Hiei made his way through the forest. He was a fool to think that he could have a day of peace, Makai, or Ningenkai, no matter where he went someone was there to piss him off. Gods, he must've been around humans for too long to think they would give him any piece. He didn't care where he was going as long as he was away from a certain blonde-haired bitch was all that mattered to him. He stopped once he saw a small pond up ahead and took a seat near a rock nearby. He released a sigh that he didn't know was there before shifting his red eyes to the side. "You can come out now. I know you're there." He said with monotonous voice.

There was a shuffle before Sakkidatta stepped out of his hiding place; a smile on his face and a black patch over his Jagan eye. The seer chuckled, and approached the small hi-youkai. "Hello firefly." He purred. Hiei scowled at the nickname. Sakkidatta knew he hated it, and repeatedly told him to stop calling him that, but the demon never listened to anyone. It's like the leech enjoyed flirting with death.

The golden-eyed demon reached down his shirt and pulled something out, before tossing it towards the stoic demon who caught it mid-air smoothly. "A gift little one, to bid your cravings." Sakkidatta said smoothly.

Hiei blinked in confusion before looking at the item. A smirk crossed his face as he looked at the box of Makai cigarettes; he shook his head in amusement before opening it, taking one out and placing it on his lips. Almost immediately the end glowed red and smoke emerged from the lit end. He took a deep breath and exhaled a steady stream of gray smoke before nodding his head in thanks to the seer who smiled in return.

"I take it you like my present?" He asked and Hiei shot him a dry look which he responded with another smile. Since Hiei was a fire demon his body already made certain chemicals that the cigarettes held, all it did was add more chemicals to his body that he already had. Unlike humans and other demons, hi-youkai's could smoke not gain some disease in the process.

Sakkidatta glanced to the side swiftly and his smile darkened, "I also have something else I think you'll appreciate just as much." He reached into his shirt again and pulled out a vial filled with what appeared to be water and tossed it towards Hiei. The smaller demon caught it again and studied it for a moment before his eyes widened in shock, horror, and with a touch of need. He looked back at the leech and clenched his hand around the vial, "Is this some kind of joke?" His voice was cold, promising death if the other dared to answer wrong.

"Of course it isn't. It's been awhile since you've had any hasn't it?" A low threatening growl was his answer. Sakkidatta knew what he was doing was cruel to the small demon, but not much demons have survived that long without crawling back to the substance in that small hand. True Hiei took it when he was insane but he should have suffered the horrible withdrawals even when he became sane once more. Not many demon could quit from that liquid without killing themselves for more.

Hiei mentally cursed inside his head and gripped the vial tighter, feeling immense desire to find a syringe and plunge it into his skin and feel his pain and worries melt away. Of all the things Sakkidatta had to give him, it had to be this…

What was in the vial was a very powerful and dangerous drug from Makai. It was called Angel's Bless. The drug was very potent and even a small amount could keep a demon high for days when injected correctly. The only side-effect was that it got you instantly addicted, making them crave more, and once a demon tried to quit they experience horrible withdraws that eventually made them get back to the stuff. Hiei had experience those withdrawals once he was sane again, and he almost went to seek the liquid but his pride stopped him, but the cravings never really left.

Hiei swallowed thickly before tightening his grip further causing small cracks to appear. He glared hotly at Sakkidatta, "You know that I wasn't in the right state of mind when I tried this. How dare you…" He hissed quietly, and it was true. He did a lot of things he wasn't proud of when he was insane. He even became one of the biggest drug lords in Makai! But that was only because he needed money and selling drugs to desperate demon was a good way to earn gold. Hiei gritted his teeth together as he felt another flash of desire run through his body.

Sakkidatta tilted his head side-ways, "Oh?" His voice sounded nonchalant, but his eye was glinting with amusement. It was amusing seeing such a normally emotionless demon display so many emotions openly when faced with an insatiable craving. He knew that the small demon still wanted the little drug. For Angel's Bless craving never disappeared, they would always flare up once the substance was once again in their hands, ready to be used or not. Hiei bared his fangs and closed his hand swiftly causing the bottle to shatter, spilling the clear liquid on his hand and ground.

A pleased smile spread across Sakkidatta's face, "Very good little one. I didn't think you would resist, but then again you're always full of surprises." Hiei's eye was twitching something awful after the seer's comment, and he didn't bother holding back the sneer that was forming on his face. Not that Sakkidatta minded, he was glad that Hiei didn't use it; he wouldn't have to accidentally take advantage of the little youkai. That thought brought a coy smile to the seer's lips.

The said seer didn't look too concerned when he noticed Hiei's murderous expression, but rather looked off to the side, "You can come out now." He called, gaining a surprise flinch from the small hi-youkai.

The bushes rustled and Kurama, Yusuke and Kuwabara emerged from the forgery. Hiei raised a brow at them before taking another drag. They were there for awhile, probably since Sakkidatta became out from his hiding place. Yusuke and Kuwabara were staring at Hiei in disbelief but Kurama was staring at Sakkidatta.

The leech ignore Kurama's stare and looked at the brown-eyed teen, "So you're Yusuke Urameshi. I've seen your fight with Toguro and I must say it was most impressive." He commented with another smile. The said teen blinked in surprise, "You were there?"

The seer let out a charming laugh, "Not exactly. But I did see it." He said mysteriously making Hiei roll his eyes. The damn leech always felt the need to be as vague as possible. Yusuke placed a hand behind his head, "Well, uh…thanks." He mumbled.

Kurama looked at the feminine demon, scanning his form. There was something about the demon that un-nerved him greatly. His stance, posture, the black patch over one eye, heck even his hair made him feel uncomfortable! And it looked like the demon was enjoying his weary and tense form.

Sakkidatta mentally grinned at the youko. Now to make him even more aggravated, "Hiei…" He purred out enjoying how the kitsune tensed. "Are you coming over for dinner tonight?" Hiei sent him a confused look. The seer never invited him to his house, and the only thing the seer would eat was…

Hiei snorted. So Sakkidatta wanted seconds, which was unusual for the leech. Once he's had a good amount of blood, he'd be healthy for days, but Hiei did love the sensation of his blood draining from his body…Hiei shrugged and muttered an 'I'll think about it.' Before snubbing the cigarette out on the rock he was sitting on.

A pleased smile spread across Sakkidatta's lips as he nodded before turning away. "You know where to find me." He said walking away deliberately putting a slight swing to his hips knowing Hiei was following his movements. Hiei smirk at Sakkidatta's back, immediately noticing the slight sway in his hips. How long has it been since he last had sex? Half a year or more? He wasn't sure, but he shoved that thought aside and looked back at the three humans. The nosy humans that thought they could spy on him and the leech, and see his little episode, instead of asking. Not that he'd tell them anything anyway.

"Since when did you smoke shrimp?" Asked Kuwabara pointing at the said item in Hiei's hand. Hiei raised a brow and pulled out another stick, setting it on his lips, and like before ignited the same way. He blew out a steady stream of smoke, "Before you were even conceived." He said purposely blowing the smoke in his direction.

Kuwabara gave a slight cough, but was used to it since his sister did the same thing. Yusuke blinked at the small demon, "Who was that demon Hiei?" He asked and Kurama looked at Hiei expectantly.

Hiei scowled visibly at them. They actually had the nerve to demand something from him that had nothing to do with them? How dare these humans dare think they could control him like some sort of puppet! He was no one's tool or object, not anymore. Hiei curled his fingers slowly, hearing his knuckles pop loudly. They couldn't understand the actions he did, because they were human, even if Kurama was a demon once he wasn't anymore. They were raised with comfort, and were sheltered to not know what the real world was like. The real world was a kill or be killed place; if you were weak you'd died. It was as simple as that. Hiei didn't delude himself with fantasies or dreams, for he knew that's what they were; dreams and fantasies, unreachable things that the mind thought up to give themselves hope even if there wasn't any.

Hiei turned away from them and spit his half-burned cigarette on to the ground, his face twisting with disgust. "You should head back." He said monotonously, pulling out another cig catching the trio by surprise, "What? Why?" Questioned Kuwabara confused.

If possible the scowl deepened as he turned away from them, ready to flit away. Really Kuwabara's stupidity has reached a new level, "You're here with your family's right? Then go, they'll be wondering where you are."

Kurama frowned before reaching out and grasping Hiei's wrist, "If you have forgotten Hiei, my mother had invited you as well. That means you must return with me as well." He said knowing that his mother would be worried if he went back and Hiei wasn't with him. His frown deepened as Hiei snorted, he couldn't understand what was wrong with the little demon lately. Normally he could read Hiei easily, knowing what emotions he was feeling and what the possible problem could be.

Hiei glared at the redhead, but Kurama ignored him and started pulling him back to the park, leaving a snickering Yusuke and Kuwabara behind. The hi-youkai snorted and exhaled another stream of smoke. Kurama frowned and abruptly turned around, startling Hiei who blinked in confusion as the cigarette was ripped away and stamped out, by the redhead. Hiei shrugged, it wasn't like he didn't have anymore; he still had a pack left.

It didn't take them long to return to the park filled with blooming sakura's. "Shuiichi!!" Called his mother racing towards them. Shiori pulled her son into a hug, causing him to let go of Hiei's wrist. "I was so worried." She muttered into his chest. Kurama smiled down at her and wrapped his arms around her in return.

Hiei turned his head away from the scene, feeling envy welling up in him from the sight. How he wished he could've experience more of that feeling. He's only experienced it once before it was cruelly ripped away from him and oh how he craved for more, a mother's love, to be held gently through the night, soft arms shielding him from his pains.

But Hiei could never have any of that, it wasn't for him. His life wasn't meant to be filled with soft words and caring arms. He was unworthy of having to experience such a wonderful feeling, for he was forbidden, life's whipping boy, and other's scapegoat, that's all he was good for.

Hiei was startled out of his thought as Shiori pulled him into a hug once she was done with Kurama. His eyes widened till his retinas were just two small red dots against a sea of white. "I'm so glad you're safe, I was worried when you left so suddenly." She said resting her head on top of his. Shiori frowned, the body was so tense in her arms, like any second she would make a move to harm him suddenly. She pulled back and looked into the smaller of the two's wide eyes that made him look much younger then he actually was. She smiled at him and looked him over, "You're not hurt are you?" She asked watching Hiei blink and slowly shake his head.

Kurama politely covered his mouth to hide the smile that was growing on his face. He's never seen Hiei look so shocked before, it was amusing to see his already wide cat-like eyes become even wider that they looked round. He had to admit, Hiei looked adorable…

Shiori smiled again at Hiei before turning towards her son, "So are you ready to eat now Shuiichi? You both left before you could eat anything, I'm sure you're both hungry." Kurama removed his hand to smile at his mother and nod his head. Shiori smiled and lead them to the blanket where the other two of there family was waiting for them, and…Amelia.

Kurama frowned but greeted her with a smile, while Hiei didn't even bother to hide the disgust in his eyes nor the dark scowl that spread across his face. "Shuiichi!" She exclaimed standing up and hugging him. Hiei turned his head away to focus on something else, something that didn't have blonde hair, blue eyes, and an attitude of a whore.

Amelia smiled up at Kurama before her eyes slid to the side. Her smile faded as she spotted Hiei, she instantly frowned, "What are you doing here?" She asked her tone polite though her eyes were not. Hiei looked at her with hard eyes and was about to answer but Shiori beat him to it, "I invited him. I thought he'd like to get out of the house for awhile since he's been inside for a couple of days." Amelia looked over to the older woman and nodded her head, "What a great idea Shiori-san. He must be grateful."

Hiei snorted and turned away, he didn't have to stay and let this wench talk down to him. "It was…nice of you to invite me Shiori, but I'm leaving." He said and started to walk away. Amelia smiled smugly at his retreating back, "Don't feel too offended Shiori. He was after all raised on the streets; it's only natural that he would go back eventually. Filth will always be filth, no matter how hard you try to change it." She muttered the last part, but Hiei heard it loud and clear.

Hiei turned suddenly, his lips pulled back in an animalistic snarl, startling the family and the blonde. Hiei's eyes were narrowed with anger giving him a dangerous appearance as he stalked forward. "Then what does that make you?" He hissed making Amelia glare back bravely, "What are you talking about? Why are you acting to angry with me? I've shown you nothing but kindness since I met you." She countered making Hiei release a dark laugh. Amelia frowned, "You find that funny? How I've been so kind to you?" Hiei tilted his head to one side and gave her a droll look, "You've shown me nothing of the sort. With you clinging to Shuiichi so much, I'm under the impression you're a ten cent whore in five dent clothing whose attitude isn't worth a penny." He shot back causing Amelia to gasp in outrage and the others behind her to stare in disbelief. Kurama stood up, he knew he had to quickly intervene, or this would go from bad to worse.

"Hiei, please calm yourself." He said soothingly, gently resting his hands onto the fire demons shoulders. Kurama turned towards his family feeling regret, "Mother, I think me and Hiei shall leave and return home now. His injuries might be acting up." He said and Shiori snapped out of her shock and nodded her head in understanding, "W-We'll return home shortly Shuiichi, please try to get Hiei to relax." She said and the red-haired human nodded his head.

Kurama looked back at the enraged fire demon, "Let's go Hiei." He said, once again taking Hiei's wrist and pulling him away. Amelia glared at the hi-youkai who glared back before smirking. He took a page out of Yusuke's book of insults and flicked her off earning another enraged gasp.

Hiei's smirk deepened before he turned around and willingly allowed Kurama to pull him along. For some reason he felt happier and his head felt lighter. Un-noticed by either of the demons a trail of blood was left behind, dripping from Hiei's torn hand that had a piece of glass imbedded in his palm.

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

Kurama sighed as he fished out the keys to his house from his pocket. He opened the door and pulled Hiei inside. He looked back at him once he felt Hiei stumble in after him. His eyes flashed in confusion as a blush stained across the bridge of his nose.

"Hiei?" He asked silently and his response was a little giggle as crimson eyes clouded over. Kurama grabbed Hiei's shoulders holding him steady as he started to fall to his knees. Another giggle escaped the small demon and the smirk that was on his face changed into a dreamy smile.

Kurama was puzzled. He's never seen Hiei act this way before, and didn't know what to do. He was acting so…un-Hiei like that it made Kurama worry. He suddenly sniffed the air, he could smell blood, it was no more then a few minutes old. Kurama grabbed Hiei's hand, ignoring the way the small demon dissolved into a giggle fit, and opened it spotting the blood and more importantly the glass shard standing out. Emerald green eyes flashed in confusion, how could Hiei not notice it? Unless…

Kurama lifted the hand up and sniffed the wound and silently cursed. He could smell a powerful drug on the glass and was seeping into Hiei's blood. He hurriedly pulled out the glass and tossed it aside into the garbage bin, and pulled the now high Hiei up the stairs and to his room. The once silver-haired fox demon knew that drugs never really worked on a fire demon since they could burn the intruding substance, but there was one drug strong enough, and Kurama knew the scent of this drug well. He cursed at himself mentally, Angel's Bless was originally designed to be a powerful pain killer, and it would explain why Hiei didn't feel the glass shard.

A slender hand ran through rich red hair and pulled out a seed. Kurama concentrated some of his ki into it making grow and grabbing one of the leaves. He looked over to Hiei who was staring up at the ceiling with a lazy grin and half-lidded eyes. He approached the hi-youkai and broke the leaf under his nose making his eyes flutter before the small demon fell unconscious. He caught the now unconscious demon and settled him on his bed to sleep of the drug running through his system. Hopefully Hiei will sleep through it, since a small amount was in his system it shouldn't take too long…

He hoped when his family came home, Hiei wasn't still high, that would not place him in his step-father's good side.

Kurama blinked in surprise as Hiei's smiled vanished and was replaced with a look of pure anguish. He could feel his heart going out to the little demon, even unconscious, Hiei couldn't stop suffering.

----------Dream--------------------

A slight cry escaped Hiei's throat as he collided harshly with a wall. The two-year old fell to the floor coughing and clutching his ribs in pain. He looked down at the ground noticing two small circles of blood on the stone floor before he looked up and glared hatefully at the man who was causing him so much pain.

He and other children from Itsuka's group were taken by another gang of thieves that wanted to raise the young ones into perfect soldiers. Hiei clamped his mouth shut as the demon grabbed him harshly from his hair and lifted him up, "Had enough?" His reply was a mixture of blood and saliva landing on his cheek. The demon growled before tossing him harshly to the ground and picking him up again but this time by his arm. "Hmph, you've been causing us quite some trouble lately. You deserve a much worse punishment." He mused before dropping the young demon.

Hiei glared up at him, his eyes following him till he left the room leaving him alone in the dark. He panted heavily and pushed himself up ignoring the pain from his bruised ribs. He raised one hand and ran it over the dribble of blood that had escaped his mouth, but instead of cleaning it he just smeared it across his chin. The door opened again leaking light into the room making him snap his head up and squint against the sudden light.

The other demon children entered the room followed by their keeper that was assigned to them. She was a beautiful demon with long black hair up to her lower back and covered one of her sea-green eyes. She wore black strips of clothing that barely covered her breasts or crotch. Her red lips were parted in a small 'o' of shock before she raced over to Hiei.

"Are you alright little one?" She asked, her voice deep yet feminine. She lifted Hiei up and settled him into her lap. The other children hesitantly approached them, many before they were captured they were afraid of Hiei since he was so different from them.

A little chuckle escaped her as she motion for the others to come forth. She licked up the blood that was trickling down Hiei's cheek from a cut. She repeatedly lapped at the wound causing it to slowly but surely close. "There, all better." She said looking at him while brushing back his bangs. He didn't know what kind of demon she was but her saliva had a healing property that made words heal much faster.

Hiei gave her a small smile which made her beam back at him and tweaked his nose playfully. She was one of the few demons that had gained his trust, she showed him nothing but care since he and the others got here. Normally Hiei would shield from her touch like he did before, but the bastards took his mother's gem, and that was his only source of comfort and peace in this hell-hole so he moved to another that provided the same feelings. The door suddenly opened again, surprising the occupants of the room. The black-haired demon clutched Hiei tighter to her barely covered breasts glaring at the intruders.

"What are you doing back? Isn't his punishment done!?" She yelled and the children huddled behind her making Hiei scowl at them. They were a bunch of cowards, they would never survive out in Makai. "Nah we aren't done yet. That little shit been causing way too much trouble, so we have a special punishment planned for him." Said his assailant from earlier.

Sea-green eyes narrowed and her grip tightened around him, "He's only a child you can't blame him for the actions he does!" She yelled once more, but gasped as they stepped forward and yank him out of her grasp, "NO!"

Hiei's eyes widened as her scream reminded him of his mother's. Her voice following him as he was dropped from the floating island. He snapped out of his thoughts as he was tossed down onto a shabby bed. His eyes looked down to the bed, then up to the demon hovering above him. His eyes widened in horror, he knew what they were planning to do…

And he knew he was powerless to stop them…

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

Hiei lied on the soiled bed on his side watching with dead eyes as the two demons get dress, laughing with each other. Though he has been raped before this was twice as worst as it was back then. The green-skinned demon approached him and smirked down at him, "Your punishments not over yet." He said smugly. Hiei blinked at them but showed no other signs of life.

A sparkle re-appeared as his caretaker was forced into the room, looking no better then he was. She had tears running down her face, and her hair was a messed but worse of all she had blood and seamen running down her thighs. Hiei pushed himself up slowly and looked at her, who was looking back at him with hateful eyes. "This is all your fault…" She mumbled her voice tight.

Hiei blinked in confusion not understanding what she meant, and she glared harshly at him surprising him from the amount of hatred radiating off of her. "Is it wasn't for you I would never have gotten raped! If I had known you were the Forbidden Child I'd never have allowed you to live!" She screeched making Hiei's eyes widen. "But…" He tried to say but was caught off by her, "Stop! I won't believe the lies coming from your forked tongue you monster!!!!"

Hiei breathed heavily, not believing what he was hearing. She hated him, all because he was the Forbidden Child. How…How could she. Before Hiei could retort the green-eyed demon was thrown to the ground, and the two demons looked at him, "Kid we have an order for you. Kill her." Said the green-skinned one.

Crimson eyes stared in disbelief before looking down at the demon on the floor. He couldn't kill her; no matter how much she hated him now. He let out a surprised cry as she suddenly jumped on him with a crazed scream and started to choke him.

Hiei gritted his teeth together and gripped at her wrist trying to stop her. He saw the tears running her face in rivers as she tried to kill him. He could feel the lack of oxygen beginning to affect him. His grip loosened on her and his eyes drooped and his lungs burned. Hiei was confused. He couldn't understand why she hated him so much, when before she was treating him with such love and kindness! His mind couldn't grasp on why this was happening. Just as blackness was covering his vision his hands shot out, there was a sickening crack, the sound of flesh tearing and the feeling of warm water falling on him.

Slender hands loosened, and fell away from his neck allowing his to breathe once again. Hiei coughed and inhaled precious air before opening his eyes. He looked down at the black-haired demon, confused as to why he could feel water on his hands and chest and why she was so still. He pushed her off and gasped, holding back a scream that was threatening to escape his lips. He back away from the body looking down at his blood-stained hands in horror. How did this happen? Somehow his hand went right through her chest, pushing out her heart that was lying a few feet away, still pumping.

He's never killed before, and that woman was one of the few that made him feel like he wasn't an abomination. Like he was…

Hiei looked up as he saw the other two laughing. So they thought it was funny that he had killed did they? He just killed a important person to him and they were laughing?! Hiei felt something inside of him snap. All his panic and horror fled from his body and his face became blank. He stood up letting the sheet fall to the floor no longer caring for his nakedness. He didn't even grimace as he felt seaman mixed with blood run down from his entrance down his legs and looked at them with empty eyes, "Watashiwa…ishi korosu…anata subete…(1)" He muttered walking straight towards them.

The two demons laughed at his threat but their laughter fell short as one was suddenly decapitated. The one remaining alive gasped before looking at the small demon that was holding his companions short sword and was covered with flecks of blood. The demon nervously backed up not sure how to handle a situation like this. He turned around and began to run away, but was suddenly thrown back and pinned to the wall, the sword tight through his heart. The demon's eyes widened before the light faded and he laid limply on the wall.

Hiei lowered his arm watched the crimson liquid fall from there bodies with fascination. He looked at his own blood-stained hands and flexed them. The blood was sort of sticky, and was beginning to dry. He shifted his eyes over to the dresser that had a mirror and looked at his reflection. Blood stained his naked body, a few splashes on his face, biceps, and legs, but the biggest mass of red was found on his chest and hands. Hiei tilted his head to one side as a blood splotch right under his right eye trailed down his cheek, looking like he was crying a single bloody tear. He couldn't help wonder as the blood feel down his cheek, was the blood being a disguise for tears he could not cry himself?

He looked back to the blood covered walls. It was so ridiculously easy to kill. He hardly had to fight. He glanced back at the black-haired wench the one that toyed with him, drawing him out from his shell and crushing him with her harsh words; he would never again open up like that. While women were physically weaker then men, their sharp words more then made up for it. She was his first victim; she helped understand how easy it was to kill no matter what gender they were, and so that's what he'll do, he'll kill and kill and kill and hopefully come across stronger opponents in order to get stronger.

He didn't know how good he would become in killing and how emotionless he would become…

---------End Dream-----------------

Crimson eyes snapped and was instantly assaulted with darkness, and Hiei couldn't help but feel comfortable in the darkness around, he was after all in his element.

(1)- My Japanese isn't so good but what Hiei basically said was "I will kill you all."

Done! Again I'm so sorry for the late update and Happy New Year!

Till next time!
