On the streets and in the alley, two groups of people ruled. I won't call them gangs, but that was technically what they were. There was my big brother's 'group' and the others known as Bloods. They were blood thristy, merciless thugs, the whole bunch of them. They prowled the streets with hidden guns and their trademark red badanas tied proudly on their ugly heads.

Big bro is leader and is called Boss by those that know him as their leader. They weren't evil or trigger-happy like the Bloods. They were just people just like everyone else. Hirota Hagishimi was one. Often called Hiro, he was a really hot guy. Girls lined up to meet him and to have sex with him. Hiro would always be with some new girl every night and everyone just thought it was funny.

Hiro really was a good guy. He was nice and funny, even with his perverted tendencies. Being with Hiro made people smile. People at cash registers, gas stations, and even children liked Hiro. Which goes to show that even supposed gang members don't always have to be evil bullies.

I won't go into the inner workings of this gang because first off I'm not in it, contrary to popular belief. Sometimes I like to hang with my bro, no big deal. I didn't get into fights. I don't defend my brother. If someone has a grudge against him, I really don't care.

Second, because you probably don't want to know if it gets bloody or awful or something.

Third, well, there really is no third reason.

Ok, I know I haven't updated in forever, and there probably isn't going to be another chapter in a long while. Sorry, that's just the way I am. There's no point in flamming me for this because I already know I'm not reliable in the getting chapters out department.

Chapter 4         Demons

Hitomi

"Ok, let's head to the city, but first, home. I seriously need to get out of this uniform. It has nothing going for it at all." My dry, uncaring voice was back now that we had left the hangout. It was as if I was leaving one life and going to the next. I had to do this every single day. Welcome to my life.

"Hn." Hiei gave a little grunt to show that he had heard.

I walked slowly, looking around at the buildings and trees, "You have a speech defect or do you just like seeming stupid?" I glanced back at Hiei. His eyes had narrowed dangerously. I smirked, bugging Hiei was turning into a really fun sport. "Or maybe its because dogs don't speak..."

Hiei growled, a scowl evident on his face. This was so much fun! "You know, all this growling is making me think you really are a dog. There are so many similarities, one being the stench."

"You little bitch!" Hiei had his sword unsheathed and held it threateningly at me. I stopped walking and turned around to face him.

"Thinks that scares me?" I raised an eyebrow keeping a small smile on my face. Hiei narrowed his eyes again, and by now they were blazing. That's enough for one day I guess. "I'll mellow out ok? So you can get rid of the pointy stick."

Hiei continued to glare at me, but sheathed his sword. I smiled and started walking again.

We got to the building in a few minutes.

"Wait for me here ok?" I glanced back at Hiei, "I'll be down in a sec."

"Hn."

I shrugged, "Whatever." I ran up the stairs and quickly unlocked the door to my room. I pulled out a comfy pair of black, cargo pants and a red shirt with 'The Devil's Daughter' written in scrawly black print. I changed to an old pair of sneakers and pulled my hair back with a ribbon. I grabbed a sweater as I ran back down the stairs.

Hiei was still there, looking up at the sky. I went to stand next to him and glanced in the direction his eyes were in, "Clouds...very interesting." He ignored me. I grabbed his arm, "C'mon let's go. We still got a couple hours before dark."

I linked my arm around his and pulled him down the street. He looked at me saying with just a hint of sarcasm, "Nice shirt. It's completely you."

I rolled my eyes at him, "I know. It is, isn't it?" We were walking toward the city side by side, arms linked together, and he didn't even object. I blushed and quickly hid my face by turning to face the other direction. I was positive he didn't notice. What the fuck are you thinking, girl? Breathe in, breathe out. Keep your cool!

"Hiei? Wanna grab a burger?" I asked, my face, thankfully, back to normal.

"Hn."

I bit into the burger and decided it was bland. I emptied thirteen packets of ketchup and took another bite, globs of ketchup ending up on my face.

"That is so lady-like..." Hiei said dryly as he watch me eat the burger.

I rolled my eyes, "I try." I bit into the burger again, chewed, and swallowed. This was getting to be a long and boring night. Nothing interesting was happening and I felt myself slip out of sarcastically-happy mode and into my 'normal' mode meaning dry and sardonic.

"Tomi-kun!"

I turned to see Hiro walking into the burger shop with another one of his little 'one-night-stand' women. I watched as he approached taking another bite of my messy burger.

"It's nice to see you out these days. I haven't seen you with the Boss lately. Are you guys fighting again?" Hiro sat down at a table next to us.

"No, just because we don't hang out like best buds doesn't mean we're fighting. Who's the bitch this time?" I asked nodding toward the female body latched onto Hiro. She glared at me venomously.

Hiro smiled, "This is Hana. Hana, that's Hitomi."

Hana forced a smile, her eyes still glaring with animosity, "Nice to meet you, Hitomi-san."

I grabbed a napkin and wiped the ketchup off my face. "Polite one, this time, eh, Hiro?" Hana's smile faltered. I smirked.

"Don't be such an ice queen, Tomi-kun. By the way, who's the black-haired shorty you got there with you?" Hiro glanced at Hiei. Hiei narrowed his eyes.

I laughed mentally at Hiei's discomfort, but kept a straight face, "That's nobody. Just a bodyguard. So, what's up my bro these days?"

Hiro slipped an arm around Hana, "Oh, the usual, says he's taking care of business. But between you and me, he's acting real weird these days. He doesn't meet with us when he says he will. Them Bloods call me and guys names and Boss don't even do nothing about it."

"Do anything about it," I corrected him. I paused a second before saying, "He's finally cracking under all the pressure, I'll bet."

"Boss thrives on pressure, you know that." Hana was whispering into Hiro's ear. Hiro suddenly smiled, "Me and the lady will be going now."

I snorted, "If you see my bro, tell him to keep his cool, we can't afford to blow the secret."

"Alright, bye Tomi-kun," Hiro waved and left, the door swinging before it stopped.

I finished off the rest of my burger quickly, wiped the ketchup off my face, and threw the trash away, "Ready to go, Hiei?" He nodded and we both got up and walked out.

It wasn't late, but the sun had already gone down and the streets and alleys were already dark. The moon was hidden behind some clouds and the only light came from the blinking street lights above.

We headed down the street and suddenly I felt a chill. I could tell Hiei felt it, too. He was looking around his hand on his sword. "Hiei? What's going on?"

"Demons."

And all of a sudden, they came. A group of figures dropped to the ground in front of us. I could see their many eyes glancing around before all stopping on me. "Hiei, I'm not armed," I said keeping a calm voice. It was my way of saying asking for help.

Next chapter, Hiei's point of view. I've got it planned out, but it probably won't be here in a long while, sorry.

Review please.
