A/N: Hello everyone! So I was right in posting it here. I got a lot more views this way. I will say this chapter was a bit difficult to write. I tried my best to make it as good as I possibly could. For those of you eagerly waiting for information on how Kira and Hiei met, stay tuned for chapter 3: How it all began...

To answer my very first review, I have no clue about Hiei's past. I haven't watched/read everything yet so I'm trying my best to make this story work. Thank you for your support though I appreciate it.

Let me know how this chapter turned out if it's good or not.

Without further ado, I give you Chapter 2: The Rescue.

Hiei's POV:

I got to the compound where Yukina was being held...only to be yanked back by a familiar scent. The detective.

"How the hell did you catch up with me so fast?" I grumbled.

"Well I figured you would be feeling left out. I came ahead of Kurama and Kuwabara to come stop you." Yusuke roughly throws me across the clearing.

I sumersaulted in midair and landed on my feet. "Stop me? Ha! Don't make me laugh." I pulled out my sword. "I will cut you down if I have to."

MEANWHILE...

Kira's POV:

I wake up again after being beat senseless. I smirk. They haven't broken me yet. I hear tiny sobs from a corner. I sigh, it's Yukina.

"I'm okay, Yukina. That didn't hurt me at all." I soothed. I went over to her and wiped away the pearls leaking from her eyes. (Are they pearls? Or am I thinking of another anime?)

Then, I notice the corner she is huddled in. A hole, the size of my head was where the crevice was. Hmmmmmm. Idea time.

"Yukina, look at me." She does eyes red but otherwise not crying. "Can you shift into a small animal?"

She nods, confused. "Yes, but-"

"But nothing. I can change into a wolf but not a small animal. I believe your spirit animal is a rabbit. All I ask is that you conjure enough magic to shapeshift me into a rabbit as well. That way, we can get through that hole."

Yukina notices the hole, finally. She gasps. "Your right!"

"Shhh. Not so loud!" I hissed. "Hurry before they decide to come hurt me some more."

Yukina mutters a spell and a bluish white light envelopes me. I feel my body start to shift.

Soon I'm a small bunny. A minute later Yukina also turns into a bunny. We crawl out the hole and hop to the forest quickly. I shift back to human as the brief spell wore off and Yukina follows suit.

I climb a tree, hauling her up as well. "We need to get moving, climb on my back." She does and soon we are flitting through the trees.

After about 10 minutes, I hear voices. One vaguely familiar, the other unfamiliar to my sharp demon ears.

"Caught up have you?" The familiar voice grumbles.

I froze. That was *Hiei.* That had to be! But, what was he doing here? Before I could even think of a reason, my body stings woth pain. My arms were cut up from my last bout of torture and I was losing blood, fast.

"Crap..." I mutter. Just what I needed. Before I could put Yukina down, I tumble out of the tree, blacking out.

Hiei's POV:

The oaf and Kurama caught up to us quickly. Hmph not surprising. I was still itching to kill someone, anyone. If Yusuke was going to get in my way then I would kill him.

My thoughts rattled in my mind as I tried to think up a way of getting away from these idiots and going after Yukina myself. But something cracked and next thing I know I had caught a girl, no two girls, falling out of the tree above me.

I wouldn't say caught was the word. Rather they fell on me. I pushed them off me and realized Yukina was one of them and the other...my breath caught.

*Kira* My eyes widen in surprise. I hadn't seen her in 2 years. What was she doing here?

Kurama's voice interrupted my thoughts. "Hiei, is that...?"

I nodded, too stunned to speak.

Yukina groaned and opened her eyes. She gasps at the sight of Kira. "Kira!" She cries out, wrenching her away from me. Yusuke rushes over.

"What's happening?" The idiot Kuwabara said.

Yukina looks at me. "Who are you?"

Before I could answer, Kurama spoke. "We came to rescue you, but it seems you already had a savior."

"No! You have it all wrong! Kira was tortured. They also tried to make her cry." Yukina eyes welled up with tears. "They did all this horrible stuff to her, oh!"

I said nothing. Anger boiling in my veins, hot like the fire I control. I bit back a growl. Nobody gets away with that. Not with hurting her...

"Hiei, calm down" Yusuke says. "We have to get her to Genkai."

My anger quickly changes to worry and concern. I pick up Kira and hoist her on my back.

"Then let's hurry up." I ground out, every muscle aching to go rip apart her captors.

A/N: What do you think? Did you like it? I know the bunny thing may have been a little weird but I had no clue how to execute that part of the story.

I hope you enjoyed this and I will also be uploading chapter's 4 and 5 probably today because I have them already written on paper.

Stay tuned for Chapter 3: How it all began...
