Dreary Days and Fearful Nights

By: Keroki

A/N: Request fic ^^ Yep, a request from my friend Alaina!! Yep……..she said she REALLY wants to read a fic that isn't a yaoi fic with Hiei as one of the main characters. I've been thinking about it and after a little thought decided to write it and who to make him match up with……..this IS going to be a challenge but i'm up to it. Two personalities clash…….but if Bulma and Vegeta got together after I thought that would never happen, this could but, sadly it didn't……it would have been sort of funny though eh? I mean Vegeta and Hiei are both short and have the same hair style and Bulma and Boton both have names that start with B, aren't to short, and have blue hair. So lets see how this story unfolds. Ill try to keep the characters in character but sometimes they have to be OOC or it just wont work.

Chapter 1: Rainy days and Cloudy Nights

The rain pounded on the window frame and slowly tinkled down the broken pieces of the window glass to fall down even further to the ground some thirty feet below.

The musty smelling air of the dusty room was only lit by a single dim candle in which who's flame flickered from side to side as the cool gusts of wind blew threw the cracks broken in the walls.

A shadowed figure sat near the old window looking out at the falling rain in the cloudy night sky silently wishing it would stop, not wanting the sky to continue crying upon the earth.

A slight sigh could be heard as the figure shifted its' weight then walked away from the window approaching the dimly burning candle and looking into the dancing flame.

A flame; a flame of lost hope; a flame of lost memories. Memories of a past life; faces of lost souls that surrounded those memories; Memories to be forever lost in the never-ending eternity that hell slowly devours; The faces of unknown others that somehow had something to do with this; this hell; this life; this nightmare.

The shadowed figure gently blew on the flame it slowly flickering out into the darkness, just like life; just like pain; just like the memories.

Yuske sat looking out the window of the old school building tapping his pencil on the desk waiting for the bell to ring to signal it was time to leave.

He looked over to the clock and sighed "4:48.……..two minutes left" he said slowly tapping his pencil to the beat of the clock.

He looked back over to the clock in which the short time seemed to feel like an eternity. It was still 4:48. He looked over and saw keiko, kuabara and karama also waiting for class and school to end.

The teacher continued her lesson on how to divide algebraic expressions with exponents and square roots. Suddenly the bell began to ring.

Everyone's eyes traveled up to the clock whose hands were traveling backwards at a fast pace. Yuske took this chance and ran out of the class grabbing his bag with most of the class fallowing behind him.

He took a left down the main hall and ran outside not caring about the rain and looked over to the bus stop and ran into the waiting area. He looked over next to him and saw a women. He tapped her on the shoulder and then asked her. "Miss? Do you know what time it is?"

The women looked over to him taking the yellow hood of her rain jacket off of her head letting her blue hair sweep over her shoulders. She smiled. "Hiya Yuske!!"
