A/N: I'm sorry for this one coming so much later than the last ones! T.T I was suffering from writer's block!!! Surely you know how I must feel right? O.O
RIGHT? OH COME ON!!!!!!!!!!! T-T But a big thanks to Autumn Whispers for hitting me with the last of her inspiration... she knows what I'm talking about .
I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho, but I do own a jar of peanut butter, a jug of ice cream, my soul... OH WAIT! I sold my soul on EBay (which I don't own either)...
NEVER MIND THEN!!!

I stood in the middle of a human park. I had finally arrived at Tokyo and was exploring the city after this girl named Botan forced my tail into my pants (which bridged on sexual harassment, I must admit) and crammed my ears into a tight ski hat. That hat actually hurt my ears. MY POOR EARS! But, anyway, so, I was in the park when I saw Kurama walking around. I climbed up a tree and watched him stealthily, or at least I thought I was being so. I soon found out that Kurama knew I was there.
"You do know I know you're there, don't you, Zura?" Kurama addressed in my direction.
I sweat dropped and accidentally fell out of the tree, "Ow... I forgot about your nose, I suppose." I rubbed my head and pointed to the said body part.
He nodded, "What are you doing in the park anyway?"
I shrugged, "Beats me. I'm just 'splorin'." I stood up and cracked my back.
He smiled, "I'll show you around if you'd like."
I did a bizarre form of a curtsy, "I would be honored, dear sir, honored." I told him, before falling over. I twitched.
He chuckled, "Come along, then." He helped me up and we began walking around.
We walked through some busy streets. I nearly got hit by a car at one point, thus I blew up at the driver and nearly cut his face in half. Kurama saved him.
I kind of wish he hadn't. After all, that guy should have watched where he was going. So what if I did walk out into the middle of the street when the sign said 'do not walk'? I still say it was his fault!
A thought occurred to me as we walked by his school, "Hey, Kurama?"
He turned to me, "Yes?"
"If you're a fox...and I'm a wolf...Doesn't that mean we're related?"
He took a minute to think, "I suppose that's right. We're probably cousins."
I laughed suddenly, "Well, you learn something new every day, now don't you, Kura?"
He smiled, "Kura?"
"That's what I'm calling you now! Deal with it if you don't like it!" I pretended to pout which earned me a small chuckle from my apparent cousin.

Somewhere in the Demon realm...
(Author's POV...)
It was an all-dark room in which only a spotlight shone down. There was a red-cloaked figure looming in the middle of the circular light. His breathing was deep and wheezy as he fingered a small, black cauldron in his cracked hands. "You finally found it, then?"
A purple-cloaked figure stepped into the light behind the red clad man, "Yes, sir."
"And the girl? Have you located her?"
"We believe her to have left the demon realm and entered the human one."
The red clad man laughed, wheezing, "I thought she would. Fleeing like the cowardly pup she is." He laughed some more before turning to the purple-cloaked man, "Go and find her. We will give her one last chance to tell us. If she refuses again..." He trailed off with a devilish smile just visible from behind his hood.
It was the purple clad man's turn to laugh, "Yes, Master."
"Swiftly now, Trentone. We don't want her to get away like she did one hundred years ago."
"Yes sir, we will succeed this time. I'm sure." He stepped out of the light, swiftly running off.
"Yes, we will. We're coming for you, little wolf demon. We will put you through hell until you finally break, so be ready... Zura." Corro, for that was the name of the red clad man, let this last sentence echo on, until it reached a girl in the human world, her wolf traits hidden away from sight.

(Back To The Normal POV...)
"... We are coming for you, little wolf demon. We will put you though hell until you break, so be ready... Zura." An unfortunately familiar voice echoed through my head.
I stopped walking. My eyes were surely dancing in fear as I fell to my knees, clutching at my heart. Tears sprang to my eyes, so I shut them tightly, "No..." I whispered, wishing for this not to be.
(Kurama POV...)
I was walking with my newfound cousin through the park again. Suddenly, I heard her footsteps stop. I turned to see her pupils were dilated in fear. "Zura?" She apparently didn't hear me. I stepped towards her, but she seemed not to see the outside world anymore.
Her eyes were filled with a horror that made me flinch. Suddenly, she fell to her knees, clutching at her heart. I saw her eyes sparkle with tears. She closed them tightly, refusing to let them free. Her body shook with unheard sobs.
"No..." I heard her whisper.
"Zura, what's the matter?" She still didn't hear me.
"Please don't do that to me..." She said as if someone had threatened her.
"Do what to you?" I asked, stepping slowly closer.
She started to shiver suddenly. It was a violent shiver. She hugged herself tightly and opened her eyes, which were clouded over. Her skin paled and I could have sworn I saw a bluish tinge to it. She looked around desperately for something before running off.
"ZURA! Where are you going?" I called after her and tried to catch up to her, but she was too fast and I soon lost all trace of her. I couldn't even sense her spirit energy.
(Hiei's POV...)
It was sunset in that honor forsaken ningen world that I had to live in. I was sitting comfortably in my favorite tree, watching the orange and red colors melt across the sky lazily, causing me to yawn. I had finally gotten away from the idiots on the team I was so cruelly a member of and was now relaxing as much as it was possible for me to. That's when I heard someone coming nearer.
I turned my head sharply to find the mutt running through the park. She was shaking so violently that I jumped down to see what was going on.
She ran into me, to which I growled. But what surprised me was that she didn't pull away from my chest after she hit it. She paused for a second before raising her arms and suddenly embracing me with a growl of pleasure. My eyes widened to three times their normal size. I swore the kitsune had said she hated unfamiliar skin or something like that, and I knew for a fact that my skin was VERY unfamiliar to her. I cursed to myself that my body had frozen and for the heat I felt rise into my cheeks.
I felt hot all of a sudden, probably from the embarrassment. She clung on tighter every time I felt myself get hotter. She growled in happiness. By the time I regained control of my body, the mutt seemed to snap out of whatever she had previously been in. I felt her tense.
"H-Hiei?" She squeaked as she jumped backwards and landed in a bizarre fighting stance.
I blinked in confusion for a mere second before glaring at her, "What's the big idea, mutt?"
She glared, but tilted her head to the side, "What do you mean, 'what's the big idea'?" She asked me harshly which only made me angry.
"You know perfectly well what!" I snarled, "I came down to see why you were acting so strange only to have you latch onto me like there was no tomorrow!"
She blinked, "Huh?"
I growled, "The one thing I hate is when people act dumb." I tightened my fists, causing a cracking sound to emit from them.
She took a step back with a thoughtful look on her face. She looked away with her finger on her bottom lip in innocent thought. She paled when she seemed to realize something.
"Well?" I snarled, being in a very bad mood.
"I-I... I g-got to go... s-sorry f-for disturbing y-you!" She practically shouted before running away.
(Normal POV...)
"Lets see how you like living in a world of cold shall we?" Corro's mocking voice rang through my head, "Let's see how you handle your insides freezing to below zero! Say hello to Hell's Ice to me, now, won't you?" He cackled.
My body shook with sobs I wouldn't let out. I didn't want to deal with this again. Not again. I hated this, especially this. Cold was my worst enemy. I was a warm creature, having the blood of a wolf, "Please, don't do that to me..." I pleaded.
I heard wheezy cackling that filled me with nothing less than utter dread. I suddenly felt cold. It was worse than last time. I looked up and saw nothing but black scenery.
I needed heat. I had to have it! I would die if I didn't get it then and there! I shook as I stood up and ran off in search of the slightest bit of warmth.
I wanted to cry, but my tears were frozen before they even came out. I wanted to scream and be released from the icy prison that had incased me in its hell. The very ice from Hell itself had wrapped itself into my body.
I ran and hit something. It was warm. I felt an inner heat residing in whatever it was. I rose my head slightly and saw a figure of red standing directly in front of me, in fact my cheeks brushed it.
It was the red in the black ice that was now my world. I hesitatingly lifted my hands, afraid that if I moved too fast it would disappear. I embraced the warmth and growled in pleasure of the heat against my body.
Slowly, ever so slowly, heating up again. It got hotter. I growled and smiled, feeling my fangs elongate in pleasure. This continued for a while, until I was snapped out of whatever daze I was in after I warmed up.
I realized my cheek was pressed against something black. Black... fabric? I pushed back a little and realized whatever it was, was tense and in apparent shock.
I realized it was Hiei.
"H-Hiei?" I flipped backwards in nothing less than surprised horror, landing in a weird battle pose of sorts.
Hiei blinked, then glared, making me want to run, but I didn't (stupid pride issues), "What's the big idea, mutt?"
My hair bristled at the insult, "What do you mean, 'what's the big idea'?" I asked harshly, realizing a little too late that it only made the Koorime angry.
"You know perfectly well what!" He snarled, "I saw you running around like crazy so I jumped down to see what was going on, when you latch onto me like there's no tomorrow!"
"Huh?" I blinked, not understanding what exactly was going on. Baka ditsy mode!
He growled in a way that made my insides squirm, but I still had yet to show it, "The one thing I hate is when people act dumb." He tightened his fists, causing his knuckles to crack menacingly.
I took a step back, thinking it was a wise move with the angry fire youkai. I pouted in thought, looking away. I was thinking, piecing everything together. I visibly paled when I connected the red warmth with Hiei. I swear I felt like bursting out in nervous laughter and locking myself in a small safe. I hugged Hiei Jaganshi, not even intentionally! It was all that -censored- Corro's fault! Oh, how I was going to enjoy killing him when I got the chance! I not only held Hiei Jaganshi, but also had to now explain to him what happened! This was not my day! Grr...
"Well?" he interrupted my desperate thinking.
"I-I... I g-got to g-go. S-sorry f-for disturbing y-y-you!" I said a little too loudly before turning tail (literally, I suppose) and running like his dragon was after me.
I remembered how he could read minds and figured he would try to read mine so... 'Llamas, llamas, llamas, llamas, llamas, llamas, llamas, mmm... I want some chocolate... llamas, llamas, llamas, llamas, llamas, llamas, llamas, llamas, llamas, llamas...' I thought furiously.
'Why in the three worlds are you thinking about llamas?' I heard Hiei's voice in my head.
'AHAH!' I shouted in my head, 'I KNEW you'd listen in!'
'So, then TELL ME WHY THE -censored again- YOU WERE TOUCHING ME!'
I cringed at how loud his voice was, 'Inside mind voices, Hiei, inside voices.' I heard him growl. 'And as an answer to your question - NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, FREAKIN' NOSY FIRE DEMON!!!' At that precise moment, something darted out of the trees and I was painfully tackled to the cement.
(Yusuke's POV...) (A/N: Am I changing POV too much? O.o It seems so...)
I was walking through the park with Keiko when I saw something that made me grin. Heh, I always knew Hiei was an animal. (A/N YUSUKE IS A PERVO!!!)
Anyway, I saw Hiei was atop that stupid dog... Zura was it? Yeah, I think that was it. Well, it was about time he got some action. I got closer. I couldn't resist a chance to tease him and the broad!
"Well, seems you like the mutt a lot more than you let on, Hiei." I said suddenly, gaining both of their attention.
They blinked in confusion for a moment, then looked at each other. Their eyes widened as their cheeks turned slightly pink and Hiei jumped off her as a black blur. He reappeared beside me, as did Zura. Both giving me glares that told me to run for my life.
Zura twitched as she allowed her claws to grow. I heard Hiei unsheathe his Katana.
"Yusuke..." Zura said through gritted fangs, making me sweat.
"Detective..." Hiei said too calmly, making me sweat even more.
"YOU – DIE - NOW!" They shouted in unison, attacking me with their weapons. I yelled and began to run, the speedy demons catching up with me quickly.
