A/N: hey everyone. This story is finally coming to an end. After this chapter, I will have one more to post, the chapter where they finally go home, and then I will be done! Yeah! After this story finishes, I will be focusing on my other two stories but I am also working on another one. I have already written, (written, not posted) the first three chapters but won't do anything with it until I at least finish this story. I put a pole on my profile asking people to vote which story I should focus on first and the majority of you wanted my story "The Worst Case". I will do that next but as I have only two chapters left in this one, well this chapter and the next chapter, I am going to end this first. The chapters may seem a bit rushed, I apologize, but I tried to get it right without messing it up. I think I failed but oh well. At least I finally finished my first story.

DISCLAIMERS were at the beginning but I will say it one last time. I do not own Digimon or Yu Yu Hakusho. Don't sue cuz I don't have any money. If I did, I would have bought my own laptop instead of always using my friends. So nyeh!



Chapter Seven: Tai Meets Hiei

Tai stumbled through the forest, at first walking through with extreme caution, trying not to touch any of the plants in case they tried to eat him. However, as he continued to walk, he started getting more and more aggravated as he tripped for the umpteenth time so far. "Darn it, Kari. Where are you?" he mumbled grumpily, carelessly shoving plants out of his way. One plant that he had shoved decided to try and eat his hand. "Back off!" he snapped, punching the plant. The plant recoiled and remained motionless.

As he walked, Tai was suddenly getting the feeling that he was no longer alone. Stopping, he quickly searched the area, trying to find whoever was making him feel uncomfortable. Then he got an idea and closed his eyes, using his earlier ability to find the other energy. After a while of searching, he found it. He couldn't see it but he could feel a power heading towards the direction that Kari was going in. "You leave my sister alone!" he shouted, suddenly charging in the direction their energies were going in.

After blundering noisily through the forest for another ten minutes, he started hearing voices. Quieting down a bit, he crept through a bush without realizing it and poked his head out from around a tree in time to see a boy about his age with black spiky hair push a smaller girl to the ground and sit on top of her. When Tai got a closer look, he noticed that the girl was actually his sister, Kari.

"You jerk!" he shouted, bursting through the trees and swinging the bundle he had been carrying at the boy. "Get off of her! Let her go!"

Hiei smirked and ducked, letting the bundle fly over his head before straightening back up. He was about to say something when he was once again flipped onto his back, the girl now on him again. "Get off." He growled.

"No, you pushed me. That was rude. Now I'm going to have to teach you another lesson." Kari said. And before Hiei could reply, Kari shoved her hands into his sides again. "Now say you're sorry."

Hiei, not anticipating the action, suddenly convulsed and started laughing. "Not again." He cried through his laughter. "S-sstop ittt!"

"Say sorry." Kari demanded.

Tai, who had been watching the entire thing, suddenly didn't know what to do. On one hand, he wanted to get his sister away from this kid, especially since this guy seriously seemed like he wanted to hurt her. On the other hand, it had been a long time since he last saw Kari this happy when she was with someone other than him or T.K. "Um, Kari."

"Hang on, Tai." She said, still tickling Hiei. "Say sorry and I'll let you go."

"Okay, oka-haay." Hiei cried. "I'm sssorrryyy!"

Immediately Kari let him go and got off, then turned to her brother. "Hi, Tai."

"Hi." He said, and then stopped. "Wait, what do you mean 'hi'? What are you doing here?"

"I don't know." She said with a shrug. "One minute we were in my room, the next minute we're here. Then I lost T.K. because I think he found an animal or something and wandered off. I started to follow him but then I found this stinky boy instead."

Both of them turned to look at Hiei, who was still lying on the ground, breathing hard. Slowly he sat up and glared at them. "I hate you." He said to Kari.

"I know. But you'll get over it." Kari said.

"No I won't. You're insane. There's no way you're human." Hiei snapped.

Tai narrowed his eyes at him. "What's that supposed to mean?" he asked. "You talk as if you aren't one."

"I'm not." Hiei replied. "I'm a demon."

"A cute demon." Kari said, and then added, "One who smells like dirt."

Hiei glared at her. "Stop saying that! I'm not cute and I don't stink!"

"You are too and you do to." She said.

"Okay, enough." Tai snapped. Geez, why am I the babysitter?' he thought. "I don't care. We need to find the others and go home before mom and dad find out we're gone."

"The others?" Kari asked. "What others?"

"There are more of you?" Hiei asked incredulously. "Why the hell are all of these humans here?"

"We got here through a hole on my closet door that I made by accident." Kari said. Then she turned to her brother. "How did you get here? And who else is here?"

"It's just me and Matt." Tai explained. "We found your room empty and then we found that circle-hole-thing and when Matt touched it he said he could feel your energy on it so then I touched it and imagined that I was making a hole like yours that would lead me to wherever you went and that was it. Oh, and we brought some sandwiches and stuff for you guys."

Kari turned to Hiei. "You want one?"

"Want one what?" Hiei asked suspiciously.

"A sandwich, duh. They're good." She added.

"What's a sandwich?" Hiei asked, annoyed that she had managed to peak his curiosity.

Kari's eyes widened. "You don't know what a sandwich is? What do you eat during lunch time?"

Hiei shrugged. "I was going to eat a rabbit, but you had to go and push me out of the tree and scare it off."

"I didn't push you; you fell on your own." Kari said. She took one of the sandwiches from Tai, who had pulled them out of the bundle while they argued, and handed it to Hiei. "Here, try one."

Hiei glared at her, then at Tai, and back again before taking the sandwich. Then he sniffed it. "It doesn't smell very appetizing."

"You have to take it out of the plastic." Tai said helpfully. "Open it from the top."

Hiei turned it until the only different side, which he assumed was the top, was facing upwards and then pulled them apart, creating an opening in the 'plastic' and pulling out the 'sandwich'. Hiei sniffed it, self-consciously aware that the other two were watching him. Then he brought the sandwich to his mouth and took a small bite of the brown corner. After a few moments of chewing, he made a face. "This doesn't taste very good."

Kari giggled while Tai looked at him with a grin. "You might be one of those types who don't like the crust. Try pealing the crust off, the brown part, and eating the white part." Tai pulled out another sandwich and handed it to Kari and then pulled one out for himself. Careful not to drop it, Tai took the sandwich out of the baggie and, being one of those who don't like the crust, pulled it off and showed the rest of the sandwich to Hiei before taking a bite.

Hiei stared at him a moment before pulling off the 'crust' and taking another small bite. After a few moments, he took another bigger bite. "This tastes better." He said.

"See." Tai said as he ate. After they had all eaten their sandwich, Tai brushed the crumbs from his shirt and turned to Kari. "Okay, now we really need to go. We have to find the others."

Kari nodded. "Right." Then she turned to Hiei. "Want to come?"

Hiei raised an eyebrow. "Why would I want to go anywhere with you?"

"Because we gave you food." Kari replied calmly.

Hiei glared at her and was about to make a remark when he froze, eyes narrowing.

"What's wrong?" Tai asked, tensing at the look on the demon's face.

"There's another demon coming." He said quietly, pulling out his katana and facing the direction Tai had come from. "A strong one. And he has an unusual energy with him. Kind of like yours." He said to Kari, and then turned to Tai. "And yours."

All three of them tensed, waiting for whatever was coming to show itself. Tai pushed Kari behind him, prepared to fight whatever came, knowing full well that there was no way he could fight a demon.
