The Three Families : Jaganshi Family
A/N: Hey guys! Oh man, I got a mother of a story right here! Please read and review! Um, that's pretty much it for now. By the way, this is kinda AU, because I mean, it's about crime families. But it's still HB and it has all the Yu Yu Hakusho characters! Woot!
I
"Thank you, thank you so much for excepting me into the family."
A red haired man was on his knees, and his Irish accent was so alluring that the Boss himself found it interesting. The Second in Command looked at the man on the ground, kissing the Boss's rings. His emerald eyes shimmered. He was pleased that the Boss took the man into the Family.
"Get off of the floor."
The man jumped up energetically. He was young.
"Yes, sir!"
The Boss smirked, raising an eyebrow and stealing a glance from his Second in Command.
"Don't call me sir." The young man fell silent and nodded, swallowing some saliva. "Kurama, show him around." The Boss stood and looked back at his Second in Command, who was leading the new inductee away. "Make sure Jin feels at home."
Kurama bowed his head slightly, his red locks falling in front of his face.
"Of course." The Boss nodded and walked out of his house. That was when he heard his Second in Command call after him. "Where are you going?"
The short black haired man stopped, his black overcoat stopping.
"The Library."

"Listen, if you want Kuwabara to win his trial, use Koenma! He's ours! Plus, him and me go way back, trust me, this guy is good!"
The Boss let his Consigliere, or Advisor, keep talking, as long as he kept his eyes on the road.
"Hn. I know. How much does he want?"
The Advisor gritted his teeth.
"Three hundred thousand."
The Boss crossed his arms.
"Koenma is getting too greedy. Tell him two hundred and fifty will do fine."
The Advisor looked at his Boss. He smiled at him.
"Good thinking." A pause. The Advisor pulled into a parking space near the Library. The Consigliere got out of the car and opened the door for the Boss. "Do you want me to come in with you?"
The Boss got out, adjusting his jacket.
"Do what you want. Don't open the door for me again." His Advisor looked a bit taken aback, and the Boss smirked, letting him know that everything was okay. "Just don't do it again."
His advisor rolled his eyes and pulled out a cigarette.
"Sure. You got it."
Hiei nodded curtly, and turned once before going into the Library.
"Yusuke." The Advisor looked up. "Those will kill you, you know."
Yusuke stuck out his tongue, making the Boss shake his head as he walked inside.

The Library smelled good. The librarians had various scented candles, but it was the smell of old books that made the Boss feel at home. He walked and saw two women at the front desk. They both had blue hair, and they were both beautiful. Only one was his concern.
Yukina.
She was a woman now. She was the head librarian. He smiled a bit when he saw her looking through files, her brow furrowed with concentration. The Boss finally reached the desk and the other woman looked up, her pink eyes widening with curiosity, and then she snapped to attention like a solider.
"Good morning, sir!" She smiled cheerily, and the Boss found it annoying. "What may we help you with?"
Yukina looked up at her co-worker and then to the man in front of her. She blinked and then smiled faintly.
"Hiei, it's good to see you again." She smiled and bowed her head slightly. "Do you need me to show you around?"
Hiei shook his head, his long raven bangs tickling his forehead.
"No." He paused, as if remembering something, and then frowned, his crimson eyes narrowing. "Here." He pulled a brilliant bouquet of flowers seemingly out of nowhere. Yukina's eyes widened and the girl beside her clasped her hands together, sighing dreamily. "These are from Kuwabara."
Yukina blinked.
"Kazuma?" Hiei nodded, not wanting to meet her in the eye. "Is he okay? He hasn't been around in a while."
Hiei blinked.
"He's just sick." He paused before leaving. "I still stand by what I say."
Yukina frowned.
"And I still stand by my words."
Hiei clenched his fists.
"He's not good enough for you."
Yukina became ice cold.
"I love him, and he loves me! In my eyes that makes him worth everything to me!"
The tension made the other woman a bit nervous, and she began to play with a blue curl. That was when Hiei nodded and then walked off. Yukina bit her lip, but smiled.
The Boss went into the non fiction section and picked some books out. The Revolutionary War, Napoleon Bonaparte, and the Renaissance. He sat down at a wooden table and began to read. The sunlight poured through a window, capturing him in a perfect picture. The dust floated through the beam, and it cast just the right shadows on him. He looked so gentle, intelligent, but dark. His eyes focused on the words, but even that could not stop a spectator from shivering.
All was quiet. All was good. That was until Hiei heard a chair scrape against the floor across from him. He looked up to see a scarred face. A single brown eye stared at him, the other behind a black patch. Brown hair fell just above their shoulders. The Boss glared at her.
"Mukuro."
"Hiei."
He leaned back in his chair.
"What do you want?"
IV
Kurama and Jin walked throughout New York City. They spoke of the guidelines of being in the Jaganshi Family. That was when Kurama got a call on his cell phone.
"Kurama!"
The red haired man heard the voice of Yusuke.
"Yusuke, what is it?"
Jin heard the alertness in the Consigliere's voice and he stiffened.
"Mukuro just walked into the Library. Something might go down!"
Kurama's eyes became intense.
"Got it." He shut the phone and looked over at the new member. Solider Jin. He smiled at the Irish man. "What do you know, you've got your first assignment."
Jin's eyes widened and he grinned broadly.
"What is it?"

Yukina saw big men come into the Library. She became a bit nervous. She didn't like the way they looked. Their faces were blunt and you could tell that their noses had been broken quiet a number of times.
"Hey there." Yukina grimaced at his greasy voice. "Where's the non fiction section?"
Yukina felt her heart beat faster. The non fiction section... Hiei's there! Something was off about them. She smiled charmingly.
"Of course, but I'm a little busy. I'll get my assistant for you, okay?"
The leader of the men grumbled, but he nodded. Yukina disappeared in the back, the storage room. She saw the young woman reading a fiction novel by Stephen King. Firestarter was the title. Yukina knelt down beside her assistant. Her close friend.
"Botan?" The girl looked up. "I need you to do me a favor."
The girl sensed something was wrong. Her friend's voice shook.
"Sure. What is it?"
Yukina whispered.
"I need you to take some men up front to the thriller section. They want the non fiction section, but stall them as long as you can." She took a deep breath and tried to stop herself from crying. "Do you understand me?"
Botan nodded, her blue pony tail bobbing up and down. She bit her lip and stood.
"Do what you have to do, Yukina. I can distract them."
VI
"Are things going well with your Family?"
Hiei held his head up high.
"Fine."
The woman laughed. Her voice was cold and flat. He hated her.
"And now you think you are more powerful than me." She looked at him with a piercing and yet mocking gaze. "For such a little man, you sure are confident of yourself." She took a long breath. "Shorty." Hiei stood abruptly and his chair clattered to the floor. Mukuro smiled dryly. "You didn't honestly think that you could take down the Makai Family, did you?"
Hiei saw her pull out a pistol. It was silver and the sunlight sent a gleam off of it. His eyes widened, and she aimed at his chest. That was when they heard a scream, both of them looking away.
"Bitch! You bitch!"
Hiei saw a figure sprawl out onto the floor, her blue hair falling over her face. His heart stopped for a long moment. Yukina... NO! To his great relief, it was not her. It was the annoying assistant. She looked up, a nasty bruise on her cheek. She stood up, glaring at someone that Hiei could not see.
That was when another voice brought Mukuro and Hiei's attention elsewhere.
"Hiei, quick you need to–"
Hiei felt his shoulders slump when he heard Yukina's voice behind him. He didn't dare turn around, his eyes still glued to Mukuro. She looked over at Yukina and frowned.
"Girlfriend?"
Hiei shook his head.
"Never. I don't do relationships." His eyes burned through hers. "No woman could please me." His eyes narrowed. "Ever."
Mukuro took in a quick breath and her eyes became wild with fury, scarlet staining her cheeks. In one smooth motion, her arm moved down and the pistol fired. Yukina screamed. Hiei collapsed to the ground. Mukuro seethed. Botan ran.
Blood poured out of Hiei's leg. He winced but did not make a sound. That was when he heard a crack of a whip. His entire body slackened. About time, Kurama.
Mukuro's hand began to bleed, her gun dropping to the ground. Yukina looked behind her to see a beautiful man stalk forward, a long thin whip in his hand. His red hair flowed down his shoulders and his green eyes shimmered in the sunlight. Mukuro went to pick up the gun, but she stopped when she heard the crack of the whip.
"Don't." She looked up at the Second in Command. "Next time your hand will not survive." She glared at the man, but she backed away. "Now leave."
She turned to find her henchmen, but only saw the blue haired woman. She was crawling, blood spilling out of her mouth. Her pink eyes were glazed over and then she fainted. Mukuro saw a red haired Irishmen run to her, gun in hand. She knew her Soldiers were dead.
She left out the door, hiding her hand in the sleeve of her jacket.

"Are you okay, Hiei?"
Kurama helped the Boss to his feet. He hissed as he tried to use his weak leg.
"I'm fine. Get me out of here."
A sound stopped them both. It was the sound of a woman breathing fast. Out of control. The two men turned to see Yukina. Her face was pale and she was clutching her stomach. She probably felt sick.
"You... you..."
Hiei didn't let his face betray his breaking heart.
"Yukina..."
He reached out to her, but she flinched away from him.
"Don't!"
A silence fell over them. Kurama knew about this particular situation. That was when an Irish voice rang out.
"Kurama!" The Second in Command looked up. "Kurama come here!"
The Consigliere looked at Yukina.
"Excuse me, ma'am?" She looked up. "I have to go, just for a second. Could you take him?"
She didn't have time to answer when Hiei was in her arms, Kurama jogging down the aisles.

"What is it, Jin?"
The Solider looked up at him with green eyes.
"I think she's dyin!"
Kurama looked down at the woman who was face down in a puddle of her own blood. He knelt down beside her and felt her ribs. All good. Her back. All good. He moved her onto her back and then sat her up.
Blood dried around her mouth, and when Kurama felt her face he found that it was hot. He frowned.
"Get Yusuke!"
Jin nodded and sprinted off. Kurama felt her arms, her stomach, her legs. Her left arm was broken. Badly. Some bones were sticking out. He picked her up and moved so he was walking back towards Hiei and Yukina.
He laid the girl on the table, and when Yukina saw her, she screamed.
"BOTAN!" The librarian left Hiei and ran to her best friend. She sobbed as she looked at the pale face of the woman. Her skin was clammy and blood stained her white shirt and brown skirt. Yukina held Botan's hand and pressed her lips to it. "Botan... oh God..."
Kurama helped Hiei into a chair.
"She's hurt badly. She needs immediate attention."
Hiei crossed his arms, still acting like he didn't have a hole going through his leg.
"So?"
They both saw Yukina stiffen with anger. She turned, her once kind face now covered in tears. She walked up to Hiei, shaking. She looked sad, enraged, and terrified. The librarian slapped the Boss. Hard. She didn't raise her soft voice.
"How dare you...!" She looked into the eyes of Hiei. "She was innocent and she got dragged into all of this! The least she deserves is some help!"
Hiei felt his heart clench. It was his fault, and now Yukina was mad at him. She has no idea what she means to me... how she hurts me...
"If I may say something, I can help her." They both looked at Kurama, who brushed some hair off of his shoulders. "You know that yourself, I'm the best doctor around."
Hiei scowled.
"We can't bring her with us!"
Yukina grabbed his collar, hating how she was acting, but she couldn't help it.
"Yes you can!"
Hiei glared at Yukina. Yukina glared at Hiei. They must have stood there for an entire minute.
"Fine." He threw up his arms. "FINE!"
That was when they heard a blunt voice behind them.
"Shit... Hiei... you need to clean this up."
Yusuke looked at the scene with wide brown eyes. Hiei was helped up with Kurama, and Jin was directed to carry Botan. The raven haired man patted Yusuke on the shoulder when he passed him.
"No, you do."
Yusuke raked his fingers through his hair.
"Hiei, come ON!"
The Boss kept walking.
"Do it! Now!"
Yusuke growled.
"Send me some Soldiers!"
Hiei, Kurama, Jin, and Botan were gone. Yusuke was left with a nauseous and distressed Librarian. He turned to her.
"Listen to me if you want all this to go away." She looked at him, her eyes distant. "Make the Library closed. After that, go to the bathroom. Wash your face. Vomit, you probably have to, and then drink some water."
Yukina trembled.
"O-okay."
Yusuke nodded curtly and patted her shoulder.
"Good girl."
IX
The girl moaned in the car. Jin held her head in his lap.
"Hurry up, Kurama!"
Hiei looked back at his new Solider.
"Quiet, Jin!"
The car was silent after that, other than some sounds from the girl called Botan. Kurama was on the phone, sending a Capo and his crew down the Library.
They drove and drove. Kurama directed Jin to help stop the bleeding and possibly prevent her from going into shock. They had to get out of the city. They had to get to a safe house. They came to a small ranch house. It was ugly, but it worked for what they needed.
Hiei was helped into the door and they rang the doorbell. A voice was heard from inside.
"Coming!" Kurama rang the doorbell again. "I said I'm coming, mate!" A tall man threw open the door, but when he saw Kurama his face fell. "Oh come on, what do you want?"
Hiei looked up into the face of Chuu, an Associate.
"We need your house." Chuu didn't move out of the doorway. "Now."
