From last time:

"Ouchy. That hurt Hiei." I said as I tried to push him off. He wasn't moving. "It's your own fault Onna. You shouldn't have run." replied Hiei. "Will you get off me already." I asked well still trying to push Hiei off. "No Onna I won't. I'm going to get you back for you little trick earlier." replied Hiei with a slight smirk playing on his lips. "Oh come on. Wasn't making me wear a dress pay back enough?" I asked. "No it wasn't. I'm going to make you pay and you'll wish you had never played that trick." He replied with a slight chuckle "GET THE HECK OFF ME NOW!!!!!" I yelled. "Hn. No Onna." Hiei replied in a very commanding voice and started... tickling me. "HA HA HA HA HA" I laughed as he tickled. He stopped after he relised I could barely breath and then he kissed my forehead right were my jagan eye was.

Now on with this chapter.

"Ok, ok Lorea. Just calm down would you." said a still surprised Kurama. "Fine. "Lorea stated plainly "God, now I'm acting like Kaija. What's going on with me?" Lorea said to herself. "You are not acting like my sister." Kurama said with a hint of laughter in his voice. "Right I'm just yelling random things at people for the heck of it and I'm not acting just like Kaija." replied an aggravated Lorea. "Your not. If you were acting like Kaija you would be yelling at me and threating to kill me." replied Kurama. "Yeah yeah yeah. Kurama why does Kaija threaten to kill you?" asked a confused Lorea. "She always threatens to kill me because my evil little sister hates me because I nearly killed her a few hundred years ago." replied Kurama.

"I told you I was going to make you pay Kaija." said a laughing Hiei. "I know Hiei I know." I replied trying to think of a way to get him to get off me and stop laughing. "Don't even try to get away Onna, you'll only hurt yourself." said an angering Hiei. "How did you know what I was thinking?" I asked in a scared voice. "That is none of your concern Onna. Not right now anyway." replied a still angering Hiei. "Wh... wh... why are you so angry Hiei?" I said in a stuttering scared voice. "I'm getting so angry because you won't stop struggling." replied an angry Hiei. I shrank back in fear of the tone in his voice and he eased his grip a bit ,but not much, after seeing the look of fear in my eyes. "Please let go Hiei I must surely have large bruises on my wrists and it feels like my back is going to break. Can you please get off me?" I begged looking at him with pleading eyes. "No I can't. Baka Onna." Said Hiei in a monotone.

"Really Kurama. I never knew that." said a frightened Lorea. "It is a sad truth. Luckily for her our parents came in right in the middle of the fight and stopped it before I could finish her off." replied a sad Kurama. "Well that's a good thing I'm very grateful to your parents. What were you fighting about?" asked Lorea. "Well we were just training and then we started arguing and it went from training to a full scale fight." replied Kurama. "Oh, well that's always a good reason isn't it?" said Lorea.

"Why not" I cried with tears sliding down my cheeks. He stared at me like I asked him the time and replied by gripping my wrists tighter then ever. "Because baka onna, I love you. That's why." stated Hiei in a low almost whisper. "If you loved me then you wouldn't hurt me so?" I asked nodding to my wrists that were bruising around his hands. "I'm the one who thinks love is a weakness, yet I love you. That's why" replied a calming Hiei. "Still please, let go before you shatter my wrists." I begged and he listened this time. "Fine but if Kurama and Lorea know about it I will lie. Do you understand?" He stated. "Ok and yes I do." I replied.

"Well that's what happened and why she hates me so much." said Kurama. "I can believe it, but why was she on earth?" asked a confused Lorea. "Well she's as you said earlier a hired assassin and she killed someone and got caught, sent to earth, and came back to the Makai." replied Kurama. "Oh my, well she is known to get caught like a deer in headlights." said Lorea. They walked and came up to Kaija and Hiei.

Hiei pulled me to my feet after having gotten off me. "Thank you so much." I said well hugging him. "Get off me Onna. Now." said Hiei. I jumped off him and we both relised that Kurama and Lorea were right there. "What was all that about little sister?" asked Kurama putting emphasis on the words 'little sister'. "Nothing Kurama, that is of your concern at any rate." I replied in a cold voice. "Then maybe I should tell Koenma that you came to the Makai after his clear stating of your not coming here. Hmm. Kaija?" replied Kurama in an even colder voice. I began to cry "fa fa fine tell him! I don't care anymore." I ran out of the room with tears streaking down my cheeks. "What got into her?" asked Lorea as they all watched Kurama storm out of the room. "Well the last time Kurama spoke to her that coldly was when she was about 101 and they were training and he was still Youko Kurama." said Hiei. "Oh well I do suppose that we should find them and keep them both from killing each other. Don't you?" stated Lorea. "Yes but you should know that he's changing into Youko Kurama." said Hiei. They both walked off.

Hiei searched the entire floor and still couldn't find me. "Where are you Kaija?" muttered Hiei to himself. I continued running down the halls trying to find a quiet place that wouldn't bring back too many bad or sad memories of my past. Hiei ran around the corner and yelled "Kaija get your but back here. NOW!!!" I continued running even though I knew that it would have been easier to just go over there.

Lorea was in search of Kurama but she didn't know what she was looking for. Youko was just walking into the library and saw that Lorea was close behind. "Why are you following me girl." Youko asked in an icy cold voice. "So you don't kill your little sister, Kaija" replied Lorea in a small scarred voice. "What I do to that brat is none of your concern. Do you understand?" stated Youko flatly. "NO!!! I DON'T UNDERSTAND KURAMA!!!" yelled an angry Lorea. "One little hint girl, my name is Youko Kurama not just Kurama. Also go away, before I decide to kill you." stated Youko in an icy cold voice.

Hiei continued to chase me as I ran around another corner. Hiei sped up and ran ahead of me and I ran into him. "OUCHY!!!!!" I squeaked as I hit the floor with a hard thud. "Onna calm down before you hurt yourself or any of the rest of us." warned Hiei in a threating voice. "I wasn't planing on it baka. I was trying to find the kitchen because I was hungry and kind of sad. The kitchen brings back only good memories." I mumbled. "Well your going the wrong way. We passed the kitchen on our way into the house." replied Hiei. "No I'm not. This place has about 5 kitchens. I'm going to the 3ed one." I said as I started walking again. "Listen to me Kaija. You need to be more reasonable in your actions. You need to stay with me, got it?" replied Hiei before lightly kissing my cheek. "Yeah I got it but I'm not a little girl any more Hiei. I'm perfectly capable of watching out for myself." I replied. "I know you are but I don't want you to get hurt, love." was his reply.

"Look Youko or whoever you are I'm not in the mood to have to defend either one of you. I'm in love with your alter ego, the 16 year old Kurama Minamino." muttered Lorea. "I don't care, listen girl I'm not in the mood to deal with you. Now leave me be." stated Youko in a cold voice. "Fine but don't come crying to me when Kaija kicks your ass into the ningenkai." replied Lorea. "She's not strong enough to even scratch me." stated an unfazed Youko. "Look, you haven't seen her in a few years, she's gotten a lot stronger then you realize. I guess your just too aragent to think that your younger sister could surpass you in level." hissed Lorea. "Shut up girl. There is no way in hell that my bitch of a sister could ever be stronger then me." Youko hissed in reply.

"Fine I'll stay with you." I said as I kissed his lips. "That's a good girl, now come here." said Hiei. I walked over to him as he pulled me onto his lap as he sat down. He hugged me tightly and I smiled. "Why do you always hide your emotions?" I asked as he put his head on my shoulder. "Well I was taught that those who show emotion were weak. I don't want to be weak or appear weak so I hide my emotions." was the reply. "Look, with me you don't have to hide your emotions, unless we're fighting someone." I replied. "Ok don't worry Kaija." he said as he hugged me again. "Ok so where are Lorea and Kurama?" I asked quietly. "Well after you and Kurama had your fight, he transformed into Youko and stormed off. Lorea went to follow him so I don't know where either of them are." replied Hiei in a quiet tone. "Lets check the library, it was his favorite place to hide away other then his room." I stated.

"Yes there is. It's called, she trains a lot and gets better. She's changed a lot sense you last saw her." Lorea said. "Look there is no way she could have changed that much. Being her brother I would know her limits. They are very tiny." replied Youko "Look, she has surpassed her limits." stated Lorea. "Look, I'm not going to waste my time fighting with you, lets just go look for her and Hiei." said Youko. "Ok by me, but your not going to try to kill Kaija are you?" asked a concerned Lorea. "No, I guess I won't." replied Youko. They ran down the halls Youko in the front. "Do you know where your going?" Lorea asked Youko. "Yes, we're going to a spot where she was always able to be found." replied Youko. "Where's that?" asked Lorea. "The kitchen on the 4th floor. It's the only one our parents never went in to find her." replied Youko.

"No we're going to stay put because I'm not letting you get me lost." Stated Hiei in a monotone. "Grrr. Fine I won't go anywhere." I growled in reply as I sat down on the counter. "There's a good girl." muttered Hiei as he looked in the cupboards for something to eat. "You want anything to eat?" asked Hiei. "No I don't, and your not going to find anything in those. There completely empty." I mumbled.

"Hurry up girl." Yelled Youko. "I'm going as fast as I can. I'm not as fast as either you or Kaija." replied Lorea in a tired voice. "That is not my problem." stated Youko as he slowed down a little so Lorea could catch up. "Yes it is. For you have to wait for me." was Lorea's snappy reply. "No I don't. I could leave you here, or I could pick you up and carry you the rest of the way or I could also slow down." replied the silver haired fox. "I think I'll go with the third one because I don't enjoy being lost or lifted into the air or over someones shoulder." stated Lorea. "Deal with it. I want to get there as soon as possible So, up you go." replied Youko as he lifted Lorea up over his shoulder.

"Why? What kind of family doesn't keep the cupboards stocked?" asked Hiei. "There empty because we never use this kitchen and thats the reason the cupboards aren't stocked." I replied laughing slightly. "I'm never going to understand you, am I?" asked Hiei. "Nope I don't think you are. It's quite funny really." I replied. "I'll show you funny." he said as he knocked me to the ground and started tickling me. "Stop it Hiei." I said well laughing. "No I don't want to." he replied watching my face turn red from laughter.

"LET ME GO. NOW." Lorea yelled as she hit Youko's back. "Will you stop it. You wanted to get there faster, so now we're going faster so shut up." replied Youko as he was being hit. "NO I WILL NOT STOP. NOT UNTILL YOU LET ME GO." yelled Lorea as she continued to hit Youko's back. "I said stop it girl." replied Youko as he snapped his fingers and small vines tied Lorea's wrists. "Don't ever hit me again it may very well be the last thing you ever do." muttered Youko. "HEY WHY DID YOU GO AND DO THAT?" demanded Lorea very loudly. "I had told you too stop hitting me. Did I not?" stated Youko.

"Come on Hiei. I can barely breath. Please stop it." I begged as he continued to tickle me. "Oh come on don't be a baby." replied Hiei as I turned a brighter shade of red. "I'm not." I choked out. "Oh fine I'll stop." muttered Hiei. I took a few deep breaths as my face turned back to its original color. "Good God man. Are you trying to kill me." I said slightly freaked out. "Maybe, maybe not." he replied simply. "GAH!!!" I yelled as Hiei got to his feet. "Relax onna. I would never intentionally kill you." stated Hiei as he helped me up. "Give me your Katana Hiei." I said in a monotone. "Why?" he asked. "I'm not letting you near anything sharp when you want to play a trick on me." I replied as I held out my hand for the Katana. "Your not getting it onna. Unless you can take it from me, and I don't think you can do that." he said almost cheerfully. "Don't underestimate me Hiei." I said as I ran at him. "Too slow love." he said as he ran in a circle around the room. "GRR... I will catch you." I called to him. "I'd like to see you do that Kaija." he replied.

"You did? I didn't hear you." asked Lorea. "Yes I did. You need to listen better next time." replied Youko. "Well can ya let me go?" asked Lorea. "No I don't think I will." he replied as he began to run down the hall again. "Why on earth not?" asked Lorea. "Because now you can't hit me or hurt me in any way." he replied. "GAH!!!!!" yelled Lorea.

I watched as Hiei ran round and round the room. "Come on love. Try to get the sword." Hiei called as he circled the room. "I'm thinking. Give me a break if my big brother taught me how to fight." I called back. "Oh great. Just what we need, another strategist" he replied. "Oh don't be so mean." I said from right behind him as I grabbed the weapon "Huh. How did you get..." Hiei started. "Well you were running, it was an easy grab. You seem to forget who my brother is." I replied smirking. "How could I forget. I never would have thought that Youko Kurama would have taught his tricks to anyone but maybe his kids, if and when he had any." stated Hiei. "Yeah my parents almost forced him to." I said as I put his Katana into my belt. Hiei made to grab at the Katana. "Give it back, Onna. Now" stated Hiei still trying to get the blade back. "No. I'm not taking any chances in you 'unintentionally' killing me as a joke." I replied.

"Oh shut up girl. It's not that bad." stated Youko. "Your not the one bouncing around on someone else's shoulder." she retorted harshly. "I know, but it can't be that bad." he replied calmly. "Yes it can." stated Lorea as she began pounding Youko in the back with her bound hands. "STOP THAT." yelled Youko. "Put me down this instant." demanded Lorea. "You want me to put you down?" asked Youko with a smirk. Lorea nodded and Youko pulled her off his shoulder and held her over the side of the stair rail. "Ok, I'll let you go." I stated as he began to let go. "No no no don't let go." yelled a panicking Lorea as she tried to grab onto his arm. "I thought so. So shut up and don't hit me. Got it." said Youko. "Yeah I got it." replied Lorea.

"Katana. Onna. Now." growled Hiei. "Never." I yelled. "NOW!!!" yelled an aggravated Hiei. "No." I replied. "Give me the weapon Kaija." stated Hiei as he grabbed my arms. "No." I replied shortly. "Don't make me hurt you Kaija." he said as he griped my arms tighter. "Ouchy. Your hurting me." I wined. "I know." he replied shortly. "Your not getting this weapon back until your not mad any longer." I said. "hn." was my reply as he griped my arms even tighter. "Look Hiei, it's not that I don't trust your temper control, it's just that you've already almost killed my once today alone." I whispered "What was that Onna?" Hiei asked even though he knew. "Nothing Hiei. Nothing." I replied as he glared at me.

"Good. And now we're here." stated Youko "Kaija, Kaija, are you in there." called Lorea through the door. "Just go in already." drawled Youko. "No, I'm not going to be rude." stated Lorea as she knocked on the door waiting for a reply. "Listen girl, your getting me angry and I have full access to a great supply of plants. Things won't bode well for you." Youko replied.

"You said something along the lines of it's not that I don't trust your temper control, it's just that you've already almost killed me once today alone. But I do believe that I heard something at the door." said Hiei calmly. "Yes I did hear something at the door, it's most likely just Youko and Lorea." I replied. "Well open the door." demanded Hiei. "Fine." I said as I went to the door and opened it slowly. "Let us in Kaija." demanded Youko. "Hn. No." I replied closing the door again. "Let us in baka shojo." called Youko through the door. "Why would I go and do that?" I asked. "Because I'm your older brother. You have to do as I say." barked Youko. "Fine." I mumbled as I opened the door a crack. Youko pushed the door open all the way knocking me over in the process. "Ummm... That hurt ya dumb kitsune." I stated well holding my nose. "Is it broken? No. Well then it's not my problem." replied Youko. I glared as my nose started to bleed. "Youko that wasn't nice, now change back to Kurama this instant." demanded Lorea. "Well I have to soon." he replied sullenly as he started to turn back into Kurama. "My nose is so broken baka." I said trying to make is stop bleeding. "Oh my God, Kaija!!!" screamed Lorea. "These girls scream a lot, don't they Kurama." stated Hiei. "I have to agree, they do. I think I'll help Kaija though so she doesn't bleed to death." replied Kurama as he knelt down and pulled out a seed and popped it into my mouth. "Will it make her stop bleeding, as well as screaming?" asked Hiei. "No it will only stop the screaming, this will stop the bleeding." Kurama replied and held up another seed. "Good make it work NOW!!!" hollered Hiei. "Yep." Kurama muttered as he popped the seed into my mouth.

"Oh my God, it's your fault I was bleeding in the first place so I had every right to scream." I shreaked. "Shut up, Onna. I will make you!" Hiei stated in a monotone. "Look Kaija, we just try to help you, now swallow the seed before I get angry." Kurama stated. "I did baka." I hissed at the the three in front of me. "Open." demanded Lorea. I opened my mouth showing no seed. "Blow Kaija, I know how you hide your meds." Kurama demanded. "Fine baka." I retorted and then blew for about 25 seconds. "Wow. For once you took your meds without a problem." stated a shocked Lorea and Kurama. "Is that odd, she seems like the type to do whatever someone says.?" asked Hiei, confused like. "She hates taking meds. She thinks that someone is going to give her a wrong dosage and try to kill her, that they will give her a poison, or that some other strange side effect will happen." Lorea replied. "When she was little she thought our mother and father were going to use a mind control seed, plant, or root on her and rule her life. She also thinks that all medications are evil and parent spawn." Kurama stated. "Oh really. I could probably change that with a few talks and other stuff like that. If you want her to continue taking her medication like she did today." Hiei stated as Lorea watched me crawl towards the door. "Ummm. She trying to get out. Someone other then me stop her." shreaked Lorea. "Kaija get your ass back here." stated Hiei in a monotone. "Never, I'm free." I shreaked back as I got up and ran out the door. Hiei ran after me and grabbed my wrist before I rounded the corner completely. "Hey Kurama, do those seeds make a person delirious, crazy, or other ways in a complete daze and unable to comprehend what's going on around them?" asked Hiei. "Maybe, but it's never happened to the rest of the people I've treated, in either life time, but I suppose it could happen." Kurama replied. "Ok did I miss something? You people all confuse me so I'll be leaving now." Lorea stated. "Stay put Rea." Kurama said. "Why, I want to go exploring." wined Lorea. "No baka onna." muttered Hiei. "Oh why not Hiei?" Lorea asked. "Hn." Hiei replied. "Leave me be baka's." I shreaked as I ran off again. Hiei grabbed my wrist tightly "your not going anywhere."

A/N: I'm going to leave it here. I know I'm gonna get smacked for this by most of my reviewers.

Hiei: But R&R or she'll cry and I'll come to your house and yell at you.

Me: Stop being mean Hiei-kun.
