And, of course, I do not own Hiei. I own my character and the so-called 'plot'. Just to make everything clear.
She was that type of girl that you knew you'll always love since the first time you saw her. She was pretty, ladylike, delicate and quiet. She was short however. So short that she was barely up to his chin; and they called him shrimp... Of course, being so little was only part of her charm. and her eyes... Her golden eyes... You could simply lose yourself in them.
He was intriguing. He just stood there, leaning against wall, staring at her. She smiled. She didn't know what else to do.
The first thing she did after reaching the temple was to bake cupcakes. She liked that. Oh, and he liked it too. They tasted heavenly. That was the first time he heard her laugh. And it was just as pretty as she was.
After being able to suppress the lustful thoughts, he actually became friends with her. He enjoyed her company, just as she did his. They used to hang out in the forest, sharing a tree and a pack of cigarettes. They opened up to each other more and more. He cared for her.
That time when she was kidnapped, he would have done anything just to get her back safe. And he was happy when he succeeded. Then he went to get her mother back. He knew he wouldn't see her after that, but he wanted her to have her mother back.
Thinking back, maybe he actually did love her from the start. Maybe he just didn't want to admit it.
