Hello! Thanks for the idea, it helped alot with writing this chapter. Sorry bout not writing for awhile, I had to help clean the house. Anyway, here's the chapter!

***Keiko's Protection***

Hiei followed the human girl named Keiko, scowling slightly. It had been a week since she had seen him save her, and there had been four attacks already. Not counting the first. The last demon was stronger than the others but not by much. Keiko had seen him kill the demons, and always seemed concerned for him after each fight. He would reply with his favorite word, then leap into a nearby tree. He could tell that Keiko was very curious about him, but of course he would never socialize with her. Right? Well, lately he'd begun to feel some things towards the girl, to his disgust. He swore to never talk to her, except for the two lettered word he normally said to everyone.

That didn't mean that he didn't allow himself a few pleasures though. He had to watch her, so if he stared at her it would be considered alright, since he technically had to watch her. He wasn't a perv though, when she was changing at night or in the morning he always turned away. He watched her every other moment though. Slowly, he memorised her schedule: wake up and take a shower, change into her school uniform, eat some breakfast, brush her hair and teeth, slip her shoes on, grab her bookbag and leave for school. Then she went to her classes, she stayed after school for some reason and then go home after an hour or so. Walk home, greet her parents, eat dinner, do her homework, and get ready for bed.

He could tell that she had a unique spirit, and was pretty in the human sense. He knew that she was attractive, but what drew him was her loyalty. She never lied to her parents, friends, or teachers. She stuck by her friends, like when one of them was being bullied. She was quite loyal, more so than a normal human or a demon. He also noticed that she didn't really look at the other boys when they flirted with her. When one did, she would look out the window and gaze longingly out it. Sometimes she stared at him but didn't know it. He felt extremely creeped out by that, and sometimes had to hold himself from leaping through the window and slicing the human male into ribbons. He always thought that she was thinking about Yusuke, but the truth was, she always thought about him.

Keiko sighed as she walked down the sidewalk back home. She was feeling kind of hungry and decided to get an ice cream cone. Then she remembered that Hiei was following and thought it rude to eat infront of him. She sat down on a bench under a tree and knew when Hiei was sitting in it. She glanced up at him, seeing his crimson eyes looking down at her. She smiled slightly and patted the seat beside her. She saw him scowl but he leaped down and sat down.

"Are you hungry?" she asked. He stared at her for a moment. "I was planning on buying an ice cream cone, do you want one?" Hiei frowned, trying to think of what ice cream was.

"Is it sweet snow?" he asked hesitantly. Keiko blinked at him before laughing.

"Yeah, but we call it ice cream." she rose and beckoned him to follow her. She led him to an ice cream vendor and bought two chocolate cones. She handed him one and they started walking down the sidewalk. They ate their ice cream contentedly, in relaxed silence. Keiko giggled when she finished her ice cream, handing him a napkin. He had chocolate on his nose. He wiped it off, throwing the napkin in a trashcan. He stopped however and frowned, listening to the sounds around them. Keiko obediantly kept her mouth shut, knowing that he was looking around for any danger.

He grabbed her hand suddenly and shot off, dragging her behind him. Then she heard it, a buzzing sound of wings. Small demons, only about a foot tall, swarmed towards them. They chattered in a high pitched voice, flying faster to the two. Hiei stopped pulling her, stopping as he saw another swarm infront of them. They were completely surrounded by them. They launched their attack, Hiei defended her as best he could, using his Jagan Eye but it made no difference. Keiko was picked up by twenty of the small demons, Hiei himself being captured by the little buggers. They fought off as well as they could but the demons carried the two through a portal into the Makai.

"Someone help!" Keiko cried out. She screamed as she was thrown into the portal, falling unconcious as she was transported. Hiei felt his vision go black as he found unconciousness as well. His last thought was: that Yusuke had better damn find them or he'll kill him himself.

Hi! There's your chapter and thanks again for the idea. I still need ideas though, so feel free to write them in your reviews. I don't care if they're bad. I'm not sure if I will make this a Hiei/Keiko fic. I'll need some more reviews. Thanks again.
