Chapter 1

Horrific meeting

She ran through the streets frantically looking for someone to help her.

"Please somebody help me!!!" she screamed through the streets.

When she would see someone they would avoid her or run away.

Her pale face and hand were covered in blood. Along with her short black skirt and red shirt .Her gray eyes contained complete and total fear.

She saw four boys running toward her. When they got near they asked her what was wrong.

She could not tell who they were her vision was blurry from crying. All she saw was one red head, one with orange hair, one with black hair and one that was shorter that the others.

"My parents…they're dead…they've been killed!" she turned and hug the shortest of all the guys since he was the one closest.

"Where do you live?" asked the one with black hair all greased back.

"In…in the old …t…temple." She said stuttering a bit.

"Hiei you stay here with her we'll be right back."

"NO!" she screamed

"Why what's wrong?"

"I think…t…the killer…m…might still be in there" she said in a small whisper

"Ok what is it you exactly saw?" asked the one orange haired guy.

Flashback

She had come home from the mall. Her mother had asked her to go buy herself new clothes since it was her birthday.

She opened the door and a rush of air hit her. It felt as if the home contained something completely evil and wrong. She set the bags down insecurely.

She tried to turn on the lights but the light bulb had been smashed.

She headed into the kitchen and grabbed a flashlight they kept in handy. As she walked around the Kitchen she slipped on something and fell backwards. When she looked at her hands she came to figure out it was newly spilled blood.

Her entire mind and body was filled in shock and horror. The blood was coming from the upstairs rooms. As she got up she heard a noise. Slowly she made her way up the stairs. When she reached her room she found that everything had been turned over. Her bed her computer smashed, the T.V. and radio had been smashed also. Panicked, she headed toward her mothers and fathers room which was two rooms down. She only feared the worse at the moment. The noise was still hearable. Something or someone was pounding on the wall. As she passed the bathroom she saw a hand inside the bathtub. She pointed the flashlight into the bathroom and saw that it was her father. His face was not even recognizable. He had been stabbed to death and the bathtub had overflowed with his blood and spilled down the stair.

She gasped and covered her mouth to keep from screaming tears already forming. She then kept following the noise. When she reached her parents room she slowly opened it she saw the noise was coming from her mother, who had been brutally beat and hanged. Her dangling feet kept hitting the wall making that pounding noise.

She recoiled in shock and did not want to believe that her worse fears had come true... Then the door of the guest room was opening slowly. She quickly got up and ran out the door screaming for help searching desperately for someone to help her.

End Flashback

She had explained everything with little detail.

"Ok then we'll go back and see if there is still anyone in there. You can stay here with Hiei. You'll be safe with him."

She nodded. Hiei and the girl were on the floor, she was crying and all he could do was hold her in comfort.

The other three guys left while Hiei stayed with the girl

Hiei hated to see a girl cry. He held her close to him comforting her while she cried her eyes out.

"The horrors she must have gone through damn those bastard demons!" He said in his mind

When she had stopped crying as much he finally summed up the will to ask her, her name.

"What is your name?" he asked trying to sound nice and not harsh like always. She wiped some tear away and looked up at him.

"My name is Vine Thorn" and more tears formed in her eyes and spilled like a waterfall.

"I'm Hiei Jaganashi" he reached her face and with his hand slightly whipped some tear away. Then he kissed her slightly on the forehead.

"Wait what the hell…IM not suppose to be like this" he thought in his head. "But then again I can't just do anything"

With the three other boys

They had reached the home of Vine. The door was open. The bags that Vine had brought home with her newly bought clothes were on the floor. The boys entered the home.

"Man it reeks of human blood." said the one with orange hair.

"Who could have done this Kurama?" asked the greaser.

"I don't know Yuskue… I just don't know" they walked more inside the home.

"Hey Kuwabara make your spirit sword so we can see a bit." asked Kurama.

"Uh sure." Said Kuwabara

He made his spirit sword and the room light up. There was blood on the floor dripping form the stairs. The boys could see were Vine had stepped in and were she had fallen.

They made their way up the stairs. The bathroom door was wide open and just like she had said her father was inside brutally murdered. His face seemed to be smashed in. They did not hear any noise. They opened each door looking for anyone who was inside. Yuskue reached her parents room and saw the lady hanging.

He hit the side of the door hard.

Kurama came over to Yuskue and saw the same thing.

"Who ever did this has no heart" said Kurama with a fury in his voice none of the boys had ever heard.

"Hey we missed a room!" said Kuwabara

Kurama and Yuskue walked over to the room which the door now was completely shut. They opened the door and no one was inside. This room seemed to be perfectly unharmed.

As they were about to leave the room Kurama saw some bloody footprints heading out the window.

"Hey Yuskue take a look at this. They don't seem to be ordinary human footprints."

Yuskue came closer and notice that the footprints belonged to a demon and one who had something against "This girl".

"WE have to call Koenma to check this out."

They all headed back to were Vine and Hiei were.

When they arrived they found the two asleep. Hiei woke up as soon as they got closer, but Vine remained fast asleep.

"Hn, what did you find?" asked Hiei being careful not to wake her.

"Her parents were killed by demons; they left bloody footprints all over the room they escaped in." said Yuskue

"Who ever did this must have something against her" Kurama looked deep in thought.

"I'm going to look up her file I want to see if I can find anything that connects her to demons." He said.

"Well in the mean while lets call Koenma to check this out before the human cops get here" said Kuwabara

Yuskue popped open his communicator and called Koenma

"What is it now Yuskue isn't it to late to be calling at this hour"
"Listen pacifier breath, a young girl parents have been killed by a demon, so were taking her in to spirit world"

"What? no you can't bring a mortal here at least not yet"

"Then were do you expect we take her, she has no place to go!"

"One of you has to take her to your home until we resolve this issue tomorrow"

"I'd take her to my home but my moms got some friends over" said Yuskue

"My mother is fast asleep I don't think id be able to explain all of this" said Kurama feeling completely ashamed

"I'll take her to my house!" said Kuwabara with a large grin on his face.

Everyone ignored him

"I'll take her to Yukina's house, I'll stay with her to make sure they're both safe." said Hiei picking the girl up bridal style and leaving in a blur.
