Chapter 7

"Oneechan," giggled Yukina as they played in the snow. A clump of the flaky white stuff had fallen on Hiei's head which caused the teal haired Koorime to giggle.

"Don't go far," said Hiei as she shook the snow from her hair. Yukina giggled again and went back to playing with her animal friends. Hiei jumped in a tree where she could watch her sister and not get in the way. Seeing that there was no danger to her twin at the moment Hiei settled down for a nap. She hadn't been asleep for five minutes when a snow ball connected with her head, almost making the dark haired Koorime fall off the branch. She looked down to see Yukina giggle with another snow ball

"I've been practicing," said Yukina and threw the snow ball. Hiei jumped down and grabbed a clump of snow and threw it at Yukina. The Koorime giggled when it hit her and threw the snow ball she had made. Hiei dodged that but not the second one and got hit full in the face. Yukina laughed when her sister fell in the snow. Hiei smiled at her sister and waved her arms and legs back and forth, making a snow angel. Yukina joined her a minute later.

"Hiei-neechan," said Yukina softly. They looked at the dark red Makai sky.

"Hai, imouto?"

"Promise me, no matter what, you'll take care of me. I'm took weak to take care of myself."

Hiei looked over at her sister and saw that she was serious. Hiei admitted her sister wasn't very strong, Yukina didn't even like to fight, but to Hiei Yukina was the strongest twin because she was kind to everyone, even if they didn't deserve it. Hiei could never be like that so she turned to her sister to be her other side, her other half. Yukina was strong.

"You are strong," she said taking her sisters hand, "in your own way."

"But not strong like you," she said. "Promise you'll take care of me."

"Of course, Yukina-chan," said Hiei. "I'll take care of you, that's a promise."

Suddenly Yukina became transparent and disappeared. Hiei screamed as she looked around for her sister, but no sign of her as the sky darkened and turned black.

"Yukina!" she yelled. "Yukina, where are you?!"

She felt the ground rumble beneath her and for a second that it was an earthquake, but how could there be an earthquake on the Koorime Island? It was confirmed when a crack appeared in the snow beneath her and gave way. She creamed as she fell in total darkness.

Suddenly she was awake, gasping for breathe and clinging to the tree branch she was perched on. She growled when she realized it was a nightmare. She missed her friends and the Koorime but she knew she wasn't allowed back there anymore. But most of all she missed Yukina, her only true friend in the whole village.

Hiei wiped her tears before they would crystallize and jumped from the branch, looking around to see if there was ant immediate danger. There wasn't any.

`Can't dwell on the past,' she thought. `Have to towards the future. Have to look for Yukina.'

Digging in her pocket she brought out the items she had, two tear gems and the glass fox Yukina gave her. She was saving the two tear gems for emergencies and there was no way she was giving away the figurine, and she needed money. She had heard that demons get their money by stealing or assassination.

"Guess I'll get a job," she said and walked toward the nearest town. It wasn't hard to find where the thieves, mercenaries, and assassins hanged out because it was the one the commoners avoided most. She walked in and went to one wall where employers signed in for job offers.

Shoving her way through she took the flyer everyone seemed to be staring at. A demon growled at her but she growled back, putting a hand on her katana, letting them know that she would fight them: which was against the rules. When in the tavern they aren't supposed to fight for all were the same people, by order of the King of Thieves. She never learned his name but according to what she heard he was fearful for his skill and his temper. Hiei actually wanted to meet him one day.

Hiei grabbed a tankard of beer before sitting down, carefully drinking her drink. The Koorime Village they drank mostly wine but Hiei could buy beer from the back traders for a gem a keg. It wasn't much but it tasted good. The beer she had right now tasted like shit but she took it down and read the flyer. A low level lord wanted another assassinated to extend his land. Seemed easy enough.

Hiei downed her drink and stood up, placing a tear tem on the table and quickly leaving. The waitress sure would be surprised to find that tip on the table. She walked out of town and toward the lord's fief. According to the flyer many tried, and ailed, to assassinate the other lord. Hiei didn't feel that she would join the list. She walked up to the gate and banged on it.

"What," yelled the guard.

"I've come to see your lord," she yelled back with authority.

"Assassin," asked the guard and Hiei grunted.

"Why else would I come here," she growled and the door opened. The guard led her to the lord that would hire her and he looked her up and down.

"You sure you're an assassin," he asked and she shrugged.

"Does it matter," she asked sitting down and propping her feet. "You want the guy dead, right?"

"True, but I have to have proof you're skilled." And the lord pressed a button. A minute later a muscle bound guard walked in, a heavy ax in his hand.

"This will be our new assassin," said the lord. "That is if she survives the test."

The guard began to laugh when he approached her.

"But she's a girl!" he said in a roar. "And she's too short."

"Size does not matter, idiot," said Hiei standing up. "And just because my genitals are inside instead of out doesn't mean I can't do the same things you can."

"You challenging me," growled the guard and Hiei gave a bored shrug.

"If you say so," she said.

The guard roared and swung his ax but Hiei disappeared.

"Where's she go," yelled the lord. "She vanished."

"Fool," said Hiei and the guard felt a sharp metal press against his throat and a slight pressure on his back. "I didn't go far." And she sliced the guard's head off. It rolled under the lord's desk as the body slumped to the floor; a trail of greenish blooded followed it. Hiei jumped off the carcass and walked to the desk, avoiding the blood.

"Are you satisfied," she asked as she took the lord's napkin and cleaned her blade.

The lord nodded. "You're hired!"

Hiei nodded and took in the information the lord gave her. Like the flyer said it was another minor lord that the one hiring her wanted to get rid of to expand his land. Hiei thought it was pathetic but it was a job.

That night Hiei crept around the castle where her victim lived, looking for a way in safefully. Luckily for her there was an open window but it was near the front gate. She didn't know how to get in without getting caught.

"Molf," yelled a servant, "take that trash heap out! It'll catch fire one of these days!"

"Do it yourself," yelled the guard, Molf, and the servant scuffed, slamming the door. "Stupid woman thinks she can control me."

Hiei smiled and looked at the trash that was no more then a kilometer away. Even from where she was she could smell what was in it; rotten food months, no years, old, moldy old clothes, soggy paper and a million other things Hiei didn't want to know. Hiei flicked a small fireball and it instantly started fuming, the flames leaping in the air.

"Fire," yelled Molf and ran to the heap to put out the flames before it reached the castle. "Fire!"

Hiei crept around the servants as they ran with buckets of water and wet blankets to put out the fire. Hiei smiled, flew through the window and hid in a closet as more servants came to put the fire out. Slowly Hiei opened the door to find it clear and ran along the hall, following the blue prints she mesmerized. Following her memory she came to the lord's bedroom and no one in. Hiei shrugged and hid in the shadows for the lord to come in. She didn't have to wait long when the lord came in, ranting about fire and cursing his guards.

Suddenly the lord pulled stopped ranting and stood rigid by his bed. Hiei slid slowly and quietly down in the shadows as the lord looked around. Hiei crouched rigid and still, her toes hurting from the weight of her body. As the lord looked around she crept to another dark corner close to the lord, hoping to not make any sound.

Suddenly the lord pulled a knife from his boot and threw it where Hiei had crouched not a few minutes before. The knife made a thud when it buried itself in the wood.

"I know you're there," growled the lord. "Come out and I'll make a quick death of you!"

"You're the one who'll have a quick death," said Hiei and pulled out her katana. The lord grabbed one from the ordain wall and blocked Hiei's attack. The lord swiped at Hiei and she took the blow in her arm before it could hit her vital organs.

"A newbie," said the Lord. "Aren't you a bit young?"

"No," said Hiei and picked up her sword again, ignoring the blood that ran down her arm to her hand, making holding her sword tricky. Her fingers kept slipping on the handle and making her hand sticky.

"And you're a girl," taunted the lord picking up his sword again.

"Never heard of a female assassin?" snide Hiei. "I'm no prostitute."

Hiei attacked again and again the lord blocked. Hiei tried every move she knew and still the lord blocked. No wonder the other assassins couldn't kill him, he was a good fighter.

"Rawr!" she yelled and swung her sword again with one hand, it was harder for he had more muscle then he but she held him down.

"You cannot beat me," growled the lord.

"Wanna bet?" said Hiei and clutched her free hand. "Jaou Ensatsu Ken! Double!"

Black fire wrapped around Hiei's blade as another black sword appeared in her clenched hand. The flaming sword started melting the metal of the lord's weapon and drip on the lord's exposed throat. He howled in pain and backed off.

"You're dead," he yelled as he clutched his burnt throat.

"No," said Hiei bringing up both swords. "You are." And she sliced him to pieces. His body incinerated till there was nothing left.

"Hn," said Hiei and left through the window, no one knowing she was there.

A/N Can you believe I wrote that whole thing in school? Amazing what boredom can do! And Kurama and Hiei will meet soon! But not actually meet for a while. Confused? Think it over as you wait for the next chapter!
