\Chapter 10!
I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. I do however own Koori and the demons they are fighting

Koori blinked glared at the pint sized demon. "What do you know Midget?" She snapped at him her eyes turning to daggers.
Hiei glared right back. "I know that if I didn't go and get you out of that rink, you would be dead right now." He snapped at her.
Koori turned her head, a little surprise at the snap. "Yeah Right, I had everything under control," she replied lowly. "Besides, why do you care," she asked him, though did not look towards him.
Hiei stared at her and turned away to leave. "Stay here till in the morning and rest." He said before leaving the room.
Koori sighed and lowered her gaze… "Why did he avoid the question," she asked herself as she saw the demon walking back towards the arena…. "And why can I not stop thinking about him," she asked herself before standing up and walking to the bed and plopping down to think.

Meanwhile! Yusuke had won his fight, and Koto had just announced Team Urameshi the winners. Laughter could be heard in the distance as the four had entered the hotel and were heading off to Yusuke's room to talk about tomorrows match.
Koori had looked up at the laughter, sighed standing up, poking her head outside the door, and followed them behind Kuwabara.
"Hey Koori you're looking better," Kurama had said with a warm smile.
"Yeah you took a real beating out there, Hiei went and got you." Kuwabara announced. "I would have but the pip squeak kinda beat me to it." He said smirking at her.
Koori was not really paying attention to the others; her eyes were located on Hiei. "Hey Fire Fly…why are you over here by yourself," She asked with a slight tilt of her head.
Hiei red eyes shifted to the side to look at her cringing slightly at yet another new nickname the snow leopard had apparently dubbed him with. "I thought I told you to stay in your room and rest…"

Koori looked at him and chuckled slightly, "you should know by now I am not one to listen to a whole lot of people." She said and sat down beside him.
Kuwabara stared at the two… "Why does she get special treatment? If anyone else were to call him that he would have said something sarcastic to them."
Kurama gave only a small chuckle. "That would probably be only to you Kuwabara, believe it or not."
Kuwabara gave the redheaded demon a confused look. "Well that's not fair!" He exclaimed.
Hiei's eyes migrated over to the flustered human. "Unlike you she isn't an idiot all the time Kuwabara. She actually knows when to shut her mouth."

Kuwabara looked to him. "WELL IF YOU WEREN'T IN A BAD MOOD ALL THE TIME MAYBE MORE PEOPLE WOULD LIKE YOU!"
Koori looked towards Kuwabara and she tilted her head. "Where the heck did that come from…?" She questioned, "Fire Fly never did anything about people not liking him…. He said you were an Idiot."

Kuwabara stared at her. "SURE! TAKE HIS SIDE! SINCE WHEN DO YOU LISTEN TO HIM," he shouted at her.

Koori glared, "I don't listen to him. I listen to no one," she countered defensively

Kuwabara smirked, "then why are you defending him…"
Koori glared at Kuwabara and step towards him. "I'm not defending him!"
Kuwabara took a step back somewhat threatened by the shouting leopard demon. "Alright! You're not defending him!" He exclaimed.
Koori smirked. "You're such a wuss," She said simply.
Kuwabara opened his mouth before Yusuke stepped in. "WILL YOU TWO STOP THIS BICKERING!" He shouted at the two.

Koori turned towards him. "Alright Slick calm down. So who are we battling tomorrow anyway?" She asked curiously.

Yusuke smirked, "The Shadow Channelers." He said simply.
Koori's eyes went wide. "The Shadow Channelers!" We cannot fight them!" She exclaimed with wide eyes.
Kuwabara blinked. "What's got you so worked up?" He asked curiously.
Koori merely looked towards him………..
