Disclaimer: I do not own YYH. You know that, I know that, Japan knows that. So why do I even bother putting a disclaimer?

Hiei just kept running. The only sounds he heard was the occasional rustle of leaves as he rushed past them and beat of his own black heart. It wasn't exactly comforting, but better than the little nagging voice inside his head.

He still had that deep, sad feeling inside of him. Why though? he thought to himself. This wasn't normal, not for him. What is going on with me?

Hiei felt the hairs on the back of his neck prick up. He stood still.

"You can come down," said a male voice, similar to his own.

In seconds, Hiei jumped down and landed gracefully onto the ground. He was staring into the crimson eyes of a tall black haired man.

"What do you want?" he said coldly.

"You will find out. What do you think I interrupted you for? To play dress-up?" said the man.

The corners of Hiei's mouth twitched. He was amused by the man's sarcasm.

"Gee, I don't know. I was hoping that you would get to your point and leave. Or I can show the way out if you prefer," said Hiei as he looked down at his katana.

"There's no need for violence. Not yet," said the man.

"Who are you? If you were a normal person, you would have been begging for mercy already," said Hiei.

"Who said I was normal? Hiei, you must learn that not everyone has the urge to bow down before you with your threats," said the man.

"How do you know my name?" said Hiei.

"You will find out, Hiei," said the man, putting emphasis on 'Hiei'.

"If you don't speak up, you might just find that I can and will resort to violence," said Hiei.

"Tut-tut. Hiei, you must learn patience. Your past must not affect your present and future," said the man.

"Wait a minute, how do you know this stuff?" said Hiei.

"As I said twice before, you will find out. You've spent all this time taking care of Yukina. Who took care of you?"

"How do you know about Yukina? If you hurt her, I will hunt you down and give you the most savage beating of your life," said Hiei angrily.

"Don't worry, that's not my objective," said the man.

"Then what is your objective?" asked Hiei.

"Alright, Hiei. I will tell you," said the man.

They paused for a long moment.

"Well?" said Hiei.

"Hiei" said the man as he paused. "Hiei, I am your father"

Yeah, it's kind of stoopid. But guess what? I don't care. Just please R&R.
