Chapter One- Mixed Emotions
"Kurama, is school almost over yet? We only have one class left for the school year, and now, it seems like it takes forever!" Jenny whined. She's gotten quite good at this really. "Five more minutes," he replied patiently. He knew the girl his entire life so it was pretty obvious that she would complain that class was too long. "Mr. Minamino and Miss Watanabe, is there something you would like to share with the class?" their teacher asked. "No sir," they both replied. "Good." After that, the bell rung and the two ran out of class as quickly as possible. "Yes! It's the weekend!" Jenny smiled. "Here she goes again…" "I'm gonna go to the mall, get some more patches for my shirts, get a LP skateboard since my old one broke in half from grinding it, dying my hair red…or at least a dark blue tint…" "Hn, you always have something to say, don't you, baka?" a voice that Jenny couldn't tolerate. "Hiei, did you have to come now?" Jenny snapped at him. "I just came to talk to Kurama, now bug off," he snapped back. "Why do you two always seem to argue whenever you're together?" Yusuke asked, walking towards the scene. "It's like you two were in love or something!" Kuwabara laughed.
"As if. The guy nearly killed me in his Majin form the last time we went to the Makai," Jenny scoffed. "So what?" he growled. "So? You nearly killed me on purpose!" Jenny screamed back, causing a commotion. "Jenny, you're drawing attention dear," Botan told her. "So what? He tried to kill me for Pete's sake!" "I told you it was an accident!" Hiei told her. "Yeah right! You hated me practically the day we met three months ago!" "Prove it!" he screamed. "Guys, let's take this somewhere else," Kurama suggested. "Stay out of this!" they both shouted. "Just say it Hiei! You hated me now, then, and you'll always hate me!" said Jenny. Hiei grinned out of amusement. "Why are you grinning?!" Jenny was getting really mad now. "It's none of your business," he simply replied, showing his fangs. "Geez! You demons are so annoying!" Jenny shouted. She grabbed her bag and stormed back home.
"Hiei, why do you always pick on the girl every chance you get?" Kurama asked. "It's because the shrimp is in love with her, isn't it?" Kuwabara laughed. "Be quiet, you baka ningen. I just like teasing her, you got a problem with that?" he asked. "No, not really; it's just that she told me that it's really getting on her nerves." "Why did you try to kill her back in Makai?" Yusuke asked. "I told you! I did not mean to kill her! I had no idea what took over me that day!" Hiei shouted. "Why don't you try to explain it to her?" Botan asked. "I try, but she never listens to me," he replied. "I can try talking to her if you want," Kurama told him. "Hn."

"Jenny, just give Hiei a chance. I know that he seems really selfish on the outside, but he's a really good person," Kurama pleaded. "You say that like you're in love with him or something," Jenny replied. Her blue-black hair was up in a bun, she was wearing a white tank top, and black skateboard pants. "Why do you want me to listen to Hiei so much? The guy nearly damn killed me," she told him. "He didn't mean it, Jenny," Kurama insisted. "As if I'm gonna listen to that again! I gave him a chance a while ago and he messed up so my answer is NO!" Kurama sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Besides, even if I did say that Hiei was cute, he's pigheaded and isn't the right type of guy," Jenny accidentally spat out. Kurama spat out his drink and said, "What? You're saying that Hiei is cute?" "No, I said even if I said he was cute. The key word here is if, okay?" she told him calmly. "Sure, whatever you say. It's getting late I must be getting home. Good night Jenny," and he left.
Later that night, Jenny saw a figure in her tree. She sighed in an annoying way, grabbed her tennis ball, and opened the window. "Hiei, that had better not be you again!" "Hn, what if it is?" A figure went into her room and pushed her to the ground. "Ow, you jerk! What are you doing in my room?" Hiei stood up and looked at her. "Something's wrong with Yusuke." "Yusuke? Dude, don't just stand there, let's go!" Hiei picked her up and they soon were on a path to Yusuke's house, or were they?
"Hiei, this isn't the way to Yusuke's house!" Jenny told him. He just kept quiet and kept on running. "Didn't you hear me? I said that this wasn't the way-ow!" He dropped her on the cold ground and smiled. "Are you feeling alright?" "Yes, just perfect, but one problem." "What is it, and why aren't you taking me to Yusuke's place?" "You see, there's nothing wrong with Yusuke, he's perfectly healthy. I had to use him as bait. Secondly, I'm not Hiei." Jenny's eyes widened and she backed away. "If you're not Hiei, then who are you, and why did you trick me?" she asked. "I have taken you away because of the jewel you posses, and because I need a demon mate. I am Mijari, one of the demons from the Nether World. Although I cannot take you to the Nether World, join me in Makai. We will rule over it together," he told her. "Uhh, no way! I'm not being some demon's mate, especially if he looks like a girl! Plus, I'm not a demon!" she argued. "Heh, everyone says no but you'll say yes soon enough!"
