Silverwing013: I own all the made up characters in this story and their relationships with the real ones. However the real Yu Yu Hakusho characters do not belong to me.


She had the wind take her up and behind him, to tap him on the shoulder "Hey."

He whipped his annoyed face to stare slightly down at the human girl. Her eyes were about even with his nose. He isn't much taller than me, she thought surprised.

There was a loud 'sfft' and the boy growled, "Do that again and I'll cut open your throat!"

She eyed the sword at her throat and then back to the boy. Maybe I had a wrong feeling before; she thought warily, no one should be a friend of mine. He didn't scare her at all, considering what she has seen in the past few years.

The girl loudly heaved a bored sigh. "Nice introduction." She said sarcastically. She stepped back off the branch from nearly 50 feet in the air; fell freely to the ground, lightly on her feet; to start walking away. The wind breezed by her ear for her to hear, Hiei.

Hiei stood surprised for a second. She didn't seem scared at all, he thought. Who in the three worlds was she? Any normal pathetic human would be in the hospital after such a jump. These thoughts jumped through his head and then landed on the thought, a Forbidden Hunter. He quickly jumped in front of her walking away.

"Who in the heck are you? And what do you want?" He said slightly confused by her lack of reaction from up above. This time he did not place his sword on her since it did not seem to faze her.

"Mikko Songs. I did want to talk to you." She put the emphasis on the word did, but Hiei got stuck on the word talk.

That's all this human girl wanted to do? Was to talk? That's a stupid thing to ask of me, Hiei thought, his head not really paying real close attention. Talk was not big on Hiei's list of things he liked to do. Little did he know it wasn't big on Mikko's list either. Since she didn't want any friends from moving around often, what was the point of letting people know her?

"Talk. Hn." Hiei turned away, but didn't go anywhere. She didn't look dangerous. She looked normal enough, even helpless. From her head all the way down to her odd shoes. She was even smaller than him. Maybe she wasn't one of those certain people he was worrying about before she tapped his shoulder. So, he came to the conclusion, nothing to worry about her intentions. He started walking away.

"Talking isn't something I do much. Why not you just come and eat with me on a picnic? We don't have to talk," she added in the last part at his facial expression.

"What!" Hiei stopped, standing stalk still, his head now wide awake. A…a picnic? She's lost her marbles! The human world has gone insane! No one ever asked Hiei before. Much less a human. Before he could respond, Mikko grabbed his arm that was stubbornly folded across his chest, and pulled him toward a place in the park to eat. "Of course, I'm not forcing you. You can leave."

Hiei remained quiet. He had stood on the spot, stubbornly; and now she was dragging him across the forest floor covered with autumn leaves, still standing. Jezz and crap. He blinked at her in slight awe. No one had even been able to drag him when he remained stubborn on the spot, except perhaps Kurama or the detective Yusuke. I should see if she's a threat or a Forbidden Hunter, Hiei thought, and the best way is to just let her drag me and see how long she can keep it up. Which he thought wouldn't last long at all.


"Akuna?"

"What!"

"There's something you might want to know."

"Are we going the wrong way?" she whipped around at him.

"No,but-"

"Shut up then. We are going to get that girl once and for all."

Kuanja sighed. He was so under appreciated. He glanced behind them for a second and followed his partner.


Everyone had finished up eating Keiko's food and Yusuke laid out lazily on the ground, snoozing away. The girls were helping Keiko put the food back into the basket. "Hey Lazybones." Kuwabara poked at Yusuke. "Help out with the girls."

"Me Help? What about YOU helping out!" Yusuke yelled at him. They glared down at each other again.

Kurama rolled his eyes, starting to smile at the two. "There they go again." He suddenly noticed a couple picnicking nearby and froze at the sight of the annoyed male sitting on the picnic blanket. How did he not notice them before?

"Kurama," said a questioning voice. "hum," said Kurama absentmindedly. "Whatcha looking at Kurama?"

"Isn't that Hiei?" He asked, looking up at the voice that asked what he was looking at. The voice was Botan's.

"You're right! Lets go say hi!"

"Uh…I wouldn't do that if I were you." Kurama remarked. Hiei looked plenty annoyed to him. But Botan was alreadly heading over with the others following behind. Hiei wouldn't like this. Kurama shook his head and slowly followed the others.


Hiei looked back down at the sticky yellow substance. They tasted sweet and sour all at the same time. "What are these?" He asked, breaking his pack to himself not to talk to her.

Mikko giggled as Hiei grabbed some more. "Haven't you ever had Lemon Drops before, Hiei? They're my favorite candy. Sweet, sour, bitter…they cover it all. Just like the world does. You can't help but like them."

"How do you know my name?" Hiei said angrily. He was confounded on how she knew when he hadn't said. "I never gave you my name." Hiei stared at her, demanding how she knew her name.

"You didn't?" Mikko said uncomfortable. "You didn't say what it was to me? I thought you said your name was Hiei."

"No." Hiei leaned toward her, still staring. "How do you know my name?"

Mikko scratched the back of her head uncomfortable like. "Uh…. That's kind of complicated. I don't quite how I know myself. The closest I can describe the feeling is that the … that the wind told me. That sounds silly, but I don't know how myself."

"You lie!" Hiei abortly stood up from his comfortable sitting position. Her strong strength, her request to picnic with him, her sudden knowledge of his name. "Your one of the Forbidden Hunters, aren't you?"

Mikko's eyes widened. "What?" she half whispered, the other half remembering her first memory she could remember….

…………………………………………

"Your powers are useless against me, Forbidden Child," said the female voice from the dungeon door.

The young girl that had been thrown on the dirty floor looked up at the female talking, Akuna. "My name is Mikko. Mikko Songs," she pronounced clearly word for word, distain thrown into her voice.

The male next to her laughed along with Akuna. "Mikko Songs. That's a laugh. I think the shock has made you forget your real name, Forbidden Child."

The girl glared at the male, Kuanja, and gave out a yell of anguish. A blast of sudden wind blew at him. Kuanja laughed once again and put up a single hand to block it. The girl gasped. "How…how did…did I…do that?"

Akuna laughed. "The shock even knocked out what she is. You need a lesson, Forbidden Child." Akuna stamped over and punched the young girl in the face several times. The girl did not shed a tear but glared at them….

…………………………………………….

"You are." Hiei growled. This was the certain people he had been worried about. Just to get to him, they would do anything. Anything. "You won't get me without a fight."

"I don't want to fight you silly. I wanted a picnic. Who are these 'Forbidden Hunters'?"

Hiei pulled off the cloth on his forehead to reveal his Jagan eye. Mikko gasped. "Hiei….." her voice trailed off into emptiness. Why did he have a third eye?

"Hn." Hiei sat back down and took out another Lemon Drop to pop into his mouth. Then he covered up his Jagan eye.

"Hiei?" He looked up at Mikko. "What was-"

"I believe you." He said begrudgingly, sucking on the Lemon Drop. "huh?" Mikko said confused. "Your not a Forbidden Hunter."

"Well then the lest you could do is say that your sorry." Mikko said heatedly. "And explain that eye thing of yours."

"It's my Jagan eye," Hiei said irritated. "Oh. I see now." There was a long silence as Hiei sucked on his Lemon Drop and looked away from Mikko as she stared at him.

"Well…?" Mikko questioned. Hiei faced around and glared at her. "Aren't you going to apologize for accusing me?"

Hiei, apologize? Not even in hell he would say those words. His eyes narrowed at the human. "No." he said annoyed. "I apologize to no one."

"Oh?" Mikko's eyebrow raised, "I see." She goes back to eating her sandwich slowly, not looking straight at Hiei. Hiei sits uncomfortable-like on his side of the picnic blanket, picking away at his own sandwich.

How dare this human girl make him feel uncomfortable? Why isn't she running away? The measly human girl should be, Hiei thought angrily. Whatever the heck she's doing is working. I will not apologize, he thought stubbornly. Sorrys were made for human's pathetic excuses. What demon in their right mind would do such a thing? Kurama the exception here. Because he was in that measly human body form. Anytime with him before that, would be the right kind of demon. Hiei was certain on that.

Hiei reached for another sandwich. They weren't half bad, he thought grudgingly. The girl's parents probably made them. Pathetic human girl. Hiei lived off his own wits in this city, while other fortunate people got to live happy free with their parents and didn't have to worry about such things. Things such as, stealing, 'borrowing' such needed things, letting some steam off the occasional person who bothered him. But that last one had nothing to do with living in the city, that was Hiei's fun to have. Bet they had fun in the hospital, he chuckled in his head.

Mikko reached out for Hiei's hand as it snaked down for the sandwich. He looked up at her and his eyes came up to only see her big green/blue eyes starring at his fiery red ones. Her eyes seemed to change from one color to the other. Hiei yanked his arm away from her loose grasp.

How dare she! Dangerous thoughts came into Hiei's head. "Don't apologize. I should have known you wouldn't say those words. It's my own fault." Mikko kept her apologizing eyes on Hiei's own. Hiei wished she wouldn't do that. Why did she have to stare like he was, was, was a close friend? She already thought she knew him so well.

Mikko looked down at Hiei's eyes. They were a brilliant crimson color, but they were clouded over. Hiding something. He's hiding lots of things. Just like me hiding from those two chasers, she thought sadly. There must be some secret in the past that I hold, she thought desperatly. She felt there were many things hidden in her history. He was so much like her. Didn't talk much, did he?

Mikko giggled slightly and looked off to the side, trying to hide what she had been thinking just moments ago. She looked back at Hiei, the surprised and glaring eyes from her laughter. Hoping this would pass for her laughter she explained, "This is the most I've said to anybody. Not with me running off all the time."

Now Mikko's eyes were clouded over. Hiei looked away from her face. She was slightly smaller than him; her face still had some baby fat, but seemed to be the same age as him. Her eyes twinkled brightly on her face full of life. Her eyes, the thing he so needed to get away from. He hated the way it made him feel. I don't want to feel anything for anybody, Hiei thought viciously. Crappy feelings only got in the way of more important things.

Running away? Maybe she ran away from home or lives out on the street. Living on her own. Hiei has lived out on his own. A new feeling rushed over him. Stupid mating season. God dang it. No more darn feelings. Parents were killed because of that! Hiei gave no sign of the slight sadness he felt from never meeting them.

"Running…" Hiei trailed off, not aware of speaking it.

"Away." Mikko finished. "I live up at the apartments. Don't got no parents. You tell me if that's good or bad." She shrugged and took a large bite out of an apple.

Hiei starred at the human girl. He hadn't expected an answer, but…."What happened?"

Mikko dropped her eyes down at the checkered blanket. "I don't know. Or I don't remember. Anything before six is forgotten. Listen to me rambling this information off. I guess what I forgot, is the reason why they follow me."

"Who?" Asked Hiei trying not to look too interested.

She shook her head. "Forget it."

"No," Hiei said now intent on knowing who could drag this girl around. "Tell who, or else."

"No. I said to forget it. So forget it," Mikko folded her arms and looked at him stubbornly.

"I won't."

"You will."

"Won't!"

"Will!

"Won't! Just tell me, it'll shorten up the argument."

"No it won't," Mikko crossed her arms. "I can be stubborn if I want."

"Grrr…hn, I don't care anyway," Hiei said disappointed she wouldn't just say who. His Jagan started probing her mental fields for an answer. It hit a wall. Dang! Who in the heck was this human girl? He tried to probe again and got the same result. Hiei grrr'd mentally at himself in anger.

"Yes you do," Mikko slightly smiled at him.

"No, I don't," Hiei growled out at her.

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes and checkmate," Mikko made a flourishing movement with her hand to move her bottle of water to another square in the checkered picnic blanket, as if moving a real chess piece.

Hiei blinked at the action. "Hn. Why would I care w-"

Mikko cut his sentence off short. The wind breezed by, People are coming to see Hiei and you. Loud shushing sounds came from her mouth, "People are coming."

Hiei looked oddly at the human girl. His Jagan detected nobody out of the ordinary. And his ordinary other two eyes saw no one around. Crazy mental human girl, he thought.

"Fine," she said shortly and annoyed. "Don't believe me." She stuck her nose up in the air as far as it could go and failed the look of high supremacy. She settled just to glare down at his face and then continued eating her food.

A lemon drop was picked up by the two of them at the same time and tossed in their mouths. They noticed each other and glared before ignoring the other to continue to munch through the food.

She's stubborn enough to match me, Hiei thought.

Stubborn male, Mikko thought, hum..to be expected with how stubborn I can be.


"Hiei! You-Woo! Who's your cute friend?" Hiei glared over at the cheerful voice. Botan bounced on over to were Hiei and Mikko sat. The rest of the gang followed, started to congratulate Hiei on his 'new friend.' All except Kurama, who smartly kept his mouth shut.

Hiei stood up again and glared angrily at them. No wonder his Jagan detected no one out of ordinary. How did Mikko know, he puzzled over for a millisecond. This is not something I want them to congratulate me on. He'd rather they never came over. This was embarrassing enough without them coming over. Hiei sneaked a quick peek over at Mikko for her reaction. She didn't look surprised that they were here but she was blushing slightly. Realizing what he was doing Hiei quickly looked away and had a faint blush creeping up. Shit! Hiei thought angrily at himself, I could have been caught looking at her like that!

Only Kurama noticed. Did Hiei have feelings for this human girl? That's odd. He never wants to ever get close to people. Kurama couldn't figure out why suddenly Hiei would open up like this. Maybe around now Kurama could tell him what Hiei meant to him. A friend.

"Cute?" Mikko said, blushing slightly.

"She always talks like that," said the boy with his dark hair slicked back. A blue penguin-like bird sat on top of his head. What the heck is that thing, she thought out to the wind. Spirit Beast called Puu. Came the answer of the wind. This spirit beast, Mikko thought, is is is ….now that thing was cute, not her.

"I'm Botan! Messenger of Spirit World and keeper of souls, I greet -Ow! Yusuke!" Said the same blue haired girl from before. The boy with the spirit beast, Yusuke, had hit her in the head.

"How is she supposed to need to know that stupid?" Yusuke shouted at her.

"You have a problem with that!" Botan flared out at him.

Keiko, Kuwabara, and Yukina congratulated Hiei on his new friend.

"About time that shrimp's done some socializin' with the ladies." Was Kuwabara's comment.

"Yeah I got a problem with that! What the hell do you think Botan!" Yusuke's voice continued.

"Yusuke! Quit yelling at Botan!" Cried out the girl with short brown hair, that Mikko recognized from somewhere.

"At least I introduced myself Yusuke!" Botan shouted on at Yusuke.

"Yusuke! Calm down so Hiei's friend can introduce herself! Hi I'm Keiko." Said the same brown haired girl. Mikko then realized this was the same girl from school that felt sorry for her.

"Puu! Puu!" Cried out the spirit beast, true to it's name.

"You have a big mouth just like Kuwabara!" Yusuke plowed on at Botan.

"Hey! And what do you call you, loudmouth!" Kuwabara's voice now entered the argument.

"Who you calling loudmouth!" Yusuke shouted back at the tall, gangly, Kuwabara.

"SHUUUUUUUT UUUUUUUUUUUPPP!" Everyone shut up and looked at Hiei in surprise. His aura was bright crimson now and held up his right arm, where a small dark flame appeared in his palm.

"Eeeek! Hiei, you wouldn't dare!" Said Botan who hid slightly behind Yusuke, forgetting the earlier argument with him.

"Hiei…!" Yusuke said.

"The shrimp wouldn't!" Kuwabara said disbelievingly into the void of empty air, Yukina still standing at his side.

Hiei laughed. "Fools. Never mess with me!" And with that he disappeared, leaving traces of black trailing behind him. Mikko looked almost sadly at where he had stood and started gathering up her picnic food. Oh well, I got a little bit of my wish today, she thought. Good enough for a birthday.


A teenage boy with a bright orange mop of hair and rather pointy ears, followed the pair would had killed his parents and kidnapped his sister some years earlier. His bare feet moved noiselessly on the ground.

At last he had found them after all these years. His sister had been six and the bare-footed boy was only seven when they came. Those dang Forbidden Hunters. His sister was born with the power of the wind and was immediately an outcast of the village. So he, his parents, and his sister went to live out in the country.

After his sister was taken captive and he had almost got killed, the boy had gone to become a wind master, in hopes of finding her. He could still see her fighting fiercely at the ones who killed their parents. The first time she ever used her powers as weapons. It was scary.

And he could still remember the nicknames they gave each other as kids. He smiled in remembrance of the nickname and his ears wiggled slightly.

Kuanja spoke to the demon girl with a word, "Akuna."

"WHAT is it?"

Kuanja tilted his to the side and glanced behind them, hoping she would get his drift. She did and raced behind them to grab the mop headed boy hidden in the trees. "Is this it?" Kuanja nodded.

"He looks familiar….Do I know him?" Akuna questioned.

"Hm…someone…isn't that the brother? What was his name?" Kuanja wondered out loud.

"What have you done to me sister?" The boy asked with an accent.

Akuna smiled. "This will be fun."

Kuanja grinned back.

"What are YOU grinning at?" His smile faded.


Silverwing013: So the new gal in this story goes by the name of Mikko Songs. Looks like Hiei's mating season is going to cause a small problem, won't it? Course, there are more reasons behind his liking for this girl. No one shall know about that one until Hiei finds out for himself. She is certainly being chased by quite a few people. King Enma and that number seven of his, Akuna and Kuanja, Koenma is going after her….Man, what is so interesting about this girl that they're all going after her?

Niana Kuonji- I didn't forget u-scratches back of head- how in the heck did the comp erase ur name and me not notice? Considering ur like my fav author, reveiwed on mine, so were obviously a big factor in me posting up this story finally. –scratches head more- oh well, I doubt I'll figure out how the comp did that-shrugs-. The whole bit about the talking between Yukina and Hiei in my other one was intentinal. It was to help show this was the song bit I was allowed to use from hyperaquafairy. Sorry for that. I might change that when I get to that part in this story. Uh…glad I didn't get maimed for not writing this, I think… Yes to Starling, I like the whole ward idea.

Danieru Lee- To the fellow Corn Maiden, Kit, otherwise known to me as just Dani. Yeah, I am growing it out a bit. If I left it as it was, it would be an unfinished 80 pages of almost nothing. I know u luv it, considering what part I gave u in it. Now go get busy and draw ur precious chibis and IRIS. Too bad that doesn't come until The Forbidden Fading. :P We should post all those drawings up, even the Nekoyami one. No matter how much ya'll hate him, he's part of the story. cya at school then crazy.
