Hey guys, I'm back. So, this story idea came to me after watching Yu Yu Hakusho episode 99-100, where we get a load of Hiei's history. I've always wondered about Hiei's mom and what happened to her. Well, we know what happened to her, but the question that I have is how. So, I wrote this. Constructive criticism is welcome and flames will be used to roast marshmallows.

Title: Icy Escape

Summary: We know that Hiei's mom, Hina, committed suicide after Hiei was banished. But what were the events involving the woman that led up to her death?

Rating: T for swearing, violent dreams, and suicide scene.

Disclaimer: I do not own Hiei, Hiei's mom, Rui, Yukina, the Koorime, or anyone and anything in YYH. This fic, and the idea however, belongs to me. If you want to take anything from here, fine, but you must ask for permission FIRST!

Chapter One: Banishment.

"I'm begging you Rui, don't!" A tall woman wearing a blue robe, with hair cascading down to her back cried out in despair, as she struggled to break herself free of the women that were holding her back. Another woman, a stony faced elder just looked on.

"Please!" the woman cried, "I know what I did was wrong, and if you have to punish someone, punish me! Don't punish my son! I'm the one to blame for this!" But it was no use.

Rui, the woman in question, looked down at the bundle in her arms. It was a baby, the son of her best friend, Hina. Not too long ago, Hina broke a sacred code, and slept with a man, resulting in the birth of her little boy. This was seen as a serious crime among her people. Men were looked upon as monsters, and contact with such creatures was strictly forbidden.

Still, Hina disobeyed those orders. She was always one to go against the law for her own beliefs, and always followed her heart. As the elders would call it, she was reckless.

That was how she met him. What started off as fear and hate turned into something more. She grew to love that man, until one moonlit night they sealed their love by a lake in Demon World.

Then she found she was pregnant. With a little girl, that much was true. Hina's people had children through immaculate means. Every 100 years, a baby girl was born to a woman. Young Hina was both terrified and elated at the same time when she felt two life forms stirring inside of her.

So, she made a plan. When her children were born, she would flee the Glacial Village and go somewhere where she and her children would be safe. She had some money left over from when her mother died, they would be able to make it.

But, it was too late. When her son was born, it caused a huge uproar amongst the people. The elders decided only one thing was possible. As punishment, Hina would be confined to her home, placed under house arrest, with the exception of going out for food, clothing and walks. Her baby girl would be hers to keep, and her son cast out in exile, left to die in Demon World.

"Hina," an elder said, "You have most shamefully broken our most sacred laws. You are far too young to understand the crime you have committed. I am trying to save you from the horrors that men can bring."

"This is my sin," Hina cried, "Please don't punish my son for it."

Hina pleaded with the elders, going as far as to offer the idea of her leaving forever, taking her children with her. They would never have to see her or her son or her daughter again. Still, the elders held strong to their decision.

And now, she watched as her best friend held her son over the edge of a cliff.

"I beg of you, give him back!"

"Hina, silence yourself," the elder spoke harshly to the distraught woman, "Rui, I realize that this is difficult for you. But you must do this for her own good, as well as yours and ours. If we let this boy live, he will kill us all."

Right now, Rui hated the woman, and she was sure that Hina felt the same way. Rui never wanted to do such a task, but she had no choice. Going against orders was considered treason and punishable by death.

"I'm sorry," she quietly mumbled to the infant. The elder's eyes narrowed.

"Don't pity the beast." She snapped. Rui reached into her robes and pulled out a gem attached to a chain. She tucked it into the child's wrappings.

"Live," she said, "Live, and return so you can take revenge. And when you do, please kill me first. It's the least I can offer to atone for what I'm about to do."

She let go, and watched the baby fall to an unforgiving world below. Hina screamed louder and struggled harder.

"You killed my son!" She cried out. Those words would stay with Rui until her dying day.

Oh-kaaay, chapter one all finished. I tried to capture Hina's anger and sadness at the death of son, but seeing as how she has a very, very small role in the series (she's only seen like, once or twice) it wasn't an easy task. The elder's were easier. Not hard to write about a cold hearted bitch, no pun intended.

Let me tell you this though, if I were Hina, and that were my son about to be thrown off, there'd be some serious ass kicking going down.

The next chapter will be Hina mourning over her son, whom she believes to be dead, with the elder's rubbing it in her face on how it was the best thing for her.
