Author's Notes: Okay, I know that Keiko sudden love for Hiei is, well, sudden, but there *is* a reason why it's like that. You're going to have to wait for it though. The reason comes in later chapters though, so you'll be waiting for a while. ^___^' Please don't kill me . . .
To mizustarangel: Yep. It was fast, but I do have one hell of a good reason for it! Thanks for the review!
To An'ei no Tenshi: ^___^ Thank you! And yes, I think Hiei's hot too . . .
To Queen Death Dragon: ^___^' Hehehe, please don't kill me QDD. The reason why she is so suddenly attracted comes in later chapters, not this one. Please don't kill me!
To Jen: Aww, you're too kind! You're reviews always brighten my day! Thanks Jen!
To BlackFire13: YAY! I'm glad you seem to enjoy this story so much! And don't you worry your 'lil head! Keiko is going to find *plenty* of things to do while Hiei's away.
To Black Gem: I left someone speechless?! Woohoo! Go me! Thanks for the review!
To Jokid: Thanks, that's nice of you to say so!
To Danger Kitty #1: I'm supposed to tell you when I update every single time?! Oops. Sorry. Thanks for the review!
To KawaiiKitsune: Cool! I'm a great writer chick! *Smiles* I don't have patience either. Whoever said it was a virtue should wait 'patiently' while we beat them over the head with sticks. Thanks for the review!

To Lady Light: Aww thanks! You're too nice!
To asian princess 61: I can read K/H fics, but I'm not too fond of them either, unless it's smut *hentai grin*. Glad you like and don't worry, this isn't K/H. I can't write yaoi . . . yet.

SECRETS IN MY BLOOD, CHAPTER 9
Hiei walked by his three companions in the dismal forest. The ground was covered in a thick blanket of red leaves. The wind stirred the leaves, making it seem like a scarlet ribbon had just pasted by them.
But it wasn't autumn.
What made these leaves red was the blood that had been splattered on them. And there was a great deal of it. Long before they had even entered this battlefield, the fire demon and fox spirit had registered the smell of mass death.
A massacre had taken place here.
It was most likely the demon they had come for. He had probably caused this destruction. It didn't take someone like Kurama to guess that the heirloom Koemma had lost was a potentially deadly one, even Kuwabara could see that. It was not this that bothered the fire demon though, nor was it the fact that no one could find any bodies.
In fact, the nature of this worry was of another subject entirely.
It was Keiko. That cobra demon was what bothered him. She had nearly killed him with her toxic nails. Granted it had been an accident, at least he thought it had been, but it was unwise of him to let his guard down. Like his first meeting with Yusuke, he had let his guard down and paid dearly for it.
However, it was what happened after that confused him the most.
He felt the poison work its way down to his heart, to finally end his miserable existence. At first, the pain had been immense, he had wanted to scream. Hiei held it in though; even then he refused to show any simulation of weakness.
Then his body had gone numb.
Hiei did not fear death. For as long as he could remember, he had lived with the possibility of each day being his last in the land of the living. Normally though, when he envisioned his death, he had seen himself die after a glorious victory. Yes, even Hiei had a death wish. He would die cold and alone.
He would die a ruthless killer.
So, one could imagine how odd it might seem to him that his end would be the result of a barely whole cobra demon scratching him. None the less, he was willing to except his fate. His mind had been clouded. Just breathing, let alone talking, was becoming a more and more strenuous effort. His body pleaded, no, begged for him to let go and sink into the inviting darkness that awaited him.
But Hiei had one last thing he needed to do.
He gave Keiko the necklace from Yukina. True, he would have rather not have given it to her at all and kept his secret, but . . . he owed it to Yukina. To at least bring her search to an end.
Even if it wasn't a happy one.
After that, he just waited for the poison to accomplish its task. For a fleeting moment, he worried for Keiko's safety in the demon realm, but that thought was soon smothered by the looming darkness. Hiei decided it must have been the toxins in his body, making him think that.
And the pain began again.
It hurt so much more this time. The fire demon wanted to voice this displeasure, but he was too weak. It felt, whatever this pain was from, like a serpent with spikes on its back was coursing through his blood stream. Then it stopped in his throat. The poison, he had guessed what it was, nearly choked him. Hiei had been faintly aware of something soft and gentle lifting up his head. The poison started to slide back down his throat.
Then his entire world was thrown into chaos.
Hiei had heard Keiko mumble something, but he knew it was too late for him. Only a second or two remained, his demise was inedible. The fire demon had sensed Keiko shifting . . . and that was when it had happened.
She had kissed him, thus saving his life.
Her lips were fiery hot against his abnormally frigid mouth. Forcing his jaw apart, she had managed to suck the poison into her own mouth. The entire experience was nothing short of shocking. Hiei had expected her to just let him die; after all, he had not been very kind to her. She risked his rage in order to save him.
This puzzle was perplexing.
Why had she saved him? Why did she save him in *that* way? Had there not been another way? Why hadn't he killed her right away for touching him in such an intimate manner?
Why couldn't he answer these questions?
This is what he had wanted to talk to Keiko about before. The fire demon may be many great things, but a master of emotions such as these, was not one of them. The fire demon scowled, he loathed it when he was not in complete control of his life. When he did not understand everything that was happening.
"Hiei!" Yelled a voice.
In front of the fire demon was none other then Yusuke Urameshi, waving a hand in his face. Apparently, Hiei had been more involved in his thoughts then he had believed himself to be. It was odd, because he almost always had one eye on the world around him. Although here, it was usually three eyes.
"What?" Growled the fire demon.
"You've been even more quite then usual, if that's possible. And Kuwabara has insulted you three times in the last five minutes." Said Yusuke, rubbing the back of his head.
"Why bother? It's not as if his puny mind would understand anything I said back." And with that, Hiei took to the trees. The curses of an outraged human following him.
Hiei smirked as he sped through the trees in the forest. That idiot human. But as soon the voices were completely gone, the fire demon realized his mistake. He was alone. Being alone was not a problem; he spent much of his time by himself. But this was not a good time for him to be left to just his thoughts. He struggled to clear his mind, like he had many times before, but his thoughts overcame his mental barriers.
He unwillingly sat down in a tree and began to lose himself to his thoughts.
After Keiko had saved his life, the fire demon was overcome with the desire to sleep. He slept, but while he did so, he dreamed. The dreams were most unusual. Unusual for two reasons. It was strange because these were his first dreams; normally, he had only nightmares and even those had long sense disappeared. The second reason had to do with what actually took place in the dreams and the overall 'feel' of the dream.
In his experience with nightmares, they were normally blurry and it you more sensed the danger then saw it. This was not how it was in these dreams. Everything, well, almost everything had been remarkably acute.
The dreams had had a rather . . . disturbing theme to them as well. He never knew his own subconscious could be so devious.
This is took place in his dreams:
He was standing in the forest. It was daylight. Everything looked unbelievably peaceful for a Makai forest. It was then he had noticed that this was *not* a Makai forest. Nowhere in the Makai were there these strange trees, these weeping willows.
Hiei scanned the area for anything familiar. The ground was level, and covered with a lush green carpet of grass. Next to the biggest weeping willow, that was only a few feet away from him, was a pool of perfectly clear water and seemed to have no bottom to it. He did not recognize any feature of this place.
Hiei looked down at himself. In stead of his usual dark garb, he wore a crimson and gold tunic with matching pants. Dragons, flames and suns were intricately sewn on the clothes in dizzying patterns. Even though these clothes flattered his form greatly, it disturbed him. The fire demon did not remember coming here of his own accord, nor did recall dressing in these clothes. Worse still, was the fact that his kanata had conveniently gone missing.
This place was perfectly silent. No noises dare to disrupt the quietness of this place, whatever this place was. He himself did not even try to disrupt the silence. It just seemed wrong to do so.
"Hiei?"
His head turned to the place he believed the sound to have originated. He could not though, because the voice had come from all directions.
"Answer me Hiei."
The voice was not unkind or demanding. Quite the opposite to be honest. It was lovely and tranquil, soothing and soft. Somehow, in some way, it was almost familiar. Then the fire demon remembered the disembodied voice's request.
"What do you want?"
Hiei almost winced. His own voice was like a blast of artic air in this warm comforting place. Instead of reprimand or harsh words, the voice simply laughed. The laugh did not sting or mock him. Like everything else here, it was pleasant.
After a while, the laughter slowly faded. Hiei was not sure whether to be relieved or sorry. Then from the corner of his eye, he saw something.
With a speed to rival that of light, Hiei turned, his hand instinctively going to where the hilt of his kanata should have been. The form laughed the same pleasant laugh he had heard before.
So, the voice had a body after all.
A female body to boot. A seductively curvy body to be more specific. Her hips swayed and her loosely tied purple and cream kimono looked as if it was about to come undone. It was a bit much for his modest eyes. Hiei glanced at her face, but she had a mask over it. The mask was cream colored with little emerald green gems lining the edges. The mask only covered her eyes and part of her forehead, but it was impossible for Hiei to tell who it was. He couldn't even really see her eyes thought the delicately made holes made for them.
"Well?" She said with her arms outstretched
In his head, Hiei was thinking that this girl was insane for thinking he would embrace her. His body though, obviously had not gotten that memo.
With some panic, alright, a lot of panic, he moved toward the girl. When he reached the girl, Hiei wrapped his arms around her. She pressed herself against him. Hiei then whispered something he could not understand into her ear.
All this time, Hiei was frantically trying to regain control of his traitorous body. All these actions were not his. All these gestures and tender touches were not his. His mind had almost taken back control, but then, like with the poison, it was smothered.
But this time, it was raw emotion that smothered him.
Hiei had lied to himself long ago when he convinced himself emotions were worthless. Yukina was proof enough. Without her, his life was meaningless. He needed her to go on.
But where in seven hells were these feelings coming from?!
He did not know this girl, at least he did not think so, yet he felt very strongly for her. It was odd. It was unreal. But it was happening all the same.
The girl moved her hands from his arms very slowly up to his neck, feeling very part of his upper body before finally tangling them in his hair. Hiei seemed to have finally gotten some control back, as he could feel his eyes widen significantly and he was blushing slightly.
The girl giggled shyly and blushed as well, but she was still far more calm then Hiei. Standing on her toes, the girl leaned up to his face and they were less then one centimeter away from each other. His mind wanted to know what the hell this vixen thought she was doing as she steady drew closer when . . .
Keiko had woken him up.
One could see how this dream might have made him doubt his current state of sanity. It must have been the poison. Nothing else could have made him dream what he had!
Actually, Hiei was only partially right.
"What did that demoness do to-" Thought Hiei when.
"Hey half-pint!"
Hiei looked down at the three other members of the Spirit Detectives. For once, he was actually glad they had disturbed him. His thoughts had almost begun to travel into dangerous territory.
Author's Notes: Okay, I know that Keiko sudden love for Hiei is, well, sudden, but there *is* a reason why it's like that. You're going to have to wait for it though. The reason comes in later chapters though, so you'll be waiting for a while. ^___^' Please don't kill me . . .
