Authors Note: Hey people! Look I know my chapters are short but hey I'm only human . . . oh wait no I'm not! Okay anyway this chapter is going to be kind of long since I tried to describe the battle as much as I could. So, now that I have written what I thought you should know . . .I will be leaving. I hope you all are enjoying the story even though the chapters are short . . .but don't blame me for the short chapters! Blame school and parents who are always in the way! Anyway, enjoy.

Chapter Two:

All the demons were just about ready to rip each other's heads off. Each drew their own weapon of choice and glared at their opponent. Just as the first drop of the upcoming rain hit the ground, they each dashed towards each other. Hiei with Katana in hand went straight for the demon that also had a Katana of her own. Kurama on the other hand drew his red rose and used his spirit energy to produce his renowned rose whip.

(Kurama) We don't have to fight! We can always come to an agreement.

(Demon2) Yeah we could . . . but I don't think I would like that!! *Unsheathes two swords* Now let the game begin!! *Goes straight towards Kurama*

(Hiei) Kurama! We're not here to show mercy but to kill them!

(Kurama) Hiei watch out! *Just as the demon was about to attack Hiei with her sword, he dodged and appeared behind her*

(Hiei) At least you could try to hit me. You're no challenge at all!

~MEANWHILE THE BATTLE BETWEEN KURAMA AND DEMON2~

Kurama was dodging every single time the demon was trying to wound him with her swords. Until Kurama miscalculated her next move and fell to the ground from the attack she had performed.

(Demon) I think you misjudged me foxy. I think you should concentrate a bit more . . . then again it's not like I'll let you get away alive now that you've gotten yourself into this mess.

She kicked him in the same area he had a gash in. His yells of pain could be heard from miles away. But she covered his mouth by placing a cloth on it and wrapping the rose whip over it. Muffled noises could be heard and she couldn't help but laugh.

(Demon) You know you sound hilarious! I should do this to victims more often! Torture them then kill them! I guess you proved yourself to be useful after all! *Giggles* But I guess I you could be useful in other ways as well . . .

She started to remove the cloth and the rose whip from his mouth and handed him the whip. She then went to attacking him again. All Kurama could do was hope for the best and to make sure he could survive.

(Kurama Thinking) She's not a strong opponent at first, but I believe the pleasure of seeing someone helpless is what makes her want to kill her victim more. In any case I have to make sure I get out of this forest alive and warn Yusuke. If they're this strong, imagine their other allies . . .

(Demon Thinking) He's too deep in thought! This is my chance to deliver the final blow!

Just as the demon went to deliver her so called "Final Blow", Kurama snapped back to reality and blocked the attack. Afterward he used his Rose Whip Lash technique. The demon was severely wounded.

(Demon) You bastard! How . . . could you . . . have so much . . . energy?

Just as the demon finished what she had said she fell to the ground unconscious. Kurama walked over and picked her up bridal style. He looked down at her feeling sympathy towards her. After all, she was hired to kill others who were innocent or at least he thought was innocent. He started towards a tree stump and placed her there. He carefully started to heal her wounds. She had deep gashes on her stomach but nothing that he couldn't heal. He was only glad that he hadn't killed the demon that was before him.

(Kurama) She looks so beautiful . . . I can't believe that I hadn't realized that until now. She's our opponent. I can't fall for her. I can not let the others fail to close this case because of my hearts' desires.

As soon as Kurama finished healing the wounds he left the demon on the stump with parts of his clothing to protect her wounds from becoming infected. As he went to leave the demon slowly awoke and realized what he had done for her.

(Demon) Why did you heal me?

(Kurama) I don't know. I guess I couldn't leave knowing that I had left you wounded. Please don't be foolish and fight any time soon. Your wounds need to heal a bit more so that you could have made a complete recovery.

(Demon) I know I might sound dumb saying this . . .but thank you for your help.

(Kurama) *laughs* Here I was thinking you all were ruthless demons who killed others for fun. Who would have imagined that I would hear you actually thanking me? (Demon) Don't get me wrong! We kill because . . .

(Kurama) Because? Why do you kill?

(Demon) I have spoken too much . . . I must go . . . but thanks again foxy for the healing. Bye!

(Kurama) Wait!

The demon left Kurama standing in the clearing of the forest dumbfounded by the conversation they recently had. Little did he know that she had once again concealed her energy and was spying him from atop of a tree. She had remembered Hiei calling him Kurama.

(Demon) Kurama . . . you may have human qualities. But you still put up a great fight. As much as I hate to admit this . . . I think I have fallen for you just as you have fallen for me. But our lives are lead differently and we will never have the chance to tell each other how we feel . . . I guess we just weren't destined to be together. But mark my words we will meet again!

(Author: and with that I can finally say that part is over. Now for Hiei and the other demon . . . but you will want to read! You wanna know what happens to Hiei right? Well then stop reading this and read the story!)

~Hiei vs. Demon~

Hiei and the other demon had disappeared to another part of the forest and began a fight of their own. He was furious.

(Hiei Thinking) This girl is trying my patience! I've had enough!

(Demon) Come on! At least attack! If you say I'm no challenge than you should try to kill me so that you could go find yourself a "challenge"!

(Hiei) You're right. I should kill you!

(Demon) AH! I mean you wouldn't want to kill me! I swear I haven't killed anyone I promise!

(Hiei) Whether or not you've killed someone or not I really don't want to know nor do I care.

(Demon) Well if it isn't an arrogant little guy! Fine get ready! *She dashed towards him to attack but he was too quick and easily dodged every attempt she made to wound him*

(Demon Thinking) Damn! He's too fast! I'll never win this way! (Hiei Thinking) Hn . . . she's no challenge at all. I don't have to put up with this.

Hiei stopped fighting and went to leave. But the dumbfounded demon quickly regained her composure.

(Demon) Hey! Where do you think you're going!?

(Hiei) You're not even amusing me. I suggest you leave you weak fool.

(Demon Thinking) Weak? Fool? That's it! I've had it with his arrogance!

She quickly gathered her spirit energy and appeared before Hiei and punched him right in the face. He was taken aback by her sudden rise of spirit energy. He quickly changed his mind about her being weak.

(Hiei) I'll admit you surprised me. But now that I know you're true potential, I won't be letting my guard down!

Hiei quickly unsheathe his sword once more and attacked the demon girl who tried to interpose in HIS attempt to leave and spare her. Now he was certain of killing the demon before him.

(Hiei) Now you die! *Hiei tightened the grip on his Katana and slashed the demon causing a big gash on her side* Hn. Let's see you fight now!

(Demon Thinking) Damn him! He's still faster than I am even with all the energy I have left to use. I can't give up though. I've come too far! I can't let my friends down!

The demon slowly stood up but collapsed and she grabbed her side. She knew the wound was pretty deep. But she used a lot of her energy and attacked Hiei. She didn't plan on giving up so she gave it her all. And luckily she managed to hit Hiei. He fell to the ground. He was holding his left arm.

(Demon) Who were you calling a weak fool again?

(Hiei) Hn. I was calling you a weak fool. You got one wound on your side and you use all your spirit energy just to attack me.

(Demon Thinking) He's right I did use a lot of spirit energy but not all of it. I still have some left to get me around.

(Demon) Well then we're both injured and unarmed . . . huh?

(Hiei) You were saying?

Hiei had the tip of his weapon pointing at the girls' throat. He was about to plunge forward and kill her. But something told him not to. That she would be needed alive. Also he knew he wasn't told to kill her. He tried to prevent himself from killing her. He went to step forward but tripped on a rock. He landed on top of the girl. Both demons were blushing furiously. Until the girl realized where his hand had landed.

(Demon) You hentai! Get away from me! *She threw a rock at him causing him to back away*

(Hiei) You little wench! I tripped its not like I put my hand there!

(Demon) Yeah right! Like I should believe you?!

(Hiei Thinking) I have never been this humiliated in my life! I can't stay here. Stupid girl. She had to be there when I tripped!

Just as the demon was going to insult Hiei she saw that he had left. She was furious but at the same time confused. She had never been in a situation as the one she was in moments ago. She stood up and departed to where her friends where awaiting her arrival. But as she and Hiei had left both had one thing on their mind and that was each other.

WOW I wrote a lot for chapter two. At least to me I did. I hope I was descriptive enough. Well anyway I think its pretty good. Oh yeah and I HAD to make Hiei fall and land on her! I just kept playing it over and over in my head! Just try imagining his face! Well anyway chapter three will be posted tomorrow. I hope you all are enjoying the story. Well I'm out.
