Hey everyone I'm in a happy mood right now because I got a new laptop and I've found it fun to mess with everything and see if it will brake! Yeah that already happened a few times so far. Anyways now I'm having fun with the attached keyboard I put onto the laptop! (I know I'm easily amused.)
Disclaimer: I don't own YYH and I don't own HIM or any of their lyrics, I only own Shi, Jokil, Topai, and all those kinds of characters. Yeah so I think you get the gist of what I'm saying with that!
Chapter 25: I'm Killing Myself For You.
Hiei followed the black blur as fast as he could, although it easily outmatched him in speed and flew off in a unknown direction, but still he persisted after it.

"God you came." Said the strong voice that had showed itself before. "We can't be left in this darkness now." The moon, once blocked by clouds cleared suddenly, illuminating the man who stood atop a cement roof above all others.
The man was tall with straight blonde hair that hung straight in his face and around her head. His face was pale, almost as white as the moon above. His clothes were a pair of long white pants with a matching top with yellow marks down the long sleeves; his bright emerald eyes shown clearly against the light colors.
A bright silver necklace hung on his neck with a pendant of a sun hanging on it.
Before him, Shi stood in her black clothing, black wings extended out of her back about four feet, the soft feathers were black and a few white, her eyes locked upon the man's form.
"You can't stay like this, the shadow in you is quite overruling." With a slight swish of his hand her whole body changed.
Her once chestnut hair was now a slick black with white tips, black flare pants hugged her hips low and tight while a plain white short top with loose sleeves that hung off her shoulders and clearly showed off her flat stomach.
Her eyes were now a icy blue color, she didn't seem to notice this change at all. "Now, for introductions." He stepped closer to her. "My name is Topai, I'm a light demon and I used to be your father's friend."
He suddenly looked over across the roof to where the forest concealed the temple, the trees rustled in a strong breeze and his eyes returned to her.
"We don't have much time now so I'll get straight to the point." He walked closer to her, his shoes clicking against the cement.
"You are in a very serious stage right now in your understand of demonic power known as the 'Changing Decisions.'" He breathed in slightly. "It's an occurrence where a shadow demon can be transformed into a light demon and vise versa., that's why I'm here."
"Your father was very powerful and did all that he could to keep you from having to go threw with this, but now it is inevitable."
"Many light demons like myself have flocked into the Ningenkai to help you change into a light demon, it would not be wise for someone of your power to freely walk between the worlds."
Topai took her chin in his hand, "do you understand where I'm coming from?" She nodded and his lips moved up into a smile. "Good I will warn you though, if you try and go against us we will take action to get what we want. So it would be in your best favor not to fight."
Again Topai looked over towards the trees then back at her, stepping back from her and meeting her stare, "it's been a pleasure Alli." He was gone after that.
Shi's eyes blinked and she looked around. "Topai.' She thought. She spotted the wings on her back but didn't feel surprised by the site. The wings flapped at her mental command and gracefully lifted her off her feet and into the sky.
"Shi." Hiei's voice stopped her, she turned and spotted Hiei standing upon the roof, crimson eyes locked onto her; she turned and flew down in front of Hiei. His mouth opened but nothing came out at first, "we need to get back to the temple." He said.
"How did I get wings Hiei?" She asked, gazing at the black and white feathers that made up her wings. "I don't know." He then flitted to a different roof and waited for her to follow suit. She did instantly, flying into the air and smiling the whole time.
They went silently across the city and to the temple. "How're we going to deal with this?" She inquired as she folded her wings up close to her body and followed him into the dark house.
"Wait here." He instructed, she stopped and watched him disappear into the dark hallway.
"Fox." Hiei called from behind the fox's closed door. After a moment Kurama's voice broke the silence, "what?"
"We have a problem." He heard Kurama sight, "we as in you and I?"
"We as in Shi."
There was another moment of silence, "then how is that a 'we' problem?" Hiei growled, "shut up and get out here!" In another minute Kurama walked out of his room. "So what's wrong now?"
"Follow." Hiei walked back into the living space and flicked on the lights, showing Shi still standing there with her wings folded against her; Kurama chuckled.
"Kurama how do I make these wings go away?" He continued smiled as he leaned against the wall.
"I should let you figure it out yourself since you were able to get them like that yourself, but I'll help anyways." He stood straight and walked over to her, and then around her once observing the state she was in.
"Yep same concept as before." Neither Hiei nor Shi said a word. "Shi, will your Henkis back to their natural state, and call them to you." She seemed confused but did as told.
Instantly the wings disappeared and the four Henkis appeared around her body. "There, it's that simple. But something confuses me, if you were able to will the Henkis into your wings, why weren't you able to call them off?"
"But that's the thing, I didn't do it, Topai made me do it, and to go to him." The confusion remained on Kurama's face. "You mean Topai Myadar?"
"I didn't get his last name."
"Was he a light demon?
"Hai, he looked like he could be an angel." She explained then gazing to the floor as her thoughts moved back to what had happened before.
"I thought he was dead." Kurama murmured. "I was told he was dead." Hiei said crossing his arms over his chest and eyeing the kitsune. "You know him?" Shi asked.
"Unfortunately." They both said simultaneously. "Okay, well I want to sleep, I never really got to, so once again I'll see you guys in the morning. She stood up and went down the hall with her Henkis following close behind and leaving the other two demons in a tense silence.
"You know why they're here right?" Kurama's emerald eyes snapped over to Hiie as he asked the question.
"Them." Hiei corrected. "They travel in packs baka kitsune, of course I know why they're here, it's for that stupid tradition they do."
"Hai, the Changing Decisions. We need to take her to Koenma to discuss this, no doubt they will stop at nothing to get her." Hiei nodded, "you know quite a lot about light demons, is there a reason why?"
"Not really," Kurama said shrugging his shoulders, although in his mind something ran rapid threw his thoughts. Something tweaked his cunning instincts that there was a deeper story to this then was being led on to believe.

Topai walked quietly threw a lush patch of grass towards a figure who stood quietly against the night wins, gazing up at the clear moon. "Ma'am." He said near a whisper as he stopped behind her and watched her movement with still eyes.
"I'm killing myself for you." She said, and then turned to Topai. She was young, maybe 16 or so. Her skin was almost as pale as a sheet of paper, her lips drained of their normal bright red and her blue eyes shining with a all knowing look.
Her hair was long and flowing of a white color that shined with the moon's rays. She wore a long white skirt that slit up the sides to her knees with black vines and roses sewn around the base of it with a white top that lay low exposing part of her chest.
Enough to allow the silver sun necklace to lay flat against her smooth skin. "What did you see ma'am?" He questioned.
She looked back at the moon in the night sky ignoring his question completely. "You need to deliver a message to her, tell her that her blood will kill her." She explained in a silky smooth tone.
"Have your people scatter the city, do not take her no matter how open the chance is, make sure nothing is found out." "I will not accept any errors from anyone." Her tone suddenly became deadly.
"Understood." He stayed in place listening intently as if her words were gold. "And what of Jokil, his spells keep us from getting to him." The girl was silent, as if she didn't hear his question.
"Leave him be," he bowed. "Yes ma'am." Then walked away again.
The girl watched the bright sky unblinking, 'I'm killing myself for you… what do you mean by that?'
A/N: All right new twist in the story but I'm not saying anything about it, only that there will be a LOT of twists to come! I have a lot of ideas for this story and I'm slowly incorporating them into it! Anyway I can guarantee the next chapter soon!
