Hello all, this is my newest fic, REDONE. I had to fix all my silly writing errors (I wrote this a while ago, and I made many amateur mistakes..) Also, this fic is AU.

DISCLAIMER: Do I have to say it? I do? Oh, okay. To my supreme disappointment ( Ooooooh! Big words!) I don't own Yu Yu Hakasho, but I do own the girl whose name you wont know till the next chapter!! D

Chapter 1

Hiei walked slowly down the street, eye's cast upward at the crystal blue sky above him. He was bored. He had absolutely nothing to do with his free time. It had been a week, and Koenma hadn't assigned the spirit detectives a single new mission. The only reason he was still in the Ningenkai was to keep an eye on Yukina. Kuwabara had been spending a lot of time with her lately, and he didn't like it at all. As he absentmindedly kicked an empty can around, he felt something.

He could sense an unfamiliar ki growing weaker and weaker by the second. Out of sheer curiosity he decided to follow it to it's source. As he walked down a deserted alley, his eyes widened in shock. On the ground, lay a small female youkai. She had shoulder length wavy blonde hair, with red streaks in it. She had ears similar to Juri's, only hers were red. She also had a long, thin red tale with a sharp red spike on the end. In her left hand she clutched a sword, covered in blood. Her clothes looked old a dirty, and there was a huge gash in her right side. A pool of blood surrounded her slim figure. Hiei knelt down next to her and checked her pulse. She was alive, but just barely. Usually, Hiei would leave a demon as injured as her to die, but for some odd reason he decided to help her. So he gently picked her up an jumped to the top of a nearby building.

He checked his surroundings. He was near Genkai's temple, which meant he could get Yukina to heal her. He disappeared from the roof top, and proceeded to another, making his way towards the temple. He quickly ran up the many steps and pushed open the heavy front doors. Yukina, who was carrying a tea tray, dropped it to the ground, astonished.

"Oh my! Hiei-san, is she okay?" Yukina asked, stepping over the broken tea pot to the two standing in her doorway.

"Hn. I found her in an alley. She has a deep wound in her right side, can you heal her?"

Yukina nodded, and motioned for him to follow her into the next room. He gently set the girl on the futon, and stepped back so Yukina could work. She pushed back the sleeves of her sky blue kimono, and placed her hand over her patient's right side. Blue light was emitted from her hands as she concentrated. The wound stopped bleeding, and it started to heal itself. Yukina was about to start on her other minor injuries, but she fell backwards, into the strong arms of Kuwabara.

"Yukina-chan!" he panicked, scooping her up into his arms. "Hiei, you bastard! What the hell happened to her?!" he noticed the girl on the bed, who was now sleeping soundly. "Who is she?"

"I found her bleeding to death in an alleyway. I brought her here so Yukina could heal her." he responded, crossing his arms.

"He's right Kuwabara-kun." Kuwabara looked down to see Yukina slowly opening her ruby eyes. "I was healing one of her wounds, but I put to much energy into it, so now I'm exhausted"

"Don't worry Yukina, I'll dress her other wounds. Kuwabara, take her to her room so she can rest." Hiei said sternly.

"Arigato Hiei-san" she whispered closing her eyes. Kuwabara set his gaze on the pretty ice Koorime in his arms. "You heard me, baka! Take her to her room so she can rest! And don't get any funny ideas!" Hiei snarled, fingering the hilt of his katana.

Kuwabara sweat dropped nervously. " Alright! Alright! Jeesh, don't get you undies in a bunch!" He quickly left the room, muttering about Hiei being one of 'Satan's evil midget minions from hell'.

Hiei rolled his eyes and picked up a piece of gauze that was lying on the girls bedside table. Slowly and carefully, he wrapped the clothe around her bleeding arm. As he tied a knot, he noticed that she was shivering. Without giving it a second thought, he took off his long black cloak, and tucked it around the girls' cold body. 'Now why did I do that?' Hiei wondered to himself. 'I know for a fact that their are plenty of blankets in this temple, so why did I give her my cloak?' Hiei shrugged the thought off, and sat in a chair on the opposite side of the room.

Sweat trickled down the girls brow, as she struggled in her sleep. 'I wonder what she is dreaming about...' Hiei pondered silently. 'Maybe I should take a quick peek. No! That would be invading her privacy! Oh hell, that's never stopped me before. If I wanna know what happened to her than I have to! Even if she found out what I did she couldn't do any thing, she's just a little girl!' Hiei smirked with satisfaction, and took of the white bandanna that concealed his Jagan. He walked over to the young youkai, and lightly placed his palm on her forehead. His third eye glowed purple as he shut his two normal eyes. The room started spinning, and all the furniture faded away, as the scenery changed to a dark forest.

Hiei fell to the ground, but landed on his feet. Tall menacing trees loomed over him as he listened to the sounds of the night. He recognized this place at once. He was in the Makai. He was about to look around, when a dark figure stepped out from the shadows. The black clad creature walked forward, and placed something on the ground. It looked down, and harshly nudged the bundle with his foot. The thing on the ground let out a whimper, and then started to cry. Hiei could hear the sound of wolf demons howling in the distance. They had heard the cry.

The tall figure also heard the howling, and quickly ran into the woods. When the coat was clear, Hiei jumped down from the tree he was hiding in and made his way over to the bundle. He knelt down to see what was inside. Starring back at him was the face of a baby girl. She had large aqua eyes, and red demon ears. She instantly stopped crying.

'It seems as though she can see me' Hiei thought. 'How is that possible? I'm in her dream, she is not suppose to see me!' she reached up to Hiei's face giggling. She wrapped her tiny hand around one of his fingers. Hiei allowed himself to smile a little at the kawaii girl.

He stood up. Behind him he could here the bushes rustling. His was about to unsheathe his sword, when he remembered he was in a flashback, and he couldn't change it. A man emerged from the darkness. He had orange hair, only the two strands that hung separately were blood red. His large eyes were violet. Hiei gaped at the approaching demon. He recognized him from somewhere. Then it hit him. The demon was none other than Suzaku, leader of the saint beasts. A while back, Suzaku opened a portal from demon world to human world, and let loose Makai insects. The Makai insects took residence in every depressed person they could find, turning them into low class demons. Suzaku used a whistle to control them, and made them go after Keiko. Fortunately, Yusuke killed him before Keiko was harmed. Or at least he thought he killed him…

Suzaku picked up the now crying baby, and carried her out of the deadly forest. The trees and bushes of the woods faded away into a large chamber room. Suzaku was sitting on a throne, handing a small silver sword to a young blonde girl. Once again the room faded away to a sandy beach, where a solitary figure was practicing her sword skills in the dark of night. Hiei saw images of Suzaku holding up pictures of numerous demons, and sending the girl to find them. He saw the fear in peoples eyes as they ran away at the sight of her. Blue fire seemed to glow in her eyes as she killed countless demons mercilessly. He saw the emotionless expression on her face as she walked away, acting as though nothing had happened.

The final vision he saw was in Suzaku's throne room again. "What do you mean you wont do it?!" he screamed at the girl before him.

"I mean exactly what I said" she answered coldly. "We made a deal. I would be your hired assassin, but I would never have to kill some one you is innocent or a child. What you are asking of me now is breaking my code of honor."

"You have a lot of nerve to say that to me!" Suzaku snarled. "You are my slave and you must do as I command!"

"YOU'RE SLAVE!? Suzaku, I thought we were friends!" he sniggered. "Friends? You thought we were friends!? I would never be friends with the likes of you!"

"Traitor!" the girl seethed.

Suzaku laughed as she unsheathed her sword. "Because of your rude disobedient manner, you must be punished."

"Do with me what you wish you bastard! I fear neither death nor pain!" Suzaku let out an evil laugh that shook the room. "By the time I'm done with you, you'll be begging for mercy!"

"I beg for nothing." she whispered, glaring daggers at him.

"Guards!" Suzaku hollered. About 20 demons rushed into the room, carrying swords, spears, and a few even had cross bows. The brave youkai gripped her sword tightly, and charged at a group of the guards. With one swipe of her sword she killed five of them easily.

"Is that the best you can do!?" she asked Suzaku, punching another demon in the face. Suzaku merely grinned. Her sword skills were amazing. She moved swiftly and gracefully as she fought for her life. She killed youkai after youkai, but the group seemed to get larger. For every two she killed, another four appeared. As she punched one of them in the head, another one came up behind her and thrust his blade into her side. She doubled over in pain, but she continued to fight with all her strength. She gradually slowed down, and was easy prey for her enemies. She was pushed to the ground, and a spear punctured her right arm. She screamed, than fainted.

From his seat, Suzaku looked very pleased. "What should we do with her body, master?" one of the guards asked, kicking the unconscious figure on the floor.

"Dump her into the Ningenkai! I never want to see that ungrateful wench again!"

"Yes sir!" the demon replied.

The room faded into darkness. Hiei opened his two scarlet eyes, and gently lifted his fingers from the girls head. He tied his white bandanna around his head, as he sat on the edge of the futon. For some, reason he felt a sense of compassion towards the girl before him. They both lived similar lives. Rejected at birth. Trained to be a heartless killer. Feared and hated by all who set eyes upon them. Betrayed by the only people you thought you could trust.

Hiei sat back on the bed. His hand gently brushed against the girls. He quickly snatched it back, and blushed slightly, but no one was around to see it for that brief moment. Hiei got up from the bed, and sat back down in the chair. He crossed his arms over his bare chest. With one more quick glance at the girl, he to, fell asleep, remembering horrible ordeals from his past.
