Hello! And thanks for taking a look at my new story. This is going to be a strange paring, but it sounded good to me. So its Hiei X Gaara. Should make a nifty mix! Anyhow, been a while since I wrote last. Please be nice on me LOL. And Review of Corse! Let me know how I am doing. I am NOT the best speller in the world. I do what I can with spell check. I don't own anything! :D Enjoy chapter one! MORE TO COME!

Hiei hissed out a growl in frustration at the current situation. Here the team was, sitting in the middle of the makai, stuck in a nasty freak weather storm in a cave. He was just about out of sanity as he listened to the two buffoons bicker back and forth. His eyes glanced over the small cave, to observe his teammates. Kuwabara and Yusuke were sitting next to the fire, arguing over something unintelligible. Kurama was not far from them, studying some writings on the wall. The writings were the main reason they were here.

~flash back~

Koenma shifted some paperwork along his desk and handed a folder to Kurama. "Your new mission should be a simpler one. You 4 are to go and investigate an area in the makai. Some demons have been gathering in the area. We don't know what for, however we are worried that it might be trouble. Along with the gathering of Demons, there seems to have also been a freak storm that started not long after. Kurama I will provide you with the map. Please investigate the demon gathering and the area."

~end flash back~

Once they got to the area that Koenma had spoken of they found that the storm was getting worse. There was hail, rain, and lightning that had left craters in the ground. Trying to avoided getting struck by the deadly lightning, they found a large moutin in the middle of the storm, which had a gated entrance the lead underground. So they went in, and out of the storm. This is where they now found themselves. In the middle of a cave, a cave that's walls were covered in scripts. And those were what held Kurama's attention.

Letting out another frustrated sign Hiei leant back against the rock wall behind him. His head lolled back against the wall, and his eyes rested on the ceiling above. From where he sat he stared at the ceiling, of the cave. The flat, Mirror like ceiling. Hiei blinked and studied the ceiling a bit harder. It was a Mirror! And he could clearly see the reflection of the ground of the cave, were the appeared to be etchings carved into the floor off to the left side of the room. Hiei was quite intrigued by them, and stood on his feet. He walked over to where they were, still glancing at the ceiling, until he stood in the center of the markings. He looked down at the ground, and shockingly saw nothing. He looked up, and then down, he clearly saw himself reflecting in the ceiling, but there was nothing on the ground.

Hiei knelt to the ground, and dusted it off lightly. Still, nothing appeared visible. Hiei growled again, and glanced up. He turned around to bring this to Kurama's attention, to find his three comrades right behind him. The three stood about 3 feet away from him, and their moths were moving. But Hiei could not hear a sound. Hiei tried to step forward, and meet a barrier that rippled through the air. His eyes widened and he pushed against it. It was solid. He glanced back up at his teammates, who were talking still but Hiei could not hear a word. Hiei glanced up at the ceiling, the others followed his eyes. The ceiling appeared to be rippling now. Waves moving across it, and a light shimmering softly from it. The reflection gone. Hiei then noticed that light started to fill the room. His face snapped down to meet the others. The carvings on the wall of the cave appeared to be filling with light; slowly the glowing was moving from the base of the walls and climbing upward. Hiei looked back at his teammates. Who were not focused on him, but appeared to be talking to each other.

The light in the room got brighter and brighter. The barrier around Hiei started the ripple, and the same markings that were carved into the wall began to appear climbing up the barrier walls. Soon the Light projecting from around him became so blindingly light that Hiei had no choice but to close and shield his eyes. Then Hiei felt the pulse around him. He suddenly felt like he was falling, but he wasn't falling, he was still standing on the ground. His whole body jerked, and he collapsed to his knees, his hands resting flat on the ground. His whole body felt disoriented, and shaky. Everything around him was pulsating, and he was falling, yet not. His body started to tremble from the disorientation. He strained against the feeling, but it only got worse. His trembling and disorientation got worse, and Hiei felt his breath speed up, his body didn't feel right he felt sick, pressured, and dizzy. Until his body couldn't hold out anymore, and Hiei collapsed against the ground blacking out.

~_~_~_~_~_~_~ TIME SKIP~_~_~_~_~_~

Hiei groaned when he awoke, his whole body ached all over. He felt sick and disorientated still. He opened his eyes and blinked a few times. The world seemed to be spinning around him, so he clamped them close again and rested against the cold ground. He waited for a while, until his head stopped pounding, and his body stopped trembling. He opened his eyes once more and blinked a few times. His body still hurt, and his head felt like it was going to split open from pressure. But he knew he had to move, he had to sit up. He could not be caught ungraded much longer, he was a open target.

Hiei pushed himself to sit up, it was hard, and it hurt. However after much effort he managed to sit himself back against the wall of the cave. He glanced around the cave, and was shocked to find that it was not the same one he has been in before. The walls didn't have the carvings, and were rough. The ceiling didn't have a reflection. Hiei glanced at the ground where he had come to awaken, and saw that there was the carving on the ground of the cave. The floor of the cave however was covered in dirty and dust. It looked completely uninhabited for a long time.

With a grunt and struggle, Hiei pushed himself up from the ground into a standing position. His legs were a bit shaken, and his body protested the move. Hiei forced himself to ignore the complaints of his body, and used the wall as support as he made his way to the entrance of the cave. When he reached the entrance he peered out of it, and was surprised to see that he was on a lone mountain, surrounded by a desert. This was not where he had been the night before. Bringing Hiei to one conclusion, that somehow, what happen last night must have been a portal of some type? Leaving Hiei now stranded in some unfamiliar place.

With a tiered sigh, Hiei leant back against the wall. Outside of the cave it was dry and hot. Not that the heat bothered Hiei much being a Fire Demon. But with his body the way it was now, he was in no shape to go gallivanting around a desert. However he was also in no shape to protect himself. He needed rest, and the cave seemed like the only viable option at this point and time. Hiei glanced back inside the cave. This opening had appeared to be the only entrance. Meaning if he was attacked it would come from this opening.

Hiei pulled his hand up to his moth, and bite his plum. Blood seeped from the wound and into his cupped hand. With his other hand Hiei dipped his hand in the blood and began scribbling a Keiki protection barrier on the wall. He shifted to the other side of the opening and finished sealing the keiki barrier. Leaving the entrance of the cave shut up by the protective barrier. The only thing coming though that would have to have a large amount of power. Hiei moved back into the deeper part of the cave, and sat, leaning his back against the wall he allowed his body to drift off into sleep.

~_~_~_~_~_~_~ TIME SKIP~_~_~_~_~_~

Hiei awoken startled by the jolt to the keiki barrier. His head snapped up and moved sharply to the entrance of the cave. From the back of the cave were Hiei lay, he was not able to see much near the entrance. But from what Hiei could make it, it appeared that there were lights flashing around the entrance. There was also some talk. Then suddenly Hiei felt another Jolt. They were weak jolts, and Hiei knew that at present, whoever was trying to make it though his barrier had no chance of getting through. They were not a threat to him. Hiei stayed in the back of the cave, unmoving, focusing on the cave entrance. There were a few more jolts to his barrier; however they were weak, and powerless. Then the jolting stopped. Whatever had been trying to get in seemed to have given up. Hiei was still tiered and sore, so he allowed his body to rest once more.

Sorry got to stop there guys! Please Review! Let me know what ya think!
