ME!!!!!!!!! YAY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Hiei rolled his shoulders to relax the tension of a night stakeout always sprung up in him. He looked at the bed again, his eyes narrowing as the girl turned over again, mumbling something in her sleep. He had been watching her sleep for the past few days. He had so many opportunities to just slice her head off and be done with it, but he never did it, why?

He had been bested, even slightly as she had, by a human before, so why did he feel like this? He wanted to disembowel her, and yet look at her at the same time. She wasn't as beautiful as some of the women, or female demons he had known in the past intimately, but there was a quality about her that fascinated him, that stayed the hand on his katana, that made him want to sit back and to wait…to watch.

He shook his head and shifted on his perch on the windowsill. She was only a human girl, she had no spirit energy at all practically, if anything, she didn't have enough. Hiei froze.

Not enough?

He leaped gracefully and soundlessly from his perch and stalked over to the bed and pressed two fingers against the delicate, exposed neck of the human girl.

She had a steady pulse, nothing out of the ordinary.

Hiei shook his head in disgust, humans must be able to be weak to the point of practically not existing on the spiritual plane.

He was about to resume his vigil, when a flash of silver streaked outside the window, and he went after it.

He leaped onto the roof, and saw what had been waiting for him.

Probably male, the creature, demon most likely, stood 5"6' or so, it had thin, elongated arms which hung to nearly its' knees and seemed to be hunched over.

When it stood up, it was almost 6", and Hiei got a really good look at it in the moonlight. It had muddy looking hair that could be either brownish or red in the light that hung over it's forehead tousled. It had white gloves with the fingertips cut off, yellow-spotted purple pants, MC Hammer pants he had heard Kurama describe to him before, and silver, sleeveless shirt. Black shoes, and a white mask completed the outfit. The mask had no mouth hole, and no eye holes either. There was a black diamond where the left eye should have been, and a maybe gold star where the right should have been.

Hiei almost laughed when he realized what it was, a Jester demon, which he had thought had been extinct for a few hundred years. But it was true that they could adapt their appearances for the times, otherwise he might be wearing the belled hat and pointy belled shoes still.

Hiei was about to ask what the hell it wanted, when a eye did appear on it's face, but not where it should have been.

Right in the middle of its white masked forehead, the demon was now sporting a Jagan eye. And from what Hiei could tell, there was something different about the eye…it was silver, not violet, and it was crying bloody tears.

Hiei unsheathed his katana as his own Jagan eye tried to talk to the Jester demon's, but from what he could make out from the images the eye produced, the other eye wasn't being allowed to speak.

Hiei narrowed his eyes and spoke in an icily calm voice, "What do you want?"

The jester looked at him, or seemed to look in his direction, and a high pitched, whine type of a laugh started resonating from his body, "WHAT DO I WANT?? WHAT DO I WANT?? I WANT HER TO SHUT UP!! TO SHUT UP!!!"

He reached up with his large hands and started scratching at the eye, "It burns! It itches! It screams to me! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"

He looked at Hiei again, the eye crying more, "YOU! You can help it to stop! To make her shut up! Give it to me! I'll rip your head off and eat it!"

Hiei had heard similar threats and just shrugged mentally, "Eat what?"

"THE EYE!!! GIVE ME YOUR EYE!!!"

Hiei shifted one foot back and the demon attacked. It relied mostly on its long arms and intense sensory awareness to fight, and Hiei soon found his pattern and rhythm and was hacking away at him bit by bit.

"You should stop this. You can't win against me, if you can't even control your Jagan eye-"

Hiei would have continued, but it was just then that the creature remembered that the eye had powers, even though he was fighting certain side effects of the eye and froze Hiei in place, in mid-swing.

"CAN'T CONTROL THE EYE, HUH?" He started to laugh again, the high-pitch getting higher, "It will be gone soon, GONE!"

He leaped on Hiei, making him fall prone to the ground and started digging for the eye, "I HAVE THE MOTHER! SHE CONTROLS ALL HER CHILDREN! You can't fight the mother! SHE SCREAMS TO ME! SHE SCREAMS!!"

He continued to dig, blood staining his white gloves red while Hiei screamed in pain in his head, when he heard a gasp behind him, and whipped his head around, sensing since he couldn't see.

Eimaj gave the clown looking thing huge emerald eyes. She had woken up from the noise, and after grabbing her cell phone in case she needed to call the cops, climbed onto the roof.

The jester gave one look at the girl, gave a high pitched screech, and crawled off of the fire demon, now unconscious, and took off in flight off the roof, disappearing in a cloud of rainbow haze it could produce at will.

Eimaj slowly inched her way over to Hiei, who was still laying down.

She got a peek at his face, after the moon came out from behind the could and almost screamed. That…thing, had tried to gouge the eye out, there were deep, bloody scratch marks all over Hiei's face, and it looked like the monster might have hit something important because he was bleeding a whole lot.

She shipped off her soft cotton bathrobe, ripped off a good chunk, and held it to Hiei's neck while she called Keiko with one hand, she would know what to do.

SORRY!!!!!!! Just had to get that out!!!!!!!! Next chapter out SOON!!!!!!! I promise!!!!!!
