Hiei's Love

Chapter 14: Past

"I seriously think we should run!" Yusuke suggested , yelling at the top of his lungs as Ryuichi, in her large demon-wolf like form, snarled and roared ferociously. Not to mention loudly as well.

"No," Hiei, squinted, looking at his lover in the eyes. "I want her back."

"But, Hiei," Kurama tried. "She can't control her demon form! She'll kill us all!"

"Shut up, fox," Hiei replied. "It's better if we're here in front of her. She won't kill her friends. She'll learn how to control it."

'Ryuichi…please control it. I know you can.'

Oh my goodness! I can't control it! Pleeasee!! Help me! Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara!! My love, Hiei! I CAN'T! It's too overwhelming!!

Ryuichi howled and snarled as she fought inside of her. The four stood back, miles and miles away from her feet, making sure they didn't get trampled.

"She can go raging on for about 3 days." Kurama told them.

"No," Yusuke said, "we can't wait that long."

"I know," Hiei said, gripping the hilt of his katana. What was he to do? The only way he thought was to kill her but that was out of the question. Can they wait 3 days for Ryuichi to get back to normal? I highly doubt it since Zaro would be on the prowl for more victims including Ryuichi. This was something even he couldn't figure it out. "She'll find a way. I know she will."

"Let's just hope you're right." Kurama replied as they waited watching as she struggled and cried inside and snarled and roared and howled on the outside.

"Hey, uh, Hiei," Kuwabara asked.

"What?" Hiei asked, glaring at him.

"Maybe there's a way to help her." He replied.

"Really, like how?" Hiei asked again, sarcastically.

"Hey , you know," Kuwabara stuttered, a little.

"There's nothing we can do," Hiei told him. "She has to control her demon side."

Ryuichi roared and howled, screaming in her mind, which the Reikai Tantei could hear perfectly in theirs as well. They clutched their heads as her cry of agony echoed within them.

'Damn she can scream,' Yusuke thought as the scream subsided eventually. It then emerged once more as Ryuichi started jumping around like crazy and roared again. She clawed at herself and bit her arms as blood started dripping.

"What's she doing?" Hiei asked as he was about to save her. Kurama caught him by the arm, explaining.

"Don't Hiei," he started. "She's drawing blood so the pain can ease her. As she draws more blood, she'll be unconscious."

"And that's a good thing?" Kuwabara asked. He was baffled. It was basically self mutilation.

"No." Kurama replied. "But she's smart. When she wakes up, she'll be in her normal state."

"I got it!" Yusuke smiled. "Good thinking, Ryuichi." Yusuke looked up at her as more blood overflowed. It didn't look too good from where they were standing though. They didn't know what to do, and they didn't want to be killed.

"We can't waste any time though," Kuwabara replied, "we have to kill that Zaro dude." He told Yusuke, who also had the same look.

"Yeah, I know." He looked up at Ryuichi again. Then at Hiei, who just stared at Ryuichi, his eyes unwavering as if he was controlling her. As he was about to say something to Hiei, he cut him off.

"I know, Yusuke." Hiei muttered. 'Ryuichi, you can do it. I know you can.'

"Kurama," Yusuke said. "What do we do?" The red headed fighter looked at him and shook his head. He didn't know, for once. His only suggestion was to wait and find out, which wasn't enough for Yusuke.

Ahhh! Yusuke!!! Kuwabara!!! Kurama!!! Love!!! Botan!!! Please, anyone….HELP ME!!! IT'S KILLING ME INSIDE!!!! ZAROOO…..YOU BASTARD!!! I'lll….I'll….get youu…. Mom….Brother….

Ryuichi was blanking out and she knew it. As she screamed inside she felt lightheaded as she came across pictures in her mind. Pictures, memories and moments that she had locked away in the inner tombs of her mind, never to be released again. But for some reason, it had…which was a definite bad idea. Ryuichi didn't want to remember anything about her past. Nothing at all. That's why she had left them, alone in Makai to fend fro themselves with their friends and what-not. No, she wouldn't feel sympathy now. It had been decades, even centuries, when she left them. Going back would mean facing her past….something she would never do. But…seeing the way she was now, that was probably the only smart thing to do at the time.

"Mom….Koichi…." she whispered as she saw her mother's charming smile, complemented by her beautiful, bright demonic eyes and her ebony straight hair. Her beautiful ivory skin gleamed so beautifully when the moonlight hit it on the exact spot. Ryuichi, she could imagine her mother calling her name so sweetly and innocently like nothing was ever bad. But it was. Everything was. Her mother, with her innocent looks and sweet, sweet smile, was a killer. A born murderer as she and her brother, Koichi were. Her mother was the full, 100 wolf demon that she was, until….until she met Ichiro, her father. He had dark eyes that showed no compassion or mercy. He had dark black hair which rested on his broad shoulders and he had tremendous power. He however was the full, 100 fire demon. They were to never see each other as their group leaders had said, but they disobeyed, as usual. They eventually left, becoming renegades and got married, having two beautiful children. A young fire demon named Koichi, and a fire and wolf demon girl named Ryuichi.

Koichi was just like his father and degraded Ryuichi so much, it pissed her off. He had the same features that Ichiro had except for the eyes. His eyes were a bright red instead. However, Ryuichi's eyes changed color now and then from black to red. Ryuichi as the first to leave, saying she was tired of the life she lived a few months after Ichiro's death. He was killed by former friends from his fire demon tribe. As to this day, she doesn't know if her mother and her brother were alive. "Is it too….late….to…to…say….sorry?" she asked herself as she curled into a ball and hugged herself. A few drips of blood came down the side of her mouth. "Is……..it?"

The humongous wolf fell down, curled into a ball as it shut its eyes. Fur started deteriorating as Ryuichi came back to her normal form, in a puddle full of blood. She wasn't moving and she wasn't breathing, which was a bad sign. A real bad sign for Hiei as everyone rushed to her side.

"Oh my god…" Kuwabara looked in shock as he saw the cuts and gashes on her arms and legs. "you're something."

"Love….Ryuichi…" Hiei whispered in her ear as he shook her furiously. "Wake up, goddammit!" he cried.

"Hiei…" Kurama held him back by the shoulders.

"NO!" he refused to ignore her as he started fighting his grip. "Let me go, Kurama!!" he murderously hissed as tears came down. "I don't want to lose her again."

"I assure you, " Kurama put his hand on Hiei's left shoulder as he grasped Ryuichi's arm. "she will be fine." He felt her to see if she was still alive and she was, but barely. A few gasps escaped her lips, but nothing more.

"What do we do, now?" Yusuke asked, particularly to no one. He scratched his head and look over his shoulder in case Zaro's demons were attacking them again. Nothing.

"We can't just stop here." Kuwabara told them. "We still gotta beat that Zaro dude, or whatever." Kurama got up, leaving Hiei's side and went with Yusuke and Kuwabara.

"Let's see if we can rest here for the night. Besides, Ryuichi, as you can see, needs to recover and open her eyes." Kurama replied as the three started walking and treading through the vast, desolate plain to find anytime of shelter.

'Ryuichi...koi...wake up...' Hiei thought to himself as he took Ryuichi's small hands into his, as if grasping on to dear life would awaken her. It hadn't however. He wondered though, what was happening inside of her. Was Zaro attacking from her mind? Was she fighting her inner demons? What's happening? He needed to know soon, but there was no way to. He just hoped...and waited for her to wake up.

"Brother...help me please!" Ryuichi cried out as she was being pummeled by thousands of fire demons from Ichiro's tribe. "Aah!" she screamed as one hit her with a steel club on her back. Dark crimson liquid oozed out rapidly as she cried once more to her brother. "Koichi!"

"Don't you dare call me that, filth." he hissed in her ear. "I don't ever want to see your face in here again."

"B-but...this is my home..." Ryuichi stuttered as the beating continued. Blood trickled from her mouth, which splattered a few feet away from Koichi everytime she screamed or talked. "I'm fire demon too--"

"No! You're not." he spat at her dirty face and tangled ebony hair. "You're a half breed. You'll never be accepted into the fire tribe. Nor the wolf tribe." Koichi explained his red eyes on hers, gleaming with hatred.

"But...mom.."

"Mom? Ha ha." Koichi laughed sinister-like, baring his pointed white teeth. "Mom lied to you for all these years. She's a wolf demon, if you haven't noticed. Now get out."

"But..."

"Out!" he cried. Ryuichi refused as she continued to get pummeled with flails.

"Aah!" pain seared through her skin as she left, leaving to some "nowhere" land. Although her brother treated her like shit, she still loved him. Until...now. She cam back a week later and told them she was leaving and starting her life brand new. No more pummeling or beating up on Ryuichi. Hell no, she had told them as she left, never to be heard of in their world again. During that time, she was trained by a myriad of demons with unordinary skill and strength. She developed and harnessed her powers through them and if she learned all of the skills when she was being beaten up by the fire demons, she would've kicked their fucking asses.

Years later, with her amazing skills, she committed several, or plenty, illegal acts, which made her a "criminal on the run". Detectives from Spirit World were after her, retrieving whatever she stole, murdered, or destroyed. She however, always disappeared afterwards as the detectives could never catch her. One day, in Spirit World, she was attempting to steal the Gold Seal but was caught in action, by none other than the bubbly deity, Botan.

"What are you doing?" she asked, confused like always.

"Nothing." she answered, her hands in the air as if to take the seal.

"Wait a second. That's Koenma's Gold Seal! You're trying to steal it!" she yelled. Thousands of people cam to her side as they heard her yell.

"What's wrong Botan?" one asked.

"Oh, nothing." Botan smiled her usual smiled as she waved them away. Ryuichi was frozen and shocked.'Why did she just save my butt?' she asked herself as Botan came nearer, her oar disappearing into thin air. Ryuichi moved back until she was back to back with the wall.

"Don't worry, now." Botan smiled. "I won't bite! My name's Botan!" she held out her hand. Ryuichi just stared at it with her crimson eyes.

"Why did you do that?" Ryuichi asked her suspiciously wondering if Botan was gonna turn her in herself. She still stared at her, not trusting that "fake" smile.

"Because..." Botan started. "I know you're not a bad person inside." Ryuichi's eyes widened as she took Botan's hand.

"Ryuichi..." she said.

"Well, Ryuichi, nice to meet you."

"Ditto on that." Ryuichi smiled. The first smile she had smiled in years.
