"Bye Mom. I'm leaving for school." I said walking outside my house.

"Bye Kara." Mom said watching me leave.

I saw Yukina walking to school with Kuwabara and Yusuke.

"Hi Yukina," I said walking up to her.

"Hi Kara." She said smiling at me.

"Hi Kara," Yusuke and kuwabara both said to me.

"Hi Yusuke. Hi Kuwabara." I said smiling at my two ther friends.

We had gone to school where we met up with Keiko.

"Hi Kara," Keiko said smiling at me.

"Hi Keiko," I said returning the smile.

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

Hiei was watching us from a distance.

Kurama was with him.

"Why don't you try to talk to Kara? She likes you."

"Maybe someday I'll tell her how I feel," Hiei said looking at Kurama.

"Okay," Kurama said smiling at hiei.

But for now, I want to watch her from a distance.

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

School had ended early that day for me, because I had to go home to take care of my little brother whle mom was at work.

While I was walking home I felt an evil presence behind me.

I looked back and saw this creature with white hair.

It had fangs. So it looked like a werewolf to me.

It jumped towards me.

"Ahhh!" I screamed backing away.

"Kara!" Hiei yelled my name while jumping in front of me.

"Hiei?" I asked seeing him in front of me. "What's going on?"

"Stay back. I don't want you to get hurt," Hiei said pulling his sword out.

"Okay," I said backing away from him.

"I won't let you near her. I'm going to send you back to where you belong. Hell." Hiei said getting ready to strike.

The demon went to slash at Hiei.

The claws had slashed across his chest.

"Hiei!" I yelled as tears filled my eyes.

The next second Hiei was behind the werewolf and slashed his sword across the monter's neck, cutting his head off.

Hiei walked towards me and reached his hand towards my throat.

When he touched it, I squinted in pain.

When he pulled his hand away, I saw blood on his fingers.

"Are you okay " I asked looking at him.

"This blood is from your neck." Hiei said looking at me.

"What?" I asked placing my hand on my neck.

I saw blood on my hand when I pulled it away.

I'll take you to Genkai's temple." He paused saying, "you'll be safe there."

"Okay," I said walking with him.

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

Hiei bandaged my neck the best he could with the bandages he had.

We walked to Genkai's temple.

"Genkia?" Hiei askedwalking into her temple.

"What's wrong Hiei?" She paused then asked seeing me, "Kara? What happened?"

"She was attacked by a demon walking home," Hiei said.

"Are you okay?" Genkai asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It only scratched my neck." I said placing my hand on my neck.

I looked towards Hiei and asked, "will you go and check on Shota for me? I left school early to go and take care of him. He has the flu."

"Sure," Hiei said leaving.

"Thank you, Hiei." I said smiling at him.

Hiei returned the smile and left to go and take care of my brother.

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

Hiei got to my house just in time to see my mom leaving for work.

"Hi Hiei," Mom said.

"Hello Ma'am," Hiei said back. "I came by to see how Shota was doing."

"He's sleeping. I gave him his madicine." She paused saying, "Kara should be coming home any minute. I have to get to work."

"That's why I've stopped by. She's at Genkai's temple."

"Why?" Mom asked.

"She was attacked by a werewolf." He paused then said, "I saved her from any danger she had. The only injury she got was a small cut across her neck."

"Is she okay?" Mom asked.

"She's fine now." Hiei paused then said, "if you want. I'll take Shota to Genkai's temple or I'll stay here to watch over him."

"Are you able to move him without having him get any sicker?" Mom asked.

"Yeah," Hiei said.

"Take him to Genkai's. I'll come by after work to see how they are doing."

"Okay," Hiei said bowing towards Mom.

"Thank you so much, Hiei."

"You're welcome, ma'am." Hiei said bowing again.

Mom left for work while Hiei took Shota to Genkai's temple.

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

When Hiei returned with Shota, he didn't see me with Genkai.

"Where's Kara, Genkai?" Hiei asked.

"She's resting in the next room. She came down with a high fever. I gave her some medicine for her throat and her fever."

Hiei looked into the next room and saw me laying down covered up with a towel laying over my head.

He had laid my brother down next to me and covered him up. He laid a wet towel across his forehead.

He looked back towards me then left.

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

Yukina came back to Genkai's temple with Yusuke and Kuwabara.

She looked in and saw me slepping with a wet towel on my forehead. She looked and saw my neck bandaged up.

Yusuke and Kuwabara had also seen how I was.

"Kara" Yusuke asked my name. "What happened to her Grandma?" He asked looking at Genkai.

"She was attacked by a demon walking home. hiei saved her abd brought her here. Then he brought Shota here. She was going home to look after him because he has the flu."

"I see," Yusuke said.

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

I woke up a few hours later.

"Where am I?" I asked then remebered Hiei brought me to Genkai's temple. I looked next to me and saw Shota.

"Hiei brought him here. Thank you, Hiei."

"Kara, you're awake." Yukina said smiling at me.

"Yeah," I said smiling back at her. "How long was I asleep?"

"Genkai said you've been asleep for five hours."

"Wow," I said.

It felt like I slept for two hours.

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

Hiei smiled in the trees when he saw I had woken up.

"I'm glad she's okay now."

Kurama saw Hiei leave and smiled.

"Those two love eachoter. It's plain to see in their eyes. Kara thinks of Hiei as her prince. And Hiei thinks of Kara as his lady."

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

"Kara?" Mom asked walking up to me, "are you okay now?"

"Yeah. I'm fine now, Mom." I said smiling at her.

"Good. I'm glad." Mom said smiling.

She looked towards Shota and smiled when she saw he was awake.

"Hi, Mom. Hi, Kara." He said smiling at us.

"Hi Shota." Mom and I both said to him.

"Are you feeling better?" I asked my brother.

"Yeah, much better." He said looking at me.

"Are you guys ready to go home now?" Mom asked us.

"Yeah, I just wanted to see if I missed any notes in my classes." I said getting up.

I went to go and find Yukina and the others to ask if I had missed anything important in my classes.

They gave me their notes they took today.

"I'll give them back tomorrow. Thanks you guys."

"we'll see you tomorrow Kara." Yukina said.

"Okay," I said leaving.

I saw Kurama and Genkai talking.

I went up to them.

"Genkai," I paused then said while bowing towards her, "thank you. For letting me stay here today. Bye Kurama." I said smiling at him.

"Bye Kara. We'll see you later." Kurama said returning the smile.

I ran to my mom after waving bye to everyone.

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

Hiei was smiling at seeing my brother and I feeling better.

"they're both okay now. I'm glad."

Hiei watched us until we were out of sight. Then he left to go and see the others.

"It's a good thing you were there to help Kara," Genkai said looking at Hiei.

Kurama smiled saying, "Hiei would do anything for his lady."

"Kurama!" Hiei yelled. "I don't know how she thinks of me. So don't jupm to conclusions."

Genkai smiled when she saw Hiei blush.

"She likes you a lot Hiei." Genkai paused saying, "why would she put her younger brother's care in your hands if she didn't like and trust you?"

Hiei looked at Genkai.

She smiled at him.

Hiei returned the smile and left.
