Previously:

But now, Hiei had screwed it all up. Kiya was sure to hate him now.

And the thing that bothered him most about that:… was that he actually cared.

Oh yeah, his mating season had chosen the perfect time to start. (sarcastic)

Chapter 9: Horny Fire Demons

It had been three days since Kiya's 'awakening' and since then, her back had been fully healed by Kurama's healing plants and a little help from Yukina, and that meant that she was up and runnin'. (Figure of speech)

But- that also meant that training had started again.

Oh joy.

Over the course of the three days, the Rekai Tantei along with Kiya went to go see Koenma to ask him how the hell the demons that had attacked the temple had gotten into Ningenkai.

--------FLASHBACK-------

"I don't know the details, but I do know that there seems to have been a wormhole in the barriers between the worlds, meaning one thing…" Koenma left the sentence hanging, and Kurama finished it for him.

"An illegal portal was opened for the sole purpose of sending demons into Ningenkai to attack Kiya."

"Exactally."

Kiya's eyes widened. She did not like this news. Not at all.

--------END OF FLASHBACK-------

Genkai refused to train Kiya anymore. She thought it was a waste of time to teach someone who already knew the material that was being taught, meaning that Kiya knew how to fly very well. Kiya didn't know whether to take that as a compliment or a put-down, but she didn't care. That meant no more crabby old women yelling at her to 'get her damn feet off the ground'.

Kurama had also ceased in teaching Kiya, for a while. He believed that Kiya knew enough to defend herself incase of an emergency, so he decided to take a little break.

Hiei, however, decided to keep putting Kiya through hell. But, he had been gone for the entire 3 days that Kiya was recovering, leaving right after his and Kiya's incident in the hallway.

No one save one person knew where he was and what he was doing. That one person who did know, was Kurama. From knowing Hiei for as long as he had, Kurama was almost psychic in the sense that he could find out everything about his friend, which got quite annoying after a while, as you can guess.

Kurama knew that Hiei was in the Makai, trying to cool down his 'urges' before he had to come back to train Kiya so he wouldn't do anything he would regret later.

By 'cool down' I mean by killing as many demons as he could and training himself to the point that he couldn't train any longer, just to keep his mind off the object of his 'demonly' desires.

Kiya.

-------------------------------

Hiei had come back so suddenly one day, sweaty, bloody and slightly short of breath, that it had everyone, even Kurama wondering.

But, that didn't stop the training session scheduled for today. Not at all.

As soon as Hiei got back to the temple, he went upstairs for about half an hour and came back downstairs, cleaned and with new clothes on consisting of a black tank top, black baggy pants, and boots- the usual.

Hiei looked at Kiya and walked out the back door leading to the forest, and Kiya knew that that meant that she was supposed to follow him. She could've sworn that when Hiei looked at her and after he quickly turned his gaze away from her, she saw him shake slightly. He visibly clenched his hands into fists, which made Kiya's eyebrows raise slightly from behind his back.

Then, they left out the back door, not to be seen for another 3 hours.

Everyone who sat in the living room (Yusuke fiddling with his buttons and occasionally throwing stuff at Kuwabara, Kuwabara who was continually flirting with Yukina, who had nothing better to do since Genkai was out in the forest meditating, and Kurama who was sitting in a chair, reading a historical novel-so like him)

They all sat in the living room for about an hour, before their peaceful relaxing was interrupted by a flying elemental.

"HE'S GONNA KILL ME!"

Kurama looked up from his book in time to see a wide-eyed Kiya flying as quickly as she could into the living room, screaming her head off, then diving behind Kurama, trying to hide behind him from whatever it was that was chasing her.

No one even needed to ask, because as soon as Kiya had flown behind Kurama, a very wet Hiei flitted into the room. The first thing Kurama noticed was his eyes.

Hiei's once focused and sharp crimson eyes were now clouded and swirling with a deep rustic hue.. That meant that Hiei was in 'heat' as some demons call it. Kurama would've helped Kiya, if it weren't for two things.

One: No one, I repeat, no one in their right mind would try to get between a 'heated' demon and his object of interest. NO ONE!

Two: Kurama was having too much fun watching Hiei chase someone around like an un-fixed, love-struck-puppy.

"Where. Is. She?" Hiei growled while using his fire powers to dry himself off. His dull yet cold gaze swept across the room until it came upon a patch of long blue hair coming from behind Kurama's chair, and he quickly disappeared and reappeared next to the chair, growling at it's hidden occupant.

"AHHHHHHH!" Kiya screamed, jolting from behind the chair and running like hell up the staircase, soon disappearing around the corner into the hallway, all the while flailing her arms wildly.

Hiei growled slightly louder then disappeared in a black blur running up the stairs and turning into the hallway.

"…you think we should help her? I mean, the shrimp looked like he was gonna murder her." Asked Kuwabara, looking up at Kurama for an answer.

"He wont kill her, Kuwabara, but he's most certainly kill you if you interfered. Just leave them be. Kiya will be fine." And he returned to his book.

From above, they heard. "AAAAHHHHHH-'thump'oof!"……………'SLAM'………………'THUMP'

"…ookkkaaayyy. You sure we shouldn't help her. We should at least make sure she's still alive."

"Im sure, Yusuke."

…………..

(A/N Now how about we enjoy this in Kiya's and Hiei's POV?)

………….

After Kiya had followed Hiei out the door they immediately walked to a different clearing in the forest. (Their normal one was being occupied by Genkai, who was meditating) This one had a plain and in the middle of the plain, there was a medium sized lake, with on big rock off to the side of it. Hiei immediately pulled out his katana and Kiya pulled out hers, and took a fighting stance over on the rock. She felt powerful on the rock, as funny as that may sound, so she stood on it.

Hiei avoided making eye contact with Kiya, which annoyed her and made her very curious, but before she had a chance to ask, Hiei disappeared and came up on Kiya's right, bringing his sword down above her head, which Kiya blocked.

Hiei then immediately disappeared and reappeared behind Kiya and went to strike her, when she ducked and turned swiftly, swinging her sword at his calves.

She gasped when Hiei didn't move. Instead he just stood there, his eyes slightly widened, and got a swift blade across his shins. He didn't even flinch.

What Kiya didn't know, was that Hiei was paralyzed by a growing urge within him, and when he had gotten close enough to Kiya to be able to smell her, that urge got even stronger. Almost too strong for Hiei to bear. What he had smelled on her had almost taken him over the edge.

She was in her 'heat cycle'.

This is all happening to me on purpose, damnit! Hiei thought to himself.

Hiei cursed under his breath as he felt something scratch his shins. He didn't flinch, but he was taken out of his daze. Those empty eyes looked back at Kiya as Hiei disappeared and reappeared behind her, too quickly for her to notice.

As soon as she turned around, a blade met her collar bone-area. The katana didn't swipe her deeply, but just enough to cut open that part of her shirt to show a red liquid now freely falling from the 5-inch long gash.

Ohh, Hiei was out of it now. The sight and smell of Kiya's blood had set him off….quickly. (A/N think of a shark, it's eyes going all black when they smell blood, but Hiei's eyes go red.)

Kiya ran a hand across her wound, which left a smear of blood on her finger tips. Out of habit, she raised her hand to her mouth and was about to lick the blood off, when she was suddenly tackled to the rock by a speeding black blur.

Hiei immediately pressed his lips forcefully on Kiya's, making her eyes widen. His hands trailed possessivly to her waist and he held her firmly to the ground while he continued to kiss her.

Kiya, who was now panicking that Hiei may have finally gone totally insane, looked around for any way that she could get Hiei off of her. She saw that she was about five inches from the edge of the rock, and over the edge was the lake. If Kiya could just roll over and send Hiei into the water, that would give her enough time to get away before he came to kill her for getting him wet.

Kiya was hesitant for a moment about her plan, positive that Hiei hadn't read her mind because he was too 'occupied'. But, her mind was made when Hiei's tongue had managed to brush across her bottom lip, demanding entrance. He had just taken it too far.

But he didn't mean to. Unknown to Kiya, Hiei was fighting, and pretty much losing a fight with his inner demon to make himself stop before she got hurt. He didn't even know why he cared whether or not she got hurt, but he did. Deeply. However, the demon in him wouldn't listen, it wanted Kiya, and there was no way that Hiei could stop it. He couldn't control himself or his enormous desire for Kiya. He had to have her, NOW.

Kiya tried to roll to the side, but a growl being emitted by Hiei made her stop. He was tensed up and there was only way that Kiya knew of to get him to even the slightest bit relax.

She kissed him back. Hiei, who was obviously taken by surprise, was evidently content that she had decided to give in that he put even more force behind the kiss. He was so caught up, that he didn't even notice that Kiya had turned to her side and he was now falling of the edge of the rock and into the lake. As soon as his possessive hands had left her waist, Kiya quickly took off, flying towards the temple, knowing that a good head-start was all that mattered besides speed in this situation.

Hiei, who was now sitting up in the shallow water, soaked, had to take a moment to snap out of his daze, growl loudly, then disappear in a black blur to chase Kiya.

Kiya flew as fast as she could in to the living room screaming, "HE'S GONNA KILL ME!" She dived behind Kurama's chair and held her breath, praying that Hiei wouldn't find her.

Some good that did. As soon as Kiya had flown behind Kurama's chair, a very pissed Hiei appeared in the room and demanded, "Where. Is. She?" He dried himself off before seeing Kiya's hair and appearing by the chair, glaring down at the frightened Kiya. She got up and ran screaming up the stairs, only to have Hiei follow her into the hallway and tackle her to the ground again, hence the 'thump. "oof." Hiei was on top of her back and he began to roughly kiss her neck, pushing aside the hair that got in the way.

Kiya reached behind and smacked Hiei's head, and he stopped for a moment, which was long enough for Kiya to scramble to her feet and run into the room that she had slept in while she was recovering and she quickly 'SLAM'ed the door shut, not noticing the burst of wind rushing into the room before it was too late. Kiya locked the door and sighed in relief. She turned around…to come face to face with an angry fire demon.

Kiya braced herself for Hiei yelling at her and closed her eyes, sort of cowering in the corner against the door. But, the yelling never came. Kiya opened her eyes to see that Hiei was just standing there, hands up against the door on wither side of her head, staring at her intensely. She wanted to know what was going on, so she opened her mouth to ask, but was silenced by Hiei pressing his body against hers and him slipping his tongue into her mouth before she had a chance to close it.

He was waiting for her to open her mouth!

Hiei fought harder with himself to try to get himself to stop. He only succeeded a little and made himself slow down the kiss, but he couldn't break himself away from her. He was almost starting to enjoy himself.

Kiya, feeling the sudden change in Hiei's demeanor, couldn't help but start to enjoy the kiss as well. I mean, she did like the guy right? Maybe this meant that Hiei liked her back, he just didn't know how to take it slow. So, Kiya started to kiss back and she couldn't help it when she wrapped her arms around his neck- What the hell am I Doing! She heard Hiei moan slightly.

…….This is what I wanted, right?

Hiei suddenly felt himself wanting…..no…….needing the taste of Kiya's blood in his mouth. The blood of his- -hopefully-- future mate.

Kiya snapped out of her daze when she felt Hiei's fangs run themselves along her bottom lip and bite it, braking the sensitive skin and causing a metallic taste to fill her mouth. Hiei also tasted her blood, which just sent him even further into ecstasy.

At the taste of Kiya's blood, Hiei lost any control he might've had and he pressed his body harder against her's causing her to be pushed into the door more. Kiya immediately stopped enjoying herself. Now she was worried, even a little frightened.

The only thing Hiei could hear from behind the wall forcing him to sit back and let his demonic side take over, was Kiya's whimper.

It was soft and quiet, but it was there, and Hiei recognized the meaning behind it immediately.

Kiya was afraid. Afraid of him.

Hiei felt himself raising his hand, claws ready to scratch Kiya's neck, therefore marking her and claiming her as his, when he summoned all of his self control and broke through the barrier that kept him from controlling his body. He did not want to make Kiya do anything she didn't want to do, and that meant becoming Hiei's mate against her will. At that moment, when he decided that, he was suddenly aware of the feelings he had for her, and the only desire he truly had for her was not to hurt her. He wanted her, sure, but he wasn't going to make her be his. He lowered his hand immediately and stepped away from Kiya, having her lean over and try to catch her breath, while Hiei found himself also panting slightly.

Kiya looked up at Hiei, who looked at her in return, concern evident in his once-stoic eyes.

What happened to you Hiei? She found hers asking herself.

'I lost control.' Came his voice in her head, startling her (A/N remember that Kiya doesn't know about Hiei's Jagan.)

She backed up into the corner, her eyes wide with fear and confusion.

Hiei cursed himself for ever doing this to Kiya. Now he had to make it up to her, no matter how much he didn't want to, if he ever wanted her to ……….he stopped his thoughts before they got so far that he'd lose control again.

Hiei looked at Kiya again, having to ball up his hands into tight fists to keep his demon side under control at the very sight of her.

Kiya saw this and brought up enough courage to ask, "W-what is happening to you?"

Hiei saw the hurt in her eyes, and he felt compelled to answer. "I lost control." He repeated quietly, as if saying it too loudly would scare her away.

"Lost control of what?" Kiya was losing her patience. She wanted to know why Hiei attacked her and she wanted to know now.

"Myself." And in her mind, he said, 'My desire to have you.' Hiei widened his eyes at the fact that he had actually said something like that. Why was he explaining himself to her! He was just so pissed off at himself and confused right now.

Why was he feeling the way he was?

What was that?

Regret?

That's a ningen emotion! He promised himself that he would never feel a ningen emotion, telling himself that it was a waste of energy and focus. He was just so angry about everything that he had just let himself do, from his actions to the things that came out of his mouth, that he turned suddenly and punched the wall, sending debris flying everywhere and leaving a large chunk of the wall missing.

Kiya watched in horror as he did this, and then as he turned to her and whispered hoarsely, "Tell no one of this." And then he disappeared out her window.

He grimaced on his way out to the forest. He hadn't meant to sound so harsh.

Kiya was even more confused than Hiei. She didn't know about mating seasons and how they could turn even the nicest of guys into the most blood-thirsty, woman-crazed people in the three worlds. It almost seemed a coincidence that Hiei was never nice to begin with, and that's why he was even more out of control than the next demon.

Kiya slid to the floor, thinking.

I should be mad at him. NO, I should be pissed off beyond all reason at him! Why aren't I?

Because deep inside you, you know that he didn't mean to harm you and that he didn't have control over his actions.! He stopped, didn't he?

Yeah, but after attacking me and forcing me to kiss him!

Kiya, he didn't have control over himself. It's his mating season and his previous feelings towards you nearly drove his desires for you further than they normally would've been if he had felt nothing for you before all of this. It was the demon in him that took control. You should harbor no hard feelings towards him. Hiei felt something for you, and he felt it so strongly that he was able to take over his body once again so he wouldn't hurt you.

How do I know you aren't lying?

Why the hell would I lie to myself?

Kiya just absently nodded her head, agreeing with herself.

She understood now, that Hiei never meant her harm, and she cursed herself for ever believing he would.

Kiya stood, deciding that it would be best if she just forgot everything that had just happened, when a thought suddenly came to mind.

Hiei had almost marked her. She knew about demons marking their mates.

Wait……then didn't that mean that Hiei wanted her to be………

Her thoughts were interrupted by yelling coming from downstairs. She quickly opened the door and flew downstairs to see what the commotion was about.
