Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Yu Yu Hakusho. I only own my characters.

Note: Some people may sound a bit out of character, but I'm trying.

This story might be going a little fast. I'm going to try to explain stuff, but it's hard. I'm not that good at making up names of demons.

This story takes place after Yukina finds out Hiei's her brother.

I have a new idea. again. One chapter about Lenia, one about Faie, etc. up until the two girls meet. Faie's chapters will be written by my friend Erin. Lenia's chapters are written by me. The chapters they are in together are by the two of us.

*~Chapter 1~*

Lenia sat by her open window. The moon was hidden behind a dark rain cloud. The gentle breeze wafted into her room, blowing her black hair past her dark brown eyes. Something doesn't feel right. Something bad's gonna happen. She thought. She walked over to her dresser, grabbed a pair of jeans and a T-shirt; and changed from her pj's into them. Using a pen, she wrote a short note to her parents:

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm sorry but I have to do this. Something bad will happen tonight and I have to stop it. Tell Rico not to follow me. Hugs and Kisses, Lenia

She left the note on her window sill, where she always leaves notes whenever she leaves at night. Lenia lifted herself up onto the sill and extended her hand. A blast of cold air flowed from her hand. Thank you, Mother, for you gift. Lenia thought.

Her mother was an ice koorime; her father, a mere human. That made her part human and part ice. She inherited the power to heal and to form ice from her mother; but not the power to cry tear gems. Lenia thought that was a good thing. A power that she possessed but her mother didn't was the power to control water. Rico, her brother - well, technically, her half brother - was a mix himself, but he's not part human. He's part fire demon and part ice; kind of like Lenia's best friend's brother Hiei.

Their mother's story is kind of like Hina's, the mother of Hiei and Yukina. Hiei was thrown from the Glacier Country because he was part fire demon. Rico was banished from the Glacier Country but instead of throwing him away, their mother chose to leave with him. She brought him to the human world, where she met Lenia's father. They were both so young back then. Her father was in his early 20s and her mother. was in her early 200s. Rico is about 3 years older than Lenia.

Rico used to joke around about their mixed bloods. He said that he should marry Yukina and that Lenia should marry Hiei. Lenia would glare at her brother while Yukina blushed furiously and Hiei sniffed in disgust. Rico would either be frozen in his tracks or almost frozen.

Lenia shook her head from side to side to snap out of her flashback. "Rico, you're wrong. Hiei and I are the exact opposites. We'll never get along." she whispered softly into the darkness. The ice Lenia formed made a little slide. Lenia sat on the window sill and slid to freedom. She slid right into the bushes as the slide melted. There was a sound up in her room. A shadowy figure ran to the window and leaned out.

"Lenia, where did you go?!" Rico shouted.

She stuck close to the side of the house and slowly crept away. I hope no one sees me. I really have to stop whatever is going on. The clouds drifted away from the moon, illuminating the area. Lenia tried to stay in the shadows as much as possible. She knew somehow that it was going to happen at the end of the street, but the street seemed to stretch on for eternity. She started to run, getting impatient, as her footsteps pounded on the black top.

The street ended at the dock, next to the beach. There were two shadowy figures on the beach. Every now and then, a green, thorn-like whip lashed out, countered by a sword. Gradually, Lenia made her way down onto the cool sand. Someone grabbed her from behind and yanked her arms around.

"Ow! That hurt! Let go of me!" She shouted, trying to free herself.

"Let her go." A calm, angry voice said. Lenia looked around and noticed that it belonged to a red-haired boy. He looked like a human, but his spirit energy felt like that of a demon's.

"Why should I?" Her capture growled out. It was a demon of the lowest class. Even her father could have beaten him, and yet, she was held captive by him.

"Because if you don't, I will freeze you." She answered.

Steadily, she lowered her body temperature, causing ice to form around her. The boy tried to reach her; but Lenia glared at him, willing him to stay still. Her captor, the low-class demon, let go of her immediately. She whipped around, positioned her hand on his forehead, and blasted ice right onto it. The demon's body instantly became an ice statue. It glistened in the moonlight, as the boy lashed out with his whip and sliced the statue into pieces. Lenia stared at the boy as the ice showered her.

"Who are you? What are you doing here." she pointed to the pieces left of the demon. "with him."

"I should ask you the same question." He answered with a slight smile.

"I am Lenia, daughter of an ice koorime and a human. I am here because of a bad feeling I got. I felt that something bad was going to happen here, so I came to stop it. Now it's your turn." Lenia said in an all-business tone.

"I am Kurama, known as Shuuichi Minamino to my human mother. I am here because that demon we killed was after her. He wanted to murder my mother as revenge for an action I did." Kurama smiled at Lenia. "Nice to meet you, Lenia."

"Likewise. Human mother? Are you like me, half demon half human?"

"No, I used to be full demon. I fled to the Human World to escape death."

Lenia thought for a moment. "You must be the legendary thief Hiei told me about. The one that chose to become a human."

"So, you know Hiei?" Kurama asked Lenia.

"Ever since I was born. Lashie, my mother was friends with Hina, Hiei's and Yukina's mother."

"Ah. Your mother was the legendary Ice Koorime who chose to leave the Glacier Country." He looked at his watch. "I must be getting back home. My mother must be worried." He extended his hand. "I hope to bump into you again."

Lenia shook his hand. "Well, if you see Hiei before I do, tell him that he owes me an explanation about how my mother became legendary."

He smiled, "That I will do." He started to leave, but decided to turn around and wave to her. Lenia waved back; she could feel the begins of a new friendship.

When Kurama was only a little speck in the horizon, Lenia sat down on the sand. She took off her shoes and stretched out her legs and lied there for a few minutes, just enjoying the feel of the water lapping at her bare feet. The stars twinkled above her and she reached out her hand, as if to touch them.

That was where Hiei found her. "What are you doing?"

"Oh, nothing. Just thinking." Lenia answered half-heartedly.

"I hear that you've met my friend Kurama."

"Yeah." She sighed.

"Lenia, is something wrong? You don't sound like your usual self." Hiei said with a bit of concern in his voice. The half demon gets on his nerves sometimes, but they've shared a long history with each other and he cares for her as a friend.

"Nothing's wrong." She smiled at Hiei. Lenia felt carefree, without a worry in the world.

Hiei sensed that something was wrong. Lenia actually smiled at him and didn't say a single mean comment to him yet. "I'm bringing you back to your house."

He put his arm across her back and below her knees. He lifted her gently and discovered a sharp object stuck in her arm. He pulled it out and sniffed it, trying to figure out what it was. He took out a small container and dropped the object in there. Lenia was bleeding heavily. The sand under her was soaked with her blood. Hiei's eyes widened. How can someone survive after losing so much blood? He thought. He ran all the way back to Lenia's house, carrying her and trying not to jostle her too much.

"Hiei, you found her!" Rico ran out of the house, eager to see his sister again. His eyes widened when he saw Lenia. "Hiei, what happened to her?"

Hiei shook his head sadly, "I don't know."

Rico helped Hiei carry his sister into the house. They made a make-shift bed for her in the living room, where they could keep an eye on her.

"Er. Mom, Dad. We have a bit of a problem." Rico shouted into the kitchen.

His parents came into the living room, with Yukina behind them. Yukina gasped and ran to Lenia's side. Her eyes flicked up to her brother. "Hiei, what happened?"

"I don't know." He answered truthfully. "But Kurama might."

"Keep that demon away from my child." Mako, Lenia's father, said.

Her mother was cradling Lenia's head in her arms. Without looking at the guys, she whispered, "Hiei, please, don't ask Kurama for help. I don't want to see him again."

"Mother, he's very nice." Lenia said weakly.

Lashie gasped, "You've met him?"

"Yes, I met him just a few hours ago. What's wrong with Kurama?" Lenia arched an eyebrow.

Lashie glanced at Lenia's arm. "That's a big gash! How were you cut?"

Hiei handed her the sharp object he found in Lenia's wound. Lashie turned it over in her hand, observing it carefully. She gave a gasp of dismay. "It's coated with a type of poison found in the darkest depths of the Demon World. It came from a killer plant."

Yukina looked at Lashie. "How can we heal Lenia.?"

Lashie closed her eyes, "I don't know. I've only seen the plant once." She sighed, "Hiei, go find Kurama for me. Tell him to forget about our past for a while. I need his help saving my daughter."

Hiei darted out the front door, which Rico had left open. When he was gone, Rico asked, "Yukina, is there anything you can do to help?"

She shook her head sadly. "No. I'm sorry, Rico." Tears came to her eyes.

"It's okay. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry." He put his arms around Yukina, giving her a gentle hug.

Mako sat down next to his wife and held her hand. Everyone sat in silence, awaiting Hiei's return. There was one question in the minds of the children. Finally Lenia spoke up, "Mother, what was your past with Kurama?"

"I." Lashie began.

"Mother, tell us." Rico pleaded.

"Well, before I met your father, Rico, I left the Glacier Country to explore the surrounding lands. I was a very curious girl." She began again.

"Now I know where Lenia got her curiosity." Mako joked.

Lenia made a face, "Go on, Mother."

"I was trapped by a band of thieves. Kurama came to my rescue. He saved me and brought me back to his camp. That's where I stayed until I regained my strength. He took care of me." Lashie continued.

"That doesn't sound so bad." Rico said.

"After a few days, I wanted to leave. He wouldn't allow me to go back home. Kurama said that I was still too weak. One of my friends came to find me and attacked Kurama. Kurama killed him. He never even asked me if I knew him or not." Tears came to Lashie's eyes. "I've never forgiven Kurama for what he's done. He's killed so many innocent people, including one of my friends."

Lenia couldn't imagine a merciless Kurama. From what she's heard, he's a gentle boy. At that point, Hiei burst back into the room with Kurama trailing behind him.

Kurama froze at the sight of Lenia's bloody arm. "What happened?"

Yukina handed him the sharp object. Kurama looked at it thoughtfully. "It's coated by a substance that is made with the Death Plant."

Lashie snapped, "We know that! We need help curing her. Kurama, please save my daughter."

He closed his eyes. "There is no guarantee that she will live, Lashie, but I will try." Kurama brought out a vile of a liquidly substance. He uncorked it and passed it to Lashie. "This should help."

Rico narrowed his eyes, "What is it?"

"Just give it to Lenia." Mako said.

Yukina bandaged up Lenia's arm. Rico helped his sister sit up while their mother poured the drink into her mouth. He laid her back down on the make- shift bed when she finished drinking. "Will she be okay?"

Lashie sighed, "Only time will tell."

They all started to laugh when they heard a little snore come from Lenia. That was when everyone started to relax. Yukina sat on the couch next to Hiei, her head on his shoulder. She was fast asleep; all the excitement had worn her out. Hiei was looking very content, with his sister next to him. He was dozing off, leaning on his arm. Rico lied down on the other couch. After a few minutes, he too was asleep. Mako unrolled a sleeping bag for himself and crawled into it. He rested his head on the pillow and went to sleep. Lashie opened a window and sat down next to it, staring up at the dark night sky. Kurama walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.

Lashie tried to shrug it off. "Kurama, I don't need to talk to you right now."

Kurama sat down next to her. "Lashie, I apologize for what I did 50 years ago."

"I understand. You were a ruthless killer, a legendary thief, back then. Now, I see that you became kindhearted. If it was still Yoko, you wouldn't have come. You would have let Lenia die. Being human has taught you a lot, Kurama. I can see that." Lashie didn't let Kurama say anything.

Finally, when Lashie was finished, Kurama could explain. "That is true. I have changed, but so have you. We have both learned human emotions."

"I forgive you, Kurama. After all, you might have just saved my daughter's life." She smiled at Kurama.

Lashie walked into her room and lied down on the bed. She slowly drifted off to sleep, where she dreamed about her old home, the Glacier Country. Kurama sat on a chair by the table. He fell asleep with his head and his arms on the table.

The next morning, Lenia was the first one awake. The sunlight was streaming in through the window her mother had left open. She got up and walked over to the window, staring outside. Lenia trotted to the pool in her backyard. Her first step onto the water was hesitant. Her next step more confident and so on until she got to the middle of the pool. She waved her arms around, manipulating the water. The water formed a dome over her and then cascaded down around her, without touching her. Hiei stood there, watching Lenia. Lenia gave a small cry of shock when she spotted him and fell into the water with a splash. Hiei dived in to help her get out of the water. They were dripping wet when they got back on land. With a wave of her arm, the water rolled right off her skin and clothing; and with anther wave of her arm, Hiei was dried off, too.

"Why are you here?" Hiei demanded.

"I know I'm supposed to be in bed, but. I got bored so I decided to train a little." Lenia explained.

"You should go back to bed." Hiei walked back into the house.

Lenia followed reluctantly. Yukina jumped up and gave her a hug. She whispered, "I'm so happy you are feeling better, Lenia."

Lenia smiled at her friend and went back to her "bed". She closed her eyes and went into a light slumber, dreaming of Kurama and Hiei.
