Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I have been really busy. I had to do projects and I have practice or games six days out of the week but I wrote a longer chapter. I hope you like it and thanks for the reviews it brightens my day…seriously.

HieiFan666: Thanks for reviewing. I would say more but I'm tired.

animefreak03: Thanks for the compliment and reviewing. I love your story Half breeds True test of Destiny.


The sun had set. Clouds were in the sky. It was cold breeze outside but Sakura was still smiling brightly as she walked to Kurama's house. She was wearing a sleeveless shirt that had different shades of green, black pants that went to her ankle, and her hair was in a pony tail with a few strands of hair at each side of her face. Around her neck she wore the binoculars and in her back pocket she had her camera.

Sakura thought she saw a shadow pass by her, 'What was that', she thought looking around. "I must be seeing things." Her thoughts then wandered off to Hiei, 'I wonder where he is at? He just disappears.' Sakura then saw a familiar house and smirked, 'I'm here…'

Sakura found in tree from which she can see a living room containing two couches and a screen TV with a table in between. She also saw a dining table that was neatly set. 'I guess I don't need binoculars.' Sakura then saw Kurama dressed in brown slacks with a white buttoned up shirt. After a few moments Sakura saw a girl with blue hair walk up to door with a sweet smile on her face as she rang the doorbell.

She wore a white skirt with blue flowers on it, a light blue shirt, and a thin white sweater. 'She's pretty', thought Sakura as she took her camera to take a picture of her. As she took the picture the camera flashed. Sakura froze and stayed close to the tree so she could blend with it. Botan looked around a bit nervous but when she saw no one she took a deep breath, "You're just seeing things."

"Seeing what," Kurama asked having been standing there for a while since Botan did not notice him. Botan smiled, "Hi Kurama, it was nothing I just thought I saw something, are you ready to watch the movie." Kurama smiled at her, "Okay then come in and before we watch the movie I thought it be best if we ate first."

Botan walked in with a big smile, "that will be great Kurama."

Kurama looked directly at the tree and then went back inside. After a few moments had passes, Sakura finally allowed herself to breathe "that was close." She looked at her camera and turned the flash off. She saw Kurama and Sakura walk into the dining room so she decided to get a better view on them. Sakura jumped off the tree and went to a window with a better view.

She stayed low so she can lessen the risk of being seen. As she watched she heard her stomach growl at the food that was in front of her. There was a meatloaf and mash potato along with dessert which was a pumpkin pie. After staring at the food for a while she turned back to the couple and felt that Kurama could see her so she went back to the tree.

She sat there for what seem like an hour before Kurama and Botan were finished with talking and eating. As they watched the movie, Sakura took five pictures of Botan leaning on Kurama's shoulder. When the movie was over Kurama walked Botan out to the door. Kurama smiled sweetly at Botan and started to her about things that Sakura couldn't hear.

Kurama then kissed Botan on the cheek. They both blushed and hugged each other. Sakura took at least 10 pictures of it. Botan left on her oar that magically appeared and Sakura looked bewildered for a second and then thought, 'this is my life.' Kurama stood there and then he walked close to the tree not taking his eyes off of it. Sakura watched as he walked closer to the tree and inspected it. 'I could have sworn that I sensed someone,' Kurama thought.

'When will Botan come back? You shouldn't have let her leave.'

'Youko she had to go back to koenma, Kurama replied sighing and walking back into his house. Sakura gave a sigh of relief, "that was to close." 'Good thing I moved before they went outside,' Sakura though as she stood from the roof of Kurama's house.

She was about to jump up when she heard a voice from behind her that caused her to lose her balance and land on her left ankle. Her heart beat fast but once she saw a pair of crimson eyes she relaxed. She checked her ankle and saw that it was swollen, 'Great…' She looked up at Hiei who was standing in front of her with arms crossed.

"Where did you come from?" "Hn." 'Fine don't tell me,' she thought as she tried to get up but as soon as she put weight on her left foot she fell back down. Sakura then started to crawl toward Genkai's temple. When she passed the third house she started to shiver and her arms were getting scrapped. Hiei who had been following her watched as she continued to crawl to the temple. 'Stubborn,' Hiei thought as she didn't ask for help even though he was there.

Sakura then curled up for she was to cold to walk on and yet to stubborn to ask for help. Hiei, being annoyed having to wait for her, picked her up bridal style and sped off to Genkai's temple. When he got there, he set her down on one of the couches. He saw that she had cuts on her arms and her ankle was very swollen so he went to get some bandages for her. He brought them and gave them to her.

She grabbed the bandages saying thank you in a quiet voice. "Hn, I only did so I didn't have to watch you drag your self pathetically." Sakura removed her shoe and tried to wrap her ankle as best as she could which wasn't too good. She sighed in frustration and tried to wrap her ankle again. Hiei became annoyed, "give me the bandages." Sakura looked questionably at him. Hiei rolled his eyes, "give me the bandages and I'll wrap ankle."

Hiei sat in front of Sakura and put her foot on his leg and started to wrap his ankle. "Wow he's gentle...What are you thinking Sakura, he can read your mind!" Hiei looked up at Sakura and saw that she was still shivering. "Here," Hiei said as he handed her his jacket (I can't think of what it is called). Sakura looked at it and put it on, "Thanks," she said. "Hn."

Sakura then noticed bandages on one of his arms and reached out with one hand, since the other one was being wrapped, unconsciously softly touched it. "How did you get this," she asked quietly. Hiei looked down at his arm and paused but then continued on wrapping her arm. Sakura rubbed it, "Does it hurt?"

Hiei had finished wrapping her arm so he stood up and started to leave. Sakura looked down, "where are you going?" There was no answer because Hiei had already left. Sakura sighed and whispered to no one, "sorry." 'I should have kept my mouth shut,' she thought as her eyes slowly drifted close and her body fell onto the couch and she was asleep.

A figure came into the temple and watched as Sakura slept he then went onto the other couch and closed his eyes waiting for the morning to come.

……In the Morning…….

Sakura woke up in an empty temple. She was going to go back home so she left a small note saying she was going to school. Her ankle felt better but she tried her best to not put to much pressure on it. When she arrived home it was cold inside the house. Sakura hugged herself and found that she was still wearing Hiei's jacket, "Why is it so cold in here."

"Mom where are you?" Sakura went into the kitchen and found her mom there with a board look on her face. She was with a man that had a sinister smile on his face. Sakura widened her eyes and recognized him, "Mom get away from him!" Sakura's mom rolled her eyes and just stood there with what looked to be a lot of money in her hands.

Sakura looked at her, "What's going on? Where did all that money come from?" "It's from giving you up, isn't it funny how someone is actually paying money for you" Sakura's eyes filled up with tears, "why mom…I thought-."

"I cared for you? Loved you? I didn't even want you. You're useless never being at home or at school. A complete waste of me...I was going to leave you somewhere but this man offered me money and now he owns you."

Sakura felt horrible but she wasn't going to give up. She started to run but her leg didn't help much. The man smiled at her wickedly as he ran at her and swung his leg under her. As she was falling he elbowed her on her stomach. Sakura coughed up blood as she held her stomach. She looked at her mom who held no emotion.

The man then threw her to a wall and punched her in the stomach a couple of more times. Sakura looked down as her eyes slowly drifted close as she fell onto the ground only hearing laughter.
