"You must not tell her...ever...ever...ever...ever...ever..."
Hiei sat on the trashcan of an alleyway. His eyes were shut in thought, and he gave away the appearence that he was asleep.
"Oi, Hiei." Yusuke strode over to where the Demon sat on top the trashcan. "Whatcha doing out this late?"
"I could ask you the just the same."
"Yeah, well...Genkai's got me out and about doing her chores. You'd think training would be enough but nooooooo..." He had to rearrange the way he was holding all the bags so he didn't drop any.
"So now what? Does she think you're her lackey or something?" Hiei asked, not really interested in an answer, just wanting to try to make small talk.
"Seems that way." Putting the bags down, Yusuke eyed Hiei and poked him. "Hey, are you alright?"
"I was but your poking is not improving my status." Hopping from the trash can Hiei walked away purposely bumping into Yusuke.
"Sorry, man." The Spirit Detective mumbled more to himself then Hiei and he picked up the bags again and headed towards Genkai's shrine. "What do old lady psychics do with prune juice anyways?"
"Stupid humans...all of them." Hiei grumbled to himself as he looked for a new place to crash. "They all get too emotional..." That small spark of evil roused Hiei's thoughts.
'Why not just go for the green? Take what you want and let no one stand in your way? You can do it you know...you have enough power... The world is yours to take...' The nagging voice repeated itself like an echo within a cave. Hiei shook his head, shutting both eyes tight.
"No!" The Youkai held his head with both hands, and he stumbled into the brick wall of a building.
'Come join us, Hiei... You know this is where you truly belong... You never had good within your blood, you've always been pure evil... You know this. You're in denial. Admit it, Hiei. Admit that you are evil. You belong in this Hell Hole, but if you join us, we can make it worth your while...' As the words vibrated small chants could be heard. Pictures flashed before his eyes.
"Hina...! Yukina...! Mukuro...! ..." Then the last most recent picture flashed before his wide eyes. "...Kurama...!" The grip upon his head became loose, and his arms hung limply at his sides. Slowly, Hiei straightened up to his full height, eyes blank.
Reaching within his pocket, he pulled the Hiruiseki gem out and after a moment of staring at it, he threw it to the ground. It sparkled for a moment before growing dull and sinking into the scenery. Leaving it behind, Hiei began to walk slowly, as if in a trance. In truth, Hiei had no destination in thought mentally, but his feet thought otherwise as they guided him along his way.
"I'm comming...for you...Kurama..."
Within the shadows, several figures stood. Eyes glowing a brilliantly sickening yellow, they all cackled a deep, insane laugh. 'Bwahahahaha! The fool. If only he knew...ha, but that's what makes our job fun.' There was a bit of murmured answers, and the four pairs of eyes narrowed.
