I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or any of its characters. And I would like to thank you amazing people who are reading, favoriting, and following this story.:)
Hiei sat in a tree. He needed a plan. But first he need to decide on whether the plan would be to keep his secret while everyone searches, to stop the search altogether, or to tell Yukina the truth.
He thought he kept his identity from her because he cared about her, but it seemed like the lie hurt her more than the truth would. Even if she was ashamed that her brother wasn't all she expected him to be, he would still be able to keep her safe. But he could keep her safe, either way, so why go through the uncomfortable process of telling her the truth?
Yukina and the others were trying to get some information on everything she knew that would help them. She told them about the tears her mother cried when she gave birth, the fire her brother was surrounded by, the cliff he was dropped off of, and the bandits that lived at the bottom of the cliff. They all decided to start at the ice village, then work their way down the cliff.
Hiei knew that once they meet the bandits it wouldn't take long for them to figure it out. He could just kill them before they recognized him without Yukina finding them. True, they were the closest thing he had to family back then, but they had served their purpose. Wasting no time, Hiei jumped from the tree and headed to the Makai for a head start. He didn't think he would run into Kurama before he got the chance.
"What are you up to Hiei?" the fox asked suspiciously.
