lostmoonchild: Thanks everybody for reviewing! This chapter will be dedicated to a couple people for telling me what they thought the beginning should be. So in order to prevent somebody from dying of anticipation, here's chapter seven! I don't own YYH or any of the songs unless I say otherwise. Characters who aren't part of YYH are mine so don't sue.

Chapter Seven

Danielle yawned as she walked into the living room and messed her hair up a little as she started making some coffee. She and Hiei had talked the previous night and had actually established some rules about how they'd act around each other. If Hiei didn't try to be so dominating, she'd be more respectful and less hardheaded. But unfortunately anybody who knew her growing up knew that she wouldn't give being disrespectful or hardheaded up so easily.

She sighed and looked confused when she realized that August wasn't up yet. Normally she'd be up after the coffee was done since she was usually complaining about the smell waking her up. "Something's probably wrong.." Danielle said looking concerned as she knocked on August and Kurama's bedroom door and waited for a few minutes. "Hmm.. No answer.. Now I know something's wrong."

She opened the door a little bit and made a face when she saw Kurama and August sound asleep, the only thing covering them was a sheet. She considered for a minute waking them up and shouting at them but when she smelt the air, there was only the scent of lust. Not the scent of sex that she had known so well growing up.

Danielle sighed and closed the door before heading back to her and Hiei's room to get the clothes she'd be wearing for the day. After five minutes she retreated to the bathroom and locked the door behind her before taking a shower. When she got out, she saw August looking at the list of people they'd be fighting for the day. "Busted." Danielle said starting to make some breakfast.

"What do you mean?"

"You and Kurama."

"We didn't do anything." August said quickly.

Danielle sat down in front of August and stared at her calmly. "Aug, you can't lie to me worth a shit." Danielle remarked. "I know you and Kurama did something last night."

A blush formed on August's face as she said, "I couldn't get comfortable so Kurama helped me."

"You two didn't…"

"No! Apparently he has plans for me."

"Just as long as you two didn't have sex."

August laughed and said, "Don't worry, Danny, I wouldn't let Kuarma get me pregnant until later."

"Much later hopefully." Danielle said turning back to breakfast. "Can you wake everybody up?"

"Sure."

After everybody had eaten breakfast they immediately went down the to the fighting arena. "Nervous?" Danielle asked glancing at Evan.

"N-no! Why would I be nervous?" Evan asked looking insulted.

"Its good to be nervous. Keeps you alert." Danielle said watching the opposing team warm up. "August, do any of those guys look familiar?"

"No." August answered. "Maybe the next team."

"You have the biggest slut that I know of for a sister and you mean she's never slept with any of those guys?" Danielle asked looking surprised.

"She could have slept with them before I was born." August said calmly. "God knows she's already slept with Youko."

Kurama made a guilty look when August shot a glare at him and said, "Not my fault!"

Danielle laughed and said, "Kitsunes never know when to keep their clothes on."

"I'll pretend that was a compliment." Kurama and August said at the same time.

Everybody started laughing at the two kitsunes and calmed down when Hiei and Danielle walked into the ring to talk with the other team's captains. "Three fights today." Danielle said ten minutes later. "Is that even allowed in the rules, Hiei?"

"Yes." Hiei answered calmly. "Now you all listen, reserve as much energy as you can, we'll be fighting against three teams today instead of just one."

"WHAT!" Kuwabara shouted looking shocked.

"If you're lucky, Kuwabara, you and Evan won't have to fight today." Danielle said calmly looking at the tall human. "The teams aren't pushovers and neither are we so we'll have to simply outsmart them which shouldn't be too hard. We've got two fox demons on our side."

"Think about it for a minute, baka onna." Hiei said. "What's one reason your father bothered inviting you?"

"To rid himself of a filthy hanyou daughter." Danielle said simply just as the announcer started talking. "Not like I care much, I'm gonna kill him anyway."

A few hours later they had won the first two fights against two of the teams and were about to face the third team. "Evan, you're fighting first." Danielle said tending to a very pissed off Hiei.

"I can fight just fine, onna!" Hiei shouted.

"You can't even stand properly without nearly falling over!" Danielle snapped still tending to Hiei's wounds. "How's everybody else's wounds?"

"We'll live." Kurama said wincing.

Yusuke nodded and said, "I'll be alright, Danny."

Danielle nodded and looked at Kuwabara and Evan. "Alright, you two, you both have the pleasure of being the first two fighting so I suggest don't get killed."

"What? No pep talk?" Evan asked with a grin.

"Remember we're fighting for our family and loved ones. If we fuck up and lose, they're screwed. Get killed, I'm the one who has to tell your families what happened." Danielle said with a sigh.

Evan nodded and said, "Now THAT, Kuwabara, is one of Danny's pep talks. She tells us what we're fighting for and what happens if we lose."

"Hell, if you guys don't get killed I'll personally give you two one of those stupid magazines you both like to look at." August promised.

"Works for me!" Evan said with a perverted grin. "But there's one condition."

"What?" Danielle asked.

Evan grinned and said, "Easy. You two give me pictures of you two so I can paste it over the model's faces. That way I can pretend you two posed for those pictures."

Hiei growled and glared at Evan, disgusted at the human teenager. Danielle was HIS and nobody else's. If he had to make that point clear to every human and demon male that even looked at Danielle funny, he would. But first, he'd have to make that little fact clear to Danielle.

"Team Jaganshi, are you ready!" The announcer shouted looking impatient.

Evan grinned and jumped up before running into the ring. "I'm ready!" Evan shouted.

"Captains, are you sure you want to use an alternate first?" The announcer asked.

"Hiei?" Danielle questioned.

"Hn."
"Unfortunately, we're sure." Danielle said.

The announcer looked doubtful but nodded anyway. "I have never seen this before, ladies and gentlemen, Team Jaganshi has just sent in an alter… PERVERT!" The announcer screamed.

Danielle and August started laughing until they fell over. "JUST FOR YOU, FATHER!" Danielle shouted laughing. "THAT SHOULD PROVE SOME HUMANS DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHO THEY TOUCH!"

Yusuke started laughing and they watched as a woman from the other team walked onto the fighting arena. "Oh shit, he's screwed." August said. "I know her, she's a pretty tough fighter."

"You're sure?" Danielle asked.

"She got into a fight with one of my brothers and kicked his ass."

"When was this?"

"About a century ago."

"Evan! Be careful with her! She kicked the asshole's ass!" Danielle shouted.

Evan looked back at Danielle and shouted, "Don't worry, honey! I'll save enough energy to satisfy your needs!"

"SATISFY THE NEED FOR YOU TO STAY ALIVE SO I CAN KILL YOU LATER!"

Evan grinned and flipped Danielle off before starting to fight with the demoness. "You bastard!" The demoness shouted when Evan punched her.

"And you're a hottie." Evan said with a smile. "You can worship the God of Love. Which would be me."

The demoness smirked and punched Evan as hard as she could before pinning him against the floor. "I don't worship humans." The demoness said with a smirk.

Evan shrugged just as the announcer started counting before kicking the demoness in the head. "You're lucky you aren't fighting my bitch of a boss. She REALLY gets irritated easily." Evan said with a laugh as he and the demon started exchanging punches again.

"QUIT INSULTING ME AND GET TO WORK!" Danielle screamed in English.

"This is amazing, ladies and gentlemen, Team Jaganshi's co-captain is yelling at Evan. Remember, captains and co-captains can't shout advice to their teammates."

"I was telling him to stop insulting me." Danielle shouted at the announcer.

----August's POV---

I watched with slightly worried eyes as Evan fought against the demoness. I could tell that the demoness was playing with Evan and from the look on his face, he knew it too. Everybody who knew Evan best, knew he hated to be toyed around with. Nobody, not even his sister or Danny, had enough nerve to mess around with Evan.

"EVAN!" Danny screamed, her red violet eyes showing fear as Evan grabbed the demoness and she started clawing at him.

Hiei and Yusuke both grabbed Danielle to try and keep her from running into the ring. "You'll be killed!" Yusuke said.

"MY IDIOT WILL BE KILLED!" Danielle screamed.

Hiei managed to get Danielle to the ground and sat on her, earning some members of the crowd to start talking. Hiei allowed Danielle to get up once Evan had managed to blow the demoness into oblivion.

"Damn it, this team is tough." Evan said falling over.

Danielle smiled and kissed Evan on the cheek, showing she was pleased. "Don't worry, we'll get you healed up. The girls just stopped by and have a room all their own near ours." Danielle said watching as Kuwabara stared at her.

"My beloved Yuk---!" Kuwabara said before Hiei covered his mouth.

"Shut up, you fool, or else those demons will attempt to make a meal out of Yukina." Hiei growled between clenched teeth. "Understand?"

When Hiei uncovered Kuwabara's mouth, Kuwabara nodded in understanding. "Demons aren't always as considerate as most humans." Danielle said explained. "Which means your code of honor will have to go down the toilet for a while."

I nodded and said, "Danny's right. Demons aren't always nice when it comes to a potential mate."

I knew perfectly well the relation between Hiei and Yukina. But Kuwabara didn't know anything about how Yukina and Hiei were truly connected so I had to pretend not to know. Unfortunately, my comment had both irritated Hiei and confused Kuwabara. Something I had always tried to avoid unless it was with my brothers and sisters.

Danny's face showed pure amusement as Kuwabara walked with some confidence onto the ring. They watched as a demon with long fiery red hair jumped into the ring. "AND KUWABARA IS UNCONCIOUS!" The announcer shouted after five minutes of watching Kuwabara get beat senseless.

Danielle got up and dragged Kuwabara out of the ring before standing proudly in the middle of the ring. She winked at Hiei before shouting, "ANY PERSON ON THE OTHER TEAM WHO CAN DEFEAT ME WILL EARN THE KNOWLEDGE THEY HAVE DEFEATED THE DAUGHTER OF ONE OF THE FIRE DEMON LORDS!"

Whispers filled the stadium and the whole team they were fighting rushed onto the fighting arena. "She's planning something." Yusuke said softly. "She never admits who her father is unless she has some twisted plan in mind."

---Hiei's POV---

She was royalty.

That explained somewhat why Roxanna chose to go to her killer's daughter. She didn't want to wait to be recognized by anybody and didn't think that her murderer expected her to be reborn as his daughter. If she took over a royalty's child's body, she would be recognized and nobody would know anything was wrong. But something must have gone wrong since Danielle was in control about 99 percent of the time and never let Roxanna out.

I felt anger growing in my chest as I watched Danielle fight. Roxanna had used a child to gain what she wanted and Danielle was the product of it. What else was Roxanna capable of doing? How long would she have stayed around if she was still alive and had given birth?

Before I knew it, Danielle was resting her head on my shoulder, obviously pleased with herself for tricking the entire team into fighting her. "Lets get back to the room." Danielle said helping me up.

I frowned slightly at Danielle and saw one of her eyes was violet. "We have to talk later." I said coldly. "So make sure Roxanna is listening since she's the one who's getting the talking to."

Danielle nodded slightly and helped Evan walk back to the hotel where we were greeted by the girls. "You guys shouldn't have been fighting in these states." Yukina scolded lightly.

"Hey, we kicked ass." Danielle stated proudly as she helped Evan into his room.

I growled slightly and grabbed Danielle's wrist once she had sat down next to me and pulled her into our room. "Start talking." I said coldly.

----Danielle's POV---

"Start talking." Hiei said coldly.

My heart started pounding loudly in my chest as I heart Roxanna start trying to explain herself. After all the time Hiei and I spent training together, I learned when he was talking to me and when he wasn't. Right now, he wasn't talking to me yet.

"onna.."

I stared at Hiei and automatically looked into his crimson eyes. "Yes?" I asked softly.

"Why isn't she talking now?" Hiei asked.

"Because she doesn't want to speak to you." I answered softly.

"Then answer me something."

"Yes?"

"Do you love me?"

I froze for a minute and stared at him in shock. He was asking something that's so unlike Hiei to ask. Normally he wouldn't ask if anybody loved him, no, he wouldn't care much. He clung to the fact he was a Forbidden Child and wouldn't allow anybody to love him for very long.

Shifting nervously, I stared at him. "Why do you ask a question like that? Are you feeling alright?"

"Answer, onna."

I questioned silently why he wanted to know and so I felt the need to answer but before I could say anything, Yusuke came into the room telling us to get into the living room since Koenma stopped by. I told Yusuke we'd be out once we got something settled. When Yusuke closed the door, I brushed my lips against Hiei's lips. "I was going to say before we were so rudely interrupted, I never kissed any guy on the lips other than you." I murmured looking at him. "That must mean something about how I feel, not Roxanna."

Before Hiei could do anything, I left the room leaving him alone. I knew from the way his energy felt right now, he was shocked. To be honest, I was too. Not at how we acted with each other in there, how he was taking the truth. I expected him to go into a rage, not ask how I felt about him.

But that made me wonder… how DID I feel about Hiei and how did he feel about me?
