"Hiei," Yukina said happily, "you stopped."

"You!" Hiei shouted as he turned around and glared at Eiji.

Eiji took a few steps back and asked, "How did you wake up? It's impossible."

Yusuke said, "Well you did just try to make him kill-" he stopped in his tracks and stared at Kurama, "a-a-young girl for no reason other than she's standing here. Wouldn't that make you stop?" He helped Yukina to her feet.

Hiei asked, "Do you think you're going to get away with this alive?" He lunged forward as Eiji turned and ran, but not fast enough. Hiei cut him down within seconds and then looked back at the group. "What happened here?"

"You are what happened," Yusuke replied.

"What?" Hiei asked as he looked at the incinerated trees and how battered everyone was, then proceeded to faint from losing so much energy.

"How's Hiei doing?" Botan asked as she walked into Genkai's temple.

Yukina answered, "He's been asleep for over a day now."

Genkai explained, "I'm not surprised. I felt how much energy he was producing from here. I could feel him tapping into his life energy to try to kill someone. It could be another day until he wakes up." She stood up.

Botan asked, "Need any help Genkai?"

"Come into the kitchen if you need something," she replied. They left and left Yukina and Hiei alone.

Just as Yukina sat back, Hiei's eyes opened. After a quick glance around the room he bolted upright. "Hiei!" she said nervously, "Are you okay? What happened?"

"I don't remember," he answered, "one minute I was in a tree and the next I was chained up, and then I was attacking you." He looked over at her. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," she replied, "and apparently I have the strength to freeze your dragon solid and rip it apart. I still can't believe I did that."

Hiei stared at her in shock. We really are related, he thought. "Hn," he replied, "I suppose I shouldn't have been so worried then."

"Well Kurama and Kazuma got huge gashes from you," she explained, "don't worry, I healed them up just fine. Urameshi couldn't land a hit, you're so fast. The forest you incinerated should grow back just fine too." She smiled at him. "Why were you worried?"

He collected his sword and explained, "I woke up, but I wasn't in control of my body. Then that men commanded that I kill you, but I couldn't stop myself. I thought you were going to die for sure."

Yukina said, "Thank you, for caring about that. You're probably right, I you didn't stop yourself I was too weak to move out of the way."

"Why didn't you move out of the way to begin with?" Hiei asked as he looked back over at her.

"I just thought maybe if I shouted at you enough you'd wake up," she replied, "and you did. It all went according to plan." He really was worried about me, she thought, how strange.

Botan walked back through the door with Genkai and said, "Yukina we-Hiei you're finally awake!"

"I was just leaving," he said as he stood up and walked toward the door.

"That's it?" Botan asked, "Not even a 'thank you?'"

"For what?" he asked.

Yukina said, "You can go Hiei, that's alright."

"Hn," Hiei said as he walked out of Genkai's temple. He jumped for the trees and headed back to demon world and Mukuro.

The End
