Chapter 6
~Flash back~
"Come on, get her move on!" Natu commanded the thieves that held on the rope that was tied around Yomi's neck and hands. One of the thieves held a whip, and he was using it mercilessly. Never the less, Yomi tugged against the rope and dug her heels into the ground. Natu grinned at another chance to torture the poor young youkai; he tapped his ring three times and Yomi's head was covered in black electricity. She screamed and fell on her knees.
"Ok guys, here's our new member. She's a little spicy, but we'll tame her," Natu announced triumphantly. "She's a bit young, but who wants her?" Natu declared. 'Wants', the word meant complete control of her, it meant that who ever has her could do what ever they want with her, it meant that she no longer has free will.
Immediately, hands went up along with shouts of "I do!"
Natu looked around with a big smile. "You! Come here!" He pointed at someone. The boy glared at him. "I said come here boy!" He yelled. "I am here." A cold voice behind him said. "You're the fast one aren't you? The one we found!" Natu mocked. Hiei squinted at him, his eyes burning with anger. "Yeah, you're the one that were threw out of your own birthplace!" Natu added the oil to Hiei's already burning hatred. Someday, he thought, someday I'll be stronger and you will be nothing.
"But anyways," Natu continued with a evil grin, "you're about the same age as her and you two are of the same race. I give her to you, as a present." Disagreements from all around rang out. "She's a youkai? Fire? So what? She'll only slow me down. Why not let your other puppies keep her?" Hiei said as he walked away. "Because I said she's yours!" Natu swung around and knocked trees down with his anger.
Everything was quiet for a while as the dust settled. Hiei knew he couldn't defeat Natu, not yet. "She won't slow you down," Natu said, a smile cracked out from his ugly face. "Fight him and show how good you are, my pretty pet," he said to Yomi. "I will never fight for you, Natu, never! You can torture me with your toys all you want, but you will never brake me! Mark my words, you didn't slay me like you did to my parents, I will prove to you what a fatal mistake you made; I will have revenge. Don't sleep with both eyes closed while I'm here, Natu, I swear I will kill you someday!" Yomi's words chilled the thieves to the bones, even Natu's. Hiei looked at the girl youkai with a different light in his eyes, a kind of tenderness. Her beauty was shocking, but her will, her determination was more.
Natu recovered from fear and grinned as Yomi stood up and glared at him the same way Hiei did. "Like I said, she's yours now. Have fun!" He said and walked away. The two fire demons stood alone until everyone was gone. Hiei turned and faced her.
"What's your name?" He asked coolly.
"Yomi," she answered with the same iciness in her voice.
"Darkness?" Hiei said astonished.
"And yours?" Yomi asked.
"Hiei," his voice lost a bit of the coldness.
"Flying shadow?" Yomi commented, her voice, too, softened. ~End of flash back~
