LOVE HAVEN

No tears were shed when Genkai ceased and naturally left the world of living. She knew exactly what she was talking about when she gave us the instructions about the future destiny of her temple. Wisely and sensibly, she evaluated her power and life energy reserves and with respect to the results, she prompted Yukina to set on a journey off her dwelling. Yukina understood, as she later told us, and left without reasonless questions or sorrows. Finally, conserving all her dignity and erudition and with the feeling of satisfaction and significance in life of a few beings, she died. Her funeral glistened with simplicity and the reflection of this gleam moltened into the form of our memories. No attempts to pronounce an oral obituary of her life was necessary. She has never lost her identity, she has just transfered to another world and then to the infinity. All we did was to wish her all the best there.

As the terms in Makai were relatively peaceful, the temple and its surroundings didn't meet any usage for a long time. However, this period came to its end when two souls, by this time having met, having run parallely on the same road of happening, having departed and having collided again, realized their true hidden feelings. After Hiei had come to Genkai's to turn back Yukina's Hiruseki to her owner, he stopped to visit me. Soaked to his skin. Heavy drops of rain spoiled the dryness of his clothing and his mood. I just couldn't help laughing at his appearance. An angry one but cute at the same time. I quickly grabbed a towel from the bathroom and returned to my room where he had been waiting. Oh, I forgot to say that he actually had entered the house by stepping over the door sill. It's not like he would come through the window on other occasion. But he knocked the door and patiently waited till I opened it. I would expect him yelling his loungs out in the front yard to let him (the hell) into the house. One way or the other, I happened to be alone in the house, studying and taking care of my plants. That care focused on the little demon. He didn't seem to care for my care that much when I had neared him.

'I will just wipe your hair, Hiei. That's all, ' I said because being his friend or no, his katana looked dangerous. Especially when he slowly lowered his hand and fisted the hilt. He relaxed and allowed me to do so, he allowed me to touch him, even though it was the fibre of the towel which was actually touching his hair. But I couldn't prevent my movements from accidental direct contact with his body. Suddenly, I dropped the towel (oh, how lucky I was being clumsy in that moment!) and both of use came down to lift it. Our hands touched, my eyes met his.

'Are you checking if the Earth's gravity works? ' he asked. My jaw dropped. He smiled.

'That's it, ' he said and without any warning, he attacked my lips and slipped his tounge into my mouth. He literally took my breath away and I had to involuntarily push him a bit away. His disappointment dissapeared when I (having taken a breath of air) embraced him and kissed him so eagerly that he lost his balance and we both fell to the floor.

Since that I have been guarding that towel as my treasure. Though my greatest treasure is my love to Hiei. Not only because of its value. But because treasures, having an enormous price, are usually objects of attacks. That's why they have to be hidden, isolated from their surroundings, unknown and safe. We both knew it would be unreal to maintain our relationship publicly. My mother, no matter how I like her, could never understand, even though I wouldn't introduce Hiei as a demon. That would unveil another secret anyway. And yes, I am aware of the fact that this time I really have to lie to her. She keeps asking me about my private life, especially my relationships with the opposite sex. And I keep persuading her that I am still single. If I were completely cruel, I could even frankly say to myself that I am no liar! She wants to enquire about my attitudes towards women, towards the opposite gender. I could just claim that I am not in love with any female, and that would be absolutely true! That's just... terrible. And if I am capable of carrying the burden of my major secret, this is no problem. I feel happiness and that heats my mother's heart. Even though she doesn't know why. I have had many opportunities to see her generosity and her strenght to bring sacrifices.

So in the company of my family and friends I didn't give out any signs. When I met Yuusuke, Kuwabara and others to have a drink or to talk for a while, I kept neutrality when the topic of discussion turned to Hiei. A bird caught in a cage can sing delightfully and sincerely, but when released, it can enjoy its freedom and ability to fly. But only in a territory where serenity is granted. And I couldn't be more thankful that Genkai's temple is now uninhabited (urgh, how morbid!). Situated in beautiful and intact nature, far away from civilization, filled with tranquility, the spot became our haven. A haven where we could get to know each other more intimately and show our emotions in physical joy.

Like our first night.
