Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho

+++ Hiei's eyes began to flicker open as he heard a voice, 'her' voice. She was talking about how Botan was so uptight.

"Hn, why didn't someone wake me?"

Everyone stopped talking to look at the irate Hiei.

"Sorry Hiei. I saw you asleep when I came in. You looked so peaceful, Kurama was going to wake you up, but I told him to let you sleep." Zaylana had stood up from where she had been sitting and walked over to Hiei.

"Don't worry, Hiei, you didn't miss anything. I basically just woke up myself." Zaylana grabbed Hiei's hand and pulled him along behind her.

"Come on Hiei, I'm not dragging you to your death, that's Botan's job." Hiei was slightly resisting, kind of like a stubborn child, even though he would have gone willingly.

"I doubt you could kill me, you're nothing but a little ningen girl." Hiei stated quietly.

"Ha, I'm no ningen. I have very little human blood in me. In fact, I probably have more demon blood in me than you do. You'll all find out what in a while if I want to bother explaining."

Zaylana had reached a chair and pushed Hiei into it, who looked up into the slightly angered face of Zaylana.

"Oh yeah, for your information, little baka, I have not yet failed any of my missions." Zaylana was smirking and that hurt Hiei's pride.

"What about Kurama?" Hiei sought a way to prove her wrong.

"He doesn't count, he was pardoned. I can't kill the pardoned. Nice try though, Hiei."

Hiei liked a good fight, physical or otherwise, so he continued.

"So you've killed everyone you've gone up against?"

"Yes, no one is spared. All those people that I've been assigned to kill are dead. It's because they're all dead that I'm on a break right now. If you were still on my list you would be like all the others, dead." Zaylana said simply.

"Hn, I'm sure I would be." Hiei said sarcastically. Hiei felt more arrogant. "I'll bet I could beat you at a sword fight anyday."

Zaylana perked up. There was nothing she liked more than a good fight. (Yet)

"Oh really short stuff." Hieis cheeks when slightly red at the remark. "Fine then Mister I-can-beat-anybody-no-matter-how-much-better-than-me-they- are. (Long name), I challenge you to a sword fight."

"Just name the place and time and I'll be there." Hiei wanted this fight.

"Fine, tomorrow, dawn, in the gardens near the ledge out back." Zaylana couldn't wait. "But it's not to the death, just the first to draw blood."

"Why not? Afraid you'll lose?" Hiei was goading her.

"No, It's just that I would rather not see your eyes closed in death." Zaylana didn't look like she was joking.

Hiei felt uncomfortable now. He knew she'd meant what she'd said. He didn't want to see her dead either.

"Fine, first blood it is." Hiei agreed.

"Zaylana, are you sure? I mean Hiei is pretty good. He nearly killed me." Yusuke stepped forward.

"Ye hath little faith ningen." Zaylana felt insulted, but of course they had only just met her.

"Yeah, my money's on you, Zaylana, kick shorty's butt." Kuwabara said, rather loudly.

"Thank you, Kuwabara." Zaylana patted Kuwabara on the shoulder. Kuwabara looked like a little kid who'd finally done something right.

"I'll be going now; I need to prepare myself for battle. Tell me, Hiei, what type of sword shall we use, your choice?" Zaylana was confident in her abilities with all the types of swords.

"Katana, that's all I own." Hiei was proud of his sword.

"Fine, Katana it is then. I'll be ready by tomorrow." Zaylana started walking out.

"Later, Hiei baby." She threw the sarcastic remark over her shoulder.

Hiei went bright red. Kurama's hair couldn't compare. (I had to throw in my own rhyme.) The others snickered at the remark.

Kurama placed his hand on Hiei's shoulder. "Hiei, I believe you're blushing." Kurama stated the blatantly obvious.

Hiei shifted to remove Kurama's hand.

"Hn, I'm just angry, I'm not blushing." Hiei lifted his chin arrogantly.

"Whatever you say, Hiei." (My other rhyme) Kurama laughed quietly.
