Zoe: Sorry I haven't updated this in a while. I've been busy getting out of school and writing other fics.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho, I only own Zoe and Neiton and this fic. I wonder if I would own Xavier, though. He's the same person as Hiei, and- Oh I don't know!

Yami Zoe: You own yourself?

Zoe: -_-'

CHAPTER FOUR "Truth Revealed"

Zoe was walking in the dark, when she saw Xavier going into the alley, but saw the alley was like a vortex.

Zoe: XAVIER!!! IT'S A TRAP!!!

But right when he turned to face her, Zoe could see a shiny piece of metal sticking out of his chest, followed by blood running down from it. Then Xavier collapsed.

Zoe: XAVIER!!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Zoe's screaming woke her up. She was covered in sweat, and it was 2:47 in the morning. She quickly reached for her telephone and dialed Xavier's number.

Xavier: *answers tiredly* Zoe, what is it?

Zoe: I need to talk to you. Meet me in the alley.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

As Zoe and Xavier walked into the alley, Xavier asked her,

Xavier: What did you want?

Zoe hesitated to speak. She had to tell Xavier who he was, but so many thoughts were running through her head. Will he believe me? If I tell him, will Neiton kill me? Would I have a chance to say goodbye?

Zoe: Xavier, you're in danger.

Xavier: Why?

Zoe: You probably won't believe me when I say this, but you have a secret past. That Hiei character you saw? You're him, and there's someone after you, seeking revenge. It was supposed to be a secret, but-

All of a sudden, a figure appeared in the shadows.

~It was Neiton~

Neiton: -but I guess some of us are horrible at keeping secrets. Too bad.

He took out a dagger and just about struck Zoe's heart, but Xavier pushed her out of the way.

Xavier: Who the hell are you?!

Neiton: I see you still don't remember, Hiei. Well maybe I should refresh your memory!

Neiton charged at Xavier with amazing agility, but he still managed to get out of the way. Now it looked like a game of tag, but they were moving so fast, that Zoe could barely see them.

Then she saw someone fly back against the wall.

Zoe: Xavier!

She ran over to him, and saw that he wasn't unconscious, just injured.

Neiton: Maybe you're the one that's too slow.

Zoe: STOP IT!!! This has gone too far!

Neiton; I won't quit until he's dead, I hope you know.

Zoe decided to take a stand, and blocked Neiton from Xavier.

Zoe: Leave him alone.

Neiton: *laughing* Do you really think that's going to help?

Zoe: I said leave him alone.

Xavier tried to speak.

Xavier: Zoe, stop it. He'll kill you.

Zoe: I know that.

Xavier: Zoe, move! This isn't your fight!

She refused to move.

Zoe: It is now.

Xavier: Dammit, I said mov-

Neiton: Wait. If this is what the girl wishes, then it might as well be granted.

Zoe felt a sharp pain in her arm, then noticed blood trickling down from it. How come Neiton didn't kill her? She then saw why. Xavier had tried to push her out of the way, and partly succeeded.

She looked up to see Xavier, who did not look happy.

Xavier: Are you crazy!? You're going to get yourself kil-

Xavier stopped. He could feel something in his back.

Neiton: See what happens when you take your guard off?

He pulled out the dagger he had just stabbed him with.

Zoe: XAVIER!!!

Neiton frowned.

Neiton: lucky for you, he moved quick enough for me to miss his beating heart.

He left the alley in an angrily mood.

Zoe looked down with tears in her eyes as Xavier smiled at her.

Xavier: Next time, when I say move, you had better get the hell out of my way.

~*~*~*~*~*~ONE WEEK LATER~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Zoe: How are you?

Xavier: Well I can't say I enjoy hospitals, but I'm just fine. How about you?

Zoe: My arm's probably a lot better than your back. The doctors were surprised you survived. It's a good thing we didn't tell them exactly what happened.

Xavier: Hmm.

Zoe: I'm sorry, that I got involved in this.

Xavier: It wasn't your fault, I guess. But why did you tell me if you knew he would kill you if you did?

Zoe: I had to do something. I couldn't keep it bottled up.

Xavier: You've got to be the bravest and stupidest girl I know.

Zoe laughed. He had cheered her up all day. What she was worried about, though was what Xavier thought about all of this.

They both walked home, each going their separate ways, but not even daring to go into the alley. Well, at least Zoe wasn't.

When Xavier was away from Zoe's sight, he took off into the alley. He also wanted to confront Neiton, but definitely didn't want Zoe to come along.

When he looked, no one was in the alley. Neiton must've been backing off since that day. The alley was somewhat of a meeting place for him, so Xavier had no idea where he really lived.

Suddenly he heard a voice.

Voice: Come here.

The voice startled Xavier. It didn't sound like any voice he knew, but it sounded sort of familiar. He followed the voice a short distance, when he stopped.

Xavier: Who are you?

Voice: You will find out soon enough.

Xavier could make the voice out more clearly now. It was the voice of a girl! He had no idea who, though. He continued to follow the voice, when he came to a corner.

Voice: Turn right, and you will see me.

Xavier did as told, and saw someone standing in the alley..........

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Zoe: CLIFFHANGER!!! Can you guess who the voice is? Can ya? CAN YA?!

Yami Zoe: -_-' Stop stressing the readers.

Zoe: Sorry. I suck at fight scenes. I'm not that much of an action person I guess.

Yami Zoe: They were okay.

Zoe: They were?

Yami Zoe: Mmm-hmm.

Zoe: ^_^ R+R, PLEASE!!! I don't know when I am going to update this fic.
