Yeah, this story is gonna be an AU story.
Hiei: And does it involve me?
Will you quit asking that?!
Hiei: Hell no.
Shit. Well... read...
Hiei: Wait, wait, wait. You said you'd give out the full summary in the AN. Where is the summary?
You can read that and not read the anime it's taking place in?!
Hiei: ... Yeah.
OK, summary.
Yukina-
Hiei: Oh man...
Let me finish!
Yukina and Hiei are royalty. Prince Hiei is the over-protective big brother, Princess Yukina is the sweet little sister. Kurama and Hinageshi... are peasants. But when the father, The King, makes Hiei and Yukina wed, what'll they do when they already found love, and their lovers aren't royalty?
A girl with long, light blue hair was sitting on her large bed. She was watching all the birds land on the windowsill, thinking.
"Lady Yukina, dinner is ready," a servant said in a monotone voice. She snapped out of her thoughts and smiled warmly at him.
"Thank you. I'll be out in a minute," she said. He merely nodded and left. She stood up and left her room.
"I wonder what it's like out there," she thought.
"Hello Yukina," a manly voice said form behind her. She turned and smiled.
"Hi Hiei," she said.
"You seem deep in thought," Hiei commented. Despite their parents' warnings, Hiei had formed his hair up, making it look gravity defying. It was naturally black with a touch of blue and white, so they let that be.
"I am. Have you ever wondered what it's like being a commoner?" she asked.
"Yes, but of course, Father always has to make me forget about my thoughts," he said bitterly. She sighed. The elder twin and their father always disagreed on everything. They had reached the dining room in their castle-like home.
"It's so nice of you to join us, Hiei," a man said annoyed. Hiei sighed angrily, making sure he didn't go off on him.
"I know," he replied.
"Hiei, Kenji, please don't argue now during dinner," a woman whom Yukina looked liked said softly, hoping that dinner wouldn't be an argument like last time. Hiei nodded, but his glare remained on his face, looking straight at Kenji.
"Dinner is served," another servant said, bringing them all utensils to eat and their food.
"Thank you Kage," Yukina said when he gave her the dinner. He smiled at her before leaving. No word was spoken during the meal, at least until the cook had came out of the kitchen to see if the food was good.
"It was wonderful. Thank you, Kina," the woman said, smiling. She sighed with relief and nodded her head thanks. She left.
"Well, that was an excellent meal, right?" the woman asked everyone. They all nodded their head in agreement. Yukina and Hiei stood.
"I'm going to bed," Yukina said. "Good night, Mother and Father." They nodded and watched her leave.
"And you boy, go to bed," Kenji said. Hiei left.
"Kenji, you shouldn't be so harsh on Hiei. After all, he does take after you," the woman said.
"I know Hina, but he can make me so mad at times," Kenji said. Hina sighed.
"Well, we should retire soon also," Hina said. Kenji nodded in agreement and they stood up, leaving the dining room.
The next morning...
Hiei was always the first to wake in the morning. He sat up and shook his head to wake him up a bit more. He stood up and he looked out the window.
"What is it like to be a commoner?" he thought. He scoffed.
"Probably better than royalty," he answered himself.
"What's probably better than royalty, Prince Hiei?" a voice asked shyly. He turned.
"Jewel, being a commoner probably is," he replied.
"Oh no sir. Being a commoner, or peasant, how the King puts it- Don't say anything that Dad says. He's always wrong," Hiei said, cutting off the small girl.
"Yes sir," she said, hanging her head.
"And remember, call me Hiei," Hiei said playfully. Jewel was always his favorite 'servant', though he never said it. She smiled.
"Yes Hiei." She left with a smile. Hiei always treated her with respect, never asking to do this or that, unless it had something to do with his father or his name. He didn't like being called 'Prince Hiei.' He wanted to be called what his given name was; Hiei.
"I hope she hangs tough," he said suddenly.
"WHY ARE YOU SMILING?! DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING I DON'T?!" Kenji yelled angrily. Hiei growled and ran out. Jewel was on the floor, holding her side and trying to hold back tears. There was a pool of blood underneath her.
"Hey! Leave her alone!" Hiei yelled, kneeling down, trying to help Jewel up.
"Hiei, I knew it had something to do with you," Kenji said, his dark blue eyes glaring at him.
"Then why are you taking your anger out on someone who's innocent?" Hiei asked calmly, though he was furious.
"Because I'm older and have more respect than a servant!" Kenji roared. Hiei growled and picked Jewel up. Her side was bleeding badly and the gash was long and deep. Hiei ran away from the sight.
"Keep hanging onto life, Jewel. You can't leave," Hiei said. Jewel slowly opened her eyes and smiled sadly at him.
"I'm sorry Hiei, but I know I won't make it," she said before wincing from the pain.
"No! Don't say that! You will," he said, but she couldn't agree.
"What happened?" a servant asked frantically, coming out of a room.
"Take Jewel and try to heal her wound," Hiei said. He nodded and took the small child, running away.
"Hiei, what happened?" Hina asked. Hiei growled.
"Ask Dad." He left. Hina could see that his face was wet with tears.
"Kenji!" Hina yelled. She never got angry at anything, but Jewel was only a child that Hiei had treated like one of the family.
"Yes Hina?" Kenji said, his shirt a little bloody. A slap was heard. Hina had slapped him across the face.
"How could you do that to a child?!" she shouted.
"Hiei, what happened?" Yukina asked, rubbing her eyes as she walked into her twin's room. Hiei was sitting in the windowsill, looking out.
"Something bad," he answered softly and sadly. She sat on his bed and looked at him.
"Hiei, please tell me what happened," she pleaded.
"Jewel..." When he said that, Yukina knew instantly that something had happened to her and Hiei's best friend.
"She was hurt badly, wasn't she?" Hiei slowly nodded. He stood up and left the room, leaving Yukina silently crying. But she knew he was crying by the way his face was wet.
"Can I come in?" Hiei asked when he found the room Jewel was in.
"Let him in," a voice said. The door flew open and he walked in. Jewel was laying on the floor. The blood was seeping right through the bandages.
"Hiei, she's going to die," the elderly woman said before leaving. Hiei knelt down and growled, tears prickling his eyes.
"How can that man do something to someone so innocent?" he asked himself. He could feel the tears run down his face and he didn't care. Jewel wasn't breathing anymore and she was dead.
"Who's gonna be my best friend since I'm not allowed out of the castle?" Hiei asked himself. Hina and Yukina had came in and tried to cheer him up. But now, he was hollow. He only had anger and hate inside himself and they both could sense it. They didn't leave him until he finally left the room. Now, he's not going to be enthusiastic, not without her.
And he could only blame his father, the king.
