Chapter 3

"What's wrong honey? You look pale."

"Who gave that to you?"

"A man…I can't recall his name…R…r…r."

"Reiku."

"Yes! That 's his name. He really was charming."

'I'll bet.' Kurama growled in his head. He smiled at his mother and told her that he was going. She gave him the typical "be careful, I love you" speech. Before he could leave. He swerved in and out of the crowd. He was going to see someone about this, and no one targets his mother, absolutely no one.

Hiei softly groaned as he slowly opened his eyes; shaking his head he looked at his surroundings. He was in a small, very dimly lit room. On his left was a very little window, and the moonlight cascaded into the room. He tried to move, that's when he realized that his hands were chained by his head; and his ankles had shackles, with very little moving space. ' Not like I can move much anyway. How in the hell did I get here? Wait! I remember…Austin.' His red eyes narrowed 'Where was she?'

"Well, well, well you're finally awake. It's about time."

"Where am I, and why am I here?"

"You keep you from interfering with Reiku's plan to overthrow and enslave the weak and pathetic human race."

" He won't get far! Trust me!"

Then Austin let out a loud and very annoying laugh. She looked at Hiei whose eyes just blazed with fire and fury. A smirk fell across her face as her eyes looked him over. Hiei noticed this and stuck his chin in the air and let out a very low and warning growl. A sly chuckle escaped the gorgeous, yet exceedingly annoying lips.

"And who's to stop him I wonder…you? Your puny little friends…I don't think so!"

"I will get out of here, and when I do I'm going to kick Reiku's ass, then yours you crazy bitch!"

Frowning Austin reared back and clocked him. He let out a low growl, and the fire ignited in his red eyes. Blood slowly trickled down his lip; this caught Austin's eye. With a smirk, she licked the blood from Hiei's chin and then she kissed him. His eyes widened and he tried to pull away. Her lips trailed to his neck.

"Demon blood always did taste better than any human blood."

"I dare you…I'm not afraid."

"I'm sure you're not."

Austin ran her tongue from under his chin to his pulse point. Hiei's heart sped up, not by choice. Her teeth punctured a little hole in his neck. Hiei let a small gasp escape; this caused her smirk to widen. She softly sucked on the blood, like she was sucking out of a straw. Again trying to pull away Hiei pulled back, kicking her in the shin, hissing she pulled back and glared at him.

"Don't touch me Austin…"

"You used to like my touch, what happened Hiei?"

"You left and became a vampire, then you kidnap me and have me chained up."

"A way that I prefer you to be."

"And won't be for long!"

Letting out a small chuckle, she caressed his cheek her eyes studying his face. Her gaze led deep into his eyes. 'Things can't be as they used to. He is a demon and I'm now and vampire, it wouldn't work…but damn he is still hot.' Her blood red eyes pierced his. Letting out a sigh, she pulled her hand away. She turned to go, but stopped, that's when she whirled around and slapped him.

"That's for calling me a bitch."

Smirking he retorted, "Hey. I call them as I see them."

"You're lucky I don't have all day to slap you around, jackass, or I would."

"You'd enjoy that wouldn't you."

"Sure."

With the slam of a door she was gone. Hiei watched her retreating figure. His eyes fell to her hips. Shaking his head he closed his eyes. 'Damn that woman is still as sexy as ever, but it wouldn't work. Not now, now that she was a vampire.' He thought to himself, opening his eyes he looked the direction Austin left in.

"I can't let my feelings get in the way of defeating Reiku. I must succeed, I have too." With that He began to work on a way to get out of the chains. A small smirk appeared on his handsome face as he spotted something that could help a weak spot in the chains.

"Dumb asses, giving me very weak chains."

Damion walked out of her the shop and shoved her groceries in the car. Her hair was shoved in a ponytail. Growling she walked to the drivers seat and was about to open the door when a familiar voice stopped her hand at the lock.

"Hello Damion. Long time no see."

Her breath stopped and her heart skipped a beat. It couldn't be, not yet, not now, not ever! Closing her eyes she turned around and was surprised that she came face to face with those beautiful emerald green eyes she had longed to look into for ever.

"Kurama. What are you doing here?"

"I need to talk to you."

"Really about what?"

"Reiku."

"What makes you think that I would have anything to do with Reiku?"

"I'm a spirit detective Reiku, I know. I'm not stupid."

" What about Reiku do you want to know?"

"Where is he?"

A.N. End! Wait for the fourth chapter! Will be up soon! Until then please review!
