Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. I do own Iwashi and Kitsunnoai owns Yurino and Kit's sister owns Nako, who has not been introduced yet. You know what? I'm really tired of writing disclaimers but I don't want to get sued so I'll keep writing them.

Chapter 8

Iwashi and Hiei

Too Many Questions

"Hiei, when will we stop? How come you can run so fast?" Iwashi asked. Hiei ignored her. She had been constantly asking questions since her brother and Yurino had fallen in the pit.

"Can we stop? I'm tired," Iwashi said.

"I guess so. This will waste time though," Hiei said. "They had been running for almost two hours without resting.

"Hiei how long did you work with Youko? What was he like then?" Iwashi asked. Now that he was resting Hiei could actually say something back to her.

"Iwashi, you ask too many questions," Hiei said.

"Maybe if you answered them, I wouldn't ask so many," she retorted. "So answer my questions."

"If I answer it will you stop asking me questions?" Hiei asked. Iwashi nodded.

"Well, we worked together for about thirty years," Hiei began. "Back then he was much...colder. He was one of the bets fighters I have ever seen. At that time he would never have given a girl a second glance, or let anyone else heal him, for that matter." Hiei sat back to think. Iwashi began to ask something but stopped herself.

"I guess taking care of you, combined with living in the human world softened him up. One day, you see, he got a letter saying all of his family, except his younger sister, had been killed. He left as soon as he could. About that time, the government decided that I was a threat. They put me in prison for crimes they said 'I had never been punished for'. That's how I got where I'd been..." Hiei trailed off, realizing that he had gotten into his own past.

"No go on. I'm listening," Iwashi said.

"No we have to leave. We've wasted too much time already," Hiei said, standing up. As the two set off running one thing could be heard. A question.

"Hiei can I ask you stuff again?"

Hah, give you all one guess who said that. I know this chapter was kinda short but the next one is like a really long one. Hehehe, Kurama and Yurino. Hope you like this, cause I'm typing it while coming back from Massachusetts. Oh the joy of laptops.

Ja ne!

Thought of the Chapter: How come I'm not running away and screaming because Kit is dong the 'monkey dance'? Why am I even asking? (She says that she's high on non-existant sugar)
