Disclaimer: I do not own YYH, just Miyuki. BTW for those who don't like the sexual scenes or are sensitive to that sort of thing I will give warnings and let you know where it starts and ends so you can skip those parts.

Chapter 1: Savior

Hiei chuckled to himself as he pulled his sword out of the fallen creature at this feet.

"He never stood a chance, poor fool."

As he continued to make his way through the forest, he heard a scream echo through.

It sounded to be a small human girl, but this wasn't unusual. There was a lot of illegal human trafficking in that part of the Maki, after all.

Not that it effected him.

But yet, he felt drawn to the scream, like something deep inside him wanted to save that weak little human girl. But even if he did, what would be the point? Her weak human body would give way to something else, soon anyway.

The scream erupted once again.

This time he couldn't help himself and with an act so unlike himself, Hiei broke out in a sprint towards the source of the screams.

When he arrived, he saw a small girl who couldn't be much older than 8 or 9.

Her plum colored hair that reached her mid back was full of twigs and dirt and her rose pink eyes shined with fear. She looked rough, like she had been here for a while. It was beyond him how she survived as long as she did.

The bore demon, that was not too far in front of her, charged at full force towards her.

She started to run but tripped over a large tree root growing out of the ground.

Without thinking about his actions, he swooped the girl up in his arms and laid her down on a high branch.

Once she was out of harm's way, Hiei cut the bore demon down with one swift cut. He sheathed his sword and turned to leave.

"Wait!" He turned to see the little girl crawling down from the tree and running over to him.

"Where are you going, Mr?"

"That's none of your concern, baka-onna."

"Can I come with you?" She persisted.

"If I won't let you in on where I'm going, then what makes you think that I would take you with me?"

"Because you saved me. It would be pretty silly to save me from one demon just to leave me to be killed by another one," She replied, giggling.

"How long have you been here?" Hiei asked, ignoring her previous checkmate.

She stayed silent for moment, then answered, "A month."

Hiei could barely contain his shock. She looked like she'd been there a week, tops, if that. Her yellow floral dress was mostly in one piece and she only and a few minor cuts and bruises.

She must have stayed low and avoided the demon that inhabited. Even so how she made it this long in the Makai as young and fragile and as human as she was, he couldn't comprehend.

"Then you hardly need my help to make it back home."

"But... I don't have a home. My parents sold me to those scarey demons, they didn't even need the money, so obviously they didn't want me. They thought I was bad because I can do things that others can't," She explained, looking down at her small hands.

Hiei understood that all too well. Not being wanted, being all alone to fend for yourself. And, much like him, she was a survivor. But she wasn't strong like him, she was a weak fragile human girl. She, no doubt, wouldn't last much longer.

But that wasn't his matter, he could care less.

He began to walk away once again.

"Can I come with you?" She insisted, "Please, I don't have anywhere to go and I-I.. I'm scarred."

"And why would I care about that?" He asked, glancing back at her.

"Please! I would be forever in depted to you! I will do my part, I won't be a burden!" She begged once more, "I'm not asking for a family, but I don't want to be alone here." Tears poured from her eyes dropping onto the dry clay below her.

"Very well, but if start becoming dead weight, I will kill you myself," He said and started walking.

She whipped her tears and her sleeve and ran to catch up with him.

"So what's your name, Mr?"

"Hiei."

"I'm Miyuki! Miyuki Saikaku, and I'm 9 years old."

After a couple minutes of silence she added, "You don't talk much, do you?"

"No. And if you value your life, neither will you."

And that's how it was for the next 3 years.

Okay, this is the end of the first chapter. Let me know what you think. (:
