Silverwing013: Don't ask, just read. It came to mind just a few days ago. It was begging to come out. I do not own YuYu Hakusho. I'd say more but you'll hear me talk more later.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zipping from tree to tree, the black blur seemed unnoticeable to the naked eye. The blur stopped, revealing a vertically challenged boy. His black cloak whipped around in the slight wind. A white bandana was wrapped around his head, jet-black hair stood up at an impossible height with a slight starburst of white. An annoyed expression played upon his face as he glared at the girl sleeping on the branch of his favorite tree.

Hiei growled mentally at himself. What was this human girl doing? She was in his tree and Hiei didn't feel like finding another one after being around the big oaf for the afternoon. Considering the ways he could wake the human, Hiei finally decided to just push her off the tree limb. Certainly a human couldn't die from that even. Koenma would have his ass haled in if he killed off one of these annoying humans.

Decision made, he reached out and pushed the human off. Startled, she woke up on the way down, managing to spot and grab onto a small limb. Hiei glanced down at the human girl in interest. For a human she had a pretty good shield up around her. Nothing Hiei couldn't brake through, but one that deserved small attention to. In fact, the human still had the shield up.

Hiei lay down comfortably, closing his eyes and gripping his katana tightly. Within a few minutes, the branch was shaking under him. He snapped his eyes open to see the human girl standing in front of him, starring blankly at him.

Her hand reached forward, curiously searching the empty air in front of her. Hiei wondered what the silly human was doing for a moment, and then pulled his sword from its sheath.

"Human, I couldn't be in a worse mood."

Her hand continued searching forward, drawing back quickly when it touched the tip of the sword. She sucked on the tip of her finger to rid of the blood, her eyes searching in front of her.

Hiei recalled back to a day he was outside the hospital with the others. She's blind! He realized with a jolt. Deaf too, considering how she hadn't even reacted to his voice before. How in the world did she find her way up here, he wondered to himself. Blind, deaf, it didn't matter to Hiei the least. She was in his tree. Bottom line.

He replaced the sword into its sheath; the other palm pushed her off the branch again. He watched her progress from falling, unlike before. He noted that she spotted a branch and grabbed onto it, managing to snatch the tree limb the first time around. What's this, he pondered. He was under the small belief she couldn't see.

She maneuvered herself from branch to branch. Only this time she headed downward and not back up to the spot where Hiei stood. She glanced upward at the branch before walking away. Hiei had met his length of strange humans in the past, but this one cut the cake. Was she pulling his leg, or could she really not see? Maybe due to her spirit energy and used to being blind, she could find her way around. Then again, her eyes had seen the branch.

He watched her for a moment, noticing she walked straight through the crowd, her ever-constant shield parting her way easily through the crowd. She never glanced at any person on her way down the road or at any laugh or talking the crowd of humans produced.

Considering her unimportant, he stretched out lazily on his branch ready to get a rest from the big oaf's stupid remarks from earlier.

Dairy Entry

After my regular 'school visit' I pended my way back to rest in the cozy tree branch I discovered just yesterday. I think someone was there. They must have been pretty powerful. My shield never stood a chance both times I was pushed off. Thankfully, I was able to grab onto a tree limb to keep from falling the whole distance. Who ever it was, had something sharp. Knife, maybe? This is the first time I've ever actually have felt the touch of someone else since I was five. I wonder who it is. Perhaps I will go back to that tree later. I'm now curious about this somebody.

"Why are we down here? Are you finally going to throw us a party for all our 'heroic' efforts?" Yusuke asked sarcastically.

Koenma threw Yusuke a glance. "Hardly Yusuke. There's a mission I must through on your heads once again."

"Jezz," Yusuke spoke up again. "And I thought we'd be getting confetti and cake."

Yusuke received another glare from the toddler-sized ruler. Kurama glanced at Yusuke, praying he could take the Spirit World Prince seriously for once. "No, Yusuke," Koenma said through gritted teeth.

"What party is one without cake?" Kuwabara asked incredulously.

This remark received looks from everyone.

"He wasn't serious oaf," Hiei sneered at Kuwabara.

"Hey, shrimpy! I wasn't asking you!"

"Better a shrimp than a big ugly orange carrot top who has no brains at all," Hiei said smoothly.

Koenma cut in before Kuwabara could retaliate. "Listen up. This mission needs to be taken seriously. The world depends on it."

Yusuke muttered under his breath, "Don't they all?"

Koenma ignored him and continued on his speech. "Several thousand years ago a prophecy was made for this year. This prediction told of a single person whom could control the future of the worlds. All of them. Either destroyed and to be left with only ash or to be saved from that dire fate."

"What else is new?" Yusuke muttered again.

"Are you going to take your detective status seriously?" Koenma spoke furiously. "Because now would be the time to do it!"

Deciding Koenma was serious, Yusuke shut his mouth. Sighing Koenma turned to the big screen behind him, pushing the play button on the remote.

A light cerulean colored demon stood on the screen. Exotic skintight clothes clung to her. Her navy hair flowed behind her. Nothing happened besides her standing there.

Kuwabara spoke up "Is she going to talk or are we---"

"Yes, I am going to talk carrot top."

Kuwabara drew back. "Eii…I thought this was a tape."

"It is," her voice clicked irritably. "If one of the right person is watching, then a piece of my soul comes to the tape to 'speak' to the other side."

"I understand," Kurama said.

"You do? Cause I as hell don't," Yusuke spoke out.

Kuwabara laughed at Yusuke.

"And you do Kuwabara," Yusuke said sarcastically.

Kuwabara stopped laughing. "Uh…no."

"Hn. This is pointless. I doubt my presence is needed." Hiei started his walk out.

"Stand still fellow demon. Walking out may contain more harm than good," the blue female demon on the screen spoke up.

"Since when have I been concerned?" Hiei said on his way out.

The gang watched his exit. Koenma sighed, asking "Kurama, please get him back in here."

Kurama headed for the door, but returned back without the fire demon. "He was nowhere to be seen."

Koenma sighed again. "Fill him up on what needs to be known later will you?"

Kurama gave a small nod toward the pint size ruler.

"I had more honor and respect given to me in the past I'll have you know," the female demon said.

"My apologies." Koenma said.

"No need, " she said casually, "I've dealt with worse. There are three out of the five here. I only hope the information goes the right way."

The two human boys gazed at her confused. Three out of five?

"The person who contains the whole prophecy, however, is not here. I will speak the prophecy now for your now living enjoyment. 'Seeing but unseen. Listening but unheard. The eyes and ears hold no sign of life. Yet holds the power to destroy or save it. One will save, one with humor, one with normality, one with sense. The choice is her own, but with much interference. Holds the end of the three worlds in the year of two thousand five.' Any more you want to know?"

"What did you just say?" Kuwabara blinked at difficultly of understanding.

"What did that load of crap mean?" Yusuke asked.

"Find out as you go along," she said mysteriously. "My time ends here."

Her body remained unmoving on the screen. Koenma asked the three of the gang remaining, "Is it done?"

Kurama looked mildly surprised. "Perhaps only people of the prophecy can hear it," he mused out loud.

"Yeah it's done," Yusuke said. "Didn't help me any though."

"We shall understand it as we go on. 'Seeing but unseen. Listening but unheard. The eyes and ears hold no sign of life.' I believe these are our clues to her it is referring to," Kurama said.

"That's great, but what does all that bull mean Kurama?" Yusuke asked frustrated. He wasn't counting on a mind game pulled on him.

"I can look it up as much as I can," Koenma spoke up. "But I daresay you shall run into her. That I can offer you help upon."

Koenma rushed off to search the books. The remainder of the gang starred at each other in silence. "Maybe we can't see or hear her no matter how hard we look?" Kurama suggested. "Maybe she can not move and appears dead. Or perhaps she is the one who can not see or hear us?"

"Call me when you are making any sense Kurama," Yusuke stretched his arms up into a yawn. "I'm heading off."

Yusuke and Kuwabara headed off for the exit, Kurama watched them go. Maybe, he thought, she is blind and deaf. But how can you see and listen and not see or hear? The way the female demon had said it, confused Kurama more. Deciding to sleep on it, he headed off.

Diary Entry

Who ever it was, they didn't show up tonight. I was kind of hoping to…oh, I don't know what I was hoping. I'm hopeless. How could I even hope of 'seeing' another human again? Hopeless. It makes me angry to see my shield penetrated through so easily. Must work harder on my skills. Hn. I should just forget there is such a thing as other people. They are all gone. It was my imagination. There haven't been any people since I was five. Why should I believe there is? I guess I need something to hang onto in my existence. Keh'! Listen to me. I'm going soft. I remember back when my mama's first worry was me killing something. Mama….why did she agree to this horrible thing?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hiei looked on from above. He had a good idea on who the prophecy was talking about. He had watched the video from the doorway, hiding his spirit energy from Kurama. Heck if he was going to help those fools. He left without bothering her. In a few days he figured she would leave his favorite tree.
