Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this except for the OCs Blaze and the boy neko and the new character! I also own the plot!

Blaze: Lyra, say nothing… And I want to know if I really have to say that? I mean I'm sure all of you know I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho or anything else. Well like I said, I own my OCs and the plot. So do I seriously have to continue to say it? Oh well…

Chapter Five

Blaze woke quickly in a cold sweat. She was panting slightly and staring straight ahead with wide frightened eyes. "What's going on? Why would I have such an awful dream?"

The neko got up slowly, still frightened by the dream. She went to her desk and turned on her computer. She sank into the chair seeking comfort.

As the computer booted up she noticed something on her desk. She looked at the paper and shivered. "That wasn't there earlier." Her voice was low. She reached out and took the paper.

Her fingers trembled slightly as she unfolded the letter. She looked at the paper and read the Japanese kanji.

Blaze,

Leave your friends tainted child. Leave them and they won't die. Your dreams will become very much real if you don't. Leave or you and all those you care for will die.

Blaze crumpled the letter and burned it in her palm. She put the ashes in her trash and looked at the monitor. The time read 4 in the morning.

The kajihenge sighed. "Nothing is going to happen to them. That nightmare was a big fake. They're not stupid enough to get caught by an enemy and die. And if they were, they're strong enough to take care of themselves. I have nothing to worry about. That letter was just probably a fake, just something to spook me."

The neko opened the internet and went to a chat line where other demons got onto. There was a password to get in and of course, Blaze got in quickly. She logged into the chat room as "Lady Assassin".

A/N: I know… real original, but I just couldn't think of anything…

Blaze read some of the things in the local demon chat. The words "Private Message" started to blink on her screen. She clicked on it and read the message.

Did you get my messages?

Blaze glared at the screen and replied. What messages are you talking about?

A moment passed before she got a reply. The letter that was on your desk and the dream, did you get them?

Blaze's eyes went wide with fear and she exited the window and the chat line. She closed out of the internet and stared at the screen in fear. What… what's going on? How did that person know who I was? Why would they send me those messages? Maybe I should take them seriously, but like I said before, they're smart enough and strong enough to take care of themselves.

For the next week, Blaze woke every morning at 4 caused by the same reoccurring dream only to find the same letter.

This time Blaze saw a new sentence.

Go to America or your friends will die.

Blaze shivered and burned to note. She looked at the ground sadly. "Maybe I should take this letter seriously."

The neko sat at her desk, her ears flat against her head in sadness. She took out some paper and a pen.

With excellent speed, she wrote a letter to everyone.

Blaze set the pen down and put the note on her now made bed.

An hour and a half later…

Kurama knocked on the neko's closed door. "Blaze, breakfast is ready come and eat."

He waited for a reply. When he didn't get one he opened the door. He stared at the empty made bed and saw the letter.

His heart filled with dread and his stomach turned. "Oh no, please don't be what I think you are." He made his way to the bed and picked up the letter. He read it, each word making his fears reality.

My friends,

I'm sorry for everything I've done wrong, if I have. I want you all to know that I thank you all for being my friends. If it wasn't for you all, I don't think I'd have the strength to be here now.

By the time you get this, I'll be long gone. I can't tell you where I'm going, and don't ask Koenma, he won't know either, and there's no way he'll be able to find me. I'm leaving to protect you all. Maybe while I'm gone you guys can train. When I come back, when I know it's safe, I'm planning on taking you all on. And don't hold back!

Kurama, thank you for all that you've done, both when I was born and now. Never stop cooking ok? I plan on eating all of your food when I get back! And I won't let Yusuke and Kuwabara beat me!

Hey Yusuke, start practicing on the games, because I'm going to kick your butt on it. Same goes for you Kuwabara.

Girls, don't let the guys go in my room. If you could, clean in once a week. Love you three, keep the guys in line ok?

Oh and Hiei, you don't think I forgot about you, did you? Well… I wanted to say I'm sorry. And thank you. You really should show your true colors around everyone else. Don't get too sad over me being gone ok? Oh, I'm just playing with you. You'll probably go back to your normal self when I'm gone.

Don't get too sad over me being gone. All of you better not forget me ok? If I come back and you all don't remember me, I'll have to hurt you all. Oh you all know I'm joking! Love you all!

Blaze

Kurama stared at the letter with sad eyes. "Blaze… what could have been so bad that you had to leave?"

Tears filled his eyes but he blinked them away. He stood up with his head bent low and walked downstairs where the others were waiting for him.

Botan smiled brightly at him but when she saw his lowered head her smile faded. "Kurama, what's wrong?"

Yukina looked worried. "Where's Blaze?"

They all looked at the kitsune with worry.

Kurama set the letter on the table in front of Keiko.

The human girl picked the letter up and read it aloud.

Everyone's heads were lowered. Hiei was the first to stand. He turned and started to walk away.

Kurama looked up at him. "Hiei you're not going to see Koenma are you?"

The kajihenge didn't stop. "She has to be lying. He has to know where she is."

Before anyone could stop him, Hiei had disappeared. He reappeared in front of the two large doors into the toddler's office. Without knocking he barged into the office with a glare.

The toddler looked up startled. "Why hello Hiei, what can I do for you?"

There was a cloaked man next to the desk. The person had been looking at a thing of papers on the desk but looked up at Hiei. They could not see the person's face.

Hiei slammed his hands onto the desk and gave the toddler a death glare. "Where is Blaze Koenma? I know you know where she left to!"

Koenma looked down sadly. "I'm sorry Hiei. She came in almost an hour and a half ago with a duffle bag full of her stuff. She asked for a portal pendant. She had said she was going to go to work and would need the pendant for when she needs to come give me the report. But not too long ago, this young man appeared and asked me where Blaze was. When I told him she went off to work he shook his head."

Hiei glared at the guy, now giving him the time of mind. "Who are you?"

The person removed their hood to reveal Blaze's look alike.

The two looked at him in shook.

The guy smiled. "It seems you two know exactly who I am. Blaze only knew I looked like her but couldn't really put her finger on it."

Hiei glared at him.

Koenma nodded. "You're her twin, so what is your name?"

The boy went serious. "My name is Kusanagi. I am named after our father."

Koenma nodded. "So you are a member of the Order yourself."

Kusanagi nodded. "I am, and I warned Blaze not to return. I know she has not because the finals are done and over with. She was not among the finalists. I am scared she has fled elsewhere. I can tell she is safe, but I can not sense where she is."

Koenma and Hiei stared at him. "How can you tell she's safe?"

Kusanagi smiled sadly. "Our twin connection, but soon I'll be able to sense her surroundings. Right now she is in a very long portal."

Koenma frowned down at the desk. "There has to be a reason she ran away."

Kusanagi's face stayed blank and Hiei knew at that moment that he knew something and wasn't going to tell them. Hiei tried to probe into the neko's mind.

Kusanagi shot a cold glare at Hiei.

I wouldn't do that if I were you kajihenge. You haven't been doing that to Blaze have you?

Hiei returned the cold glare. Hn, it's none of your business baka neko.

Hiei turned towards the door. "Give me a portal Koenma."

"Where do you plan on going Hiei?" Koenma asked in his usual boss like tone.

"I'm going out, I'm not going to kill anyone you baka." Hiei's voice was cold as he spoke to Koenma.

The toddler nodded and summoned a portal. Hiei quickly jumped into the portal before Koenma or Kusanagi said anything.

Hiei landed in a forest. He jumped into the trees and jumped through them in a blur.

Blaze, where are you? Why'd you leave?

Hiei felt his heart breaking. He stopped when he got to a clearing and saw a park. No one was at the park yet because it was still early.

He sat on a bench and leaned forward. He looked at the ground with blank crimson eyes. He felt himself wanting to cry, but he forced it away.

Why would she want to leave? Why would Blaze want to leave them… leave me? Why should I even care? Why do I care?

Hiei leaned back and stared into the dark clouds that filled the sky. His face was blank, his eyes were blank.

"Why do I give a damn what that neko does?" His voice was soft but sounded slightly weak.

"You love her, and don't deny it."

Hiei tensed up and looked at who the intruder was. He saw Kusanagi standing 5 feet away from him with his hands in the pockets of his cloak. Hiei glared at the neko. "What the hell do you want?"

Kusanagi walked to the bench and sat down on the far side away from Hiei. "I came to talk to you."

Hiei glared at the trees ahead. "Well I don't want to talk to you."

Kusanagi sighed heavily. "Look, I don't want to be enemies with you. You may not know this but Blaze felt the safest with you around. I felt her both happy and safe with you. I want the two of us to be friends, for Blaze, ok?"

Hiei glared at Kusanagi. "I don't have to be friends with you, and I don't want to be."

Kusanagi looked at the ground. "Do you see Blaze when you look at me?"

Hiei glared at him. "No, I don't. I see a major resemblance because you two are twins, but I do not see Blaze in you."

Kusanagi smiled at Hiei. "That shows that you really do love her. I asked Koenma the same thing and he said he did. I think that if I ask anyone else, they'd say the same thing."

Hiei looked down and smirked. "Not Yukina."

Kusanagi looked at him in confusion. "Who's Yukina?"

Hiei didn't look at Kusanagi. "She's one of Blaze's closest friends. Yukina and Blaze, they were really something. It was funny to see them together. My sister and my girlfriend, acting like sisters themselves. It made me want to tell Yukina who I really am to her, but there's still the possibility of her hating me."

Kusanagi looked down. "We're not too different you and I."

Hiei looked at him with a glare. He was about to say something when Kusanagi stopped him. "I'm kinda frightened to tell Blaze I'm her twin brother. I'm scared she'll hate me for never being there for her. I watched her when she lived with those awful ningens. I had to watch them treat her poorly. I watched her live her life without her ears, without the happiness of being with someone you love.

"When you and your friends came into her life, she was hesitant at first but then she would smile more, and it would be a real smile. She was happy, and then when those ningens died, she was sad. Even though they hurt her, she had some love for them, but she was also extremely happy that they were gone. When the four of you left, she went back to her usual, depressed self. I can tell you now, the four people that you guys fought that night; they were part of a larger group. And that group is probably the same ones that made Blaze leave."

Hiei stared at Kusanagi.

Kusanagi's eyes flashed pure silver for a moment. "Blaze is out of the portal."

Hiei's eyes filled with happiness for a moment before they went emotionless. "Where is she at?"

Kusanagi sighed. "I think she's in America, but I don't know where, and I don't think she wants to be found."

Hiei stood up and glared at Kusanagi. "I don't care if she wants to be found or not, I'm going to find her."

A portal appeared and Hiei jumped through it. The portal disappeared and Kusanagi chuckled and smiled.

"That boy really is in love with her." His face drained of emotion. "I just hope he can help Blaze more than I could." With that Kusanagi stood and walked into the black and blue portal he summoned.

The portal disappeared, leaving no one in the park.
