A/N: Thank you to my one reviewer, ChichirrisLverGirl, for an awesome review, and here is the next chapter! Disclaimer: I own my plot and characters.

Chapter Two: An Injured Hiei and A New Power

The demons all advanced and Hiei used his demonic speed to take out the first one. All of the others raised their guns, and split up. Somehow they got between Hiei and me. Two of them came after me, and the remaining three went after him. When they were close enough I slashed my Katana at one and was surprised when his arm came off. 'Cool, I got him!' I thought. I had taken off the arm with the gun, and he screeched in pain, then he slashed at me with his claws. I dodged, but I'm not a good fighter, and didn't fully dodge the attack. The slash hit my arm hard enough to make me drop my Katana. I raised my palm and released an arrow. It hit the mark.

I may not be a good fighter but I am a good shot, after having to use my power so much to defend myself. The guns were pistols, and I estimated that they were holding six shots each. I shot the other demon with one of my arrows (after sliding under a shot) and grabbed my Katana. I looked over and saw Hiei still fighting, and then I saw why. The demons I had killed were coming back to life, pulling themselves back together in the process!

Aim for their foreheads. Hiei thought to me. Ok. I thought back I shot one in the forehead, then the other. It seemed to work, but then they came back to life again! I thought you said 'aim for their foreheads. I thought to Hiei. Well, try cutting off their heads. He thought back.

But before I could try, one of them tripped me. This time, I held on to my Katana, and I cut that demon's legs off. The other demon aimed at me and pulled the trigger.

Hiei's POV

I cut two of the demons' head off, and they didn't come back to life, so when Sakari contacted me I told her to cut off their heads. I had killed one more when I saw Sakari go down. I knew she was in trouble, so as she cut the legs off of her offender, I rushed over. I had seen the other demon aim his gun. I got there as he pulled the trigger and picked up Sakari. I then proceeded to feel a searing pain in my left side.

Sakari's POV

Hiei was suddenly there and before I could be hit, he had picked me up and taken a few steps before I felt a shudder go through him. He dropped me as we went down, and I skidded a ways away from him.

He tried to get up, but was kicked down by one of the three demons remaining. I jumped up, still clutching my Katana. I started to run over as the demon took aim at Hiei's head. "Hiei!" I yelled. Then I was right next to the demon, and in one fluid motion I decapitated him. I used my newfound speed to kill off the other last demon. Then I rushed back over to Hiei, who was struggling to get up.

"Hiei, Hiei are you ok?" "I'm fine." "You've lost a lot of blood." I said, looking at a now sitting Hiei. "Are you ok?" He asked me. He actually sounded concerned. "Yeah, thanks to you." I answered. "Sorry."

Hiei's POV

After she killed the other two demons she asked if I was ok. "I'm fine." I snapped, proud that my voice wasn't soft. I didn't like having to be rescued. "You've lost a lot of blood." She said, concern evident in her face. 'I know I have.' I thought to myself. "Are you ok?" I asked her, I was angry that my voice came out softer than intended. 'What do I care?' "Yeah, thanks to you." She answered, and I was surprised to hear her add "Sorry."

"What for?" My voice was smitten with unconcealed surprise. "Because it's my fault that you got hurt." Came the reply, as she looked away from me. 'Yes, it is. If you had used your speed sooner, none of us would be injured.' Those were the words that I planned to say, but somehow I knew that even she hadn't been aware of her own abilities. So of course I ended up saying something I hadn't planned on. "No, it wasn't your fault. But I do have to teach you how to fight." She laughed, and I could tell it was more out of relief.

"We better find the others." I said, starting to get up. Despite myself I winced, and covered the wound with my hand like a weak human would do. 'Good thing I'm not human, they have no tolerance for pain.' I thought to myself. Sakari had stood up before me, and I suddenly felt her arm around my back. She placed my left arm on her shoulders to help support me. I saw in her eyes that she was worried.

I was going to push her away, but something stopped me. It felt... nice. 'You're going soft, Baka!' I mentally shouted at myself. Then, while we walked out, I contacted the Kitsune. Kurama, she used her powers so we can bring her to Koenma now. Are any of you hurt? We're fine. He was shot. Another thought interrupted our mental conversation. I stopped and looked at Sakari, who had a look of concentration on her face. 'So, she learned how to use another power. Fast learner.' I mentally noted. I'll get Yusuke and Kuwabara and we'll meet you at my house, my mother is away on business this week. Kurama ended our conversation. I wasn't looking forward to getting there. We would introduce Sakari to the dimwit and the detective, and they'd probably bring the girls for her to meet too. If Kuwabara tries anything to Sakari... Wait, I don't care! I meant Yukina. Yeah, if the Baka tries anything to Yukina... "Let's go meet them." Sakari said, and we started for Kurama's house.

Sakari's POV

'I can't believe he wouldn't say anything about being shot.' I thought incredulously, as we made our way to Kurama's place. When we got there, I was surprised to see five people instead of three waiting for us. Kurama answered the door before we could knock, and for some reason raised an eyebrow at us. I was trying to figure out why when Hiei took his arm off my shoulders and moved away.

'I get it, the no emotion thing.' I thought as Red stepped aside and we went in. The two people I wasn't expecting to see were introduced as Botan and Yukina. Kurama also introduced me to Yusuke and Kuwabara, as Yukina healed Hiei. As Kurama formally introduced himself to me, I was surprised to see Hiei was actually doing what Yukina asked him to.

He had taken off his shirt so she could heal his side, and wasn't pulling away. I had expected him to insist on being left alone. I also heard him say "Thank you" in an actual polite tone. As I looked closer, (I admit, mostly at his bare chest. I couldn't help it ok?), they did kind of look alike. They had the same chin, were almost the same height, and they both had almost the same eyes. (Although Hiei's were in my opinion, better.)

"Are Hiei and Yukina related?" I asked Kurama, keeping my voice low. "Why do you ask?" Kurama, who was obviously flustered and stalling for time, asked me. I saw his eyes dart to Hiei and I tried to get into his head. Don't say a word. There was a threatening voice echoing in Kurama's head. I saw Hiei glaring at him. "Why doesn't he want me to know? Now it's obvious that they're related." I stated. Kurama looked at Hiei again.

"Don't say anything about it Sakari, please. Even Yukina doesn't know," Hiei glared at him again," He doesn't tell anyone for her protection." Kurama said. "I won't say a word." I promised. I looked at Hiei, You can trust me. I thought to him. He was still sitting on the couch, while Yukina had wandered off to talk to Botan. I went and sat next to him, after telling Kurama that it was nice talking with him. "Feeling better?" I asked him. Which was dumb because he had just been healed. "You know that if you tell anyone I'll kill you." Hiei told me, not even bothering to spare a glance in my direction.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I said as a wry grin spread across my features. He did look at me then. It was a perfect time for him to say something like, 'I knew I could trust you Sakari.' But what he said instead was, "Go get your arm healed." Of course I did want to do that, but first, "So, when do you start training me?" I asked. I think I may have surprised him. "What?" He asked. "You said that you would teach me how to fight, and I want to learn." I explained. "So when do we start?" "Tomorrow, really early." Was the reply.

Hiei's POV

"So, when do you start training me?" She suddenly asked. After I had threatened her too, so this surprised me. "What?" I asked dumbly. She reminded me that I had told her I had to teach her how to fight, and told me she wanted to learn. 'You're already going soft on her, you don't need any alone time together.' I thought to myself but none-the-less I heard myself saying, "Tomorrow, really early." Gosh, I am stupid sometimes. "You already know how to use your spirit power, so I'll teach you how to use your Katana, and I won't go easy on you because you're half human." I was surprised by her answer. "I wouldn't have it any other way." She said to me, smiling, as get her arm Yukina came over to heal her arm. I think I smiled back.

Sakari's POV

Kurama walked up to Hiei, Yukina and I as the apparition was healing me, and told me I could stay at his house until his mom got back in a week. He told me that after that I would be staying at Genkai's Temple. Whoever she is. And then I would be trained and taken to see Koenma. Whoever he is. I told him Hiei was going to train me. He raised an eyebrow and Hiei glared at him, while Yukina told me I was all healed. I said "Thanks" as Hiei kept glaring at Red.

A/N: So, did you like? How was my battle scene? I'm not sure that it was that great, and I'm wondering if I caught Hiei's personality at all. Although there will be a little OOC-ness. Please review and read Hiei Goes To The Shrink! Oh, before I forget (again!) When they are speaking with telepathy, I noticed it was hard to keep track of who is saying what, so when there is a change in character there will be an asterick star thingy before the sentence. Please tell me in a review if you are still confused. Next chapter: A Week Later. Seriously, that's really the name of it!

Hasta Luego,
