I do not own any anime, book movie, or TV show that is used in this fic. Got it? Good. I'm sorry it took me so long to update, but I've had a lot of things to do lately. Okay. On with chapter 13!

(Chapter 13: Meeting Kuroi again and a fight... Joy)

After Kila had woken up and everyone had semi-settled down, Kila went into her room to take a shower. She found that she was more tired than she would have normally been and couldn't use her right arm at all. Outside, everyone was talking.

"So, Hiei.... Are you going to give her the necklace?" Kurama asked quietly as the two sat away from everyone else in the corner. Hiei nodded briefly.

At that moment, Kat burst into the room with a happy grin plastered on her face. "YES!! I HAVE CAUGHT TASSLEHOFF BURRFOOT!!"

Everyone looked at her in a way that plainly said, "Huh?"

Kila, however, came rushing out of her room and looked around. "Tas? Where?!"

"In his bishie-ball. I see your awake, Kila," Kat said. She grinned even wider and launched herself across the room, latching on to Kila's neck. Kila yelped and fell backwards onto the floor. Everyone laughed.

"'Ey! Get offa me!" Kila said, glaring playfully at Kat.

"And if I don't......?" Kat said, sitting on Kila's stomach to keep her down.

"Then I'll have to deal with you," Hiei said, suddenly towering over Kat, who was practically on the ground. Kat "Meep!"ed and ran to hide behind Trunks, who had just come out.

"Thanks, Hiei," Kila sighed, sitting up. 'Why can't I move my right arm?! WHY?!' Panic was starting to get it's cold grip around Kila's head. She forced herself to remain calm, and looked up at everyone with a bright smile.

"Anyone wanna go bishie-hunting?" She asked, grinning.

"Okay!" A few people said.

It turned out that they split up and went their own different ways. Kila ventured off on her own with Hiei right beside her. Once or twice, she found a bishie, and had Hiei identify it. None of them really sounded interesting to her.

Finally, Kila saw a glimpse of silver through a small whole in the tree leaves. Standing close to a clearing was a Yoko Kurama. Kila brought out a bishie-ball, unaware of Hiei smirking beside her. She threw the bishie-ball at Yoko's head and he was sucked into the ball. It rolled around a little bit, then stopped.

Kila stared at the ball in shock for a moment, then, cautiously, picked up the ball and let Yoko out. Her eyes widened and she poked him slightly. He glared down at her and she grinned up at him.

"Okay, that makes three bishies! WOOHOO!!! YES!" Kila said, doing a little victory dance and earning herself a few strange glances from all her bishies.

"Is she always like this?" Yoko asked, looking over at Hiei.

"No, not normally. She's just really excited, I guess. She's been asleep for far too long," Hiei said, looking over his sister.

"Okay, now to find the others." Kila started to walk away from her bishies, leaving them to race after her. She took out her dex and opened it, calling Sarana and Narina, who were traveling together.

"What's up?" Narina asked as she answered.

"I need you to head back to the hotel for a while. I wanna go check something in a little while and I need you guys to come with me," Kila said, talking swiftly as she felt something growing in the back of her mind.

Narina nodded and hung up. Kila then called everyone else and headed back to the hotel herself.

When everyone got there, Kila noticed that everyone seemed to be asking how Jess got back first.

"Shin took us," was the only reply that poor Jess gave, and everyone nodded and backed off.

"Well, so far, today has been interesting and—Hey, isn't that Yoko Kurama?" Yuko asked her newest bishie that she had just caught, Lenny. Lenny nodded.

"How in the world did you get Yoko Kurama?! I thought he was supposed to be one of the hardest bishies to catch!" Jade said, her eyes wide. (I have no idea if this is true or not, I just made it up :))

"He is?" Kila asked, cocking her head to one side cutely.

"Yes, he is," Jess said. "I haven't seen one in a long time, which is why they are harder to catch. They aren't seen very often and live in solitude."

Kila nodded and looked over her shoulder at Yoko, who merely smiled mysteriously at her. She shook her head and said, "I'm gonna go outside for a little while, okay? See ya." Without even waiting for an answer, she turned on her heel and walked out the door. Her bishies followed her.

Kila ran down the stairs, confused and with a HUGE migraine. She ran outside, but didn't stop. If anyone was to look at her, they only found a blur that was Kila. She felt herself changing, but didn't stop. Soon, she was in the forest in her demon form. (Ooohhhh..... What could have happened to cause the change?? I wonder, no, I know what happened and you don't! Nya nya! ::sticks out her tongue childishly:: )

Hiei and Yoko sped up while Rei returned to his bishie-ball. Yoko caught up to Kila first and saw her in her demon form. His eyes widened and he stopped momentarily, quickly catching up to her again. He saw that she was clutching her head in her left hand—her right was down by her side and he hadn't seen her move it very much yet—and she seemed to be in agony.

He quickly caught her in his arms and hugged her, whispering soothing words into her ears. He knew that if Hiei found her like this, he would have a kitten. (It's an idiom that I like to use a lot :P ) He quickly soothed her before Hiei could find her like this.

Hiei caught up to them and cradled his sister in his arms. She had fallen asleep, unused to so much exsersize. Yoko suddenly felt sorry for this young girl.

"Have any idea what that was all about?" Yoko asked Hiei, watching as the protective older brother held her close and started to walk into the forest's heart. (Into the heart of the forest)

"Unfortunately, no, I do not know what happened," Hiei said, glancing over his should at Yoko. 'Why now? Of all times, why did her demon side have to choose now to come out?'

He glanced down at Kila and saw that she was smiling softly, tears streaming down her face. He looked at Yoko, alarmed, only to find the same expression on Yoko's face.

(In Kila's dream)

Kila watched as a younger version of herself played with a younger, much cuter version of Kuroi. They were tossing a ball back and forth. When Kila failed to catch it and the ball went over by the rose bushes in her backyard, Kuroi walked over and got the ball for her, handing it back to her.

Kila smiled softly, memories rushing into her head. She started crying; she couldn't help it. She was so used to abuse and anger and pain and sorrow that the innocent images and feelings of happiness, playfulness, and fun were painful to her. She cried openly into her hands and watched as one of her fondest memories replayed itself.

Younger Kila and younger Kuroi were swimming with a few friends of theirs when Kila was suddenly surrounded by everyone. They started to chase her as she jumped up and out of the pool. She was laughing and smiling, enjoying every moment. One of the boys caught up to her and was about to catch her, had it not been for her friends. Everyone laughed as the boy was sent tumbling into the pool. Kila took this time to escape down the hill in her backyard.

Kila (The real one that's dreaming) was smiling and laughing, yet crying at the same time. She felt something rip through the dreams, and saw Kuroi (the older one that wants to kill Kila) standing before her, in the Black Robes of Evil. Kila's eyes widened.

"Now, it seems, we have become what we were born to be," Kuroi said quietly, not taking his blazing eyes from his sister's. "And now would be the ideal time for a fight."

"NOT HERE, YOU IDIOT!!" Kila yelled, her voice echoing. "WE'RE IN MY HEAD, DUMBO! WE CAN'T FIGHT IN MY HEAD!"

"Exactly," Kuroi said evilly, a smirk on his face. "You have the upper hand, however. You can heal yourself here and can create anything you wish..... All you have to know is how to control it."

"You mean like this?" Kila asked as Kuroi was hurled against the wall and knocked unconscious. Kila snorted. "Never tell a girl something that may give her the upper hand, because she'll use it to the fullest extent."

(Outside of Kila's head)

Hiei looked down at Kila as an insane grin spread over her face. Then she woke up.

"Hey, Hiei. What's up?" Kila asked, looking up at Hiei.

"You're still in your demon form," Yoko observed wryly, looking over Hiei's shoulder.

"Got a problem with that, fox-boy?" Kila asked menacingly, glaring at Yoko.

"Just observing!" Yoko said, smiling slightly.

Hiei sighed. 'Oh, boy. If these two are gonna fight all day then I'm going back to the hotel.' Hiei started to run back to the hotel, Kila still in his arms.

Yoko yelped slightly and ran after them, catching up quickly. They ran side by side, Kila squished in the middle. Well, not really squished, but it was kind of uncomfortable.

Kila squirmed a bit in Hiei's arms, wanting to run for herself. Hiei stopped for a brief moment to set her down, then started running again. Kila raced after him, finding it easier to keep up with him. She grinned as she passed her two bishies, bouncing from tree branch to tree branch when she jumped up.

"Ack!" Yoko said as Kila dumped a few leaves on him, along with a few sticks. "What was that for?!?!"

"Fun," Kila said, grinning and going to the hotel. She stopped in front of the doors, waiting for her bishies to get there.

Yoko came first and was already inside when a local thug tried to catch Kila, since she looked so much like a bishie now.

"Itai!!" Kila said as she nursed her head. (Okay, I do not own the part where a half bishie is repeatedly trying to be caught. Lady Demoonica Darkmoon owns that from her bishie-world story!!) "What is up with these people?!" Kila muttered.

"So, you're not a bishie," the leader of the thugs said, stepping forward. "How about we have a friendly little match?"

"What are the stakes?" Kila asked, bored. She knew that there had to be something involved in this, otherwise, they wouldn't have bothered.

"If we win, you come with us to see a person that wants to see you," The leader sneered.

"And if I happen to win, which is more than likely to happen, then you have to get out of my sight and hope that I never see you again, 'cause if I do, you will wish you had never met me," Kila said, still rather bored. "And I'll tell you what. You can use any bishies or anything that you like. I'll fight for myself. How about it?"

"Sure," The leader said, grinning in anticipation. "Let's not fight here, though. Let's go somewhere else."

Kila followed the men, privately thinking, 'Okay, this should be easy. All I have to do is draw my sword and knock them all unconscious. Then I leave after watching the thugs scramble away from me in fear. Heh.'

The thugs led her to a deserted building. It looked like it used to be something like a school, only it was badly out of shape. The walls were crumbling, there was writing on the walls, and half of the roof was gone.

"Where is this place?" Kila asked.

"It used to be a hotel. It was destroyed by a fight one day, and now the only inhabitants are ghosts and thugs," The leader said, surprisingly, apparently knowing everything that had happened.

"Alright. So this is where we are going to fight, eh? Sounds fine to me!" Kila said, getting in a fighting position. The leader smirked and opened a bishie-ball, revealing a Kenshin, in Battosai stage.

Kenshin drew his sword and charged at Kila, who ducked and elbowed Kenshin in the gut. She then punched him across the face and backed up a bit, drawing her own sword.

The sound of metal meeting metal rang through the building. Soon, many people were watching the fight. Kila had a few scratches, and one particularly bad gash on her right arm, which didn't matter because she couldn't use her right arm anyway! She slashed at Kenshin, getting him across the face.

The fight continued for a while, until, finally, Kenshin fell over in a dead faint.

The leader called him back and sent out a Karasu. Kila growled and bared her fangs at the Karasu. 'This calls for desperate measures,' Kila thought to herself.

She started to gather her spirit in her left hand, forming a flaming ball that heated her and healed her wounds.

Karasu's eyes widened as he watched her actions. He started to back away. Too late. Kila threw the flaming ball at him and knocked out more than half of the people and bishies gathered around. She was now leaning on her sword for support.

The leader sent out one more person; Toya. (The guy from Ceres). Toya had his gun in his hand and Kila looked up, exhausted. Toya looked at her for a moment before aiming his gun at her. Kila looked down, then moved too fast for normal human eyes to follow. She knocked the gun from Toya's hand and gave him one sharp blow to the back of the head with the hilt of her katana. She then sank to the floor, panting.

Kila smiled very slightly as she watched the rest of the people that were conscious back away from her, then turn and run as fast as they could. Kila's smiled faded as she saw Hiei in a tree and she went back to her human form. 'Hiei is not going to be happy with me,' Kila thought, gulping.

Hiei jumped down in front of her and frowned at her.

"What where you thinking?!" Hiei asked, glaring at Kila very slightly.

"I-I don't know. I was in my demon form, as you know, and I just had the desire to fight something and check out if I was much different in this form than I am as I am now, I guess," Kila said, looking down.

Hiei's eyes softened and he slipped the necklace that he had gotten for Kila around her neck.

Kila looked up at Hiei, then down at the necklace. She smiled and hugged Hiei, crying softly into his cloak.

Hiei took off his cloak and wrapped it around Kila, seeing her shiver. He then picked her up and flitted back to the hotel.

Yoko was waiting in Kila's room when Hiei came up to the window and knocked. He quickly opened the window and let Hiei in. Hiei set Kila down on the bed and stepped back.

Yoko took out one of his plants and started to clean Kila's wounds. She, however, wouldn't let him near her right arm. She even growled at him and nearly bit him. (Couldn't resist!! ::Sniggers:: )

Yoko finally had Hiei pin down Kila while he looked at it. (Her right arm) However, when he went to touch it, Kila flinched away, pain and fear in her eyes.

"What is it?" Yoko asked, looking over at Hiei.

"Don't touch my right arm," Kila hissed, her eyes tightly shut.

Then, Hiei remembered. "Yoko, let me do this," He said. When Yoko looked at him, Hiei merely said, "She trusts me more and she can't use her right arm, her best arm. She feels weak and helpless right now, so I think it is best to let me bandage her arm."

Yoko nodded and walked out the door. Hiei sat down beside Kila and held out his hand. She looked at him, then at his hand, then at her arm. She sighed and moved over so that Hiei could get to her arm easily.

Hiei smiled slightly as he bandaged her. 'I wonder how she would like to go train....?'

At that moment, Sarana came into the room and said, "Hiei, could you come here for a minute?"

Hiei followed her out to the living room where everyone was.

"So, Hiei, do you think that Kat should come with us when we leave tomorrow?" Narina asked.

"I should go, but I can't," Kat said sadly. "I'm the gym leader, remember?"

"So?" Hiei asked. "Just let someone else take over for a little while and then you can come with us."

"Alright, I suppose," Kat said.

"As long as Tas doesn't come, I'm fine with that," Yoko said.

"But I have to come!" Tas said indignantly. "Think of all the trouble you'll get into without me!"

Kila, who had just come out of her room, fell into a chair, laughing. She was grinning at Tas and said, "Think of all the trouble we'll get into with you, Tas!"

Tas smiled at her and then said, "You'd get into trouble either way, so I might as well go with!"

Kila grinned and said, glancing at a clock, "We should go to bed if we are going to be up in the morning to go tomorrow!"

Jade and Maria nodded, going off into their room. Jess grinned at her Aragorn, who was wearing a dress (IT WASN'T ME!! IT WAS ALL HER IDEA!! NO HITTING ME, MEAN PEOPLE!!) Kila burst out laughing again.

The rest of them trooped out until Kila was alone with her bishies. "Well," She said, "time to go to bed now, boys. See ya in the morning."

Kila lay down on her bed and fell asleep almost instantly.
