Chapter 1
Shamel.
"Hiei!" Botan called. "Hiei!"
"What is it onna?" Hiei said as he woke up from his sleep, "Why do you keep popping up when I sleep and have a great time. Tell me."
"Oh Hiei, I did not know you felt that way." Botan said.
Hiei snorted. "Tell me why you are here."
"Oh that! Koenma tells me that you have to be in the office right now!" Botan said.
"What if I don't go?" Hiei said.
"Um, well, you have to go!" Botan said forcefully. Hiei looked at her like she was a ninny.
"Hiei!" someone shouted from behind.
"Oh great." Hiei muttered.
"Hiei!" Kurama shouted as he ran to the tree Hiei was in. "Koenma called you I mean- us, to go there in the Spirit World!"
Hiei jumped down the tree, his hands crossed. "I'm coming." he said. Botan ran to Kurama and hugged his arm.
"I knew you could tell him to come!" Botan cheered. Hiei snorted again and disappeared.
"No! He left!" Botan wailed.
"Nah, don't worry about him. I'm sure he's headed to the Spirit World." Kurama assured as Botan took out her oar.
"Ok then Kurama! Meet you there with Yusuke and Kuwabara!!!" she called as she disappeared form sight.

"What do you have for us toddler?" Hiei said angrily. He could not help it, he had this very peaceful and wonderful sleep only to be awaken to reality that he can never sleep peacefully.
"Uh, Hiei, did you sleep?" Koenma asked. Hiei snorted again and sat down on a nearby couch.
"Just get over with it." he said as he placed both arms in the chair and closed his eyes.
"Uh, ok, what's up with the shrimp?" Kuwabara asked. Yusuke shrugged his shoulders.

Then the toddler blabbed on.
"You have to protect a young man named Tiho." he said.
"Hn, Tiho? What kind of a name is that?" I asked sarcastically, with my eyes still closed. I felt Kurama sit beside me. Opening my left eye, I looked at him however he was looking at Koenma. Closing my eye, I came to realize the fact that if I had not done those horrible things before, I might still be roaming around the Makai, free.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Yusuke had shouted. I guessed the reason why, "I'm missing another date with Keiko!"
"Hn. Baka." I had commented. Not that he was a baka. I just hated him. Why? Stop asking too much questions.
"He lives in this apartment not far from Yusuke's." Botan said as she read it on a piece of paper. "And he has a sister named Shamel. Wait; is that a girl's name? Never mind. Their parents are mostly gone. Hm, what else? We have to defend him, as his Spirit Power is getting stronger than before. He is rich however; his parents want them to live in an apartment. That is all that we need to know that is important."
"How does he look like?" Kurama asked.
Koenma clicked the remote control and a person appeared on the screen. He had black hair that reached his shoulders and wore a jacket. He looked like one of the guys whom girls just fall for.
"Sooo, what do we do?" Kurama said as all four of them walked the streets to reach Tiho's house. I still thought that it was a dumb name. Whoever his parents were, they must have not have a dictionary as great as I did. Tiho, bah! What a name.
A girl was walking in front of them and she was carrying plastics filled with groceries. I could tell it was heavy considered the fact that she stopped and wiped the sweat off her face. Kurama ran forward to help her.
It was expected. His mother, Shiori, taught him that. Sometimes I had hoped I had a mother however I hated mothers. I despised them!
"Um thanks." she said as she watched Kurama try to carry one bag, "Um are you sure that you can carry that?" she asked unsure.
"Uh, yeah, um, urg!" he said as he tried to carry two bags. I looked at it and it was filled with cans. Whatever it was, I decided to carry it since Kurama couldn't.
I lifted it. What is this stuff, I thought.
"Oh, arigato to you." she said. I looked over at Kurama and wondered why he could not simply carry the plastic of goods however he just gave a peace sign. Whatever that meant.
"Why are you carrying all of these?" Yusuke and Kuwabara asked as they scratched their heads. Looking over, I saw ten plastics of bags all filled with ningen grocery. I looked at the two plastic bags that I was holding that made it twelve. I looked at the girl. She must have been strong to have carried all of those.
She grinned at me when she noticed I had looked at her. I turned away not wanting her to think that I was looking at her.
"Hi. My name is Shamel." she said as she held out her hand. I looked at her. Shamel?
"Uh, Hiei." I said as I shook her hand, not knowing what I was doing. "Um, are you referred to Tiho Natanami?" I asked feeling nervous. Question 1, why am I nervous?
"Oh him? He is my brother. Did he do something wrong?" she asked.
"Hn."
"I take that as a yes?"
"Hn."
"Um, so what did he do?" she asked.
"Hn."
"Nice answer." she commented. I could not help but supress a grin.
"Kurama Minamino." Kurama said, as he held out his hand, as always, as courteous as possible.
After the boring introductions, we all headed to their apartment. She took out the key and opened the door.
There was no time to react. A white fluffy pillow hit her face.
"Ha HA!" a guy said inside, "I caught you again Shamy!"
"It's Shamel," she said as she picked her groceries again. It was then I noticed that she was small because she was carrying those groceries.
"Who are those?" he asked as he helped Shamel carry her groceries. She stretched her arms, happy to be relieved of the load.
"Oh, them?" she said, referring to us, "They helped me. Oh yeah! Come in!"
Kuwabara was relieved as he let go of the grocery items. Kurama and Yusuke felt the same. I wanted to make a wisecrack at them however, I was feeling tired myself.
"Um juice?" Shamel asked as she held out a glass of juice that was pink.
I looked at the juice, wondering if it was safe or not. "Hn." was all I said since I could not think of an answer.
"It's pomelo." she said. "And you are a demon right?" she said as she looked at me.
I was surprised to know that she knew. She giggled. "What's so funny?" I asked irritated. Kurama and the others and Tiho were in the other room watching ningen TV. We were in the kitchen. What was I doing there? I hoped to snag some sweet snow if ever.
"Nothing." she said, "It's just my normal reaction to laugh when I'm nervous." she said.
I wanted to ask why she was nervous but I was not that type that started a topic. Instead, I pretended that I was very interested with a straw. Ok, so maybe I was interested. It was not the ordinary straw. It was twisted and see-through. It was also very long and er- twisty.
"Wanna try it out?" she asked. It was then I noticed that she was cooking something. Using my Jagan, I saw that it was filled with meat. I snorted, wondering what you could make out of that.
"Sinigang." she answered as if she read my thoughts. I know that she did not since she seemed to have to read my facial expression. It was not bad for a ningen woman.
"Uh," I said, not knowing what to say. I do not like situations like this so I decided to leave.
"Hey! DO YOU KNOW THAT IT'S IMPROPER TO JUST RUN AWAY FROM I GIRL!" I heard her shout faintly as I ran away. I grinned in amusement.
It was strange. It was as if I knew her but I could not piece it where. Tiho? Oh yes, I know where I had seen him. I could see him underneath my sword for daring to insult me.
"JUICE!" Shamel called as she carried six glasses of the pink substance that she offered my a while ago. She looked at me like daggers and I realized that it must be because of what she said a little while ago.
"I'm leaving." I said as I got bored watching a show on the TV. It was a story about two lovers wanting to meet again but so many people were blocking them.
"Oh no you don't!" Kurama said as he held me back.
"Let me go kitsune." I said as I struggled to get away. Kurama said no.
"Yusuke, Kuwabara, Tiho, and I have to leave for the night." he stated. Wait, is he going to say what I think he was going to say?
"So, we plan that you stay over and guard Shamel while we're gone." he continued. I looked at Kurama as if his head was broken or something.
"Yeah shrimp!" Kuwabara said. I stared at him very hard. He backed away.
"Where are you going anyway?" I asked Kurama.
He looked at me and asked me to let go of his neckline. I let go of him as he adjusted his shirt. "Well, we four have to go to Koenma." he said.
"Why can't I go?" I asked as I crossed my arms. Shamel was not in the room.
"Tiho does not want to worry his sister that much." Kurama said, "Hiei, you have to take care of her."
"Babysitting?" I said, disgusted with the word.
"Uh,"
"Please Hiei." Tiho begged, "I have to have someone to guard my sister! Plus I still have to search for those guys after me and my family!" he cried out loud.
I naturally would have said no but when Yusuke carried a sleeping Shamel in his arms, I realized I could not say no. I was not worried for the girl but merely wanted to question her about certain things.
"I will do it but don't think it's because of you." I said as the others gave high-fives. "I did this because there are some things I want to know." I said, crossing my arms again.
"Thanks Hiei!" Tiho said as he, Kurama, Yusuke, and Kuwabara left.
"Don't do anything bad to him shrimp!" Kuwabara called. I decided to give him a certain hit in the head before he left. Before he left, I decided to make it five.
I watched amused as Kuwabara walked the dark streets with Kurama and the others in circles. "Whoa! Where's bro?" Shamel said form behind.
I looked at her. I felt no pity, in fact I felt like leaving her alone. I did.
"HEY! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT IT'S NOT PROPER TO JUST LEAVE A GIRL ALONE!!!!!!!!" she shouted. I didn't care. I mean, who was I to care?
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::
Heh, ok so this chapter was not that nice but I tried. I am more focused on my other story. Man, five stories. But I'm happy! twenty-one chapters in one of my stories!!! Yay!
Hiei: Ningens, so happy with simple things.
Yukina-kun (not Yukina): yeah.
Kurama: It's why humans have thrived through these years.
Yukina-kun: Yeah
Hiei: I still don't get it.
Yukina-kun: Yeah.
Hiei looks at Yukina-kun wondering.
Yukina-kun: Yeah.
Hiei walks up to her and hits her on the head.
Yukina-kun munches on Hiei's hand.
Yukina-kun: Bleah! Blood!
Hiei grins.
Shamel.
"Hiei!" Botan called. "Hiei!"
"What is it onna?" Hiei said as he woke up from his sleep, "Why do you keep popping up when I sleep and have a great time. Tell me."
"Oh Hiei, I did not know you felt that way." Botan said.
