Just A Shadow

"It's okay, Kurama-sama, he'll turn up..." Yukina said, patting Kurama on the back gently. Kurama sat on the couch, his face buried in his hands, his auburn hair falling limply around his face and covering it.

"It's all my fault..if..anything happens to him..." Kurama muttered, shaking his head and slouching forward farther. "This is terrible...Hiei..." Kurama gripped his hair tightly shaking his head and cursing at himself out loud.

Yuusuke let out a sigh and leaned harder agaisnt the wall, arm's crossed. He glared at the ground then slowly rose his eye's to the kitsune who was at the brink of tears.

"Kurama...listen-" he began, but just then the door opened... revealing.....Shori. She smiled happily.

"Oh, hello. Shucci didn't tell me he was going to have friends over..." she blinked, but kept smiling, then looked at her son. "Shucci, sweetheart what's the matter?" she asked, concern filling her voice.

Kurama sat up suddenly, forcing a smile. "Nothing mother." he said quickly. He looked around. "We were just about to leave.." he jumped to his feet, still keeping his fake smile plastered on his face. The other's, catching the cue, stood up or began to walk over to the door.

"Oh..are you sure?" Shori asked, eyeing them suspicously.

"Yes, mother." Kurama said, hugging her then kissing her on the cheek. "I might be home late..so don't worry about me..." the kitsune said ushering everyone out of the door. Kurama walked out, peeking his head in at his dumfounded mother. "Bye mother, I love you."

"I love you to, Shucci.." Shori answered blankly, blinking. Kurama shut the door and ran after the others. Shori shook her head. "That was..strange...Oh well, boy's will be boy's.." she turned and looked at the slight mess of her living room. "I wonder what they were doing in here..."

Hiei walked threw the darkening forest, his face blank and pale, his cloak trailing behind his almost frail looking body. Hiei turned his crimson eye's towards the sky and let out a sigh. (Didn't mean to make that rhyme...) he looked ahead again, welcoming the darkness that began to wrap it's arm's around him and quietly he whispered,

"Beyond the glimmering dusk In the cruel whispering shadows of beech and bough... Alone, I wander, with only the shimmer of starlight to light my way; The wind sighs of vague griefs old and forgotten, And Darkness, my liege and my comfort, descends like a veil. In this silence of the world in depths of slumber, My feet know no weariness, my heart no sorrow. For I am to Night as her child, a creature of shadow and fire, Her demon and lover, passion and evil entwined."

The fire demon sighed again, shoving his hands into his pocket's and lowering his head. "Do they really hate me?" he asked out loud. He waited, as if he expected a answer. A course none came and he let out, yet again, another sigh, hanging his head and kicking a rock.

"Do they hate you?" came a sweet feminen voice. Hiei's head snapped up, crimson eye's wide.

A girl was hanging upside down, her short chestnut brown hair brushing agaisnt Hiei's face, making him step back and stare blankly at the girl. She had bright purple eye's and long slender pointed ears that dangled with many diffrent earrings, moons, stars, suns and even planets. She wore a brown tunic like shirt and long baggy brown pant's, fit with brown hiking boots.

She crossed her arms, still hanging upside down and began to look Hiei over, a huge grin on her face.

"Your a little bit young to be wander alone, don'tcha think?" she asked. Hiei flushed and glared at her.

"I'm older then you, baka." he hissed, crimson eye's narrowing, and glowing in the darkening forest.

"ne, really?" she asked. The girl did a weird flip like motion and landed on her feet, arms still crossed. She wasn't much taller then Hiei, and her build was very much like his. "Are you over five hundred and sixty three?" she asked casually.

"Hn."

"Take that as a no.." she leaned back agasint the tree and looked Hiei over again. "Demon?"

"Hn."

"Che, that your only answer?" she asked, her voice slightly annoyed.

"Who are you?" Hiei asked quietly, studying her. His eye's fell upon a silver necklace around her neck, it was a small circle with a black serphant with flaming red eye's, it's mouth a-gape and white fang's showing.

"..now who are you?" she asked.

"Nani?" he asked looking at her and blinking stupidly. She laughed, a cute, sweet almost innocent laugh.

"Don't tell me you don't know yer own name!" she asked, giggling.

"Iie, I didn't hear your name."

"Sisco."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kurama paced back and forth in Yuusuke house, practically tearing holes in the floor and making everyone else watching him VERY dizzy.

"Stop pacing, Kurama. He'll show up." Yuusuke said, with a yawn leaning farther into his couch. But indeed he too was worried about the little Fire Demon.

"I can still sence the shrimp's ki.." Kuwabara said scratching his chin and looking at Yukina. She looked deathly white and no longer very cheeful. "So it's not like he's dead or something..." he smiled at Yukina.

The Ice Maidan forced a smile and nodded.

Boton tapped her index finger's togeather, looking at the group desprately. "Oh come on guy's..Hiei wouldn't go and....." she trailed off. The ferry girl sighed and sat down, her bubbly self long gone. She put a resurring hand on Yukina's arm. "Don't worry Yukina. Since Hiei's your bro--" she stopped, as Yukina's eye's shot up to stare at her. "--er--uh..like your brother he won't...hurt himself..." Yukina continued to stare. Boton laughed nervessly and looked away.

"Moron." Yuusuke whispered to Boton, shaking his head.

"Shut up, Yuusuke.." she whispered back.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Sisco...?" Hiei repeated, staring at her. "My name is Hiei..."

"Demon?" she asked.

"Che, what makes you think that?"

"I'm a Demon Hunter." she said grinning. Hiei felt his heart freeze and his muscle go limp. She laughed suddenly. "Gotcha! But you are a demon."

"HN!" Hiei turned to leave, only to find the girl standing infront of him, head titled, examing him.

"You said something about people hating you. Who are these people?"

"Go away, baka."

"Oh, firey." she winked. "I like that." her hand rested on the hilt of her dagger that was on her waist and she was leaning agasint a tree. "Now, who are these people?"

Her stance didn't threaten Hiei..it was..almost attractive. Hiei slapped himself mentally. No ningen emotions...but..isn't the feeling of hate a ningen emotion?

"They are my friends.."

"Friends?" she echoed.

"NO! Allies!" Hiei cried suddenly, blinking rapidly. Sisco raised an eyebrow.

"Ne, you said friends.."

"Allies.." Hiei hissed. Sisco removed her hands from the daggers and crossed her arms across her breasts eyeing Hiei.

"It's alright for a demon to have demon friends." she frowned slightly. "I wish I had friends.."

"Not all of them are demons..." Hiei said quietly, almost a whisper. Sisco blinked, tilting her head farther.

"Not demons?" she asked. "Then what?"

"Humans..."

Sisco suddenly burst out into laughter, clutching her stomach and falling to her knee's, howling with insane laughter that made the Fire Demon stare blankly at her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"What did you mean by that?" Yukina said softly, still staring at Boton. Boton looked at her smiling widly (a.k.a : ^_______^;;) The blue haired ferry girl let out a sudden laugh.

"Hiei is like your brother and all isn't he?" Boton asked quickly. The Ice Maidan nodded. "Well so I said he's like your brother..." Boton opened her eye's but still smiling. Yukina continued to stare. Boton lunged forward towards Yukina suddenly, grasping the young maidan's shoulder's and shaking her. "COME ON YUKINA CAN'T YOU TELL! YOU BOTH HAVE CRIMSON EYE'S, SHORT, STRANGE HISTROY AND HE LOVES YOU AND PROTECTS YOU!"

Everyone stared at Boton. Boton laughed nervessly, sitting back on the couch and letting out a nerves giggle, she sighed and rested her head in her hands. "Hiei's going to kill me..."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"What's so funny.." Hiei hissed threw this teeth, glaring at her. He would of had his katana in hand, if Kurama hadn't made him leave it behind. Sisco looked up, tear's filling her eye's, she laughed and whiped them away, standing.

"Befriending humans? What are you, nuts?!" she was hit by another wave of laughter and she toppeld over, clutching her sides laughing insanely.

"It's not like I had a choice.." Hiei said threw clenched teeth, hand's clenched at his side, eye brow twitching.

"Not a choice?" Sisco sat up. "Everyone has a choice on who they befriend....and when you do..you'll always love them...their always there to take you in..loving you..encourging you, wanting you there...their like your home..without out them..your home would be empty." She blinked. Hiei stared at her with a look of bewilderment and awe combined. Sisco crossed her legs and shrugged. "But, hey, what do I know? I never really had any friends..."

Hiei shoved his hands in his pocket's, lowering his head and turned, walking away.

"Hey, where you going?" Sisco asked.

"Home." he whispred back, smiling softly.
