Sorry about all the typos of previous chapters. I'll try not to make anymore. I hope that so far, the story doesn't suck. :dodges a chair that was thrown: OK, OK! No need to get violent people:runs away from flying knives:

Ume was angry. She tried to hit Akio immediately. Akio dodged it with ease and knocked Ume down. She landed on the ground. She got up and shook her head.

"Who the hell is this guy?" She thought. Akio let his guard down and Ume took this chance to kick him away.

"Ow, that hurt. You shouldn't have kicked your master. Now I'm angry, you had a chance to come quietly but you leave me no choice. I will have to kill you. Let's put it this way. I'm doing your friends, you, and the community a favor. Once you transform, you will forget all about them and attack them instantly."

Ume stared at him in horror. Just as Akio was about to make the finishing blow, when suddenly a whip came and tied Akio's arms together. It was Kurama's Rose Whip. Hiei came and was about to cut Akio in half when he somehow slipped out of Kurama's clutches. He ran a good distance away while Ume was lying on the ground twitching ever so slightly. She got up slowly.

"Are you going to be ok?" Yusuke asked.

"Minor injuries, it's no prob."

Ume started to get up but fell down.

"Ok… turns out we have a little problem; and since you're gonna ask anyways, I should just save you the trouble and answer. Yes, Kurama, I am going to still fight."

Just then she was severely cut in the back. Hiei had cut her and knocked her out but not before she could say some last words to him.

"When I wake up... Hiei… You are so…dead..." With that, she blacked out.

"I'll fight him now." Hiei stepped out from the others and challenged Akio.

"What? Now I have to get through all of you to get to her? That doesn't seem fair."

"No, it's just me."

"Well, that's different."

Right after Akio finished saying 'different,' the battle started. They clashed swords, their speeds were even. Hiei knew this and he was preparing for his Dragon of the Darkness Flame. Akio saw this attack coming and he was prepared. He dashed over to Ume and grabbed her by the collar of her shirt (have you noticed that people always grab her by the collar of her shirts?) and used her as a shield. Hiei stopped before his Dragon was released.

"You don't want to attack me while I have your lil girlfriend, do you?"

Hiei remained silent. In a flash, angered, he cut Ume's collar off and caught her before she hit the ground (like she has many times before). She handed her off to Kurama. Just as he was about to set her down, the moon shone through the clouds in the sky.

Ume was transforming into her demon half. She had grown furry, had razor-sharp teeth and claws. She had blood-red eyes and a serious, unstoppable power, and an uncontrollable thirst for blood. She was about to attack Akio. He tried to tame the demon but it had no effect. He just ran off screaming, "LOOKS WHAT YOU BAKA NINGENS (stupid humans) DID! WE ARE ALL DOOMED!"

Ume looked at the Tentai, she assaulted them at once. Normally that kind of blow would have killed a normal human but Ume's demonic half was not aware of the fact they were not normal so they survived as Ume ran off in search of more blood. The group rose up steadily and when they were all up, Kuwabara was first to speak.

"Holy! THAT WAS UME! SHE JUST TRIED TO KILL US!"

"She has completely forgotten about us already." Yusuke said, stating the obvious.

Hiei, as usual, remained silent, but strangely, this time was bazaar. He had a strange look in his eyes and he ran off in the opposite direction of the road Ume had run off in.

"What's up with him?"

"He must be in denial like you were, Yusuke."

"I was never in denial! When was I in denial Kurama!"

"… Never mind that, we have to stop Ume before she hurts anyone else."

They ran towards the place they last sensed Ume was at.

In the mean time…

Hiei was running, he was just attacked by Ume and that happening was overwhelming. He stopped to catch his breath. He had no idea what was going to happen. He wandered aimlessly. He sat on the branch of his tree. He had no idea why he didn't just fight Ume, why he didn't kill her. He would of with any other human/demon. So he thought… He sat there and thought back, he searched his mind trying to find solution to his unanswered questions. He back thought to the day he first met Ume; it wasn't very long at all…

Inside Hiei's mind…

He was awoken by a knock on the head. It was Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and some other girl with them. She did not state her name. She hid behind Kuwabara (since he's so TALL).

"Why are you so frightened? It is Hiei, yea, but he isn't gonna kill you…hopefully…Besides, you weren't hiding when you met Kuwabara and Kurama…Hiei, this is Ume." Yusuke introduced as he was trying to drag Ume from behind Kuwabara.

"Hi…"

"I'm gonna have a heck of a hand cramp tonight…" She said to herself, staring at the ground.

Unlike the others, Hiei was able to hear her words (even if he was farther away from her than them). He wondered what she had meant but decided he could care less about that human girl… This is what he had thought back then, he treated her the same way he had treated the others. He still did not know what changed him. Unknown to him, he was wasting precious time. Ume was currently on a rampage around the city. She was hurting people who were on the streets, but fortunately she had not killed any humans yet. The rest of the YuYu Gang tried to stop her but every time they caught up, she'd run away, usually before she could even kill anyone but sometimes she'd injure them very badly.

The Spirit Detectives weren't the only ones busy, the hospital kept getting calls about injuries all around and people kept calling the police to try and track down who's hurting everyone but they found no one. Somehow as Yusuke and the others were going after Ume when they saw her off guard. Just they were about to strike and knock out Ume, they were stopped by the police. Right behind Ume heard their orders and ran off…yet again…

"What the heck is wrong with you policemen we coulda-"Kurama cut Yusuke off before he could say something that he'll regret saying later.

"Why did you stop us officers?" Kurama asked irritated, for he too was annoyed by how close they were to catching Ume, when they were stopped so meaninglessly.

"Don't you kids watch the news? There's a killer on the loose. You should all go home."

"The killer wouldn't be on the loose if you didn't stop us." Yusuke mumbled just loud enough so that only Kurama and Kuwabara to hear. Kuwabara elbowed Yusuke in the ribs, signaling him to be quiet. They wouldn't let them go through and continue their search and Kuwabara had had enough. He brought out his Spirit Sword behind his back and sliced the policemen lightly so that they'd only get knocked out and not die.

"You almost killed them but good job, Kuwabara." Yusuke complimented.

"Did I just say that?" he whispered to Kurama.

"Yes, I did not too long ago as well."

"What's the world coming to?"

They three ran off avoiding all officers and trying to lure Ume away from them as well every time they got too close. Finally they found Ume attacking some little kid. She was about to kill him when she let out an ear-piercing scream. She was cut in the back by Hiei's katana. Everyone was glad to see him back although Hiei had found no answers to his problems.

He figured he should stop becoming so weak and just live with this problem. He figured he might be able to figure it out eventually…

His cut had hit on target and sliced up Ume's back badly. They had to fight and, as Ume was being distracted, the little kid ran away crying for his mommy. Ume was growling, her teeth showed and suddenly, she stopped. The group watched wondering why she had hesitated in striking Hiei like she had done with countless people. They all stood there, dumbfounded.
