Daydreaming a dream...

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho.

Hiei opened his eyes, the wind was slapping at his redden cold face, it had seemed as if it where darker than before. The evening was masquerading as night, but the clouds gave the effect. They twirled of shades as fine silk colored in grays and blacks. The mist poured visibly in the distance to Hiei, it was raining in that area. Everything was dulled, dead looking yet full of life the vegetation was. Some trees that were upon death seemed to scream out for the rain while the wind wildly plucked leaves off of the swaying twig like fingers. Other bushes and trees glowed in various greens, some lighter than others but still full of life. Still standing on the branch of the tree, he looked upon which was not a dream. Blinking to make sure, he realized that he must have passed out or just dowsed off to sleep. Maybe his spiritual energy had run low from controlling Kuwabara and it caused a strain on him. Fog had reached the area covering the soil of the ground. Falling from the cloudy heavens, a single bead of water splashed onto Hiei's nose. Glancing with his twisted eyes at the sky above, he whipped the wet liquid off his nose with his sleeve. The sun was gently descending giving the atmosphere a reddish tint to the air even though the sun was not perceptible. He jumped down from his perch and slowly walked in the direction of the entity that caught his eye.

From blackness became the visible environment. Looking around this place, it was not a familiar sight it was un-wanted. From what he had remembered this is not where he was of late, was it perhaps a dream and he fell asleep? Looking around in apprehension and anxiety he could barely remember what the dream was or if it was reality, he didn't remember. "Where am I," the man cried, startled looking around. He pinched himself to know he was awake as daylight. Shivering from head to toe, he noticed fog covering his feet and part of his legs; he wondered if he had sleepwalked off from his house. Pacing forward, he was thrown ahead as he stepped into a deep puddle of water; lifting his shoe up, his black shoe was drenched in filthy, muddy brown water. The sock that was enclosed in his shoe was soggy. He hated that feeling and wanted to take his sock off of his freezing foot. The ground was unclear and he couldn't tell if he was about to walk into a lake or river or if it was just a puddle so he turned around.

Kuwabara found something familiar, and he didn't like the sight of which he saw, it was Hiei and the feelings of both men where mutual. He also noticed Hiei carrying his katana in front of him heading at his direction. Were they on a case with Yusuke? "What is going on Hiei? How did I get here?" Kuwabara asked as he causally walked to Hiei. Hiei of course was not talking; his face, the emotion seemed possessed but Kuwabara didn't think much of it. Nothing was any different about Hiei that Kuwabara could see in his own eyes, Hiei was acting the same he always did. As Hiei stepped closer to Kuwabara, he noticed that Hiei's eyes showed a different story, they where burning in anger just staring at him so he took a step back. The metallic blade crossed Kuwabara's chest and face, slashing his blue overcoat. Pulling himself back in time so that the sword wouldn't cut him any worse than it did, he fell backwards. With his arm out stretched in front of him as he fell, Hiei slowly went out of his sight as he smashed onto the cold floor. He had fallen into a huge puddle that wasn't that far behind him, the one he turned around from. Cold and wet, Kuwabara got up from the ground feeling a stinging pain around his neck and face. Leeches had taken hold of him and he picked at them throwing the creatures back to the ground. As one sucked the blood from his hand, he grabbed a hold of it and threw it toward Hiei. Hiei made a slight movement as the leech flew to him slicing it in half as it touched his katana. Kuwabara looked around him to make sure there were no more leeches attached to him.

Headed on a downward fall, the rain struck viciously. Lightning raced through the darkened skies as thunder crashed through the clouds sending shockwaves of sounds throughout the air. Kuwabara stunned and nonetheless surprised by Hiei's action had no need of asking questions; he would make his move and fight Hiei. He ran at Hiei throwing punches as hard and fast as he could. Hiei dodged each and ever attack Kuwabara had ended but Kuwabara jumped up and kicked Hiei on the side of his mouth. As Hiei reacted to it, blood spilled out of his mouth and he adjusted his jaw popping it. Hiei felt a loose tooth and with two fingers ripped it out throwing it on the watery surface. This reminded Kuwabara of movies he had seen where a character would do the same thing, he never knew why but seeing it in real life, he never wanted to find out.

Hiei had advantage of the situation, with his katana in hand; he swiped left and right demolishing Kuwabara's school uniform. Kuwabara tried getting Hiei off him so he did a round house and then squatted down and maneuvered his leg straight ahead making Hiei jump up. He wasn't done though; he then pushed his leg from one side and tripped Hiei as he jumped back to the ground. Kuwabara took off his tarnished clothing revealing his bare chest. Blood dribbling down his belly mixed with the water flowing down his skin. The slit in his chest crossed from above his abs to the middle of his chest, it wasn't that bad but if he hadn't pulled back he probably would of died. He stuck his arms in front of him for a defense stance; he was relaxed, he moved with grace. Kicking into the air, Hiei tried hitting his wounded area but Kuwabara grabbed hold of his leg and pushed it back. Hiei instead did a spin kick, which caught Kuwabara on the side. He waved his arm cutting through the rain at Hiei's neck, but Hiei blocked it with the back of his wrist. As his arm stood in place, as did Hiei's, Kuwabara took his other arm little by little back to where his fist met his rib cage and flung it forward into Hiei's stomach.

On his knees, Hiei pretended to be injured and then raised his fist into Kuwabara's chin. Kuwabara held his chin to ease the pain but he shook it off like it was nothing even though it was torturing him. He stood high and ran at Hiei and as he got close to him he let go punch after punch, kick after kick, but Hiei was able to avoid each and every one. Hiei countered Kuwabara's last attack, striking each side of Kuwabara's neck. Kuwabara's nose started to bleed but he grabbed onto Hiei's chest and ran him into a tree, slamming his back against the bark of the plant. As Hiei was stunned, Kuwabara kicked Hiei in the side and slammed his right hand into his stomach and finally before Hiei countered, he punched violently at his face. Hiei then snatched Kuwabara's arm and spun around having his back face Kuwabara and pulled him forward flying in front of Hiei onto the ground. Elevating his leg, Hiei slammed his foot into Kuwabara's rib cage. Screeching in pain, Kuwabara rolled to his side holding his chest and slowly got on his hands and knees to get up, but Hiei kicked his stomach hurling him back on the dirt. In a already bad situation, Hiei walked over and took his katana into his hand as black fire radiated around the sword. Wrapped in a spiraling black haze, Hiei held his blade as he pitched it at Kuwabara, cutting into his shoulder.

Holding his fresh wound, blood spewed out of his skin down to his fingertips. As Hiei ran to take him down, a glowing light appeared in front of Kuwabara shielding him from the attack. Kuwabara had a spirit sword in his hand blocking the move and now they both had swords to fight with. Yellow hit upon black as black hit against yellow, the clashing sounds of their weapons filled the vicinity. Staying calm, Kuwabara thought of Yukina and it helped the pain go away for him. Yukina, the star in his eyes, his world gave him added moral and as he fought with Hiei, it had seemed that he had not been fighting, that he was rejuvenated. As both swords stroked each other, the skirmish raged on. As the fight progressed and as both men wouldn't give up, Hiei had a feeling of de ja vu, that he had been in this same event before and he thought about his daydream he had as he stood on a branch earlier that day. He wondered about it but he tried paying no attention. Fiercely battling each other, slash after slash, cut after cut, blood was the scent of the air as they persisted the fight. Kuwabara had a generally good idea why Hiei attacked him and Hiei knew exactly why he attacked Kuwabara. He thought for a second that perhaps Hiei fancied Yukina that he wanted her and he wanted to rid the competition so he could make his move. Suddenly, his thoughts changed, Hiei did as he had foreseen in his vision like daydream. Hiei didn't know why he had did it, even after having that premonition, was it meant to be that Kuwabara would find out? Hiei though as he flew in midair at Kuwabara that he might give up the thought of Yukina now that he knew that they were siblings. As Hiei's sword came down at Kuwabara, his spirit sword changed into a sledgehammer and swinging it like a baseball bat, he slammed it in Hiei's chest. Hiei collided into a tree snapping it like a twig. The tree came crashing down at Kuwabara's feet, the leaves scratching at his body.

Things went a little different that Hiei had anticipated, even with some important events that happened in his dream, happened in real life. He was confused at why he has said that statement. It was unlike him, he thought as he lay on the ground staring at the sky. He didn't have an answer for the question. Kuwabara fell on his knees looking down at the ground, as he was utterly exhausted. He knew now why Hiei had attacked him, why he brought him to this place. Hiei was Yukina's long lost brother, but it didn't matter where Yukina came from or whom she was related to in Kuwabara's eyes, he loved her with all his heart, body and soul. Both warriors knew it was over, they spent that evening going into the night fighting each other. Hiei, slowly got up and stumbled toward Kuwabara who starting to fall asleep. "If you think I'll agree with you wanting my sister, your wrong, but since your that stupid to fight me with all your strength and survive, I'll give you three chances to prove your undying love for her, if you succeed in each one," said Hiei turning his back throwing on his piece of material to cover the Jagan eye, "...you may have her but only if she has true feelings about... your pathetic hide!" With that, Kuwabara's heart beat faster, he had a chance to be with Yukina but he was puzzled that Hiei could ever make such a deal, and why didn't he tell Yukina that he was her brother? Through the pain, Kuwabara was filled with over joy as Hiei began to walk off into the fog filled forest.
