A/N:
I bring to you this brand new fanfiction written completely in Hiei's point of view. Something I have yet to do!
I thought of this idea a few months ago and the other night I couldn't fall asleep because I kept thinking about the plot. Terrible, I know. -.-;
So, I'm finally putting it down and posting it for you guys! Mind you, it won't be very long. Only a few chapters. Maybe four at the most. I dunno. We'll see! :)
Hiei, love, they're all yours!

Chapter 1: Nothing as it seems
I leapt over wooden fence after wooden fence, putting as much distance as I could between myself and my latest enemy. They'd stopped following me quite a few miles back, but I still wanted to find somewhere I felt safe.
The layout in Ningenkai is strange, although their fences didn't allow for watching eyes. That was nice for my situation.
Ahead of me, I saw a house that seemed to be abandoned. Perfect.
I winced as the wound in my side throbbed, sending a fresh trickle of blood down my side.
Jumping over the fence to the abandoned home, I stopped immediately in my tracks.
It wasn't abandoned at all. The enclosed backyard was made up of a very well tended-to garden that even Kurama would be proud of.
Sitting on a wooden porch, tending to some small flowers was a woman. I thought it was odd that she didn't look up at my sudden presence.
That's when I noticed her movements. How she didn't look at her hands as she shoveled away the dirt before planting a flower.
She was blind.
Good, I thought as I collapsed into unconsciousness on the grass.

Rather than waking up to the stars, I was in a dark room lit by a few candles.
I tried to move, but pain shot through my wound and forced me back down.
I grunted lightly from the exertion. Putting a hand to my wound, I found that it was freshly dressed.
"So, you're awake, then?" A female voice sounded to my right.
I looked over and the blind woman sat next to me.
I narrowed my eyes, "How did you – "
"Get you in here?" she finished with a smirk. "Some things are better left unsaid."
My eyes narrowed further when she chuckled.
"I see. You think that because I'm a blind human, that I'm naïve and couldn't possibly possess any kind of spiritual awareness. I am correct, am I not?"
My eyes widened.
"Judging by your silence, I'd say you know a human or two with considerable spirit power," she grinned, "What's your name, child?"
"Hn. I'm no child." I narrowed my eyes at her again.
She chuckled, "Sure, sure. What is your name, young demon?"
I looked away from her, How could she know so much while being blind and without telling her anything? These thoughts troubled me.
"Hiei." I answered shortly.
"Hiei…" she murmured, "Well, my little pyro, I suggest you get some rest. You'll need it if you want that wound to heal correctly without scarring." She blew out one of the candles.
I started to get up, ignoring the pain this time, "I'm fine. I'm not going to burden you by staying here."
Her hand came down strong against my shoulder and pushed me back down, "You'll be doing no such thing. You will not go out into the world wounded. Not on my watch. You're no burden; I'm a doctor. Besides, I haven't had a patient in a good while." She winked and blew out the rest of the candles.
I heard her open the door and I called out for her to wait.
"Yes?" she didn't turn around.
"How is it that you know so much? Just out of curiosity." I couldn't help it. The question was burning a hole in my mind.
"I haven't always been blind, honey." She said with humor in her voice.
My eyebrows furrowed, "What is your name?" I asked quietly.
She turned and she seemed to be looking straight through me and into my very soul. I squirmed slightly at the thought.
She smiled, "Cera."
