Disclaimer: Since these are so boring I'm going to have Hiei do it…or else.

Hiei: Hn. Why do I have to do the stupid disclaimer?

Me: Because I say so.

Hiei: ……

Me: anytime now…

Hiei: ……

Me: sighs Fine I guess I'll just have to make you run around in a pink ballerina outfit for awhile.

Hiei: You couldn't…

Me: I'm a fanfic author with you in it. I can do whatever I want with you…

Hiei: gulps Okay! She doesn't own Yu Yu Hakusho or anything to do with it, nor is she making money from this…happy now?

Me: Yep!

That's right people. This is the result of when I'm bored at home. Poor Hiei…. Anywho. Ooooooooooon with the chapter! A bit fluffy so watch out.

Tear of Blood

Chapter V

Over the next hour, Yumi and Hiei were very busy. They put shaving cream on Yuske and Kuwabara's hands, around their feet and faces and took the hair gel they stole from Yuske's room, and spiked their hair. Then they took the bowls from the kitchen, put hot water in them, and put Yuske and Kuwabara's hands in them in the hopes that the boys might just wet themselves. Unfortunately they had no such luck.

After that, Yumi took the pleasure of putting the makeup on their faces. She used bright, fire engine-red lipstick, extremely pink blush, dark blue eye shadow, and of course the mascara (she had an extremely tough time putting that on). When they were finished with that, they made about a dozen water bombs putting them in select places that would certainly fall on the two when they tried to run after them.

With everything finished and planned out, and after they used feathers to make Kuwabara and Yuske get in the shaving cream, Hiei and Yumi got the camera and took some pictures. After the pictures were taken and the camera safely in Yumi's room, they decided it was time to wake them up. Yumi healed their bumps and bruises and pinched them.

"Ouch! What the...!" Kuwabara yelled. He and Yuske got up which only caused them get into more shaving cream and release some of the water bombs.

"Awe, look at what you did. You made all the pretty make up bleed." Yumi said sarcastically. She held up a mirror to their faces so they could see. Hiei took another picture of them using a different camera. The expressions on the two's faces were hilarious. Yuske and Kuwabara screamed.

"Time to go," Hiei said picking up Yumi-she was too busy laughing to run. In a flash they were gone. Yuske and Kuwabara ran after them only to trick off the mother load of all water bombs.

"YUMI!"

"HIEI!" they sputtered.

xoxoxoxox

Hiei dropped off Yumi in his room and locked the door. Yumi was still cracking up, basically rolling on the floor. Hiei was laughing as well.

"That was great! Sweet, sweet revenge!" she laughed. "I haven't had this much fun in ages!" When she caught her breath she took a look at his room. It had black walls and black iron shelves and dressers. He had only one body mirror in the corner of the room. There was a statue of a dragon and swords hung on the walls along with some knives. He had a king-sized bed with red covers and black pillows.

"Nice room," she commented.

"Hn. Thanks...I guess..." he said taking a seat on his bed.

"What do you mean I guess?" she said. "It's your room." She took a seat beside him.

"The first time I saw your room I thought it looked like mine," Hiei said gesturing around him. Yumi took a good look. It did remind her of her own room...

"I guess your right." she shrugged. "No wonder we like each other's rooms," she turned and smiled at him. He smirked back, then Yumi took on a serious look. "Hiei, I have to tell you something. I've been meaning to tell you it for awhile now."

"What?" he asked. For reasons unknown to him, he started to feel nervous and anxious.

"I knew...I knew that Yukina was your sister because I sort of...went into your mind."

"What!" he shouted, standing up. If she had gone into his mind then she would certainly know some of his deepest, darkest secrets. He couldn't have that.

"Look, I'm trying to say that I'm sorry!" she yelled back. She stood up too so that she was facing him. He tried to look away, but she grabbed him and made him look her in the eyes. "Hiei, are you...are you the Forbidden Child?" she asked. He looked down at the floor then looked back into her eyes. Ever since she had went snooping in his mind she couldn't help but ponder about what she had seen.

"Yes," he mumbled.

Yumi let him go, astonished. She couldn't take what she saw in his eyes: pain, sorrow, loneliness... possibly anger now. She only thought that he could have been the child she had heard about; it seemed to be the only possibly explanation--the fire demon that was born into the ice colony and left for dead.

"I...I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to...I didn't even know for sure. I...I only suspected. I'm sorry..." she sat down on the bed again and put her head in her hands. She couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She always thought that the story was one of complete and utter sadness. When she was little she could relate to his story in many ways. It gave her comfort that someone else was…sort of in her kind of situation. But then again, she had always had her sister there.

Hiei was still standing; he sighed. "Don't worry about it." he sat down beside her. She looked at him, letting a silent tear slide down her cheek. "Don't cry for me." he whispered wiping the tear away. Why does she have to care? Why did she care? She was clearly a puzzle to him.

"S...shouldn't you be angry with me?" she stuttered. She'd never be able to understand him...

"I never told anybody before, so few people actually know. And I was angry..." she looked away from him. I'm such an idiot! I shouldn't have gone through his mind like that... She thought. Hiei, of course, heard her thoughts. "I was mad that you so easily figured it out." he grinned as he lifted her chin up. "You're too smart for your own good." She smiled back.

Besides, how could I ever be disappointed in you? You're one of the only people who seem to care. he said in her head.

"Yeah...Guess I am...Sunshine."

Hiei laughed. "Shorty." That's when they heard the pounding on the door. "Looks like dumber and dumberer has found us."

"Hiei I won't tell anybody." He nodded.

"Thanks." His usually expressionless face formed a slight smile for what seemed to him the billionth time. He didn't know what it was about her that made him open up and actually talk, but he kind of liked it; even if he was confused by all the emotions raging through him in only a few short days. He'd definitely have to think some more about what was going on with himself.

"Yumi, Hiei!" they heard the muffled screams from behind the door. "We know you're in there!" Yumi and Hiei tried to stifle their laughter.

What should we do? Yumi asked him.

We should probably try to sneak past them somehow...

Okay, I have an idea

What? Yumi looked at the window in his room. No way...

Yes way! Come on! I don't think they'll hesitate to tear down you're door. Hiei looked at his door; It was started to shake from the pressure of the two pounding on it.

You're right.

Of course I am. she grinned.

You go ahead first. Hiei told her. I'll unlock the door and jump after you.

It would be a plan, but you forgot something. She held up their handcuffed hands.

Oh, right. Then we'll just have to do it together. So, they quietly ran to the door, which was still being pounded on by Kuwabara and Yuske, and unlocked it. In a flash they had jumped out the window. Yumi landed on all fours like a cat, making Hiei do the same. They ran off into the flower garden that Kurama and Aya were working on.

xoxoxoxoxox

In the flower garden Kurama and Aya were putting the finishing touches on their garden. It looked awesome. Since it was the human world, they were forbidden to put any demon plants in, much to Aya's disappointment. She had argued with Botan about it until Kurama made her a new plant in her room. It was now her most loved plant, besides the rose she always kept tucked behind her ear that Kurama had given her before.

The garden had beautiful red, pink, and white roses everywhere. The roses were five feet tall and entwined over the fences that they had installed. There was a little pond with huge gold fish in it in the middle of the garden and swinging benches that had flowers entwined down them as well. All in all, it looked like a peace of heaven come to earth.

Yumi, and even Hiei, admired the beauty that had only taken Kurama and Aya a day to create. It didn't take long for them to find Kurama and Aya since they spotted another rose bush popping up in the corner. Within minutes it was as tall and bushy as if it had grown under careful care for years. Aya smiled as she and Kurama stood up.

"Another job well done," she said brushing off her jeans. Kurama smiled.

"It's amazing what we can do together," he said as he too stood up. "It would've taken me days and a lot of energy if I had tried this by myself."

"Same here," she said taking a big whiff of a pink rose. Then she spotted Yumi and Hiei walking towards them. "Hi guys!" she yelled after them.

"Hey," Yumi greeted. "Nice job on the garden. You two make a really good team."

"Thanks, so do you two."

"Hn?" Hiei looked at her questionably. Aya didn't say anything, she only smiled. Kurama was the one to speak up.

"Hiei, what she means is that you two...uhh...create a lot of mischief together..." he smiled, pleased with his explanation.

Aya… are you trying to scare him off or something?

Of course not... she replied.

"Not that we don't like having you guys here or anything, but why are you here?" Aya asked her sister.

"Oh, us? We were just...uhh passing through...that's all" she laughed nervously. Aya raised her eyebrows.

"Right..."

"There they are!" they all turned to see Yuske and Kuwabara stampeding through the garden. By now, they had each cleaned up their faces-much to Hiei and Yumi's disappointment-but they were still wet.

"Speaking of passing through...See ya!" Yumi said trying to pull Hiei along with her out of the garden. Aya stepped in her way.

"I hope those pictures were worth it," she laughed, finally understanding why they had come. Yumi smiled and nodded her head while Hiei held up the pictures recently taken. Aya and Kurama cracked up as soon as they laid eyes on it. "Yes, yes. They definitely were!" Aya laughed. At this time, Yuske and Kuwabara finally managed to catch up to them.

"You midgets are going to pay!" Kuwabara growled.

"You know...Stupid people really shouldn't be allowed to breathe..." Hiei said to Yumi. Yumi nodded.

"What was that? You wanna die!"

Hiei glared at him. "You can try." Kuwabara started to charge up his energy sword.

Hey, Aya? Yumi asked inside her sister's head. Yeah, what?

You know, I thought I saw Kuwabara and Yuske tear down some of those rose bushes...

"WHAT!" Aya suddenly screamed out loud. She made dozens of vines come up through the ground and wrap themselves around Kuwabara and Yuske's feet and arms. They struggled to get out, but to no avail.

"AYA, what was that for!" Yuske screamed. Yumi smiled knowingly.

"You. Destroyed. My. Flowers..." she hissed.

"What! NO! We...we didn't...oh man...please don't hurt us..." Aya smiled evilly and conjured arather large demonplant.

"Oh, Spike..." she called. The plant then fully emerged from the ground. It was six feet tall with spikes all along its vines. It had three purple heads with dozens of razor sharp teeth. The plant drooled what appeared to be saliva from its mouth, but as it came into contact with the ground it burned, sizzled, and left dead, dry spots where grass use to be. Yuske and Kuwabara turned ashen pale and gulped simultaneously. Hiei and Yumi smiled while Kurama rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"Now, I'll make you a deal. You two call it even between you guys and Yumi and Hiei and I won't let spike slowly digest your body parts...Limb. From. Limb. Besides, you two had it comin'," Yuske and Kuwabara nodded their heads slowly, afraid that if they moved too suddenly the plant would attack. "Good, now get out of my sight and watch the flowers!" She let the vines untangle from their feet and arms. In a matter of minutes the two were gone, but they watched where they were stepping on the way out.

"Nice," Yumi commented. Aya smiled as she walked over to her pet and petted it on the head. It started to purr. "Aya..." Aya froze. "Did you use some of my genes to make your new pet?" Aya slowly nodded. She laughed nervously as she attempted to hide behind Kurama. Yumi growled. "WHAT did I say about using MY genes to make mutant makai plants?"

"Umm...not to get caught doing it?" Yumi growled again. "P-please don't hurt me sis...Besides, you owe me...I just got rid of Yuske and Kuwabara for you." Yumi didn't stop slowly moving toward her sister. "Yumi, we can't get into a fight now...Hiei's still attached to you and Kurama to me."

"And your point being..." she growled as she turned into her demon form.

"Eeep!" Aya shrieked.

"Now, girls," Kurama said putting his hands up. "I really have to agree with Aya, you shouldn't have to drag Hiei and me into the fight as well..." Yumi didn't stop. Now Hiei was getting a little nervous. He had seen too many of the girls' fights and it wasn't pretty. He wasn't too fond of the idea of actually being in the middle of one.

While he was trying to figure something out he heard Aya's voice in his head. Hiei! Hiei!

Hn. What do you want. he asked annoyed.

I know how you can stop her.

This interested him. How?

Okay, here's the plan. All you have to do is scratch her back.

...What.

Just trust me. Remember when she scratched me behind the ears in my Yoko form?

Hn.

Exactly, it's her weakness. That and under her chin...

Fine. he finished the conversation by forcing her out of his mind.

Geez...he never does that with Yumi... she thought to herself. She shrugged it off as she watched to see if he would actually do it.

He did.

He started to scratch her back only a little and it actually made her stop. He started to scratch a little harder then started to hear something. They all heard it, she was purring! She was purring loudly by now and smiling. Being half cat she started to take on her animal instincts, that is, she turned around and laid her head on Hiei's chest slightly rubbing herself against him. It was too much for Kurama and Aya to control their laughter. Hiei was still scratching her with a smirk on his face, and blushing furiously, until she suddenly opened her eyes and looked up at him. She pushed him off of her and turned to her sister.

"You little... YOU TOLD HIM! She yelled. Aya was still laughing with Kurama. "You little wench." Aya walked over to her sister and scratched her under the chin. Yumi started to purr again.

"Now, now little kitty." she laughed. "I had to get back at you for embarrassing me in front of Kurama that one time!" Yumi opened her eyes and through her sister off. She started to hiss at Aya. "Hey, hey, settle down. Let's just call it even between us. You embarrassed me using my weak point and I you." Yumi stopped hissing.

"Fine, but put away your plant. This is the Ningen world." she shook her sister's hand and broke the spell that had conjured the plant there. Then, Yumi wretched her hand free. "On second thought..." she said as she walked over to the pond dragging Hiei with her. She held her hand above the water and made her claws longer and sharper. Aya gasped and Hiei stepped back a little. Yumi watched the water then, suddenly, as fast as lightening she stuck her hand in the water and came back up with one of the largest fish. It helplessly wobbled in her claws. "We are not even yet... You used two of my weaknesses; therefore I shall make you watch as I eat one of your pets."

"No!" Aya yelled, she tried to go after her sister, but Kurama held her back. Aya looked up at Kurama who just shook his head. She too knew she was helpless on this matter and quietly quit struggling. Yumi smiled, then she suddenly screamed as she stuck her claws sharper into the fish. She held up her left hand which was slightly bleeding. This time, Aya smiled.

"Oh, I forgot. Their demon fish..." she snickered. Yumi only dug her claws in deeper and licked the blood off from her hand. Then, she ripped the fish in half; she quickly ate one piece and the other as quickly as the first. Kurama and Hiei's jaws dropped. Aya only screamed as Yumi casually licked her fingers clean and ran her lips over her mouth getting the juices off.

Wow...Hiei thought. Yumi transformed back into her human form and walked away without a word leaving her sister to mourn.

xoxoxoxoxox

"I can't believe she actually did it..." Kurama thought out loud as he followed Aya up the stairs. Aya didn't say anything, she only kept on going. When she finally reached her destination, Kurama let out a little sigh. They were in front of Yumi's door. "What are you doing Aya?" He asked as she held her hand up to the door. She looked at Kurama innocently as the door swung open.

"She's down stairs watching a movie with everyone, right?" Kurama nodded. "We found this door open, didn't we Kurama?" he smiled sheepishly and nodded again as she glared at him.

She dragged him into Yumi's room and started to fire up her wind powers. Everything started to whirl around the room-Yumi's under garments, clothes, swords, everything. Then, something caught Aya's eye. It was Yumi drawing notebook. It landed at her feet open to one of the pages. It was one of the drawings of Hiei Yumi had drawn. It was of him using his technique Dragon of the Darkness Flame.

"That's interesting..." Aya mumbled. She had no idea that her sister was that good of a drawer. She continued to flip through the pages. Nearly all of them were of Hiei or dragons. She smiled slowly as a plan formed in her head. The wind stopped around her and she led a very confused Kurama out of her sister's room.

xoxoxoxoxox

Down stairs, Yumi was enjoying a movie with Yuske and Kuwabara. Yumi found that they weren't that bad once you got to know them. Kuwabara was stupid, but occasionally funny and Yuske was just funny. Evidently Yuske and Kuwabara no longer had any ill feelings towards her and Hiei anymore. They said that they didn't need all the demons in the house trying to kill them.

Hiei hadn't wanted to watch the movie, but Yumi made him. Surprisingly, he seemed to be actually enjoying the movie as well (it was a horror movie) that is, until Aya ran down the stairs yelling Yumi's name.

"What do you want now?" Yumi tiredly asked. Her sister held up her drawing notebook making Yumi freeze. Yuske looked back at them.

"Hey Yumi, isn't that your drawing notebook?" he asked. Yumi looked back at him.

"Uhh... Yeah it is, just continue to watch the movie and tell me what I miss."

"But we could just pause it..."

"NO! Umm... I mean thanks, but I wouldn't want you guys to wait for Me." she smiled at them then grabbed her sister's hand dragging her all the way out into the garden. Kurama and Hiei had no choice but to follow.

What's going on Kurama? Hiei asked telepathically.

To tell you the truth, I have no clue myself...

Hn. What's that Aya's holding?

Again, I have to say I really don't know. Aya kind of left me in the dark this time...

Hn. Yumi finally managed to make it to the garden where she let go of Aya. By now it was after dinner and dark outside. The full moon cast a beautiful white glow to the surroundings.

"Ow, now, now, now, don't be so harsh. You wouldn't want to see a certain someone get their hands on this..." she said holding up Yumi's notebook. Again, Yumi froze.

"Give it back, Aya...Please," Yumi forced through clenched teeth. Aya smiled.

"Oh no, no, first, we have to make a little agreement."

"What sort of agreement?" Yumi asked her teeth still clenched shut. Hiei and Kurama were watching, very interested as to what was going on. Yumi and Aya could feel their stares which only made Yumi more skittish and Aya more pleased.

"Give me your pendant and I'll give it back to you, once I've gotten mine back." Yumi stroked her beloved pendant gingerly before taking it off and throwing it to her sister. Aya caught it with one hand and threw the notebook over to her sister. The notebook landed on the ground at Yumi's feet, opened. Much to Yumi's thanks, it landed on a picture of a dragon and not Hiei. She quickly gathered it and tucked it under her arm.

Hiei and Kurama had both saw the picture and were amazed. They were shocked by her uncanny talent and the fact that she gave over her pendant just for the drawing notebook.

"Pleasure doing business with you," Aya said as she turned around and followed Kurama back into the house. Before she closed the door, Aya turned back around and called after Hiei. "You might want to take a look at her drawings! They're really good and realistic!" Yumi flinched, but Hiei didn't catch it.

Yumi hugged the notebook closely before she too, turned around and began to go inside. However, Hiei caught her arm and stopped her.

"What was that all about?" he asked. Yumi looked at the ground.

"None of your business, I just don't like it when people look at my drawings," she mumbled. Hiei raised his eyebrow.

Don't even try it... she warned telepathically. You'll only hurt yourself if you try to get into my mind right now... He immediately quit trying.

"Fine. Let's go," he said leading the way into the house.

"If I know my sister, I'll probably have to clean up my room..." she warned Hiei. He only sighed.

Okay you guys. I really wanted to put this chapter with the next one, but then it'd be way too long. So, I settled for this little thing to be its own plotless chapter. Oh well. Hopefully this next one will be better 'cause I know this ones royally stinks. It's a bit fluffy…still…could you review? Constructive critism is much appreciated. Thanks!
