I have returned! Bet you guys are happy huh? I've been thinking of posting up a Naruto story. So there will be a preview of it at the end of this chappie. Ok? OK!

He watched silently as they walked off, the girl picking up the small wolf cub that had rolled out of her mot!her's arms.

He waited a few moments after they left, then followed along silently. They weren't going to take what was his that easily.

Ch 14: Youko's Jealous

"Unh…" came a soft voice from behind Hiei.

Hiei turned around without thinking, and looked at Kitty. But thankfully, she was covered by a semi-thin blanket Evee had thoughtfully put on her.

"Where am I…?" Kitty asked groggily, sitting up with one hand going to her throbbing head, the sheet falling down to crumple around her waist as she did so. Luckily, Evee had thoughtfully bandaged her whole chest, so nothing showed.

Hiei crept towards her, concern showing openly on his face as he did so. "Are you alright Kit?" he asked tenderly.

(it's the apocalypse! XD I dare say I love how I make Hiei have feelings! It suits this fic so well, ne?)

Kitty opened one eye to look at him, her head throbbing as she did so. "My head's fucking hurting…" she muttered.

Hiei smiled lightly at her, putting a caring hand to her forehead. "Don't worry, it'll pass Kit…" he said, a tear trickling from his crimson eye down his cheek.

Kitty looked at him, confused. She brought her hand up and brushed the tear away gently. "Hiei…what's wrong?" she asked gently.

Hiei leaned his cheek against her palm. "I…I'm just so glad…you're alive…" he said softly.

Kitty's eyes widened slightly, warmth filling them, as well as tears. "Hiei… I didn't know you cared….about me so much…" she said, willing herself not to cry. Assassins did not cry. No matter what happened.

Hiei smiled lightly at her. "I care more for you than I've ever cared for anyone before…you were there…when no one else was…" he said. 'But that's a lie…I'm beginning to care for someone else…and it's more…intimate than what I feel for you…' he thought to himself.

Kitty allowed her tears to flow down at last. "Hiei…you have no idea how much I missed you!" she cried, thrusting herself forward and wrapping her arms around his chest, burying her face in his shirt as her body was wracked with sobs, the sheets covering her lower body.

Hiei responded immediately, hugging her back with one arm as he rubbed her head with the other to soothe her.

Youko found the hut where they had taken his angel. 'Found you.'

He crept forward, and peeked in through the window. His anger instantly flared.

His angel was hugging Hiei! HUGGING HIEI!

Jealousy entered his being, seeping into every crevice of him, soaking up any other thought of logic that had come up.

He was not going to let this pass, his angel was his, not Hiei's. She was going to be his mate, and he was going to make sure of that.

'No one takes what's mine.' he thought, making his way back into the bushes.

Evee stood up, hanging the sodden clothes over a sturdy, low branch. "Ok, now to dry them." she murmured to herself.

She closed her eyes, and lifted her hands up, palm outwards. Fire shot out of her palms, barely missing the sodden clothes. After a few minutes, the fire extinguished, leaving behind warm, dry clothes.

Evee reopened her eyes and smiled, taking up the now dry clothes. "Now it's all nice and clean." she said with a smile.

She turned and headed back to the hut. She froze as the hut came into view.

'Is that… It can't be, can it?' she asked herself, staring at the silver fox looking in the window.

There was no doubt about who that was, it was definitely Youko. Evee tilted her head in confusion as his anger spiked, and he slink off, extremely POed.

'What the hell was that all about?' she asked herself, staring after him. She shook her head, and made her way back towards the hut.

Next Chapter: Ch 15: Aishiteru Sis

Yes, now to start the Naruto preview!

NARUTO STORY PREVIEW!

Title: Darkness Rules...

Ch 1: Run…run for your life

Chest heaving, heart racing, legs screaming for rest.

'Must go on…must not stop…'

Blood dripping to the ground, leaving a small, noticeable trail behind her. She can't stop. She won't stop. Or else, she'll be killed. She can't die, not now, not yet… She still has something important to do.

Bam! Dirt flew up, right behind her. They were getting closer, gaining on her.

She ran faster, her tail swishing this way and that. Her black cloak flipped around her, snagging on several branches here and there. Her breath came in short, quick gasps, as she ran on in the night, the moon shining overhead.

She'd been running for days without end, even when the people chasing her slept, she ran on. She was tired, nay, exhausted, yet she ran on. She wouldn't give up, no, not until she fulfilled her promise.

An ear-splitting scream filled the air, crows flying up into the sky from the surrounding trees.

Hatake Kakashi looked around. 'What was that?' he thought.

"Kakashi-sensei, what do you suppose that was?" His student, Haruno Sakura, asked.

"Sounded like someone just got stabbed real hard with a knife." Was Uzumaki Naruto's response.

Uchiha Sasuke said nothing, merely glared at the two idiots before him and turned his head away.

Kakashi blinked as he looked in the direction of the scream. "I guess we should go check it out…" he drawled.

All four of them hurriedly ran into the forest, not noticing the steadily growing blood-trail beneath them. That is, until Naruto noticed it.

"Kakashi-sensei, look!" he exclaimed, pointing to the puddles of blood.

Kakashi looked down, his eye widening, and picked up his pace. "We have to hurry if we want to help whoever is in trouble." He said.

Naruto and the pink haired bitch (I mean Sakura XD), hurried after him, Sasuke following along behind, but not as fast as them.

Just as they pulled back some bushes, they heard another scream, pain-filled, and two dull thuds.

They yanked the bushes back and stopped.

Blood was splattered everywhere! On the trees, on the ground, on the bush they were holding, everywhere.

They saw 5 bodies in the clearing, only one still standing, the other 4 lying on the ground, dead.

The girl was wearing a cloak that covered her completely, except the hood was down at the moment, allowing her beautiful, black hair to flow over it. A bloody katana was in her black-gloved hand. But the strangest thing they saw (at the moment) were the two little, black ookami ears on her head.

The girl turned around, cold, gray eyes coming up to look at them. Her piercing gaze shot shivers up their spines; a mask covered her lower face.

At last, Kakashi had the guts to say something. "…Who are you?" he asked.

"I believe I should be asking that question…" the girl's soft voice replied. It sounded pure, yet had a strange malice in it too that you could miss if you weren't paying really close attention. Her eyes bore into Kakashi's visible eye, as if trying to see into his soul.

"I am Hatake Kakashi, from Hidden Leaf village. You are…?"

The girl lowered her head slightly, as if bowing. "My name is of no importance, and where I'm from…it doesn't matter, it's gone now…" she said, a hint of pain in her tone.

Only then did they notice the blood dripping onto the ground, not from the katana, but from her.

"You're bleeding." Naruto said, looking at her with concern. "Let us help you."

"Iie, I don't need help." She replied, turning around fully to face them.

She wore a black shirt that appeared to have had the sleeves torn off, black, semi-tight pants, black fingerless gloves, a black mask covered her lower face (Like Kakashi 3), and she wore boots too, not to mention the black cloak she had on as well. She sheathed her katana, not taking her eyes off them. There was a large wound on her stomach, as if someone had thrust their arm through it, and they could tell which one.

A guy, not far from where they were standing, had blood on his arm going up all the way to his elbow. A rip in his shirt indicated where the katana had pierced into his chest.

Blood dripped gently to the ground, wetting the dirt below her and turning it into mud, bloody-mud.

"Please let us help you. You're bleeding a lot; your wound should be closed up right away." The pink haired bitch said. (XD

The girl glared at her. "I said I don't need help." She replied icily. "I am perfectly capable of defending myself when injured."

Sasuke had been studying her, well, glaring but studying all the same. "You're a youkai." He said out of the blue. "Aren't you?"

The girl turned her icy gaze to meet his. "…yes, I am… I'm an ookami youkai to be precise…" she said, then turned her back to them. "I must be off…I have things to do, and vengeance to get…"

She disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Naruto turned to Kakashi. "Kakashi-sensei, don't you think we should go after her? I mean, she is really injured and I don't think she should be out like that…I know she's a demon and all, but I don't want her to be in pain either…"

Okie, that was part of chapter 1. It's too long to post up the whole thing. So tell me what u thought about it, and i might post it up or not on FF later! Ja ne!
