The Good side of Darkness
By: Lilly-Lulu
The little black hooded fire demon looked at his younger sister as she talked with
Kuwabara. The clumsy fool tried to spit out words that made any type of sense but to
no avail.
"So are we going to the movies tonight, Kuwabara?" Yukina looked into his eyes
adorably.
"Yes, movie, candy, go, latter," was all Kuwabara could spit out.
Hiei put his head in his hand and sighed. This is pathetic . He thought as he walked
towards a dark corner by Yusuke's house. Yusuke had called a little get together, and
even though Hiei disliked the idea Kurama had convinced him to come.
"Yukina is coming," Kurama had said. "And so is Kuwabara. You might want to come
and make sure he doesn't do something stupid even for him."
"......Fine. But only because Yukina is coming," Hiei had said sternly.
He now regretted his decision. Yukina didn't need his protection 24-7. Even though
Kuwabara is a clumsy dumba§§ he was pretty strong and could do the protecting if
needed. Hiei sat in the corner and examined his katana. He knew every dent, scratch,
burn, and blemish on it, but he was bored and he wanted to do something.
"Konnichiwa!" A cheerful voice came from beside Hiei. Hiei looked up and saw
Kurama dressed in his usual long robe smiling down at him.
"What do you want, fox?" Hiei continued examining his katana.
"Just seeing what your doing, you seem like your having too much fun for me,"
Kurama slid down beside him. Hiei put his katana back in it's place and stood up.
"I'm going home. This place is just getting more boring every minute," He headed for
the end of Yusuke's house.
"Matte!" Kurama called after Hiei.
"Nani?" Hiei asked annoyed.
"What about Yukina?"
"What about her?"
"I thought you always wanted to be close to her to protect her," Kurama glanced over
at Kuwabara and Yukina. Yukina laughed as Kuwabara tried to form sentences.
"He may be a loser, clumsy, and a complete dumba§§ but he is strong. She has him to
protect her," Hiei headed back towards the end Yusuke's house.
Just as Hiei reached the end, a green and yellow beam passed by him!
"W-What the hell?!" Hiei turned around to see where the beam had gone. He couldn't
see anything. No destruction or trace of the beam.
"Kurama...did you just..."
"Yeah I did," Kurama had been looking around too. Then Hiei heard the worst come
from Yukina's direction. "Yukina!! Wake up! Please!" Kuwabara shouted at the
seemingly dead Yukina. He was holding her hand and crying. Hiei and Kurama looked
over at them.
"Y-Yukina?" Hiei turned pale. And his blood ran cold, "YUKINA!!!" He ran over to her
with Kurama close behind. Hiei reached Yukina and pushed Kuwabara aside. He held
Yukina up and tried desperately to wake her up. She was cold, and she didn't respond
at all to Hiei's pleads. He's eyes started turning watery as he begged Yukina to awake.
"Haha! Try as you may little boy, but that girl isn't waking up," Hiei looked up and saw
a tall man with long brown hair wearing a black cape much like his own floating above
them.
"Are you the bastard who did this to Yukina!!" Kuwabara shouted. He brought out his
spirit sword. He looked into the man's eyes. "Bring her back!" He shouted aggressively.
Yusuke had joined in by now, and after noticing the situation looked at the man with as
much hatred as everyone else.
"I will bring her back, on one condition," He paused and looked at every person as if
judging them. "You all have to fight me. If you win I revive the girl. But if I win you all will
perish with her."
"Fine! We will fight you! Bring it on!" Kuwabara shouted and brought his spirit sword
out in front of him.
"Oh, I see I've made you mad. He, My name is Lurkama. I'll fight you all tonight at
midnight in the middle of those woods. There is a clearing. You ALL must come or I will
automatically kill the girl. And on that note," Lurkama lifted his hand and Yukina started
to fly toward him. Hiei had , had just about enough of this and jumped on Yukina. "You
bastard!" Hiei yelled as he shot a huge fireball at Lurkama's head with pin-point
accuracy. Yukina stopped floating and fell back into Hiei's arms. A small smile grew on
Hiei's face as he noticed when the smoke cleared Lurkama was gone.
"Haha, looks like I underestimated you boy."
Hiei spun around. Lurkama was so fast he dodged Hiei's attack and ended up behind
him. Before Hiei could react, Lurkama took Hiei's katana and stabbed him in the back
with it. As he fell, Lurkama took Yukina, and thats all Hiei could remember seeing
before he passed out.

"Hiei? Hiei?" Kurama tried to revive the unconscious fire demon.
"It's no use. Let him wake up on his own," Yusuke told Kurama.
"But we can't give him this healing potion until he wakes up. And by that time it might
be too late," Kurama protested. Giving Yusuke a worried look. Kurama looked back
over at Hiei. Hiei was his best friend and didn't want to see him like this. After the
incident Kurama carried Hiei into Yusuke's house and laid him on the living room
couch. Kurama sat by Hiei waiting for him to wake up. Yusuke sat in a chair about five
feet away. And Kuwabara sat by the window and starred into space.
Hiei's eyes suddenly fluttered and he gently opened them. Kurama didn't seem to
notice until Hiei started to reach for his side where he had been stabbed. Kurama then
handed Hiei the healing potion immediately.
"Here take this, it will heal your wound."
Hiei looked at it with dislike. "What is this stuff?" Hiei didn't wait for an answer and
drank the potion.
"That Lurkama guy gave it to us. He said for you to take it when your awake and it will
heal your wound," Kurama explained.
"And you trusted him?"
"Well, it's working isn't it?" Kurama pointed to the raptly disappearing gash in Hiei's
side.
"Besides we didn't have a choice. You would have died from that attack," Yusuke said
as he looked down at the ground. Hiei remembered the jerk who kidnapped Yukina. He
then remembered the fight planned.
"What time is it?" Hiei looked around for a clock. He found one on the nearby wall it
read 6:30.
"That a§§hole! He better not hurt Yukina!" Kuwabara stated, punching the wall. He
then looked over at everyone else. He tried his best not to let a tears shed down his
face. But one single tear did.
Kuwabara.... Hiei thought.
"We're going to rescue her Kuwabara," Yusuke reassured his friend. "No matter what
don't worry."
Kurama looked back over to Hiei. Hiei had his fists clenched tightly. The look in his
eyes told Kurama that Hiei was going to do everything to get his sister back unharmed.
"Well we have some time, so lets just think everything over. We don't want to do
anything stupid," Yusuke looked at the group. Kuwabara looked over at Hiei. Why did
he try so hard to save Yukina? He thought. He knew Hiei of all people wouldn't try that
hard to save anyone. Maybe Kurama, but why Yukina?
"Hey, Hiei. Whats your story with Yukina anyway?" Kuwabara asked.
Hiei jerked back. Surprised by the sudden question. "W-What do you mean by
"story"?"
"I mean, why did you try do save her like you did?"
"There are some people I will actually try to save. Besides YOU didn't seem to be
trying very hard to do anything but shout insults," Hiei snorted.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!!??" Kuwabara stood up ready to kill. "I COULDN'T DO
ANYTHING!!" Hiei stood up.
"Thats why you didn't even try?!"
"Look Hiei! Your really stating to piss me off!"
"Well, at least we can agree with something." Hiei responded calmly. Kuwabara's
angry level flew throw the roof. He then charged Hiei, spirit sword in hand. Hiei brought
out his katana ready for the attack.
"Stop!" Yusuke shouted. Kuwabara stopped and looked over at Yusuke. Hiei took this
as an expected advantage on his part. He jumped and prepared to slice Kuwabara's
arm off. Kuwabara looked up. Too late Hiei thought. He liked seeing the terrified
expression on his face. Just when Kuwabara's arm was to be cut clean off, Hiei was
thrown across the room landing into the dinning room table.
When Hiei could think striate he noticed Kurama on top of him. And took note that he
was the one who tackled him, and prevented the possibility of a one armed Kuwabara.
"Save the fighting for Lurkama," Kurama glared into Hiei's eyes.
"Get off me!" Hiei pushed Kurama off forcefully. Hiei sat there silent. He was hopping
the slicing of Kuwabara's arm would satisfy him at least until the fight. Yusuke was able
to get Kuwabara to sit down and relax.
"Did you see that?! He was going to slice my arm off! We can't trust him so much!"
Kuwabara yelled.
"As I recall you were about to slice him in half with your spirit sword," Yusuke
reminded him.
"So your going to stick up for him?!"
"No, you both are acting stupid! Now cut it out! We'll kick that Lurkama's a§§ at
midnight, do you both think you can stop from killing each other until then?"
"Yeah, I guess I can," Kuwabara turned away and went back to staring into space.
Yusuke still waited for Hiei's answer.
"Hiei?!" Yusuke asked impatiently.
"What," he responded stubbornly.
"Do you think you can stop from killing...."
"I heard what you said," Hiei interrupted.
"Well?"
"......We'll see."
