Flashback
Hiei approached the tree and unsheathed his sword, making sure it swished out its hilt loudly enough as if to announce his presence. A dark figure alighted from one of the highest boughs to face him. Startling silver eyes and a bright grin greeted him. "Good evening, Hiei." The kidnapper said in a low voice, almost an excited whisper.
"You look way too happy to see me. Where is Yukina?" The kidnapper made an expression of mock disappointment. "Don't you remember me? We had so much fun..." Her face became suddenly familiar to him. It had been the strangest fight he could remember having. He had been on an assassination mission that night and he was on his way to the village where his target should be sleeping. When he came to the bridge he found someone with her hands shoved in her pockets looking bored. She looked up at him and smiled the exact same smile his sister's kidnapper was wearing a few seconds ago, and she said a simple greeting. "Good afternoon. It's a beautiful night, eh?" she skipped over to the entrance of the bridge, directly in front of Hiei's path. "Get out of my way." Hiei commanded. She was just an irritating little girl, not even the slightest hint of a youki. "Please stay and talk with me for a while, I'm really bored." She pleaded.
"Get out of my way, NOW!" she pouted. "That's not very polite of you." Hiei unsheathed his sword, it was really a shame to have to kill a cute little girl, however she'd had her chance. But then her eyes flashed hinting a sudden change in attitude. "Move now or die!" He warned. "I am afraid I cannot let you pass."
Lightning
Suddenly all his senses seemed to have gone crazy. All he could see was a horrible sound that reminded him of air being ripped. Worst of all his entire body was coursing with excruciating pain. He was reduced to writhing in pain on the ground. 'What was that'? His head hurt so bad he could barely hear himself think. "That was lightning. Please leave or we can have a nice little chat, or else I'll have to show you worse than that." She was still smiling the same childish smile. "Or are you going to stay and play with me?" He assumed an offensive fighting stance. "I have no time for play, but I will punish you!" His first attack should have beheaded her, however she dodged somehow and he'd only managed to cut off her long, dark ponytail. She gasped and watched it fall to the ground. Her next action thoroughly amused him, but this feeling would be short lived. In one fluid motion she pulled from one of her pockets a large gleaming dagger and assumed a defensive stance. "Only licensed cosmetologists should give haircuts!" Hiei snickered, was she really going to attack the greatest swordsman in the Makai with an oversized kitchen knife? "Don't make me laugh." "If I wanted to do that your sides would have split by now." "We'll see whose sides are split!" He attacked gain and she barely dodged it. Now the side of her shirt was cut cleanly open revealing the soft tan skin beneath.
Hiei of a Thousand Eyes
She was fast, but not as fast as he. The fight kept her on the defensive side for some time as she could hardly evade his swift attacks. 'Close combat should be a disadvantage for such a long sword, but I better slow him down a bit before I get any closer.' She thought Hiei flitted to a nearby tree to avoid a laser like beam. "Impressive, for a little girl. But you'll have to do a better to defeat me. Don't you know who I am?"
"Of course I've been dying to meet you Hiei."
"Then die you will!" Hiei ripped the bandana covering his Jagan from his head revealing a gleaming purple eye. "Oh my! I didn't hear about that. You might wanna keep that covered up!" Glowing red energy rings wrapped her body and lifted her into the air above Hiei who was now very, very green. 'Helpless! I get the feeling this is one of those days I'll wish I could die.' she thought. 'There's no telling how long he'll keep me here.' Her mind raced and for the first tine her expression became apprehensive. 'Did he just turn green?' Hiei leaped and hung in the air a few feet from precious and removed his cloak. A hundred glinting eyes stared out of sickening green flesh. "Consider yourself lucky I don't have time to make this slow and painful."
His opponent never found out what he did have time to do as her fear had given her rather unstable spirit energy a boost causing it to completely destroy Hiei's energy rings. She fell to the ground but Hiei had flown down and had gotten there before her.
Tantrum
The abrupt meeting of her face with the dirt seemed to have triggered her temper a bit. She darted at Hiei and burst into a string of furious attacks slicing across his green skin several savagely at the glaring eyes. She left Hiei with no choice but to use a fire attack. He thrust his palm forward into her gut and shot a pillar of fire through her stomach. A bloodcurdling shriek was heard throughout the forest. Hiei grinned; he'd always loved the sound of death shrieks. His victim dropped to her knees with a gaping hole in her stomach, but there was something wrong, she was still moving. When he looked closer he was horrified to see bone, organs, and flesh regenerating. She looked up at him with pure fury burning in cold silver eyes. Her hand was clutched the burned hole in her shirt. "You just ruined my favorite shirt. That makes me angry. Do you know what happens when I get angry?" Before he could answer or figure out what was going on he felt himself blown backwards by a huge explosion. His head rang with the noise, and the girl was screaming and cursing something awful at him. In addition to the blast he felt his opponents fury all around him somehow. Had the attack been triggered by emotion? Whatever caused it, the explosion left him on his back. He heard her rise to her feet, but he was too badly injured to get up himself.
"If you hadn't been so mean to me, I wouldn't have had a temper tantrum. I was only supposed to delay you a few minutes anyways."
"Delay me!" He struggled to his feet and looked across the crevice that separated the forest from the village where his target. "There's no trying to get there now. Someone has tipped Karasu off about you. I was just 'sposed to delay you while the messenger got to him and woke him up so he could get out. He should be long gone now." She giggled. "And so am I. Buh-bye!" She skipped off into the darkness of the forest. Hiei dropped back to his knees; she'd purposely stabbed and slashed every eye on his green body she could get at. The agony was unbearable. He shifted out of his Majin form. The encounter was just now making sense. Someone had tipped off Karasu that he was coming to kill him and sent the girl to distract him while he escaped. With this thought he passed out from pain and blood loss.
