Disclaimer: If I owned YYH, I wouldn't be writing this. Notes: In this chapter, you will discover more about Nightshade. You will also learn why Hiei has been acting so freaky. As I have said before, pairings are: Y/K K/Y H/OC K/OC. This IS a romance fic.

A Quick Review of What's Been Going On: Amelia Rose has just moved to Japan. She has the ability to sense spirit energy. The Reikai Tentei show up at her house and warn her. She is kidnapped by the demon Nightshade. The Reikai Tentei have to save her. Hiei is being nice to Kuwabara and is somehow connected to Nightshade. Why does Nightshade want Amelia? And what does she mean when she says she's 'Hiei's lover'? You'll find out soon enough. Now, on with the story!!!

A Girl Named Amelia ch. 3: New Discoveries

"You mean.?" asked Hiei out loud. "Yes!" said Nightshade, "I am Ataria!" Everyone looked shocked. "When did you become evil?" asked Kuwabara. "I was always evil, Kuwabaka," she said casually. "Hey!" yelled Kuwabara. "I was evil before I wound up in the garden!" cried Nightshade, " and now, I'm going to steal this girls power," Yusuke started laughing. "What's so funny Yusuke?" asked Kurama. "Amelia doesn't have any powers," Yusuke answered. "Actually," said Kuwabara, "Amelia has heightened spirit awareness," Yusuke stopped laughing. Nightshade smiled. She began the fight by using her trademark move. "Orb of Darkness!" she said. A black orb appeared in her hands. "Sword of the Darkness Flame!" yelled Hiei. Nightshade's Orb of Darkness paled in comparison to Hiei's Sword of the Darkness Flame. When the smoke of the battle cleared, Hiei's sword was charred and his arm was badly burned. Nightshade was on the ground. Kurama and Hiei ran over to where Amelia lay. Kurama carried the unconscious girl back to his house. The others followed him.

~~~~~~~Spirit World~~~~~~~~~

"They did it!" cried Koenma. Botan, Koenma, and Ogre were too busy rejoicing to notice that Nightshade was not dead. She slowly got up. "We'll meet again Hiei," she quietly promised, "I swear," With that, Nightshade disappeared into the darkness. Then Botan and Koenma noticed the big-screen TV. "Where's Nightshade?" asked Botan. "Uh-oh," said Koenma, "My dad's gonna kill me,"

~~~~~~~~~~TWO WEEKS LATER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Amelia woke to find that she wasn't in her own room. She didn't know where she was. Suddenly, Suichi walked in. (AN: Suichi is Kurama's human name) "Suichi?" Amelia asked, "Where am I?" "You're in my room," he said, "You've been asleep for the past two weeks," "What happened Suichi?" Amelia asked. Before he could answer, Botan, Kuwabara, Kayko, and Yusuke walked in. "How are you doing?" asked Kayko. "I'm fine," said Amelia, "Where's the short guy?" Right on queue, Hiei walked in. "Hello Mr. Sensitive," said a smiling Yusuke. "Call me that one more time, and I'll kill you," said Hiei. "What's going on?" asked Amelia, "I'm not stupid. I remember Nightshade," Everyone looked worried. "I think you should tell her Kurama," said Botan. "Who's Kurama?" asked Amelia. "I guess we should tell her the whole thing," said Suichi, "First of all, I'm Kurama. Suichi is only my human name," "Demons are not real," Amelia said to herself, "Spirit Detectives are not real. Toddlers who control ghosts are not real. The Grim Reaper is not real," Everyone was staring at Amelia. "SPIRIT ENERGY IS NOT REAL!" she yelled. Suddenly, Koenma in his teen form appeared. Amelia stared at him. "This is just a dream," she told herself. "Why did we have to rescue her?" asked a POed Yusuke. "Because," said Koenma, "she has heightened spirit awareness," "Who's the guy have a pacifier in his mouth?" asked Amelia. "I'm Koenma," said Koenma, "I'm in charge of Spirit World," "Spirit World isn't real," Amelia told him. "We have a lot to tell you," Koenma told her. He snapped his fingers and they were all in Spirit World. Botan was in her pink kimono. "I'm not human," she told Amelia, "I'm the Grim Reaper, so to speak," "I'm the legendary Spirit Detective," said Yusuke. "I'm a Spirit Detective too Urameshi!" Kuwabara yelled. "I'm a fire apparition," said Hiei. "I'm a kitsune," said Kurama. "I'm normal," said Kayko. "I have heightened spirit awareness," said Kuwabara, "and so do you," Just then, Yukina appeared next to the group. "Hello everyone!" she said. "Who are you?" asked Amelia. "I'm Yukina," said the ice maiden. "Yukina is an ice apparition," said Koenma. "Amelia," said Kurama, "could Hiei and I talk to you for a minute?" "Sure," said Amelia.

"Normally," said Kurama, "Hiei isn't nice to anyone except Yukina. We think that you had something to do with his strange behavior Amelia," "You guys can call me Mia if you want," she said. "Mia," said Kurama, "Did you do anything to Hiei before you were kidnapped?" "No," said Amelia, "Wait," Kurama and Hiei stared at her. "I thought he should be a little nicer to those around him, and then you guys left," "I see," said Kurama. He looked into Amelia's eyes. She blushed and turned away. "I think she likes you kitsune," said Hiei. Kurama turned Amelia to face him. She looked deep into his emerald eyes. She saw comfort and warmth. She smiled a little. "I think I'll leave now," said Hiei as he backed away. Neither Kurama nor Amelia heard him. They were lost in the moment. Amelia suddenly turned away and began to weep silently. She felt Kurama against her. She felt so safe in his arms. She felt that she could stay in his arms for eternity. Amelia was brought back to reality when she heard the voices of the others. "Look at the cute couple!" said Yusuke. "They seem so happy together," said Kayko. Amelia blushed a little. "I think I'm gonna be sick," said Hiei. A look of fear appeared on Amelia's face. "What is it?" asked Hiei. Amelia couldn't speak. She pointed behind Hiei. Everyone turned around. A girl with black hair and blue eyes was behind Hiei. "I knew we'd meet again," she said. "Nightshade!" said Hiei. "Didn't you kill her?" asked Yusuke. "Um," said Koenma, "After you guys defeated her and left, she disappeared too," "Hiei," said Nightshade, "Can I talk to you for a moment?"

Nightshade pulled Hiei into the darkened corner of the room. "I've been looking for you for five years," she said. "Why?" asked Hiei. "To tell you," said Nightshade, "That I love you," Hiei was speechless. "When I found you and Botan sitting in the park together, I knew what was going on," "She asked me where Kurama was," said Hiei. "Sure," said Nightshade sarcastically. "Ataria," Hiei said, "You're the only one I ever loved," Nightshade turned to look at him. "Where's the girl I once knew?" Hiei asked her. "She's still here," she said, "Trying to find out who she really is," "I love you," Hiei said. Tari smiled. Hiei kissed her gently. "And if you truly love me," he said, "Then give up on evil," "I will," said Ataria. They kissed once more and then went back to the others.

"Another couple," Koenma said sadly. "What's wrong?" asked Kayko. "I don't have a girlfriend," Koenma pouted. "I can't be your girlfriend," said Botan, "But I can be your friend," "Okay," Koenma said. Yusuke was trying not to laugh. "What's so funny?" Kayko asked him. Yusuke pointed at Kurama and Amelia.

"Why do you cry?" Kurama asked Amelia. "No one truly cares about me," she said. "I care," said Kurama. Amelia looked up at him. Kurama leaned down and kissed her gently. "I love you," he said. He kissed her again.
