Chapter 1 Meeting each other

Hiei flew down the road heading for nowhere special. It had been another horribly long day. He hated those days which were just about every day. The window was down the window was rolled down blowing his jet hair around like crazy. His red eyes glared at the road. He was so caught up in one of his infamous I-hate-the-world-moods that he didn't notice the drunk driving like mad behind him.

"Hn...what the hell," Hiei finally noticed the guy coming up on him in the mirror. He tried to get out of the way of the crazy, but he seemed to follow him! It all happened so fast! Before he new what was happening, Hiei soon saw a windshield full of brick wall. Then all went black.

The ten year old orphan, Kurama, sadly walked down the street, a look of deep sadness and thought on his face. You could still see the remains of tears on his cheeks. You could also still see the bruises on him.

Flashback

Kurama sat in chair in the middle of a dark room with little light. Kurama looked around nervously. Suddenly, a cold voice asked, "What did you bring for me this time fox? " A tall man stepped towards the light so he was just visible. He had short dark hair and was wearing jeans and a leather jacket, his grey eyes glared down at him, he had a small frown on his face, and he also had a thin white scar below his right eye. Scar. That was his name, or at least, that was the name Kurama new him by. Just thinking of it put chills up Kurama's back. He shivered as he handed the man a bag, careful not to look into his eyes as if they would suck his soul out. The man jerked it from Kurama's quivering hand. Inside was some stolen cash that the man immediately to count.

"You have really outdone yourself this time Dipshit; this is almost three times more than what you usually bring in. What's the occasion it's not my birthday yet?"

"Y-yes" Kurama stuttered," I worked extra hard this week. I…," Kurama hesitated. Finally, he got the courage to say what had wanted to say for a while now. "I want out! I'm not going to steal you any more! It's wrong!"

Scar gave Kurama an angry death glare. "So you want out of our deal. Don't want to steal anymore." He said at first barley audible, and then he got louder and louder till he was shouting. "I found you after your parents died! I TAUGHT YOU TO STEAL! IN OTHER WORDS, HOW TO LIVE! I MADE A DEAL WITH YOU THAT OTHER ORPHANS WOULD HAVE BEGGED FOR! YOU STEAL FOR ME, I GIVE YOU FOOD!"

'Well fed, ya right!' Even as the cruel man spoke, Kurama's belly growled. He had not eaten for days.

"I PROTECT YOU!" The sad orphan thought of all the scars and bruises that covered his body most were from his 'protector'. "I GAVE YOU CLOTHES AND SHELTER!" Kurama tried not to think of the rags he was wearing or the rat-infested hellhole of an abandoned warehouse Scar called shelter. The wicked man continued, "But most important, I let you live." Kurama looked into the mans eyes. He

realized that Scar would kill him if he tried to get out. He gulped "I'm sorry…..I don't know what I was thinking" Scar smirked "I thought so."

End Flashback

Crash! Kurama jerked out of his thoughts to see two cars crash in front of his eyes. Kurama ran over to the first car. The man was dead. He had hit the windshield a little too hard. Kurama could smell the alcohol on his breath (A/N Kids don't drink and drive! Wait, if you are kids, you shouldn't be drinking at all. ' opps! I'm going to shut up now.) Kurama ran to the other car. A short man with jet black hair with a white star shaped spot in the middle lay in it. He was unconscious. Bleeding and bruised, but still alive. Kurama pulled him from the totaled mess that was at one time a car.

Kurama took a deep breath and let it out with a sigh. "Now for the hospital."
