Oy! Darkdemon here!

I have got to have the most unfortunate family in the world. God. We just found out that my uncle, my mom's brother, died of a heart attack and

we're going to the funeral...ugh. I hate funerals. So if it takes me forever to write I apologize a million times. But here is:

Chapter Ten: Got It Bad

Au revoir avec amour,

Darkdemon

Aka: Nick

"Not alcohol! I want a COKE!" I yelled as he sniggered from behind me, intent on following me.

"Follow them." Koenma muttered as he rubbed his head in frustration. Yusuke and Kuwabara nodded as Kurama looked thoughtful.

"She seems very headstrong. Do you think she will go along with this plan?" The fox demon asked the Spirit World ruler. Koenma sighed as he shrugged his shoulders.

"If anything, she'll go just to annoy the hell out of Hiei." Koenma answered before they too left the room.

I hit Ren for the eleventh time since we had left my room and he seemed intent on a couple hundred more. It felt weird to have him around again. I frowned when I remembered how he had broken mother' s heart by leaving and then how he had broken mine and father's by dying. I should be angry with him but I couldn't muster up the rage toward him. My rage seemed to be solely resting on the demon named Hiei. I groaned in frustration as that loathsome demon reentered my train of thought, throwing me off yet again. Ren turned to look at me, a cross between worry and amusement crossing his features as I glared at him.

"What are you looking at, eh? Is there something interesting on my face?" I asked, my temper getting the better of me again.

"Woah…viper! Come on, sis! Relax! You're going to wrinkle that pretty little face of yours if you don't stop bunching up your eyebrows like that!" He teased and I swatted his playful hand away as I pushed past him.

"Shut up." I muttered, anger settling in my stomach.

She was the only thing I could think of and it was driving me insane. I had never been this riled up by anything in my life. I had too much control over my emotions to let them run amok like this yet the moment she entered my life she screwed everything thing up. The blasted human did not know who the hell she was dealing with. I hated her with every fiber of my being.

"Hiei?" I turned to the fox with a glare and he simply smiled at me with that knowing smile that never left his face when he was up to something.

"Is there something bothering you, my friend?" He asked as if he didn't know.

"Hn." He wasn't going to find out how much I thought about that human female.

"Is this about Saiyomi? I have never seen you so angry outwardly toward a female who had barely provoked you." He was trying to pull the truth from my mouth even though I know he knew why I hated that girl.

"She's very head-strong and violent…" He mentioned as his smile turned mischievous.

"It reminds me of someone I know." I clenched my fists at his insinuation as her scent entered my senses again. Then I saw her. Her face was set in a scowl as deep as mine and the idiot from before was with her, leaning on her although she was the one injured.

"Leave me alone, Ren." Her voice was cold and threatening and the man easily heeded her warning. It was then they both looked up and she met my eyes.

"Hey! You're Hiei! Right?" The idiot asked as a smile crossed his face. The female scoffed before walking past us, heading toward the cafeteria.

"Hey! Wait! Saiyomi! Come on! Koenma says I have to keep an eye on you! How can I do that if you keep walking off from me like that?!" His voice irritated my eardrum and from the way the female cringed I assumed it did the same to her.

"Is she tiring you already, Ren?" The fox asked the idiot and he smiled as he did so.

"Tiring, no. Annoying, yes. She acts as if she doesn't need me." He whined and I scoffed.

"She doesn't." I answered, remembering the way the female had handled herself in our captivity. He turned to me with a frown.

"How do you know? Weren't you the one who was trying to kill her earlier?" He asked, his voice serious for the first time since I had met him.

"Hiei cannot kill her. You know that Ren." Kurama answered for me and Ren smirked at me.

"She got to you. I can see it in the way you look at her. She's got you wrapped around her finger." I growled at the accusation and Kurama smiled.

"She does seem to be causing quite a stir around here." I glared at both of them, anger rising in my gut at their insinuations.

"Ren!" Her voice cried out in pain and I disappeared from the room, appearing beside her. She clutched her sides in pain as she looked up at me in surprise.

"Hiei?" I nodded as I bent down beside her and another wave of pain consumed her. Her brother and the fox appeared behind me and they bent down next to her on either side of me, confusion written on their face.

"What hurts, sister?" Ren asked, his voice close to a panic.

"She shouldn't have left the infirmary, Ren!" Kurama chastised.

"Hiei..." I looked up at my name as it escaped her lips in a whisper and found her eyes dull. She gripped my hand and forced it to her chest as yet another wave of pain swept through her body. I blushed at the position of my hand before my eyes widened at the erraticism and irregularity of her heart. Her lungs were collapsing. Before her brother or the fox could object, I had her in my arms and was racing back to the infirmary.

I didn't think about the consequences or the questions that would arise from my actions.

Nor did I think about how weak this may make me look.

All I thought about was this female and her safety.

Pain was all I could feel and yet I felt better knowing he was with me.

I couldn't see his face clearly, my vision blurred by my tears of pain.

I couldn't feel his arms properly, my senses haywire from the pain shooting through my body.

I could sense him.

I could sense his urgency.

I could sense his fear.

It made this experience less terrifying knowing that he was there with me, that he had come when I had first cried out, and that he was the one now rushing to save me.

This demon was different because...he cared.
