| Hiei was introduced as a baby by Bikini Bottom Bandits when they found him at the edge of the Underground. [[Bangton]] or known as [[DJ Dinglehopper]], was the leader of the bandits and took care of the child whom he realized that could bring the bandits into successfully killing [[Sheldon J. Plankton|Plankton]]. Hiei didn't listen cuz he stupid and killed everyone in the tribe besides Bangton he fled leaving Hiei all on his own to practice becoming a true hero. | | Hiei was ditched to an other section of Ohio where he was basically almost died because he didn't have any food as a baby. Luckily, he brought in by a band of bandits that raided richer Ohio citizens but when raising Hiei, he became more stronger than them when he grew up from a babeh to a kid. He killed off many demons that intervened in their ways as the bandits became strong enough to form their own clan inside of Ohio. Hiei never wanted to be in the clan and realized their just using him for their own personal gain so he killed off each clan member in their sleep. He later worked as a castle guard but burned the whole castle down once he got his pay cut, very petty of you Hiei. |
| He later was classified as a A+ Demon in the underground, yet this is only mentioned as later he gets a Jaganshi Eye transplant from [[Dr. Robotnik]]. The surgery was gruesome and painful '''AS FUCK''', the surgery was an sucsess as his Jaganshi eye made his ability to sense and look far for like for fucking Roku remotes. Dr. Robotnik also got almost all of Hiei's energy in the surgery to use it on himself and his robots to cause even more chaos after leaving the Demon Realm.
| |
| After the transplant, Hiei would travel to the Ice Maiden Village to seek revenge but didn't realize that the Ice Maidens were already suffering and Hiei would almost kill one of them but walked away, this is also the first time he would hear about Yukina as Hiei heard from the tribe that she was the most perfect girl and didn't do anything wrong but she ran away from the tribe in search for her brother and to flee from the abuse she got. Hiei would then travel up to the surface in return
| |
| | |
| ==== Rescue Yukina Arc ====
| |
| Hiei would stop by at a temple inside the city where he would see a floating dog by the name of [[Talking Ben]], Ben informed him of Yukina's dissaperence of his old cohort [[Ren Höek]] kidnapping her for his collection and would also tell Hiei that she is indeed his sister. Hiei goes all mad on Ben saying that its a lie to make him more interested on finding her but Ben gives him proof as Hiei sits down and accepts the truth but he needs allies even though he's fucking alone all the time. These allies would be no other than..........................

| [[File:SANDANDPAPPYRUSSAUNCE.png|center|thumb|553x553px|SANS URAMESHI AND KAZUMA PAPYRUS!!!!!]]
| |
| Hiei decided to team up with them because for their case on the reason they joined was because they were bored and overheard the consveration. Hiei grabbed his sword and settled on Ren's coordinates to find her. Ren's Home was filled with explosives everywhere and no one could get in but then Hiei saw a mysterious guy he never seen before called [[𝓓𝓪𝓯𝓯𝔂|Dan]] and his gang with Bugs Bunny to rescue a girl for the money and apparently Talking Ben used both sides just to use Yukina as a decoy just to piss of Ren. This acknowledgement made Hiei pissed but Sans reassured him that he just wanted Yukina to be safe with both sides helping her so they went to the opposite direction where some of his minions attacked them but Sans protected both of them from an actual threat of devils controlled by Ren which made Hiei even question his strength.
| |
| | |
| They first arrived to find Yukina crying and sobbing so they grabbed her and fled from the windows but no one got hurt. Yukina kept asking questions on why they saved her but Hiei just told her that he was just feeling nice today and fled fast without telling her leaving Sans and Papyrus running around in circles on what to do with her before deciding to keep her incase some outsiders try to kill her. Hiei decided to stay in Earth(Venus actually) to have more fun than his old underground world but deciding to be a lone wolf for now.

| | |
| ==== Snowdin Incident ====
| |
| Hiei would finally train and have a phone which he apparently never had in the underground except those cheap ass phones that only has Candy Crush on it but anyways he would usually spend at his new den rage baiting on Reddit and being a fucking nuisance over there until he forgot to check on Yukina at Snowdin so he hurried up and went there but instead he went to the other route where the Honeydew Resort is for pussies. He went there but everyone was creeped out because he was assumed as a human not with a fellow local which makes the whole half of Snowdin in emergency mode so Hiei injured some guards before fleeing to a deserted place where a stand said "free feet pics" but then a giant blue bird came and rambled on before getting into a fight with Hiei to preserve her Royal Guard status.
| |
| | |
| Hiei decided to avoid all of her attacks which made her pissed off but not really as she thinks he's trying to not fight and become friends with her so she stops and gives him a big hug which Hiei cringes at before telling her that he'll need her to go to the other side of Snowdin or die with his bare hand but [[Martlet]](she told him her name)ignored the other part and took him into a boat which takes to the other side of Snowdin but as soon as she releases the boat it goes the opposite way fast and does a stereotypical roller coaster scene before both of them failing off to both sides where they can't see each other due to unbreakable rocks so Hiei decides to rest up at the cave ignoring Martlet as a whole when his brain tells him not to worry about her.

| ==== Meme Saga Sisterhood(In Development) ====
| |
| After fleeeing with Martlet, the boat crashed and he went unconscious but was saved in a town where Kurama was at which he was trying to sacrifice himself in order to save his mom which Hiei prevented. The two became instant friends but also stolen things from Ren which led Ren to hate them and target them. Hiei then recruited Duster and Dust for allies but they were still hunted by Ren as they fled everywhere until the news were debunked so they continued doing their own buissness. Hiei then vandalized Spirit World and set his eyes on the Ohio Tournament but Dust left so he met Martlet again and recruited her to be the fourth member. He later found out about Izumi's ties to Mr. Bean and she told him many stuff about it. Hiei then went on the Ohio Tournament and dominated it but losing to Wario in the semi-finals while being in a rivalry with many fighters, mainly Greed.
| |
| | |
| He then went back to Demon World went everyone separated but L recruited him again to go to the Surface to help him jail the Black Black Club society which was plaguing everywhere but L had no stuff to back it up so Hiei, Martlet, and Yukina went on wacky-subplots, including Hisoka stealing Yukina's panties which led Hiei battling Hisoka. He then found out about King Asgore's doings and assassinated the entirely of the Black Black Club while confronting Asgore but Asgore went into a portal into a different dimension to avoid being caught since that was the Black Black Club's main funding besides capturing demons and funding extremist activity. L then deemed Hiei to join in more but he refused while forcing Yukina and Martlet to get away. He then met up with Kurama and Duster while destroying Ren's groups but Hiei met Dante and then Sensui, two big threats that Hiei hated, Sensui even tried recruiting Hiei to join him but Hiei refused leading Sensui to brutally beat him up and almost killed him but Hiei lived on by running too fast. For Dante, Hiei knew she was exploiting others by tormenting them and considered using Yukina as a new vessel which Hiei stopped from happening. He later had PTSD, too many fights, and went into a portal to the Gate of Truth with Envy, whom Hiei hates. Basically, they'll see a preview of true reality A.K.A. Mort's reality but then God A.K.A. Yahweh A.K.A. Mort's subconsciousness removes their memories and banishes them back to fiction.
| |
| | |
| Hiei then goes back into the Demon World but Yukina and him fight before as she makes counter arguments that Hiei risked her life more than saving her which Kurama had to stop Hiei from attacking her because she made everything that she said actually right and that hurted Hiei. Hiei became a skilled assassin as one day he would become emperor of the Demon World but had no support if he ever wanted to.

| | He grew bored of the Demon World, especially after learning Fire type magic after training himself for years about and burned himself a lot to tolerate pain. He later found out by rumors about the lost child of the Koorime Tribe and he quickly remembered that he was the one so he wanted revenge. He forced people to give him directions and went there only to see the most miserable place ever seen. Literally they were all suffering and there was no hope for them so Hiei pitied them but forced them to give him information. Rui was his mother's BFF and she said that she was the very one who threw him off and begged for him to kill her but Hiei didn't because he wanted her to stay and live in misery. She also said that he has a twin sister named Yukina but she fled somewhere and was never to be seen again. Hiei assumed that she went into the Surface due to no reports of her race in the mainland. |

| He gets Shoko as a girlfriend and protects the Ishval people. He also does way more stuff.

Many rich demons went into the surface but Hiei was the only few to bring out right force into the entry. There he was very confused on the surface world until [[Dr. Robotnik]] found him suffering in the forest when Hiei drank milk so he brought him in for "help". Dr. Robotnik wanted to test the Jagan Eye transplant on someone so he used Hiei as a test dummy to do it and Hiei wanted more power so he accepted. It was painful but was very successful as Hiei got the Jagan Eye but had his powers decreased so he fled from the Doctor and went training to recover his strength. |

Development
Hiei was a planned character in the Neo Scary Godmother Wiki as one of the night guards for the castle to serve under King Tommy and was the right-hand man to Squalo however the main writers forgot about Hiei entirely leading to him never getting a page. Years Later in 2024, Barf Bag would watch YYH and would try to create a page for him but he had no ideas but did it anyways.
