"Get up"

Kira opened her eyes groggily. Upon seeing Raiko in front of her, she scowled then straightened up.

"What the hell do you want now?"

Raiko just smirked and remove her chains, as usual leaving her cuffs on. Those cuffs allow him to block out Kira's energy whenever he wishes. Prodding the girl in front of him to make her walk, he smirked wider when he thought of the power he will soon have in his hands.

'Damn it' Kira thought as she walked slowly ahead of Raiko. It has been a week since she is here. Or was it more then a week? Kira couldn't remember. All she knows is that she misses her friends terribly. Especially a certain fire apparition although she sure as hell isn't going to admit it.

Kira just walked grumpily without saying anything. Stupid cuffs. If it weren't for those, Raiko would definitely be dead. Looking ahead, she caught sight of their destination. She groaned mentally at the pit in the ground, not again.

Kira stopped at the edge and peered down, trying to decipher how many demons she has to fight this time. She is aware that Raiko wants to release the power of the jewel in her as her father has once told her about what he had sealed in her. If she could, she would have unleashed the power in it to defeat Raiko. Unfortunately, she doesn't know how.

Yelping when Raiko kicked her down, Kira stood up indignantly and yelled angrily to the figure on top.

"Son of a-!"

She was rewarded with a pebble chucked at her head missing narrowly. Kira scowled then look at the other figure who was in the pit with her.

"You want me to fight my…" Kira trailed off staring at Akio. How can she? Does Raiko really expect her to fight Akio?

Raiko landed with a soft thud behind her and grinned when Kira looked at him with deep hatred.

"You won't fight him?" He grinned even more. "Fine. Then you die. Akio. Kill your sister." He then laughed at the look on Kira's face.

'Shit' Kira thought miserably as she avoids the lance coming at her. 'I can't kill my own brother…Even though technically he's dead…' Her thought was cut off as Akio's fist connected with her stomach. The force was powerful enough to throw her off her feet and into the side of the pit. She refuses to retaliate as Akio landed blows after blows on her with his lance and fist. She just couldn't bear to hurt her brother.

Kira looked up at Akio as he advanced slowly to her. Sad, pleading blue eyes meet cold, lifeless red ones. 'He is no longer Akio. He's just a mindless puppet under Raiko.' Kira realized unhappily after receiving many injuries from him. 'This is Raiko's doing, not his…' Her eyes shut, one tear escaping as she stood up and made her decision.

Kira's eyes flew opened as Akio charged at her. Anger flashed through them as she drew her katana.

Raiko laughed maliciously under his breath as Kira retaliated and started tapping into the jewel's power to obtain enough power to match Akio regardless of the cuffs on her. He laughed louder when Akio crashed into the dirt floor, enjoying the power emanating from Kira due to her anger. In his happiness, Raiko failed to realize the cracks beginning to show on the metal cuffs on her wrists and ankles.

"I'm sorry." Looking at the figure in the ground with cold yet sad eyes, Kira raised her katana and plunge it towards Akio's neck.

Akio's lifeless body collapsed and crumpled on the floor. The pain of losing her brother shot through her heart once more. Kira smiled sadly, at least his dead body won't be controlled.

Raiko cursed as the silver chain around Akio's neck broke and fell down, revealing a necklace with a red orb as a pendant. He has used that to gain control over Akio's dead body. Now that it's detached from Akio, he can no longer control his body.

Energy still flaring, Kira turned to Raiko. Tapping into the power of the jewel in her, she turned into her demon form. Black with blue tips ears and tail revealed themselves. Her canines lengthened, poking slightly out of her lips. Instead of nails, long sharp claws adorned her hands. Her eyes remained the same defiant blue, except her pupils turned a bright silver, giving her an intimidating look. Dark navy stripes ran through her arms, legs and sides of her face.

Smirking at her although he is secretly fearing her inside, Raiko pressed a control that was suppose to block out Kira's power via the cuffs on her wrists and ankles.

Kira smirked right back, walking purposefully towards Raiko. Her smirk widened when Raiko's smirk is replaced with a frantic look and he jabbed furiously at his control. By wielding the power from the jewel, Kira has managed to short-circuit the cuffs. Laughing slightly, Kira lifted her hands slightly. Her eyes flashed with amusement at the look on Raiko's face when her cuffs fell off.

"Die"

Kira's hands pulsed with energy. Her eyes glowed a dark blue as she summoned her powers. The temperature at the pit they were in drop drastically. Ice covered the sides and bottom. A strong gale blew in, carrying with it small sharp icicles. Raiko winced as he stumbled from the force of the wind and icicles cut small yet deep cuts on him.

One hand stretched towards Raiko, large glaciers of ice jabbed up from the floor in a line, steadily going towards him. Running wildly like a mad man, Raiko tried desperately to escape the deadly glaciers erupting after him. He doesn't have enough power to overcome Kira's power. His only power is manipulation. For some reason, Kira's mind's defense is too high for him to penetrate and manipulate her. Basically, he's screwed.

Kira's eyes hardened as she watched the jagged, deadly glacier skewered the man who screwed up her life. His final scream rang loud and clear, bringing satisfaction to her heart. 'Good riddance." Walking forward and picking up her brother's body. Her eyes glared hatefully at Raiko. 'I should have made that asshole suffer longer before killing him.'

Turning her back against the sight of Raiko's blood coating everything, she leapt from the pit and walked stoically out of the hellhole she has been kept in for the past week.

"Damn." Kira growled as she placed Akio gently down on the ground. His grave is dug up messily. Dirt and bits of grass is strewn all over the place, including on top of their parent's grave.

Biting her tongue to prevent herself from bursting into a long string of vulgarities, she sighed then start to clear the mess and return Akio to his resting-place.

"It hurts…" Kira said softly as she re-buried Akio. She pressed one hand against the left side of her chest. "It hurts much more then when I was tortured."

The ground starts to dampen as Kira slowly ran her hands over the carved letters of her brother's tombstone.

"Akio Lorien. Age 21. Beloved son and brother." Kira repeated the words softly as she traced the short and simple inscribing on the smooth stone.

Standing up and wiping at her eyes, she laid one hand on each of her parents' tombstones. She always did have problems expressing how she felt inside. It's not that she don't want to, it is because she don't know how to.

"Why did all of you leave me?" Kira whispered as she looked sorrowfully at the three resting-places. "Physical pain I can handle, but emotional…"

Stepping to the border of the graves, Kira bit her lip at the heavy and suffocating pain her heart is going through. She then touched the ground at the edge of the graves and gave a small sad smile when a clear blue barrier is raised around the three resting-places. It shimmered for a moment before fading, invisible to all.

"No one touches my family. Rest in peace mother, father, Akio…"

Hiei scowled bitterly as he shifted from his seat. He and the other three detectives are in Kira's house. Koenma had suggested they look through her house for anything that might lead to where Kira disappeared to.

He watched with irritation from the window as the idiot looked in the most ridiculous places. In the fridge, in the bathtub etc.

Kurama has gone upstairs to search, along with Yusuke. Hiei glared at Kuwabara's back as the boy peered under the table. Damn the fox. Why couldn't he have taken the idiot upstairs as well?

"Hey shrimp! Are you going to sit down there the whole day long? Don't you care about Kira!"

Replied with a hn, the human boy crossed his eyes at the fire apparition. 'And I thought he likes her. Looks like he doesn't even give a damn. Expected from the cold, heartless midget.'

"Watch what you are thinking ningen"

"Don't read my mind shrimp! Besides! What I said, er think, is true anyway! You're probably just scared of showing your feelings! Kira deserves someone better then you!"

Hiei narrowed his eyes at Kuwabara. Him? Scared of showing feelings? Hiei growled softly as he un-sheathed his katana. His eyes shot to the bottom of the stairs where Yusuke and Kurama stood. Kuwabara was regretting what he just said and was shifting uncomfortably.

"Hn" He grunted softly as he sheathed back his katana. Hurt flashed briefly through his eyes although none of them saw it. Does Kira really deserve someone other then him? Is that... what all of them think?

"Hiei." Kurama started softly as Yusuke whacked Kuwabara over the head for saying what he said. "Kuwabara doesn't mean-"

The ruby eyes returned to their cold, indifferent state. "Hn. I don't need an explanation fox." Turning his back to them, he started for the door. "This is a waste of my time. I'm going."

Opening the door, he was greeted by the girl who was constantly on his mind for the past week. The blue-haired wolf slumped tiredly on him, one eye opened slightly and her lips twitched into a tired smile.

"Missed me? …" Was all that came out before she falls into a deep sleep, trusting herself to be completely safe in Hiei's arms.

The fight scene sucks. I'm sorry, but I'm horrible at writing fights. Thanks to anyone who reviewed. Sorry I didn't give individual reviews replies, i dunno what to say except thanks?
