A tale of the master of "Fire"

By Youkiyra Solar alias Krystal Fox

Kyrstal Fox: just wanted to let you know that is a little story that may not make sense but I made it to try and invoke all you people's out there to imagine what happened before Hiei was born. Anyways this is my creation of what "really" happened all those years ago.

Disclaimer: None of the YuYu Hakusho characters are mine, (Even though I want some) they are just being borrowed to be used in the story of my imagination which happens to include them.

Chapter 4 The other side of the story.

Hinya was in the iced in walls of the Koorim city and boy was she bored.

She had only come back into the city to gather supplies she needed out side of the walled city.

She was the only ice maiden that dared to go outside the city with two fire dragons living on the island. Infact all her friend’s were trying to convince her to stay in the city and forget about the beautiful cottage she had created 28 miles away.

“No Flora for the last time I will not stay in the city and be bored to pieces just because you are all afraid of a race of men and two dragons who you think will melt you. Bah! I’m leaving back to my cottage and if anyone tries to stop me like last time I will remove their heads from their bodies permanently.” Hinya’s threat did the trick no one was going to bother her now. She was known throughout the city as the wild maid. She did everything of her own free will, she also refused to do anything in the old fashioned way but set new ways to do things.

Two years ago she had surprised everyone in the city by announcing that she was gong to move out side the city to live by herself.

She had done this and had been living happily ever since.

After walking through the gates went on her normal route to her home, on the way saw the huge dragon foot prints in the snow, then coming to the clearing right out side her house saw two huge dragons leaning over a lumped and darkly dressed figure on the ground.

The person whoever it was, was hurt, she had to help. (The dragons decided that they wanted to come back for dessert.)

As she started to get her ice attack ready the dragons turned and saw her, walking towards her licking their lips.

Fei started to move, infact opening his eyes saw that a girl on the other side of the clearing was being crowded in by these dragons knew he had to help or they would hurt her as they did him. Standing with a determination on his last leg of energy ran over to the front of the dragons and ordered the dragons to stop.

“Red, White, Stop.” the dragons stopped because he was a royal fire demon and if he gave a command they would have to obey it. “Red, White go somewhere else till I call you back and do not kill or hurt any Youki beasts or other people.”

After the dragons left Fei collapsed at Hinya’s feet out of energy. Hinya looked down at this figure, his back was nothing but red and his left pant leg was covered in blood and he was a sickly look on his face.

She being the kind healer type drug him inside her cottage to care for. After washing clean all his wounds, (Yes she had to remove his tunic.) put him near the dead fireplace. She had a feeling that heat was vital to his person’s health and “It” needed it badly.

Starting the fire pulled him gently over to it and putting a pillow under his head and a blanket over him, went to get some warm soup for him, to eat. (She was thinking about what he might be and finally figured out he must be one of the dreaded men of the outside world.)

Outside the house the snow started to fall again and covered the trees nearby with another layer of snow, beautiful white sparkling snow. Even though she loved to watch the snowfall she now had a responsibility to watch over this guest who was hurt badly.

Fei had been sleeping by the fireplace long hours now and had regained his heat in his own body, thus allowing him to wake up. Though he felt like a thousand demons had beaten him to a pulp. He was sore and groaned not wanting to open his eyes but he wanted to see where he was that was so darned warm.

Opening his eyes saw that he was in a place that he did not remember. By a warm fireplace.

As he was about to turn his head he felt fingers that were freezing to touch , touch his neck urging him to sit up.

“Hear,” a voice connected to the girl he saw said, “take this soup it will help warm you up.”

“Where am I and who are you?” Fei said weakly still very tired and had Youko’s poison still in him.

“I am Hinya and you are in my house on the Koorim Island. No what is your name?”

“Do you want real or fake? You can choose?” Fei said too exhausted to really care which name she wanted.

“Your real one.”

“It’s Fei…”He said as he started to drift off into sleep again.

Hinya looked down at Fei and wondered what was so fearful about men if all were as nice as this one. Kneeling down pulled the top half of the blanket off of him and began to recheck his wounds. Her cold touch brought Fei back to consciousness, opening his eyes saw the black haired girl with amazingly red eyes working over his wounds.

Closing his own eyes fell back into the black oblivion he was becoming so used to.

Hinya the next morning gently shook Fei and said, “Fei, Fei, come on wake up, I need you to get up for just a little bit.” Finding that shaking him awake was not successful put her cold hand on his neck and held it there waking him up.

“Cold, What in the blasted tarnation was that!” Fei said cursing loudly sitting up. Hinya blushed she had never heard such words before. Fei looked over at her and then realizing what happened out his hand out Hinya put her hand in it.

“”Hinya I am sorry I did not mean for you to hear my foul tongue,” then like the true gentleman that he was kissed her hand.

Hinya blushed even more. Then kneeling in a way wrapped her arms around his waist to help him stand. Moved him over to the bed nearby from the floor.

“Hinya I was wondering, how long will it take for my wounds to heal?” Fei said trying to move without moving his hurts but that was rather impossible he winced and was forced to lie flat on his back by Hinya.

“Well if you don‘t reopen them I would say a week and a half.” She said bringing over some hot soup.

(Which in the case of all of my stories is impossible.)

He turned his head over and waited for Hinya to help him sit up because that was the only way he could without pain racking through his body. He felt lightheaded as she helped him up, his eyes started to roll back closed into the oblivion.

“Fei!” He heard the frantic words of Hinya. Forcing his eyes open looked at Hinya, she was blurry he couldn’t see straight.

“Hinya, help I can’t see you. Everything is blurry.” Fei said feeling frantic.

Hinya slowly took in the events of what was happening. “Fei did you get any kind of poisoning before I helped you yesterday?”

“Yes,” He said his eyes closed, “I ran into Youko Kurama and he poisoned me hoping that he would kill me, he inserted some kind bluish liquid into me, it paralyzed me for a long time.”

“That can only mean,” Hinya said starting to rummage through her herbal closet, “He injected you with a fever indusing poison that will start to give you hallsonations. The antidote is very painful so bear with me. But if this goes wrong I must warn you that you could lose your sight.”

“Do what you must but I can’t stand life without my sight.”Fei said shuddering at the thought of losing his sight.

Pulling him into a hug. He was surprised this girl was trying to comfort him of his worst fear.

“Then I will be your eyes if this fails.” Hinya sympathizing with him.

Gently she pulling him to his feet lead him over to the front room, putting him on the couch said, “I will be right back with the things that I need.”

Hinya quickly left and returned to find that Fei had fallen asleep holding onto her pillow. Pushing him onto his back felt his forehead it was beyond normal heat, he was beyond normal fire demon heat but had the worst fever in the history of fevers and was hurt.

She mixed some bitter smelling herbs together and pounded them into a mixture that she inserted into a needle and then injected into Fei’s arm, his right arm.

Then the after effects of the poison started, Fei started to struggle in his sleep. Hinya had expected this so she held him in a tight embrace. She did not count on exactly how strong Fei was though. As the struggling got worst Hinya was losing her grip on him. Then in one moment Hinya was thrown to the ground and her arms pinned to the ground by his strong hands. He looked at her through glazed eyes and said, “Leave me alone GIRL .”

Hinya knew that it was by the influence of the Poison that he was saying and doing these things. “Fei stop you will just do things that you will regret in the future.”

“I will get you, that’s all.” With that he took his sword and it went flying slicing some skin off of her arm leaving blood on the floor. Hinya knew that it was time for drastic action, forming her own sword swiftly whacked Fei on the back of his head making him go limp on top of her.

Pushing him off, drug him to the bed she had, had him on earlier. Then went and wrapped her own arm then had to wait for him to wake up.

Hinya then went to look for something to help with deluding the poison to get rid of it. Finding a small vile that she had read the instructions on it. “Mix with cat nip pounded up add a strong wine and let person drink all of it, it will make the poisonous effects less dangerous.”

So taking this vile went and mixed it with some catnip and then the strongest wine she had in her freezer. After letting the bottle unfreeze pored it into the bottle and then walking over to Fei leaned over and woke the sleeping Prince to take his medicine.

“Ugh, why do I feel like a mob of stupid lower class demons just ran over me?” Fei said holding the back of his head.

“I had to knock you unconscious, the poison that was in you took over you and you reopened some of your wounds (Not wanting to mention the cut he gave her.) To make the poison ineffective you need to take some medicine to stop it.”

Fei sat up and looked suspiciously at the drink she had for him to drink. Took a sip and make a sour screwed up face. Then looking at Hinya seemed to say “Do I really have to take this.”

Hinya looked right back and looked like she was going to make sure he drank every drop.

After Fei had drunk the whole cup stood and walked outside, to Hinya’s dismay. She followed, Fei was looking at the frosted trees. He was trying to remember something. (The poison that Youko had given him erased any memory that they had ever met.)

Looking around made a command. “Dragons come here.”

A few minutes later two twin dragons came bounding into the clearing. They were playing a game of tag as they were running.

“Red, White, I want to know the exact coordinates of where Hinya’s house is right now.”

The dragons nodded and sped off intent on making their master pleased.

When they had gone He stumbled over to a large stone near the house and sat down melting the snow around him. Hinya sat down beside him and they watched the snow as it started to fall again.

The dragons returned within the hour and whispered in His ear the coordinates. He nodded and turned to Hinya.

“Hinya, I want to go to my home.”

“Okay, but will you come back to visit? I’ll miss you, you’re really nice.”

Hinya said smiling though she wanted to have him stay longer because she enjoyed his nice company even though it had foul language.

“Yes, as often as I can make it here to see you.”

“Goodbye Hinya.”

“Goodbye Fei.”

He then turned and left like that and was gone. Hinya turned and went back into her house she felt lonely without that kind young man.

Fei was going home to visit his brother and (ugh) his sister-in-law. Then go back to his thieves guild that he had not been with for the last 4 days.
