Insaneningen14: this starts out when Yuki comes out of Jii-san's shop. (And I get credit for putting in that nickname! So weird, but it's cool!) Hm, I got enough reviews, so here's an update (I don't like this chapter as much as the others though).

s---, I feel bad, because I don't respond to my reviewers. I'm so bad.
haha, you all have to love the gumpoints. But now I can't eat/chew gum, because I got godd--- braces. This sucks ass. And I can't chew ice either.
oh yeah, Yusuke still is related to Raizen, so if Yusuke's related, and his father is also of demon and human blood, guess who's Jiro is also related too:3

Chapter 11:

-(Yuki)-

When we had walked out the door of Jii-san's weapon shop, I fell back into my thoughts.

'My father… he had used a wakizashi to kill mother.'

'Hiei… he used- uses a katana to kill.'

No, swords were not for me. Jiro had given me a most suitable weapon-

BAM (AN: That's when Kuwabara and Yusuke run into her)

'Ow…'

'What's going on.'

'I'm awake.'

'But I'm not really waking up.'

'…'

'Shizuru?'

'Yusuke?'

'Keiko?'

'Kurama?'

'Yukina?'

'Kuwabara?'

'Botan?'

'Jiro?'

'…'

'Hiei?'

'Cold… Yet it's nice, in a way. I'm part ice demon anyway.'

'Like my mother…'

'Father killed mother.

'And he left the sword there.'

'Stained with blood.'

'A week the body was there…'

'The weapon remained in front of my eyes for a year, cast in the corner…'

'Remaining… reminding…'

'Mother had silver hair as well. Longer than mine, past her feet, so that it was like a dress train- it always looked elegant…'

'Pale purple eyes- they shattered when father betrayed her.'

'She looked lost, like she had no more in the world.'

'But she had me…'

"Rin…" Did I hear something? No, not anything significantly loud.

"My mother's name was Rin." More meaningless burble followed.

Father, father… "Why did you kill her?" This time, something went through my body, shocking me.

"Overload…"

Complete blackness now, no in between.

-(Reikai)-

"What's up with Yuki?" Koenma had summoned the others to his office.

"A disease. She-"

"She's going to die!"

"Hopefully not, but she has a serious mental illness. It's made for demons of Forbidden pairs, particularly Conflictings. You are all safe from it, except Hiei."

OO

"Hiei!" Kuwabara stared at Koenma. "Shorty is a fire demon though!"

He ignored him. "He is currently under quarantine, but the rest of you are all free to come and go as you wish."

Yusuke stood. "I want to see Yuki." Kurama followed him out silently.

Kuwabara remained there for several moments, looking between the prince stamping papers and the door out to the hospital ward. He finally left for the ward. Koenma breathed a sigh of relief.

-(Hiei)-

'Weak defenses. Practically none up,' he commented to himself. 'Someone has to train her.'

Her mind was like the void- empty and dark. Yuki was sitting in the middle, back to him, humming to herself.

"Into an unforgiving sea… under a fire spilling star…"

"Onna."

"Hello Hiei." She turned around.

"What are you doing."

"Breaking the silence. I never did like it completely quiet. It contradicts the music."

"Music?" One of his eyebrows raised in disdain.

"Essence. Existence. Music." She smiled at his expression.

"Why are you here?"

"I don't know. I can't get out. Do you know how this happened?"

"You're sick. The medication didn't work."

Yuki laughed gently. "I always thought it was too good to be true. But the sickness… is it curable?"

"How should I know onna?"

"…" She absolutely hated being sick. She felt so weak- not that she wasn't, but weaker than normally so.

"Koenma is working on it," he admitted grudgingly, giving her some comfort.

"Thanks Hiei." She smiled again.

"Hn. You and your stupid music." What a lovely way of saying 'you're welcome.'

"Ja." As he left, he thought he heard her resume singing, but shook his head.

-(Reikai)-

As Hiei opened his eyes and tied his bandana to hide his Jagan, he saw the other three waiting next to him. Kurama was the only one looking at Hiei though.

"Is she alright?" She was completely still on a portable bed, the oxygen mask off now.

"Stuck in her mind."

"Couldn't you have gotten her out with your Jagan?" asked Yusuke.

"If Hiei did do so, he could have triggered something else. It's best that we wait until we know the sickness fully," explained Kurama.

"Whatever."

"Hey, Urameshi, I have to go home." Kuwabara tugged on his friend's sleeve. "Shizuru told me not to be late for dinner."

Yusuke checked his watch. "D---, you're right. Besides, I'm hungry. Coming Kurama?"

The redhead shook his head. "Go on ahead. Tell Koenma to leave the portal open for me." The two left, Hiei following as well.

"Hiei, wait." The apparition paused in the doorway. "You can't leave."

"Hn. I leave when I want to kitsune."

"Koenma ordered that you and Yuki remain in Reikai."

"The brat?" he hissed.

"This is quarantine-"

"His opinions don't matter!"

"Hiei, he'll-"

"Throw me in Reikai Prison where I could spread my disease to other demons?"

Kurama sighed. "Hiei, you'll have to stay. I'm sorry. Koenma will relocate you into more comfortable quarters for the two of you-"

"I'm sharing rooms with her?" Shock was evident in his face.

"You'll be sharing connected rooms, all stocked with what you need. Hiei, please…" Hiei had started forward again.

"Bring… me my bow… of burning gold…"

The two demons turned to Yuki. Her eyes were still closed, unconscious, but she kept on singing.

"Bring me my arrows of… desire…" Her voice was weak, but the tune was alright, winding through the small space.

"Bring me my spear… O clouds unfold… bring me my chariot of fire… (1)"

"Hn. Fool." His Jagan glowed for a second under his bandana.

Her mouth closed, and she ceased.

Kurama stared puzzled at the still form.

"Yet she still remains unconscious?" The two turned to see Koenma, in his teenage form.

Hiei's gaze narrowed. "You." In a flash, the Reikai Prince was up and against the wall, held there by a seething fire demon. "You."

"Hiei, you have to understand." Koenma's eyes were huge. "I don't want an epidemic on my hands-"

"Do you expect me to stay here, waiting until your stupid oni get results for her sickness!"

"Hiei, the most you'll be here is two weeks-"

"Two weeks, only two weeks."

"Hiei, you'll be provided with anything you need- there will be a training room attached-"

"You sound like you're trying to sell me a house," he hissed. He dropped Koenma, leaving him rubbing his throat on the ground.

"Find out what's wrong with her so I can get out of this hellhole." Koenma nodded, exiting quickly in fear.

"Hiei…" Kurama watched him warily. "How do you know about estate dealings?

"I'm not completely oblivious fox."

Kurama sweat-dropped. "And why did she…?"

"She says she sings to break the silence."

Kurama smiled. "You wouldn't want her to be alone would you?"

"Hn. Shut up fox."

"Good night then." The redhead left for his own home.

"Excuse me?" Another ferry girl popped her head in- Hinageshi (2).

"Hn."

"The portal will lead you to your new quarters." The said portal appeared. Hinageshi rolled Yuki into it, leaving Hiei to follow.

:End Chapter

(1) That is the first couple of lines of the second part of Jerusalem, which my school forces us to sing every other occasion. Yeesh. But it kinda was nice.

(2) Hinageshi is allowed to come near Hiei because she's a ferry girl, not a demon.

Insaneningen14: yay! Haha, I'm forcing Hiei into quarantine. SUCKS FOR HIM! AHAHAHAHAHA! (evil laughter continues)

Miharu34: six reviews. We're moving our standards up.
