Hola, my name is Akyna (The author). I'll be talking to you before and after most chapters. I hope you like this story, I saw some of it in a dream I had…kinda funny I know, and thought of how I could extend it so that I could be a story, I thought long and hard and came up with this as a start. Enjoy.

"Go faster!" Hiei yelled at black outline he seemed to be chasing. Everything seemed to be vivid and offset.
"Just go, leave me here, I only slow you down," the shadowy figure responded in a childish voice. Oddly, the voice sounded more sorry of his slowness than scared of whatever they were running from...
"Shut up and keep going!" Hiei yelled.
A monster crashed through the trees behind them and swiped for the child. Hiei stood in its way with a sword and slashed at the giant beast, causing it to yell in pain. Hiei turned and ran after the child that had continued to run while Hiei was keeping the beast at bay. The monster remained in that part of the forest to nurse his wound, while Hiei and the child got away.
The two demons came upon a small abandoned village, they both decided that they could stay and rest, hoping they wouldn't be discovered, that the demon beast would pass them by.
Many hours had passed since they found the village.
They heard the demon pass by once and now were resting inside one of the houses, keeping very quiet and still. The child had fallen asleep shortly after arriving, tired and very worn.
He had fallen asleep in Hiei's lap, and Hiei was running his fingers through the child's hair. He was curious why this gesture didn't seem odd, but fatigue was taking over and he was slowly beginning to nod as well.
'Why am I here and what am I doing falling asleep; I should be listening for the demon…' Hiei thought. He then slowly drifted into sleep. In his dreams, as they seemed to fade by, he heard a loud crashing noise and snapped back into reality.
The demon had found their scent at the far end of the village and he was looking for the food that had escaped him before. The top of the house was suddenly ripped away, revealing their hiding spot. The demon reached for the child and before Hiei even had his wits about him, the child was unconscious in the demon claws.
As the demon began to move away, Hiei jumped up and ran after the huge creature. To Hiei, it looked like a cross between a giant bear and badger. He pulled his sword from the sheath in a flash and jumped into a tree after it. He leaped onto the demon's furry back and stabbed the sword into what he thought was the spine. The demon let out a startled and painful roar. He dropped the unconscious kid and collapsed into all four legs. Hiei leaped to the ground and jumped away from a swinging paw, skirted around the beast, picked up the kid and ran deeper into the forest knowing that he had to get away. He leaped into a tree and looked behind him to see if they were still being followed. The huge mass of fur was still lying on the ground in pain, and for the moment the two were safe where they were.
'How did I get myself into so much trouble?' Hiei questioned himself.
Carefully shaking the child, it seemed like a long moment before the kid's eyes flickered open. Hiei couldn't even distinguish what color the child's eyes were. "What happened?" he asked when he saw the child was awake.
"I don't know, it was so fast I don't know how it happened," the child mumbled groggily.
Hiei sighed relief and glanced back up to where the mass of fur had been, only to find the demon was gone. Even for a demon of such massive size, Hiei couldn't find him.
Then again the demon crashed through the trees, and Hiei picked up the injured child and jumped through the treetops.
"Let me go… I don't want you to get hurt, just leave me…" Hiei gave the child a silencing look but the child continued. "I don't understand what are you doing, let me go! You never cared about anything before?!" yelled the small child from Hiei's arms.
"What?" Hiei asked, and before his mind could register the child's comment, they were both falling through the midnight air. The branch they had been on knocked into oblivion by the giant bear demon. Hiei hit the ground hard, curious if anything was broken; he rose slowly and could feel his body ache, he shook his head from the shock. He then began searching for the child that escaped his arms as they were falling.
The demon seemed to be guarding the cliff, but Hiei's full attention was set to finding the missing child. The demon watched another moment, then laughed. It was a grating sound, more like a broken roar than laughter.
"You are foolish, you search for a thing you never wanted, and you want this world to be true, search your heart, demon, and tell me what you find there, for all I've found is ice," said the low grumble of the giant demon's voice.
"Help me!" called a voice from over the edge of the cliff.
Hiei heard the yell from over the cliff but watched the demon and allowed the words to sink into his head, it was exactly what his mind was saying to him, too. He was remembering his homeland, Koorime, and how he had seen his mother only once… he couldn't really remember her face…then he remember that he was cast out like a rat.
"Help!!" yelled the terrified voice again.
All thoughts dissipated except the one that still questioned what he was doing and Hiei sprang into action running towards the cliff. He skidded across the rocky ground and turned himself so that he could reach for the child hanging over the edge. Just as he reached over to grab him, the child slipped and fell into the abyss below.
The reality sank in quick and he felt tears well up in his eyes, "No!" he cried into the abyss, still recovering from the shock.
"Foolish demon, search your heart and you will find no warmth there, yet you feel pain over a thing you don't really care about. How foolish." The giant demon growled, stepping closer.
"Shut the hell up!" Hiei replied, stumbling into standing position. "You can't have any idea what I feel! I didn't want him to feel the pain I felt." In Hiei's mind he was confused… what did this all mean, he didn't even know the child's name, or believed he didn't, and yet his physical body was wracked with painful sobs.
The massive monster demon looked at the smaller youkai and laughed again, he raised his massive paw. Hiei stood still and let the attack come; he didn't have the energy to resist anymore. He didn't fight back, the child was gone and nothing seemed worth protecting more than that child, --at least his physical body said so, his mind was still lost in confusion about the scene that had just played out-- and now he was gone.
As Hiei laid in the darkness, he felt himself floating and a slight breeze rush by him. 'Search your heart demon, and tell me what you find there, for all I've found is ice…' Those words rang through his head like a broken record, they seemed so true. Even some of his own friends claimed that his heart was made of ice. It had never bothered him before now, though it was painful to remember.
'My heart's not made of ice…is it?' he thought desperately, his thoughts wandered to child he had tried to save…his child…he couldn't save him, or himself. 'You never cared about anything before?!' those were the words the small child with no name had yelled at him; they, too, hurt to hear.
"I'm sorry…I'm so sorry…I wasn't strong enough to save you…I lost you and I don't under stand. If this is a dream…why is it so real…why do I cry over your death…pity you…hate myself for letting you fall…," he said aloud, mostly to himself.
An airy voice on the wind that rushed past him called in a whispery tone, "Don't cry…please…I'm not very far away, you'll see me with your own eyes soon…so please…don't cry…"
Hiei listened for any other words of encouragement and then allowed those words to pierce the strong walls of his mind. A tear rolled down Hiei's face, "I won't cry anymore, find me soon…find me…Kobe."
What do think so far my sister thought it was interesting and I sort of plan on letting my mom read it so that she doesn't get all annoyed that I'm not doing anything weird, honestly. So r&r please tell me if it's too weird or if it needs something. .
