First I would like to thank Asteria for reviewing my story. Thank you! Now on with the second chapter: The past revealed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone had gone to bed with the exceptions of Aiko and Hiei. They were in Hiei's room talking about everything.
"So, ugly and Urameshi are humans? Easy to believe, cause they seem weaker than us. Ugly sure seems to hate you." Aiko mused.
"The fool is a disgrace to all ningens and demons alike." Hiei coldly replied.
Hiei had always hated Kuwabara, mainly because he was stupid and ugly. But now Kuwabara was in love with Yukina! Hiei was forced to team up with him and Urameshi. Hiei didn't mind Kurama, though.
"5 long years, Hiei. What happened?" Aiko asked.
"I had planned to take over the world with Kurama and Gouki. You remember Gouki, right? Urameshi showed up and Kurama withdrew from the group, taking the mirror of utter dark with him. Gouki was killed by Urameshi and Kurama gave up the mirror after he saved his ningen mother. Well, I underestimated Urameshi and he beat me. As punishment, I had to become a Reikai Tantei and was not able to contact you. I never forgot you, though." Hiei explained.
"I wasn't here to find my mother, truthfully. I had heard about you fighting and tracked you down." Aiko said.
They were sitting on Hiei's bed with the lights as dim as they could go.
"Hiei, you remember when we were running through the meadow trying to get away from that farmer when we had stolen his wife's necklace?" Aiko asked.
Hiei chuckled. "Who could forget? What a day that was?"
Knock.... knock.
"Who is it?" Aiko asked.
"The human, the ugly fool, and the fox." Yusuke said.
"What the hell do you want?" Hiei demanded.
"I believe you said that you would tell us how you two know each other." Kurama yelled through the door.
"Fine come in, if you dare." Aiko challenged.
They opened the door only to be pelted with water balloons. Yusuke gave her a death glare.
"What, did you think I was kidding?" Aiko asked, smirking.
"Just tell us the story." Yusuke growled.
"Fine. Have a seat." Aiko said, still smirking. "Hiei, would you like to start or should I?" She asked.
"You." Hiei whispered, staring intently out the window.
" All right, Hiei was searching for someone," Aiko said, putting a lot of emphasis on someone, "and I was headed in the same direction he was. We were ambushed by demons several weeks later after becoming great friends. Next thing we knew we were fighting with all of our strength. A demon was about to kill Hiei. I went in front of Hiei and got hit in the heart. I was only 12 years old then........." Aiko said, remembering that day. Hiei had slashed through the rest of the demons before approaching Aiko. 'Please, Aiko, don't die. Your only 12. Damn it, why did you get in the way.' Hiei yelled at his dying friend.
'Because, you have a reason to live, Hiei. I have no reason or want to live, except you might be reason. Goodbye, Hiei Jaganshi.'
'Don't say goodbye just yet, Aiko.' Hiei said. Hiei concentrated some of his energy and gave it to Aiko.
'This should be enough to heal your wound and keep you alive.' Hiei whispered.

End of flashback

"Aiko, are you all right?" Kurama asked.
"Yep, well anyways, I lived, with the help of Hiei." Aiko said, winking at Hiei.
"Well is that all?" Kuwabara asked.
"What did you expect something dramatic?" Hiei asked, smirking.
"Not from you!" Kuwabara growled.
"Yusuke and ugly pig leave, I'd like to talk to Hiei and Kurama now!" Aiko said.
Aiko slammed the door after Yusuke and Kuwabara left.
"Well on to talking." Aiko said.
