Hello my awesome reviewers! Okay well my chapters are becoming hard to write again but I'm not going to say anything about that. It's Christmas holiday and that means it's becoming closer and closer to a REALLY important date for me! Anyway enough about that onto the chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own YYH of course though I do own Ash and all my other OC's and stuff! But not YYH

Chapter… something: the different sides

Ash came into the house with a happy expression on her face. "What got you happy so suddenly?" Kuwabara asked as she sat back down where she had been before.

"I can't tell you." She said in a very happy tone, instantly the two came over to where she sat, "what is it?"

"Yeah you can tell us we keep good secrets!" Kuwabara put a stupid smile on his face, "nope sorry Hiei doesn't want me to tell anyone." They were silent for a moment both giving her black looks.

"You know that's going to make us want to know more right?" Yusuke asked. "Yeah, and you know I'm going to make you suffer still right?" She asked. Their look fell slightly, as Kurama walked into the room.

"Ash?" He looked confused. "Your energy feels different, are you okay?" She looked at the red head in question and then down at her hands, "I sort of feel different why?"

Her came over to her and took out a small seed. "I want you to swallow this, just like a pill okay?" He held out the small brown seed for her to take. "Okay!" She took it as directed while the two guys on either side of her continued to look blankly at her.

"Jeez, if Ryu really wanted to kill you all he had to do was give you a pill to do it and you wouldn't even ask what it was!" Yusuke said as she glared at him.

"That's because I trust Kurama unlike the both of you."

"Hey what did I do?" Kuwabara asked.

"Shut up." She said simply then looked at Kurama, "so what does that thing do anyways?"

"It's going to search your body for why you feel so different all of a sudden that's all." He explained. "See!" She looked at Yusuke and Kuwabara, "it's not going to kill me!"

Kurama shook his head then looked over his shoulder to where Shinku silently came walking from the hall and stopped at the front door looking over at Ash, "I'm going outside."

"Okay, don't go to far from the temple though." Shinku simply nodded and then left as quietly as she had come.

"She's kind of odd if you ask me." Ash hit Yusuke in the back of the head hard. "Shut up!"

"Well she is, you would think she would at least give some effort to act normal by now." He said looking at her blankly with his chocolate eyes. "Well… I'm sure she has her reasons for being s such."

"I agree." Kurama said taking a seat in a nearby chair. "It is hard for a demon to adjust to such different surroundings so quickly, just look at Hiei for example. He's been here for a few years now and before he completely hated the Ningenkai, but now he has found reason to stay and hates it… slightly less." He explained, Ash gave a small smile.

"True," she said.

Shinku looked around the temple surroundings silently sending out waves of energy that could not be picked by certain demons.

Her cream eyes shifted from one area to another until they finally came to rest in a nearby patch of trees. "Master Ryu." She said quietly walking over to where she felt his energy.

She stopped, her eyes still locked on the trees, nothing could be seen or barely picked up but she knew he was in there, for whatever reason it was. "Master?"

Ryu, dressed in his complete black appeared before her, "Shinku."

"What are you doing here? Is being here not a risk for you?" She asked slightly cocking her head to the side. "Yes it is, but I have to be here."

"For what purpose master?" He sighed, "because Sinu is here, I can feel it, protecting over her only daughter from the pain that this… thing is inflicting upon her."

"What does that have to do with you being here? Being here puts you in risk, and if you are right about what you have told me of Sinu then she would have everything here under control."

He gazed down at the corrupted ice demon with his violet eyes, "Shinku have you ever heard the ningen saying 'curiosity killed the cat'?"

"No sir."

"Well it's a popular saying, basically I am here because my curiosity of what is happening has ordered me to be here; do you understand."

"No."

"Well that is not entirely of your need to acknowledge, all I need you to do not is to not speak of my being here."

"What about to Hiei."

"No not even to him, even if they ask you I need you to say you know nothing of my being here."

"To lie."

"I'm sorry to say but yes I need you to lie, it would simply be best." The psychic said threw concerned eyes. "Why are you concerned?" She asked.

"What told you I was?"

"You're eyes, and the sense you're so obviously giving off." He looked slightly confused at her for a moment, "I'm concerned of what will happen in the future; yes I am able to take the pain from Ash as I have been doing." He explained.

"But I cannot take everything, slowly it will show on her, her lack of energy, the frailness her bones will have all of it. Then she will slowly die I've seen it happen before it's not pretty it's very sad."

"Why take her pain?"

"Because I promised Sinu when she was still alive that I would protect her daughter Tuuli… Ash no matter what, and by taking her pain I am protecting her from the fear of the unknown."

Shinku starred blankly at her once master taking in all the information. "Why do you not just show yourself and let them trust you to help, they're nice people as you have told me before."

"Because I am not trusted by them." He thought of the forbidden and the talk they had had not to long ago. "Oh." She said simply. "So I can trust you with this information, and know that you will not speak a word of it?" He asked.

"Hai master Ryu." She said almost silently.

"Good." In an instant he was gone from the sight, she simply looked at the place he had been standing in before as if he had not been there nor ever was.

"Shinku." She turned to see Hiei standing behind her looking slightly confused at her with his crimson orbs. "What did you talk to Ryu about?"

She silently looked at him remembering her word to her previous master, "nothing."

"I saw you talking to him now what was it about?" His voice was firm with her. "You should be worried more about what is happening with your mate." Confusion struck him for only a moment.

"Don't change the subject, what did he say?"

"Nothing important." He watched her unfaltering figure again, it was harder to break her then he had at first suspected. "You should be more worried about Ash anyways."

"Why?"

"Are you truly her mate if you know not of what is happening to her?" He growled, "Shinku."

"Gomen, what I'm saying is that she is under pain and you aren't able to see it, or have ignored seeing it. In any case you have left it to my previous master to take it from her, you are giving him the reason for being here." Had she just broken her promise to Ryu, so easily to?

No, no it was for the best. Ryu had told her to listen to them, and by that she had to oblige to what Hiei was asking for. His look flicked over to the temple, "whos side are you on with this?"

"I did not know there were sides to take for this."

"Never mind." He walked away towards the temple and once again she was alone. 'What will happen,' she thought to herself, 'Ash will surly die in the end that is the answer to the problem, four.'

'The factor is two, but what the other number I cannot see but it has to end up being four… why did he have to make me like this… that I have to use math problems to clearly see what is before my eyes?'

A/N: Yeah I have no idea's whatever I don't care I'll work it out. (Though ideas are always wanted and loved!) In any case please review and the next chapter will be soon!

More reviews means quicker updates always!
