Damn I'm sorry everyone. This one just seemed to take me a while to get done for some reason. For a while when I could work on it I wanted to but just couldn't get into the mood. But reading easily cured that. I'll try to remember that for the future so that this doesn't happen again. There was actually maybe two or three places where I could have ended it but for some reason I didn't want to and at the same time just wanted to finish it. To the other person that asked what game I was playing. It was a Yuu Yuu Hakusho game on the DS. It's alright but the touch screen parts can be a real pain in the ass. Well here's chapter 6.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yuu Yuu Hakusho or Inuyasha. I only own this story.

Chapter 6

Hiei's POV

I awoke at the first sign of light. The others still seem to be asleep. I decided to go to the forest that wasn't to far away from the village. I figured that I've been too relaxed lately and needed some training. It didn't take long for me to reach the forest. When I got there it almost seemed like there was no demons around.

I wandered aimlessly for about ten minutes and still haven't encountered a single demon. "What kind of place is this? Demons should be wandering everywhere without the Kakai Barrier being up yet." I said to myself.

Normal POV

There was a shadowy figure following Hiei in the bushes, a good distance away from him. "About time he's alone and away from the others." Said the shadowy figure. It was difficult to make out if it was male or female. But the voice suggested that it was a female. Hiei halted his walk. He started to look around himself at his surroundings.

Hiei spun around and drew his sword. He leapt towards the source of the noise he heard and slashed down dainglly from his right to his left using both hands. He killed what was making the noise, some kind of large wasp, but something else jumped out of the way. It was a female demon. She was wearing a kimono, had part of her black hair tied back with two white feathers in the knot, and she was carrying a fan. She also wore a dark red lipstick.

"Well, well. I didn't think you would find me so quickly without that mutt Inuyasha." The female demon said. "Hn. I don't need that mutt to be able to sense demons following me." Hiei said with a scowl. The female demon smiled at his comment.

'Good it will be easier if he doesn't like the others.' She thought. "I have a offer for you." She said. "I have no interest in whatever you have to offer." Hiei said in a low disgusted voice. "I think you might want to reconsider." She said.

Before Hiei could say anything, the female demon started to reach up her left sleeve. She pulled her hand back out but had it closed. "If you agree to follow me and work for another demon you can this." She said as she held out her hand and opened it. There in the female demons hand was a jewel shard. Hiei started at her hand for a few seconds then to her face.

"So you work for that half-demon, Naraku." Hiei said.

"Oh so they told you about him?" she asked but mostly stated.

"If you want to die a painless death than I suggest you hand over those jewel shards." Hiei said.

"No need to get hasty. If you come work for Naraku you can have unlimited power. I'm sure that's better than what the others have to offer you." She said. "Enough of this." Hiei said before he lunged at her. "Too bad." She said.

The female demon opened her fan. She took her arm with the fan and swung it towards Hiei and yelled, "Dance of blades!"

As the female demon said that big white blades appeared in the air and flew towards Hiei. Hiei was to close to be able to dodge them so he was forced to defend himself. Hiei was able to slash away most of the on coming blades but one hit his left arm leaving a long gash and one hit his right thigh and left a shallow cut. The impact from the ones he destroyed and the ones that hit him sent him flying back some. When Hiei was sent back he landed in a crouched position. As he stood up he clenched his left hand.

Hiei then started to charge the female demon again. "I was hoping that you would be smarter than Inuyasha." Said the female demon as she swung her arm again and more white blades shot towards Hiei. Hiei jumped to his right, avoiding all of the blades. While he was still in the he pulled his left fist back. "Take this!" Hiei yelled.

He opened his left hand and flames bust around it. He then threw the fireball at the female demon. She managed to jump out of the way. When the fireball collided with the ground it exploded into a giant blaze. It sent that portion of the forest in flames.

Hiei saw her jump out of the way. When he landed he made a run for the spot where she was going to land. Hiei started to pick of his pace. When the female demon landed she started to look around. She had lost site of Hiei when his fireball exploded.

"Damn where did he go!" she questioned out load. When she landed she started to panic. He was nowhere in site but she could still feel his presence. Then she felt it. Something had pieced her chest from her back. She fell down to her knees and started to cough up blood.

"Hand over the shards and I'll kill you now." Hiei said. Just when the female demon was about to hand over the jewel shards something busted through the tress towards the two demons. It looked like a tentacle of some kind. Hiei was forced to withdraw his sword and jump back to avoid being hit by it.

"What is that?" Hiei said. It appeared that the tentacle wasn't after the female demon because it wasn't attacking her. When Hiei landed back on the ground a thick layer of miasma started to fill the area. It surrounded Hiei and the wounded female demon. An outline of another figure appeared in the poisonous mist.

"So this is how powerful you are." Said the new demon.

Meanwhile back at the inn

The sun has rising more since Hiei had left and the other members of the group were now awake. Kagome, Sango, and Miroku were talking on the porch outside of their rooms, Inuyasha was in a tree in the garden, and Shippo was playing with Kilala.

"Where do you guys think Hiei went? You don't think he left us do you?" Kagome asked. "I don't think that's it. He's been traveling with us for a while now and I don't think he would just get up and leave like that. Unless there was a reason." Sango said.

"What do you think Miroku?" Sango asked. "Well, I don't completely trust him but I don't think he would betray us. Especially when traveling with us is his best chance to find a way home." Miroku said.

While up in the tree in the garden, Inuyasha overheard what they were talking about. "If he isn't back soon than we're going to leave without him." Inuyasha yelled so that they could all hear.

Just as Inuyasha finished saying that there was a loud noise.

"What was that?" Shippo asked. Everyone looked towards the direction of the noise. "It sounded like something exploded." Kagome said. Black smoke started to rise in the distance. Kagome suddenly froze. Inuyasha noticed.

"Kagome! What's wrong?" he yelled to her. She then went back to normal. "Inuyasha I sense jewel shards and they're coming from where that smoke is coming from!" Kagome yelled back. "Come on than don't just stand there lets go!" Inuyasha yelled.

He jumped down out of the tree while Kagome went inside to get her bow and arrows. Sango went in with her to get her Hiraikotsu. Miroku already had his staff and of course Inuyasha had his Tessaiga.

When both Kagome and Sango came back out Kilala transformed into her larger form. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo climbed onto Kilala's back and Kagome climbed onto Inuyasha's back.

"Lets go Kilala." Sango commanded. Kilala let out a roar and took off. Inuyasha followed her.

"How many shards are there Kagome?" Inuyasha asked. "It feels like there's two." She said. Inuyasha started to speed up, wanting to get there as quick as possible.

"Come on Kilala. Lets hurry up as well." Sango said. Kilala roared and increased her speed as well. After a few minutes they were close to the forest where the smoke was coming from. Inuyasha started to sniff the air.

"What is it Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. "Naraku! He's here!" Inuyasha said in an angered voice. "Naraku? Why would he come out of hiding and present himself so easily?" Sango asked. "Do you think it's a trap?" Shippo asked.

"Most likely. There's no other explanation." Miroku said. "Feh who cares. It doesn't matter. This is where it's going to end. Prepare yourself Naraku." Inuyasha said.

Back with Hiei

Hiei's POV

A new demon now stood before me. I couldn't see its face because it was wearing a cloak made of baboons fur. "And just who the hell are you?" I asked.

"So you're Hiei. I've been wondering how powerful you truly were. How about you accept my offer and in exchange for the shards all you have to do is kill Inuyasha." Naraku said.

"I don't need some artificial power and as far as killing Inuyasha do it yourself."

Normal POV

"How disappointing." Naraku said. All of a sudden what looked like a mass of tentacles came out from beneath Naraku's baboon fur cloak. A few of them went after Hiei. Hiei slashed them. The pieces that he had sliced off began to move when they hit the ground. They started to make their way back towards Naraku. Naraku then used his tentacles to charge towards Hiei.

Hiei jumped back to avoid being crushed by him. A tentacle that was Naraku's arm burst out of the cloak after him. Hiei didn't have a chance to act and was hit. The blow sent Hiei down at an angle. When he hit the ground he sled across it. Hiei had dropped his sword when he was hit. "Damn." Hiei said as he got up. When he looked up to search for Naraku he was forced to roll to his right to avoid being hit again. Both of Hiei's hands burst in to flames.

"Lets see how you handle this." Hiei said. Hiei leapt towards Naraku. He then threw a fireball at him. Naraku dodged it by jumping straight up in to the air.

"Now I've got you!" Hiei said as he threw another fireball at Naraku while he was still in the air. Unable to get away from Hiei's attack, Naraku used his tentacles as a shield by making a wall out of them to block the fireball. It exploded and smoke filled the area in the air where Naraku was. "Hn what a weakling. I'm surprised that the others had so much trouble with him." Hiei said. But shortly after he said that something came falling out of the smoke.

"What!" Hiei almost yelled. Out of the smoke fell Naraku. Parts of him were blown off but overall he seemed almost unharmed. Naraku smirked at Hiei from under his mask. "Did you really think I would be destroyed so easily?" Naraku asked.

Hiei was now angry. If it was one thing Hiei didn't like it was being mocked. Hiei made a full sprint towards Naraku. "If you want to see true power than here it comes!" Hiei yelled. Hiei was about to reach for the bandages on his right arm when he was distracted.

"Naraku!" Inuyasha yelled as he jumped in to the clearing where Hiei, Naraku, and Kagura were. When he landed Kagome climbed off his back. Sango and the others then came in from over the trees and landed next to Kagome. When they arrived Hiei halted his charge. "It ends now Naraku!" Inuyasha yelled. He drew his Tessaiga and ran towards Naraku. "Stay out of this mutt!" Hiei yelled.

Inuyasha ignored him and jumped in to the air. He let out a cry as he swung his sword straight down from above his head. Naraku kept his smirk and jumped back. Inuyasha's sword collided with the ground leaving a small crater. Naraku landed next to Kagura. "It's time we left." He said. After he said that a thick miasma cloud surrounded him and Kagura. "Oh no you don't!" Inuyasha yelled. But by the time he got to the poisonous cloud Naraku and Kagura were already gone. "Damn it! He got away." Inuyasha said. "Stupid mutt! You should have stayed out of my way. If you had he would be dead now." Hiei said in an angered voice. "What did you say shrimp!" Inuyasha yelled at Hiei.

Hiei was about to say something but was interrupted. " Hiei are you alright?" Kagome asked running over to him to check him.

"Hn it's none of your business if I'm injured or not onna." Hiei said.

By this point the others had walked over as well. They were now all almost standing in a circle. "You look a little roughed up. Sure you're not hurt?" Sango asked. "Like I said to the other onna. It's none of your business." Hiei said walking past them. He walked over to where he had dropped his sword when Naraku hit him.

"Hiei I have a question." Miroku said. Hiei looked over his shoulder to show that he was listening. The only reason he was even bothering was because in some ways the monk almost reminded him of Kurama. But there were still many differences.

"Do you have any idea why Naraku attacked you? He has been in hiding lately and never just shows himself like that. Do you have any idea why he might have come out in to the open?" Miroku asked. Hiei looked back ahead of him. "It seemed like he wanted to know how powerful I was and he also tried to bribe me in to killing the mutt." Hiei said. "What!" Inuyasha almost yelled.

"Hiei do you have any plans to join Naraku?" Sango asked. Part of her didn't believe he would and another was hoping that he wouldn't. She wasn't sure why but she didn't want him to leave there group and definitely didn't want to fight him.

'Why do I seem to care so much? It doesn't make any sense.' Sango thought to herself. "Hn don't worry onna. Once I form a alliance I don't break it." Hiei said. He bent down and picked up his sword and put it back in its sheath.

"Kagome can you still sense the jewel shards?" Inuyasha asked. "No. They're too far for me to sense them. I'm sorry." Kagome said. "Feh it's not your fault. Lets go." Inuyasha said.

Everyone started to make their way out of the forest towards the village so as to get a starting point on where to go next. Hiei stayed in the back of the group. Inuyasha was in the front with Miroku walking beside him, Shippo was riding on Miroku's shoulder, and Kagome and Sango were in the middle. Sango was carrying Kilala in her arms after she had changed back in to her smaller form. Sango looked like she was thinking of something.

'When he said that he wouldn't betray us it felt like a weight was lifted from me. Why? Why am I feeling this way? It doesn't make sense.' Sango thought.

Kagome looked over to her friend and saw how her face looked. It looked like she was having some kind of conflict within herself.

"Sango are you ok?" Kagome asked her friend worriedly. Sango snapped out of her trance and looked at her. "Wha… oh I'm fine Kagome. Just thinking of something." Sango said. Kagome was going to ask what about but Inuyasha cut her off.

"Alright which direction do you guys think?" Inuyasha asked. Miroku offered a direction and they headed that way. Sango saw that Kagome was about to ask her what but stopped her.

"I'll talk to you about it some other time." Sango said.

End Chapter 6

My god I'm finally done with this chapter. I think I'm going to change the title soon. I'm thinking Hiei's journey in the past. I think it fits more. I'll probably change the title in a day or two so when you see that it's going to be the same story. Also I've been trying to work on my other story and I have a number of ideas for how it starts but I just can't seem to come up with an idea for the first chapter. So hopefully I'll come up with something soon. One more thing. I've been having a lack of ideas for this story. I knew how I wanted it to start and I have a few ideas for the end but around where I am now I'm having trouble coming up with some ideas. So if anyone can come up with some ideas that would be must appreciative. If I can't come up with some things of my own or get help for some ideas than I might end up rushing this. Later.
