I am so sorry!!! I was going to update earlier but I had school and then I had softball and tons of homework and finally to finish of the last week I got a virus and the school took away my laptop to clean it. EVIL PEOPLE WHO MAKE VIRUSES SHOULD DIE!! Enough excuses out of the 2 people who reviewed the last chapter (Thank you EyeoftheTiger,KissoftheDragon and my anonymous review) one person disliked having the HieixRain pairing and that person didn't hate it, just disliked it so I'm not sure yet. I still need opinions. Sorry again for the delay!

Disclaimer: Nope my lotto ticket didn't win (I've been forgetting to do these)

What's going on? I tried to open my eyes and to my surprise, I was able to. I saw Rain, her hand on my cheek, her eyes closed, and her face showed extreme concentration. I realized that I felt just as good as I did before our fight and sat up. Rain opened her eyes and smiled before she passed out. I caught her before she hit the ground and stared at her in confusion.

Why did she help me?

Chapter 4 Painful Past

Hiei sat on the windowsill of an opened window at Genkai's, looking out at the night sky. He turned and looked at the hanyou he fought earlier that day; she was a lot stronger than she looked. He returned to looking out the window annoyed that she had used him as practice for her healing technique.

/ Flashback/

Everyone walked into Genkai's, Yusuke carrying his unconscious cousin. They placed her in an empty room and sat down around her.

"Umm...guys I'm confused," Kuwabara started.

"Well isn't that new?" Yusuke asked sarcastically. Kuwabara ignored him and kept talking.

"If Rain beat the shrimp how come she's the one unconscious and beat up and Hiei's fine?" Everyone turned to Genkai and Koenma since they knew Rain the best and waited for an answer.

"Well Rain has some healing powers but she is inexperienced and isn't very good with them so she takes every chance she gets to practice with them," Genkai answered, "She healed Hiei and used all her energy which is why she is unconscious right now and Hiei isn't."

/ End Flashback/ .:HIEI'S POV:.

I sat looking at the stars from the windowsill. Everyone else had left awhile ago to go to bed. I decided to stay here in Rain's room and wait until she wakes up so I can make sure never 'practices' healing on me again. I turned to look at her when I heard a soft whimper. She was having a nightmare, that's nice. I didn't really care and switched my gaze back out the window until I heard her whimper again. What was she dreaming about?

Getting curious I walked over to where she laid sleeping and sat down next to her. I pulled the bandana away from my jagan and went into her dream.

I was in a forest. There were trees everywhere so I jumped from tree to tree until I saw a small girl running, her long black hair flowing behind her and her silver bangs matching her eyes. She had two black tipped silver wolf ears and a tail to match. It was Rain as a chibi. She was running with a small wolf cub next to her. I followed them to a small stream where they stopped and the chibi Rain jumped up and down in joy.

"Yeah! I won! I beat you Amaya!" She said in her small voice. The wolf cub seemed to growl in response and the chibi laughed.

"Don't be sore loser I won fair and square." She said before a bigger wolf came out from the trees and ran over to Rain and 'talked' to her. I couldn't understand what they were saying but I noticed that the more the wolf 'said' the sadder and more scared Rain looked. When the wolf finished what it was saying Rain was crying and she took off running. Curious, I followed her as she ran to a small house in the middle of the forest. The house was all on its own with nobody any where close by. I saw her stop and drop to her knees staring at something. I followed where she was looking. There on the laying on the ground, covered in blood, obviously dead, was a woman who looked just like a bigger version of Rain.

Her mom, I thought, who's that though? I noticed a tall man with short brown hair sitting next to the dead woman, crying.

"Mommy. . ." I heard Rain whisper. I turned back to her and saw tears streaming down her face. She stood up slowly and ran over to her mom. "D-daddy w-what happened?" she asked. The man, her dad I just learned, turned and looked at her. His face was no longer sad but angry, furious even. He stood up and punched the chibi in the stomach causing her to fall over in pain.

"It's your fault she's dead. You bitch, waste of my blood," He spat as he kicked her clear across the small clearing the house was in.

"D-Daddy I, I didn't-"

"Filthy half-breed, it's all your fault!" I watched the beating continue until the young Rain was too beat up to move, too tired to even cry out in pain when she was kicked. Her father then pulled out a knife and I stared in disgust as he carved different word into her skin, 'BITCH' was most noticeable and was written in huge letters across her left cheek. When he was done the chibi was already unconscious from blood loss.

I got extremely angry, how could he do that to a defenseless chibi? Then I remembered that the defenseless chibi beats me in the future.

My attention was drawn back to the abusive father as he picked up his daughter by her long hair and dragged her into the house. I followed them and saw him throw her into her room and I heard cracks as her limp body hit the wall. I sat outside her window, looking into her room, I watched as the girl slowly managed to open her eyes and even more slowly drag herself into her bed.I was shocked at how strong she was even as a chibi. She was still conscious after that beating and I realized that she hadn't screamed once throughout the entire thing. I watched her as she stared up at the ceiling, silent tears pouring out of her eyes and down her bleeding cheeks.

"Mommy, why?" she whispered softly to herself. I heard the door creak open and I moved my gaze over there and saw her 'dad' holding a rope as if it were a whip. I turned back to Rain and saw her eyes wide with pain and fear. Everything started fading out and turning black.

.:NORMAL POV:.

Rain's eyes started to flicker open and she wiped her tear stained face off. She had that nightmare again, actually it wasn't a nightmare it was memories of her past. The first thing she noticed when she was completely awake was Hiei standing over her with his bandana off, his jagan eye wide open.

"HIEI YOU BAKA!!" She screamed, "WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO GO INTO MY DREAMS!"

Covering his jagan he turned to Rain, pity flickered in his eyes for a second and unfortunately Rain saw it.

"DON'T EVER GO INTO MY DREAMS AND DON'T EVER LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT! I DON'T NEED YOURS OR ANYONE ELSE'S PITY, GOT IT?!"

"Hn," Hiei said before walking out of the room.

"URGH!" Rain sighed before falling backwards onto her bed.

Rains shouting had woken everyone else up and soon everyone, except Koenma who had left last night, was sitting down eating breakfast.

"So Hiei," Kurama said curious about Rain's outburst, "What got Rain upset this morning?"

"She had a nightmare." He said simply before getting up and going outside, "I'm going to train."

"So Kurama, what do you think happened?" Yusuke asked. Kuwabara looked up from his breakfast to hear the answer.

"Guessing from Rain's shouting, Hiei went into her dream," Kurama said simply.

"Yeah but what about the 'Don't look at me like that, I don't need yours or anyone else pity' part?" Kuwabara asked.

"I think Genkai knows, don't you Genkai?" Kurama said looking at the aged fighter.

Genkai didn't answer and she kept eating.

"What do you know old hag?" Yusuke asked getting annoyed.

"Everything, but Rain doesn't like me blabbing about her past when she's not around," Genkai said.

"But-"

"No," she said in a tone that meant that the discussion was over. Everyone finished their breakfast in silence until Rain walked in.

Still in her black silk pajamas, Rain walked sleepily over to the table, grabbed a piece of toast and sat down while slowly taking a bite. Kuwabara stared at her while she ate. By the time she finished her second piece of toast and woke up completely she noticed Kuwabara's staring.

"What do I have something on my face?!" Rain demanded angrily.

"Yeah, it looks like a scar or something on your cheek and it says something, but I can't read it. What's it say?" Kuwabara asked. Everyone noticed Rain's face loose all its color and she ran into her room.

"What, did I say something wrong?" Kuwabara asked cluelessly.

"Why did she act like that and what did you mean Kuwabara? There was nothing on her face." Kurama said confused.

"You mean you guys didn't see it?" Kuwabara said startled.

"Nope, I think Grandma has some explaining to do to us," Yusuke said turning his attention to Genkai who just sat there drinking her tea calmly like nothing happened.

Rain came back into the room, this time dressed in a black shirt that said, 'Chaos, Pandemonium, and Massive Destruction; My work here is done' black baggy pants and bandages wrapped like Hiei's around both arms, but only going to her elbows. She also had a black bandana hiding her ears and a silver sash tied around her waist, over her tail, hiding it from view as well.

"There's nothing on my face Kuwabara," She said, her face now its original color.

"Well there was," He said stubbornly.

"No there wasn't," Rain's hand were clenched into fists.

"There was you must have covered it," Kuwabara insisted.

"Nag, nag, nag, you sound like Genkai," Rain said turning and starting to walk out the door.

"Wait. . . isn't it 'you sound like my mom'?" Kuwabara asked confused.

Rain's stopped walking and her fists tightened, "I wouldn't know if my mom nagged; now I suggest you boys start packing."

"What are you talking about Rain?" Yusuke asked.

"Were taking a red-eye flight to England tonight to buy our school stuff tomorrow and catch the train to Hogwarts the next day." Rain said quickly before turning around and going outside.

Later that day

Genkai lead the way as everyone filed into the plane.

"Coach! Koenma's the ruler of Reikai and he can't afford to send us to England first class?!" Yusuke shouted upset.

"Oh shut up and sit down Dimwit," Genkai said. Everyone took their seats in the cheap crowded plane.

"You would think that if people are going to travel this far they would make a plane that gave them a bit of room!" Kuwabara shouted trying to fit in his seat. The seats were squished three on the edges of the plane and four in the middle. Hiei, Kurama, and Rain sat in one row; Genkai, Yusuke, and Kuwabara behind them.

"Oh shut up Kuwabaka," Rain said while sitting down. She was still in a bad mood from that morning.

"How is this piece of ningen metal supposed to fly?" Hiei asked annoyed that he was forced to travel by plane and slightly nervous.

"Is the mighty Hiei scared of the ningen airplane?" Yusuke said.

"No, I'm only skeptical that a piece of metal is capable of flying," Hiei answered turning away. Rain snorted.

"Sure you are."

"Hn," Hiei said before closing his eyes.

The plane started to rumble as they got ready for take-off. Hiei's eyes shot open but fortunately Yusuke and Kuwabara didn't notice. The plane eventually got in the air and hours later touched down in England.

"I'm never traveling by ningen airplanes again," Hiei muttered.

"Wasn't that flight fun Hiei?" Rain said trying to annoy the fire demon. Hiei just glared at her.

"Okay now that that is over where do we go know Grandma?" Yusuke asked stretching.

"To get your school supplies, where else?" Genkai answered walking out of the airport.

"Yes but where do we get these types of supplies Genkai?" Kurama asked looking over the school supply list quickly.

"You'll find out soon, but for now follow me," The old woman walked off quickly and the others stayed behind her glancing around at their new surroundings. Genakai turned a corner and stopped. Everyone looked up at the building she stopped in front of.

"The Leaky Cauldron?" Rain asked looking at the dumpy place in confusion. This is not what she expected when Koenma told her about wizards.

"Yes this is the place. Now everyone follow me and try not to make a scene about anything you see in there, your undercover remember?" Genkai said before opening the door and leading them into a room filled with wizards and weird creatures.

"What are those things?" Kuwabara asked Genkai after the people had looked away from them.

"Magical creatures, similar to demons but not as powerful." Genkai answered as she walked through the crowded pub, heading for a door leading outside. The tantei followed her while trying to see everything in the small pub, well, Hiei just ignored everything.

When they got out they were surprised to see a plain brick wall.

"Um. . .do you guys feel that too?" Kuwabara asked looking at the wall.

"Yes, that wall, its. . . odd. What's that aura, Genkai?" Kurama asked running his hand along the wall.

"It's magic," Genkai said simply and everyone watched disbelievingly as she tapped a couple bricks with her finger and the wall started rearranging itself. When it was done it was a archway leading into a strange alley filled with odd people and shops.

"Welcome to Diagon Alley," Genkai said boredly.
