Late afternoon. The child was almost there. Just a few more seconds of flitting and he was there, ready for one of the most painful tortures ever imagined. He didn't care about the pain it would bring though. All that was important for him was to fulfill all that he desired in life and finally leave this world in peace.

He stopped. This was it. In the middle of the forest was the house of the youkai who would be able to give him the torture he desired. To give him his added eye - the jagan.

The boy looked around. Was he really making the right decision? This could cause him his life if his will wasn't strong enough. Should he push through?

He sighed. This was it. No turning back. He then took slow steps towards the door of the house and knocked.

A tall man came out of the shack. He had long black hair tied in a ponytail. His eyes were small and he had lots of body piercings on his face and on his body. There was a huge scar on his face, sown with a strong Makai thread. This youkai...looked so strange. He had never seen any other being like him before. He had a humanoid shape like him, a dark expression on his scarred face as he glared at the child. The man looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

"What the hell do you want, kid?" the man snarled. He didn't like being disturbed by a nobody.

The boy just glared defiantly. "I want a jagan."

The man almost laughed but just smirked at the young youkai. "A jagan? Why would you want one?"

The boy snorted. "You don't need to know. I'll be able to pay you, you know."

"Of course I need to know, little baka!" the man said, unamused. "You see there is this thing called patient-doctor relationship and I just don't do anything to anyone that I don't know."

The boy folded his arms defiantly. "Why should I?"

"Because I'm the only one who can give you a jagan and therefore, you must tell me."

"Fine." the boy snarled.

"Hm. Okay then." the man said, smirking once again. "By the way, I'm Shigure."

The boy looked at the man suspiciously. He didn't trust him. He looked at the man's smirking face once again and raised an eyebrow. He snorted and finally told his name. "Hiei."

Shigure grinned as he opened the door wider for Hiei to pass through. "Fine, let's go in."

Hiei followed Shigure inside, still suspicious. It was time now - time for torture.
