Hiei's eyes twitched with agitation. Normally, he'd be high up in some tree, but considering the school was repainting near the trees, too many fumes flushed him out. So now he was waiting for Yusuke and Kuwabara on the school bleachers outside. He rubbed his temple where a bruise was throbbing (the result of sitting in a fume-filled tree and falling out). His mind was still a little foggy and he couldn't think quite right. So when a soccer ball came speeding at his head...well.

Smack!

He glared at the black and white ball as it fell beside him and held a hand to his concusioned head. Before the gym class could retrieve it, the ball was a pile of smoldering ash...No one asked for it back. And to top off one his worst days, it was freezing cold outside with an autumn wind lashing at the trees. He could swear they were mocking him. For awhile he sat there, dazed, until his head cleared up. It was then he realized that a set of eyes were glued to him.

Hiei slowly turned his head to see a girl across the bleachers, staring at him. She realized he saw her and quickly went back to what she was drawing in a sketchbook on her lap. But, she kept casting glances at him. Finally, nerves fraying, he demanded, "What?" The girls long, dark brown wind-whipped hair framed her face as she looked up to him, slightly blushing.

"Umm, I- I was drawing you...I-" She stopped and held up a very well portrait of Hiei. He just sort of glared at her."I'm sorry! It's just...I love drawing and couldn't resist..."She trailed off, knowing he wouldn't care. After a while of silence, she muttered, "Why aren't you in school?..."

"I don't go to school." He had no idea why he was talking to her. "Why aren't you?" He asked accusingly.(I guess)

"I don't like soccer..." Her dark green eyes looked out to the field where her classmates were playing with a new ball. "Not like they'd want me to play..." She looked back at him and gave a small smile, "I'm Maria." He didn't answer, so she went back to her picture. Finally, she heard an answer. "Hiei." She was going to say something, but was cut off by a RRRIIINNNGGGG!

When she looked up, he was gone. Maria stood with a frown and picked up her black jacket and put her book and pens away in a back pack, then hopped down the bleachers.

"What are you doin' here, Hiei?" Yusuke asked when he suddenly appeared.

"Hn, Koenma wanted us."

"God, another mission? What is it this time? Save the world or just save his ass from gettin' whooped by his dad?" He said, walking down the street.

"Ooh! Maybe we get to save a girl again!" Piped Kuwabara.

"Pfhh... Whatever come on."

Ooh, all the ogres...

A mass of ogre's with papers flooded Koenma's office, the classic sign of somethine bad about to happen. With all the commotion, Koenma didn't even notice his visitors until Kurama, who had been fetched, made a clearing-throat noise. Koenma's little baby face snapped up. "Oh!" He exclaimed.

"Woa," Said Kuwabara. "You alright? You look awful."

"No, I'm not! I have a big mission for you! A band of demons have been escaping into the Ningenkai-"

"Is that it? Come on how urgent-"

"Wait! Let me finish. These particular demons are under control someone of higher level. Their master is a very powerful demon-"

"Easy! All we have to do is beat him and-"

"Hold on!" He exclaimed, losing his temper. He took a big breath and tried to finish before getting cut off again. "This demon is after a girl in the Ningenkai."

"That's-OOF!" Something big and hard collided with Yuskue's head and Koenma had a wicked grin on his face. Regaining his composure he added more calmly. "As you probably guess, this is no ordinary human." An image clicked on the big screen of a girl around 15 or 16. Hiei's eyebrows shot up, but went unnoticed by the others. It was Maria.(I figured you'd have guessed it anyways so...)

The girl was short, about an inch or two taller than Hiei. Her dark green eyes seemed to sparkle with sadness and confusion. She wore black capri's, a white tank top, and a black jacket. The bag he saw earlier was slung over her shoulder. By now, Yusuke had awokened from his coma and said, "Damn! She's hot!"

"Really!" Agreed Kuwabara. "See! I told you we would be saving some girl!"

"No you didn't!"

"Did too-"

This time, they were both knocked out, but Kurama and Hiei were the one's grinning.

"Well, I guess we'd better go now." Kurama said as he dragged both boys behind him.

In her small apartment, Maria flopped down on her bed, which was nothing more than a mattress with dark gray sheets and a black blanket. The large white cat on it stood out.

"Hey, Lia." Lia purred, large yellow eyes shining in the dark room. Maria rolled over and looked around her room, stroking Lia. Pictures and paintings hung all over her walls, stacks of paper piled up high. She loved art. A large circle of pens, markers, pencils and erasers made a ring on her wood floor where she normally would sit and draw.

As she looked at her wall, dark and scary faces stared back at her. Constantly, weird images would flood her mind, she couldn't get them out, so she drew them instead. Large monsters dripping with blood, awful scenes, and one she could never forgot no matter what. A small girl, being forced to watch a brutal murder. She shuttered at her unwanted memories.

She walked over to one of her books filled with sketches and flipped through it. She stopped at a few pages with a few boys she had seen in her mind. A tall guy, one with long hair, even some girls, but her eyes stayed glued to the one she was looking for. One of Hiei. She had seen him before.

Before she could think about this, a clawed hand grabbed her from behind. Soon, she was being pulled through a purpleish portal. As her room closed around her, she saw Lia jump through and into her arms. Then as suddenly as it came, the purple swirls were gone, and the ground collided with her side.

She looked up into the grinning and scarred face a tall brown haired man.

"Bloody hell..." She muttered, and everything went black.
