It's a very interesting story. The story is
different from the other stories I have read.
It has a twist in it. Keep up the good work.
Can't wait for the next chapter ^_^
Aqua: *grins* Thankies! I'm trying to make it very different. I have lots of fics on my computer for YYH, but it is surprising how many of them have the same basic storyline (my own included).

Author's Note: In this chapter, Hiei uses the "black energy sword". In the
Japanese verison, its called the "jou ensetsu ken". ^_^; I'm using a rough
translation, and it sounds stupid, I know. Anyway, what the ability entales is
Hiei forming a blade of black fire with his energy. It's basically the same
thing as Kuwabara's spirit sword from the series, but made of black fire
instead.
Reaching Your Limits: A YYH alternate universe
Episode 19: Discovery. Hiei's Demonic Nature
Shuuichi couldn't break his eyes away from Hiei's form as the youth got to his
feet, his shirt stained crimson. He felt as though he were numb, his mind
refusing to take in the image before him. Hiei, standing so easily after being
stabbed through by some kind of sword which the attacker held. Absently, he
noted that the attacker looked similar to the one that had come after him a few
days before.
"You're an idiot to attack now," Hiei growled, turning to face the other.
"If I kill you, I'll get a bonus. The humans are not the only target," the
creature replied, its wide lips twisting into a disjointed smile.
A demon, Shuuichi's brain slowly told him. It was a demon.
He didn't know how it was possible, but it was the only explination. There was
no creature on Earth that looked like that. It was humanoid, but at the same
time it was not. It had the eyes of a snake, and a mouth of sharp fangs.
Electricity suddenly sliced through the air and Shuuichi gasped as the explosion
of white energy flew at Hiei. In the blink of an eye, Hiei was gone. There was a
startled gasp from the demon when Hiei suddenly appeared beside it, punching the
demon hard enough to send it to the ground a few yards away.
"You don't have your katana," Yukina called out, running toward her brother.
He didn't look at her, watching as the demon easily got back to its feet. He
held up a hand to stop her movements. "I know. I'll have to take it down a
different way. My fists won't have much of an affect on its hide," he replied.
Yukina stopped and frowned. "The black energy sword?" she questioned.
"Yes," Hiei replied with a short nod, dodging as the demon attempting to stab
him through once again with its own sword.
"I'll heal you afterward," Yukina called, then returned to Kazuma's side.
Shuuichi watched, his breathing coming in shallow gasps, as black flames
errupted from Hiei's palm. They formed a blade of sorts and the two figures
battled for a few moments, Hiei smirking. He was playing with his opponent,
Shuuichi's mind slowly realized. Hiei was having fun with this battle.
The killing blow came after only a few seconds. Hiei's sword passed cleanly
through the demon and he seperated into two peices before vanishing with a
scream. The sword in Hiei's hand vanished and he fell slightly, his hand raising
to his chest.
In the same moment, all of them were running forward. Yuusuke and Kuwabara were
throwing questions at the youth, while Yukina knelt beside him. They all fell
silent when a blue light came from her hands and closed the wound that peirced
her brother through. She was straining from the effort by the end, but smiled
happily once the wound was completely gone.
Standing, the twins turned and faced the rest of them. There was a long moment
of silence before Shuuichi moved forward, his eyes fixed on Hiei's form. "How
were you able to do that? Were you using spiritual energy, like what Genkai
taught Yuusuke?" he questioned. Even as he asked the words, he felt that the
answer would not be one he wanted to hear.
He wasn't sure if he was disappointed or not when Hiei was unable to meet his
gaze. "We had not planned to let you know this way. We had wanted time to get to
know you all first. I'm not human," he stated. By the end of the sentance, he
had lifted his head again and his eyes challenged them to say something about
it.
"You're a demon," Kuwabara shreeked, then his eyes fell on Yukina. Her eyes were
filled with tears as she looked up at him, apparently fighting back sobs.
"You're a demon too. I should of realized that was why you both felt different."
"Well, it explains a lot," Yuusuke commented, laughing.
Everyone turned to him with wide eyes. Shuuichi felt a smile quivering around
his lips and he began to laugh as well. "It does, doesn't it?" he said. He'd
thought that Hiei was too good to be true. What does a person do when they
discover that the biggest crush of their life is a demon? Laughing at the irony
seemed like a good idea, and Shuuichi surrendered completely to the urge.
Smiling, Yukina began to laugh as well. Her eyes were still sad, but the weight
that had been on her shoulders was gone. Shuuichi hoped that Kuwabara would see
reason, for her sake. And, judging by the dark look Hiei was giving the student,
for his own.
"Why don't the two of you explain everything to us?" he suggested.
"Yes, definately!" Keiko said, jumping forward to grab Yukina's hand excitedly.
"I've never known a demon before. This is so interesting!"
Yukina smiled and hugged Keiko. "I'm glad you aren't frightened of us. Most
humans are afraid, especially of my brother," she said quietly.
"Well, are you going to listen to our explination?" Hiei questioned, his tone
sharp as he looked at Kuwabara.
The student was pale and his body was shaking, but he nodded. Shuuichi let out
the breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding. He had the feeling that things
would work out for the demon and human couple, even if things between them were
different now.
Personally, Shuuichi had to wonder why he wasn't bothered in the least by the
thought of Hiei being a demon.
