Chapter Three

Over the next few days, Kira got used to her ningen form. She also met the resident youkai that went by the name of Yukina. The two of them became instant friends and spent all of their free time together. Hiei showed up one day when Genkai gave Kira the day off after a week of hard work to take Kira out for the day.

"Hiei-san, what brings you here?" Kira asked when she looked up from the book she was reading and noticed Hiei sitting on her windowsill watching her.

"It's your day off isn't it?"

"Hai, it is. But that doesn't explain your presence here. Not that I am complaining any."

"I came to show you something." That quirked her curiosity.

"What is it?" she asked putting her book down.

"It's a surprise. Come on, little one." Hiei said as he stood up. Kira tried to put an angry look on her face but the curiosity was getting the best of her. 'Curiosity killed the fox right?' she thought as she also stood and followed Hiei out into the forest that partially surrounded Genkai's temple. Before they got to one particular clearing, Hiei stopped them and told Kira to close her eyes. Kira did as she was told and felt herself being pulled into the clearing.

"Okay you can open them now." His voice low and sending shivers down Kira's spine. Kira slowly opened her eyes and looked around the clearing. A memorial tablet stood tall by the edge of the clearing. On closer inspection, Kira found her sister's name on it. She gave a questioning glance to Hiei.

"What's this?"

"Your sister's memorial tablet. I thought…" Hiei started to say before Kira hugged him and he felt something wet though his clothes 'What is…is she crying...she is' Hiei didn't know what to do, he wasn't very good at comforting someone but his body betrayed his mind and wrapped themselves around Kira's shoulders trying to offer some comfort.

A quite 'Arigatou ' reached his ears after a while of comforting Kira. Hiei 'hn'ed and withdrew his arms. Kira went over to the memorial tablet and pulled a seed from her hair. As she knelt down, she planted the seed in the ground and used her youki to make a small rose plant grow till the pure white roses were in bloom. Hiei silently marveled at the sight as he watched the plant grow at Kira's tears and youki. Kira stood up and dried her remaining tears on the sleeve of her tunic top.

"Well the chapter on my sister is finally closed." She said as she looked at the flowers again. Red splattered on the white roses signifying blood of an innocent soul had been spilled. "Thank you Hiei-san." Hiei nodded and the two of them left.

****

Hiei roamed the forest of Makai searching for something. He was told that a demon here wanted to talk to him about an assassination job. Since the Reikai Tantei was taking a break and he was restless he decided to hear the demon had to say. He soon came across said demon and they talked, the assassination seemed simple enough and didn't smell of a trap so Hiei took it. How wrong he was.

[Flash]

Hiei lay injured at the base of a cliff. It was a fucking trap and he walked right into it. He cursed himself with all of the curse words known to Makai, Ningenkai and Reikai. His right arm was completely useless, shattered bones screamed pain every time he had to move it. Hiei thought back when he told Kurama and Kira that he was going over here to talk about a job. The looks on their faces were of worry. Kurama even wanted to come with him but he told Kurama off, telling him that there was nothing to worry about and to go to hell.

'I should have listened to them.' He thought as he closed his eyes to try to get some sleep. The demons who did this to him were still after him but for now he could afford a little sleep. As he drifted to sleep, his thoughts were on Kurama and Kira, mostly Kira.

~`~`~`~

Kira woke up in a cold sweat. Her dream still vivid in her mind she could have sworn it was a vision. Hiei was hurt and she was the only one who knew it. She got up from her futon and got dressed in her tunic top and gi pants. Kira ran towards the entrance. She had to go see her brother if it was any other dream she would have let it pass, but Hiei was supposed to be back a few days ago and that dream was too real to be just a dream. It was pouring as she ran out into the streets. Being nearly midnight, there was no one out on the streets as Kira ran to where her brother had told her he lived. Soaking wet she climbed the tree outside his room. No light was on in the room signifying her twin was asleep, so she tried the window. It was opened so she slipped in. Dripping and cold, she went over to Kurama's bedside.

"Oniisan, wake up please." She said as she gently shook Kurama. Kurama mumbled something and turned away from her. She continued to shake him, more urgently this time then last. Kurama opened a sleep hazed eye trying to figure out who was waking him. The image of his twin was blurred but slowly came in as lightning flashed outside. 'His Twin? What in…'

"Kira, what are…?" Kurama started to say as he sat up in his bed.

"Hiei, I think he's hurt. I had a vision, he's hurt really bad. We need to go find him…" Kira's thoughts were all jumbled as she was franticly telling Kurama what was in the vision. Kurama jumped up when there was a knock at his door. He got out of bed and answered the door; a drenched Yusuke and Kuwabara were standing outside.

"Kurama, we need to talk." was all Yusuke said before Kurama let them into his apartment. Kurama led them into his room that Kira was still in and went to get the three towels. As he handed it to them, Yusuke started talking.

"It's about Hiei, Koenma told us that he got a report that Hiei was injured in Makai and wants us to go in after him."

"Then it was a vision." Kira whispered from her place in the corner. Yusuke and Kuwabara turned on her.

"What vision?" Yusuke asked and Kira retold her dream. By the end, Yusuke was wide eyed.

"I, Kazuma Kuwabara, shall go to Makai and single-handedly defeat and save the shrimp." Kuwabara said placing a fist over his heart. Kurama and Yusuke rolled their eyes, they had heard that line one too many times. Kurama and Yusuke started making plans about traveling over there when Kira approached them.

"I want to go with you." She said.

"No, it's too dangerous."

"Look I'm the one who knows where he is, I saw the rock formation and everything, besides I have lived in Makai longer than any of you, I know my way around and the shortcuts. You have to let me go." Yusuke knew she was right and nodded in agreement.

Arigatou : Thanks

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kitsune_Foxfire: What a cliffy. What condition will they find Hiei in when they get to the Makai?

Hiei: Onna, Why did you have to do that to me?

Kitsune_Foxfire: What do you mean? you're the one who didn't listen to the Youko Twins. It's not my fault that you walked into a trap.

Hiei: My fault? You're the one who wrote it.

Kitsune_Foxfire: Yes, well Kira can't be the only one I can mistreat in the writing. Besides how else am I going…* mumbles the rest of the sentence as Kurama and Kira come out of hiding.

Kurama: Hiei, are you giving Kitsune a hard time?

Hiei: So what if I am?

Kira: Hiei, that isn't very nice. You know her Evil Twin is her muse most of the time.

*Hiei snorts in response and leaves, Kurama and Kira following shortly thereafter. Kitsune_Foxfire sighs and turns back to her readers.*
