Okay, here's the second chapter to Discovery! It's called "Revival and
Interrogation." Once again, I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or any of it's
characters. If the paragraphs get smooshed, sorry I tried ;
Hiei walked up to the girl, and kneeled down beside her.
"I-is she alive.? .Hiei.?" Kuwabara asked nervously.
"I think so." Hiei replied.
Kurama sighed in relief, and then straightened up. "Is she human?"
"Oh please, Kurama! What would a human be doing in the demon world?! Only a total idiot would do that." Hiei added, giving an accusing glance toward Kuwabara.
Kuwabara blinked. "What?"
Sighing, Hiei pointed toward the girl's ears, which were like Kurama's, but more cat like. "She's a neko."
"A neko?" Yuusuke chimed.
"A cat demon, baka."
"I know what a neko is! It's just.."
"Holy crap, she's drop-dead gorgeous!"
"Oh shut up, Kuwabara!" Hiei said, picking the girl up and noticing that she's only wearing a small sheet wrapped around her from her chest to her mid-thighs.
"So. what do you plan on doing with her, Hiei-kun?"
"I don't know, Kurama, but I think she's injured. We should bring her back- "
"Back where?!" Kuwabara yelled. "We have no place to go back to!! We don't even know where we're going!"
Hiei snarled menacingly. "No thanks to you! We'll just have to bring her back to the Spirit World and tell Koenma-sama that we couldn't complete our mission."
"WHAT?!" Kuwabara and Yuusuke said together.
Suddenly, the girl's eyes fluttered open, and she said dreamily. "You. you're looking for the artifact.?"
Hiei froze, and stared into her deep blue eyes, then said slowly, "Yes."
She whimpered slightly, as if hurt by something, then whispered, "You'll never find it. You-" and then her eyes widened, and she fell limp.
Hiei's eyes narrowed and he cursed under his breath. "Let's just go back to Koenma and tell him that-"
~*~
"-YOU COULDN'T FIND THE ARTIFACT?!"
Koenma's screaming could probably be heard all throughout the demon world. Yuusuke cringed, and Botan was running around franticly.
Hiei straightened up. "Look, this girl, whoever she is, knows something about this. artifact. If we can revive her, then she might tell us where it is."
Kurama turned to him, looking slightly confused. "But, Hiei, she said that we'd never find it."
Hiei was just about to speak when Koenma interrupted. "Bring her to Yukina and do whatever it takes to find that artifact!! NOW!"

The next day, At Genkai's temple, Yuusuke yawns and gets out of bed, walking into the living room. Sitting there is Kurama, back in human form, and Hiei sitting on the windowsill. They were talking about something before Yuusuke entered but fell quiet.
Yuusuke looked around. "Well, good morning. where's Kuwabara?"
"He's asleep," Hiei said then muttered something about a lazy ningen.
"Hm. that's funny. I thought for sure he'd be with Yukina," Yuusuke said.
"He'd better not be!" Hiei screeched and stood up.
Kurama snickered. "He's asleep in his room, Hiei. no need to jump to conclusions."
Hiei went to go sit down, then stared at the room where the girl they had found had rested. "I'm gonna go check on her, okay?"
Kurama's eyes widened. "Are you sure.?"
"Positive."
Yuusuke muttered, "Only losers are positive."
Hiei scoffed. "Are you sure?"
"Posit-oh shut up, Hiei!"
Hiei turned the knob to the door and walked in, while Kurama and Yuusuke exchanged worried glances.
Inside the room sat the girl on a mattress on the floor, sheets wrapped around her. Her sparkling blue eyes stared out the window, looking deeply saddened. Hiei hesitated, then walked up to her, took off his cloak and sat down next to her.
"Who are you.?"
She said nothing, only stared out the window and tightened her grip on the sheets around her. Hiei sighed in annoyance, then, seeing those huge sad eyes, he tilted his head at her.
"I won't force you to tell me anything. But when you're ready to talk, I'm always available."
He got up, leaving his cloak on the floor, and headed for the door, when he heard a small whisper.
"A-Atari."
He turned slowly, looking at the girl.
"Hm.?"
"M.My name's Atari."
Blinking, Hiei stared at her, took his hand off the doorknob, and plopped down next to her again.
"Where are you from.?"
Atari thought for a second then looked at him with those eyes again.
"I.I don't know."
Hiei frowned. "I see. Anything else you can tell me about yourself?"
Suddenly, her eyes filled with tears. She lunged at him, and threw her arms around him. Hiei's eyes widened and he fell backwards a bit, stunned.
"Help me." she whispered.
"I.what do you need hel-"
"Please!" She stuffed her face into his shirt and cried. "They're haunting me. please help me."
"Who.? Who's haunting you?"
She thought for a second, then backed away and wiped the tears from her eyes. "I am a fire neko from the Makai, the demon world."
"A.fire neko? How so?"
"I am part blue fire demon, part cat demon."
"Oh. well." Hiei didn't know what to say, or even what to think about this situation. Atari was obviously very confused or very stupid. Or even very dangerous. But, for some odd reason, Hiei could not pull his eyes away from hers. It's just something about those deep sad eyes that make him want to sit there forever.
"Who are you?" Atari asked softly.
"My name's Hiei. I'm part fire demon part ice demon."
Atari giggled and smiled at him, and Hiei felt his breath get caught in his throat.
Atari got close and stared into his eyes dreamily. "I think I like you."
Hiei walked up to the girl, and kneeled down beside her.
"I-is she alive.? .Hiei.?" Kuwabara asked nervously.
"I think so." Hiei replied.
