How'd you get that?!" I exclaimed trying to get it away from her. I chased her all over the place trying to get it back. Botan passed the picture to Rikku, who looked at it and giggled. "Maybe we should show this to everyone?" Botan asked. "No!" I exclaimed still trying to get the picture back. They were both taller and older than me so my struggles where useless. "Maybe we should show this to Yusuke?" Rikku asked tossing it back to Botan. Botan missed the picture and it landed on the floor right in front of Yusuke who had just come out to the living room. "What's this?" He asked picking it up and smiling. "Okay go a head have your little laugh," I said. "Why would I do that?" He asked. "Because you where busting up laughing to the answers to the questions," I responded. "True, but I was only laughing because Hiei didn't answer any of the questions," Yusuke answered. "Really?" I asked, blushing. "Of course, what did you think we would actually let him know the answers," Botan whispered as Rikku nodded in agreement. "Thanks," I replied looking at the floor sadly. "What's wrong?" Rikku asked. "I'm glad you all said that but I just hope he has the same feelings for me as I do for him," I explained looking up from the floor. "You need to ask him yourself," Yusuke explained, "If you'll excuse me Hiei wanted all the boys' advice on something." "Sure," I said. As soon as Yusuke went into the living room we put our ears to the door to hear. "What does it feel like to fall in love?" Hiei asked. "It feels like the best moment of your life…Why?" Yuske asked, thinking he already new why. "I…uh…" Hiei stopped. "You can tell us," Kurama said. "Because I get this weird but sort of comfortable feeling inside me whenever I'm near Kiri, but I don't know how to tell her how I feel," Hiei finished. "I know that feeling," Yusuke said. "What do I do?" Hiei asked. "Tell her how you feel and hope that she returns the feelings," Kurama responded. "You could ask her to go on a walk with you," Yusuke suggested. "Thanks, I'll think about that," Hiei said walking towards the door. He went out into the living room only to find me playing my guitar, and Rikku talking with Botan. "Uh...Kiri?" He asked. I looked up at him smiling. "Can I talk to you, please?" Hiei asked. "Sure," I responded. I followed him into the kitchen. "Kiri would you," He stopped. "Would I what?" I asked. "Would you like to take a walk with me tonight to talk and get to know each other better?" Hiei asked. "I'd love to," I replied, smiling. He smiled back and looked relieved. That night we left at eight to go walk in the woods. We started down the hall holding hands as we went. We walked to the cave where we had trained on our first "date". Suddenly we heard a noise outside, Hiei and I froze. "Aw, how cute, the little fire demon has a girlfriend," a voice said. "Leave her out of this, Dianrwe!" Hiei shouted. "I would if she wasn't so attached to you," Dianrwe said. My hand slipped out of his. "Hiei!" I shouted. A different ice Koorime had grabbed me and held an ice blade to my head. Hiei turned around and tried to get me back from them. "If you take one step she dies," the ice Koorime, that was holding me, said. Hiei stopped dead in his tracks. The Koorime women took off with me. Hiei was in a state of shock and didn't know whether to follow us or get help. Judging from the way he turned around and took off, he was going for help. We traveled for a long time until we reached a town full of these ice youkai. "What do you think you're doing with a fire demon?" one of the elders asked. "This girl is a friend of the fire demon and could be very valuable to us," Dianrwe responded. The elder lady put a hand under my chin and looked at my face. "How old are you?" the elder asked. "I don't know. After living with my human family, I just figured out I'm a demon," I said. "How old are you as a human?" She asked. "Ten," I replied. "That would make you…213," the elder replied, "That would make you only a child." "Hinaya, we didn't know, I swear," Dianrwe responded. "Is she a fire demon?" one of the older ice demons asked. "Yes, Risha," Dianrwe answered. "Then do what you like," Risha responded. "Thank you," Dianrwe said bowing. Dianrwe and the ice Koorime that was holding me dragged me over to this really creepy looking house. Once inside they hooked me up to a chain attached to the wall. "You'll get it good from my brother, Yusuke when he finds me and he'll bring Hiei too, you losers!" I said. "You'll be dead before they find you," Dianrwe responded, smiling evilly. "We'll just see about that," I remarked quietly. Actually I was scared of what they where going to do to me.
