Hey! I'm updating! Hurray! Okay I know this is a short chapter and I apologize for that, but I hope you all enjoy it!

Disclaimer: Pfft, as if I owned Yu Yu Hakusho, I would like too but I don't.

"Hiei!!"

Was all he could hear as he fell. It was happening again, he was falling from the accursed island again, and he knew Kaze was right, nobody was going to save him. Why would they? Nobody would benefit from saving him…

Hiei blinked as he noticed he wasn't falling anymore. He looked down around him and noticed he was laying on roots that had out grown from the sold rock. He felt a smirk cross his lips, Kurama was the only one he knew that could do this…

He looked around his body and cursed at the fact that he was tied up in wards. He tensed the muscles in his arms and tried to outstretch them, but the cloth was stronger then he expected.

The roots suddenly moved upwards back towards the cliff edge before depositing him there. Kurama rushed over to him as Yusuke kept Kaze busy and started to unwind the ward. "Hiei are you okay?" The redhead asked. Hiei looked at his bowed head and nodded his, feeling relieved as the ward was finally removed.

Hiei flexed his fingers as he felt his ki return and stood up. He looked up at the wind/ice demon and glared. "He's going to pay." He hissed, and was about to go back and attack Kaze when Kurama stopped him by placing a hand on his shoulder. Hiei looked over to the red-haired fox who was looking back.

Kurama didn't think Hiei would be up to fighting the yukata wearing demon. The small demon seemed to be hesitating even if he wouldn't admit. He had seen the fight before Kaze had tricked the small demon and he could tell that Hiei was holding back. It was like the crimson eyed demon saw it as training rather then a serious fight, and that concerned Kurama.

Crimson eyes locked with emerald ones, and Kurama sighed and retracted his hand. Hiei wasn't going to let anyone stop him, and the redhead was no exception. Hiei turned his head back around towards Kaze, and charged at Kaze his fist covering in flames.

Kaze turned to face him his grin widening and dodged Hiei's strikes, as graceful as the dancer he was. He twirled out of Hiei's distance with a teasing smile that he knew made Hiei furious.

Hiei glared at Kaze before running towards him again, he was going to kill Kaze…make him pay for what he did.

---------------Flashback----------------------

Jewels and gold of ever color and size gleamed in the fire-light. Pale hands tinted orange ran over the assortment with greedy fingers. "We got a good hall today." Said Kaze, his violet eyes sweeping over the priceless items.

Hiei snorted from his place on a pile of priceless cloth, "Like it matters." He said watching the fire dance above him lighting up the cave. Kaze pouted at him, "What's wrong firefly? You've been so cranky lately." And it was true. The last few days Hiei had been snappy and killing anything that was in there way swiftly.

Hiei swiftly stood up and turned to Kaze with a fierce glare, "You can stop pretending Kaze." He snapped causing Kaze to straighten with a look of confusion.

"Firefly I have no idea what you're-" He started to say but was cut off by Hiei as his glare sharpened, "Quit the bullshit Kaze. I heard your little 'discussion' with that slave trader."

Kaze's face lost it's confusion and gained a serious expression, "So you heard…" He muttered before smirking darkly, "You weren't suppose too firefly…" He hissed his eyes narrowing into slits.

Hiei glared at him, "No I didn't think so." He growled back and Kaze smirked, "Oh well I guess the cat's out of the bag." He said with a simple shrug.

Kaze turned his attention back to the treasure in front of him. Pale slender finger plucked a ruby from its perch as he raised it eye level and gazed at it intently. "But then again you shouldn't be so surprised; a prized gem like yourself should be treated like one."

He turned around and looked at Hiei with a narrowed lustful gaze, "And like every jewel you will be finely cut to perfection."

-------------End Flashback----------------------

Kaze blocked another strike and smirked, his firefly has certainly improved, much more then he last saw him, and still graceful as ever.

To think so long ago his firefly use to be stronger. He planned out everything to mold Hiei into the warrior before him, but he didn't expect the small demon to go and actually get a Jagan implant, but once Hiei put his mind to it, nothing could stop him.

Kaze twisted his body out of the way from another attack, admiring the way the muscles flexed under the slightly tanned skin. It was like steel being covered by silk. Hiei always gave false appearances which thrilled Kaze to no end, how there underestimation became there downfall.

But Kaze knew Hiei; he wouldn't make the same mistake as them.

Kaze grabbed onto Hiei's sword as it slid by, slicing his palms opening the process. Kaze grinned at him, "Firefly, why are you fighting me? I'm only helping you in your desire to destroy this isolated race."

Hiei glared at him, "If I wanted this race gone, I would've done it a long time ago." He spat, making no move to remove his sword, though his arm twitched from the dragon responding to his anger.

"Yes you could have, but why didn't you? Compassion, little one?"

"There's no point in killing what's already dead."

"I can see them very much alive firefly."

"There bodies might still pulse with life but there souls are as cold and deserted at the island they live on. There's no purpose on killing them if their souls are already there."

Kaze frowned, "Foolish…" He hissed and moved quickly hitting Hiei across the face, "Didn't I teach you better then that?"

Hiei resisted the urge to snort as he left his head turned to the side; Kaze taught him nothing. All Kaze really do was have sex with anything with a pretty face, and Hiei was apart of the hybrids list. When Hiei left the gang Kaze came after him, and traveled with him. Like many demon, Kaze got a thrill of blood being split, and always watched Hiei fight just like now.

Red eyes turned and looked t Kaze with familiar blankness, "All you taught me was how to give a proper blow job." He snarled and jerked his sword arm back, sending blood flying in the air, before slashing at Kaze again, slashing his shoulder badly.

Kaze let out a gasp and jumped up into the air and clutched the bleeding shoulder. Kaze frowned as he noticed he couldn't lift his arm, Hiei must've cut through the tendons in his shoulder, making his arm useless.

Kaze gritted his teeth together in anger, before looking down at Hiei who was glaring back at him from behind his sword that had blood staining the steel. The red liquid dripped through his fingers, and blood also flowed down his arm, dripping off the lifeless fingers onto the pure white ground below.

Kaze walked backwards until he was standing over the edge, "Till next time firefly." He said before he suddenly dropped down and out of there sights.

Hiei glared at the air where Kaze used to be before flicking his sword to get rid of the blood and sheathed the sword.

Kurama and Yusuke approached the small demon, both wary at the way his hair shielded his eyes. Hiei suddenly punched the ground with tremendous force, making a small crater in the rock.

"Hiei…"

"Don't start fox, don't you dare…"

Kurama sighed but said nothing, instead he turned to Yusuke and Kuwabara, "Come, let's return to Rui-san's."

"But what about…"

"Hiei will join us when he wants to Yusuke, let's go."

Silently and hesitantly the two humans followed after the redhead leaving Hiei alone.

-------------------------------------------------

"Are you sure it's wise to leave him alone out there?"

"Yes, he should be fine Yukina, he is a fire demon."

Yukina frowned but handed out the tea to them. She had healed Kuwabara's injuries, and now they were drinking tea. All of them looked dreary and somber, which made Yukina feel slightly depressed from the aura they were giving off.

Rui cradled her cup of tea not really interested in drinking something that radiated such heat, but didn't want to be rude and drank it anyway.

"Were you able to stop him?" Asked Rui as she set down her cup on the table in front of her. Kurama frowned, "Not stop him more like delayed him." He replied.

"I see…" Rui looked down to her hands resting in her lap. It was apparent even to her, that Hiei use to know the demon, and when she heard he stayed behind; it was probably to take out his anger.

Yukina stood up and walked towards the window and peered outside into the raging winds, "It's getting worse…" She muttered in worry. The storms and cold were much worse then the once down in demon world, even a fire demon would have a hard time staying warm out there, and this caused Yukina to worry even more.

Kurama stared into the murky depths of his tea and sighed. He wasn't much help today, but Hiei didn't seem to mind. Emerald eyes sharpened and narrowed so much that it looked like his Youko form was looking back at him.

Hiei's battle or not, no one tortured the young demon. Hiei has been through enough and he will not allow past pain to revise and reopen the closed wound that has time has taken so long to mend.

Hiei wasn't alone, not anymore.

------------------------------------------------------

The wind played with his hair and the cold settled into his flesh not that he minded, he couldn't feel the cold anyway.

Livid crimson eyes stared at the writing on the ice tombstone of where his mother was resting. He knew he shouldn't be here, but dead or not, he felt more comfortable being around his mother.

Kaze had gotten away, but not without getting injured and that brought Hiei some satisfaction. The small demon sighed closing his eyes briefly, before opening them again and stared at the ice.

Next time Kaze appeared, he wouldn't get away, not again…

Rush? I know. Crappy? I defiantly know that. Well hoped you enjoyed!

Till next time!
