Once upon a long time ago, when a little five year old girl watched her parents house burn down. Flame everywhere. Flame on the roof, flame on the grass, flame in the trees. The one flame that burned everything out of proportion was the flame that grew in the little girls' eyes. Her parents died that day, but not because of a simple fire. They weren't in the fire. Her parents died in battle against demons. She didn't hate the demons for what they did, but she didn't favor their company. She didn't do anything about the fire. She didn't care, she had no parents to go home to anymore. That wasn't her house, it was her parents. So she stood there, watching the house burn down as the sparks of fire blew past her hair. Her fiery blond hair blew with the wind that spread the fire. The day was engraved in her heart for eternity. Hiding the facts for years. Only to find the person she was to become. She needed to tell someone. She admitted to her own weakness. Then she became the being that was warped and confusing. This little girls' name is Hikage Taiyo.
EIGHT YEARS LATER
Hikage was walking on the streets in her black trench coat at the age of thirteen. She had her hands in her pockets and was looking down at the ground. She had wished that the sky turned rainy today, but then again it was better than any other day. Her hair was a little bit higher than her knees, but that was all. She wasn't sure what that certain craving for chocolate was all about. She reached a corner where the park was. She went to cross a street. She heard some guys babbling about some kind of chess game they lost and that, blah, blah, blah. That was a gang trying to kill a guy over losing a stupid chess game. She walked forward and then turned right. She had her back against a tree listening to the conversation to get info before she barged in and found out that it was some misunderstanding. She was keeping an eye on the men that were hassling the chess champ. One of the guys pulled out a gun and blah, blah, blah. That was certainly Hikage's move. She ran out from the trees and said, you might want to try and shoot me first. One of the guys said "Who's this freakin' little girl think she is?" The man who appeared to be the leader said " It doesn't matter. Any witnesses must be eliminated. The man kept on shooting and was missing every shot as she dodged ever one. When she got close enough, she gave him an uppercut and the gun flew in the air. She caught it and then tried shooting at the man positioning his gun to shoot her, but nothing happened "Urhhh, how many damn bullets did this ass hole put in here." *bang*. The bullet pierced right through her as she fell backward to the ground.
A pool of blood surrounded her. Yep, she was dead. Had no parents to go home to. To have a funeral with. She might get to see her parents in heaven though. She wasn't even sure she was going to heaven with all the stuff that she's done in her past. Instead of seeing a bright light or flame she saw some kid with an idiot hat that had "Jr." inscribed on it. The young man said " Give me your name miss." She responded with a confused face on "Hikage Taiyo." The little boy scrolled his finger down the list and then his eyes bulged out." Ahhh, I don't think you're suppose to be here. Are you sure you're dead?" Hikage gave him a disgusted look and said " Does it look like I'm alive?" The little boy reached through her and fell from his desk and said " Oh dear, my dad's going to kill me for this. How could I have let this happen? Back to the human world you go. We have big expectations for you. We need you to go back to your body in the Tsuki hospital. It's very important you go back inside when you see a guy with pink hair kissing you though."
She was in a hospital in the same room as her body. A guy with pink hair came in the room with a guy who had tall black hair. The one with black hair said " I can't believe the baby sent us to kiss the girl awake. It's the most less likely thing that we would want to do." The pink haired one said " He is a strange one isn't he." The pink haired one looked at Hikage's body and leaned over it. Hikage remembered what the kid said so she did it and after the pink haired guy kissed her. She groaned and then sat up putting her right hand on her forehead. She looked over and said " You're from the spirit world aren't you. I was listed as a spirit detective and you needed ot revive me because it's time that I start my duties. Am I correct?" The pink haired guy said in suspicion " How is it you know this?" Hikage said calmly " I would like to know your names before I give away any information." The pink haired guy responded " I am Korama and my partner is Hiei over there." He pointed at Hiei leaning on the door. Hikage made a small grunt as she looked over at Hiei and then back at Korama and said " I don't give off info as easy as knowing names. I'll only tell you that I just know about it. Don't worry, there was no glitch in the human world to my knowledge." She attempted to get off the bed, but she then stopped herself from the pain in her stomach that was once the shot that killed her. A flash of light appeared in the room.
They appeared in the office of that little kid again. The little kid was on the phone and stopped talking for a minute to say " I'll give you your test as soon as I'm done with this call." Hikage waited and then she heard a big shriek. The kid hung up. Hikage reminded him " About my test, what is it?" The kid said in panic "Oh , yeah, uhh, your mission is to get through the spirit world tournaments alive." He then pressed a button and sent her to the tournament. Korama said " We'll lead you to the battle field." Hikage grunted.
They got to the field and they were choosing who would fight. Yuske was arguing that he wanted to fight. Koroma announced " We have a new team mate. She hasn't gone through training yet, but the top gave her the orders." They were against a team of human slash animal people. They had mysterious powers. It reminded Hikage of the one who killed her parents. Apparently that's who was standing on the arena. After eight full years. She found the chance to kill the person that killed her parents. Hikage said "I'll take this fight." She said with a serious face.
She walked up to the arena and the opponent said " I'll give you an introduction so you know who killed you after this fight. I am Kage Matsuyo. And your name?" Hikage smirked and said " You might remember me. You killed my parents when I was five." She threw her trench coat to the side and said " I am Hikage Taiyo." She revealed the sword that hid from under her trench coat. The black haired man with black colored ears said " Ahhhh, yes, you were the daughter of Yue Taiyo. He was quite the annoyance. I'll have to dispose of your whole family once and for all." He drew his sword and ran toward Hikage. When he was only an inch away she drew her sword as well and blocked his attack. The swiftness of the maneuver made sparks blow away with the pressure blow of the sword. Hikage pushed her sword against his with extreme force making him blow back thirty feet. The man smirked and said " Heh, you broke a record. Nobodies ever withdrew me more than five feet. Makes me wonder what other power you've obtained while I was away." Hikage said with a determined voice " Oh, I'll show you what I can't do ass hole." She raised her sword and then yelled our " Spirit Blade Energy!" She swung the sword and blue spirit energy came flying at the man. The energy contained lightning. When it hit the man the man crouched down in pain. Hikage smirked and said " It would have been time for you to retire soon anyway. This was just a way of saying that you wouldn't have made it to retiring without me killing you." Hikage saw the man smirk as he said snickering " You can't seriously think that someone who killed your father would have been done that easily? You are so naive little one." She then grunted and turned the grunt into a spell " Spirit Light!" Light appeared as if they were in a realm of light. It was too bright to see for the man. The man snickered and said " Heh, a waist of your spirit energy. I can scense you coming closer." When the light cleared and the audience could see. Hikage was holding her sword against the mans' neck and said closely to his ear " Who said it was spirit energy?" Then slit his throat. The man fell to the ground and was gasping for air as he reached up to Hikage. Hikage responded with " You really wanna know what kind of energy it was don't you. I don't feel the need to tell anybody for that matter. I'd like it if we could fight again someday. I'd like if you could come back to the Earth as a better person. For now, you gotta rest in peace." He then fell down completely as the cold face looking down at him looked away.
She was looking at the other team and said " What do you think? I'll make it easier for you. How about one on the rest of you?" The other team nodded their heads, yes, in agreement and went on the platform. Hikage looked at her team and saw Hiei yielding a sword. She then yelled out to Hiei " Yo, swordsman!" She forgot his name. She only met him today and she didn't have any friends, but she had a thing with forgetting names. She walked over to her team. Hiei responded with a disgusted glare and said " What the hell is it?" Hikage said " I'm planning on doing something. I need two swords to accomplish it. Do you know what the Acid Wind attack is?" Hiei said " No, but I'll be willing to try. What the hell is it?" Hikage answered " All you have to do is go to the middle of the ring and stick your sword in the platform. I suppose I'll have to store the energy since you don't know what it is." Korama was shocked that she knew all these spells. She had barely started and she already knew spells that even Hiei hasn't heard of.
Hiei stepped onto the platform and Hikage said " Change of plans guys. Two against all you guys. Don't expect me to go easy just because I'm a girl though. The announcer then gave them the signal to fight. Hikage and Hiei ran to the middle holding the handle of their swords to get ready for the attack. Hikage and Hiei drew their swords and they were surrounded. The monsters were coming at then from every direction. Hikage said " Lets make this quick." She said over her shoulder and stuck her sword in the platform as well as Hiei. Hikage then said " Acid Wind !" The arena around Hikage and Hiei began to turn into crater. Hiei thought to himself " What is this? Some kind of weak gale." When the wind that appeared making the arena a crater around them hit a monster they swiftly got torn to shreds. When the thin layer that was blown away by the attack was fully complete all the monsters were torn to shreds and not a brain or trace was left. Hikage turned and smiled at Hiei saying " Thanks for the help. Now do you know why it's called acid wind?" Hiei grunted and turned around. The announcer then said "Well. . . uhhh . . . It appears that team Urameshi is the winner. Shew, I almost got turned into nothing. Apparently that's all for today. "
Korama said to Genkai " That girl is extremely powerful. She seems to know know spells even when she just started." Genkai responded by saying " She is not as powerful as she appears. Her power is weaker than all of ours, but she seems to have a way to make the spell go beyond the limit of her power. Her power does increase every time she fights, but it is increasing at a very slow rate." Korama was puzzled by the girls' ability to create such limits for herself.
As they were walking on the path back to the hotel Hikage was looking at the ground as she usually did. Hiei was talking to Korama and said " You wonder why she carries a sword in the human world. Pf, believing that she has the right to kill everything that threatens her. I don't have anything against it, but I would of liked our mission better if all we had to do was bust her out of jail." Hiei then crossed his arms. Hikage was listening to the sounds of everyday life. Hearing the yelling and fighting that had become of both the spirit world and the human world. Hikage stopped and held the part of her stomach that got shot. There was a bandage from the hospital still there. Hikage looked over her shoulder and said " I'll be with you guys in a minute. You keep on going ahead. I have to do something before I get to the hotel." Boton nodded in agreement and the rest walked on. Everybody but Hiei.
He wanted to know what was going on. Hiei wanted to know at least something about the new attendant. He hid behind a tree as Hikage walked into the forest far enough so that she wouldn't be seen from the path. She sat on a rock. She took off her trench coat and took off the cloth that was tightly wrapped around her stomach. When she loosened it her pupils quickly grew small and she coughed up blood. She set down the cloth wiping the blood from her lips with her arm. She then lifted her red shirt half way up. She took off the bandage that covered the womb and shoved two of her fingers into the womb and pulled out a bullet. She winced as the blood from the womb spilled out once more. She wrapped the cloth around her stomach under her shirt and then made sure there was nothing unnatural about how the cloth looked under her shirt.
Hiei wasn't even sure how she had died. She was killed with a bullet. She hid it all that time without flinching during battle. Hikage then walked out of the forest and ran to catch up with the rest. Hiei knew why Hikage needed to use the acid wind attack. It was so she could simply beat the rest of the team without the pain of the bullet being revealed. She had already beaten one of the opponents' team mate, which made her stomach ache with pain. She couldn't have done anymore complicated maneuvers. He knew one of her weaknesses, but it wouldn't last long. The womb would eventually heal.
AT THE HOTEL ROOM
In the living room everybody was eating accept Hikage and Hiei. Hikage was sitting in a chair with her arms crossed. Hiei was leaning against the mini hall to their rooms as he looked closely at Hikage. She was looking out the see-through balcony door. Hiei could see her clenching her stomach every couple seconds. It was insane. She didn't want to tell anyone about the bullet.
Hikage got up and put her hands to her sides and walked to her assigned room. Apparently since Hiei's sword was there, she must be sharing a room with Hiei and Korama. There were four beds, so that left one empty. Hikage walked farther into the room. She picked the bed with nothing by it in the far right corner on the left side of the room. She took off her trench coat and unlatched the ring around her waist that held her sword case. She set them on the bed. She sat on the bed and then took off her shoes. Her eyes were tired. She lost a lot of blood but she didn't want attention to it. Her eye color was blue. Hikage looked at he hands and thought how miserable they made her hands feel. Gripping to her skin whenever she broke a sweat. She unlatched the buckle that surrounded her wrists and took the gloves off. She looked at her hands. Her hands were sweaty, but had a smooth texture. She saw the longest life line in the world. If it weren't for her clumsy cooking that line would be a lot shorter, but it goes straight down from her hand to two inches away from the palm.
Hikage then realized that Hiei was standing in the door way. Hiei said when Hikage finally noticed him " You seem to have lost a whole lot of blood." Hiei held up the bullet that Hikage purposely left in the forest and said " It appears you have a problem with telling people you're hurt." Hiei walked right up to her. She then said with an irritated face " I don't know what your talking about." Hiei took his sword and slashed her shirt half way up and said " What do you call this then?" He said as he pointed his sword at the white cloth that had a blotch of blood in the spot she got shot. He then put his sword back and Hikage said " Sorry I don't like being under a microscope. It makes me real uncomfortable." She said with a disgusted face. Hikage noticed a whole shelf of clothes with a note on it. Hikage got up and went over to read the tag. It said " We noticed you had no changing clothes so we got you some." It was anonymous. Hikage went to go back to her bed to get Hiei to leave her alone, but instead she fell half way there. She was so tired from loosing all the blood. Hiei walked over to her calmly and picked her up and put her on the bed. She was about his size so it was easy to pick her up. He walked out of the room and walked over to Korama. When he got his attention, he signaled for him to come in the room. Hiei walked back to the room. After a few seconds Korama followed.
Korama then closed the door behind him. He saw Hiei siting on the edge of Hikage's bed with his arms crossed. Hiei said " Her cause of death was a gun shot. She lost a lot of blood so she fainted. She decided not to tell anyone. I decided to keep the worry down for her. Korama, can you do anything to heal her?" Korama then said " I can't heal her, but I have something that will quicken the process." He walked over to the drawer and pulled out a flask of green liquid that could be easily mistaken from green cool aid. He walked back to Hikage's bed and had Hiei move so that he could give it to her properly. He poured it down her throat.
FIVE MINUTES LATER
Hikage groaned and then started opening her eyes. When she did she saw Korama leaning over her. His face was worried. The vision was blurry, but she couldn't mistake the shade of pink for anything. She didn't say his name because she had forgotten it. Korama stopped leaning over her. When her vision wasn't blurry anymore she sat up and said " I hate to ask, but could you fill me in on what happened while I was asleep?" Korama touched her cheek and said with a smile "You fainted and Hiei carried you into your bed and I gave you a womb healing potion that should get your womb to heal faster." She then said with a flash second, a vision and said " You're not a normal demon are you. You have a true form. You're just using this body for your reasons. Am I right?" Korama then said " It's true, but that's not the concern now. You could have died if you let any more blood spill from the womb. Hikage then said " And I'm not concerned with that right now." Hiei then said "We can see that." Hikage moved her legs to the edge of the bed and then stood up. Korama then put his hand on her stomach and the other on her back saying " You shouldn't be getting up. You need time for your womb to heal." She grunted and then walked to the door. Korama then said " Wait!" He walked over to her a kneeled down and untied the cloth that was tied around her. When he was done unwrapping the cloth he saw nothing but a couple of splotches of blood and a scar that indicated that the womb was once there but now healed. Korama was shocked to see his medicine work that fast. It had never worked that fast before. Korama then realized the blood splotches and said " Hiei, I want you to get me a wet wash cloth. I don't care if you make it cold or warm.
Hiei went to the bathroom that was connected to the room. He took a cloth from the towel rack and held it under the faucet. He turned on the warm water. He then thought to himself " How could the medicine have worked any different for a regular human girl? It works slower on Yuske. Why should her wombs have healed quicker? Unless. . . she wasn't an ordinary human. Sure she was a spirit detective, but so was Yuske." Hiei wanted to try something. He cast a spell on the cloth so that when the cloth touched her skin it would hurt her from the steaming hot water. He went back into the bed room and gave the cloth to Korama. When Korama touched the cloth to her skin she didn't flinch she didn't cry out in pain. She stood there and watched Korama wash off the blood. When he was done he gave the cloth back to Hiei. Hiei was sure now that she wasn't normal. If anyone could have had that cloth on them without at least flinching they were defiantly not normal. But what was she if she wasn't a normal human?
He went and put it back in the bath room. He went back out and saw Korama laying her in bed and then kissing her on the forehead. He then held her left cheek with his right hand and said " You are a strange one Ms. Hikage. You are truly an amazing fighter. I wish I knew what you were fighting for that makes your strength stronger than your power. They say that people with pure blue eyes have an interesting past, but I won't ask. Right now you should rest." Korama said with a warm smile. Hikage blushed a rosy red. Korama noticed her blushing and said " Is there something wrong?" Hikage then reached up and touched his lips with her fingers and said " Your lips remind me of someone I knew." Korama responded by holding the hand that Hikage had on his lips and softly pulled her hand away and back to the bed and said " Maybe I knew you long ago then." Hikage answered " You couldn't have. You live in the spirit world." Korama clenched her hand on the bed soft, but harder than before and said " Well, I'm quite glad I met you Ms. Hikage." He then let go of her hand and got up from the bed to walk to his own bed on the the other side of the room. Before he got an inch away from the bed she then grabbed his shirt and he turned his head over his shoulder. Hikage then said " Thank you. I forgot your name though. Could you tell me it?" Korama gave her another warm smile and said "It's Korama, and you're welcome." He then turned back around and went to his bed.
Hiei walked farther into the room sat on his bed which was right across from Hikage's bed. Hikage would have rested accept for it was getting late and she hadn't taken a shower yet. She got up and went to the bath room which was on the wall at the foot of her bed. She took some P. J's with her and then took a shower. As she was taking a shower Hiei walked into the bath room and sat on the toilet seat cover. Hikage then said behind the shower curtain " Who is it?" Hiei then said " Hiei." She remembered his name now since Korama said it more than once. He was the black haired one. She then said " May I ask why you're in here while I'm taking a shower?" He then said " What exactly are you?" She responded " I'm human, that's all I am and will be. It shouldn't be hard to find that out. Why are you asking?" Hiei then said " You appear to have massive power even on your first day on the job. You also were amune to my spell on the cloth Korama used to wipe away the blood from your stomach injury. I must have been wrong to think you were anything more." He got up and then headed for the door. He opened it and then went back into the bed room. Hikage heard the door click behind him. She lied to him. She was part human, but she was part something else, but she couldn't tell a soul.
Hikage walked out of the bath room in her night dress. She was wearing a night dress that was six inches above her knees. It had the chinese symbol for luck all over the night dress. The background color was blue. The buttons buttoned all the way down. Hikage's hair was a little wet. Hiei wasn't in the room, but everybody else was in their rooms. Korama then said " It appears you have washed your hair." Hikage responded by saying " Uh, yeah." Korama then said " Would you like me to braid your hair so that it doesn't get messy in the morning?" Hikage responded " Uh sure."
She walked over to Korama's bed and then sat beside him turning her head so that he could braid her hair. He delicately split her hair into three parts and started braiding her hair. He said " Your hair is extremely beautiful and long. Could you have gotten it from your mother?" She then said " No, nobody in my family had blond hair." Korama then finished off the braid (fast braider huh!) and wrapped his arms around Hikage and rested his chin on her shoulder. Hikage blushed. Korama then asked " Where did you get it from then?" She answered the question with " I don't know." Korama breathed down her neck and said " That's ok, you don't have to know. You probably already had a painful past." His lips touched her neck and kissed it with most care and gentleness. Korama stopped kissing her neck and turned her around. He slowly drew closer and closer to her lips. She felt a weak feeling that made her freeze. She couldn't move. When Korama was half an inch away from Hikage's lips he touched his hand to her cheek as his thumb touched her lips. She could feel his breath against her lips.
Then they heard the door opening. Korama paused when he heard the sound instead of backing away. Hiei entered the room and saw them in the position. Korama quickly backed away from Hikage and explained himself by saying " Hiei do you like her hair. I just braided her hair. She had a loose hair, but I fixed it." Hiei grunted and then went to lay in his bed. Hikage walked back to her bed and laid in her bed and pulled the covers over her body.
AFTER TWENTY MINUTES
Korama was asleep. Hiei knew that Hikage was still awake. He then said "Korama is quite fond of you Ms. Hikage." Hikage responded by saying " Really? I never noticed." she said dazed from her tiredness. Hiei said " He thinks you're beautiful in every way. I've seen the way he looks at you. I think he likes you. A lot." Hikage then said " You could be right." Hiei then asked her " The announcer said your first fight was a grudge match. What was the grudge you had against the man?" Hikage then answered " He killed one of my friends." She lied, but he didn't know that.

EIGHT YEARS LATER
Hikage was walking on the streets in her black trench coat at the age of thirteen. She had her hands in her pockets and was looking down at the ground. She had wished that the sky turned rainy today, but then again it was better than any other day. Her hair was a little bit higher than her knees, but that was all. She wasn't sure what that certain craving for chocolate was all about. She reached a corner where the park was. She went to cross a street. She heard some guys babbling about some kind of chess game they lost and that, blah, blah, blah. That was a gang trying to kill a guy over losing a stupid chess game. She walked forward and then turned right. She had her back against a tree listening to the conversation to get info before she barged in and found out that it was some misunderstanding. She was keeping an eye on the men that were hassling the chess champ. One of the guys pulled out a gun and blah, blah, blah. That was certainly Hikage's move. She ran out from the trees and said, you might want to try and shoot me first. One of the guys said "Who's this freakin' little girl think she is?" The man who appeared to be the leader said " It doesn't matter. Any witnesses must be eliminated. The man kept on shooting and was missing every shot as she dodged ever one. When she got close enough, she gave him an uppercut and the gun flew in the air. She caught it and then tried shooting at the man positioning his gun to shoot her, but nothing happened "Urhhh, how many damn bullets did this ass hole put in here." *bang*. The bullet pierced right through her as she fell backward to the ground.
A pool of blood surrounded her. Yep, she was dead. Had no parents to go home to. To have a funeral with. She might get to see her parents in heaven though. She wasn't even sure she was going to heaven with all the stuff that she's done in her past. Instead of seeing a bright light or flame she saw some kid with an idiot hat that had "Jr." inscribed on it. The young man said " Give me your name miss." She responded with a confused face on "Hikage Taiyo." The little boy scrolled his finger down the list and then his eyes bulged out." Ahhh, I don't think you're suppose to be here. Are you sure you're dead?" Hikage gave him a disgusted look and said " Does it look like I'm alive?" The little boy reached through her and fell from his desk and said " Oh dear, my dad's going to kill me for this. How could I have let this happen? Back to the human world you go. We have big expectations for you. We need you to go back to your body in the Tsuki hospital. It's very important you go back inside when you see a guy with pink hair kissing you though."
She was in a hospital in the same room as her body. A guy with pink hair came in the room with a guy who had tall black hair. The one with black hair said " I can't believe the baby sent us to kiss the girl awake. It's the most less likely thing that we would want to do." The pink haired one said " He is a strange one isn't he." The pink haired one looked at Hikage's body and leaned over it. Hikage remembered what the kid said so she did it and after the pink haired guy kissed her. She groaned and then sat up putting her right hand on her forehead. She looked over and said " You're from the spirit world aren't you. I was listed as a spirit detective and you needed ot revive me because it's time that I start my duties. Am I correct?" The pink haired guy said in suspicion " How is it you know this?" Hikage said calmly " I would like to know your names before I give away any information." The pink haired guy responded " I am Korama and my partner is Hiei over there." He pointed at Hiei leaning on the door. Hikage made a small grunt as she looked over at Hiei and then back at Korama and said " I don't give off info as easy as knowing names. I'll only tell you that I just know about it. Don't worry, there was no glitch in the human world to my knowledge." She attempted to get off the bed, but she then stopped herself from the pain in her stomach that was once the shot that killed her. A flash of light appeared in the room.
They appeared in the office of that little kid again. The little kid was on the phone and stopped talking for a minute to say " I'll give you your test as soon as I'm done with this call." Hikage waited and then she heard a big shriek. The kid hung up. Hikage reminded him " About my test, what is it?" The kid said in panic "Oh , yeah, uhh, your mission is to get through the spirit world tournaments alive." He then pressed a button and sent her to the tournament. Korama said " We'll lead you to the battle field." Hikage grunted.
They got to the field and they were choosing who would fight. Yuske was arguing that he wanted to fight. Koroma announced " We have a new team mate. She hasn't gone through training yet, but the top gave her the orders." They were against a team of human slash animal people. They had mysterious powers. It reminded Hikage of the one who killed her parents. Apparently that's who was standing on the arena. After eight full years. She found the chance to kill the person that killed her parents. Hikage said "I'll take this fight." She said with a serious face.
She walked up to the arena and the opponent said " I'll give you an introduction so you know who killed you after this fight. I am Kage Matsuyo. And your name?" Hikage smirked and said " You might remember me. You killed my parents when I was five." She threw her trench coat to the side and said " I am Hikage Taiyo." She revealed the sword that hid from under her trench coat. The black haired man with black colored ears said " Ahhhh, yes, you were the daughter of Yue Taiyo. He was quite the annoyance. I'll have to dispose of your whole family once and for all." He drew his sword and ran toward Hikage. When he was only an inch away she drew her sword as well and blocked his attack. The swiftness of the maneuver made sparks blow away with the pressure blow of the sword. Hikage pushed her sword against his with extreme force making him blow back thirty feet. The man smirked and said " Heh, you broke a record. Nobodies ever withdrew me more than five feet. Makes me wonder what other power you've obtained while I was away." Hikage said with a determined voice " Oh, I'll show you what I can't do ass hole." She raised her sword and then yelled our " Spirit Blade Energy!" She swung the sword and blue spirit energy came flying at the man. The energy contained lightning. When it hit the man the man crouched down in pain. Hikage smirked and said " It would have been time for you to retire soon anyway. This was just a way of saying that you wouldn't have made it to retiring without me killing you." Hikage saw the man smirk as he said snickering " You can't seriously think that someone who killed your father would have been done that easily? You are so naive little one." She then grunted and turned the grunt into a spell " Spirit Light!" Light appeared as if they were in a realm of light. It was too bright to see for the man. The man snickered and said " Heh, a waist of your spirit energy. I can scense you coming closer." When the light cleared and the audience could see. Hikage was holding her sword against the mans' neck and said closely to his ear " Who said it was spirit energy?" Then slit his throat. The man fell to the ground and was gasping for air as he reached up to Hikage. Hikage responded with " You really wanna know what kind of energy it was don't you. I don't feel the need to tell anybody for that matter. I'd like it if we could fight again someday. I'd like if you could come back to the Earth as a better person. For now, you gotta rest in peace." He then fell down completely as the cold face looking down at him looked away.
She was looking at the other team and said " What do you think? I'll make it easier for you. How about one on the rest of you?" The other team nodded their heads, yes, in agreement and went on the platform. Hikage looked at her team and saw Hiei yielding a sword. She then yelled out to Hiei " Yo, swordsman!" She forgot his name. She only met him today and she didn't have any friends, but she had a thing with forgetting names. She walked over to her team. Hiei responded with a disgusted glare and said " What the hell is it?" Hikage said " I'm planning on doing something. I need two swords to accomplish it. Do you know what the Acid Wind attack is?" Hiei said " No, but I'll be willing to try. What the hell is it?" Hikage answered " All you have to do is go to the middle of the ring and stick your sword in the platform. I suppose I'll have to store the energy since you don't know what it is." Korama was shocked that she knew all these spells. She had barely started and she already knew spells that even Hiei hasn't heard of.
Hiei stepped onto the platform and Hikage said " Change of plans guys. Two against all you guys. Don't expect me to go easy just because I'm a girl though. The announcer then gave them the signal to fight. Hikage and Hiei ran to the middle holding the handle of their swords to get ready for the attack. Hikage and Hiei drew their swords and they were surrounded. The monsters were coming at then from every direction. Hikage said " Lets make this quick." She said over her shoulder and stuck her sword in the platform as well as Hiei. Hikage then said " Acid Wind !" The arena around Hikage and Hiei began to turn into crater. Hiei thought to himself " What is this? Some kind of weak gale." When the wind that appeared making the arena a crater around them hit a monster they swiftly got torn to shreds. When the thin layer that was blown away by the attack was fully complete all the monsters were torn to shreds and not a brain or trace was left. Hikage turned and smiled at Hiei saying " Thanks for the help. Now do you know why it's called acid wind?" Hiei grunted and turned around. The announcer then said "Well. . . uhhh . . . It appears that team Urameshi is the winner. Shew, I almost got turned into nothing. Apparently that's all for today. "
Korama said to Genkai " That girl is extremely powerful. She seems to know know spells even when she just started." Genkai responded by saying " She is not as powerful as she appears. Her power is weaker than all of ours, but she seems to have a way to make the spell go beyond the limit of her power. Her power does increase every time she fights, but it is increasing at a very slow rate." Korama was puzzled by the girls' ability to create such limits for herself.
As they were walking on the path back to the hotel Hikage was looking at the ground as she usually did. Hiei was talking to Korama and said " You wonder why she carries a sword in the human world. Pf, believing that she has the right to kill everything that threatens her. I don't have anything against it, but I would of liked our mission better if all we had to do was bust her out of jail." Hiei then crossed his arms. Hikage was listening to the sounds of everyday life. Hearing the yelling and fighting that had become of both the spirit world and the human world. Hikage stopped and held the part of her stomach that got shot. There was a bandage from the hospital still there. Hikage looked over her shoulder and said " I'll be with you guys in a minute. You keep on going ahead. I have to do something before I get to the hotel." Boton nodded in agreement and the rest walked on. Everybody but Hiei.
He wanted to know what was going on. Hiei wanted to know at least something about the new attendant. He hid behind a tree as Hikage walked into the forest far enough so that she wouldn't be seen from the path. She sat on a rock. She took off her trench coat and took off the cloth that was tightly wrapped around her stomach. When she loosened it her pupils quickly grew small and she coughed up blood. She set down the cloth wiping the blood from her lips with her arm. She then lifted her red shirt half way up. She took off the bandage that covered the womb and shoved two of her fingers into the womb and pulled out a bullet. She winced as the blood from the womb spilled out once more. She wrapped the cloth around her stomach under her shirt and then made sure there was nothing unnatural about how the cloth looked under her shirt.
Hiei wasn't even sure how she had died. She was killed with a bullet. She hid it all that time without flinching during battle. Hikage then walked out of the forest and ran to catch up with the rest. Hiei knew why Hikage needed to use the acid wind attack. It was so she could simply beat the rest of the team without the pain of the bullet being revealed. She had already beaten one of the opponents' team mate, which made her stomach ache with pain. She couldn't have done anymore complicated maneuvers. He knew one of her weaknesses, but it wouldn't last long. The womb would eventually heal.
AT THE HOTEL ROOM
In the living room everybody was eating accept Hikage and Hiei. Hikage was sitting in a chair with her arms crossed. Hiei was leaning against the mini hall to their rooms as he looked closely at Hikage. She was looking out the see-through balcony door. Hiei could see her clenching her stomach every couple seconds. It was insane. She didn't want to tell anyone about the bullet.
Hikage got up and put her hands to her sides and walked to her assigned room. Apparently since Hiei's sword was there, she must be sharing a room with Hiei and Korama. There were four beds, so that left one empty. Hikage walked farther into the room. She picked the bed with nothing by it in the far right corner on the left side of the room. She took off her trench coat and unlatched the ring around her waist that held her sword case. She set them on the bed. She sat on the bed and then took off her shoes. Her eyes were tired. She lost a lot of blood but she didn't want attention to it. Her eye color was blue. Hikage looked at he hands and thought how miserable they made her hands feel. Gripping to her skin whenever she broke a sweat. She unlatched the buckle that surrounded her wrists and took the gloves off. She looked at her hands. Her hands were sweaty, but had a smooth texture. She saw the longest life line in the world. If it weren't for her clumsy cooking that line would be a lot shorter, but it goes straight down from her hand to two inches away from the palm.
Hikage then realized that Hiei was standing in the door way. Hiei said when Hikage finally noticed him " You seem to have lost a whole lot of blood." Hiei held up the bullet that Hikage purposely left in the forest and said " It appears you have a problem with telling people you're hurt." Hiei walked right up to her. She then said with an irritated face " I don't know what your talking about." Hiei took his sword and slashed her shirt half way up and said " What do you call this then?" He said as he pointed his sword at the white cloth that had a blotch of blood in the spot she got shot. He then put his sword back and Hikage said " Sorry I don't like being under a microscope. It makes me real uncomfortable." She said with a disgusted face. Hikage noticed a whole shelf of clothes with a note on it. Hikage got up and went over to read the tag. It said " We noticed you had no changing clothes so we got you some." It was anonymous. Hikage went to go back to her bed to get Hiei to leave her alone, but instead she fell half way there. She was so tired from loosing all the blood. Hiei walked over to her calmly and picked her up and put her on the bed. She was about his size so it was easy to pick her up. He walked out of the room and walked over to Korama. When he got his attention, he signaled for him to come in the room. Hiei walked back to the room. After a few seconds Korama followed.
Korama then closed the door behind him. He saw Hiei siting on the edge of Hikage's bed with his arms crossed. Hiei said " Her cause of death was a gun shot. She lost a lot of blood so she fainted. She decided not to tell anyone. I decided to keep the worry down for her. Korama, can you do anything to heal her?" Korama then said " I can't heal her, but I have something that will quicken the process." He walked over to the drawer and pulled out a flask of green liquid that could be easily mistaken from green cool aid. He walked back to Hikage's bed and had Hiei move so that he could give it to her properly. He poured it down her throat.
FIVE MINUTES LATER
Hikage groaned and then started opening her eyes. When she did she saw Korama leaning over her. His face was worried. The vision was blurry, but she couldn't mistake the shade of pink for anything. She didn't say his name because she had forgotten it. Korama stopped leaning over her. When her vision wasn't blurry anymore she sat up and said " I hate to ask, but could you fill me in on what happened while I was asleep?" Korama touched her cheek and said with a smile "You fainted and Hiei carried you into your bed and I gave you a womb healing potion that should get your womb to heal faster." She then said with a flash second, a vision and said " You're not a normal demon are you. You have a true form. You're just using this body for your reasons. Am I right?" Korama then said " It's true, but that's not the concern now. You could have died if you let any more blood spill from the womb. Hikage then said " And I'm not concerned with that right now." Hiei then said "We can see that." Hikage moved her legs to the edge of the bed and then stood up. Korama then put his hand on her stomach and the other on her back saying " You shouldn't be getting up. You need time for your womb to heal." She grunted and then walked to the door. Korama then said " Wait!" He walked over to her a kneeled down and untied the cloth that was tied around her. When he was done unwrapping the cloth he saw nothing but a couple of splotches of blood and a scar that indicated that the womb was once there but now healed. Korama was shocked to see his medicine work that fast. It had never worked that fast before. Korama then realized the blood splotches and said " Hiei, I want you to get me a wet wash cloth. I don't care if you make it cold or warm.
Hiei went to the bathroom that was connected to the room. He took a cloth from the towel rack and held it under the faucet. He turned on the warm water. He then thought to himself " How could the medicine have worked any different for a regular human girl? It works slower on Yuske. Why should her wombs have healed quicker? Unless. . . she wasn't an ordinary human. Sure she was a spirit detective, but so was Yuske." Hiei wanted to try something. He cast a spell on the cloth so that when the cloth touched her skin it would hurt her from the steaming hot water. He went back into the bed room and gave the cloth to Korama. When Korama touched the cloth to her skin she didn't flinch she didn't cry out in pain. She stood there and watched Korama wash off the blood. When he was done he gave the cloth back to Hiei. Hiei was sure now that she wasn't normal. If anyone could have had that cloth on them without at least flinching they were defiantly not normal. But what was she if she wasn't a normal human?
He went and put it back in the bath room. He went back out and saw Korama laying her in bed and then kissing her on the forehead. He then held her left cheek with his right hand and said " You are a strange one Ms. Hikage. You are truly an amazing fighter. I wish I knew what you were fighting for that makes your strength stronger than your power. They say that people with pure blue eyes have an interesting past, but I won't ask. Right now you should rest." Korama said with a warm smile. Hikage blushed a rosy red. Korama noticed her blushing and said " Is there something wrong?" Hikage then reached up and touched his lips with her fingers and said " Your lips remind me of someone I knew." Korama responded by holding the hand that Hikage had on his lips and softly pulled her hand away and back to the bed and said " Maybe I knew you long ago then." Hikage answered " You couldn't have. You live in the spirit world." Korama clenched her hand on the bed soft, but harder than before and said " Well, I'm quite glad I met you Ms. Hikage." He then let go of her hand and got up from the bed to walk to his own bed on the the other side of the room. Before he got an inch away from the bed she then grabbed his shirt and he turned his head over his shoulder. Hikage then said " Thank you. I forgot your name though. Could you tell me it?" Korama gave her another warm smile and said "It's Korama, and you're welcome." He then turned back around and went to his bed.
Hiei walked farther into the room sat on his bed which was right across from Hikage's bed. Hikage would have rested accept for it was getting late and she hadn't taken a shower yet. She got up and went to the bath room which was on the wall at the foot of her bed. She took some P. J's with her and then took a shower. As she was taking a shower Hiei walked into the bath room and sat on the toilet seat cover. Hikage then said behind the shower curtain " Who is it?" Hiei then said " Hiei." She remembered his name now since Korama said it more than once. He was the black haired one. She then said " May I ask why you're in here while I'm taking a shower?" He then said " What exactly are you?" She responded " I'm human, that's all I am and will be. It shouldn't be hard to find that out. Why are you asking?" Hiei then said " You appear to have massive power even on your first day on the job. You also were amune to my spell on the cloth Korama used to wipe away the blood from your stomach injury. I must have been wrong to think you were anything more." He got up and then headed for the door. He opened it and then went back into the bed room. Hikage heard the door click behind him. She lied to him. She was part human, but she was part something else, but she couldn't tell a soul.
Hikage walked out of the bath room in her night dress. She was wearing a night dress that was six inches above her knees. It had the chinese symbol for luck all over the night dress. The background color was blue. The buttons buttoned all the way down. Hikage's hair was a little wet. Hiei wasn't in the room, but everybody else was in their rooms. Korama then said " It appears you have washed your hair." Hikage responded by saying " Uh, yeah." Korama then said " Would you like me to braid your hair so that it doesn't get messy in the morning?" Hikage responded " Uh sure."
She walked over to Korama's bed and then sat beside him turning her head so that he could braid her hair. He delicately split her hair into three parts and started braiding her hair. He said " Your hair is extremely beautiful and long. Could you have gotten it from your mother?" She then said " No, nobody in my family had blond hair." Korama then finished off the braid (fast braider huh!) and wrapped his arms around Hikage and rested his chin on her shoulder. Hikage blushed. Korama then asked " Where did you get it from then?" She answered the question with " I don't know." Korama breathed down her neck and said " That's ok, you don't have to know. You probably already had a painful past." His lips touched her neck and kissed it with most care and gentleness. Korama stopped kissing her neck and turned her around. He slowly drew closer and closer to her lips. She felt a weak feeling that made her freeze. She couldn't move. When Korama was half an inch away from Hikage's lips he touched his hand to her cheek as his thumb touched her lips. She could feel his breath against her lips.
Then they heard the door opening. Korama paused when he heard the sound instead of backing away. Hiei entered the room and saw them in the position. Korama quickly backed away from Hikage and explained himself by saying " Hiei do you like her hair. I just braided her hair. She had a loose hair, but I fixed it." Hiei grunted and then went to lay in his bed. Hikage walked back to her bed and laid in her bed and pulled the covers over her body.
AFTER TWENTY MINUTES
Korama was asleep. Hiei knew that Hikage was still awake. He then said "Korama is quite fond of you Ms. Hikage." Hikage responded by saying " Really? I never noticed." she said dazed from her tiredness. Hiei said " He thinks you're beautiful in every way. I've seen the way he looks at you. I think he likes you. A lot." Hikage then said " You could be right." Hiei then asked her " The announcer said your first fight was a grudge match. What was the grudge you had against the man?" Hikage then answered " He killed one of my friends." She lied, but he didn't know that.

I'll be working on including the rest of the team in the next episode. I'll most likely be putting more focus on the details of clothes, expressions, maybe scenery if I don't get too lazy. Thanks for reading though.
