Disclamier: I dont own Yu Yu Hakusho..I only own Sisco...

Just A Shadow

Sisco shrieked in terror dodging Hiei's newly found katana. Hiei swung towards her legs, but Sisco dodged it, but jumping to the side and landing on her hip. She quickly scrambled to her feet and sped off towards Genkai's temple.

"HOW COULD YOU!?" Hiei screamed, slicing towards her back. She sped up just in time to miss his sharp katana.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!?" She screamed back. She spotted Kurama standing at the top of the stairs staring blankly down at them. She dashed up the stairs screaming something that sounded oddly like 'INSANE PISSED OFF PSYCHO ON THE LOOSE! WITH REALLY SHARP KATANA, RUN!!' she threw herself onto Kurama, clinging to him.

Kurama sweatdropped and looked at her, "Sisco-chan, whats the-" he looked back towards the stairs noticing Hiei who had his katana pointed at Sisco who had her legs wrapped around Kurama's waist and her arms locked around the kitsunes neck. "Oh, hello Hiei." Kurama greeted happily.

"Hn.." Hiei grunted, glaring at Sisco. Kurama cleared his throat then very gently pryed Sisco off himself and nudged her behind him.

"Hiei-san, I can understand that your angry. But please, give her a chance.."

"HN." Hiei glared at Kurama. The kitsune reached over and pushed the blade towards the ground so it was no longer pointing at the girl.

"Hiei, you know what will happen if you kill her." he smiled widely, "Now, maybe you two can become..friends?" Kurama chuckled when he resived Hiei's famous death glare. "Well you two play nicely, I have to go home." He bowed slightly to them and started down the stairs, hands in pockets.

Hiei growled and sheathed his sword. Then turned back to Sisco glaring, "Why'd you do it?" he hissed at her. Sisco straighted, looking confident.

"I was hoping I could learn more about you..like your past."

"Hn," Hiei grunted, turning around and crossing his arms. "I only tell my past to people I trust." Then his image blurred and he was dashing down the stairs and disappering into to tree's. Sisco sighed loudly and put her hands in her pockets, head bowed.

"K'so, he dosn't trust me.." she said outloud, sighing again.

"Give him time.." came a soft voice. Sisco jumped and turned around quickly, onto to see Yukina. The half Elf relaxed at seeing the aqua haired Ice Madain and nodded to her. Yukina nodded back, hands gently clasped infront of her and stood next to Sisco, looking out into the sunset. "He likes you, Sisco." Yukina said softly.

"Yeah?" Sisco asked then sarcasticly added, "Thats why he wants my head on a platter?" Yukina laughed lightly at that then glanced up at Sisco, smiling.

"He's just confused right now." she looked back at the sunset. "Sisco...what do you know about Hiei's past?" she asked quietly. Sisco shifted from one foot to the other uncomftorbly.

"All I know is that he was born to a race that only gave birth to females..and they got rid of him." she shrugged, "Thats it."

"If you would like...I can tell you about Hiei's past...or at least of what I know.." The Ice Madian sighed sadly, "He hasn't even told me of his childhood. I to, know very little of my brothers past. I fear he dosn't tell me only because he believes I would blame myself for the pain hes gone threw.." she looked at Sisco, "Well, anyway, would you like to hear what I know?"

"Hai..onegai.." Sisco said nodding. Yukina sighed softly and closed her eyes, facing the sunset.

"My brother was born to the race of Ice Madians...A race that only gives birth to females. We, the Ice Demon's, can be pregnant without the help of a male mate...Infact..it is forbidden to mate with a male. When a Ice Madian gives birth to a child, it is a female, and a exact copy of theirself." Yukina smiled sadly and opened her eyes, her crimson orbs blank of all expressions.

"My mother," she contiuned, "she fell in love with a male Fire Demon...and they made love to each other, making Hiei, who was born of the opposite element...and myself, the copy of my mother...When Hiei was born, there had been a legend of a male born among the Ice Madians, who when older would kill the race out of greed." she sighed, "They believed Hiei as that child. Assuming him as the Forbidden Child in the tales they made Ruri drop my brother from the floating island of Koorime...where he would surely die in Makai." Yukina shook her head.

"How in the world did you two possibly find each other again?" Sisco asked quietly.

"After my mother died.." Yukina said sighed softly, "I wen't in seach of my brother. The others of my race told me he was dead..but I knew he was alive...I roamed Makai for a while..until this human.." her face hardend and her eye's were distant, "he captured me, knowing of my race..knowing we could create priceless jewels..called tear gems." she looked down at the stairs, tears welling in her crimson eyes.

"Kuwabara and Yuusuke came to save me." she said quietly, "and Hiei..." she sniffed and ignored the tear gem that fell from her cheek and hit the clattered to the ground, rolling away. "They saved me...but I told them I had to leave to find my brother.." she turned and stared sadly at Sisco, "But it turned out my brother was right there in front of me the whole time."

Sisco blinked and looked at the purplish red sky, "I never knew.." Sisco said.

"Not many do.." Yukina said then her face brightend, "Come Sisco, you must be tired, let us go inside." She turned and started into the temple.

"Yukina?" Sisco said, quietly. The Ice Madian turned and looked at the half Elf. "Thanks for telling me that." Yukina nodded and together the two made their way inside...

A shadow detached itself from a tree nearby, fluttering onto the steps, staring blankly at the darkened door frame. It bent down, picking up the tear gem, twirling it absently in its fingers. The figured sighed softly, straighting itself and turning towards the steps.

'I'm sorry I put you threw all that pain.' Hiei thought, stuffing the tear gem in his pocket, not wanting any one to come across it. He smiled, a true smile, 'But I promise, Yukina, I'm here for you now..' his smile faded, "But why on Earth did you have to fall in love with that baka ningen?" he asked outloud. He shooked his head and darted down the stairs, feeling he needed to speak with a certian kitsune.

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

"HIEI!" Kurama shrieked falling out of his spinny chair, "I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THAT!" he yelled sitting up and glaring at the Fire Demon who was perched on the window sill. The kitsune stood up, snatching his pencil and sat back down on his chair, calmly turning and looking at Hiei.

"Hn, being in a ningen body has givin you their reactions.." Hiei said, smirking. Kurama growled.

"Yeah well if someone suddenly popped in your window and screamed at the top of their lungs, 'I need your help' you would be surprised to." He huffed annoyed then shrugged, "What do you need?"

"Advice.." Hiei said.

"On?" Kurama asked, blinking. There was a long awkward silence. The two sat staring at each other, one pearched in the window sill, the other sitting comftorbly in a chair. Kurama pationtly waited.

"Love.." Hiei said quietly, Kurama barely caught the words. A smile spread across the kitsunes face and he leaned back, folding his hands together.

"Sisco?" Kurama asked. Hiei nodded. "Hm..well..truthfully I havn't fallen in love with anyone in my human form..and in Youko..." he smirked sheepishly, "I really didn't either.." This resived him a disgusted glare from the Youkai. Kurama turned back to his homework and straightend them. "I know someone who you can ask.." he said, grabbing his school bag and stuffing the papers inside.

"Are you saying I told you this for no reason?" Hiei whined, glaring out the window. Kurama laughed lightly.

"I would of found out advantully, Hiei." he cooed, then stood up, pulling his shoes off. "Yuusuke and Keiko are in love. Ask Yuusuke what it feels like." Kurama said shrugging and neatly setting his shoes by his bed. (I know they take their shoes off in Japan before they enter the house, but I needed Kurama to do something..)

"WHAT!" Hiei hissed, "I'm not asking a ningen, expecially not that ningen!"

"You trust, Yuusuke, don't you?" Kurama asked, flicking his lamp off. The room was bathed in shadows and Kurama climbed into his bed, seeing crimson eye's glowing in the dark. "Since when were you a coward?" Kurama asked, smirking. He resived a 'Hn' as a reply then the Fire Demon swung his legs out on the outside of the window. "Good night Hiei." Kurama said quietly. The dark figured dissappeard. Kurama laid down sighing, "And good luck." he said softly, closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.

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

"HIEI DONT DO THAT!!" Yuusuke screamed, picking himself up from the floor and glaring at the Fire Demon, who stood in his kitchen, arms crossed.

'Damn these ningen's are jumpy.' Hiei thought, smirking.

"What do you want?" Yuusuke hissed, grabing his spelt bowl of noodles and tossing it in the sink and shuffling over to grab a towel.

"I.." Hiei started, and for the first time he found himself at a loss of words. Yuusuke cleaned up his spilt mess and threw the towel in the sink, crossing his arms. 'God your an idiot, Hiei!' the demon thought to himself, slapping himself mentally. 'He's a ningen..' Hiei shrugged, "I was just wondering on what time Kuwabara leaves during school days..I'm planning on chasing him there every day, the oaf needs some exercise." Hiei said smirking, he kicked himself mentally, 'God you already know this, IDIOT' he thought, 'You always chase Kuwabara to school when your bored..agh..'

Yuusuke eyed the little demon suspicously. "8:15..." he said catiously. Hiei nodded and in a flash he was gone, on his way to a diffrent person he thought could help him

'God why am I doing this over a baka girl..' he thought to himself, 'Stupid emotions..'
