Asiya lays snuggled up on her couch hypnotized by the flames dancing in the fireplace. The argument she had with her best friend earlier in the day begins to play in her mind.
"Asiya, Ka'imi told me that you threw yourself at him again last night at Mia's party when I left! Why do you keep trying to get at my boyfriend!? Can't you get your own mand?" Arani accuses.
"What!? Girl please!! I can't stand your boyfriend and I sure in the hell did not throw myself at him last night or any other night that he claims I did. I've never been attracted to him and I can't believe you are accusing me of this shit again!! I'm so sick of these ridiculous accusations! WTF is wrong with you Arani?! Instead of coming at me foul, why don't you question your boy on his obsession with me! Don't you think it is strange that ever since you hooked up with him that's all he seems to do is talk about me!? You're an idiot for believing him and I'M NOT DOING THIS WITH YOU AGAIN!!! IF YOU WANT TO BELIEVE HIM FINE I CAN CARE LESS I'M DONE!!!" Asiya fires back furiously. She turns her back on Arani and begins to walk away from her.
Arani glares at the back of Asiya's head and then grabs her by her shoulder and flips her around, slapping her across the face. Stunned by the sudden hit, Asiya absentmindedly rubs her throbbing cheek.
"LIAR! Ka'imi told me you would say that. You never wanted me to be with him. You're nothing but a jealous BITCH! And I'm going to KILL YOU once and for all!" Arani screams and pulls a dagger from behind her back. She lunges at Asiya and with lightning speed, Asiya dodges her attack and throws her over her shoulder.
"Arani! What the hell has gotten into you?! Have you lost your fuckin mind?!" Asiya screams.
She blocks Arani's second attack and sweeps her leg; knocking her to the ground.
Arani attacks a third time and almost slices Asiya's throat; Asiya side steps her and hits her in the back of her head with her fists.
Arani. Arani falls to the floor once more. At her wits end, Asiya's eyes glaze over and she mumbles some words; vines reach up from the ground and wrap themselves around Arani. Fear blankets over Arani's face.
"What is this!" She screeches.
Asiya looks down at her best friend with tears welling in her eyes....Oh Arani I know I should kill you but I don't have the heart to do it. Why has it come to this... Asiya thinks to herself and then turns and runs off.
A loud crash from her bedroom abruptly pulls her out of her thoughts. Her neck snaps in the direction of the stairs but she sees nothing. Her heart begins to pound in her chest as she listens to her intruder hop into her bedroom window. To her dismay a few more intruders hop into her room as well. In an instant she is up from the couch and silently ascending the stairs. Asiya's heart is thundering in her chest so loudly that she begins to fear that her intruders may hear her coming because of it. She mentally calms herself down by reaching for her dagger that she usually keeps securely attached to her thigh but heart drops in her stomach when she finds it is not there.
"Shit. I left it in my room!" She curses to herself.
She tip-toes back down the stairs and into the kitchen. As soon as she has a large kitchen knife securely in her grasp, she soundlessly walks back up the stairs and settles in the shadow of her bedroom door. She peers into her room as three boys place the body of a third boy on her bed.
"We will stay here tonight and leave in the morning.I didn't sense the presence of anyone in this house so I think it is safe to say that it is empty. Hiei see if you can find the bathroom and get some bandages. We have to bandage Kuwabara up." One of the boys says.
The boy named Hiei walks toward the door. Asiya disappears around the corner and watches the boy named Hiei walk out of her room and into the bathroom she places a hand over her mouth to hold back the gasp that wanted to come out. ...Oh my god! No fucking way!! It's him... How did he find me?... She thinks to herself.
That boy who's face she would never forget. She was with her friends at a house party and that was the one night where she got so drunk that she slept with some guy. Something she never did. That night was the first and last one night stand she ever had. When they had woken up the next morning he was such a fuckin prick. He made her feel so worthless that she would never forget that night as much as she had tried. ...What the hell am I talking about! Of course he didn't find u stupid! U never told him where u lived... She shakes her head at her own absurdity....I can't believe he is here. Of all the people to break into my house it has to be him! But who the hell are those guys that he is with? And what the hell are they doing here... She thinks to herself.
She watches him silently as he flicks on the light and searches her bathroom for bandages. Once he finds them, he walks back out of the bathroom and back into her bedroom. He hands the bandages to the boy sitting next to her bed and then sits on one of her end tables.
Pushing her thoughts back about that night, Asiya kicks open her door and grabs the boy nearest to her. She pushes the blade to his throat. Despite the fact that he is over a foot taller than her she holds him securely with his body pulled far back. He has long red hair and a very muscular build. The other two boys rush her but stop in their tracks as she pulls her hostage closer to her.
"Don't he will be dead before you reach me. What are you doing in my house?" She demands icily.
The boy nearest to her bed motions for the boy named Hiei to stand down. He obeys.
"We were just in a fierce battle and our friend got injured. We came to the first place we could find to tend to his wounds" The boy answers.
Asiya scans his body from head to toe. He has black slicked back hair, brown eyes, and is also more than a foot taller than Asiya as well. He is wearing a leather coat, with a white tee underneath, dark blue jeans, and some airforce nikes.
"Please we just need to stay here tonight and we will be gone in the morning. We will not harm you." He implores.
Asiya stares at him intently, deciding if she will allow him and his friends to stay. Her hostage lets out a small whimper as the blade begins to slice into his neck but she does not loosen her grip on him. A small drop of blood begins to drip down the boy's neck. The scent of his blood pulls her attention away from the boy who was talking to her. His blood is so toxicating to her that she almost forgets the situation she is in. She closes her eyes and absentmindedly moves her head closer to his neck. This almost causes her hostage to loose his balance and fall over but to prevent this she gets on her tip toes. She inhales his blood deeply and an insatiable need to sink her teeth into his neck begins to grow inside of her. Inspite of herself she roughly pushes the boy to the floor. He falls to the ground and begins to rub his neck. He turns on her and his emerald orbs darken as he glares at her grudgingly.
"Fine but you leave in the morning." She says coldy not even acknowledging the looks she is getting from the boy on the floor.
She walks out of the room but stops as her eyes meet with the boy who is called Hiei. His black spiky hair and cold red eyes remind her of that night. She can feel her anger begin to stir inside of her. ...Fuckin asshole of course he wouldn't remember... She growls in her head. ...Still the same prick he was back then... She thinks to herself grudgingly. She sees a flicker of something in his eyes but it goes away just as quickly as it came.
"What are you looking at?" She challenges.
He rises from his seat and walks toward her but the boy with the slicked black hair places his hand on his chest to stop him.
"No Hiei don't." He says. Hiei snorts at his companion and turns away from him, sitting back in his seat.
"Hiei?" ...As much of a prick that he is Damn he still looks good... She thinks to herself. "What kind of name is Hiei? Your parents must of had a good sense of humor." Asiya says trying to pick a fight.
Hiei gets up once more but the boy with the slicked black hair gives him a look that makes him stop in his tracks. Hiei snorts at Asiya and returns to his seat once again. His eyes flash at her dangerously and she winks at him in response. She glances over at the boy laying on her bed and notices the puddle of red underneath him. She inwardly sighs.
"What is your name? She asks the boy with the slicked back hair.
"Yusuke. What's yours?" He answers.
"Asiya." She answers. "What is wrong with him?" She asks.
Hiei answers her. "He is hurt on'na. You aren't very smart are you?" He hisses at her.
Asiya glares at him. "I meant where is he hurt baka!" She counters angrily.
He smirks at her cheekily. She walks toward Hiei and Yusuke gets in her path. She steps back slightly very aware of how much taller he is of her.
"He is cut deeply in his side." He answers looking down at her.
Asiya's eyes flash dangerously at Hiei and his smirk widens mockingly. He winks at her from behind Yusuke's back. Asiya begins to tremble as rage fills inside of her. With great effort on her part, she turns away from Hiei and goes to the side of the boy laying on the bed. She reaches into her nightstand by the bed and pulls out a dagger. She raises the dagger above the unconscious boy and Yusuke grabs her wrist.
"What are you doing?" He challenges.
"Don't I'm trying to help. He is dying." She says simply. Yusuke lets go of her wrist and she cuts open the side of the unconscious boys shirt. Asiya winces at the sight of his wound, the cut is so deep that you can see his rib cage. She reaches for one of the bandages and begins to clean his wound.
"What is his name?" She asks trying to take her mind off of how disgusting this boys wound is.
"Kuwabara." He answers her.
"And his name?" She asks motioning to her hostage earlier.
"Kurama." He answers simply.
She glances at the two other boys in the room and both of them are glaring daggers at her. She smirks haughtily at their glares and continues cleaning the unconscious boy's wounds. Tears begin to stream uncontrollably down her cheeks and she reaches for a bandage and soaks it with her tears. She places the saturated cloth on Kuwabara's side and tapes it up. She stands up and looks down at the cloth; immediately the boy's blood begins to saturate the cloth. The cloth begins to glow and the blood slowly disappears, as if it was returning into the boy's body! Yusuke, Hiei, and Kurama stand there in awe as the blood that was under the boy's body slowly disappears from the bed.
Kuwabara's eyes shoot open and he grabs Asiya by her throat and lifts her into the air.
"I'm trying to help." She says in a strangled tone.
She attempts to rip his hand from her neck but he has an iron grip on her neck. With confusion written all over his face, he lets her go. She falls on her butt with a loud thud.
"What that hell happened? Where are the demons? Where am I? The last thing I remember is fighting that demon and him slicing me in my side and then everything went black. And now I open my eyes and I'm here in this house and she is standing over me. Who is she?" Kuwabara says.
Not waiting for anyone to answer, Asiya scrambles to her feet and hurries out of the room. Once down the stairs, she sits back in front of her fireplace. She watches the flames while listening to the boys upstairs explain to Kuwabara what happened.
"We retreated from the demons as soon as we seen you hit the ground . We brought you here to tend to your wounds. That girl that was standing over you, this is her house and she just saved your life by healing you." Kurama answers him.
Kuwabara looks down at his bandage. "Damn she did a good ass job. How did she do it? I'm completely healed. I don't feel any pain or anything." He states impressed.
"With her tears." Kurama answers simply as if it is perfectly normal for a person to heal another person with their tears.
A stunned silence comes over Kuwabara. "Then that would make her a Water Demon wouldn't it? Does Koenma know she is here?" He asks.
"Hey Baka. Think about it, if Koenma knew she was here we would've known to. " Hiei grunts. ...Asiya. Hn. So that was that girls name from that one night. And this is her house. Wow who would of thought we would accidently stumble upon her spot. I should of been a little nicer the next morning cuz damn she was a freak. I wouldn't of minded to keep her around... He smiles to himself.
How could he forget those violet eyes. He remembers that night very clearly. He had watched her the whole night and noticed how she turned down every boy's advancement in that place but him. He was almost intimidated but he approached her anyway and she accepted his advancements and took it to the next level. But he knew from when he first saw her that she would be his at the end of the night. He had to admit she was one of his best conquests.
"Oh yea your right." Kuwabara says pulling Hiei out of his thoughts.
"Of course I'm right." Hiei barks back.
"Well now that we have all agreed that she is a demon, why don't we go downstairs and ask her how long she has been here." Kurama interjects.
The four of them head downstairs. Asiya makes no attempt to acknowledge their presence in the living room, she just continues staring into the flames in her fireplace. They come up behind her.
"Are you hungry?" She asks.
None of them respond. "Yea actually I am." Kuwabara answers. Yusuke, Hiei, and Kurama's eyes flash at him angrily.
"What?! I'm starving!" Kuwabara whines.
"Sit down I'll make something to eat for you." She says getting up from her seat and heads into the kitchen.
Once the food is done, she comes out of the kitchen with a big tray and places it in front of the boys on the coffee table. They all look at the food, wearily. A knowing smirk spreads across Asiya's face.
"Please help yourself. I didn't poison your food or anything. If I wanted you all dead you would be." She says simply. Still no one reaches for the food.
"Look fellas I offered you something to eat cuz I know you probably have some questions for me. I always find it easier to answer questions after my guests have eaten." She says warmly and seats herself on a reclining chair close to her fireplace.
Yusuke, Hiei, and Kurama glance at each other with puzzled looks on their faces but Kuwabara is the only one who shrugs his shoulders and dives into the food. The others begin to eat after Kuwabara begins to serve himself seconds. Asiya becomes entranced by the flames once again and flashes of the night that her family was murdered swirl in her mind. Tears begin to well in her eyes as the painful memory starts to play out in her mind's eye.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" A voice interrupts her her thoughts.
She looks up at the owner of the voice and it is Hiei. ...I'm really starting to hate him... She thinks to herself and then wipes her eyes quickly. "Nothing. Why are you watching me anyway?" She snaps at him.
He turns slightly pink. "I wasn't watching you on'na Kurama asked if you had something to drink and you just sat there in a daze." Hiei snips back.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Asiya says jumping to her feet. Her sudden movement causes the boys to almost rise to their feet. "What would you like to drink?" She asks.
They all spit out different requests and Asiya disappears into the kitchen and comes back out with a tray of drinks. She once again returns to her seat and stares into the fire. Her thoughts begin to swirl again.
"How did you heal Kuwabara with your tears?" Another voice asks interrupting her thoughts.
She looks over at Yusuke. "I don't know I've always been able to do that. I can do a lot of things. I don't know how but I just can why do you ask?" She asks.
Yusuke opens his mouth to answer her but a small growl catches her ears. Her head snaps in the direction the growl is coming from and she gets out of her seat.
"What is wrong?" Yusuke asks sensing the alarm in her stance.
"Can't you hear that?" She asks no looking at him.
"I can." Kurama says getting up from his seat.
