Reborn-soul-09: Too much too tell. However, reading is a good thing ::wink, wink::

Sapphire66: Yeah, hormones suck, don't they?

Jaderabbit: Well, I don't see how murder is funny, but as long as you like the story...

Princess Shadowcat: Athena's cool. I like Artemis the best, in case you couldn't tell. What do you mean like to own? I do own them, both Hiei and Kurama! ::runs away from angry fangirls, claiming bishie ownership::

Demonphonix: Yeah, I was kinda...vague, to say the least. It isn't explained in this chapter, though.

Moon Archer: You shouldn't be on the internet that late...Wait, never mind. I was on at midnight last night. ;)

Kuramalovergonecrazy: Were you, like, tired when you wrote that review? It has a heck of a lot less energy than be my imagination...

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho. If I did, that would be a scary thing.

The Girl, The God, and The Demons

Chapter Nine: The Turquoise Invasion

Diana, still in her school uniform, slept restlessly underneath the light of the full moon, a breeze ruffling her short hair playfully as she dreamt of a crazed silver-haired fox, wielding a deadly rose. She awoke abruptly, hearing a rather loud rustle in the nearby trees.

Snapping to her to attention, she said, failing to keep the sleep out of her voice, "W-Who's there? Sh-Show yourself!" She heard more rustling, this time closer to her. She caught a glimpse of a white scarf and leaned recklessly toward the trees, searching relentlessly. She then jumped as she heard a voice beside her.

"You won't find anything in there, onna." Diana turned around abruptly and found herself facing a five-foot-nothing, gothic teenager, whom she hadn't seen in roughly a week.

"H-Hiei....." Her green eyes widened in fear, although she wasn't quite sure why. Something in the air told her that she should be wary, and she trusted the unseen force completely. Hiei smirked at her arrogantly and she continued, much stronger than she felt, "What do you want? I was trying to be alone." She tried to sound angry, but failed miserably, and sounded like a pathetic child, which, in effect, she was. I suck at threats...She thought dismally. Hiei's smirk grew even wider. He, in one smooth movement, drew his katana, and was to the point of killing her, but hesitated; his first mistake.

He sensed some odd spirit energy around her, a faint aura, no different than that of the wind. He looked at Diana, really looked at her, trying to discover the hidden energy. He saw a glint of crimson around her, but other than that, there was nothing. Diana, having closed her eyes, dared to open them a little bit, and saw to her surprise that Hiei was looking at her closely. He literally inches away from her, crimson eyes staring at her dazedly, as if he could never look away.

Diana, in the midst of being utterly freaked out, sensed weakness in Hiei's resolve and took the opportunity; drawing on previously unknown strength, she grabbed the katana's edge and yanked it from Hiei's loose grip. She pushed him to the rough roof forcefully and, kneeling on top of his downfallen body, pressed the sharp steel to his throat.

"What. Do. You. Want." She said angrily, short hair shadowing her eyes, although Hiei could see the hurt in them. I...I can't do it! I can't follow through! Am...I too weak!? The demon thought frantically, hands itching to hold his katana, pinned to his sides by Diana's rather awkward positioning. He tried, still frantic, to think of a way to escape Diana's, and, eventually, Kurama's wrath. However, he couldn't ignore Diana's human features, as her face loomed angrily above his own. He glanced at her reddish-brown hair, which shined golden in the moonlight, shadowing angry emerald eyes. She was still wearing her red school uniform, along with it an old piece of black fabric which Hiei vaguely noticed, smiling a tad. The boy saw her twitch a little, her grip loosening; she could not hold the heavy sword for much longer.

Suddenly, on an unexplained impulse, Hiei leaned upward, allowing the sword to press lightly against his throat, leaving a thin, red line. He then pushed it out of the way, allowing it to roll onto the smooth roof and fall to the ground. Catching Diana off guard, he pushed her weak frame to the ground; her unexplained strength seemed to have evaporated, leaving her defenseless against Hiei's heavily trained muscles. She could have used it; Hiei then touched his lips to hers, wrapping his hands around her struggling head, messing up her hair slightly. If was as if he could not restrain himself; he was soon kissing her passionately, allowing his hands to roam freely, although he knew, deep inside, that he shouldn't. The girl struggled valiantly against his short frame, eventually able to push his tainted hands away, staring at him with a mixture of fear, disbelief, and anger, although anger was chief.

He saw her disheveled appearance and realized at once what he had done, eyes wide with horror. The appalled girl swung her hand forcefully, intending a painful slap, but Hiei disappeared faster than the eye (or at least Diana's eyes) could see. Her hand instead hit a thin pipe, whose purpose she had never identified, and she cursed loudly.

"What the hell!?!? Dammit, Hiei!! How dare you!!! I'll get revenge!!!!" Her eyes stung and she felt a hot sensation on her cheek as she realized that she was crying, although she wasn't quite sure why. She then heard, much to her shock, a melodious voice coming from the shadows.

"Revenge, huh? Ooooh, good girl wants some pay back, does she? Ha, I don't blame you. All men are stupid like that." Diana turned in all directions, frantic as she was unable to find the source, bewildered at its words. She decided instead to retaliate, sounding braver than she felt.

"Where are you, and what are you talking about?!" She hadn't meant that revenge thing; she had just said that in the heat of the moment. The worst I could do is ignore him...She thought, still frantic but slightly crestfallen at her pathetic defenses.

"Ah, yes, but if I take your revenge, I can make it much sweeter. I have issues to resolve, myself. And I have power." The voice laughed, a sweet laugh, melodious like her voice. Diana was still searching for the voice's owner and it added, "Look up here, that's a doll." Diana looked up toward the sky, unsure of the consequences but curious all the same. The last thing she remembered was seeing a semi-transparent shadow, in the vague shape of a curvaceous woman with turquoise eyes, wearing what looked like ancient Greek clothing. It dived down toward her and she watched it enter her body, helpless. She was able to utter a single, helpless word, a plea really, before falling into total darkness.

"Kurama..."

A/N: Ohmigosh! What will happen!? Read, review, and have patience!
