I gotta say, it tears me up just writing about Hiei and Yukina fighting. Really, it does. Anyways, I'm sick so I can spend all day to this chapter. Now, Hiei has rejected Yukina for her own good. But what happens now? Christmas isn't that far away and this threat about Yukina is becoming more realistic…. Okay… I don't own YYH or any of their characters…. Read on!
************************************************************************

I'm Coming For You

Hiei sat silently pounding his head against his wall… after about 10 minutes of lying there, Yukina had headed for her room where she cried herself to sleep. He had lied to her…to his heart. "Dammit all," he cursed. He knew that this wouldn't be easy but he never imagined the pain to feel like this. "I'm so sorry, Yukina."

Yukina was lying in her bed, sleeping soundlessly. Hiruseki stones had covered her bed. Every now and then another tear would fall, adding to the collection of gems. But there was a dark shadow in her room. It crept upon the walls glaring hungrily at her. The shadow went from each corner of the room before finally resting just above her. "Such a sweet creature," it cooed. It was a female voice, mockingly cold. "Skin so perfect…I'd like to cut it…see how it bleeds." It finally jumped to the ground and formed a black figure. The shadow demon walked up to Yukina and touched her face. "Come with me, little Koorime." The shadow began to flow into Yukina's body, consuming her. "I won't let anything hurt you."

"HIEI," Kurama desperately screamed! Hiei, who had blocked out the world for almost an hour, opened the door. Kurama panted and grabbed Hiei's shoulders. "Hiei…someone…someone has taken Yukina!" Hiei's eyes opened widely as he pushed his way and slammed Yukina's door open. There was nothing there except the Hiruseki stones.

"No….NO!" Hiei turned around and glared at Kurama. "Who took her, dammit…WHO?!" Kurama's eyes lowered in disappointment. He didn't know. "Damn it all," Hiei cursed and was gone in a flash. Kurama turned and saw that Hiei had gone out through Yukina's window. "I swear to Enma, Shigure, if you lay a finger on her," Hiei muttered under his breath. He stopped about 2 miles away from the house, glaring all around. He couldn't pick up the slightest bit of demon charka….not anywhere. "To hell with this." His fingers found the bondage on his head and tore it off. The jagan opened and searched for Yukina.

"He is searching for you," the shadow demon snickered. "I can sense him looking…worrying…it is so exciting." She looked at Yukina, whom lie on a stone cold floor in chains, still asleep…this time by the force of magic. The shadow demon snickered. "I'll say hello for you, pet." She turned her head and went to contact Hiei using telepathy. "Hiei… you need not worry. I hold your precious jewel with me now… meet me in Makai Central… near the old stadium… I'll bring Yukina." She didn't give him time to answer before cutting off. "There… now your brother will come for you, dear sweet Koorime." Yukina lifted her head a moment, hearing something of her brother. The shadow demon narrowed her eyes and sent a silent blast at Yukina, causing her to go unconscious again. "Such motivation to wake up…I'll keep my eye on you, missy."

Hiei, now on the verge, teleported vigorously to find the opening portal in Ningenkai. Surely there must be one around! He opened his jagan and found an unnoticed opening in an old apartment and went straight in. "I'm coming, Yukina," he whispered, more or less to himself. "I'm coming for you!" Now in Makai, he stared around, looking for the old stadium. It was miles from where he had landed but he would get there soon enough.

Back in Ningenkai, Kurama feverishly ran around the house to gather up Yusuke and Kuwabara. "He's gone off to find her," Kurama told them after finishing his story on what had happened before. "I'm not sure where he went and I'm afraid he hasn't left any sign to give us a clue."

"Sounds like the bad ass is pissed off," Yusuke remarked. He fell into a nearby chair, settling his elbows on his knees. "I guess we should go after him then. No sense going to Koenma about all of this." Botan smacked him side the head. "Well you know it's true! It would only stall us longer!"

Botan crossed her arms in frustration. "We have to report to him so that he knows and could keep a look out, Yusuke! Imagine what we'd do if we went recklessly ran to Hiei's aid when Koenma finds some valuable information that could help us!"

Yusuke was already out the door, closely followed by Kurama and Kuwabara. "Then you can go ahead and tell him! Thanks, Botan," Yusuke yelled out to her and then was out of sight. Kurama, who now was at his left shifted a little so that Kuwabara ended up in the middle. "Listen you two, whatever Hiei is wanting to do, we have to make sure he doesn't do it!"

"That doesn't make sense, Urameshi," Kuwabara retorted. "What if he wants to save Yukina? We just make sure he doesn't?" Yusuke didn't have time to explain so that Kuwabara's simple mind could comprehend. They were wasting time. "What a minute… how the hell are we suppose to know where the munchkin went?" Yusuke didn't have a clue what to tell him.

Hiei arrived at the stadium, pacing back and forth. He had been there for several minutes now. Whom ever was the one that contacted him was late and he didn't like that. A mist began to form about 20 feet away from him, finally forming a female figure. He couldn't tell anything else about the woman for her body was just a frame filled in with darkness. But there, clearly behind her, was Yukina. Hiei ran with all his force at her but the woman saw his moves and teleported to where he was before. "Let her go," Hiei growled. "If you harm one hair on her head…" He left his sentence unfinished, glaring at the woman.

"Such a temper," the shadow demon snickered. "Unfortunately, I'm not the one you have to deal with." At that moment, another figure appeared. The woman looked over her shoulder and smiled brightly. "Right on queue, Shigure." She kneeled down, bowing her head low enough to lick the Earth.

Shigure moved closer, standing just in front of the shadow creature. "You may leave, wrench." The shadow creature disappeared out of sight. Shigure, now looking at Yukina, smirked. "Such a lovely creature…poise, elegant, and beautiful I might add. He knelt down and sniffed the air around Yukina, knowing how angry Hiei grew. "Even smells gorgeous."

"Shigure, I killed you long ago…why are you still here?" Hiei's fist were clenched so tightly you could visibly see his veins. "I left you for dead. And as my reward our deal was cut off. I was no longer connected with your tie." Shigure, now more interested in what Hiei was rambling on about, stood up slowly, silently laughing to himself.

"Yes, I imagine my appearance here has left you baffle minded," Shigure said coolly. He began to walk towards Hiei, still talking yet his gaze wonder to the ground. "Hell just wasn't enough for me. My hatred for you eased any pain hell could offer." He suddenly came to a halt, 5 feet away from Hiei. Shigure closed his eyes as though recalling a painful memory he had wished to forget. The tension between the two of them was unbearable! "You…you took Mukuro from me!"

Hiei's eyes widen with frustration. It all came together then. Mukuro… the day they fought to the death. They were fighting to become her right hand man and Hiei had one, barely, but he still came out the victor. "You seek vengeance on what you were too weak to keep. And now you believe my head will pay for your foolishness?"

"I should have been by Mukuro's side! Not a pathetic demon such as yourself!" Shigure was fuming with anger. "Being Mukuro's heir was my entire life and you stole that from me! So I'm going to take your life as repayment." He looked back at where Yukina was. "As for our agreement…well, you can never trust a demon who only survives on hatred."

Hiei thumbed the handle of his katana. "I don't care for your reasons. You so much as look at her wrong and I'll bring you pain that no hell can offer." The top of his thumb partially lifted the katana out of the sheath.

Taken aback, Shigure regained his position, trying hard to intimidate Hiei. "And I suppose you think of yourself superior? Hmph, I was able to capture Yukina because you had failed to protect her." The words stung Hiei like no other. He grinded his teeth, giving off a low growl. "Enough small talk. I'm sick of it." Shigure, in hands with his faithful sphere weapon glared upon Hiei.

"You still haven't revealed…. How you were able to come back from the dead," Hiei growled. But Shigure didn't give him time to finsih. He came at him with such speed that if it were any other demon, they would have been dead. Hiei was able to move only in time. He drew his katana and swiftly thrust it at Shigure. The two battled on, their words discussed in their movements. "I don't care if hell has made you stronger, it is nothing compared to the torture I will bring." For what seemed like hours, they fought. Both now bathed in one another's blood yet there wasn't a sign of surrender from either side.

Yukina began to stir awake and she opened her eyes to see two strange figures fighting. She couldn't move, nor would she try. Her body seemed heavy and weak as if she was some type of stone figurine. The two fighting…one seemed familiar but both moved too swiftly to be able to recognize. The first thing that came to her mind…was Hiei… she needed him…wanted him. She didn't care about what he had said earlier to her. She only wanted to be back in his arms, to the only place she felt home. He was her closest chance at family and it was a thought that eased her suffering. "Hiei," she whispered but soon passed out from the strain of talking.

"Damn you," Shigure muttered to Hiei, grasping the wound Hiei had scarred him with. "I will not be defeated twice! Not by you!" He came at Hiei will all his force, not letting his ego blind him as before. "You killed my pride, so I'll kill you and your treasure!"

Whatever happened after that was a blur to Hiei. He remembered attacking with all his force, as did Shigure. But that was hours ago. He sat up, still at the stadium. There wasn't any sign of Shigure. Had he lost? His gaze quickly scanned the area. Yukina lay where she was before. "Yukina," he whispered and ran to her side. He turned her on her back, lifting her head up slowly. "Yukina…"

Yukina's face twitched and her eyes tried to open but quickly closed. "I…I can't see," she told him. Her hands trailed from his chest, to his neck, then finally to his face. "Who are you? Where am I?"

Hiei brought her up so that they entangled within an embrace. He buried his face in her hair. It was time, time that she would find out. She deserved to know and he didn't care anymore about what might happen to him afterwards. "You're in Makai, Yukina…. You are safe now. You're with your brother now." Yukina hesitated but then swiftly wrapped her arms around Hiei's neck. She didn't know what he looked like or how he found her. All she cared about was that her brother had came for her.
