Hiei turned down the hallway, heading towards the team's common room when he stopped abruptly, seeing the wind mage leaning on Yukina's hotel bedroom door. Even from the distance between them, he could smell a mix of arousal and Yukina's scent from the wind mage. What was the wind mage thinking? He thought he loved the girl, but when he could not have her, did he go after Yukina?

The wind mage jumped when he saw Hiei, and then got off the door, turned around, and faced him. Challenging him. Hiei bristled at the thought of this demon, any demon laying his hands on Yukina. He looked the wind mage up and down. When the wind mage shook his head, Hiei did not understand what it meant. All he understood was that the wind mage had just come out of Yukina's room looking lustful.

Hiei charged him, shoving him down the hallway, breaking the door down behind him that lead to the emergency staircase, and he went down the stairs. The wind mage landed on his stomach on the landing. Hiei came down the stairs swiftly after him. The wind mage moved to raise to his feet, but froze when Hiei put the sharp tip of his sword on the back of the wind mage's neck.

"What we're you doing in Yu-," Hiei cleared his throat. "Her room?" The wind mage took a deep breath, and shook his head. "I can smell your arousal and I can smell her on you, so you better answer me," Hiei told him as he pushed the sword down harder on his neck. The wind mage sunk his head down, to get it away from the sword. The sword followed him. This stairwell was narrow, but Hiei knew the bigger demon needed more room to fight and fly that the stairwell availed. Hiei on the hand, was smaller and quicker, so he could easily out maneuver the wind mage if needed to. He had the advantage. "Well?" Hiei asked.

"I wasn't forcing her, I swear," the wind mage sputtered out. He gave an insolent glance up at Hiei.

Hiei had pushed up the head band over his forhead. The wind mage gasped and then brought his head to the floor and gripped it tightly with his hands as Hiei searched through his mind to see what he had done to Yukina, a painfully as possible of course. Hiei was taken aback to see the wind mage had just been with the girl, not Yukina, in the hotel room that the two girls shared. Who failed the guard the girl this time? Hiei played the session backwards rapidly, watching the girl turn the wind mage down, watching the wind mage practically beg her to sleep with him, watched the girl freeze just after his cock bumped her. He slowed the memory down when the girl was topless, exposed, and blushing. She certainly was tempting, a little bit soft though. No wonder the wind mage wanted to fuck her. As for the infatuation, if the wind mage really knew her, he would reconsider it.

Hiei let the wind mage's mind go, knowing he would be left with a pounding headache. He must have missed smelling the girl on the wind mage because he was more worried about the wind mage smelling like Yukina. Where had Yukina gone then? He focused his mind, trying to find her without harming her mind at all like he had with the wind mage's. Yukina was safe, with the grim reaper.

He turned his mind to the girl, being sure to be gentle when entering her mind as he had no desire to hurt her like her hurt the wind mage. So gentle that she never even noticed. The girl was sitting on her bed where the wind mage had left her, but fully dressed now. She was feeling overly guilty for leading the wind mage on like she did. He sifted through her mind, noticing her element serpent was trying to comfort her, but she was ignoring it. He found the answer to why she had turned the wind mage down. He gave a soft grunt under his breath. Turns out Hiei had succeeded after all. She desired him, and not the wind mage. She wanted him in her bed still; so much so the girl had actual thought about him when she was with the wind mage. Bandaging her hand and kissing her worked so remarkably well. When this tournament was over and things died down, the girl was going to get exactly what she wished for.

The wind mage had to be kept out the way until then. Hiei went back into the wind mage's mind, as painfully as possibly, trying to figure out how to keep he away from the girl more successfully then he had the last time. The wind mage groaned on the ground; gripping and shaking his head. 'Don't yell her,' he pleaded silently. 'Not again.' He brought his hands up under his shoulders. 'I love her...' He was over the top, glad that Hiei was harming him because it meant he left the girl alone.

Hiei spoke menacingly "If you ever touch her again, I will kill her." It would drive the point home and would guarantee he would stay away from her. He did not mean it of course, but the wind mage did not know that.

"I won't let you," the wind mage countered, falling hook, line, and sinker. The sword blade moved down inline with the side of his neck. It threatened to slice into his flesh. "I won't."

"If you really do think you love her and want to protect her at your own expense, then if leave her alone, I will leave her alive." He flicked the sword across the top of the wind mage's shoulder for good measure. The wind mage gasped moved his arm away from the sword. Hiei stomped on his injured shoulder, making it give a satisfying crack. He felt a slight bit of guilt at enjoying the wind mage's pain so much. "I will do worse to her if you ever come near here again."
