Here is chapter 2. Now, I have only had seven hits to this story. Tear. I will not update until I get at least 2 or 3 reviews.Is it so much to ask for?

Enjoy!

"How are you alive?" questioned Kurama, staring in awe at Inazuma.

"I never really died in the first place. I...staged it. Now before all the questions are thrown at me, let me say that this conversation should not be held here. Takanashi has people after both me and Koka. Follow me."

Taking Koka by the hand, she turned around and headed towards the park path. She gathered her bag off the bench and proceeded out of the park. The others followed close behind as she walked down the sidewalk and onto the steps of a small, suburban house, nestled between two other houses. That is basicly how the whole street was. Opening the door, they were met by a medium-sized german shepherd female. She licked the side of Koka's face, making the girl laugh. Inazuma gestured for them to follow her into the living room to the right of the entrance hall. All complied and took seats on the two couches, 2 recliners, or the floor.

"Now to explain everything." started Botan. "You gonna tell them everything, Inazuma?"

"Of course. I never hide stuff from my friends unless it is absolutely necessary. So, any questions?"

"Why did you stage your death?" started Kurama.

"For all of your protection. If I did not, Takanashi would have gone after each and everyone of you, killing you ever so mercilessly."

"How?" Kazuma wondered. "How did you do it? The body looked so real."

"Because it was. I extracted Chi from myself but didn't give her any of my life energy, so she was, in fact, dead. I placed a glamour of sorts over her so she looked just like me. I'm sorry I had to do it that way, but it was needed."

"Where did you go afterwards?" asked Yusuke.

"With Takanashi. I joined him and played along with needs. I left about a month ago after finding out that he had his minons kill my only brother. It was also dangerous there. Koka was almost killed several times, despite my protests."

"I have a question." Said Hiei from his place against the wall. "Koka is your daughter. How?"

I sounded to many of them that Hiei was sad at this, though he didn't look like it. Inazuma laughed, as did Nekokani.

"She isn't really my daughter. Takanashi kidnapped her from her clan, the Yuki-Neko clan of the Mochidzuki mountains. Her grandfather is the leader and, as leverage, he took her in order to convince her grandfather to join him. She was only a month old. I was put in charge of her and, well, she grew on me. Her grandfather didn' comply to Takanashi's orders and, the bastard, killed the whole clan. That was one of the reasons we left. She was in too much danger. With Koenma's help, we fled here to Ningenkai. He got us this house and we've ben here for almost a month."

"So Reikai knew you were alive?"

"Yes. It was my wish that they don't say anything."

"So, we came here thinking that there were demons, when, in actuallity, it was to be a reunion?" Kazuma asked.

"Hai."

In the blink of an eye, she was tackled by Yusuke, Kazuma, Yukina, Botan, and Kurama. Hiei watched with mild interest. Koka smiled and sauntered over to the kajihenge.

"Konnichiwa, Hiei-san. Inazuma has told me a lot about you."

"Hn. Yuki-neko, huh?"

"Yep, 'cept my daddy was half psychic, which explains my eyes."
"Has she treated you good?"

"Of course. She's my mommy, well not my real, but she feels like it. I never knew my real mommy. Takanashi killed her. I'm very happy to have Inazuma. I would have died too if it wasn't for her."
Hiei watched the small child gaze at him lovingly. He could tell Inazuma told her a lot about him.

"Are you really Takanashi's son?" she asked suddenly.

"Unfortunetly."

"And Yukina is your sister?"

"Yes."

"Can you teach me?" she wondered, eyeing his sword. "Mommy says i'm ready, but she has to get me the perfect weapon. She also says i'm young, but in the worlds today, it is better to be able to help myself, then to depend entirely on others."

"You are a very smart child, you know that?"

"Mommy says I am. She started teching me all sorts of stuff when I was only 2. That is why I speak so well. She says that demons have a more vast learning capasity then humans. It is also better to teach demon children at young ages cause our brains are still developing. She tells me lots of things."

"How old are you again?"

"I'm five. How old are you?"

"607."
"Wow. What type of demon are you?"

"Half darkfire, half Koormie."

"Really? That's so cool. What kind of tricks and stuff can you do?"

"Koka. Are you annoying Hiei-sama?"

Inazuma stepped up behind the small child, picked her up, and set her on her hip.

"I am mearly asking questions."

"I know." she looked at Hiei. "All of you are welcomed to stay here if you like. I am sure that is what Koenma had in mind. I will show you all where you can stay, that is, if you don't mind, my lord."

She mock bowed to Hiei with a grin on her face. He shared a similar one with her.

"But of course."

She smiled at him, a real smile, and set Koka on the ground.

"I'm going to make lunch. Sweety, would you mind showing everyone around?"

"Of course mommy!"

She jogged over to Yukina and Botan, took them both by their hands, and proceeded to drag them out the door. Everyone, save Hiei followed.

"Surprise." she said, facing the kajihenge.

"Why did you do it?"

"I told you. I didn't want any of you to get hurt, Hiei-sama. I was easier that way."

"You made us all believe that you were dead!"

"I know, and I am sorry. Did you even care when you found 'me' like that?" she asked, turning away.

Hiei ran at her and pinned her to the wall.

"How dare you say that to me. Yes, I cared. Yes, I got scared. How would you feel if you found your best friend like that? Huh? Mortified? Scared? Sad? What, Inazuma, tell me."

"Scared...and lonely."

"Just imagine it. You finding a note and running to where it indicated, only to find that you were two minutes too late."
"I'm sorry."

"Damn, fucking straight you are."

"Did...I really scare you?"

"Hn...yes."

He released her and walked over to the large window and gazed out. She watched him for a minute before turning around and walking out of the room, towards the kitchen. Hiei turned and watched her reciding form, before following after her. He found her chopping up vegetables on a cutting board. The air was thick around her as he walked up behind her. Shocking both him and herself, he wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned his head upon her own.

"I'm sorry I acted like that." he said, tightening his grip slightly.

"I understand." she turned around to face him and placed her arms around his shoulders. "I apologize for doing what I did."

She pressed her forehead into the crook of his neck and squezzed him to her. They could hear the others walking around upstairs but paid them no mind.

"Don't do it again." he whispered into her ear. "I...I don't want to lose you. You're one of my best friends. Strange...me saying that."

"Not strange, Hiei. This is the real you. You are a kind person who stands beside his friends. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise."

She kissed his cheek and pulled out of his arms, finishing chopping up the vegatables. Hiei sat in one of the chairs at the small island counter.

"Thirsty?" she asked.

"Yes."

She got a soda out of the fridge and handed it to him. As his fingers met hers, he pulled her to him and lightly kissed her lips. A shocked expression covered her face as Hiei smirked at her.

"Thanks."

He gathered up his soda and headed back to the living room, leaving a speechless Inazuma.

"Oh my." she whispered, running a finger over her lips.

Hope you liked it! Remember what I said...No update until I get reviews.
