-Flashback from Hiei's POV: At age 14, 8th grade with friend Kalia-
"I didn't mean to," Hiei pleaded," I'd never try and kill you. I didn't know about your wolf form. Kalia, come back."
He watched as Kalia ran away, tears leaking from her eyes.
"Wait! I'm sorry..."
-End Flashback: Age 17, 3 years after-
-"That was the last time I saw her."- Hiei thought -"Why am I even thinking about her?"-
"Hiei?" Kurama asked," Hiei?"
"WHAT?!" Hiei yelled.
"Sorry, Hiei, Koenma wants to see us, so lets go," Kurama said.
"Hn, fine," Hiei said, following the gang to Koenma's office.
When they got there, Koenma was in his teenage form and seemed serious. When he saw the guys, he had two girls follow him over. The taller one was slightly shorter than Kurama with white hair that went down to the middle of her back and dark green eyes. The shorter on had shoulder length black hair with white highlights and sapphire blue eyes. Her hair was tied up. The girls were obviously sisters, even with the drastic differents in their appearances.
Kurama and Hiei suddenly had a feeling of familiar presences.
"These two will be joining the team," Koenma said," This is K-"
"We can introduce ourselves," the shorter one said," I'm Karena and my sister is Nera."
Hiei felt he knew that voice, but he didn't know anyone named Karena.
"Okay, anyways," Koenma continued," Hiei, you will show Karena around and Kurama, you will show Nera around. I've done this by personality so you should get along well."
"Hn," Hiei and Karena said, then they turned to glare at each other.
Karena turned away first, to Hiei's surprise. Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Botan left.
"I'll show you your room first, okay?" Kurama said to Nera, sweetly.
"Sure," she answered.
They left, leaving Karena and Hiei alone.
"Hn, follow me," Hiei said.
He showed her to her room. It was all pink.
"Ugh," Karena said.
With a snap of her fingers the color scheme was changed to black.
"Thats better," Karena said, smiling for the first time.
Hiei blushed.
"What?" Karena asked, turning to him.
He didn't answer.
["What?" said a voice in Hiei's head.
Hiei looked shocked for a second then he had his emotionless expression back.
["You have a nice smile." he said.
Karena blushed, but turned away. Hiei smirked.
"Not as tough as you act are you, baka ona," Hiei said.
"Neither are you, oni," Karena said," Forbidden ones aren't all bad."
"You're forbidden?" Hiei asked.
"Lets just say, you've probably heard my story before," she said.
Hiei looked at her confused.
"Goodnight, Hiei," Karena said," We'll continue the tour tomorrow."
With that, she shoved him out the door.
That night was he sat his windowsill, he couldn't get Karena off his mind. He started to hear singing. The voice was nice. When he looked next door, he saw Karena at her balcony, singing. He jumped quietly onto her balcony. When she finished she stared out at the forest.
"You have a nice voice," Hiei said," It seems familiar."
"It should," Karena said," I mean...thanks, but we've never met before."
"Is there something you're not telling me?" Hiei asked.
"You'll find out soon enough," Karena sighed.
Hiei went and sat next to her. He put his hand on her cheek and made her face him.
"How will I find out?" Hiei asked her.
"Well, you could find out yourself, I'd tell you, or someone else will tell you," Karena replied.
"Alright, tomorrow we have a mission, so get some rest," Hiei said, taking her hand and helping her up.
"I'll see you tomorrow," he said and went back to his room.
