Chapter four! DUDE! Getting good, right? . . . I said, right? Whatever, just read and review . . .

Chapter four---------- "Lani,"

Today is a bright summer day. The cool breeze blows through the cherry blossoms as we find everyone's favorite demon, Hiei, taking a walk in the park.

"Stupid mortal world . . . no excitement at all. I really feel like destroying someone's face right now… (sigh) "

Hiei stopped. His eyes lay upon a girl in a white dress lying on the ground.

"What?"

His eyes darting from tree to tree, he picked her up and checked her pulse.

"Well, she's not dead…wake up kid, it's not bedtime."

Slowly, the girl opened her eyes and looked up at Hiei.

"Well Hi!" 3

(sweatdrop) "Uh, hi…"

Hiei dropped her and continued to walk.

"Hey! That hurt!" she said getting up and following after him.

"I'm Lani! I like your hair! And your clothes, they're black. My favorite color!"

"Uh, thanks. Wait, WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME!"

"I dunno."

"Is this girl with anyone?" Hiei thought to himself.

After a short pause, Hiei sighed, "You're awake and alive, now go home."

Lani stood there as Hiei walked off, she looked around and her mind came back to reality, she wasn't in her home country, and she was alone.

"Wait . . ."

Hiei stopped. He turned around preparing to tell her off, when he noticed tears running down her rosy cheeks.

"I d-don't know where home is."

Hiei sighed and picked Lani up again.

"Name's Hiei."

Lani sniffled and wiped a tear, "Your name sounds familiar…have we met?"

"No."

Lani felt that she could trust Hiei, so she didn't say anything when Hiei carried her to his friend's house.

"KURAMA! GET THIS KID OFF ME!"

"Hiei, calm down, she just wants comfort."

"Whatever…I just want the freedom to use my right arm!"

Hiei had taken Lani to Yusuke's house where the whole group met every Friday (You know, to discuss weird things going on between the spirit world and mortal world). Keiko brought over some new clothes for Lani to change into. Hiei was getting the sick feeling in his stomach that Lani was growing, well, attached to him.

"So Lani, why were you the park?" asked Keiko.

" :sniff, sniff: I don't know. I was on my computer chatting with my buddies, and the next minute:sniff: I was here! In Japan!"

"In other words, you live in another country?" asked Yusuke.

Lani nodded and more tears formed in her eyes.

"I bet this is the work of evil spirits!" exclaimed Kuwabara.

"Whatever it is, we should keep an eye on her. You know, protect her." Said Kurama.

Lani looked up at Kurama and said, "Your pretty!"

Everyone fell down anime style.

Hiei stared at Lani sweatdropping, "Yippee…"

Out of the clothes Keiko brought, Lani wore a black shirt, white pants, and black socks (Like she mentioned, her favorite color is black, black and white…).

Later on, Kuwabara and Keiko went home, and everyone else stayed over deciding where Lani would stay the night.

"Yusuke, will your mom let Lani stay here?" asked Kurama.

"Yeah, I asked her earlier. She can stay in the guest room down the hall." replied Yusuke.

"What if something happens?" asked Hiei.

"Like what?"

"Think about it moron, people don't just get warped through a computer to a whole new country. I sense that someone did this on purpose."

Yusuke took a minute to think, "Hm . . . . . I guess I'll either call ya, or take care of it myself. Easy!"

Meanwhile, Lani was spacing out the window. She thought about how she would get home.

"I miss my friends…"

The three stopped and watched Lani.

"Don't worry Lani," Lani looked back and realized that this was Hiei's voice speaking, "We'll get you home."

Lani smiled as Kurama and Hiei left.

"So, you hungry?" asked Yusuke.

". . . Who are you?"

Late that night, Lani snuck out while Yusuke and his mom were sleeping. She went back to the park and sat on the swing to think about the previous events.

"This is so bizarre. I feel as if I've seen these people before."

She started to swing back and forth.

"Especially Hiei. Then again, I could be imagining things. At least I have him and those guys to help me."

This was true. Most of her new friends were quite older than her, and they were going to protect her.

"Yusuke, Kurama, . . . Hiei . . . where have I heard those names before?"

Lani searched her mind for the answer, then thought about the sweet memories with her friends, when it dawned on her.

Flashback . . .

Lani sat with Haley, Tina, Stacy, and Jen around a television. They were watching some sort of anime with fighting and demons in it.

The guys on the show were in some tournament, duking it out with bad guys. Every now and then, one of her friends would shout something like "Yeah Yusuke! Give him a right hook!" or "Nooo! You hurt Kurama's face! HOW DARE YOU!".

Then in one battle, a totally gothic demon with spiky black hair was showing his opponent a thing or two about fighting.

Suddenly, all at once, in the middle of the fight, all her friends screamed,

"HIEI DON'T DIE!"

End Flashback . . .

"Hiei, is an anime character . . . which means, I'm—"

"Hey you."

Lani jumped up and looked around.

"Who's there?"

A man wearing red skater clothes stepped under the street lamp. He was very odd looking, blue hair with pink streaks, his bangs were wild.

"Hold still."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Hiei woke up with a start.

"Lani."

Hiei jumped out of bed, and rushed to the park.

"Lani! Where did you go?"

He stopped suddenly and found a strange man approaching Lain by the swings.

"HIEI! HEEEEELLLLPP! HIS HAIR IS PINK!"

"Shut up kid, and stop complaining about my hair!"

The man grabbed Lani with his left hand, and held his other hand to her face.

"Let go of her, or die!" yelled Hiei running towards the two drawing his sword.

Before Hiei could pursue the man, he disappeared!

"Where?"

"Hiei! Behind you!"

Hiei dodged before the guy could strike him over the head.

"My name is Kazi, and Lani will be killed! Remember that!"

And with that, he disappeared again. Hiei looked around as Lani gave Hiei a jump and hug.

"Thank you Hiei! You saved me!"

This kind of annoyed Hiei, but this time, he didn't really care. Something else was more important to think about.

"Don't thank me yet. I fear that you're in great danger . . ."

Wow, what's going on here? Remember to read and review!
