"Breaking & Entering"

Something's missing, Hiei. You know it, said a voice inside the short fire demon's

head.

Nothing is missing," Hiei said to himself through gritted teeth. "I'm fine alone. As long as I protect Yukina, everything is fine."

Then why are you questioning yourself? The voice nagged.

"I'M FINE!" Hiei said loudly, scaring the few birds that had been sitting in the tree nearby.

For the past couple of days, Hiei felt like something was missing from his life, something that he should be looking for. He had never felt this way before. These walls he had set up to protect himself from sadness and lonliness were beginning to crumble. Only he didn't know why.

Hiei thought of his disturbing past. Being a 'Forbidden Child' had made him what he was today. Or what everyone that he was today.

It hurt. He would never admit it out loud but it hurt. All his friends saw was that wall he had always hidden behind. Nobody knew what was behind that wall. They didn't really know that there was a wall.

The only person who could truly understand him was Yukina. If she knew him for who he truly was--her brother. But even her understanding could only go so far. She hadn't been shunned from the Koorime. She hadn't been through everything he had.

For a moment, Hiei almost felt jealous of his little sister. Wait, he thought to himself. He stood up and shook himself before heading deeper into the forest.

He still had that feeling that he was missing something. But what? Yukina was fine, the ice tear gem was still around his neck, his third eye was still in contact. So what was bothering him? He began to run faster.

What was Hiei running from?

Kind of short, I know. But my friend (you may know her as Kitsune Fan Rain on here)

has been hounding me and torturing me to put something on here. I hope you like it. Please review. Comments, suggestions, and even insults are accepted.
