Just To Clear Things Up (JTCTU):
In Prologue there was a girl and her twin brother. (Sister and Brother) There was Ryutsu, an orphan boy that they took care of. And there were the two men that killed the rest of their family and wanted to murder the rest of them. They said that they hadn't murdered Kai, Sister's (Taikana) older sister. So now Taikana spends all of her time looking for Kai.
By The Way (BTW):
Thanks for all the reviews; they were great.

Chapter 2: Tai's Family(Hiei's POV First Person)
After just seeing her, I felt attracted to her. And now I think I'm going to go crazy. I never had to battle my own self this hard. I found it hard just to keep emotionless when I was around her. I even felt the urge to smile! Nooooooo! Why me?!?!?!?
As I sat up, still thinking about her, I was about to fall over and if I did I would land on top of her. I held my breath, but a sudden strong gust of wind helped me regain my balance. I breathed in relief. I must've breathed too loud because Tai stirred. I held my breath again. She sat up, looked around, and shivered.
I don't know what made me do what I did, but, in my defense, I defiantly didn't do it consciously. I jumped down from my perch and threw my cloak around her. As I said before I don't know what made me do it.
Tai looked up at me and I looked at her, "Thanks," she murmured. She took the cloak and pulled it closer. Damn, my favorite cloak.
Tai was gazing upward and I felt inclined to do the same. My eyes slowly traveled up and my gaze fell on the moon. It was stunning. I did not just say the moon was stunning. Yes you did. No I didn't. Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. Man, why me?
"The moon," Tai began, "Isn't it beautiful?"
I think that I said that she was beautiful. I choked on the words and she didn't hear them. Which was a very good thing. "Oh, the moon is beautiful." And so is she. I didn't say that. Yes you did. No I didn't. The constant battle: Hiei vs. Hiei.
I needed to say something, anything that would distract my mind from saying anything stupid. "So, why are you here?" Ok, I admit, that was the absolute stupidest thing I have ever said.
Tai laughed a second, "I'm here because you made me promise not to run away."
I felt embarrassed, but decided not to let it show, "Well, what were you doing before we came?"
"I was looking for my older sister, Kai," Tai replied, "There were these two men that came to my family one night…"

(Tai's POV First Person)
I was sitting inside our, as in my family's, house. It was extremely big which was good because my parents had had thirteen children. Their first two were already dead killed in a battle by two apparitions. Kai defeated those apparitions. She was next in line as eldest and then came my twin brother and I.
After that came the other eight. None were close to my age and they could've easily been my babies. Actually only six were there, the other two were dead, died from a terrible disease that plagued my whole family.
I was lounging on the ground, my brother whispering in my ear about Kai's battle that day. Kai was getting food. Mother and father upstairs, probably conceiving another baby. That is the only thing they did. Two of the little ones were playing tag inside the house, the two youngest ones. The other four were picking berries outside.
It was a pretty nice day. I shouted triumphantly when my brother finished the tale, earning two confused looks from the little ones. They looked silly. I looked at my brother the same time he looked at me and we both burst out laughing.
We must've been laughing too hard because we never heard or smelled their presence. The presences of two evil men, I might add. The men rammed down the door and came into the house both holding two struggling little ones.
"Don't move or else they get it," The one who wielded a sword said.
Mother and father came down the stairs, both dressed only with a towel. I almost burst out laughing but the tension in the room stopped me. "What do you want with us?" demanded my father.
The one with the sword sliced cleanly through the two little ones who were playing tag just minutes before. They fell down in a heap of body and blood. I screamed and I wasn't the only one either. Kai had just burst into the room and saw the murder, and she screamed too. Mother also screamed.
"Let us kill you," said the other man who wielded a bow, pointing at my parents, "And we won't kill them."
Father looked extremely dumbfounded, but with a push from mother both compiled and two arrows were shot into their heads. I screamed again. Kai looked on, with wide eyes.
"What pathetic fools," said one of the men, "Like we would tell the truth."
Kai's eyes opened, turning almost round, and shouted toward my brother and I, "Run!!!!"
We ran but a sudden strong smell of dead meat and blood caused me to faint. All was black.

(Hiei's POV First Person)
"Then I woke up and my brother told me that everyone was dead, even Kai," Taikana finished sorrowfully.
"But you said you were looking for Kai," I said dumbly, "Is she dead?"
"The men came back wanting to kill us and said that they wanted to kill three of us. 'You two and that ridiculous Kai' so I just assume that Kai is still alive," Tai said, "But if you really want to know if Kai is dead you shouldn't ask me, because I have no idea." She broke down and sobbed. I felt an urge to comfort her.
Again, I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I wrapped my arms around her and said that everything was going to be fine. I could've screamed. Nothing, I mean nothing, like that, or even close to that, ever came out of my mouth.
She must've believed because she drifted back into sleep soon. I, on the other hand, couldn't. If I removed my arms she would probably be woken up. So. So I can't do it. Why not?. Because it will wake her up. So what?. Damn myself.
I didn't move and I stayed up the whole night. Maybe that was why I was so grumpy when I woke, yup, probably was.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Dedicated to MINUIKO, because I might accidentally kill her in the near future.

When I was writing this the spell checker was so annoying.
Taikana,
wrong,
spelling suggestions,
Taikaka,
since when is Taikaka a word?
Also, This chappie is only about 1000 words so I guess I will keep doing 1000 word chappies unless I'm inspired.
