Chapter 2

Hanako watched Kuwabara's painful fight with Rinku. She wasn't surprised at all when he lost considering he took the time to yell at Yusuke. Kurama's fight was much faster and she thought he would also lose, but his opponent suddenly exploded in a bouquet of flowers. Hanako was terrified; she could smell the bled shed from her seat. Hiei's fight was next and she was anxious to see what her mysterious lover could do.

In an instant Hiei's opponent, Zeru, was torching the arena and sending waves of fire towards Hiei. Shizuru grabbed her arm and yanked her and Keiko to a different area just as their seats were caught on fire. Hanako couldn't take her eyes off of Hiei, especially now that Zeru was glowing like a hot poker. Zeru charged at Hiei and stabbed him in the abdomen, setting him on fire, and as if that wasn't enough Zeru sent a large fire blast toward Hiei, incinerating him.

"Do you think he's beaten?" Keiko asked with a shaken voice.

"I'm afraid he's a little more then that." Shizuru spoke calmly.

Hanako couldn't breathe. She was mortified. "He can't be dead..." She whispered to herself.

Koto was just announcing that with moves like Zeru's a little goes a long way. Hanako almost sobbed in relief when Hiei stood up. His voice was menacing, and he seemed unphased with Zeru's attack. Only Hiei's cloak was burned off, and his shirt slightly ripped. Zeru was terrified, the worry clear in his eyes.

"Dragon Of The Darkness Flame." Hiei's voice echoed calmly throughout the stadium. Purple and black flames were surrounding him and Zeru. Hiei yelled out his attack once more and unleashed the Dragon. In an instant Zeru was gone. His cindered outline was all that remained.

"Let's give it up for Hiei!" Koto cheered.

Hanako was shaking. The attack was magnificent! In all of her short life, none of the street fights or petty fights she got into with Yusuke would ever amount to what she had just witnessed. She was so distracted she didn't see her brother step into the ring with Chu, or Shizuru chasing after Keiko. Once she came out of her day dream she decided she would be safest with her brothers team. She leaped over the edge of the seating area and ran towards Kuwabara.

"Hey, Hanako! I didn't know you were here too!" Kuwabara seemed thrilled.

"Yeah, well, I was tired of all the secrecy from my brother so I decided to see what all the fuss was about." Her eyes met Hiei's for a brief moment before she turned to her brother in the ring. "Kick his ass, Yusuke!"

Yusuke gave his sister a thumbs up just as Keiko showed up next to them. She looked at Hanako with a confused 'How did you get here faster than me?', look. Hanako shrugged and focused on the ring. This match was long and worth watching. Her brother was an excellent fighter, even against Chu's Drunken Style fighting. She was envious. Yusuke never fought her like that, almost as if he was always holding back. The thought pissed her off, and she turned away and headed back through the tunnel that led out into the stadium.

That's not a good idea. It was Hiei's voice.

Hanako shook her head, and answered him back. "Bite me. None of this was a good idea and I should have stayed home." She mumbled as she continued down the tunnel. "You'd still be a dream, and I wouldn't have discovered my brothers secret life." She found her way outside and managed to get through the crowd of Demons. She had no where to go and didn't know where she was but she kept walking. She was deep in the forest when she finally stopped. Tears pricked her eyes.

"That bastard...He could have told me...I have always been there for him. I've kept all of his secrets. He's my brother and I don't even know who he is." She glared at the nearest tree and wished she could blast it to shreds, like Yusuke could. She raised her hand and pointed her index finger just like he did. Tears poured down her face and she closed her eyes tightly. " I HATE YOU!" She screamed and threw her eyes open just as a massive blast shot from her finger and broke the tree in half. She gasped and felt absolutely exhausted as she fell to her knees,

"I see you have discovered the powers I gave you."

Hanako stood up and balled up her fists as she turned around. It was Koenma. "What do you mean, gave me?" She snapped. She was in no mood for riddles.

"When your brother died, I brought him back to life. His interaction with the spirit world awakened the spirit energy already in him and I taught him how to use his spirit gun. Being around your brother also awakened the energy inside of you, and it's done the same to Kuwabara. You, however, taught yourself the spirit gun and its lavender instead of blue like Yusuke's." Koenma explained.

"Oh trust me, I wasn't only around Yusuke..." Hanako mumbled as her mind flashed an image of Hiei. "So now what? I don't know why he kept all of this from me." She rubbed the tears off of her cheeks.

"The same reason he didn't tell Keiko. Yusuke has a great deal of enemies who want to kill him at any cost. He didn't want you or Keiko to be a target. "

"I can take care of my self! I've done a pretty damn good job of it so far! Who does he think he's kidding!?" Hanako was fuming.

Koenma was amused. "You're just like your brother. "

"Don't get any ideas! You can't tell me what to do. Yusuke might be your faithful dog, but I have no ties to you nor do I owe you. Botan told me he worked for you, she told me everything."

"That girl has got to keep her mouth shut..." Koenma sighed. "It's not safe for you out here. Why don't you come back with me?"

Hanako's eyes softened although she was still angry. She wouldn't be able to find her way back unless she followed him. "This all feels like a dream." She approached him slowly.

"I can fill you in as best as I can on the way. " Koenma placed a hand on her shoulder and proceeded to lead her towards another direction. "The Hotel is this way." He explained. By the time they arrived she had most of her answers.

"So...In order to come back to life, he was forced to work for you? And Kurama and Hiei used to be bad guys? Kuwabara isn't a Spirit Detective, but he's treated like one. Yusuke trained from a master named Genkai and that's why he's so powerful..." She recapped. Koenma nodded so she continued. "And because of Toguro they are being forced to fight here, even to the death, because if they don't, thier loved ones will be at risk."

"Precisely." Koenma sighed in relief.

"All this super natural stuff is giving me a headache." She sighed when they finally came to the hotel. "I want to learn more. I want to be strong like Yusuke."

Koenma panicked. "What! That's insane! How could you possibly want anything to do with this type of life?!"

"It...intrigues me. It's like the more I know the more I want it. It's calling out to me." She looked at Koenma with her deep green eyes.

"I was afraid of this..." Koenma complained as he walked her inside and to the elevator. The were silent until they reached Team Urameshi's room. Koenma threw the door open and all eyes landed on the two. Yusuke stood up and looked at Hanako with wide eyes.

"Hanako, there you are. Look, I can explain-" He started.

"No need. Koenma and Botan did most of it." Hanako sighed, her eyes found Hiei but she forced herself to look away.

"Yes and in her anger she has learned your Spirit Gun." Koenma added.

"WHAT!?" Kuwabara and Yusuke both stammered.

"Did it on my first try too." Hanako smiled tiredly. "But it wiped me out. I feel like I ran the whole way here."

"You poor dear, why don't you go freshen up and we'll play some cards!" Botan was trying to ease some tension that Hanako had not been aware of at first. She sensed it almost immediately as she left the room. The air in that room was thick with fear and anger and agitation.

She tried to reach out to Hiei. Can you hear me?

How is it you fired the Spirit Gun?

His hostility caught her off guard. I was angry and I pointed my finger at a tree. I imagined it was Yusuke, that I could be better then him. And I pretended to fire. I didn't expect anything to actually happen.

I don't think you realize the danger you're in by being here.

I knew what I was getting into. Hanako got defensive. Why is everyone so pissed off that I am here, but Keiko and Shizuru get red carpeted?

I don't even know what that means. You are a target now just by coming here. You are Yusuke's flesh and blood, who can now use the Spirit Gun. If anyone else finds out you will be the prize these Demons seek. Whatever it takes to destroy Yusuke, who has become a hated bounty hunter among Demons. Hiei tried to explain.

Hanako was silent for some time as she leaned against the door. She longed for a shower but opted to talk to Hiei instead. Are you okay?

What?

Are you okay? I saw your arm after your fight. It hurts you to move it.

It's heavily damaged but it will heal.

Why did you only come to me in my dreams? It would have been nice to know you were real...maybe I wouldn't have felt so lonely.

There was silence on Hiei's end that seemed to stretch out. I am Demon criminal who took the virginity of a 15 year old Human. When Yusuke first defeated me I followed him home in hopes I could catch him off guard, and found you instead.

You used me? Hanako asked. She wasn't surprised, but her feelings were hurt.

At first. Now I find myself obsessed with you.

Why? Hanako asked just as Botan knocked on the door.

"Hanako, are you alright?"

"Yeah! Just thinking...I'll be out in a minute!"

Shower, Hana. I'll be here when you get out.
