Okay sorry I took so long been on vacation without a comp.

Oh Yeah: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho but I do own all those people I made up.

Demon Love chapter 3: Filling in the holes, well some of them anyway

Hiei woke up in a dimly lit room. The shades on the windows were drawn and a little line of pinkish light was pouring through the crack the shade could not cover. He was in a comfy bed, propped up by a lot of pillows. He yawned and stretched, which sent a sharp pain across his left arm.

Doubled over in silent pain he cursed whatever unknown force had caused his broken arm. Then he remembered, the tournament, Damian, the girls, the devil.

He scrambled out of bed and onto his feet, still clutching his arm. It was then he noticed that his shirt had been taken off and his pants changed to black boxer shorts. He realized that someone one had stripped his clothes to heal him. White bandages were wrapped around his torso, his right knee, his entire left leg and his forehead. 'What the hell?' He thought. He found a pair of jeans at the foot of the bed and pulled them on.

He walked the length of the room in his bare feet and threw open the door. A black cat sat right in his path. It stared up at him with its dark blue eyes, swishing its long tail against the carpet.

"Um, shoo." Said Hiei. The cat didn't move. "What am I doing, talking to a cat?" He said aloud. He stepped over it and walked down the hall, the cat following him. When he reached the landing, he heard voices downstairs. He strained his ears and leaned forward to hear what they were saying but all he accomplished was slipping and sliding down the stairs on his butt. He found himself in Kurama's living room with everyone staring at him. Everyone, he noticed, surprisingly included two of the girls from team Yakokayo.

"What the hell is going on?" He asked.

Maia giggled. "You lost." She said, her playful blue eyes glittering.

"What?" Said Hiei, who was too busy noticing the fact that they were all sitting together as if they were old friends. Boton was sleeping on the couch nearest to him.

"We lost." Kurama restated. "We lost and had to get out of there as fast as we could."

"What about them?" Asked Hiei, pointing at Maia and Luna.

"As soon as they found out who we were, they tried to kill us too." Said Maia, speaking of the Dark Tournament's authority figures. "Lucky thing that Krystal was there or we'd all be dead now."

"The devil chick? Where is she?" Hiei asked, surveying the people in the room. Luna and Keiko, Yusuke's girlfriend, giggled. Maia opened her mouth to speak but fell silent when a voice from the top of the stairs spoke.

"I'm here." She said. Hiei turned around and looked up the stairs. He got out of the way as she descended. Krystal was in bad shape. She was back in her human form now. Her left arm was badly bruised and a long, deep gash ran from her thigh and all the way down her right leg. Blood was soaking through the bandage on her left shoulder. Maia ran to her.

"Give me your hand." The blonde said. Krystal lifted her right arm and made contact with Maia's. Everyone held their breath as a red light shone between their palms and all of Krystal's injuries seemed to fade away. Hiei was spellbound until Maia turned to him and said, "You're next."

He raised his hand slowly and felt her fingertips touch his. A glowing sensation burned at his hand, and then shuddered all the way down his body. Hiei could feel his wounds healing at hyper speed.

"Who are you?" He asked.

Maia looked across the room, and then at Luna and Krystal, who both nodded for her to continue. "We are demons living as outcasts. I myself am a nymph thrown out of my homeland for having contact with other races from outside of the forest." She paused and continued. "I was a lone wanderer for quite some time until I met up with Krystal and Luna. Krystal is a bounty hunter and was at that time searching for a wanted werewolf with Luna's help. I joined them since I had nowhere to go. Along the way, we came across a camp of demons working for Ishamoori. They mistook us for the outlaws they were tracking and put us under arrest. That night, we broke out of the cell they were holding us in and killed the entire camp to escape. We hadn't realized it, but we had destroyed one of Ishamoori's top commanding officers. We have been posted as rebels to his government and now there is a dead or alive bounty on each of us."

She finished her story and everyone stared at her. Kurama spoke first. "So, Damian was a bounty hunter tracking you?" He asked.

Maia nodded and was about to speak again when Kuwabura interrupted. "Who is this Ishamoori character anyway?"

This time it was Hiei who answered. "The head of the biggest demon army in the Makai, those who follow him call themselves Hell's Children."

"Boy, that's a clever name." Said Yusuke sarcastically. "It sounds like a band or something."

"Kurama, are you sure it's all right if we stay here for a few nights?" Asked Luna. Her voice was soft and sweet.

Kurama smiled and nodded. "My mother will be out for a while. She's visiting relatives in America and won't be back for a month or so."

"God, I wish my mother took that long on vacation! Just think of all the parties we could have!" Kuwabara said, his eyes gleaming. Keiko laughed.

Yukina looked at the clock. "Guys, it's midnight, shouldn't we be going to bed? Some of you have school tomorrow." She said, looking directly at Kuwabura.

"Yeah, you're probably right. Let's go, guys." He said.

"Wait," said Kurama. "There are only three bedrooms and one of them is my mother's, which we can't sleep in."

"I call a bed!" Shouted Yusuke. "I am so not sleeping on the floor!"

"We get the guest bedroom, it has a bigger TV!" Shouted Keiko excitedly. She ran up the stairs followed by all the other girls except for Boton, who remained asleep, and Krystal who was leaning against the wall near the stairs. She walked over to the sleeping ferry girl and gently woke her up.

Kurama sighed and said "Alright guys, we'll sleep in my room."

All of them headed upstairs. Hiei was the last one to leave the living room. As he walked up, he noticed the cat was following him again. He reached the landing and turned right as Yukina, Boton, Keiko, Krystal, Luna and Maia turned left. He entered Kurama's room and shut the door behind him. Yuske and Kuwabura were fighting over the bed.

"Shut up you guys, there's another pullout bed in the closet." Kurama shouted over Yuske and Kuwabura. He pulled it out and quickly made it.

Yusuke walked out of the room claiming he had to go brush his teeth leaving Kuwabura, Kurama, and Hiei alone.

"Kurama, where is your friend?" Hiei asked.

"Damian? Oh, I don't know he disappeared as soon as the fight was over. That was one hell of a finish, Hiei." Kurama said.

"Yeah! Hiei got beat by a girl!" Kuwabura shouted with glee.

"Shut up baka or I will personally make sure you can never speak again." Hiei gave his death glare at Kuwabura, the only person stupid enough to be unaffected by it. "I doubt anyone could do any better." He said, rubbing his left arm even though the pain had long since ceased. "That girl's a bitch."

"She saved your ass, Hiei. She stayed back and fought the guards to cover our escape." Kurama replied.

Yusuke burst into the room, looking excited.

"Come on guys! Follow me! You'll never guess what the girls are doing!" He shouted. Kurama looked horrified but Kuwabura jumped up excitedly.

"Ooooo! Yukina too?" He asked. A split second later, his face collided with a fist. "Ow! I'm sorry, it's not my fault your sister's hot! God, you could have broken my nose!" He said, rubbing the spot where Hiei had punched him.

The guys followed Yusuke down the hall, Hiei bringing up the rear with his arms crossed impatiently across his chest. Yusuke got to the door that led to the girls' bedroom and pressed his finger to his lips.

Kurama's house was old, and the crack between the door and the wall was worn down enough that the four of them could see inside if they tried. They pressed against the door and looked into the room.

"What's the big deal, Yusuke? They're just painting their nails and doing their hair and stuff." Kurama whispered.

"Yeah but look what they're wearing." Yusuke said.

"Pajamas?" Asked Kurama.

"No, look what Keiko's wearing."

"A towel?"

"Exactly."

Kurama rolled his eyes while Yusuke drooled over his girlfriend and was about to leave when Maia spoke.

Bye byez...............
