I don't own YYH!

Kari opened her mint green eyes slowly. She sat up just to fall back down. She held her ribs as she sat up slowly. She looked down at her body. Instead of having a shirt, she had white medical bandages from her stomach to her chest. They had the crimson blood staining the bandages as she took Kurama's shirt in her hands. It had blood stains on most of the cloth. She slowly walked out into the living room. Yusuke and Kurama were playing cards nervously. Destiny paced the floor as Nicole sat next to Hiei. She was talking to him about how worried she was. Hiei just sat there and let her get it out.

"Kari! You should be in bed." Kurama said as he walked up to her, worry taking over his features.

"I'm fine. Really." She assured as she sat on the couch.

"Kurama said you got attacked by a blue bird." Nicole started.

"A bird demon." Hiei said.

"Demon? Are you kidding me?" Destiny interrupted. Yusuke and his friends explained the situation the best he could.

"So let me get this straight. My cousin's some kind of detective for the dead, Red's a fox boy, and Shorty's a demon that's half fire half ice and has a jagan?" Nicole asked in disbelief.

"Yes. I assure you that it's not a lie." Kurama said.

"We were sent here by Koenma. He's the Prince of the Spirit World." Hiei said.

"He's a toddler." Yusuke laughed.

"Why were you sent here?" Kari asked.

"We need to find three demons." Yusuke said.

"We'll help you." Nicole said.

"How are you going to help us? You're weak ningen onnas." Hiei said.

"You know what! We're stronger then we look!" Destiny yelled.

"I guess you can help." Yusuke agreed. The clock chimed 12 times. They couldn't believe it was midnight already. Kari yawned and hugged everyone goodnight. She went back to bed. Yusuke and Kurama played cards before they dozed off as well. Destiny fell asleep on the coffee table.

"Well, I'm turning in for the night. Goodnight Hiei." Nicole got up to walk upstairs.

"Onna." Hiei said as he grabbed her arm. She stopped and turned around.

"Yeah?" Nicole inquired.

"I'm sorry about yelling at you." Hiei whispered to almost himself. Nicole nodded in her acceptance and walked upstairs. Hiei vanished and appeared on the branch he would sleep in tonight. Hiei tried to go to sleep and as if it wasn't hard enough on a branch, his attentive youkai ears fixed in on light breathing. Hiei appeared on the windowsill, the sweet curtains being kissed by the wind. He entered the room and walked over to the lump in the bed. Nicole slept softly, her breathing loud to Hiei's ears. Nicole lay on her side, arm under her head with her hand resting on the pillow for the other. She looked as though to have a flame of her arm, or at least a picture of one. Hiei leaned over to get a closer look. Yep, it was a picture of a flame. What happened next was more nerve wrecking then the flame. Nicole rolled over in her sleep as Hiei backed up. But in that split second Hiei stayed, Nicole's lips gently brushed against his. Hiei went out through the window and sat out in the tree pondering what had just happened. Hiei had heard ningens talking about it. It was called kissing or something like that. Truly a disgusting way to show affection. Hiei looked toward the dark ground below him.

"I've been in ningenkai way too long." Hiei whispered to no one. He had a sensation where his heart was. It had to be some kind of side effect from being around humans too long. Hiei mentally kicked himself. He couldn't have actually liked that! That was a horrible moment that he never wanted to relive. Oh yeah, he had to get out of ningenkai…and quick.
