Chapter 3

'Fuck I need to take a break more often.' Hiei thought to himself. He was in Makai in his opinion Nigenkai smelt like stale cabbage and something rotten. He jumped through the trees and headed to a bar. Hiei was walking in just as a girl walked out. She had blood read streaks and tips in her ebony hair which was tied up in a high ponytail. Her eyes mirrored his and she was only just slightly shorter than him. Pointed ears and Black claws completed the girl.

She had the body of a fighter under the single sleeved black shirt. It had one tank top strap on the left side and an arm glove of the same colour that went up the opposite arm. Also she had a black skort on and a pair of knee high black lave up boots. Everything about her seemed to scream "Stay Away From ME!" Hiei was thinking about her as he drank the sake he had ordered at the bar when his thoughts turned to the girl he had seen earlier at Kurama's house. 'Damn! Why am I thinking so much about girls? I'm acting like the damn detective!'

Hiei finished his drink and left the bar. He walked over to a pond that had a small waterfall flowing into it. It was peaceful there. He jumped into a tree startled when he heard the sound of someone diving into the pond. He looked out through the trees and was the same girl he had seen coming out of the bar. Her hair was wet now and clinging to her curves though most of it was over her left shoulder. If down her hair would have reached down to slightly past her butt. There were whip marks that crossed her back in spots but she seemed to ignore them.

The girl continued to swim a little longer before getting out and getting dressed. Hiei stayed seemingly unable to get away. (Hiei a girl is getting dressed your not supposed to watch that!)

'Damn I've never acted this way around a female like this before what's wrong with me?' The girl then ran her fingers through her hair and braided it in a low braid. All of a sudden three youkai that Hiei and obviously the girl had seen at the bar surrounded her and the one that seemed to be the leader took a step toward her. 'Damn why do these things always happen to me?' She wondered.

"Come on girly; come with us and you wont get hurt."

"Well I don't like to be hurt." She said with feigned innocence. All of a sudden not knowing what came over him Hiei jumped down and quickly disassembled the demons. After the final stroke of his katana Hiei landed right in front of her and looked her straight in the face. "Thank You but I could have saved myself."

With that she turned around on her heel and her braid hit Hiei in the face as she walked off. To say the least Hiei was surprised by her behavior. He resisted the erg to decapitate her, She continued to walk away and Hiei was about to follow when he heard her say. "Don't you dare follow me." This girl was constantly surprising Hiei but he was determined not to be made a fool or and he walked/jumped away and disappeared into the approaching darkness.

Back in Ningenkai

It was about 10:00 when Kurama got back. It had been an upper class shadow demon and because darkness had fallen it was a lot harder that it should have been to defeat. Kurama unlocked the front door of the house and was Kari sitting in the living room flipping channels on the T.V. He glanced over at her cousin before turning back to the T.V. She was wearing the same out find as the one she had on earlier but her hair was braided.

"Suichii, you have some really weird friends." She said turning off the T.V. Apperently there was nothing good on.

"oh?"

"Hn. A tall girl with long brown hair shoed up and asked if I had seen you, Kuwabara or Yusuke."

"OHHHHHHHH!" What was Shizuru doing looking for him or the other two?

"Anyway I'm off to bed."

"Good night Kari."

"GyawnNight"

Kari made her way up the stairs and went to her room pulling the trap door shut behind her. She then let her hair out of the braid it was in and ran her fingers through it. Her hiar was still dam and she continued to run her fingers through it as she walked over to the window and looked at the sky.

'It's the full moon. Guess mating season started. Oh well no more trips home for a while or at least until the end of the blasted time.' She went over to her bed elaned against the head boars and closed her eyes drifting off to dreamland.

Dream

MATURE CONTENT YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

He was laughing at her again as he continued to bring the whip down on her already scared back. This was the third beating that she had received that day and she didn't know how much more of it she could take. Finally the whip stopped coming down on her and she just about cried out when His hand made contact with her torn skin.

"Now Now you know I love to hear you scream."

"N…………O." she breathe out and he just pulled her up by her left arm. It was bloody and bruised and she thought that with the grip he had on it, it should have been broken by now. He ghosted his other hand over her shoulder and pushed the remaining part of her sleeve off her shoulder. With the last bit of her energy Kari pulled her foot back and swung it forward. Kirai released her arm as he fell to the ground clutching his 'family jewels'.

Kari started to run as soon as her arm was released. She ran passed other girls that were in her same predicament who looked at her with a pitied expression. She could have given in a long time ago but Kari was way too stubborn to do that. She continued to run but soon she could feel her energy draining and Kirai was catching up. She tripped as she tried to avoid hitting a statue and fell on her face. She lifted her head and could here Kirai coming around the corner so she ducked into the nearest room. It was a closet. She pulled her legs to her chest as she sat at the bottom hoping no praying that he wouldn't find her. She stayed like that for another few seconds before the door burst open and a very pissed off looking Kirai stood there. He pulled Kari roughly to her feet by her hair and made her face him.

"That was stupid." Was the only thing he said before he pulled Kari into a forced kiss. She tried to push away but he held her head firmly in place with the hand that wasn't wrapped around her waist pinning her to him. He finally broke the kiss and smiled evilly at her. He then picked her up and swung her over his shoulder while making his way to his room.

The rest of the rest and all she could think about was how much she wished that she was back with the annoying cousin that was right about everything. 'Damn it Suichii if only I had listened to you.' They finally reached his room and he threw her on the bed before fingering a small blade on and elaborately carved dagger. "Don't do this Kirai you don't know what your doing." Kari pleaded with him as he used the dagger to rip open the kimono that she was wearing. "No." with that he fell back on top of her and forcibly kissed her. All of a sudden she heard his pants slip off and----------------------------

WHAM! Kari's eyes flew open and she found herself staring at black carpet, apparently she had fallen off of the bed. She pushed herself up with her hands so that she was crouching and then stood and went over to the window. The sun was just rising and the birds were chirping. 'Damn I could really do without those memories.' She slipped on a black t-shirt and put on a sweater, also black that said I HAVE ISSUES in white writing. She then slipped on a pair of black track pants and pulled her hair into a low ponytail. She then went over to her dresser and pulled on a pair of socks. She grabbed her shoes from the previous day and went down to the kitchen for some breakfast. When she got there she found Kurama was already there and eating cereal.

"Good Morning."

"WHAT is THAT?" she asked gesturing to his school uniform.

"sigh it's my uniform."

"It's pink?"

"Yes."

"Hn."

"So how did you sleep?"

"Okay. You?"

"Great." By that time Kurama had finished his breakfast and he put his dished in the sink. He grabbed his book bag off the back of the chair and said absentmindedly "We have to go meet some people tonight."

"Whatever, Bye bye."

"Sayonara."

Kurama grabbed his keys off of the counter and left the room. Kari heard the door open and close and began to relax a little bit more. She opened the door to the fridge and noticed that there was no food in there but there was a shopping list and half a pickle.1

'Okay I guess I'm going grocery shopping.'

She grabbed her pair of house keys and the ones that were for the rental car and went outside after slipping her shoes onto her feet. She saw the car and shook her head in disbelief. 'THERE IS NO WAY I AM DRIVING THAT!' It was a fate worse than death……………………………..

PINK!
