Hey people who are still reading this!!


There's about...um...*goes to check how many chapters are left in her journal*, seven chapters left!! But I will probably combine some of them...


So let's continue....


Disclaimer: (I have no idea why I keep putting this) I don't own Yu-Yu Hakusho blah blah blah but I do own Hyacinth (Who is the only original character in this chapter)


NOTE: Hiei might be a teensy weensy bit OOC. I tried.


This is a short chapter, but I want to prolong the agony.

Chapter Seven: The Long Walk


Hiei and I probably walked two miles before either of us said anything. And to my surprise, he was the first one to speak.


"Why did you want to come?" He said abruptly.


"Because Shuichi is my friend." I said.


He just smirked. "I hope you know that Sapphire is a master sorceress who could squash you like a bug and..."


He started rambling on and on about how powerful Sapphire was and how weak I was. Okay Hiei, you can shut up now...


But he kept on. And I couldn't take it much longer.


And that's when I told a complete stranger something that I've never told anyone, my deepest darkest secret...


"WILL YOU SHUT UP? I love him, and I will do anything it takes to get him back!" I screamed, not really knowing what I was saying.


DID I JUST SAY THAT OUT LOUD!?!??!?!?!?!??!?


My hand quickly flew to my mouth, but Hiei's look of surprise had told me he had heard everything loud and clear.


I expected him to say something mean or cruel, but he didn't. The only thing he said was...


"You never told anyone that before, have you?"


I slowly nodded.


He looked down at the ground. "Does he return the feelings?" (Warning: OOC)


I snorted. "Why would he? He has my friend Calandra and..."


Now it was my turn to go on and on about something. I couldn't believe that I was telling all my problems to someone I had met, oh, about an hour ago, but he was listening.


I soon became oblivious to everything else around me expect my own little world where nothing was right.


That's when I noticed that Hiei had disappeared.


As I looked around, someone sharply yanked me behind a bush.


"Are you blind?" Hiei hissed, "You were just about to walk straight into a pack of Sapphire's guards!"


"Sorry." I whispered timidly.


He pulled out his sword. "I'll handle this."


"No." I said, "allow me."


Before he could object, I had strolled out in front of the huge white ogres holding gigantic clubs.


"Hey, who are you?" One ogre who appeared to be the leader said bewilderedly, staring at me.


I just smiled at him.


His face turned angry. "Get her!" He screamed. Another ogre quickly started to charge toward me.


Time to see what you've learned... I quickly focused my energy and the ogre flew up and hit the nearest tree hard.


I glanced back at Hiei, who looked stunned. Guess I'm not such a helpless girl after all...


I turned back to the guards, who had decided to surround me. I looked around and spotted an fallen tree.


It flew up and slammed against all the ogres coming from the back. They flew into different parts of the forest.


I smiled at the ogres who were approaching from the back. "You want some of this?" I said, holding my hands up and waving them around.


"Please, don't hurt us!" One said, and started to run away. The others quicky followed.


I motioned for Hiei to come out.


"Not bad for an amateur." he said, though still looking pretty shocked.


"I'll take that as a compliment." I said, smiling.


We were almost out of the forest, and the sun was starting to peek through the trees.


Almost time...
