It was quiet in Tokyo and one by one the lights in the human households were going out, it was time for the not so human creatures in the

Ningenkai to come out to play. On cue a small almost unnoticeable shadow shot from a small deserted alleyway and zigzagged to the darker

parts of the street avoiding any light the shadow seemed to blur in its haste. If you had the eyes of a demon maybe you would make the

features of the shadow out, you'd see his small stature and black clothes, pale skin framing eyes the colour of blood, hair that stood like a

black flame with its white starburst at the front. A white bandanna and white bandages could also be seen if you looked really closely.

The small boy was actually a demon, an s class fire demon known to all as Hiei. Something was happening and the small fire thief was

not impressed his sixth senses were tingling and it was just his luck these senses were nearly always right. The toddler from hell

had actually warned Hiei not to do anything stupid as there were strange presences in the city that seemed to be honing in on

demons residing there, it only became a worry once Suzuka was attacked on his way back to Genkai's temple. It had taken three

days, four search parties and sixteen very pissed off demons to finally find the vain demon curled up on a tree branch eyes wide

and his body littered in scratches. Needless to say the rest of the demons who spent a large amount of time in the Ningenkai made

a point of going around in pairs just in case. After a week of being forced to spend time with Kurama (which he didn't mind) and then

time with Jin and Touya while Kurama was at school (which he really did mind) Hiei had reached the end of his fairly short tether, or

dynamite fuse as a certain detective jokingly called it. Quite happily he had slipped past Jin and Touya who were watching some horror

movie and were quite enthralled with the fake effects (there was some girlish shrieking from them every now and then as well) making

it fairly easy for the fire demon to hop out the window and onto the streets. Now here he was wondering the empty streets hoping for

something interesting to happen that hopefully wouldn't involving tingling sixth senses. It was typical Hiei thought as he rounded the

corner that the fun he had been imagining would actually turn out to be quite irritating to say the least. The air seemed to crackle and

Hiei scowled the lavender eye on his forehead glowing eerily under the spotless bandanna, something was tearing the dimensions then

slipping through before supposedly fixing them again. In front of his normal wine red eyes a tall cloaked figure appeared with an audible

pop that echoed in the demons sensitive ears, the man or woman was swathed in black with a skull like mask tied over his face so dark

stormy blue eyes were all that could be seen. Slowly Hiei cocked his head an audible growl slipping from his throat as the small demon

back-pedalled fiery eyes narrowing with impatience and slight hesitation on whether the man in front of him came under Koenmas 'don't

kill any humans law'. With a smooth noise a katana was pulled from its sheath well like the detective always said fight first ask questions

(no matter how stupid) later. The man slowly pulled a pale hand from his pocket the pale skinny hand was holding what looked very

much like a twig. Hiei snorted derisively and blinked looking at the man his head cocked. The katana was brought up in a defensive stance

inviting the man to attack, he figured if the stupid ningen attacked him, he could maybe break some bones and get away with it without

the stupid toddler having a fit at him and threaten to lock him up for the seventh time this month. The man seemed to sneer (it was

difficult to tell with the stupid mask) before raising the twig and shouting out.

"Expelliarmus!" the cloaked man bellowed in some garbled language and in a stupid accent, Hiei gave a small almost inaudible yelp

of surprise as with a sickening crack the sword clattered to the ground, the fire demon stared at his wrist which was bent back at a

strangle ankle, on the bright side Hiei thought at least the bone hadn't broken through the skin, he prodded it experimentally and a

hiss of pain escaped his throat. Gingerly he tucked his arm inside of his cloak and let the tight chest area of the cloak support his arm.

Finally he looked back up eyes narrowed as his youkai instincts went through his memories and found the language the ningen was

speaking: English.

"I've found one of them! Quickly!" Hiei groaned it was way too late to be putting up with human idiots especially as it took him a few

seconds to decipher what they were saying. Excellent the idiot in front of him had managed (somehow) to injure him (luck most likely)

and leave him slightly defenceless, only slightly though Hiei smirked grapping the Katana in his left hand and resheathing it if the worst

came to the worst he had two options: 1) Kokuryuu the ningen ass back to England and possibly get locked up for it or 2) run that would

suck, plus he would get teased for it for ages which would really suck now then which was the better option. While Hiei was still deciding

the man in front of him flicked the twig…the stick….the…well whatever and invisible ropes seemed to hold the small thief down, Hiei struggled

feeling his Youkai been drained by the ropes before he finally managed to break free cursing at the amount of energy he had lost in such

a small amount of time, closing his eyes the same conclusion came back for the third time; this sucked. With more crackles and ripping off

dimensions then the annoying pops that hurt Hiei's ears another six men joined the first. All wearing the stupid skull masks which made

them look like some unnameable type of low class demon, or the stupid ningen on Halloween, yet another question to ponder later the

first one with the cold almost colourless blue…what was the name…English really sucks Hiei thought ah grey! That was it! Anyway the first

man with the cold grey eyes cleared his throat and talked, shame he thought he had power over a demon it was hilarious really . "Now then

demon bow down and we'll take you to our lord without hurting you too badly." he sneered as the rest of the group drew their….sticks? Or

twigs…well either way they raised them. The fire demon sighed what was the world coming to? Hiei Jaganshi s-class demon was being attacked

by seven ningen with sticks, how embarrassing although he supposed it would make an excellent tale to tell later if he ever got over the fact

he was being threatened by stick wielding idiots that possibly held a strong mental capacity resemblance to Kuwabara. No, they were dumber

than Kuwabara that idiot actually knew where the line was when annoying a demon. The fire demon finally spoke out garnet eyes narrowing harshly.

"You seriously expect I will bow down? To you of all people? Good luck with that, I'm sure your lord wouldn't like me to kill you so I would leave

if you have any brains at all in those thick ningen skulls." with a derisive snort Hiei flash stepped (A/N yes this is stolen from bleach XD whatever

its very similar yes?) away landing on the roofs before continuing towards what he guessed was Yusukes energy signature, the detective was not

going to be happy with this discovery. The demons were being forced to go around in groups for safety because of some humans with sticks, brilliant.
