Chapter 7

The person was Rui! She slipped into the room and slid the door shut quietly.

"What do you want?" he asked in a scratchy voice.

"Don't talk! Eat this and show me your wounds," Rui said in a gentle but firm voice handing him a slice of bread and a thermos of warm tea. She knew he must be hungry, the Elders had caught him three days ago but his lack of ki, wounds, and cold. In a flurry of movement Rui was pinned to the wall with her feet barely touching the ground. A hand gripped her windpipe, blocking it. She dropped the food was she carrying and put her hands to where Hiei held her trying in vain to loosen his grip on her throat. The hand holding her throat was trembling with exhaustion.

"What do you think you are doing? You threw me off this VERY ISLAND! NOW YOU ARE HELPING ME!" Hiei yell in a hushed voice. His crimson eyes glowed with hate and confusion.

"Mommy! Are you okay? Do you want me to come in?" questioned a frightened and timid voice of Xavia.

'What is she doing here?" questioned Hiei while tightening his grip on Rui's throat and shoving her harder against the wooden wall.

Rui's eyes shut tight and winced. She was going lightheaded from lack of oxygen.

"What is she doing here?" Hiei questioned more urgently.

"I… I … can't… breathe!"

Hiei loosened his grip only enough for her to speak.

"Xavia! Come in and shut the door behind you! Quickly!" yelled Rui to her daughter who was just out side the room. Hiei growled and tightened his grip so Rui started to thrash around trying to unblock her windpipe.

Xavia rush into the room but froze the moment she saw her mother being strangled.

"Y… you r…really are a monster?" she stuttered. I was wrong! I thought he was innocent and hadn't done anything to our village! , Thought Xavia before she started to cry blue tear gems.

Hiei stood shocked at the young Koorime. She didn't think I wasn't a monster. Did she convince her mother to come and feed me?

"Onna, did you convince your mother to help me?" Hiei questioned Xavia who just cried. Subconsciously Hiei took his hand away from Rui's neck and turned to face Xavia.

"WELL?" asked Hiei this time more harshly.

"Leave her alone! Yes! She was the one who convinced me I should help you!" snapped Rui angry that Hiei was so ungrateful.

"How DARE you yell at my daughter when all she wanted to do was take care of your wounds and give you food that the Elders won't give you!"

Rui then moved in front of Xavia and began to comfort her by stroking her hair and making 'shushing' sounds. Hiei moved away from the two upset Koorime. He sat down against the wall exhausted.

Why would she want to help me? Now I scared her and I feel… guilty. I shouldn't feel this! I have done worse things than this.

Hiei sat crouched near the wall prepared to move incase the angry mother wanted to hurt him but he still watched the young girl in front of him calm down wondering what she will do to him now after he choked her mother.

"Come on darling apparently he doesn't want any help!" spat Rui angry at the fire apparition and started to lead her daughter away from the male demon. Xavia began to follow her mother out but stopped and turned around and picked up the discarded thermos and bread. She cautiously walked towards the area where Hiei sat watching them with unreadable orbs and placed the items on the floor a meter away from the watchful demon.

" I'll get the thermos in the morning. Good night," she whispered as she backed away from him and left the darkness to swallow Hiei and his thoughts.

After a few minutes Hiei crawled over to where Xavia placed the food. His whole body was slowly shutting down for the night and he had to eat the food before day crept up on him. He slowly munched on the bread he couldn't eat to fast or else his stomach would just push it out. Once he finished he sipped the warm peppermint tea feeling its warmth spread through out his body, easing his sore and cold muscles. After he hid the thermos under some straw and fell in to a dreamless sleep unaware two eyes were carefully watching him.

(Should I stop here? Hmm… sees angry mob. Sweat drops. I think I will keep writing)

Koenma glared at the screen in front of him. The first night he could hardly sleep now he is sleeping like a rock. Heheheheh I guess he isn't as invincible as he acts. But I should make my move on Botan if I want to win her affection before Hiei comes back. If he dose but I don't plan on it!

"Ogre, postpone any meetings I have tomorrow and give Botan a week worth of vacation got it?" commanded the baby ruler of Spirit World.

"Yes your majesty anything else?"

"Yes make sure the Spirit detective they are off for a week."

"Very good sire."

"Good night, Ogre."

"Good night, Your Majesty."

With out another word Koenma walked off to his chamber to rest and ponder what he can to earn Botan's love.

So now i won't be getting questions on what the heck were those strange eyes that were watching Hiei in chapter 3! It was Koenma!

the next chapter will be mostly about Koenma trying to woo Botan and then Kurama tells the others about where and why Hiei is gone! Maybe some torture for Hiei!

Hoped you enjoyed this chapter! i need 40 reviews before i put up the next chapter which will be probably full of Koenma making a fool of himself! well we will see soon it depends on the reviews!
