-The First Battle-

The sky darkened and Kuwabara and Yusuke caredfully looked around, trying to find any sign of movement of attack.

The shadows separated and became tiny black particals, rushing up in the sky.

They slowly formed into an outline of a body and a scratchy voice rang through the wind. "What do we have here? Man flesh!"

Yusuke and Kuwabara looked up and tried finding the voice. It seemed to surround them everywhere.

"I will have a feast tonight!" the voice called out excitedly.

Kuwabara summouned his Spirit Sword and held it up, ready to attack and defend.

"Hurry up and show yourself! I don't have time to deal with you!" Yusuke shouted angrily, his pointed right index finger glowing blue.

"Feisty aren't you. I like to take time on my meal." The voice whispered.

"Don't encourage it Urameshi!" Kuwabara called out, looking everywhere for the voice. "I have this bad feeling. We better be careful."

"Come on man. It sounds like an old grandpa."

"Old grandpa! How dare you! I guess your the first volunteer." The voice shouted angrily.

And with that, the black particals zoomed to Yusuke and covering his body like bees on honey.

Yusuke let out a blast of his Spirit Gun, but it just shot through them, not affecting the particals at all.

They nawed on his skin, blood trickling out.

"Urameshi!" Kuwabara yelled out, running forward.

He tried slashing through them, which only hurt Yusuke during the process.

Suddenly a red ball of light came hurtling torward them and the black particals moved away from Yusuke. They rested in the air as the red light landed.

Yusuke's eyes widen at the person who appeared.

*~* Hiei and Keiko *~*

It was the early morning and the sun had setted between the mountain peaks.

Keiko lazily opened her eyed slowly, feeling a warmness around her. And she smelled a fragrance of frying fish.

Getting up, a black cloak fell from her shoulders. Hiei's, Keiko thought.

"Awake are you. Come on, get up and have some breakfast." Hiei quietly said, sitting next to the fire.

Keiko nodded and looked around, "Are there any rivers or streams nearby?"

"Of course there are. That's how I caught the fish." Hiei said smirking.

"Well, do you think that you could show me?" Keiko said glaring.

"Past those trees, you'll find a small river." Hiei said, laughing a little.

"Thank you. It's okay if I use your cloak, right?" Keiko said coldly, walking up and taking it with her. She saw Hiei nod, and continued forward.

As she walked, her heart thumped slower. She was glad that she could turn away and not see Hiei. The sight of him and him not being covered by his cloak was definetly a different sight. Her heart thumped faster at the sight of him a few moments ago.

Walking, Keiko found the small river Hiei talked about. She untied her hair from her ponytail and dunked her head in the cool water.

Rubbing it till it felt clean enough, Keiko used the cloak and dyried her as best as she could.

Putting her hair in a loose bun, Keiko was surprised that the cloak dried instantly, still warm and comforting.

Afterwards, Keiko washed her arms, and wiped the mud that had splattered on her lags.

Feeling, at least cleaner, Keiko walked back, shivering from the cold water. Wrapping the cloak around her, Keiko spotter Hiei in a tree sleeping.

The fire burned lower and fish was laid on a rock next to it.

*~* Kuwabara and Yusuke, and somebody else you will find out in a minute... ^.^ *~*

Yusuke's body trickled blood everywhere.

"It seems that you guys are in needed aid." A quiet, calm voice said.

"Kurama!" Kuwabara yelled in surprise.
