muie5: I know that Muie always running away can get annoying, but it's what I thought of at the moment.

 

Kurama: You are going to have to forgive her. She wrote it in math.

 

muie5: It's hard to think in that class let alone trying to write.

 

Hiei: Stop making excuses.

 

muie5: I'm not!

 

Yusuke: Just get on with it.

 

muie5: Okay. I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, but it would be so cool if I did. -starts thinking about what it would be like-

 

Kurama: She only owns Muie.

 

muie5: And this pretty...whatever it is. Anyways, on with the story!

Chapter 3: Old Friends and New Threats

 

She looked up at a good-size boy. He was wearing blue jeans with a white T-shirt with greased-back black hair. He had a punk look to him. Muie stopped rubbing her head when she started to just stare at him.

 

“Hey, little girl,” the guy greeted rather friendly.

 

When Muie stood up she came to about his belt line. Muie then jumped back, and got into defense position.

 

“Hey! Hey!” the guy said, waving his hands in front of him, “I'm not looking for a fight.”

 

“Then what do you want?” Muie asked, not putting her guard down.

 

“Just got a little lost,” he said, rubbing the back of his head out of embarrassment.

 

“Hn,” was all Muie replied with.

 

Then a demon came out of the bushes. Once it saw Muie it ran at her, but the new guy tripped the demon without any effort what so ever.

 

“It's not polite to attack kids,” he said as he picked up the demon.

 

This new guy started punching the demon over and over again. Muie started to put down her guard as she watched him beat up the demon.

 

“Who is this guy? It's like he protected me out of instinct. I wonder…” her thoughts were interrupted when the guy dropped the bleeding demon.

 

As soon as he did some brush started to move again. The guy turned ready to fight. Out of the brush walked Mukuro and Hiei. Muie ran behind the new guy. She figured it was safer to trust this new comber than to face her parents.

 

“Yusuke?” Hiei asked, a bit surprised at seeing him out of the blue like this.

 

“Hey, Hiei!” Yusuke said, “Mukuro, I presume.”

 

“Yes,” Mukuro answered.

 

Yusuke then looked behind him at the uneasy Muie. Mukuro started to walk over to them, and Muie gripped tighter to Yusuke's pants. When Mukuro was right in front of Yusuke, she bent down.

 

“Come here!” Mukuro ordered strictly.

 

Muie shook her head, and held tighter onto Yusuke's pant leg.

 

“Now!” Mukuro ordered again.

 

Muie wouldn't let go still.

 

“What's with the girl?” Yusuke asked, turning back to Hiei.

 

“Long story,” Hiei answered calmly.

 

Mukuro looked back at Hiei with frustration in her eyes. “Would you help?” Mukuro asked, trying to keep her voice down.

 

“Come here, Muie,” Hiei commanded on a cold tone.

 

Muie immediately let go of Yusuke's pant led and walked over to Mukuro. Mukuro picked Muie up, and started walking off.

 

“Follow me, Yusuke,” Hiei ordered, following Mukuro.

 

Yusuke did as he was told, and walk beside Hiei.

 

----Back at the house----

 

Mukuro walked in, and went upstairs still carrying Muie in her arms. Hiei and Yusuke then walking into the house.

 

“Nice place. Do you and Mukuro live here?” Yusuke asked with a grin on.

 

“Hn,” as his daughter's, was Hiei reply.

 

“You haven't changed,” Yusuke stated, smiling.

 

“The others should be coming back soon,” Hiei said in a bored tone, looking at him.

 

“Others?” Yusuke asked.

 

“Yes, the lunckhead and Yukina left to Human Worlds a week ago. Kuwabara had to cheek up with Shizuru and Yukina went with him.”

 

“REALLY!”

 

Just then Kuwabara came walking into the house laughing and carrying on. Yukina followed in after him, laughing as well. Both stopped and looked at their old friend.

 

“Is that really you, Urameshi?” Kuwabara asked.

 

“Of course it's me. Who else is this perfect?” Yusuke answered.

 

“Greetings, Yusuke,” Yukina said with a smile and a bow.

 

“Hey, Yukina. Everyone taking care if things around here?” Yusuke asked.

 

“Yes,” Yukina answered with a nod.

 

They all walked into the living room to catch up a bit.

 

“Should I ask why Kurama is sleeping on the couch?” Yusuke asked while looking at the unconscious Kurama.

 

“No,” Hiei answered.

 

So with that Yukina, Kuwabara, and Yusuke sat on the other couch, opposite of the one Kurama was on. Hiei leaned against the wall closer to Kurama and below the stairs. Everyone, except Hiei, started talking and catch up. Once in a while Yusuke and Kuwabara would yell at each other.

 

Mukuro came walking down the stairs and into the living room shortly after everyone got situated. Hiei never moved, but Yusuke and the others looked over at her. Yusuke got up and walked over to her.

 

“Mukuro, I was wondering. Why are you here? I mean you're a Makai lord after all. Why be here?” Yusuke asked.

 

“Hiei,” Mukuro answered.

 

“Hiei?” Yusuke repeated while looking over at his friend.

 

“Mother,” Muie said, walking down the stairs.

 

Mukuro turned to her with a sigh. “I told you to go to bed,” she said, crossing her arms in front of herself.

 

Hiei stood up and turned to Mukuro. “Leave the girl alone,” Hiei said.

 

Mukuro turned to him with fire in her own eyes. “You're too soft!” Mukuro retorted back.

 

Yukina, Kuwabara, and Yusuke watch as Hiei and Mukuro argued back and forth.

 

“Is it just me or do they fight like an old married couple?” Yusuke asked ignorantly.

 

Just then a moan was heard. Kurama sat up, and looked at the fighting demons. “Not again…” he sighed. Then he saw Muie whom had her head down and eyes shut tightly.

He stood up and yelled, “SHUT UP!”

 

Mukuro and Hiei both looked over at him as well as everyone else in the room. Muie ran over to Kurama, and knocked him back onto the couch with a hug.

 

“I'm so glad you're okay, Uncle Youko!” Muie cried into his chest.

 

“Yes,” Kurama said in no more than a whisper.

 

Muie jumped off him once the waves of heat hit her. “Uncle Youko! You're burning up!”

 

“Muie, he's in…Nothing's wrong. It will be gone in the morning,” Hiei said instead, realizing telling her he was in heat was not a smart idea.

 

Yusuke, by this point, was staring at the girl with questioning eyes. “Uncle Youko?” Yusuke asked.

 

“Oh, yeah! I forgot you weren't here. Shorty and Mukuro are married, and…” Kuwabara was cut off right there.

 

“MARRIED!” Yusuke yelled with surprise in every vain in his body.

 

“Yes,” Hiei and Mukuro said together.

 

Yusuke looked from Muie to Hiei to Mukuro a couple of times. “Is she…Is she…” Yusuke couldn't even finish his sentence from all the shock he was in.

 

“Yes, Yusuke. Muie is Hiei and Mukuro's daughter,” Kurama answered.

 

Yusuke couldn't help but bust out laughing at that answer. Muie just stood there staring at Yusuke. She grew even angrier with every passing second.

 

“WHAT'S SO FUNNY ABOUT THAT!” Muie finally blew up.

 

Yusuke stopped laughing and looked over at the very ticked off Muie. “It's just that I've known your father a long time, and I'd never have thought he'd become a dad,” Yusuke answered calmly.

 

Muie ran over to Hiei, and grabbed his arm. “Daddy, who is this guy?” Muie asked, looking up at him.

 

“This is Yusuke Urameshi. He's the descendant of Raizen; a Mazaku,” Mukuro answered.

 

“Jeeze! Now you're making me feel bad. You know so much about me, and I only know what I've been told through rumors,” Yusuke stated.

 

Muie walked over to Yusuke, and circled around him a few times. Yusuke watched every move she made. Muie stopped in front of him after circling around him five times.

 

“So you are Uncle Yusuke that I have heard so much about,” Muie stated.

 

“Uncle?” Yusuke asked, looking over to Hiei.

 

Kuwabara got up and smiled. “You'll get use to it. I'm Uncle Kuwabara,” Kuwabara said proudly.

 

“The three of us that were in the Spirit Detective team are uncles. Yukina is the aunt. You should know since Hiei has no brothers,” Kurama explained, never getting up.

 

“Did Yukina…” Yusuke was cut off.

 

“Or sisters,” Kurama finished.

 

Yukina looked at Yusuke. “Did I what?” she asked politely.

 

“Nothing. Never mind,” Yusuke answered, more than needed cover-up tone in his voice.

 

“Umm…Okay,” Yukina said back.

 

“Muie, go up stairs,” Mukuro ordered.

 

“Mother,” Muie wined, turning to face her.

 

Mukuro's energy surrounded her body.

 

“Fine,” Muie gave-up, walking up the stairs.

 

When Muie got to the top of the stairs she hid so she could hear what was going on. Mukuro then turned to Hiei.

 

“Kurama, are…” Hiei couldn't finish before Mukuro grabbed his wrist and dragged him out of the room.

 

Everyone just stared at them.

 

“What's with those two?” Yusuke asked to no one in particular.

 

“They have some issues,” Kurama answered.

 

“Yeah…” Kuwabara agreed.

 

-----In the other room----

 

“Hiei, please don't take Muie out of the house,” Mukuro said, letting go of his wrist.

 

“Why?” Hiei asked.

 

Mukuro looked away. “By now you know a lot of demons are after her,” Mukuro started off with.

 

“Yes, and I told you she can take care of herself. As well as I,” Hiei replied with.

 

“Well, yes…I know. It's just she's stronger than what anyone seems to know,” Mukuro finished, looking back at her husband.

 

“What do you mean?” Hiei asked, looking into her eyes.

 

“Hiei, Muie is far stronger than you and me. When her life is seriously in danger, or anyone who she loves, she shows that power,” Mukuro explained.

 

“What's wrong with that? Protecting herself and the ones she cares…” Hiei was cut off.

 

“She goes insane with power! When the power gets to strong for her to handle she tries to kill anyone and anything in her way. I, myself, have almost gotten killed by her, but when she returns to her normal self she remembers nothing,” Mukuro laid it out for her husband.

 

“Understood. We'll keep her with us or inside, nowhere else till she is able to control her powers,” Hiei agreed.

 

“Thank you,” Mukuro said with a smile.

 

----Back in the front room----

 

“What are they saying, Fox-boy?” Yusuke asked.

 

“Muie,” Kurama answered, turning back to his friends.

 

“Muie?” Yusuke asked as Hiei and Mukuro came walking into the room again.

 

Yusuke and Kuwabara ran and jumped onto the couch trying to cover-up their eavesdropping. Just then Muie came walking down the stairs.

 

“Mother. Dad. Can we go back home?” she asked, looking at her parents with a sincere look.

 

“Why, Muie?” Mukuro asked, looking at her daughter.

 

“Cause, Mother. I don't want anyone hurt because of me,” Muie answered.

 

“No one will, Sweetie,” Mukuro reassured her.

 

“You're wrong!” Muie stated.

 

“Why do you say that, Muie?” Hiei asked.

 

“This,” Muie said, holding out a note.

 

Hiei took the note from his daughter and started to read it.

 

“What does it say, Hiei?” Yusuke asked.

 

So Hiei read it out loud to satisfy Yusuke's curiosity, “I am after you, Muie. I will not be afraid to kill anyone who stands in my way. That includes your mother, father, and your Uncle Youko, Girl. If they are stupid enough to actually try to fight against me than they're stupid enough to die. So just know this one thing, Muie: I'll get you even if everyone has to die for it to happen. - Kuronue.”

 

“Who's this Kuronue?” Yusuke asked, taking the note from his friend.

 

“Just another demon that thinks he's worth a pickle,” Kuwabara answered, not really knowing whom it was either.

 

“No…” Kurama disagreed, finally snapping out of his shocked state.

 

Everyone looked over to him.

 

“Do you know that psycho, Kurama?” Kuwabara asked.

 

“Yes…Kuronue use to be my partner…when I was still Youko,” Kurama explained, “ but he died many years ago. He was killed while we were escaping from a hatched burglary. His pendant was cut, and he went back after it. When he reached his pendant a bamboo trap got him in a main vain in his leg. He died while telling me to run.”

 

“So why would your old partner want my daughter?” Hiei asked.

 

“Maybe the money on her hea...” Mukuro `cleaning' her throat cut off Kurama.

 

“There's money on my head? I guess that's why every demon in Makai attacks us. Of course, I guess I always knew it deep down,” Muie said calmly enough to creep out anyone.

 

“Hiei, your kid is exactly like you! She has an attitude problem, a short temper, and is fearless,” Yusuke stated.

 

“I do not have an attitude problem OR a short temper!” Muie yelled.

 

“Hiei, we best go back to the castle. She'll be safer there,” Mukuro suggested.

 

“No, it's best for us to stay here,” Hiei argued.

 

“Mukuro, the Spirit Detectives will take care of her. You have my word,” Yusuke promised.

 

“How can I trust your word?” Mukuro asked angrily.

 

“Just trust me! I am one of…” Hiei cut him off.

 

“Stop before you get in too deep with her,” Hiei then turned to Mukuro, “Mukuro, trust him.”

 

“If you do then so do I, Hiei,” Mukuro said.

 

“What about me? Don't I get a say in anything!” Muie complained.

 

“Muie, we are doing what we think is best,” Mukuro explained, turning to her daughter.

 

Just then a window broke and blue smoke filled the room.
