into their demon forms.

Yusuke watched as Kurama and Reina walked away. He put his arm around Keiko.

 

“Aw, they grow up so fast,” he said wiping away an imaginary tear. Kai, Keiko, Yukina, and Kuwabara all laughed.

 

“I think the two are cute together,” Keiko told Yusuke. Yusuke nodded.

 

“I admit, they do make a good couple,” he said. Kai nodded as well. Everyone got quiet again. Kai watched the fire burn the wood that they had gathered. She loved the smell of the burning wood and the sound of the fire cracking. The colors of the flames were hypnotizing.

 

“I'm starting to get worried about Hiei,” Yukina said. This snapped Kai out of her daze. “Where do you think he is?” Yusuke shrugged.

 

“He's fine,” he said, reassuringly to Yukina. “Hiei's strong enough to take care of himself if there is any danger.” Kai sniffed the air; she had caught a familiar scent. It was of burning embers and pine trees.

 

“I think he's around here,” she said. She looked up at the cliff with the forest. “I'll check up there.” She pointed to it. Kai stood up and disappeared.

 

&&&

 

Kai flitted through the trees of the forest that sat atop the cliff by the ocean. She was following Hiei's scent, which seemed harder than she thought it would be.

 

His scent was all over the place. Kai would go in one direction, but then would have to turn on a dime because he moved to another direction. It was like he was avoiding something…or someone.

 

Kai stood on top of the tallest tree she could find. She looked all over the forest. She had Hiei's scent, but it was still darting from one place to another. She couldn't see him, either.

 

She jumped down from the tree and scratched her head, wondering how the hell she would catch up to him. She could match his speed, but it was hard when she couldn't see his motions.

 

Suddenly, Hiei jumped out of nowhere and ran into Kai. The two went crashing into a tree. Hiei quickly stood back up. He had his katana drawn.

 

“Hiei!” Kai shouted. “There you are! Everyone is worried about you! Where have you been? What've you been doing? Why do you have your katana out?” the questions poured out of Kai's mouth all in a slur.

 

“Baka wolf! Shut up!” Hiei ordered. He put his arm out and pushed Kai behind him a little. “Stand back.”

 

“What the hell is going on? Why won't you answer my questions?” Kai asked, stupidly. Hiei rolled his eyes, when suddenly a scythe's blade crashed with his katana's. Kai's eyes went wide. She definitely wasn't expecting that.

 

Hiei and his attacker had their blades pressed together and it seemed like they were testing their strength. This pause in their battle gave Kai a good chance to look at who was attacking Hiei.

 

Kai could tell it was a demon. Hiei's opponent had reddish-orange fox ears and tail. They wore all black form-fitting clothes which made it obvious it was a female. She had on tight black pants; the bottoms were tucked in her black boots. She wore a black corset that had tight long sleeves. She wore a mask that covered her nose down to her neck. Her hair was tied up into a high pony-tail. She had midnight-black hair. Small strands of blue were visible. The demoness' eyes were dark blue-green. They seemed angry, filled with hate.

 

Kai smelled the air again. Another familiar scent came to her but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was. It was faint, so that didn't help matters.

 

After studying the girl, Kai paid more attention to the demoness and Hiei's battle. Hiei darted all over. The fox demon couldn't keep up but she could easily follow his movements with her eyes. Kai could tell she was strong. An A class demon, hands down, and one that might even be able to give Hiei a run for his money.

 

Kai changed into her demon form. She didn't have her katanas with her but she still had her fire and wolf powers. She decided Hiei might need a little help. Kai got into a fighting stance and her fists instantly came on fire. Her eyes flashed blood red, her nails grew to claws, and her fangs glistened as she smirked and got ready to attack.

 

Hiei noticed Kai getting ready to fight.

 

“Baka, stay out of this,” he shouted as his sword clashed with the fox demon's scythe. “You have no weapons, you'll get killed!”

 

“Well, thanks for having faith in me, Hiei,” Kai said, sarcastically. “I'll be fine, it's not like this is my first real fight against another strong demon.” Kai jumped into the battle. She kicked and punched at the enemy demon, flames bursting every time she made contact.

 

Hiei was by her side helping, and making sure that Kai didn't get hit with the blade of the scythe. She had nothing to guard herself with but her flesh. She wore shorts and her bikini top from earlier, and that was it. She had no defense against the blade what so ever.

 

The girl was putting up a tough fight. It seemed as if while she was fighting, her strength was going up, not down. Hiei and Kai had trouble finding her weak spot.

 

All of a sudden, the blade of the fox's scythe shone a bright blue. She slashed it at Kai, creating a large gash on her stomach. Kai screamed out in pain and fell to her knees, arms wrapped around her stomach. She laid her head down on the ground and screamed bloody murder.

 

Hiei growled at the fox and went to run to Kai, when the fox demon stood in her way.

 

“Don't get near her,” the demoness said. Her voice sounded more like a woman's, even if she was more like Kai and Reina's age. The girl's voice was dark. “If you do, she will die.” A growl escaped from Hiei's throat again.

 

“What did you do to her!?” Hiei shouted. “I've never seen her like that for a gash on the stomach; I know she can take that. Why is she acting like this for a simple cut?” The fox demon laughed. Screams were still coming from Kai.

 

“Her element is fire? Am I correct?” she asked. Hiei's eyes narrowed and he nodded. “The element I possess contradicts hers. I used an attack that took my elemental spirit energy and transferred it to my scythe. A fire demon's body cannot handle that kind of spirit energy.”

 

“What's going to happen to her?” Hiei said though clenched teeth. He could see the smirk from under the fox demon's mask.

 

“Slowly my spirit energy will tear away at her organs and her own fire spirit energy,” she told him. “She has a few hours to live still. She will be in unbearable pain and agony, until she finally does die. This is the same technique I used to kill her brother.”

 

“You bitch!” Hiei shouted. “I'll fucking tear you apart! Limb from limb!” The demoness laughed maniacally.

 

“Calm down,” she said once she stopped laughing. “There is an antidote, but it's extremely rare. If you can find that and heal her wound before she dies from other causes, like blood loss or infection, she will live.” The fox smirked again. “Good luck with that, though.”

 

As the two were talking, Kai had stopped screaming. Her breathing was uneven and heavy from all the pain, but she had an idea. Hiei was distracting the demoness from Kai and Kai began to perform her own attack. She closed her eyes and concentrated all of her fiery energy. When she opened her eyes, they were a brighter red and fire surrounded her whole body.

 

Hiei noticed this once the flames got brighter. He looked at Kai with a confused expression. The kitsune turned and looked as well, wondering what was going on. Kai screamed again and that's when the explosion took place. The fire energy released from her body in one burst causing flames to go everywhere.

 

Hiei put his hands up to guard himself from the flames, which didn't hurt him badly since he was part fire demon, himself. Once the flames and smoke died down, he saw that the fox demoness was gone. He wasn't sure if she had died or escaped, but that didn't matter right now.

 

He looked over at Kai, who was still clutching her sides tightly and laying her head on the ground. She looked as if she was about to close her eyes, but she forced them to stay open a little. Hiei could tell her breathing was off and he noticed her muscles tighten and she would wince every few seconds.

 

Hiei walked over to the wolf demon and picked her up carefully.

 

“We have to get you to Kurama,” he told her. “He will know what to do.” To the side he whispered, “Hopefully.”

Yusuke, Kuwabara, Yukina, and Keiko were all lying down on beach towels at their small campsite. It was late at night and it had been a long fun day.

 

Kuwabara was the first to fall asleep and he was snoring loudly. Yusuke had no idea how but Yukina was the next to fall asleep and she was lying right near Kuwabara.

 

Yusuke and Keiko both stayed away looking up at the stars. Yusuke had his arm around Keiko and she laid her head on his chest. She was beginning to fall asleep, as well. Suddenly, there was a loud noise and the smell of smoke filled the air. Keiko and Yusuke both jumped up along with Yukina. The noise hadn't wakened Kuwabara up.

 

“What was that!?” Yukina asked, worried.

 

“I'm not sure,” Yusuke said.

 

“It came from the direction Kai went to look for Hiei,” Keiko pointed out. “I hope no one is hurt!”

 

“Stay here,” Yusuke said. “Kurama and Reina must've heard that, when they come, tell them to stay as well. I'm going to go check that out.” Keiko and Yukina nodded. Yusuke was about to run off, but Keiko grabbed his arm. He turned to look at her.

 

“Be careful,” she said and kissed him. Yusuke smiled.

 

“I'm Yusuke Urameshi, number one punk of all four worlds! What can go wrong?” he said. Keiko gave him a small smile and he ran off to the forest where the explosion took place.

 

Not too shortly after Yusuke left, Reina and Youko got back to the campsite.

 

“What's going on here? Is everyone alright?” Reina asked. Keiko nodded.

 

“Where's Yusuke?” Youko asked.

 

“He went to see what caused the explosion,” Yukina said.

 

“He told us to tell you both to stay here,” Keiko said.

 

“Where's Kai?” Reina asked. No one said anything. “Where is she?”

 

“She went into the forest looking for Hiei awhile ago,” Keiko said. “She hasn't come back since then.” Reina's eyes widened.

 

“Do you think…” she began. She looked down. Youko hugged her.

 

“She should be fine,” he told her. Then the four that were awake looked up at the cliff where the forest was, waiting for Hiei, Yusuke, and Kai to safely return.
