Toni: On with the show!

 

Chapter Four

To the U. S. of A.

 

It was incredible; the way Hiei could hide his feelings no matter what. If anything he was a pro. Only a few people knew where to look, to find the truth, and right now not even those few people knew what was going on. Yukina had been crying, she was asleep on the sofa now, and Kuwabara explained that Hiei had admitted to causing her tears. It had been a shock to say the least. Yukina was the one person they never thought Hiei would hurt, and not care.

Then it hit him like a bolder across the head, Yuske realized that Hiei had wanted Kuwabara to reprimand him for what he had done. Yuske announced his realization in a low whisper,

“Hiei wanted to be punished. That's why he didn't fight back.” They were all in the Kitchen pondering what had happened.

“I think he just wanted to prove I couldn't hurt him.” Kuwabara hissed. He was standing at the doorway, keeping an eye on Yukina.

“Bro, you didn't feel it did you? No you were too angry to notice anything.” Shizuro asked.

“Notice what? Sis, he hurt Yukina on purpose.”

“Yes, but he regrets it. I may not have the same amount of spirit awareness as you two, but I've known Hiei for a while now and I had never seen him like that.” Kurama spoke but didn't look up from his place at the table.

“He's always like that.” Kuwabara didn't seem to want to admit that something deeper than “Hiei just being a jerk” was what was going on. He was being too stubborn because of his lack of knowledge.

“Kuwabara, the only time I heard him yell like that was at the Dark Tournament when he was summoning the Darkness Dragon.” Kurama reasoned.

“If he felt so bad why did he leave her like this, he could have at least said sorry.” Kuwabara continued.

“It's not his way.” Every one froze; Yukina had woken up and was now standing in the doorway.

“Yukina! Tell me what did that bastard do to you. I swear, I'll search for that three eyed ass and finish what I started.” Kuwabara was still seething and even more so now that her sad expression had entered the room.

“Finish what you started? What did you do to Hiei?” Yukina looked worried and sad.

“He hurt you! I gave him less than what he disserved.” Kuwabara frowned, angry,

“I don't think I even phased him.”

“Kuwabara, he's sick and he didn't do me any harm, you shouldn't have done anything to him.” Yukina looked at her feet, her eyes welling up with tears again.

“But he admitted he had made you cry. He had sounded really cold and annoyed.” Kuwabara explained.

“His actions were what had caused me to cry, but not for the reasons you think.” Yukina paused, thinking that if she admitted what to Hiei had shown her that it would be the nothing but the truth.

“What is it he did Yukina? He seems to be suffering because of it, and I'd like to help both of you.” Kurama said as he stood then went to kneel before her taking her hand in comforting gesture. The tears came again, and no matter how hard she tried she couldn't stop them. Yukina sniffed, nobody had noticed that she had been holding something until she held her hands out.

“Are those what I think they are?” Kuwabara asked looking over her shoulder. She nodded.

“You had only given Hiei one so the other one must belong to…” Kaiko stopped and tears began to well up in her brown eyes.

“He's dead, my twin brother is…” she couldn't finish; she dropped to her knees and began to sob holding the gems to her heart.

“There, there, Yukina, are you sure he told you that?” It was Shizuro she was now hugging the ice apparition hoping to cause some comfort. Yukina nodded and Kurama stood and began to walk away.

“Kurama where are you going?” Yuske whispered as he passed him on his way out.

“I'm going to have a nice little chat with my old friend.”

“Then I'm coming too.” Yuske was about to grab his jacket off of the table but Kurama stopped him and with a reassuring smile said,

“I can handle this Yuske,” he looked at the clock on the wall and continued,

“You had promised to visit your mother, it's already six pm. besides you can always talk about this to Hiei later, remember he's on a mission. I don't even know if I'll be able to get to him before he leaves Raikai.” Kurama's smile widened a bit as Yuske sighed and nodded. Kurama left without another word, truly hoping to catch the demon in time.

Five hours before, when Hiei and Botan left for Raikai. When Botan had gotten to Koenma's office she was surprised to find that Hiei had not gotten there before she had.

“Koenma, um, Hiei hasn't by any chance gotten here before me has he?”

“No but hopefully he shows up within the two next hours, you guys have a plane to catch.” Koenma explained handing her their tickets.

“Oh, wow, I better get to packing my cloths then.” She then left the office and began to think about what had happened before she had left Genkai's. Shizuro had said that Hiei had been hurting and to keep an eye on him. She hoped he was all right.

Meanwhile in Makai, Hiei had made his way back here when he had left the temple. He was now running towards Raizen's old territory that now belonged to Yuske. This was the only place Hiei knew that he could vent to catch the attention of some powerful demons with bloodlust. He needed a worthy opponent.

He had found it too, without even trying. A demon had recognized him and wanted to be the tough shit he thought he was.

“Look it's the great Hiei, shorter than I expected.” Hiei glared at the demon. Then punched him in the face sending him flying through a wall where another demon had his shop.

“Hey! Dip shit, you better pay for all of this damage!” Hiei walked up to this demon and socked him too.

Eventually the guard was called and he fought them too, with some difficulty. Before he had gone to the portal from Ningenkai to Makai, he had gone back to the beach and released some more of his energy. So now he was pretty much kicking ass and getting his ass kicked. In the end all of the guards had eaten dirt.

It took a little longer for him to get to Raikai than he had wanted, his leg had been hurt, but it would be fully healed by the end of the day. It was too bad that it was not before Botan had noticed, she had seen the slight limp in his strut when he walked into Koenma's office, that and he had fresh cuts and bruises allover his body.

“Hiei! What happened? Are you all right?” Hiei just glared at her with a quirked brow, as if to say, “What's gotten into you?”

“Jeeze! I'm just worried! I mean look at you!” Hiei glanced over himself and shrugged.

“You two don't have the time to argue about Hiei's state of…” Koenma looks Hiei up and down,

“… Hygiene.” Botan snorted. Hiei glanced a glare towards her, and then glared Koenma down for him to continue.

“We found your demon, but we've only got an rough idea of where he is. You will have to take human transportation to get there, and take on a human alias. I have a branch there and they will aid you as best they can. They will provide you with a place to stay and the currency used there.

Now, I'm going to give you these talismans because I don't want you to kill the demon on Ningenkai territory, it's a disaster waiting to happen. You will seal the demon and take him back to Makai, and then you can do whatever it is you need to do. Botan's handbook has more information if you need it.” He hands Hiei the talismans, Botan a map, and a passport to each of them.

“You should go now your plane will be leaving in about an hour. Because of a terrorist attack the place you will be going to has tightened security. The process will take you about a half an hour for you to actually get on the airplane…. Go! You still have to get to the airport and get your luggage put on the plane.” With that a portal opened up on the wall and he shoed them through.

On the other side of the portal they found themselves at the opposite end of a vary large underground parking lot filled to the brim with cars. They took their time walking to get to the main waiting area of the airport. So now they had about fifteen minutes to go through security. Botan wanted to go in right away to get to their seats.

They presented their passports to the clerk that took Botan's bags Hiei didn't have any. They were a bout to go through the metal detector when Botan realized something.

“Hiei did you bring your sword?” He nodded once.

“Hiei, if you have your sword they wont let us on the plane. Do you think you can get it on without them detecting it.” He nodded again. Botan watched him closely; he seemed to be staring off into space, then she took in what he was doing. The cord that he was staring at was the one to the metal detector, it was unplugging from the wall. They walked through the guards and to the other side, the metal detector silent. Hiei had used his telekinetic power, again to put the plug back in and it went off on the next want to be passenger.

“I thought you were only telepathic. I didn't know you could move things with you mind too. You never did it before.”

“Hn, it gives me headaches.” Hiei grimaced for a second then glared at her.

“What do you mean `Shizuro was right, I should keep an eye on him'?” Botan gasped and covered her mouth. Then frowned.

“Hey! Don't read my mind! There is a thing called privacy you know!” She turned on her heel and led the way to the plane.

“Onna.” Hiei warned, she squeaked and shook her head. He continued to read her mind and found images of earlier from Botan's point of view. Images of him and Kuwabara, Kuwabara fighting, and Hiei just standing there letting Kuwabara use him as a punching bag.

“STOP!” Botan pushed Hiei and ran the rest of the way to the plane. Hiei had seen himself the way she had, he had looked un-phased from the oaf's blows. But he knew otherwise. Botan was confused, and he wanted to keep it that way. He strut the rest of the way, his heels scuffing the floor with every step.

He found his empty seat next to Botan; she had taken the seat next to the window. She looked dazed as she looked through the glass at the other unmoving planes on the port. Hiei grunted and it seemed to startle her attention to him.

“Hiei, listen I'm just worried about you. You looked horrible yesterday, I'm not used to seeing you like that. Everyone was worried about you.” She stated standing up and taking a step towards him, to emphasize her point. Hiei walked passed her and took her seat next to the window. She sighed and walked away, disappointed.

“I know.” Hiei whispered out of her earshot.

The rest of the plane ride was held in silence between the two, Botan had fallen asleep halfway there so there wasn't as much awkwardness as she had thought there would be. When the plane landed Botan got her bags and took out the map koenma had given her. She was standing in the middle of the port, Hiei next to her, random people passing them, as she looked over the map when she said,

“Alright, lets get the spirit world branch then we'll look for your demon from there.” She looked to Hiei for agreement he shook his head.

“We'll start tomorrow, it's not worth looking around without knowing our surroundings. We'll explore today and look for places he might be, probably around crowded places where he can easily blend in.” Hiei stated, and then out of nowhere Botan blurted out,

“Hiei do you know how to speak English? I mean it will be hard to look for the demon if you can't ask if anyone's seen him.” Hiei sighed at this and answered,

“Yes Botan, I know how to speak the language. Now where should we start?” But Botan didn't want to put the subject down,

“When did you get the time to learn? I mean you were in Makai till you robbed the three artifacts, right?” Hiei growled, he wanted to start looking around; Botan took his hint and said,

“Fine! We can talk while we walk. But we will go to the Raikai branch first to get some money.” Hiei quirked a brow at this, then stuffed his hands into his pockets and began to brood. This was why he wanted to go alone, no side tracts. He knew what she wanted to do, the thing any female human or demon, loved no lived to do. Shop, shop, and shop.

They followed the map to the American spirit world branch. In front of them there was a building that looked like,

“Wow, are you sure this is the Raikai branch for here?”

“Onna, you're the one with the map.”

“Here you check it!” She shoved the map at him; he had not said a word the entire time she had tried to look for the place. He seemed to be coming in and out of la-la-land. He glared at her and looked over the paper and sighed.

“Yes onna, this is the place.” She twitched with a look of “Here? You Have Got To Be Kidding Me!”

To say the least it was a dump. It looked like it was condemned. It was at the end of a long trashy alleyway, to the right. It looked like it used to be the back entrance to a bar. The door was worn down and it looked like people had pasted papers randomly on the door and the weather had tried to take them off. It looked like shit.

“Do we just open the door?” Botan asked, Hiei answered by trying to open the door. The doorknob wouldn't budge; instead it sent a small shock to his hand. He shot his hand back and looked at it as part of his bandaged palm smoked.

“Are you okay? What happened?” She reached for his hand; he snagged it out of reach. She huffed and instead went for the door.

“Don't onna.” Hiei warned, she grabbed it and nothing happened.

“What is it Hiei? We have to get that hand looked at. The door probably has demon seals on it to keep demons out.” She opened the door and sure enough the other side of its frame was covered with the said seals. However the inside of the building was the exact opposite of the outside, it had no trash anywhere. In fact the one room was completely white. At the opposite end of the room was another door, probably leading to the front entrance. Botan looked around the small room with a spin on her heel.

“Hm? It seems to be an empty white room.”

“Great observations onna. What now?” Botan put a finger on her chin and held her elbow with her other hand, she had an air of thought about her. Then her face lit up, she remembered something. She rummaged through her purse and took out a single glove, put it on and headed toward the other door. Hiei followed having some idea of what was going on.

With the gloved hand Botan opened the door. On the other side was what looked like the Raikai of Japan, except everyone spoke English. Botan walked through first, a small beep sounded. Hiei sighed and went in next, alarm blaring, lights flashing, and weapons drawn. Botan had frozen out of reflex and was now standing in-between Hiei and the arsenal in front of her. She whimpered a laugh, slowly raised her arms, and said,

“I think we have an appointment.”

 

Kevan: Who do you think they're pointing at?

Toni: It's kind of obvious.

Kevan: Well it's over, no more chapters. Finally I can get some sleep.

Toni: (Starts panicking) O.O say what!?

Kevan: I'm just kidding we haven't even gotten to the best part when…

Toni: (Interrupts) Wait! You can't tell then yet, they have to read the next chapter.

Kevan: Awe! Can I give them a hint?

Toni: (Whines) Ooookaaaay.

Kevan: Yippy! I wasn't going to tell them anything any way!

Toni: -_-; your weird.

Kevan: Well read the next chapter and don't forget to answer the trivia question at the top of this page. Remember to put the name you want as an original character next to your answer.

Toni: Later-sk.
