3rd person

One…two…three…four…one, two…one, two

Surina watched her fingers fly across the piano. She stopped when there was a knock on her door. Sighing in slight annoyance, she got up from her seat and answered it. A girl with light blue hair stood before her. She blinked once, and her pink eyes grew wide with excitement.

"Hello Miss Botan. Can I help you today?" Surina asked, letting her in. The ferry girl sat at the coffee table.

"Lord Koenma sent me to bring you back to the Spirit World. He says that it's important," said Botan. Surina brought her some tea.

"Do you know what he wants?"

"…He did mention something about the spirit detectives' mission and that you were involved. That's all I know…" she replied. Surina nodded, gazing over to her piano. Botan seemed to notice.

"Can you play one song for me before we leave?" She asked, sipping her tea. Surina smiled and sat herself down in front of her piano.

"One…two…three…four…" She whispered starting out Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. When she was done, the tea was gone she stretched her hands.

"That was….that was beautiful." Botan breathed, summoning her oar. Surina hopped on after locking her door and watched the city disappear as they ascended into the clouds.

"Why isn't Botan here yet?" asked Yuske. Kuwabara and Kurama were present but, not Hiei. Koenma shifted in his chair. At the same time, Botan opened the huge doors along with another young woman that the team didn't recognize. The new girl was small-built, had silver and white hair, light silver eyes and, was wearing a British style dress. She shyly waved. Kuwabara waved back while Yuske and Kurama gave a welcoming smile.

"Botan, I'm not paying you to dally around! We've got an emergency on our hands, here!" The toddler yelled. Botan glared.

"Maybe if you'd actually pay me once in a while, I'd be on time more!" she retorted. Surina smiled at Koenma.

"I'm glad to see you again, Lord Koenma." She said respectfully. He blushed and realized that he was starting to argue with Botan.

"Me too, Surina. Do you know why you're here?" He asked. She shook her head. The team had different looks of emotion on their faces.

"Well…one of my Spirit Detectives has been infected with the vampire curse. We all know that it's incurable. Since you've had contact with the likes of them, you would know what is in store for him."

Surina looked saddened.

"How did he get infected?"

"Mukuro brought him in sleeping. No matter how hard we all tried, he wouldn't wake up. He's been sleeping since Daylight, as Mukuro told us. We did examine him and find two puncture wounds on his neck." The prince explained. Surina's eyes widened.

"He must've been infected long before he was brought to you to have the Daylight sleeping portion of the curse. He will wake at sunset."

"You must tell us what else will happen to Hiei." Kurama pressed on.

"The virus takes a while to cause any real harm to the host. The symptoms are: sleeping during the day, growing of the fangs, heightened awareness, and hunger for blood, the thirst to kill and finally, the aggression to mate." Surina finished. "Your friend is only in the first stage. The others will come soon enough. I should see him to make sure it is the vampire curse and not a werewolf curse. May I?" Surina asked the spirit ruler.

"Yes, be sure to notify me or anyone if he wakes up. I don't know how he'll act…" Surina stepped out of the room to be accompanied by Kurama.

"…Follow me…" he said, starting down the hall. The girl walked after him. After some time he spoke. "Do you think…Hiei will be much different from how he was before?"

"…Your friend is a demon. If he really holds on to his demon hood, his mind will be free of any vampire thoughts. At least…that's what I'm hoping." Surina replied, shyly looking away from his eyes. Kurama still wasn't satisfied. Stopping, he brought his hand under her chin, making her look at him.

"Surina…Hiei is my friend and I'm afraid that he won't be the same Hiei that I know when he walks out of that room! Please, help him the best you can and take care of him." He pled, looking away and releasing her. Blushing furiously, Surina nodded and ran into the room. She leant back on the door, once inside.

'Oh, why do I always make a complete fool of myself in front of people? It's not fair that I'm so shy…' thought Surina, sadly. She noticed a boy lying in the bed. He had black/white/blue spiked hair and slept peacefully under dark green blankets. 'Wow…I never thought someone undergoing the change could be so calm.'

The girl looked around and found two beds in the sleeping area. Confused, Surina sat at the table (apparently, the room was as large as a small apartment). While sitting, her thoughts began to drift…

A small girl stood, her eyes unblinking, holding her tattered panda bear doll. Her parents were gone again, leaving her to wander into the graveyard behind her house. Her only friends were the spirits that roamed around their gravesites. This little girl could see and talk to the dead. Later on, she had come in contact with demons, vampires, werewolves, and other spiritual creatures. She was recognized by Spirit World and enlisted. That girl…was Surina Sakamoto; spiritual expert.

"Who are you?" asked a gruff voice. Surina turned to see the Hiei was awake and hadn't bothered to get up from his spot.

"Oh…you're awake…My name is Surina. I'm going to take care of you while you stay here. How are you feeling?" she questioned, coming to his side. He sat up with a painful look on his face.

"Hn. I don't need to be babysat." Hiei scoffed. He stared at Surina for a long time, causing her to blush out of shyness. After a moment, he spoke. "Can I see them?" He said the words in such a low voice that Surina wondered if he had even said them. Then, she remembered something.

"…Oh…alright," Surina replied, getting up and walking to the phone hanging on the wall. She pushed the speed dial to Koenma's office.

"…Hello?" asked the prince on the other line.

"He's awake, Lord Koenma. He wants to see his friends…" Surina recalled. Hiei stared with blank eyes, studying her from across the room. She shivered and tried to ignore it.

"Great! How is he? Wait-I'll come see for myself! We'll all be right there." There was a sound of someone covering the phone and Surina could hear the Lord's excited chatter. "Ogre, He's awake! Call the team and tell them to go to room 113!" Surina smiled and hung up the phone.

"…Who brought me here?" Hiei asked in the low voice. He must've still been tired.

"Some one named Mukuro." The fire demon was quiet. Surina sat down next to the bed again. "…your friends were all very worried about you…" Hiei gave a bitter chuckle.

"…Really? Don't make me laugh!" He growled, glaring at nothing in particular. Surina saw that his arms were bandaged and reached out to touch them. Hiei stiffened but, made no move to stop her. "What are you doing?"

"How did you get bitten?" Surina asked. "It looks to me as if you were in battle, Hiei." The demon nodded.

"That crazy bastard put up a damn good fight but, he got me on my neck…What a fool…sacrificing his own life in order to bite me." Hiei scoffed.

The door busted open to reveal the spirit detectives and company. They all rushed in to the room, shouting and crying.

"Good to see you're okay, Hiei!" Yuske grabbed him in a head lock/hug. Surina tapped his shoulder. "Huh?" The ex-spirit detective looked at her.

"I know you're very happy to see Hiei but, you're choking him." The girl stated. Yuske quickly let go of a glaring Hiei. Kurama and Kuwabara walked next to the bed.

"See Kurama? I told you he was faking!" The tall boy yelled. Kurama shook his head.

"I'm glad you're all right," the fox demon said grinning. Hiei looked to Botan, Keiko, and Yukina to see that the all had tears in their eyes.

"Waaaaaah! Hiei everyone was so worried about you!" Botan cried, shaking poor Hiei back and forth wildly. Yukina and Keiko watched helplessly.

Surina tapped Botan but, was ignored.

"Botan…Botan?" growing angry, Surina raised her voice. "BOTAN, GET OFF HIM!" This startled everyone. Botan cowered behind Keiko. Hiei had dizzy eyes but, recovered when his stomach growled very loud. Yuske and Kuwabara laughed.

"What do you want to eat, Hiei?" Surina asked.

"…Ramen." He stated quite bluntly. Surina ran to the kitchen and started to cook when Koenma came in.

"…Thank you for taking care of him. You've done a good job. That's why…I'm assigning you to watch over him," The prince declared.

"Is that why there are two beds?" Surina asked calmly. Koenma nodded and continued to tell her that the job was not that hard. Eventually, Surina agreed. End of Chapter One
