Thank you for all the reviews. Everyone has given me so many new ideas. I wasn't supposed to work on my fanfic at all because I have three projects to do, but I have SO many ideas. THANK YOU, REVIEWERS! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, ARIGATO! Oh yeah! I'd tell you whether or not Hiei will confess now or later, but then that would kind of make some people not want to read. I promise he does confess in this story, but I'm not telling when. ^_^ I got about the same amount for and against the confession.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own YYH! I do, however own the characters you've never heard of. Kutsu, Kit, and the other random people.

Kutsu and Hiei woke up before dawn. They were not supposed to meet at Kurama's house until ten. They would have met earlier, but Yusuke and Kuwabara did not want to wake up that early and Kurama's mother would be leaving at eight.

'Well, what do we do until ten?'

'Hn. What do you think?'

'Kick back.'

'I hope that was a joke.'

In a flash, Kutsu and Hiei had their swords out. They had both thrown off their cloaks. They had both swung at the exact same time. Hiei and Kutsu swung again, but the result was the same. They continued to match each other swing for swing. Kutsu jumped backwards and then ran at Hiei. She was closing in for a strike.



What the hell? If she does this, we'll both lose our swords.

Kutsu and Hiei's swords clashed and the force sent the swords flying from their hands. Kutsu did not stop; she started throwing punches at Hiei. Hiei was slower to block the punch. As a result Kutsu's fist flew by his face. The attack grazed his cheek. Hiei put his hand to his face, there was a little blood on his fingers. Kutsu had stopped attacking and had walked over to her sword; she picked it up and sheathed it. Hiei did the same.

'Sorry.'

'For what?'

'The scratch.'

'Hn. You should not apologize to your enemy.'

Kutsu sat down against a tree.

'You should work on your fist work, Hiei.'

'Hn.'

'I had to do that. You're much better than me with the katana, but I'm better with punching.'

Hiei sat down across from Kutsu. They sat in silence for a few minutes.

'You should have won, Hiei.'

'What do you mean?'

'You were holding back, when you were using your sword.'

'I wasn't trying to kill you.'

'I can't believe the all-powerful Hiei felt pity for an enemy.'

Hiei looked the other way. The sun had risen and it was about an hour until they were supposed to meet at Kurama's.

'Since we have nothing better to do, let's start walking to Kurama's.'

'Hn.'

Kutsu and Hiei stood up. Hiei wasn't very fond of walking. It took twenty minutes to walk. It would have taken them two minutes to run. What's worse was Kutsu made them take the sidewalks, instead of cutting through the forests. That added on another ten minutes.

'Why are you always in such a rush?'

'Hn. Why do you want to go slow?'

Neither could answer the others question.

'How did you pay for my sword and cloak?'

'I'm well known in Makai, so they feared me. I promised that I wouldn't kill them.'

Kutsu wished he was joking. Kutsu was wearing the black cloak. Under it her katana was hidden. Hiei, as usual, was wearing his cloak. People looked at them funny.

'I guess people don't wear cloaks much these days,' Kutsu mumbled under her breath. Out loud she said, 'I guess I owe you a favor now.'

'I'll hold it until later.'

'I just know you won't let me forget this.'

They still had made it to Kurama's house thirty minutes before ten. They walked to the door and knocked. They had been expecting Kurama to answer, but instead it was Kit.

'I'm glad I wasn't the only one that was early.'

They walked in and saw Kurama sitting on the couch. Kit sat down next to him. Hiei stood in a corner and Kutsu sat on the edge of the window.

'Where exactly do you live, Kit?'

'No where in particular. I prefer living outside, so I normally sleep in the woods close to here. By the way, the fight between you and Hiei was amazing.'

'You saw that?'

'I said the forest near here. The one you and Hiei slept in last night. I saw the whole fight.'

Kutsu blushed. I hope she didn't hear what I said.

She looked up. Everyone was looking at her with curious expressions on their faces. Hiei started blushing too.

[I guess you read my thoughts.]

[I didn't mean to. I seems you drop your mental defenses whenever you're embarrassed. We'll have to work on that.]

[Yes. The one time I wouldn't want people reading my mind is when I'm embarrassed.]

[There were still your basic defenses. Lower class demons wouldn't be able to read your mind, but it's the stronger ones you have to worry about.]

Hiei and Kutsu's conversation was interrupted by another knock on the door.

'I'll get it this time, Kit. I believe its Yusuke, Botan and Kuwabara.'

Kurama went to the door and came back a few seconds later with Yusuke, Kuwabara and Botan following. The first thing Kuwabara did was look at Kit.

'Who's your friend, Kurama?'

Kuwabara didn't recognize Kit without her ears and tail. Her hair was also black and her eyes were gray. (A/N: I realized, I forgot to say what her human form looked like.)

'It's me, Kuwabara.'

'Kit?'

'Yes.'

Kuwabara looked away from Kit and continued to look around the room.

'AH!'

Kuwabara fell backwards.

'What is it?' Yusuke looked down at his slow friend.

'For a second I thought there were two Hiei's here.'

'Kutsu, you look like you and Hiei could be twins.'

Kutsu looked at Yusuke.

'Speaking of siblings, Yukina's at the door. And guess who's with her Yusuke.'

As soon as Kutsu said this there was another knock on the door. Kurama went to the door again. Kuwabara stood in the middle of the floor with a confused look.

'Siblings? What she mean by that?'

Kuwabara's thoughts were interrupted by a loud voice.

'Yusuke!'

Keiko stormed into the room with Yukina and Kurama following behind.

'K..Keiko.'

'You said you would start telling me about these kinds of things. It was lucky that I ran into Yukina.'

'Yeah, lucky.' Yusuke's face was downcast. He turned and looked at Kurama. 'Why are we here again?'

'We are here to discuss the plan of action against Warui.'

'Oh yeah, him.'

Botan pulled out her oar and hit Yusuke on the head.

'YOU FORGOT! He held me captive for a month and a half and you don't remember!'

'Why is everyone yelling at me?'

Once everyone was partially silenced, Kurama looked to Hiei.

'Before we discuss Warui, can we know who injured you?'

Hiei held his hand to his face.

'No, not there. I noticed you wincing yesterday and both Kit and I smelled blood. What happened?'

'I was attacked.'

'By who?'

'A dog demon.'

'What exactly happened?'

'I was coming back to ningenkai, when a dog demon, calling himself Toby, attacked me. He said that both of the Forbidden Children have to die. I assume he works with Warui.'

'Yes, that would be a logical conclusion.'

[Why didn't you tell me Hiei?]

Hiei glanced at Kutsu. She had a sad expression on her face.

'What are we going to do from here?'

Kutsu stood up. The sad look erased from her face.

'I have an idea. Hiei and I can go to Makai and search down this dog demon. We can see if he has any information on Warui's location.'

'Why can't we come?'

'Because, Yusuke, you would slow Hiei and I down. We'll send word, if we find anything. We'll leave tomorrow. Now I must leave.'

Kutsu left the room and headed out of the house. Kurama was the first one to speak.

'I suppose it's the best plan we have now.'

'Well, this meeting thing didn't take long. Now I can spend the rest of the weekend doing a little R and R.'

'Yusuke we have a book report to do.'

'Oh yeah.'

Everyone left to the sound of Keiko yelling at Yusuke. The only people still there were Hiei and Kurama. Kurama walked over to where Kutsu was sitting. He reached down and picked something up.

'Interesting. I didn't think that half Koorimes could produce these.'

He held out his hand in front of Hiei. In it was a small orb with a bluish tint.

'Hn.'

'Here Hiei, I think you should hold on to it.'

Kurama dropped the tear gem in Hiei's hand. Hiei looked at it for a second and then vanished. Hiei went to the tree next to Kurama's house to think.

Damn girl. Why was she crying? And why is it that I feel guilty? It's not like it was my fault she was crying. She confuses me. I hate these stupid emotions.

Kurama walked to his window and opened it.

'Hiei.'

Hiei's head darted around. He hadn't felt Kurama's presence.

'What is it, Kurama?' Hiei growled under his breath.

Kurama sat on the edge of the window.

'You should apologize.'

'For what?'

'Come now, Hiei, even I could see the guilt on your face. You know exactly what you did wrong.'

'I don't have a damn clue as to what I did wrong.'

Kurama sighed. 'You promised Kutsu you would help her defeat Warui.'

Hiei's face reddened slightly. He didn't know anyone had heard him and Kutsu.

'So?'

'You got attacked by one of Warui's men and you didn't tell her. She feels slightly betrayed.'

'Why should I care?'

'Hiei, hiding your feelings only makes things more confusing.'

'Hn.'

Hiei jumped out of the tree and ran down the road.

'Damn, kitsune!'

Hiei ran towards the woods. He found Kutsu in the middle of the forest. She had a backpack next to her. She had earphones on her ears and her eyes were closed. Hiei walked over to her.

'I know your here, Hiei.'

Kutsu turned off her CD player. Hiei looked at her backpack.

'I went to my house and got some stuff.'

'Were you seen by the humans?'

'Yes, but I erased their memories.'

'Good.'

'Can we do some more training in Makai?'

'Hn. If you want.'

'You said you would help me train.'

'Hn.'

Kutsu noticed something clutched in Hiei's hand.

'What's that?'

'You must have been crying. It's a tear gem.'

'Oh. I didn't know my tears did that.'

'Why were you crying?'

'Why do you care?'

'Just tell me.'

'You didn't tell me. We could have already left and have killed that dog by now.'

Hiei mumbled something under his breath.

'What?'

'...sorry...'

'Wow! You apologized. Have you hit your head lately?'

Hiei glared at Kutsu. 'No.'

'Can I see the wound?'

Hiei pulled off his cloak and then the light blue shirt he was wearing. On his back was a deep gash. It hadn't completely closed.

'I'll heal you.'

'How?'

'Over the last week, I've been learning some Koorime tricks from Yukina.'

'Oh.'

Kutsu placed her hands on Hiei's back. A blue light came out of her hands. When she pulled them away, there was nothing left on Hiei's back, but a scar.

'Now you won't slow me down in Makai.'

What the hell? That sounds like something I'd say.

'You're fun to confuse. I was using humor.'

Kutsu reached from the back and wrapped her arms around Hiei. He didn't know what to do, so he just sat there. Kutsu finally released him. She jumped up into the closest tree. Hiei jumped up too. They sat and watched the sun set.

'Hiei?'

'What?'

'You weren't holding back, were you? It was because of your injury.'

'Yes.'

Kutsu leaned against Hiei.

[You should start telling me things.]

[Hn.]

[I'm just going to take that as an okay.]

I've already thought of a sequel to this. Just because I want to write about what happens after the whole Warui thing. I'm not sure if I should or not. I guess I'll just decide when I'm through with this story. There will be a confession in this story. I give you my word.
