I'm very sorry that this took so long to get up. I can't seem to stop forgetting about it. Time seems to slip past me very easily. Well here it is, chapter 16. I'm surprised that I've kept up with this story, let alone starting that second story. I was expecting myself to kindof forget about this completely. But I think it's because of all the viewers that I've kept this going as long as it has. I would like to thank everyone, that reads this story, very much. Even if most don't leave a review just knowing that people are continuing to read it helps me alot to keep this going. Well I'll be quiet now so that everyone can read the story. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho or Inuyasha. Just this story in which I placed them in.

Hiei's Journey In The Past

Chapter 16

Naraku's Castle

Normal POV

Naraku sat by his window in his room. He had watched the small conflict between Sango, Miroku, and Hiei. Soon after he saw them head back to the village with a new comer. There he discovered why Hiei seem somewhat similar to Kagome. A smirk crossed Naraku's face. He started to chuckle to himself in a low voice.

"Hn. This could work to my advantage."

Back At The Village

Kurama let out a heavy sigh. He was hoping that this would be easy. Turning to look at the others Kurama asked, "Do any of you know what he meant by that?"

Kagome and the others thought it over. After a few seconds Sango's head popped up.

"I know where he's going!?"

Naraku's Castle

Naraku stood in the doorway leading in to his keep. He had told Kagura to bring Oni to him. As he stood there waiting he thought his plan over again. It was a simple plan but should suffice. Shortly after Oni appeared, dropping down from above and landing on one knee, and stayed in that kneeled over position.

"You called Naraku?" she asked in a low voice.

Back At The Village

"So that's it?" Kurama asked.

"Yes. I'm sure that's it. Unless something else happened it can't be anything else."

"So where exactly will I find this Oni?"

"That's the thing. We don't know. Where ever Naraku is is where Oni will be. But Naraku is always hiding," Kagome explained.

"I see. I'm sorry for taking up your time but if you'll excuse me I need to get going," Kurama said, giving them a slight bow before turning to leave.

As he was walking away Kagome reached out and grabbed on to his arm.

"Wait a minute you can't go on your own! You don't have a clue as to where to look. Plus you'll probably get lost."

"Besides. If this involves Naraku than it involves us," Sango added.

A small smile crossed Kurama's lips. He closed his eyes briefly while in thought.

'So this is who Hiei's been around. It's hard to believe.'

Kurama opened his eyes to look at the people in front of him.

"If this is what you want to do than I don't mind. But time is very important at the moment and I have none to spare."

"We do want to help! Right guys?" Kagome said as she looked over to her friends.

"As long as he's not weak and a pain in the ass than I don't care," Inuyasha said.

"He seems like someone we can trust," Miroku said.

"Sure. Why not."

"Yeah. But I agree with him about having to hurry. We don't know what Naraku might try while Hiei's on his own and still recovering," Sango said.

Naraku's Castle

"Do you understand the plan?" Naraku asked.

"Yes. Naraku," Oni said with her head still bowed.

"Good. Now go. But don't fail again. There is no excuse this time."

After saying that Naraku disappeared back into the shadows of his castle. Oni snorted in disgust when Naraku disappeared. With her short time being there she had grown to greatly dislike Naraku. She didn't care for any of his ambitions.

Oni stood up and looked down at the new weapons that Naraku had given her. They were a pair of twin sabers. Nothing special. But she did approve of them more than her previous weapon, which still hung at the backside her hip incase of emergency.

Oni turned to leave and start her mission when she saw Kohaku. She didn't care much for him either and thought that he would be better off dead. Thinking about how much control Naraku has over them filled her with great anger. She quickly looked away from the boy and began to sprint towards the opening in the barrier, which was meant to be her exit.

When Oni was on the outside the barrier closed back up. It didn't take her long to get far from her hellhole. As she ran she started to think to herself.

'Naraku. Just you wait. It might not be me but someone will definitely kill you some day."

Forest

Hiei sat on one of the higher branches of the countless trees. He had decided to take a small breather, which greatly displeased him. Hiei clenched his right hand and looked down at it.

"Damn that woman! I should have been more careful."

Hiei's thought's wondered back to when he fought with Naraku's newest incarnation, Oni. He remembered exactly how the battle went, very clearly. The fight might have moved over into his favor if it wasn't for one thing. Her lighting. When her chain had wrapped around his sword and she sent that electrical current through her chain and through his sword into him it felt like his demonic energy was being sucked away. If it weren't for that the battle would have ended differently.

Black flames started to seep out from beneath the bandages around his right arm.

"Hn. Next time I see her I'll show her what real power is."

With that said, Hiei stood back up and continued his search.

Nightfall

Kurama and the Inu gang sat around a fire. They had just finished eating and were now sitting in silence. Finally Kagome decided to say something.

"So how's Yusuke and Kuwabara?"

Kurama looked up from the fire and over to her.

"Aside from what's going on they're doing well," Kurama said while smiling.

Kagome began to blush and looked over, acting like she was looking at something. Seeing this Inuyasha started to glare at Kurama. A low growl started up in his throat. Hearing this Sango decided to ask her own question, one that has been bugging her for a long time.

"Kurama. Can you tell me something?"

Kurama looked over to Sango.

"Yes."

"This has been bothering me for a long time now. But why does Hiei have his right arm bandaged up?"

Hearing the question asked caught the others attentions. Inuyasha even forgot why he was growling in the first place.

"You mean he hasn't used it since he's been here?"

"Used what?"

"Those bandages on Hiei's arm are meant to seal his dragon there."

Everyone raised there their eyebrows, clearly showing their confusion. See them like that Kurama gave them a brief explanation about it. Once finished some of them looked interested and some terrified. Those interested were Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha. Kagome and Shippo were the ones terrified.

"I hope that we're never around if he decides to use that thing," Shippo said, in a slightly trembling voice, from behind Kagome.

"Yeah. I can't imagine what it would feel like to be hit by something like that," Kagome said.

"I believe no one can. Since it's almost impossible to survive," Kurama said.

"Is there a way to block such a powerful attack?" Miroku asked.

"Yes, actually there is a way to block it. But even than it's still difficult. If someone is able to create a powerful enough barrier the dragon can be blocked. I almost didn't believe it the first time I saw it," Kurama said with an amused smile.

"If it was blocked I'm assuming that it was a bad thing. But if that's the case why are you smiling?" Sango asked.

"No reason. You'll have to see it for yourself. You might not believe me if I tell you."

Before Sango could question him on that Inuyasha interrupted her.

"Kurama. What are you able to do? We already know what Hiei can but not you. I don't want to have to be saving your ass if you get in the way and can't defend yourself."

"Inuyasha!" Kagome exclaimed.

"It's alright Kagome. What I'm able to do is manipulate plants."

"Plants?! What the hell kind of ability is that?"

"Inuyasha! Stop being so rude?"

"You will see during the next battle we come across. Well I think I'm going to go to bed now. We will need to wake up early if we hope to even catch up to Hiei the slightest bit."

Everyone else decided that it was a good time to turn in as well.

Morning

Oni awoke the next morning to the suns rays shining on to her eyes. She raised her left hand and blocked the bothersome light from blinding her.

"Damn sun."

She had decided the previous night to sleep under a trunk of a raised tree root. Getting up she began to stretch her arms and legs. After a few minutes she decided that it was time to go.

Before she climbed out from underneath the root she popped her head out to make sure there was no one out there. Once she saw that it was clear she climbed out. She checked once to make sure that her equipment was in place and than sprinted off in a random direction.

"What would be the best why to approach him? I can't just run up to him with those damn bakas still standing next to him. They'll just get in the way."

Oni kept trying to think of different things that she could do. She decided to stop for a minute when an idea popped up in her head. She reached to her side and pulled one of her swords out of its sheath partly. She examined herself in the reflection. A smirk graced her lips.

"Maybe…huh?"

She quickly sheathed her blade and jumped into a bush. She sensed powerful demonic energy coming in her direction at an incredible pace. When she felt the energy stop it stopped not to far from her hiding place.

'Damn! Did it notice me?'

After a while of nothing happening Oni decided to try and get a glimpse of the demon. When she parted the leafs to the bush she started to look at the surrounding area. There was nothing there. So she looked up. Her eyes widened partly when she saw who it was. Slowly her eyes went back to normal and a smirk crossed her lips.

'This just makes it so much easier.'

Up in the trees stood Hiei. He was using his hand to lean against the tree as he looked at the surrounding area.

"Where is that damned women."

In frustration Hiei took the hand that was supporting him and punched it into the bark of the tree. The entire tree shook from the impact and leafs began to slowly fall, showering the area.

Hiei pulled his fist out of the tree and was about to leave when he was stopped.

"Well hello there."
