The Pain You Cause
Chapter Two: An All Woman Village
Wind blew through the forest silently, the trees that moved was it's only indication it was there along with the cool sensation that flittered through his hair. Hiei sat on a high tree branch, casually, alert, enjoying the day he had to watch his sister below him. As the day went on, he became more and more careless, making himself tense because his sister had almost spotted him, yet only saw a quick blurr in his place.
Blood fell through his enclosed fist falling towards the ground in a puddle of crimson liquid as his claws broke the skin. Hiei's attention was caught as his sister laughed, the noise attracting his quickly enrapturing his attention, his claws grip lossened. He smiled, his sister brought warmth to his heart, although it was only for a moment.
Yukina was collecting flowers for a vase she was preparing to set on the dining table, butterflies flying around her face in an almost taunting manor yet she paid no heed. She had a basket full of flowers as she made her way back to the temple. Staying with Lady Genkai, the old fighter, she had duties to perform only collecting flowers was her choice. Hiei followed her, obviously, not having anything to do and wanted to keep his sister safe. The rest of the day went by rather quickly, and as it went on, the need inside him grew, every minute it got worst, waiting to spill out. Hiei growled, with his sister around, pain was engulfing his body, thoughts scarring his mind because for demons, relation didn't matter.
Taking one last glance at his sister's form, he disappeared into the dense forest, hoping to calm his urge...before he did anything he'd regret.

Terror...
She could do nothing to help. She was useless. She listened to her mother's screams through the thick doors of the closet. All but too soon it stopped, her mother's voice was gone, not even her sniffling could be heard. A rough shuffling was heard and the girl dared to peak, barely opening the doors did she see the flow of blood. A thick crimson river sunk into the wood flooring of the house.
Rivers of blood and tears...
Did she dare look up? Her eyes streamed with tears as her hands held her mouth closed, her body shaking in fear. Her silver eyes widened, sweat stuck to her clothes, grasping her silver hair in a web of tangles. The horror she saw as her eyes traveled from the floor, to the clothes thrown across the room, torn, to the man. He was surrounded in her mother's blood, her limp figure lying lifelessly under him as he used her for his own pleasure. Her throat was slit, a used katana pushed between his hand and the hard wood.
Passed the limit...
She felt something snap, inside of her it pulsed, flowing throughout her viens, through her blood. She tried to look away, her eyes burning from the salt of her many tears. Yet, she couldn't turn her eyes, move her head and close the door. They seemed to be glued to his form, studying his toned figure as he pushed into her mother, their bodies moving back and forth. He dared disgrace her further, lifting her dead form up closer to his body as their skin touched, her chest rubbing against his own.
Weak...
She stirred in her sleep...

The tree was bruised, broken, sliced as Hiei swung his sword into it, killing it slowly. His shoulders rose, his breath was heavy. Sweat glistening off his muscular body, his shirt thrown to the side along with his cloak. His eyes glared at the animal entering his territory, disturbing his training unannounced. "Kitsune."
"Hello Hiei." Kurama greeted, looking around at the damage Hiei had done to the precious forest area.
"What do you want?" Hiei was more curious rather than angry. He enjoyed the kitsune's company, another demon. Hiei put his sword away, a metallic hiss locking his sword in it's sheath.
"We have another mission." Kurama informed his good friend. His thoughts more on the koorime's, and 'others' well-being, than the actual mission at hand.
"Hn." Hiei slipped on his cloak, "And the baby wishes to speak with us?"
"No actually. I was informed, along with Yusuke, about the mission. I didn't think you wanted to visit Koenma so I told him I could inform you." Kurama stared his friend in the eyes as he spoke, his hands resting calmly in his pockets.
"What of the buffoon?" Hiei's face scrunched at the thought of Kuwabara, placing his hands in his own cloak, walking towards Kurama.
"Yusuke is taking care of that." Kurama smiled at the demon's hate towards the human, "Kuwabara is coming most likely, although the need for all four of us to go isn't required. We are only to obtain a woman from the village she lives in."
A woman? Hiei adverted Kurama's gaze, walking past him rather quickly. Kurama thought it wise to send him along? A smirked formed on the koorime's face, desire flashing through his eyes. A woman... He licked his lips, glancing back at the kitsune. "Well then. Let's hurry."

"We've only been walking for a day! Stop whining Kuwabara!!" The man, Urameshi, Yusuke, exclaimed, jumping over a fallen tree that laid in his way. Only Kuwabara wasn't so lucky and snagged his pants in a lonely branch, his face soon meeting the ground in a lovely muffled grunt.
"Gahh." He scrunched his already deformed face as he spit out the mud and leaves he managed to fill his mouth with. Kurama and Hiei were up ahead, not bothering with the two who were arguing behind them, knowing the mission was more important. Kurama glanced at Hiei who was jumping through the trees. Kurama could smell Hiei's arousal the closer they got to the village. Was it wise he allowed Hiei to come. Their was a blank stare in Hiei's eyes as he focused only on what lay in front of him, not bothering to think of a smart comment at Kurama, who stare was becoming slightly aggrevating.
"Kuwabara!" Thud! "Argg!" The commotion behind them made Kurama hault in his journey, the two idiots behind them had fallen, Kuwabara ontop of Yusuke. Kurama rolled his eyes, turning around and quickly catching up with Hiei, who never bothered to look back.
Oh, this would be a long trip.

"We are here for a Mitsuke, Yoshina." Kurama repeated loudly to the elder youkai as she leaned in closer to hear him better. Her deafness told of her old age. They had just arrived at the village over an hour ago and had to hunt down this elder, who, remarkably, was hard to find.
"Ah yes, yes." Kurama sighed happily, thankful this elder finally knew what he spoke of.
Kurama blinked at the smiling woman as she waited for an answer to escape Kurama's lips. He was curious. How she had managed to get 'dinner' out of the a person's name slightly frightened him, yet they were told to come see this elder by the warrior they had spoken to. She is the grandmother of Yoshina. Family. A relative that may know where Yoshina was.
"Fool. We do not wish to eat." Hiei scowled, the scent of women intoxicating his senses, amazingly he was able to contain himself- letting the anger he had get the better of him rather than his desires, "We are looking for Yoshina."
"Oh, Yoshi,Yoshi..." She seemed to ponder on the name, sitting down on the bench placed conveniently beside her as she rubbed the whiskers on her chin, "Yoshi is a kind one... yes, yes..."
"Riku! Get back here!"
"She is my grandchild you know..." The elder nodded as if answering her own statement, looking towards the feet of the four young men that stood before her who stared at her in bewilderment. She was old, given that, they wouldn't get too far in their search today.
"Don't make tell you again young-man!" Yusuke managed to slip away from the babbling woman and walk around the side of the houses, curiosity of the commotion leading him to wander.
Thud!
Yusuke looked down to the person that ran into him. A young man, elementary. He was rubbing his head where he had hit Yusuke's side, which was full of dark shaggy brown hair, and had fallen to the ground. Dust flew up around him slightly, as if trying to help hide his figure from the upcoming woman.
"Ouch..." He looked up as Yusuke squatted down, both looking each other- eye to eye. Yusuke raised an eyebrow, the others coming around to see what he was doing, pestering the locals, as they had thought.
"Whoa...It's like looking at doubles." Kuwabara's voice sounded from behind Yusuke. Yusuke rolled his eyes. He and the child did look somewhat alike, he had to admit. But, no one could be like Yusuke, no one.
"Hey, you o-" He was suddenly cut of, falling on his rear as he stared at an evil, angry woman glaring down at the child.
"Riku!" She growled, Riku slowly turning his head in terror as if pure evil was placed behind him, "Apologize." She commanded; the gang scooted away quickly, Riku's eye twitching at the fire blazing in the onna's eyes. He was too scared to answer.
He moved to crawl backwards, wanting to run away from her yet he was stopped by another threatening growl, "Riku.." She bared her fangs, fully prepared to take the boy out if she needed.
He quickly turned around, bowing on the floor, "I'm terribly sorry sir! I didn't mean to run into you! It'll never happen again!"
"Arigato Riku." The woman smiled, "Let's go home." She turned to walk away, paying no attention to the men in front of her, nervous from her bipolar type of behavior.
"Bu-" Riku started but cut himself off, the look she gave him... shudders. "Coming..." They both headed off, the woman making sure the child was following. Hiei growled watching nothing but the woman leave, his breath slowly getting heavy.
"Yoshi is very helpful too." The old woman spoke, grasping onto Kurama's arm. He just turned and stared at her as she nodded her wrinkled head, staring into Kurama's emerald eyes. (-.-)'
Knock Knock
"She lives here?" Yusuke asked, looking at the small hut.
"Yes, yes. Yoshi!" The grandma's voice rose, yelling for her grand-daughter as she banged on the weak wooden door. Vines crawled across the side of the hut, threatening to take it apart, tear it down. "Yoshi! It's grandma-ma! Open the door, I have some visitors here for you!"
No answer.
The old woman turned around, smiling with a confused look on her face, "She may be out collecting fo-"
A distressed scream pierced through the air. They were all startled, no one moving. Hiei snapped to first and raced off, Kurama a little ways behind him. Kurama stopped when he saw Hiei at a watering hole, staring at something in a daze as his face held a slight pink tint.
"What is it Hiei?"
