Episode Two

Hiei's Defense and the Past

Yusuke got punched in the stomach hard, making him fly to the ground.

"YUSUKE!" screamed Keiko, running over to him.

"Adoptive daughter to be exact," said Asmera.

"You-YOU IMPOSTER!" screamed Kuwabara.

Asmera have Kuwabara a death glare that would've made anyone wish that they were far, far, away from this girl. Kuwabara backed away like a scared child who just got burnt by fire for the first time.

Hiei took out his katana.

"I'll deal with this nonsense," he hissed.

Asmera smirked. "Save me some time midget, know your place in line….you're not worth my power or time," she said.

"Nobody tells me my place!" Hiei roared.

Both Hiei and Asmera made a move to tear off each other's head….in the end Hiei ran past Asmera making the sleeve to her purple shirt fall off her arm. Hiei was frozen and the bandana that covered his jagan eye was in pieces…

"Nice try," said Asmera, holding up the spiked clasp that had held her tightly braided hair together.
Hiei stumbled to the ground glaring at his enemy.

Asmera's hair undid it's self, falling a little bit below her waist.

Her eyes gleamed as she spoke, "I'm telling the truth, I'm Genkai's adoptive daughter, over my past issues, but….my past is nothing to be mettled in as I warn you now. I'll help you find the immortal jewel over the fact, Toguro is my problem just as well as yours and for completely different reasons."

"She's in you guys….she'll help us, I know…that punch….it was Genkai all over again," said Yusuke, slowly getting up with the help of Keiko.

"Wha-?" was Kuwabara's reply.

Asmera grinned.

"Yusuke, you're not to bad yourself…you held back that's for sure," she said.

Yusuke laughed a little.

"Yeah, no biggie….I just don't think you mom would want me killing her only daughter. Speaking of she never mentions you," he said.

"I ran away for sometime, so she might've…disowned me by now….it was a month before she met you Yusuke," Asmera replied.

"Why did you run?" asked Botan.

Asmera's fist her clenched…her nails digging into her pale skin. "That is something, I…I refuse to talk about," said Asmera walking off.
"Such a strange girl she is." commented Kurama.

Hiei merely glared as she walked away.

"Okay Genkai open up!" exclaimed Yusuke, pounding on the door to her dojo.

Genkai silently slid open the door letting the Reikai Tentai in.

"What have you come for?" she asked, as she poured some tea for each member.
"Have you ever had a daughter?" asked Yusuke.

Genkai looked startled for a moment. "What makes you think that?" she asked, calming herself.

"Because someone by the name of Asmera Diazmore claimed to be your adoptive daughter," said Kurama.

Genkai finished serving tea and sat down.

"So Asmera's came back for revenge hm? Yes, you are correct; Asmera is my adoptive daughter," she replied.

"How could you adopt a mean girl like her?" asked Kuwabara.

"Don't put it against her. She's had a rough past," replied Genkai.

"Rough past?" asked Hiei.

"Yes, worse than yours Hiei…she has nobody but her brother now…and her brother disappeared," said Genkai.

"Brother? She never mentioned-"began Yusuke.

"Of course she didn't. Asmera can't even have the courage without emotionally stabbing herself to say his name..," finished off Genkai.

"What was his name?" asked Hiei.

"Hittoro, he was taken away from Asmera when she was eleven years old….her family was already dead over a murderer unknown. I took her in, but she was desperate to find her brother. Asmera had only one friend who stayed here at this very dojo….that friend had to leave afterward, and that's when news about Hittoro came. I told Asmera she wouldn't have a chance to win him back from the evils of the past. But she didn't listen, she ran off to find the only family she had left," said Genkai.

"It must've been a lonesome life," said Kurama.

Genkai nodded. "Yes, I trained her…she's more powerful than Yusuke…but Yusuke's slightly a demon so their powers possibly match in combat. She's quite anti-social until you get to know her," she said

"Go find her, take her to the house," muttered Kurama.

"Hn," replied Hiei, jumping off into the night.

Asmera lie on the top of a school roof looking at the silvery stars that glowed in the evening sky.

Something fast and black ran above her, and Asmera quickly sat up.

"Midget, is that you?" she asked.

"Hn."
Hiei stepped out of the shadows, his face showing no emotion at all.

"What are you doing here?" asked Asmera, standing up.

"You were going to sleep here am I correct?" asked Hiei.

Asmera nodded. "Nowhere else to go," she replied.

"Come," Hiei said, grabbing Asmera's arm.

They dashed from the roof of the school into the woods.

"Where exactly are you taking me?" Asmera asked.

Hiei didn't reply but led her to a stone built house that was two levels…the creek in the back yard flowed making her feel relaxed.

"Kurama's place, I live here too…Kurama said to bring you here to stay," Hiei finally replied.

"I'm not intruding am I?" Asmera asked.

"Stay out of everybody's way and you won't be," replied Hiei.

Asmera was led inside, Hiei flipped on the lights to the livingroom.

Asmera glanced at the surroundings before her.

"It's bigger on the inside than the outside," she said.

Hiei smirked. "Looks can be deceiving," he said. There was a long silence.

"If you want to eat, eat….help yourself you don't have to ask. Kurama obviously wants us to share rooms so I'll show you my room," Hiei said.

Asmera was led up stairs by Hiei, who walked down the hall and then opened the last door on the right.

"Last door on the right, remember that," Hiei said.

Asmera nodded, walking in.

Everything was dark…black or red…an occasional blue here and there….

Asmera stumbled in the room; she felt her way around the place for a lamp.

"Hn…Pathetic" muttered Hiei.
A lamp was turned on by Hiei; it was dim but at least Asmera wouldn't stumble.

Asmera opened the black curtains revealing the night sky.

"I prefer it dark in here," said Hiei.

"Well it's my room too, god it's not like it's broad daylight," snapped Asmera.

Hiei placed his katana on the bed and walked off.

Asmera soon followed to get something to eat.

"So tell me, what's up with you and your hate for Toguro?" asked Hiei.

"My past isn't something to be mettled in midget," snapped Asmera.

"I do have a name Asmera," said Hiei.

"You never gave it," said Asmera a smirk playing on her lips.

"It's Hiei," replied Hiei.

"Hiei eh? Cute," commented Asmera.

"I don't like being recalled cute," muttered Hiei.

"I know, I was meaning to tick you off," said Asmera, laughing.

Hiei rolled his ruby red eyes in annoyance. "You never answered my question," he said. Asmera rolled her eyes.

"Alright, alright…you're obviously not going to leave me alone until you get the information you need nosey," she teased.

Hiei smirked. "I'm untrusting until I get to know someone," he said.
