Yusuke: Well guys Authoress does not own YYH or any related characters, she does own Nikki and any characters not in YYH. Now onto chapter 3.

Chapter 3: The Demon and Hiei Kidnapped?

Yusuke fell onto his face as he appeared in the Makai. Kuwabara landed on top of the already fallen spirit detective. Kurama and Hiei landed on their feet next to the two Ningens. Hiei smirked at the detectives before striding off into the woods.

"Hey Baka would you get off me already," Yusuke said sharply from under Kuwabara.

Kuwabara got off of the Spirit detective, "Hey where's shorty?"

"He has already gone ahead towards the woods," Kurama stated, "We had better hurry."

"Yeah okay," Yusuke said also getting up from the ground.

The three lingering spirit detectives followed after the fire demon. As they entered the Makai forest they noticed an unusual increase in spirit energy. They decided to follow the energy, hoping it will lead them closer to the demon they are after. The closer they got, the more powerful it became. Kurama walked into at clearing ahead of Yusuke and Kuwabara. He fell to his knees clutching his head as waves of pain ripped through it and his body. Youko Kurama took over to get them both away from danger, but he just laid on the ground cringing in pain. Yusuke came into the clearing next, but was not affected by what ever dropped the fox demon to the ground.

"Kuwabara stay with Kurama. I'm going to find Hiei," Yusuke said heading towards the woods following the energy.

He followed the energy for about ten minutes before suddenly hitting an invisible barrier. A demon came forward and just smirked at the detective. He looked human and had white hair down past his shoulders, dark crimson eyes, dark skin, and pointed ears. He wore a black sleeveless shirt tied closed by a black silk sash, black baggy pants, and no shoes. He dragged the unconscious form of Hiei up to the barrier. Yusuke formed his spirit gun prepared to shoot the demon.

"Ah Detective. I see my Bell of Eternal Silence does not affect you," the demon said in a smooth, velvety voice.

Yusuke glared at him, "Your what?"

"My Bell of Eternal Silence. You see it inflicts tremendous pain on demons when they hear it. The sound is much too high for Ningen ears to hear, but unfortunately for you demon friend here he has heard it fully. By now he has retreated so far into his mind while trying to escape the sound he will be susceptible to any command I give," the demon explained a smile plastered on his lips.

"And just who are you anyway," Yusuke demanded.

"Oh a nobody to tell you the truth, Yusuke Urameshi," the demon said.

"How!?" Yusuke said shocked.

"Oh come now detective you cannot be that dense. What demon wouldn't know Koenma's favorite detective crew, but I know much, much more than most demons do. I know all about you detective and I also know that your friend is in grave danger if he doesn't get away from the Bell's sound," the demon said.

Yusuke was about to fire upon the barrier, "Oh now detective you may not want to do that. Not unless you want to kill your friend here. You see I am using his spirit energy to sustain this barrier and every hit it takes will drain him until no more little fire demon. Poof no more, all gone, bye-bye, D-E-A-D. Got it. Good I see I am finally getting through to you."

Yusuke lowered his hand letting the energy disappear, "You low down, dirty, son of a -"

"Now detective, language," the demon said chuckling under his breath.

"What do you want?" Yusuke growled through clenched teeth.

"Oh nothing much. Just domination of the Makai and Ningen-kai is all. And I need your friend the Hanyou Kitsune to do it," the demon said walking away, "Oh by the way your fox friend is stuck in his demon form. Ta, ta for now."

Soon both Hiei and the demon disappeared leaving Yusuke alone in the forest. He was puzzled by what the demon had said. He didn't want Nikki after all, but instead Kurama. But that didn't make sense when he could of just taken him instead of Hiei. Yusuke snapped out of his reverie realizing that Kurama was still in danger from the freaks Bell of Eternal Silence. The spirit detective bolted for the clearing hoping to make it before his kitsune friend was damaged permanently by the noise from the bell. as he came into the clearing he saw Kuwabara's worried face as he ran to his side praying to Kami the fox demon was okay. He saw that Kurama was breathing at least, even if it was shallowly.

Yusuke took out his communicator mirror and Botan's face appeared, "Botan we need a portal to Genkai's now."

"Okay, is everything okay?" Botan asked.

"I'll explain later, just give us a damn portal Ferry Girl," Yusuke pratically screamed at the girl.

Botan was taken aback by his tone of voice and realized something was very wrong. She created a portal and stepped through to escort the detectives back to the Ningen-kai. She saw Yusuke supporting Kuram's limp form with his own body. Kuwabara was pale from what he had witnessed. She led them through the portal and up to Genkai's temple. Yukina was waiting for the group to arrive and ran inside to get Genkai. Genkai saw the kitsune being supported by Yusuke and led them into Nikki's room, which kind of doubled as an infirmary. Yusuke laid his friend down on the futon leaving to find the ferry girl.

"Botan, take me to Koenma," Yusuke demanded.

Botan was slightly afraid of what Yusuke would do, "Alright, hop on."

She sat down on her oar, Yusuke did the same. Soon she took off for Koenma's office arriving minutes later. She led the angered spirit detective into the young Prince's office. She stood away from the two males in case Yusuke decided to blow something up.

"Toddler I want an answer now. Who the hell is this demon," Yusuke said.

"I-I don't know. No one has ever seen him so I cannot check our data base," Koenma said.

"I can tell you what he looks like," Yusuke said.

"You can?!" Koenma said shocked, "Then you killed him?"

"No I didn't. he has some thing called the Bell of Eternal Silence that dropped Kurama to his knees. Right now he is being healed by Genkai and Yukina. He is stuck though in his Youkai form," Yusuke began and then gave the young prince the description.

"What about Hiei? He is half fire demon, half Koorime," Botan asked suddenly.

"This demon has him. Apparently Hiei is hurt bad enough that he has retreated into his mind to escape it. The demon used Hiei's spirit energy to create a barrier that if I attacked it, it would kill Hiei," Yusuke stated, "Before he disappeared he said that he will have 'my kitsune friend.' I thought it meant Kurama not Nikki, but I don't know."

"Interesting. It will help me find out who exactly she is," Koenma said, "Well at least I have a name, but much of his background is a mystery."

"Well…" Yusuke said impatiently.

"He is an S-class demon who possesses the Diamond of Immortality and the Bell of Eternal Silence," Koenma began, "Kanjou Mirako."

"Well at least I now have a name to the face I will beat into a bloody pulp," Yusuke said, "Thanks Toddler, I now have an arrogant bastard to kill and a fire demon to rescue."

Yusuke walked out of the office followed by Botan. She summoned her oar and the two flew back to Genkai's temple.

* Dream Sequence *

"I am sorry Reya, but I cannot stay. Not if I want to protect you and our daughter," a white haired man said.

"No, Daashu please. You cannot leave us. What will we do? I cannot live without you. Think about our precious daughter. What will happen when she starts to show abilities like yours. I will not be able to teach her," Reya said tears in her eyes.

"I-I cannot stay. I do not belong here, you know that. I am a pure blooded kitsune, you are a Ningen, and now we have a beautiful hanyou daughter," Daashu started, "I want her to grow up experiencing the wonders of the Ningen life not the pain of the Makai. Please do not weep for me, Reya. Just tell her I died, but do not tell her the truth. That she does not need to know. Teach her to conceal her energy, make sure she doesn't ever reveal it."

"I will my sweet kitsune, I will," Reya said weeping into her husbands embrace.

"I will always watch over you," he said letting go of his wife.

He turned into his Kitsune form revealing a fanged smile, long black hair, silver eyes, and many black fox tail. He jumped out the window leaving Reya alone with their sleeping child.

The scene flew to a park. A young girl of about ten was walking. She was pushed down by bullies and they tried to take her money. A black fox ran at them scratching two of the boys. They ran away afraid to get injured further by the crazy fox. The third boy pulled out a switchblade and when the fox attacked he sliced him in the side. The animal fell to the ground panting and bleeding. The silver haired girl screamed and caused the boy to scream in pain before running away clutching his head. She picked up the fox and clutching it ran home.

"Nikita, what happened to … oh my. Get that fox out of the house," Reya said.

"Mother, he saved me from bullies, but was hurt in the process," Nikita said.

"Okay let me see what I can do," Reya said going into her home vet office.

Nikita waited for hours until her mother came out smiling, "Nikita he wasn't hurt very bad, but I think you're stuck with him. He refuses to leave. You will be responsible for his actions, feeding, cleaning."

"Thank you mother, thank you. Can I see him?" Nikita asked.

"Yes, yes. Go on," Reya said smiling.

Nikita ran into the recovery room seeing the black fox lying on some blankets. He perked his head up and brightened up when he saw the young girl. Nikki sat down next to him.

"Mom said you can stay, now a name…Hmm- how about Tai," Nikki said.

The fox cuddled into the girls warm embrace.

* End Dream Sequence *

Nikki rolled over on the bed unsure of where she was at. She tried to sit up, but was stopped by a sharp pain coursing through her body. The silver haired teen laid back down panting, waiting for the pain to subside.

'I had better take it slow,' Nikki thought to herself.

She slowly sat up and gazed around the room. Her eyes fell upon the still form of a youkai on the futon next to hers. She stared at the beautiful fox demon realizing he looked just like Suiichi Minamino. She went to the side of the futon slowly to get a better look. She saw that it was Suiichi not just a 'looks like', but a 'it is'.

'This is getting weirder by the minute. First some ugly guys try to kidnap or kill me and now Suiichi is a kitsune fox,' Nikki thought, 'Did I bump my head a little too hard, am I dreaming?'

A wave of sharp pain went through her, "Nope not a dream. The pain is too real."

She slowly made her way out of the room and into the main temple area. She stumbled a few times before regaining her composure. She saw a living room with a couch, love seat, chairs, and a table. Nikki hoped to find a kitchen because she was starving. She walked into the kitchen and decided to make a big lunch or was it dinner. She sensed other people in the temple so she figured to be nice she'd prepare a large meal. She pulled out meats, rice, noodles, and other assorted items. Soon wonderful aromas began wafting into the temple proper. As she set the table she saw Yusuke Urameshi and Kuwabara come in and sit down.

Soon Botan also came in as well as a short female in a blue Kimono and a short woman with pink hair. As they all sat down the boys dug right in. Nikki sat down serving herself some noodles and chicken. She watched the two females she did not know. She sensed an unusual energy coming from them, the one in the kimono the most. Soon Nikki heard the familiar footfalls of Suiichi all though they were slow and clumsy. She got up and went to his side. The silver haired fox demon tried to shun away from the teen, but she wouldn't have it. She helped him sit down at the table before setting down a plate of food. At that point everyone else helped to clear the table while Nikki sat with Suiichi.

"Suiichi," Nikki began waiting for him to look at her.

"Do not call me by my ningen name. My name is Youko Kurama and you, ningen, are annoying me," Youko Kurama said.

[Don't be so rude to her Youko. She only wants an explanation about why you are there and not me] Kurama said sharply to his Youkai counterpart.

[Kurama she is just a ningen and does not deserve my attention] Youko Kurama said.

[Well just because I cannot use my body at this minute does not mean you will be rude to my friends. No I don't think she is quite ningen anyways. Plus Hiei tolerates her and she hates both Yusuke and Kuwabara just like you] Kurama pleaded with the thief [Now please try to tolerate her.]

[Very well if it will stop your begging] Youko said with a heavy sigh.

"Are you done arguing with yourself?" Nikki asked watching the kitsune thief.

"What are you talking about?" Youko asked nonchalantly.

"Are you and 'Kurama' who I assume is Suiichi done arguing," Nikki said once again, "I am telepathic and could hear everything that you two said. And Kurama is correct in saying that I am not normal. But do not ask me why or in what way I am not normal, for that I cannot answer."

Youko sat in shocked silence before speaking, "Very well ningen. I will explain myself, but not now. Tonight in the forest. Follow me when I go out to hunt and we will talk."

"Very well and the name is Nikki, not Ningen," Nikki said standing up, "Now I have to go and find my own fox, Tai."

She left the table and saw the black kitsune run into the room. He launched himself at the silver kitsune and landed on his head. Nikki just left the room not wanting to bother the black kitsune from his new perch on Youko Kurama's head. The shocked Kitsune tried to remove the black fox from his head, but it just clawed the silver fox demon's hair. He made an annoyed face before stumbling outside to be by himself. As he sat down in a clearing he noticed an uprooted easel and a painting on the ground. He picked up the painting on the ground and saw it of his human form and Hiei. Something in his heart melted and he began thinking that maybe not all Ningens are Baka's.

The black kitsune fox jumped from Youko's head and began to glow. Youko was too preoccupied with the sketch pad that he didn't realize there was another person in the clearing. The person set his hand on his shoulder and Youko jumped. He turned to see a black kitsune a couple inches taller than himself, long black hair, silver eyes, and dressed exactly like Youko except in black.

"Beautiful is it not," the strange Kitsune stated in a soft baritone, "She draws with her heart."

"Who are you? Who draws with her heart?" Youko spat out angry at this new imposter.

'Kurama you need to teach Youko how to control his temper better,' the Kitsune thought to Kurama.

'I try sir, but his head is too thick,' Kurama responded.

"The answer to our first question is, I am Daashu Miaroushi," Daashu said bowing to Youko, "And that painting was done by my daughter Nikita."

"She is your daughter?!" Youko inquired.

"Yes she is. She is a hanyou just like Suiichi is although not reborn. She was born half Kitsune, half ningen," he told the kitsune, "Now I think we should go and explain who I am. And I am sorry about the hair thing."

"You are the black fox," Youko stated the obvious and Kurama just rolled his eyes.

"Yes I am. I told my wife when I left I would watch over Nikita. The best way was my fox form except when attacking in that form is not easy and I normally end up needing healing," Daashu said, "Can you turn back into Kurama?"

"No I cannot. What ever we heard in the Makai forest has locked Kurama in my mind preventing me from changing," Youko explained, "Not that I am arguing though. This freedom is glorious."

[You had best be on your very best behavior.] Kurama said trying to break the barrier.

"Youko I will help you free Kurama later once everyone goes to bed," Daashu said.

"And why would I want that," Youko said growling.

Daashu just shrugged his shoulders, "Because you will die from the spell if Kurama stays behind that barrier."

"How would you know?" Youko fired at him.

"Because I myself know what the Bell of Eternal Silence does for I created it, now will you except my help?" Daashu fired back still calm with the young demon.

"You created that monstrosity," Youko said calmly, "Then I should kill you."

Daashu shook his head, "I, like you my fox friend, once had a terrible past. I created many thing I wish I had not and two of them are now in the possession of a very nasty, very powerful demon. Now I believe we have reached the temple."

Youko led the way up to the temple no longer angry at this new Kitsune knowing that he was much older and wiser than himself. Genkai and Yukina saw the Kitsune pair first startled by the black kitsune. Youko led him into the living room where Koenma, Botan, Yusuke, and Nikki were sitting. Kuwabara came in bumping into the new arrival. Soon all seven pairs of eye were on Youko and Daashu.

"Um - Youko who's your friend?" Koenma asked.

"I will let him explain," Youko said sitting down on the couch next to Nikki.

"Well…"Yusuke said to the new kitsune.

Daashu smiled, "I am Daashu Miaroushi."

"Father?!" Nikki shouted not believing what she saw.

"Yes dear daughter. I would of thought you dreams would of explained it," he said, "I have come to lend my wisdom and experience in retrieving the young Hiei from Kanjou Mirako."

"How do you know Mirako?" Genkai asked knowing the whole story from Yusuke.

"Let's just say that he is an old acquaintance," Daashu said darkness creeping into his eyes.

"So what do we do now?" Yusuke said.

"Well we can't get by his Bell of Eternal Silence without hurting you or Youko," Nikki said, "And I guess me as well considering I am a hanyou."

"Too right. That's why Yusuke must destroy it," Daashu said.

"How? We don't even know where it is," Yusuke continued.

"At this time all we can do is wait until he makes his next move," Daashu said.

"What?!" Kuwabara and Yusuke yelled.

"But what about Hiei? Won't he hurt him or even kill him?" Botan asked.

"No he won't. Right now Hiei is like gold to him," Daashu stated, "First off he's a bargaining chip to get to Nikita. Second Hiei is at the mercy of Kanjou so he won't give up his best weapon, yet."

Nikki stood up suddenly and left the room. She strode out into the training arena hoping to be able to think about Hiei. Did she like him as more that a friend? Nikki sat down in the lotus position and began to meditate. She slowly let her mind clear, briefly dropping her mental barrier.

'Nikki,' a voice that was shrouded in shadows and mist called out to her.

She was startled for a moment and then thought she knew the voice, 'Who are you? Reveal yourself.'

'Nikki…' the voice said weaker than before, 'Do not come for me. Your life is worth more than my own.'

'Hiei!' Nikki shouted into his mind, 'Hiei don't go please.'

'He cannot get you. If he does than the worlds are doomed.' Hiei said his mind link faltering, 'I cannot sustain this link much longer. I am much too weak…the bell…the bell cannot be des-'

'Hiei! No! Where are you? I cannot lose you, not now,' Nikki cried out to the empty void Hiei had just left, 'Hiei…'

Nikki let the tears flow freely as her heart became heavy with dread and despair. She knew that some how, some way she will save him. The silver haired girl heard someone enter the room and saw Youko Kurama walking towards her. She sat silently not really paying attention to the kitsune. He crouched down next to her, waiting. Nikki turned to him fresh tears shining in her amber eyes, her cheeks already stained from previous ones.

"What brings your heart such dismay?" he asked.

"Hiei contacted me. He sounded so weak and his voice was shrouded by darkness that threatened to overtake him," Nikki said solemnly, "I must help him, but he told me my life is worth more than his. Right now my heart is torn between my protecting him or the realms."

Youko Kurama listened closely, "Is your heart torn only by your wanting to protect him because he is a friend or is there something more."

"I-I do not know. There are so many conflicting emotions tearing me apart," Nikki said turning away from the silver kitsune, "I just don't know."

"Soon you will know for your path has been laid before you by Destiny," Youko said, "Now your father has suggested everyone return home until Kanjou has made his move."

"Where will you go? I'm sure Suiichi's mother knows nothing of you, Youko," Nikki said.

"He has invited me to your home, until I can change back once again. It's close enough to Suiichi's mother that she won't worry," Youko said, "Now we must be going."

Nikki stood up wiping the tears from her face before following the legendary thief out into the living room once again. Her father changed into his fox form and waited by the door for the two teens to join him. Youko put on a cloak to hide his ears and tails. Daashu in his fox form jumped onto the fox demon's head, making himself comfortable. Nikki led the way out of the temple heading to her house. She knew her mother was going to be very upset that she hasn't called or been home in at least two days.

When they reached the house she knocked on the door to let her mother know to unlock the door, seeing that she didn't have her keys with her. As soon as it opened Nikki found herself enveloped in her mother's embrace. Reya led the teens into the kitchen were she began some tea for them. Youko had not removed his cloak yet waiting for a signal from Nikki.

"Mother we need to talk," Nikki began, "Is Ryou here?"

"No he returned to his dorm for the next month why?" Reya asked.

"Because I have someone to introduce you to," Nikki said nodding to Youko Kurama.

He pulled off the cloak revealing his ears and tails. The black for sat on the table watching the Ningen woman's reaction. She smiled warmly at the kitsune causing Youko to blink back his slight shock.

"Mother this is Youko Kurama, Suiichi's demon half," Nikki said.

"Pleasure to meet you Youko," Reya said pouring tea for them, "Now where did Tai get off to?"

At that a white haired man walked in quietly. His silver eyes smiling as he looked into his wife's eyes. She nearly fainted from the sight of her, what she thought late husband. He went to her side and helped her sit down in a chair. Daashu then also sat down.

"How can this be? I thought you were dead?" Reya said.

"I escaped to become your black fox Tai so I could watch over and protect my family," Daashu said.

Reya began laughing, "I thought there was something fishy about Tai. The way he looked when caught is the same way you look when caught."

Daashu pouted making him look like a very big four year old. Nikki laughed at how her father looked. Reya ushered the group into the living room so they could talk. Nikki sat down on one of the chairs. Youko taking the other, which left the couch to the adults.

"Now explain why my dead husband is back, my daughter looking like she went twelve rounds with Mike Tyson, and why Suiichi Minamino is a silver kitsune," Reya said.

The three Youkai looked at each other trying to figure out who should begin, "Well I guess to begin with when I left you I managed to escape my hunters and took up the form of a black fox. I had a feeling that Nikita was in danger."

Nikita took up the tale, "Well he was right. It turns out that my spirit energy is the most powerful in all of the realms and some demon called Kanjou Mirako is after me to take over all the realms."

"Okay that explains you and Nikita, but what about Suiichi over there," Reya commented.

Youko just rolled his eyes, "I am Youko Kurama, the Legendary Thief reborn into Suiichi Minamino's body. Occasionally I can come out, but usually we can change back. Now I cannot."

"That is why he is here. I must assist him in releasing his other half from the barrier in his mind," Daashu said, "And now we must go and try to take care of it."

"Take the guest room," Reya said.

Daashu led Youko up the stairs and into the room. Nikki followed only going into her room next to the guest room. She laid down on the bed and tried to contact Hiei again. She met up with the same dark void as before. Nikki got up and pulled on her pajamas and crawled into her hoping to get some sleep.

* Dream Sequence begin *

"What? Where am I?" Nikki asked as she found herself in a dark area surrounded by an eerie mist.

She saw a figure up ahead of her walking away. She began to run after them wanting answers. As she got closer the person stopped. They turned around and Nikki saw Hiei watching her. She was slightly shocked at how he looked. He had unhealed cuts on his face and his eye were distant. His clothing was ripped up looking as if he had been fighting. She went up to him and touched his arm. He smiled sadly before walking slowly away from her.

She followed not wanting to lose him. The mist began to clear away and she found herself in the Makai forest. Hiei continued on through the woods until he stopped in front of a fortress looking building. Nikki looked around observing that security was tight. Hiei walked right through the wall and she followed. He led her down a set of stairs into the dungeon area. He went into one of the cells and Nikki did the same. She saw Hiei in his corporal form watching her. Her gaze then fell onto his physical form and another demon standing over him. She stepped closer to hear what was said.

"Hiei you will help me capture her. No matter how hard you fight you cannot break the spell spun by the bell. Soon your fate will be hers as well," the demon said in a soft, velvety voice, "Now contact her, tell her to come."

Hiei continued to stare blankly at the demon, his defiance set into his face. The demon growled and back handed the fire demon across the face. Hiei's cheek bled freely as another cut appeared there. Nikki put her hand to her mouth as a gasp escaped. She needed to save him, but how? Right now she was dreaming, but knew it was still happening. The demon strode to the door and faced Hiei hate and loathing in the fire demons eyes.

"Hiei in a week you will do what I say without a question. Until then, good-bye," Kanjou said as he walked out.

Nikki walked to the fire demon and set her hand on his cheek sending some of her energy to him not sure if he will feel it. His eyes went wide as his body accepted the warm energy, the aches lessening some what.

'Hiei I will save you even if it takes my life to do it, I promise,' Nikki thought before drifting to a dreamless sleeps.
