Okay, chapter eight. Oh, shit. I should probably put a disclaimer on this one. Okay:

Disclaimer: Roses are red, violets are blue, I sure as hell don't own Yu Yu Hakusho, so you better not sue.

I got that off some Fanfic that I clicked on last year, but never really read cause I couldn't remember what it was called. Hieifan666: thank you for the suggestion, and I'm going to use it. Muwhaha!

Chapter Eight: Meet the Reikai Tantei

Okay. This was not fun. You were standing at the top of the building, with a group of humans staring at you like you were a demon, which, come to think of it, you probably were, and a group of people, one of which just killed about forty demons who was probably a demon himself, two people you'd never met, and someone you knew was a demon. The good thing was that these five people drove the cloak back into his portal. The guy with the red hair spoke.

"I am Kurama. This is Yusuke," he motioned to the black haired kid "Kuwabara" he motioned to the orange haired kid, "and you've already met Hiei, I'm told." Ha ha. Yeah right. You thought you knew him. Obviously not.

You had an idea. 'I have the power to open up portals........' you thought to yourself. With that you turned around, and dived off the building in a beautiful ten point swan dive, thinking 'portal open! Portal open! Portal open!' over and over and over. You fell for a while, and then opened your eyes. "Oh shit.' You thought. Obviously the portals weren't obeying you. You freaked. You were forty, no, thirty feet above the ground, and falling fast. "Open Sesame!" you screamed. Nothing happened. You said a quick prayer, and closed your eyes. An inch above the ground, something caught you, and went up so fast that your brain was left behind. It dumped you on something hard, and then started shaking you. Once again, you found yourself looking at the pretty faeries. There was Tinkerbelle, and Thumbelina... then the thing slapped you in the face, and you opened your eyes, straight into crimson ones.

"Oh, not again" you groaned and sat up. You stared at Hiei. Then you pointed straight at him "You! This is your entire fault, Bitch! You caused all this to happen! They didn't even know I existed until you came along! You are such an asshole! Why are you doing this to me, why can't you just leave me alone...." You ranted on and on. it was all his fault you were stuck here. He was the cause of all your problems. You just stared and ranted and pointed, until you took a really good look at him, and started noticing that he was not even looking slightly disturbed about your screaming. He was just staring like he expected this, and all your steam went out your ears.

"Are you quite finished, ningen?" he asked you, unemotionally. Looking really bored.

You pouted. "remember that talk we had about calling me ningen?" you told him severely. Your fall had left all your fear behind. If he was going to kill you, there was absolutely nothing you could do about it, so you had no reason to be scared (my philosophy on monsters in the closet). The kid called Yusuke snickered.

The one called Kuwabara said "About time someone told the shrimp off. Just sorry it wasn't me. Who thought it would be a girl who finally got up the guts?" he stood there and laughed. Hiei disappeared, and Kuwabara hit the ground, grabbing his head, where there was a huge bump.

"Rei, we need to take you to a place where you'll be safe." Kurama said. You just stared at him.

"Are you evil?" you asked him, not really caring.

He laughed and said "No. I am not. None of the people on this roof are." Okay. That was good. Of course, most of the people on the roof were humans huddled together in a tight ball, watching all this.

"How do I know?" you asked.

This time Hiei spoke up. Good for him. "Listen ninge... Rei. I don't have all day to waste standing here. Come now and be safe, or stay and die from the demons you must have noticed are after you." You "hmphed" to yourself, and stood up, swaying a little from your long drop, and sudden stop.

"Let's go!" you said, and started skipping off the roof, humming to yourself. You saw them exchange glances. Kurama put a hand on your shoulder.

"you might want to go to your house and pack. We'll take you there, to protect you." You nodded. Whatever. You walked down the stairs, with them following you, and to your apartment, which took some trial and error to find, because you had run through allies you had never seen before to get here, and had no idea where here was. when you finally got there, you saw the front half of your building burned down. Oh well. Nothing new. Good thing Swizzy had moved in with your friend Becca and was now becoming very fat with all the pampering. You went up to your room, dragged out your suitcase, and stuffed all your clothes, a picture of your dad, mom, and sister, a necklace, a ton of pictures of Swizzy, and your ten posters of Orlando Bloom that had been hanging on the wall. You shouldered your unbelievably heavy bag, and walked out to the hall, where the gang was waiting for you.

"Just one question before we go" you said "how long am I gonna have to be gone for?" Kurama looked at you.

"Quite a while. Perhaps your entire life." Yes! Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!!!!! You did your mental victory dance, but then stopped. That meant you were never gonna see Chelsea again. Oh well. It meant you were never gonna see your mom, or anyone at school again, either. You started doing the mental dance again.

"Um... Rei? Are you okay?" Yusuke asked you. Of course you were okay, you were leaving!

"Yup." You said. "lead on" Hiei took your bag, which you were staggering under the weight of, and Kurama led you all to the top of the roof.

"Okay. Rei, we have found a way to tap into your power. This may be scary, but doing this will open a portal to where we want to go. Okay?"

"okay" you said, getting quivers in your stomach. Your sanity was starting to return. Hiei shoved your bag at Yusuke, and stood in front of you. He untied the bandanna on his forehead, and once again showed the scary purple eye. You gulped, but held your position. He was hot, which you had noticed from cleaning all his wounds. He was muscular, but still, he was dangerous, and scary. If he was a little nicer, you would even think you had a crush on him... no you didn't. Uh uh. EVIL DEMON you reminded yourself. This chased those thoughts to the back of your mind.

Hiei's POV

She didn't back away. That was good. But she did get the scared look in her eyes, like her nightmares had just opened up in real life. I placed my hands on her shoulders, which flinched slightly. Damn it. And went looking for her power.

I had to look into her mind while doing this. I saw sun, and a mother. She looked exactly like an older Rei. Aw, cute. Memories of her as a child. While in her mind, I found memories of other things, too. Like as a child wishing she could disappear in the bathroom after being embarrassed, and then being able to walk around for the rest of the day with no one seeing or noticing her. I'd have to mention that to Genkai... I opened up another part of her mind, looking for the blue light that was her power. And found her dreams. And nightmares. Most of which were of me. Damn it all. I saw her nightmares of my eyes, my sword, and my fire. I quickly hurried out of that section. I don't know why it bothered me, it just did. I finally pushed myself into the heart of her mind, and found the blazing blue that was her power. It was so pretty.... Okay. That was odd. She had the power to draw people into her mind, and make them do whatever she wanted. Like a weaker version of his Jagan eye. Oh well. At least it was less powerful. Now I opened a portal from inside, and 'programmed' it to Genkai's temple. Done, I felt my way out of her mind, not wanting to yank, in case I destroyed it. Koenma would be mad. So would I. I opened my two real world eyes, and stepped back. Rei stared at me.

"Did you see all that?" she whispered. I suddenly felt guilty. Why the hell was I having these thoughts? I probably just didn't want to hurt her after she saved my life, I told myself. Probably. I knew that was a lie. But I just shrugged it off and stepped into the portal.
