Hiei paced his steps carefully, going not to fast, but then not too slow.

The memory of her lips on his still haunted him. He didn't know what took over him, an impulse had taken control.

After that kiss, they had walked for a few miles till he decsided to stop for camp.

The human girl found a place to rest and she closed her eyes slowly. Hiei smirked and leaned against the tree. The sun was about to rise, the wind playfully dancing with the trees.

*~*Yusuke and Kuwabara*~*

"This is the portal that will take you to the border of Makai. Use the communication mirror to contact me if you have questions or finished the case." Botan said as she pointed to the glowing green hole in the tiled ground.

"Wait a minute! How are we supposed to find her when we have no lead?" Yusuke asked.

"Well, it's going to be a search and find case. And ummmmm... you can use the demon compass. Oh wait, there's going to be demons everywhere.. Hmmmmm... I know! Just use Kuwabara's Spirit Awareness. With that, you'll be able to locate Keiko's life force. Since she's a human, her's will be lower than all the other demons."

"Wow. What great help Botan." Yusuke muttered, crouching to jump down into the portal.

Frowning, Botan said, "I'll be leaving now. I have to go tell Koenma that you boys are in Makia now." And with that, she left, her blue hair in a high ponytail trailed behind her.

"Well, lets go." Kuwabara sighed, waiting for Yusuke to jump down.

Yusuke leaped down, feeling the air around him close. It felt like a vacuum sucking him in sucking him in a cage, till.. His feet landed on solid ground.

The air parted and turned into cool clear out doors.

Kuwabara landed next to him, or more like it, falling next to him.

Here, the sun was already setted, resting on the horizon.

The mountain peaks gleamed royal purple. "Come on Kuwabara, get up! We have to go find Keiko."

*~*Hiei and Keiko*~*

She felt strong arms encircled around her, the wind quickly passing her.

Keiko opened her eyes, and found Hiei carrying her, and walking up a hill, "What the hell do you think you're doing?!?!"

Hiei looked down upon her and smiled, "So. You're awake."

"Yes. But answer my question! What are you doing?"

"Carrying you." He said simply slowing his pace.

She flung her arms at him and he stopped immediately.

"Let me go!" she yelled.

He dropped her on the hard rock floor, and Keiko glared at him, rubbing her bottom from the pain.

"Are you not afraid of me?" he asked looking down on her.

"That has nothing to do with the answer! What do you think you were doing, carrying me like that?!"

He smirked and said, "If I woke you up, I'd have to deal with you're bad temper. Now come on, we'll set up for the night an hour or two."

She continued glaring at him, as he walked off once again.

"Man, I'm tired. Lets stop for a rest Urameshi." Kuwabara complained, lagging behind.

"KUWABARA! Come on! Get your lazy ass up and keep walking."

"It's not like Hiei is going to rape her or hurt her. He's just using her as bait. Right?"

"All I want is to find Keiko as soon as possible. I don't know why, but I've just got a really bad feeling."

Sighing, Kuwabara followed and kept on muttering.

"Can you sense her life force?" Yusuke asked, turning to see him.

"Hold on Urameshi."

"You can sense her? Where? Where is she?"

"Shut up for a minute!" Kuwabara yelled.

"Who are you telling me to shut up? Can you find her or not." Yusuke protested, glaring at him.

Kuwabara pointed to the bushes, where the shadows dwelled, "Over there."

Yusuke looked at him and asked confusedly, "She's in there?"

"No. Not Keiko. Something is there. Something that's evil lives there." Kuwabara slowly said.

And with that, the shadows that was there, seeped out, encircling the entire area slowly.

"Well. Guess this is our first fight." Yusuke muttered.

*~* Hiei and Keiko *~*

Her feet ached from walking nonstop and her mind felt dizzy from lack of food.

Her uniform which was pretty warm, wasn't helping much as they went higher near the mountains.

Her legs that were not covered by her skirt were freezing, and her lips started turning blue.

"Aren't you cold?" Keiko asked, hugging herself to stay warm.

Hiei slowly turned his head and looked at her, "I suppose you human's do get cold near the mountain area."

He stopped and found some dry wood to burn. In no time he had started a fire that glowed brightly against the gray settings.

Keiko sat near the fire and stared at the dancing orange, red, yellow, and blue flames. All mixed in together, drawing her closer, mesmerized at the enchanting, glowing fire.

Out of impulse, she reached out her hand and drew it closer to the glowing flames. Until, a hand smacked her's away.

"You shouldn't be touching fire." Hiei growled.

"I wasn't playing, I .. I just wanted to see if something that beautiful was real." Keiko softly said.

"You think fire is beautiful?" Hiei asked, staring at her while she stared at the fire.

"Yes. I do."

"You're pretty weird aren't you?"

She looked up and glared at him, "I am not. Many people think that fire is beautiful. Writers write about the dancing flames." Keiko softly added, "It fascinates them on how bright and warm they are."

And with that, Keiko spoke no more and she settled herself on the ground and fell asleep.

The words that Keiko had spoken affected Hiei in some way. Her voice echoed in his mind, "It fascinates them on how bright and warm they are."

He looked at her sleeping body and found Keiko shivering. He moved near her slowly and sat next to her.

With in moments her shivering stopped. He stared at her peaceful form and then looked back at the flames.

The night wore on, the full moon hanging in the black sky.
