Chapter Six: Mysterious Attacker Revealed
"Why are we here?" questioned Kuwabara.
"Well since Hiei is conscious, now he can tell us what happened last night," responded Koenma.
All eyes fell upon the fire demon as they waited silently for him to relay the details of the previous night. Some time passed as Hiei appeared to be gathering his thoughts. Just as Kuwabara looked about to snap, the fire demon finally spoke.
"About an hour after Yuusuke left, the door was kicked in and the fight began. I managed to kill the demon, but…" There was a long pause. "I'm certain he wasn't sent to kill me."
"A warning perhaps," Kurama theorized.
"But then why would they try to kill you a few days ago and not now?" the orange haired boy asked resting his chin against his hand.
"Maybe they were testing him?" Yuusuke added.
"Think Yuusuke," started Kurama, "If they were testing him the warning would have come first."
The demi-god chimed in. "If you're all done, I'd like Hiei to continue."
Hiei removed a bandage that covered the left side of his chest. There was a burn mark in the shape of a jaguar right over his heart. Yuusuke and Kuwabara voiced their obvious disgust at seeing it. Kurama on the other hand moved to inspect it closely.
"That mark," he said. "I think I've seen it before."
"This is the mark of death," Hiei said. "No doubt you've seen it before. The bandits who raised me use this mark as a warning on their targets. It means that they are hunting you, and before the mark fades you will be killed. I've never seen them fail at killing a target before."
"Why would the people who raised you want to kill you?" Kuwabara asked.
"Fear is what drives demons to murder," said Kurama looking Kuwabara in the eyes. "Hiei is powerful, there's no doubt about that." The orange haired boy visibly shuddered.
"Fear isn't what makes them want to kill me. They abandoned me and left me for dead. Now that they know I'm alive, they want to finish the job."
The room fell silent as everyone gathered their thoughts. Suddenly the former detective's thoughts were shattered by a certain demon's telepathic abilities.
'There's more to it than what I've said.'
'I figured as much and I'm sure Kurama suspects that much too,' Yuusuke replied.
'I killed the mate of whom I can only assume is the new leader.'
'So he's after revenge.'
'Yes.' There was a long pause before Hiei continued. 'She knows about Kurama and my feelings toward him.'
'She?' Yuusuke wasn't expecting that one. 'Anyways, fox boy can take care of himself.'
'I know that,' the fire demon snapped angrily. 'I just don't want Kurama to find out that way.'
Yuusuke wanted to say something, but he couldn't think of anything to say that would reassure the small demon. Their telepathic conversation was cut off by Koenma speaking.
"I didn't want to say anything because I didn't think it was relevant until now. I received something early this morning." The demi-god reached into his pocket and pulled out a small white piece of paper. Two words were written on it and they appeared to be written in blood.
"We're watching," the orange haired boy said slowly reading the words on the paper.
"At first I assumed it was a hoax or a prank as we get them often." Koenma appeared to be lost in thought. "However they've never been written in blood before. At least not real blood…"
"Koenma," the red head said snapping the demi-god out of his thoughts. "Perhaps you can analyze the blood and find out whom it belongs to."
Koenma nodded and informed Botan to take it back to Spirit World to have it thoroughly examined and analyzed. The bubbly girl nodded, summoned her oar, and flew out the window to follow her boss' instructions.
"Well if we're done here," Yuusuke said as he stood up and stretched. He suppressed a yawn as he headed for the hallway that led to his room. "I'm going to go take a nap."
"Urameshi," Kuwabara growled.
"Yuusuke hold on!" the demi-god called out.
"Look I get it. Someone wants Hiei dead. I seriously doubt they would attack with all of us here." The raven haired boy continued down the hallway toward his still charred bed.
Yuusuke vaguely heard Kurama agree with his little speech. Upon entering his room, his eyes fell upon a manila envelope lying at the end of his charred bed. Cautiously he walked over and picked it up. There was nothing written on it. Slowly he opened it and removed what was inside. Chocolate brown eyes narrowed at the picture he held in his hands. It was from the previous night. Koenma and Yuusuke were cuddled together on a futon on the floor. Crumpling up the picture, his trained eyes scanned his room.
"Now now detective, that's no way to treat a gift," scolded a seductive woman's voice from behind him.
Yuusuke turned quickly to face her, a smirk appearing on his face. "Shows what you know. I haven't been a detective in years."
"I'm well aware of the incident with Sensui. It just has a certain… ring to it." She stepped out of the shadows. Leathery black bat wings stretched out before folding behind her back once more.
She appeared to look mostly human. That is if you ignored the pointed ears, black serpent like tail, and the bat wings. A deep purple tube top covered her breasts and matching shorts barely covered everything else. She had a fair skin complexion and long nails the resembled claws. Short dark purple hair that almost touched her shoulders and bright lavender eyes completed her unique look. She smirked revealing a couple of fangs in the process.
"You see, you and your," she paused for a moment looking for the right word, "Friends, are in the way of my goal. If you continue getting in my way," she took a step forward, "Then I'm afraid you'll be punished."
"Sorry lady," Yuusuke said as he channeled energy into his fist," But I have this bad habit of not listening to what people tell me to do!" Without missing a beat he charged at her.

Koenma stood in the kitchen looking for something to drink. A conversation about Hiei's encounter with the messenger demon was taking place behind him, only Hiei wasn't talking. The demi-god was secretly waiting for an opportunity to sneak off and wreak his revenge on Yuusuke. Koenma's attention turned back to the group as Hiei abruptly stood up, his energy rising drastically.
"She's here!" he growled.
Without warning, Yuusuke came crashing through the wall where Koenma had been previously seated. The half demon's newly replaced couch was completely destroyed in the process. Bits of stuffing and fluff littered the air and the once clean living area.
"Yuu-chan!" Koenma cried out instinctively as he ran over to the boy. Besides a few broken ribs from going through the wall, he appeared to have no other injuries.
Yuusuke struggled to sit up as he spoke. "Don't you guys have anything better to do than destroy my home?"
"Tsk tsk," she scolded him again. "It's your own fault. You charged at me first."
"Prepare to die demon!" Kuwabara cried out. "Spirit Sword!" He charged at the demon.
With the flick of her wrist she sent the poor boy flying across the room. He crashed into the wall before falling to the floor unconscious.
"My my you boys are blood thirsty. I'm just here to say hello." She smiled as she hovered above the floor floating through the newly made doorway. She stopped as her eyes fell on the junior ruler. He was glaring as viciously as he could muster. "Ooh scary," she laughed. "Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your boyfriend."
The lavender eyed demon barely moved in time to dodge Yuusuke's punch. She dodged as he swung at her again, but this time she grabbed his arm and threw him over her shoulder. As his broken ribs slammed into the floor, the half demon coughed up blood. Her foot crashed down on his chest repeatedly, causing him to cough up more blood.
"Stop it!" the demi-god cried out as he rushed to Yuusuke's aid and grabbed the demon's leg to stop her from smashing the half demon's ribs further.
Using her psychic powers, she restrained the brunette and forced him to his feet. "Ya know, in this form you're kinda cute."
Her hands moved to explore the demi-god's body. Just as she was about to touch his most sensitive area, something wrapped around her wrist.
"I will not allow this to continue," said Kurama. "Leave if you value your life."
Facing the red headed fox demon she frowned deeply. She grabbed a hold of the thorny whip and suddenly pulled him towards her. "I was going to say the same to you." With that she used her psychic powers to blast the red head through the kitchen table.
"Kurama!" Hiei cried out.
Releasing her psychic hold on Koenma she turned her attention to Hiei. "Hello Hiei," she said. Suddenly the demi-god grabbed her from behind in a futile attempt to stop her. "You're really starting to aggravate me."
Turning she slapped the demi-god hard across the face causing him to fly back and hit the wall. He coughed up blood as his body actually dented the hard wall. After his body fell to the floor he struggled to get up. He wouldn't let it end, not this way.
"I won't let you do this!" Koenma yelled as he managed to make it to his feet.
She turned to face the demi-god. "You just don't know when to quit do you?"
Raising her hand she powered up for an attack. She released the energy and it headed straight for the brunette. Koenma braced his body for the attack, but it never came. Yuusuke had managed to get up and block the powerful attack from hitting his love. Smoke rose off the boy's body from various burns caused by the attack. His knees hit the floor before he fell backwards only to be caught by Koenma.
"Yuu-chan!"
Satisfied with her work, the lavender eyed demon turned to face the fire demon once more. "It's been a while hasn't it?"
"What do you want?" he snapped back.
"Can't an old friend stop by and say hello?" She received a rude gesture in response. She knew that he was well aware that she wasn't here to kill him… at least not today. "I'll give you a few days to restore your energy. After that…" She began walking backwards. "The hunt will be on." With that she disappeared.
Hiei ran to Kurama to check his injuries and was instantly relieved when he discovered only minor ones. "Are you alright?" he asked.
"I'll be fine." The red head slowly sat up. "I'm more worried about what just happened and why you're not telling us everything."
Both demons fell silent as they heard Koenma speaking to Yuusuke across the room.
"Yuu-chan, hang on. I contacted Botan and she's going to get Yukina. They'll be here soon."
"Is Hiei alright?" the raven haired boy choked out.
"He's fine," Koenma replied.
Yuusuke let out a strained sigh. "That's a relief." There was a long pause. "You lied to me."
"What?"
"We agreed you wouldn't call me Yuu-chan in front of anyone."
"I know. I was worried about you though. I'm sorry."
"Nah don't be." There was a strained chuckle. "Although now we can't keep it a secret anymore."
"Just rest Yuu-chan. Worry about that stuff later when your ribs aren't in pieces."
Hiei helped Kurama up and the two stood there staring at the couple on the floor.
"Look at them Hiei," said Kurama.
"Yes it's so sweet it'll give you cavities," Hiei added.
Both boys blushed deeply on the floor. Shortly afterwards Yukina arrived and went straight to the task of healing Yuusuke and his shattered ribs. Botan focused on healing the others and their minor injuries. Once Botan was finished and Kuwabara was conscious, Koenma and the boys carried the broken furniture out of the apartment so that it could be replaced with new furniture. Once Yuusuke's ribs were back together, Yukina bandaged up his chest to keep the burn wounds from getting infected. Once she left, they all congregated in the living area once more so that Hiei could tell all.
"Her name is Akabe. She's the only psychic that was a part of the bandit troupe. She has since then greatly increased her powers and is no doubt the leader of the bandits."
"That still doesn't explain why she wants to kill you," the fox demon stated, pinning Hiei down with a cold stare.
The fire demon paused. "I killed her mate some time ago."
