Looking back, Mehin noticed his little sister dragging Ami and Nikki along.
"Keecha! I told you no on them coming!!"
"But Niichan... I want people to hang out with that don't yell at me!!!" She answered, her voice starting out pleading and ending in a yell. This caused an arguement, which no one seemed to notice the black shadow sitting in the tree watching the arguement in annoyance. Actually, no one noticed it except Nikki, who poked Ami and pointed upward at it while the two hanyou siblings were argueing.
"Do you see it?"
"See what?"
"That black thing! What is it??"
"Nikki, I don't see a black thing. Are you ok?"
"Gah, it must have moved..." About this time, the arguement was growing more heated, or cooled if you will, since Keecha decided the easiest way to win was to try to freeze her brother solid. Suddenly, there was a little person in black with spikey hair splitting the two siblings up.
"Who is that??" asked Ami, eyes getting wide when Keecha backed up, afraid of the short man.
"Told you there was something..." muttered Nikki.
"It's Uncle Hiei..." squecked Keecha, backing right up into the other two girls.
"Don't pick on your sister." Said 'Uncle Hiei' to Mehin. Turning to Keecha, his face softened. Only a little, but it still softened. "Why is your sister afraid of me?"
"She says you're 'scary'. I really don't understand why." Answered Mehin.
"I see why..." squecked Ami in a similar voice to Keecha's.
"Awww! How cute!" squealed Nikki, running up to hug Hiei. As she tried to hug him, she wound up hugging air.
"I am not cute." With a glare to Mehin, he said more. "Why did you bring ningens to Makai?"
"I didn't. Keecha did." With a growl, Hiei answered him.
"You are supposed to keep your sister out of trouble."
"She won't listen to me!"
"You really need to learn when to argue, Mehin. You're too much like the Idiot." This really irritated Mehin, who decided a comment on Hiei's height was appropriate.
"At least I'm not shorter than most ningens." Suddenly, he had a sword at his throat and he could hear Hiei's whispered threat.
"One more comment on my height and I shall kill you. I don't care if you are Yukina's son, you are too much like the Idiot." Talking louder, he continued. "Take care of your sister properly. I'm not dealing with ningens." With a glare at the two ningens, and a double glare at Mehin daring him to ever comment on his height again, Hiei was gone.
"I think Uncle Hiei is too fond of Kaasan..." said Mehin to his sister. "It's not normal."
"I don't know... maybe Kaasan and Uncle Hiei are related." Keecha answered.
"Why do you two call him 'uncle' if he isn't related to you?" asked Ami.
"Cuz Touchan, Uncle Yusuke, Uncle Kurama and Uncle Hiei were all really close. Uncle Hiei just won't admit it, but he was at Touchan's funeral comforting Kaasan like everyone else." Keecha replied. Still annoyed about the meeting with Hiei, Mehin became antsy to go on.
"C'mon, people, we have to catch that youkai. I, for one thing, do not want to stay in Makai overnight." With an evil grin at Keecha, he said more. "Creepy crawlies come out at night."
"That's mean!!" she whined, getting upset. "You know I am afaid of creepy crawlies!!"
So go before they come out. Hurry up, and we might be able to."
"Let's go!!" she yelped, grabbing Nikki and Ami's arms and dragging them along again.
