Hiei shifted the covers away from him as he sat up, he rubbed his eyes and fought to join the world of the living. He stood up, stretching and pulled on a shirt before exiting the room. He walked downt ehd hallway to the kitchen where his sister was making coffee.

"Good morning, Hiei-San" Yukina said with a smile as she did every morning.

"Morning"

"Where were you yesterday?" she asked while sliding a cup of sweetened coffee his way. She waited.

"Long story…."

"Im free all day," her way of saying: spill it.

"Later okay?"

"whatever," she paused. "Someone wants to see you." Hiei raised an eyebrow, "Shes been waiting all day yesterday, though shes asleep right now."

"Its not Mukuro is it?"

Yukina let out a smile laugh. "No."

"Well, either way, I don't want to see her."

Throughout the entire conversation, Selena had been listening in the dark hall, leaning against the wall so they couldn't see her. She felt tears welling in her small eyes.

"What?" gasped Yukina

"I don't want to see her."

"Hiei! Shes been waiting a long time."

"That's her problem, not mine. I don't want to see her." He hopped down from the chair, taking the coffee cup with him as he hopped onto the window sill. "Thanks for this." He said holding up the cup and taking a sip.

"Why not?"

"Hm?" Hiei had lost intrest in the conversation.

"Why dont you want to see her?" Yukina followed her brother over to the window sill.

"I just dont want to. Probably someone wanting something from me."

"Well of course she'll want something from you!"

"see?"

"Hiei! She's your daughter!" Hiei gave a confused look.

"Daughter? I dont have a..." he stopped. He just stared down at his feet for a moment before putting down the cup of coffee and hoping off the window. "Where is she?"

"In the spare room."

Hiei began walking toward the hall as Selena dashed back into her room and quickly slid underneath the covers. She buried her face in the pillows. She heard a creak as the door opened. Selena heard footsteps coming closer to her, then felt weight being put on the mattress. She closed her eyes, trying to seem as asleep as possible.

Hiei lifted her form the bed and pulled her into his lap so he could get a better look at her. A tear ran down her face as her eyes blinked open. Hiei was shocked to find that she had the same deep red eyes as him. Selena jumped a little.

"You wanted to see me?"

Selena sat up and nodded.

"Well?"

"I...I...well, did you ever know a half-breed named Marcy Clairihon?"

"Yes...What about her?"

"I believe...well excuse me, but I believe something happened between you two about nine years ago."

Surprize flitted across Hiei's features, buit his usual expression quickly returned with a raised eye brow. "Yes something happened. I was drunk adn she was desperate."

"Then... I believe... I am your daughter..."

Hiei stared at her for a moment, only a moment, before looking off into space. "Its true, I knew her. She robbed me of every ounce of love and heart i had. She is an ugly person. But i am sorry, I honestly never knew..." -liar-

Selena tried hard to force back tears. "I really was a mistake" she thought she swallowed and said, "Thank you for your time... I will be leaving now."

"Why did you come?"

"I just wanted to know who my father was. By the way...My name's Selena."

with that she ran out of the temple as fast as her legs would carry her, hopping through trees and dodging rocks.

Yukina ran to the entrance as Hiei entered the room. "What happened?" she demanded.

"Shes my daughter," Hiei said vaguely. He immediately acitavted his mind's eye. He found Selena at the lake in the woods, she dove into the water and took a deep breathe under water. she was trying to drown herself.

"Idiot girl!" Hiei exclaimed and burst out of the temple.

Hiei appeared at the lake within moments and dove into the water, searching for Selena. He found her at the bottom of the lake, unconious. He hugged her to his body and kicked to the surface as fast has his body would allow. Once he came to the surface her pulled Selena up onto his back, making sure her face was out of the water so she could get air.

When Selena awoke, Hiei was pacing in front of her. Selena blinked as she slipped back into the living world. She looked at the cieling for a while until she finally realized where she was. She was back at Genkai's temple, laying on the couch. SHe slowly sat up. She wondered how on earth she had gotten there. Suddenly the anwser was clear. Hiei was in front of her, glaring.

"Why the hell did you do that?" he asked as if he were scolding her. "I AM expecting an answer."

"I was an accident," Hiei lifted an eyebrow, as if he didnt understand.So Selena explained. "to much alcohol and a slut."

"Watch your mouth."

Selena smirked a little, but only a little. "Sorry." Selena looked away from him as if she wasnt even worthy to even have eye contact with him. Hiei sighed, he sat down next to her staring at nothing in particular.

"How you were born doesnt matter. Alot of accidents happen, people fail every single day, but you dont see everyone trying to drown themselves do you?" Selena didnt anwser, so Hiei pressed. "DO YOU?"

Selena shook her head.

"Why dont you go back to bed," sudjested Hiei

Selena nodded and walked down the hallway to the room she had slept in the night before. She'd known him for merely a few hours and already angered him. She MUST be a devil child.

Sliding back under the covers, Selena fought back the urge to hit something. How had he gotten to her so quickly? Did she scream. and if so, he must have very good hearing. She pulled the covers up to her nose, trying to force herself to sleep instead of wondering. She'd already angered him, no need to defy and infiritate him more.

Hiei walked over to the fridge and pulled out a gallon of orange juice. He pored the orange, pulpy mixture into a clear glass and walked down the hall to where Selena was trying to sleep. Opening the door, Hiei knew she wasnt asleep. He walked in and said "Dont pretend, I know you arent asleep." Selena opened her eyes to look at his crimson eyes, then she turned away once again.

He placed the glass onto the side table next to the bed. "Drink this."

She stared at it for a moment, then obidently grabbed the glass and began to chug it. Hiei grabbed her arm, stopping her from gulping it down.

"Slow down. If you are that thirsty, I will get you a bottle of water." Selena set the glass back down, wincing as she swallowed and digging her fingernails into her knees.

"Whats in it?" She asked.

Hiei raised an eyebrow. "Orange juice, maybe some pulp.

"No poison...or sleeping pills."

Hiei narrowed his eyes in confusion. "Why would I put poisen in it?"

Selena's head lowered briefly. "Well, mother and Fred always did when they gave me something to drink." She lowered her head even more, so much, her ears were level with her shoulders."They'd beat me if I didnt drink it quickly."

Hiei looked at her in disbelief, jaw dropping and all. Suddenly, his expression became one of discust and he stared in front of him. "What type of demons do that to thier own child?"

"Humans."

Hiei sighed, he reached to ruffle her hair and she flintched. After a moment, he did ruffle it. She looked up at him innocentally. He stood up and said, "You dont have to sleep, but try to rest."

"Yes sir," She smiled. Hiei left the room.
