Answer to my lovable reviewers, thank you for reviewing my poorly written work. (A.K: You're to modest for your own good.) (Me: OH! SHUT UP!)

Tuathafaerie: Okay, I still can't get over the fact that the writer for Tethered: or a Demon's kiss is dangerous is actually reviewing ME! I really liked that story even though I couldn't review. I'm to busy, I'm sorry. My parents don't like me on the Internet a lot either, so that's another reason. I'll hopefully get time to review your other story, hopefully. And can you tell me what made you think of Soul Caliber, I might be able to use that. Oh and you'll see Lyra and Will, don't worry. And I'm sorry for the long answer, please go on and read my story. Oh, and grammar is SO not my thing!

Rose-Kitsune15: Why did you back away? I don't get it. Well anyway, I LOVE PHILLIP PULLMAN'S BOOKS TOO! AREN'T THEY THE GREATEST? I'm even thinking of writing a fanfic about his books, though I'm still thinkingâ€I wonder what my daemon would look likeâ€I wish they were real! Starts getting teary eyed

Disclaimer: I do not own YYH or anything from Philip Pullman's book. The idea to the story belongs to me and so do the characters you don't see in YYH or the Dark Materials (Philip Pullman's books)

Last time

"No, no. The thing about Hiei." I asked furrowing my brows in thought.

"Oh, that. Hiei comes every 10 years for the Mortal Kombat Tournament. Last time I swear the whole ring was covered in the blood Hiei drew from his opponents. It was so beautiful." Koto said clasping her hands and getting all starry-eyed.

I had no time to sweat-drop at her as I thought over Hiei.

There is quite a lot of stuff Hiei has hidden from us. I telepathically told Alethio.

Told you I didn't like that guy. Alethio said avoiding my eyes.

Oh, I know you felt what I felt, so don't even try it, Alethio. I snapped glaring visibly at Alethio.

"I would love to see you 2 fight but can we hurry? I have to get you signed up, 'member?" Koto said childishly as she ran down the path.

"Coming." I muttered as Alethio and I ran after her.

Chapter 5: Hiei finds out

Hiei POV

I grunted in pain as I was thrown against a tree.

This was so not fair, I thought. How come they always team up against me?

Yes, Ryu and Raven were physical now because I put a spell on them, allowing them to become solid for at least an hour or two.

I dodged out of the way just in time, making Raven miss me and punch the tree, sending it crashing down. He turned his head to look towards me and sent a glare.

The scars that he had on his cheek, forehead, and the backs of his hands were really Jagan eyes, and they were opened, and furious.

I took no mind to his display of anger and sped toward Ryu, who was aiming an arrow at me.

Ryu now had black dragon wings jutting out from his shoulder blades. Black wolf ears with silver tips were standing strait up neatly on his head and a silver wolf tail with a black tip was wound around his waist.

"Raven's heart; Pierced." He shouted as he let loose the arrow. As soon as that one left the bow 4 more soon followed.

I dodged all of them and brought my fist back to punch him, but Ryu blocked with his arm.

My eyes narrowed as he tried punching me, but I also blocked with my arm. We stayed there for a second before I sensed Raven probing my mind to make me temporarily disabled.

But thankfully Alethia was still on my side, and she sent a sphere of silver fire toward Raven from her mouth. She was a silver fox with black tips on her tail and ears.

"Thank god, you're still on my side, Alethia." I muttered hanging my head with eyes closed.

That was a big mistake, as I soon found out, as it gave Ryu the time to jump back a couple of feet. Before I had time to react he had already blown a gust of wind at me with his steel-like wings.

"Cheap shot." I muttered glaring as I stood my ground a few feet away from my original spot.

"You weren't paying attention." Ryu said smirking at me.

Now I'm ticked off, I thought as a smile came to my lips, making Ryu nervous.

"So ya wanna play? LET'S PLAY!" I shouted as I sped away.

"Hiei. We're training, not playing games." Ryu muttered as he looked around for me.

"Fighting will always be a game for me." I said smiling from behind.

Ryu quickly turned around and punched me; well actually it was my after-image.

"Hell." I muttered as a crimson bow and a silver arrow appeared in my hands. "Arrow!" I let the arrow go, heading strait for Ryu.

I quickly turned around and shot another arrow, this one heading strait for Raven.

Unfortunately both of them blocked it, but they didn't get out of the attack without a scratch.

"Damn you." Raven and Ryu muttered, as they staggered up.

While they were trying to get up, I sent a telepathic message to Alethia saying I could take care of 'em.

She immediately backed off and started watching the fight with mild curiosity, using this time to groom herself.

They both stood up, and nodded at each other with a small smirk.

What the hell are they planning?

I had no time to ponder as Raven sent a sphere of black fire towards me. I barely dodged it, then Ryu came up behind me and slashed me with his wings.

I grunted in pain, as the attack knocked me into the sphere of black fire. Smoke covered the spot where I was standing, blocking me from view.

"Now, that wasn't very nice." I said cheerfully as the smoke blew away. My hands were clasped behind my back and I was jumping from foot to foot. Grinning an innocent grin the whole time. I was unscathed.

I heard Ryu and Raven gasp and I opened my once closed eyes. While I was giving away a cheerful façade, my eyes showed seriousness, which both of my counter-parts saw.

"Now for some really fun." I said as I flicked my wrists. 4 Kunai's in each hand appeared.

"Oh, crap." Ryu and Raven muttered.

"Cobra Kunai's!" I shouted as threw the Kunai's toward Ryu and Raven. They had an almost invisible thread of my energy tied to them, which in turn were tied to my fingers, so I could control which way they moved.

I said almost invisible because when the sunlight hit the silver thread it would show. Thank goodness I didn't use red energy, everyone can see that.

Yep, along with being a Darkness Mage I also have all the powers a Thread Mage has. You can get the powers my practicing them, and once know how to use every kind of power of every type of Mage you advanced up to a Sage. Not many Mages have been able to get that far, but I hope I'll be a Sage soon.

The Kunai's, with small flicks of my wrists and fingers, tried striking my counter-parts like Cobras. First going up into the air and then striking down with incredible force.

Unfortunately they dodged all my blows, but that didn't affect me.

I flicked my wrist back, so all my Kunai's came back in-between my fingers.

"Now you can't say this isn't fun." I said cheerfully, smiling at both of them.

"We can." Raven muttered.

"And we will." Ryu said, fists clenched by his side.

"THIS IS NOT FUN!" They both shouted as Raven created a shock wave, with his Jagan eye, to knock me off balance.

"Wha!" I shouted as I landed on my rear.

Instantly 1 dagger was behind my neck and the tip of Ryu's tail was against the front side of my neck. And let me tell you, Ryu has some Steel Mage blood in him making his wolf tail as hard as, well, steel.

"So...surrender?" Raven asked coolly from behind me.

Ryu just looked at me with emotionless eyes.

"Absolutely," I said nodding, "NOT!" I shouted narrowing my eyes. In that same instant I flicked both my wrists, all 8 Kunai's appearing, and flicked my fingers behind me and in front of me. The Kunai's instantly rose up and striked the 2, knocking them into opposite trees.

Before they could even open there once closed eyes, 1 kunai tip was against both of their necks.

"Give up." I asked softly, but still audible.

Raven and Ryu took a short second searching for a chance of escape, but found none, as my other kunai's were still in the air, swaying, like a cobra waiting to strike.

"We surrender." They both muttered.

I let a small smile creep up to my lips as I flicked my wrist back, kunai's disappearing into thin air.

"Evil." Ryu muttered as he and Raven stalked up to me.

"Whatever." I muttered.

My gaze shifted to the trees, as I tried to contain the longing that tried to show in my eyes.

Ryu and Raven must of seen this, and said they were going inside to play video games and said I could do whatever I want.

"Okay. Well, see ya." I muttered, trying to contain my surprise.

Usually they aren't this...this...I can't remember the word...Oh! I know! Understanding!

Their eyes looked a bit different as they nodded toward Alethia, but I took no mind as I entered the forest.

"Nice battle, Hiei." Alethia said as she jumped to my shoulder and turned into a black Cobra with silver shining eyes.

"Thanks." I muttered, as I allowed her to continue.

She's trying to get something from me, I thought as my brows furrowed.

What does she want?

"I hate you." I heard Alethia mutter knowing I knew she wanted something from me. "Anyway, Genkai mentioned something to me." She hinted.

"And...what does that have to do with me?" I asked.

"Well...Genkai said she found someone who really has potential with a sword. It's a mage-"Alethia started.

I don't really like where this is going, I thought as I tuned out. No way, no how, no-Did...Did she just say Boton!

"Who?" I asked.

I must be hearing things, Boton's not a mage...is she?

I swear I saw Alethia smirking.

"Boton of course, did you not know she was a mage. And guess what her daemon, as a mongoose sorta thing, is a gold-red in color."

Now I know she was smirking.

I felt blood rush to my cheeks, as I stopped, rooted to the spot.

I looked forward with widened eyes.

A l-light mage! A LIGHT MAGE! I-I think I'm gonna, gonna, I don't even know.

I fell down and landed on my rear with my mouth hanging open.

"I WAS AROUND A STINKIN' SLUT!!!!" I shouted to myself.

"Not all light mages are sluts you know. I meet her daemon, and he didn't act all perverted or anything.

"You sure, because most of them are sluts." I asked glaring at Alethia.

"Only the 2 you met were sluts, they're usually innocent. The only reason light mages act the way they do is because they see their first Dark Mage. All Light Mages go through it, but only a few are real sluts. Have you ever seen Boton act like a slut?" Alethia asked.

"Well...no." I admitted.

"Do you think she'd act like a slut?" She asked.

"...Possibly." I said nervously.

Alethia might get a bit mad because of that comment.

"Hiei." Alethia sighed. "She's not going to act like a slut. I saw her at Genkai's temple when she found out you were a Darkness Mage. She felt a bit faint at first and then her body temperature started rising, and she must of felt all of these 'stupid' sensations as you call them. Then when she finally snapped out of her reverie of you and her, she started blushing really, really, bad." Alethia said, looking at me intently.

As Alethia said this, my blush got darker and darker, and I think I started to feel some of the same sensations she felt when Boton thought of...me.

"Y-You mean to tell me she... has a...crush...on me." I said pointing to myself.

Alethia nodded her head and my face got even redder.

Well she is okay, and I know she really can't be all that cheerful, it has to be a mask. And...she is pretty...of for the love of...she's not pretty...she's hot, beautiful, even.

My eyes got a far-way look as I thought of the only light mage that I had ever met who didn't act like a slut.

"Hiei." I heard, but didn't respond to, to busy thinking of the ferry-girl.

"Hiei!" The same voice say louder.

Still no answer, what!? I was to busy thinking of the blue-haired beauty.

"Earth to Lover-boy!" Alethia shouted in my ear.

"AHH!" I shouted jumping back a bit. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR!"

"I don't want un-pure thoughts of you and Boton in my head." Alethia growled at me, "Sometimes I hate me and you being connected."

"Me? Having un-pure thoughts, why I never. Why would I have thoughts like that?" I asked innocently.

"I wouldn't put it past you." Alethia muttered.

"Now that wasn't very nice." I pouted.

"I'm just as mean as you are." Alethia shot back.

"True." I said nodding.

"Wait a minute. Did you not say something about her having potential in wielding a sword?" I asked, still on the ground, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh, yeah. Genkai said she has a lot of potential, and she'd benefit A LOT from you training her."

"I'll think 'bout it." I said getting up.

I started walking forward.

"Where are we going?" Alethia asked after a while of walking.

I barely heard her, as I was thinking about Genkai's proposition.

"Wha?" I asked slipping out of thought.

"I asked where are we going?"

"You should know you. You are a mind reader. We're going to Teken." I said, smirking.

"I was afraid of that." I heard Alethia mutter, but took no notice.

She just doesn't want me to go because I'll just cause turmoil, why else.

...Well...I think that's the reason, I thought as I looked down at Alethia.

I snapped my attention away from my daemon once the portal came into view.

"I hope Raven and Ryu won't destroy the dojo." I muttered as I walked into the black-silver portal, leading me strait toward my possibly soon-to-be pupil.

To be continued
