Chapter 1: Destroy the Competition

*Mukuro's Palace*

`Where is my heir?' Mukuro thought in frustration. `I told him specifically to stay within the palace grounds. I've asked every demon I encountered, if they had seen him.' She stopped for a second to massage her temples. `Where could he be...'

A black blur dodged by the humanoid robot. Mukuro reached forward and grabbed the energetic fire demon to a stop. "Now, just where are you going?" She cocked an eyebrow at Hiei.

"Nowhere." Hiei replied in a matter-a-fact tone. He grabbed her arm and forced her to let go of his left one.

Mukuro was not as stupid as she looked. "Then, where were you coming from?" She asked.

`Cornered now.' Hiei thought. "I've had enough of filing papers. That's Tomu's job. " Hiei snarled.

"Tomu was making you file papers?" Mukuro asked, slightly amused.

Hiei nodded.

Mukuro looked remotely interested, but didn't press the topic further.

"When I get my hands on that low class demon, I'll..." Hiei growled calmly.

"I would like to speak with you Hiei." The bionic woman said. She grabbed his arm and lead him over to a map of her territory. She pointed to a small village marked near a river. "The demons in this village, are increasing their power. They plan to take over my territory. I want you to destroy everything there. Do not even let a blade of grass withstand your attack."

Hiei merely nodded in accord.

"Well then. Be off with you." She motioned for him to leave with her hand, shooing him away.

*Genkai's temple*

Yukina tended to the plants in the temple gardens. She looked at the verities of flowers there. Beautiful Ningen flowers, like red roses, Daffadils, Daisies. There was a quantity of exotic Makai plants as well. Like the Makai Ice Flower. She liked that one quite a lot, although it could become a rampaging, killing machine if it sensed a large amount of Ki, or if it smelled blood.

She walked through the garden, giving each flower and plant the same amount of attention and care. She sang, her melodious voice drawing the birds close.

Soon, her cheerful mood vanished, as she neared a certain tree.

Hiei...

Yukina touched the bark of the tree. She missed Hiei most of all of the Reikai Tanteis. At the thought of the Tanteis, loneliness engulfed her.

`Perhaps Genkai will let the Tanteis and the rest of the group, come for a reunion...'

Yukina's spirit lifted at this thought, and she joyfully bounded off to ask the old woman.

*In a tree near the village*

Hiei planned his attack, standing in a tree, the shadows hiding him well. A vibrating was felt at his hip.

The cellphone Kurama had given him for Christmas...

Hiei unhooked the cell from his belt. `Ok, so I just press this and...'

"Hiei!" Kurama's voice filled his sensitive ears.

Hiei had to grab onto the tree so he wouldn't fall off. "Fox, I'm in the middle of something here!" Hiei responded harshly.

"Sorry Hiei." Kurama sounded apologetic, but is soon passed in the next second, only to be replaced by his previous delighted one. "Well, Yukina is inviting everyone back to the temple to have a reunion."

Hiei listened with slight interest. "Look Fox, I'd love to come, but I have to destroy a village and make sure nothing survives..."

"Oh, I know. Mukuro told me. She gave you permission to come back to the Ningenkai after your task is done." Kurama sounded way to giddy for Hiei's liking, but hey, Hiei was happy too.

"Alright Kurama. I'll be there soon. I'll make this quick." With that, Hiei pressed the `end' button, and placed the phone back on his belt and resumed his plans.

*Genkai's Temple*

Kurama walked back into the temple. Yukina was in the kitchen waiting for Hiei's answer to the invitation.

"Yes"

`Yes? Hiei said yes.' "That's wonderful Kurama." Yukina smiled. She went off to inform Genkai.

Kurama watched her happily. Hiei, you really know how to please people, even if you don't mean to...

With that thought and said, Kurama got in his car and drove back to his apartment.

*Village*

`Ok, I'm going to do this the more obvious way...' Hiei jumped from the tree, unsheathed his sword and struck the closest demon, dead.

After about two hours of killing and watching crimson mingle with the sapphire of the river, Hiei decided to speed the process up a bit.

Hiei sent his fire attacks, one after another, at the houses and buildings. Everything burned.

Another hour or so passed before Hiei felt he was really finished with his task.

As he was about to turn and leave, a pair of icy blue eyes brandished from the dark. Hiei stepped closer and the girl who the eyes belonged to, stepped out from the dark.

She appeared to be six or seven years old. She had unruly black hair, icy blue eyes and pale skin. She was shivering, and stared up at Hiei with complete fear. Here eyes seemed to ask to be saved.

Hiei's attempts to grab his Katana, were futile. Something about this girl reached deep inside his soul, and he had to smile gently.

"C'mon, let's get you cleaned up."

She reluctantly followed the fire demon. "Mister, what's your name?" She finally asked him.

"Hiei."

"Oh." She calmed a bit. "I'm Hitomi." She smiled. "You're a fire youkai?" She asked.

"Yeah." Hiei said, as he continued to walk forward. "Half fire demon anyway. Also half Koorime." `Why am I telling a child this…?'

"Me too."

As Hiei was about to enter the castle, his eyes widened at this bit of information. "Really." He stated, rather than asked.

Hitomi was puzzled by his action, but smiled anyway. "Yup."

Hitomi suddenly looked around. "Wow."

*Genkai's Temple*

Kuwabara raced around, trying to assist Yukina in any possible way. With cooking, decorating, making presents.

He looked through the gifts. Me, Urameshi, Kurama, Genkai, Botan, Shizuru, Hiei…Hiei? Oh well, she does seem to like him a lot…

Shizuru and Botan walked into the kitchen. They saw Kuwabara and Yukina scurrying around.

"Can we help?" Shizuru asked.

"Yes, please." Yukina replied when she had a second to spare.

Mukuro's Palace*

"Hiei, I thought I told you to kill everyone, everything… Not to let a single soul live!" Mukuro shouted at the Koorime.

Hiei silenced her with a detached, dejected look on his face. "I could somehow, identify with her… How her life is like mine… lonely…"

Mukuro looked sort of dazed by that comment. "Oh…" Was all she could manage with a topic like that.

"I still said not to let a damned, retched soul live the attack!"

"Shh… Not in front of her…" Hiei pointed to Hitomi who was still amazed at the palace.

Mukuro sighed. "Alright Hiei. You win this time. You may keep her here, as long as you keep her out of trouble, like you seem to get yourself into."

"Ok."

"Also, Kurama contacted me. You are going to go to that reunion, so is the girl. So get cleaned up and get ready to leave." With that, the bionic woman turned and left.

Hiei turned to the little raven-headed girl. "C'mon Hitomi, lets get cleaned up to go to the Ningenkai, to see my friends."

"Ok. Are they humans?"

"Some of them."

"Cool. I always wanted to meet a human without them getting scared of me…"

Hiei gave her a rare smile and pushed Hitomi into the bathroom and closed the door. "Get clean! Hurry up! I'll get your clothes."

"Ok!"

`I can't wait to go to the Ningenkai!' Hitomi thought.

So, I hope I did a fairly good job on my first Yu Yu Hakusho fic on this particular web site. So, before I continue, I would gladly appreciate a couple reviews. I love them. I accept words of praise, flames (depending on how harsh they are, I might not pay attention to them), and concrit. ~Shiro
