Repreview: Yusuke and Hiei battle it out over the Shadow Sword. Hiei is also battling for Kitty. Read on to find out what happens.
______________________________________________________________________________
" Yusuke Urameshi, you will die." Hiei said standing on the top of a flag pole on the top of a building. " I'm doing this for Kitty. I can't let her be stuck as your partner. She doesn't deserve that kind of torture."
Hiei just stood on the top of the flag pole and was scouting the ground. He then saw what he was looking for, Kayko, Yusuke's girl. " There that is Yusuke's girlfriend. He has mine and so I will take his." Hiei said to himself as he jumped off of the pole.
He landed on the ground next to Kayko. She looked startled and Hiei said " Kayko, Yusuke has someone that I want back....I'll take you in place to bargain." He then cut her with the Shadow Sword. She fainted and he caught her. He then quickly jumped out of the street and ran over the tops of buildings to where he had his stronghold.
*We now go to where Botan, Kitty, and Yusuke are*
" Yusuke! Yusuke! Wait up!" Botan said as she came running up behind Yusuke and Kitty, who were arguing over whether if cheese could taste yellow.
" It can too!" Yusuke yelled, everybody was staring at him, he had gotten used to that because he was talking to a girl who was invisible to them.
" YOU CAN'T TASTE A COLOR YOU STUPID BASTARD!!" Kitty yelled back glad none of the children in the park could hear her. She likes kids and doesn't like using cuss words in front of them.
" Ok guys please stop arguing. I have some very important news for Yusuke." Botan said catching up with them. She pulled them into a sheltered grove of trees and said " Now that's better I can actually talk to you guys without anyone else hearing me!"
" What's up Botan?" Kitty asked flicking Yusuke off with her middle finger because he had just stuck his tongue out at her.
" Yusuke this news is for you. It's about Kayko." Botan said.
" KAYKO! What happened to her? Is she all right?" Yusuke asked frantic.
" I don't know if she's all right but I know what happened to her." Botan said getting the infamous anime sweat drop.
" Well tell me then!" Yusuke said about to pick Botan up by her shirt collar before Kitty tripped him. He looked up at Kitty narrowing his eyes.
" Kayko has been kidnaped by Hiei. He says to bring Kitty to the abandoned warehouse. He also said that Kitty would know where it is. That's all Koenma said Hiei had left in the message for you." Botan said backing up from Yusuke in case he decided to vent his anger out on her.
" Let's go and find Hiei then. Kitty where's this abandoned warehouse?" Yusuke said unnervingly calm.
" It's just on the other side of this park. Actually only about a five minute walk." Kitty said getting an anime sweat drop like Botan.
"Let's go then. Kayko is in trouble!" Yusuke said pulling both girls after him.
FIVE MINUTES LATER
" Hiei, come out here so I can kick your ass!" Yusuke yelled when they arrived at the ware house and had entered the door.
" Fine, you want me here I am." a voice said from somewhere above them.
"Where are you. I can't see you bastard!" Yusuke said looking everywhere above him, not seeing anything.
" I'm right here." the voice said again, this time Hiei appeared holding Kayko over his shoulder.
" Kayko!" Yusuke yelled about to run up to Hiei.
Kitty grabbed Yusuke's shoulder and shook her head 'no'. " Don't unless you want to die along with Kayko!" Kitty whispered in Yusuke's ear.
" Leave me alone, bitch. Unless you want to get killed along with your demon boyfriend!" Yusuke said twisting his arm out of Kitty's grasp.
" Send Kitty over here and I'll give you Kayko." Hiei said half laughing.
"Why should I trust you? Give Kayko back and then Kitty can go." Yusuke said pulling Kitty in front of him.
" And you think that I should trust you? That's something I can laugh about." Hiei said laughing.
" Hiei please, just trust him." Kitty said looking up into Hiei's eyes.
" Fine....but only because Kitty said to trust you I will." Hiei said as he threw Kayko down to Yusuke.
Yusuke let go of Kitty's shoulder and caught Kayko in his arms. Kitty ran up to Hiei and ran into his arms. " Let's go. Please....I don't like it here." Kitty said trying to pull Hiei away from Yusuke, Botan, and Kayko.
" Yusuke, look closely at Kayko. Do you think that I would actually let her go?" Hiei said laughing a bit more.
" What?! Kayko's fine! What do you mean?" Yusuke said laying Kayko down on the floor.
" Yusuke, I don't think Kayko's fine. Look at her forehead." Botan said shakily.
" What?" Yusuke asks moving away Kayko's dark brown bangs. " What is that? Hiei what have you done!?"
" Kayko has been cut by the Shadow Sword. Once that Jagan Eye fully opens she will become a demon. Not a very smart one, but a servant type, kind of." Hiei said with another laugh, still holding Kitty in his arms.
Kitty then looked up at Hiei with tears in her eyes, " Why Hiei? Why did you do this?" she said as the tears poured down her face. They turned into the valuable jewels but this time she didn't pick them up, she just let them lay on the floor while she cried into Hiei's cloak.
" Kitty...." Hiei said stroking her hair. " I....."
" Don't explain it'll just make things worse." Kitty said pulling away from him and sitting down next to Kayko using her healing powers to help Botan try and keep the eye from completely opening.
" Why you....fight me now Hiei. You've really pissed me off!" Yusuke said shaking his fist in Hiei's face.
" Fine... but you better hurry and 'beat' me. Your assistance's energy is failing and Kitty's won't hold up much longer." Hiei said pulling off his cloak to reveal the Shadow Sword in it's sheath hanging from his waist.
"Fine...this won't take long." Yusuke said aiming a punch at Hiei's head.
Hiei just dodged it and kicked Yusuke in the back of the head. " Oww....that guy is fast. I wish I'd thought to pester Kitty to tell me about Hiei's powers. She wouldn't have told me though. She loves the guy to much. But damn he's so fast." Yusuke thought to himself.
He aimed another punch at Hiei who was sneaking up behind him. This one hit it's mark and Hiei went flying through the wall. Kitty about tore away from Kayko to help him but then sat back down when he got up. " That's it Yusuke. I'll beat you here and now!" Hiei yelled as he drew his sword and slashed it at Yusuke at close range.
But instead of hitting Yusuke it hit Kurama who had pushed Yusuke out of the way to block him. " Kurama! Why did you...." Hiei said as he pulled back his sword.
" I couldn't let you kill him Hiei...it's not right." Kurama said as he fell to the ground holding his stomach. Kitty didn't see this because she was in the other room, but she heard Kurama's voice and left Botan to help Kayko and ran into the next room. She saw Kurama on his knees on the floor drenched down his front in blood. She then tried to drag Kurama into back into the room she had just come from. Kurama just shooed her away and got up and followed her into the room.
" Kurama...you shouldn't have gotten in the way. Now I'll have to transform into my demon form." Hiei said quietly.
Hiei's Jagan Eye then began glowing a brilliant red. His spirit energy level shot through the roof. He turned a shade of a medium green and red eyes grew all over his body. His hair parted in the middle and his eyes turned yellow. " Like my demon form, Yusuke? I've never had to transform to beat a human before. I bet you've never seen a demon transformation have you?" Hiei said laughing.
" Actually I have. When Kitty killed Gouki she said it would be fun to kill him in her demon form." Yusuke said spitting blood out of his mouth where he had gotten kicked earlier.
" Well lucky for you she showed you just how powerful a demon can be in demon form. Too bad...I wanted to show you myself." Hiei said sarcastically.
" Sorry....your girlfriend didn't help you on this one did she?" Yusuke said throwing another punch at Hiei. Hiei dodged it and aimed a kick at Yusuke's head. Yusuke dodged it and they began kicking and punching each other at a furious speed. Hiei missed a kick and Yusuke punched him in the face. Blood flew from Hiei's mouth as he flew into a pile of crates. He got up and was furious. He unsheathed his sword again and backed Yusuke into a corner. " There's no way out now Yusuke!" Hiei said laughing.
" Wait! Isn't that the Forlorn Hope over there in the corner?" Yusuke thought to himself. " Maybe this will work..."
Yusuke charged up his Spirit Gun attack and then let it go. It flew past Hiei and hit the Forlorn Hope. " Your aim's as bad as your fighting!" Hiei said laughing.
" Think again three eyes!" Yusuke said as the Spirit Gun bounced off of the Forlorn Hope and hit Hiei in the back. Kitty was standing in the doorway watching this. She screamed just as the blast hit Hiei in the back and then ran half way across the room. " Wha...how did you..." Hiei said as he transformed back into his human form. He fell to his knees and was falling face forward on the ground until Kitty slide and caught him in her arms. " Please don't die...don't die!" Kitty cried putting her head on Hiei's chest.
" It's....okay....everything's f-fine....KitKat....." Hiei said right before he fainted.
Kitty held him close to her, getting drenched in his blood in the process, crying, she then started healing him with what was left of her healing power. Yusuke just walked out of the room quietly. " Yusuke why didn't you tell me that your Spirit Gun could bounce off mirrors. When did you learn that?" Botan said as he walked up.
" I learned it about five minutes ago." Yusuke said nervously laughing. " Hey, how's Kayko?"
" Kayko's fine...you mean you risked our lives on a guess?" Botan said raising her voice.
" Yea...I saw something in science class about how a prism of glass could bend light and I thought that it was the same!" Yusuke said putting his hand behind his head.
" Well....here we've been thinking that you're a brilliant strategist...really you're just a lucky fool." Kurama said nursing his wound laughing.
" Oh ha ha ha!" Yusuke said turning around pretending to be mad.
" Where's Kitty? I thought I heard her crying." Botan said as she got up.
" Yea...she's in there with Hiei...I don't know why but she's crying over the damn bastard." Yusuke said looking at Kurama. " Why does your sister like Hiei so much?"
" I really don't know....they're kind of two of the same. They're both loners." Kurama said shaking his head. " I'm not one to gossip but he really cried over her when she was trapped in Spirit World."
" What!?" Botan and Yusuke said together.
" You mean Hiei actually cried?!" Yusuke said in disbelief.
" Yes...why did you think that he was incapable of feelings?" Kurama said looking at the both of them.
" No...but it's kind of weird... Hiei crying...never thought that it was possible..." Botan said. " We better go. You too Kurama, you have to go with me to see Koenma. Goodbye Yusuke."
" Yeah...whatever." Yusuke said picking up Kayko and walking out of the door.
*We now leave them to go back to Hiei and Kitty*
" Hiei please be alright! Please... I couldn't live anymore if you died." Kitty sobbed using the last of her energy to heal Hiei's wounds. " Please...don't be....d-d-dead!"
She scooted over next to a wall and pulled him up into her lap. " Please don't be dead...I love you....I love you...please don't die! I love you... do you hear me Hiei!" Kitty said stroking Hiei's hair while laying her head on his chest.
" Kitty....are you there?" Hiei said weakly.
" Yes...it's me Hiei. I'm right here...don't try to get up." Kitty said as he tried to sit up.
" Are you okay?" Hiei said looking at her.
" I'm fine....you're the one who's hurt....I'm glad you're not dead." Kitty said hugging him, still crying.
" I'm just glad that you didn't get hurt in that fight. That's all that matters to me....I love you KitKat." Hiei said putting his arms around her.
" I love you too Hiei." Kitty said quietly as she laid her head on his chest and he stroked her hair.
"It's ok KitKat....I'm fine...don't cry anymore....everything will be fine." Hiei said as he kissed the top her head and rested his chin in her hair.
Kitty snuggled up closer to Hiei and then went to sleep. She was tired from using up all of her energy healing Hiei. Hiei just laid his head on top of hers and fell asleep too. Hiei woke up eight hours later still holding Kitty in his arms, she was asleep. He just smiled and whispered in her ear " Hey Kit, wake up! Wake up! You've been asleep for about eight hours."
Kitty just mumbled something then she snuggled up closer to Hiei and went back to sleep.
Hiei then thought of something that he had read in her diary, she didn't like being late for school. " Hey KitKat...if you don't get up you're going to be late for school." Hiei whispered into her ear again.
Kitty lifted up her head and just looked at him. " Hiei it's a Saturday morning. No school. I'm not stupid....but I'll get up because you actually tried." she said yawning and stretching as she got up. She extended her claws and then retracted them.
" You look well...I guess you needed a good sleep too." she said as she helped Hiei to his feet. She looked around her. She saw jewels scattered all around her.
" Well it looks like you did a great deal of crying..." Hiei said smiling.
" Oh can it! I heard Kurama say that you cried like a big baby when I didn't come back from Spirit World with you guys." Kitty said sticking her tongue out at him, smiling.
" Don't believe everything you hear!" Hiei said laughing.
" I believe my own brother..." Kitty said putting her arms around Hiei's neck.
" Really? Do you think that's wise..." Hiei said putting his arms around Kitty's waist.
" Maybe...maybe not...all depe–" Kitty didn't get to finish her sentence because Hiei kissed her on the lips.
" Whoever said that the simple things aren't the best things was wrong..." Kitty thought as she kissed Hiei back.
They stood kissing until Botan came down to get them to take them to Koenma.
