Hiei's POV
The detective, fox, and oaf showed up just after the enemy demons murdered each other. "What the hell happened?" the detective yelled. Did you kill all of them, Hiei?"
"No..." I replied, still putting the pieces together. "They killed each other." I glanced to the angel on my left. Was that energy from her? If so, what did she do?
"What? The bad guys killed themselves?" the detective asks.
"We'll investigate later. Let us go," the fox says. The detective nods and I snatch the angel back up in my arms. This time, she watched things as they passed, but she still had a tight hold on my cloak. Through her mind's eyes, I could see many green 'auras' in the shape of trees, bushes, and grass. We came upon the portal after a few minutes. To the onna, the portal looked like a giant pit of white.
Without sparing another thought to the onna's curious way of seeing things, I jumped into the portal. The onna clutched me tightly as we fell through the portal. I looked into her mind and saw as she saw. The blinding white was enough to terrify anyone. I looked down at her as her mind's eye went black and I realized that she was now squinting her eyes tightly shut.
We landed in the toddler's office and I set the onna down. The cold of the tile made her open her eyes. I watched her look around the room. She still had a look of fear in her eyes, but she hid it well.
"I see the mission was a success," the toddler said, sending a glance towards the angel beside me. Her eyes jumped to the toddler when he spoke, but she didn't linger long. She kept her gaze pretty fixated on me.
"Hell yeah!" the detective yelled as she threw one of his arms over the onna's shoulders. She tried to mask the look of pain in her eyes, but I easily saw through it. The detective didn't, however.
"Ow.. That hurts.. but, if Yusuke's happy," she thought, pushing a smile onto her face.
" I would like to know why those demons killed each other," the fox said thoughfully.
"Oh no," the onna thought. I felt her tense as everyone but us made noises in agreement. She got noticeably paler, as well. "Will they be mad at me for what I did? Surely, they wouldn't, right? I helped, didn't I?" She thought in a panic. It was almost entertaining listening to her thoughts. But, now I had clarification that she was the one who had been behind the slaughter. "I hope Hiei doesn't say anything... I'm almost certain he knows I had something to do with it..." She was more astute than she looked.
"Hn, ask the onna," I said, wnating to see how she'd react. I walked over to my windowseat and sat down to enjoy the entertainment. She didn't fail to amuse me. The onna's face turned a bright shade of pink.
"I-I just gave them a litle suggestion...nothing special," she stuttered, beginning to play uncomfortably with the ends of her kimono sleeves.
"Awesome!" the detective cheered. Her face seemed to get brighter. She seemed unused to being praised.
"Miss Urameshi, I am Koenma, ruler of the Spirit World. It is a pleasure to meet you," the toddler said formally. The onna only nodded at the child.
"That little gold aura is a prince? Why is my brother so casual around him? Are they friends?" she thought. I smirked at her attempts to understand the situation.
"And I'm Botan!" the child's annoying assistant shrilled, nearly making my ears bleed. From the wince, I could tell the onna thought the same. "Have you met everyone already? Well, I'll introduce them all anyways! You obviously know Yusuke, Hiei is the one sitting in the window, Kurama is the red-head, and Kuwabara is the one with orange hair!" she explained without taking a breath.
"Alright, so I know the light blue is my brother, the really beautiful one is Hiei, but that leaves the light green and yellow...which one is Kurama and which is Kuwabara?" the onna though nerviously. Her thoughts confused me slightly. "It's a pleasure to meet everyone," she said with a small smile. "I'll figure it out, I guess. I don't want to explain my...condition to them. Hopefully nobody notices..." she thought. She's blind. She seemed so genuinely distraught with the idea of telling us about it. I can understand that. She doesn't want to expose her weakness. I won't say anything, no need to be that cruel.
"Is something wrong, Miss Mitsukai?" the fox asked her. I could almost see the hope shatter in her eyes, and her face grew to a bright shade of red. I sent a small glare towards the stupid fox. He's got a brain, I'm sure he knows there's something different about her.
"What if my brother is disappointed that his long-lost big sister is...blind? What if he doesn't want me anymore?" she thought with more panic than ever. "Well..." she began. She fumbled around for the words for a while. Her mind was frozen with fear, so I decided to assist her.
"She's blind, bakas," I state. Everyone but the fox gasps. He knew, obviously, and still chose to out her so callously.
"H-how did you know, H-hiei?" she stutters. Her fists were tightly clenched. "How...how dare he! I wasn't even sure I wanted everyone to know something so shameful, especially not from anyone else!" she thought angrily.
"If it weren't for the fox, I wouldn't have said anything, onna," I state in her mind. She jumps a little at the sudden intrusion. I feel myself instantly kicked out of her mind, a very strong defense put up around it.
"I didn't realize you were a telepath, Hiei," she says coldly. I was almost shocked by the harshness of her voice. She must be extremely upset. But, why hadn't she used her mind blocks before?
"Why didn't you say so, Miss Mitsukai?" the fox asks her.
"I was...embarrassed, I suppose," she murmurs, covering her face. Her voice was back to the sweet, quiet tone it normally took. I wanted to brush her hair from her face. I couldn't understand the things I was feeling, and it was infuriating me.
"Well, there's no reason to be," the fox said, lifting her delicate face to look at him. At the moment, I wanted nothing more than to rip the fox's arms off. Her face turned crimson once again and I felt her mind defenses slip, so I took the chance to enter her mind again.
"It feels so...nice..." she though dreamily. My anger flared. I wanted to grab her away from that damn lecherous fox! Why was she making me feel this way? It must still be from her energy. I calmed myself quickly, catching her silver eyes glancing towards me worriedly.
"My name is Kurama," the fox said. The onna pulled herself away from him and smiled.
"So you're Kuwabara," she smiled at the oaf. His mind was full of nothing but thoughts of my sister. I'd have to kill him, too. The onna's mind was still open to me, so I continued listening to her. In her mind's eye, she saw the oaf's projection of Yukina. She focused intently on her eyes. "I wonder what Hiei looks like. Perhaps I could ask my brother to take a mental image of everyone for me..." she thought. "Maybe now that I'm free from my captors, I could find a doctor that could fix my eyes..." she suddenly giggled, and I felt my cheeks warm at the melodious sound. "Well, it really is a pleasure to meet all of my little brother's friends!" she says warmly.
