Chapter Two: Their Connection
Hiei walked outside, with no one else around placing his arm through his black jacket and gripping Getsuga in his hand. As he was walking outside he noticed a slight shimmer in the breeze.
From out of nowhere thin steel strings started wrapping around him, before they wrapped around him he vanished out of thin air.
"Lubbock-San, if you're going to test me." Hiei stated, as he landed on one of the wires. "You'll to need to do better than that."
An obscured figure appeared over him, Hiei punched forwards the sky and both of their fists collided. He looked and saw Leone landed on the wire, with a smirk on her face.
"Sorry Hiei, unlike Tatsumi we've never actually seen you in a real fight." Leone stated.
She charged at him and sent out a barrage of punches, Hiei dodged and parried away each of her attacks with no issues. Hiei focused his heard and heard the sound of a laser charging, he kicked forward aiming for Leone.
She blocked at attack, but was sent flying backwards. Hiei quickly reached for his sword and deflected a spiritual blast as it was inches from his face. He looked and saw Mine with a surprised look, while she fired that attack with her good arm.
Hiei landed on the ground, he felt someone's presence he held his hand out and he blocked some attacks.
"I see you're getting used to Incursio's invisibility, Tatsumi." Hiei said, with a smile.
Tatsumi reappeared and disengaging his Incursio Armor, he smirked at Hiei.
"How'd you know where I was?" Tatsumi asked.
"Even if you were able to hide your presence, someone like me will be able to catch you scent. Plus that Dragon's body and mind still exists, and as a hybrid I can clearly sense it." Hiei explained.
"We were wondering about that. How are you a Danger Beast Hybrid?" Lubbock asked as he undid his Teigu.
Hiei closed his eyes and opened them again, once he did his eyes turned slitted. Everyone were amazed and surprised by what they saw.
"My mother was an Yōkai, a high-class Danger Beast that was similar to the dark wolf Tsukiyomi. She had the ability to peer into the souls of people and tempt them with their greatest desires. She was able to shapeshift into a human women gaining every characteristic of a normal human being." Hiei explained. "She later transformed into a human and joined the Tsuki no Village out of curiosity."
He looked towards the distance, and a silver haired women with red eyes popped into his head. Hiei's eyes turned back to normal and he turned towards the others.
"She died protecting her half-breed son, by the very man she fell in love with." Hiei added, with a saddened expression.
Before they could respond, Hiei's stomach started growling he looked towards the forest. And gained the same look of gluttony as Akame and started running towards the forest.
"His own father." Everyone thought to themselves.
As Hiei went into the forest his eyes were showed a dark expression, in the shadows Akame was listening to their conversation. Hiei was floating inside the water dressed in swim trunks with no shirt, on the shore several giant tuna were placed on the ground.
"I've never talked to anyone like this, I guess this is what it's like to have friends." Hiei wondered.
His mind was fixated on the tragedies he went through as a kid and he remembered his mother's smiling face. Someone dove in the water and swam towards him. It was Akame dressed in a bikini, Hiei blushed as Akame swam towards him.
She pointed towards the surface, singling him to come back up. Hiei swam after her, once they reached the surface they both looked at each other.
"You sure caught a lot of tuna." Akame stated, as she looked towards the shore.
"You can learn a lot about hunting when you live in the forest." Hiei responded.
He looked at Akame's look of gluttony and smiled to himself.
"You want to help me cook them? And bring to rest for breakfast." Hiei asked.
Akame nodded in agreement, minutes later they went to shore and started cooking two of the tuna, both of them were dressed and they started eating.
"Sorry, I overheard your conversation with the others." Akame confessed as she finished her the last of the tuna.
"It's alright, I was going to tell you anyway. I mean, I knew about your past and you knew nothing about mine." Hiei responded.
"Though, I wanted you to tell me face to face." Akame confessed blushing slightly.
In the middle of the forest someone was pointed a crossbow at Akame's back. She quietly reached for her Murasame, but before she could make a move Hiei sliced the arrow in two.
"Since the eight of you have some kind of death wish, then you might as well come out right now." Hiei called out as his eyes turned slitted again.
Eight assassin dressed in tribal clothing came from the bushes. Both Akame and Hiei turned towards them and unsheathed their weapons.
"We'll get a huge reward for killing Akame the Demon Sword user. And Hiei the Lunar Demon." One of the assassin proclaimed.
"Akame, I'll take half of them and you take the others." Hiei stated as he charged at them with great speed. Akame followed with the same speed.
"Eliminate/Exterminate." Akame/Hiei said they prepared to attack.
The assassins dispersed into the air, the four Hiei was fighting held several thin needles in between their fingers. With great precision they threw them all at him. With great reflexes he dodged each of them, but some of them scratched him.
With a cold look in his eyes he quickly killed one of them, as the other three were mortified. Hiei killed the other two effortlessly, still maintaining his cold expression.
"You, killed them." The leader said as he landed on the ground.
Akame had already taken care of the other four, she turned her head towards Hiei who was preparing to kill the leader. As Hiei was preparing to run the man through with his sword, but he had a strange reaction and he fell to his knees.
"Those needles were filled with a parasitic toxin from a rare Danger Beast." The leader stated.
The leader laughed as he stood over him.
"Hiei." Akame called out as she ran towards him.
But she made a move Hiei stood back up and grabbed the leader by his neck, he glared at him while releasing a subtle killing intent.
"But the toxin you should be able to…" He stated as he was being choked.
He looked at Hiei's shallow wounds and saw a strange substance being forced out of his body. The leader looked at him with a terrified expression.
"If you knew who I was, then you should know that my body pushes out any toxin that is injected into my body." Hiei explained.
"Please don't kill me, I have a, I have a family. I…I needed the money." The leader pleaded.
With a cold hearted glare Hiei stabbed the man through his heart killing him instantly, he pulled his sword out and swiped the blood off of Getsuga's blade.
"You're such a liar, you killed your entire family because you were hired to. I truly despise people like you." Hiei stated as he dropped the man on the ground.
"Why don't we take the rest of the fish to everyone else" Hiei stated. "Before anyone else come."
Hiei gathered all the fish in a knitted basket and started walking back towards the base. Once they were walking halfway, Akame stopped for a moment.
"Hiei, could we stop for a moment?" Akame asked.
Hiei placed the knitted basket containing the fish on the ground and started his stretching.
"I guess we should take a break for a…" Hiei said.
But was stopped as Akame walked up and kissed him from out of nowhere, Hiei's eyes widened out of surprise. Hiei closed his eyes and returned the kiss while pulling her closer to him. Both of them savored that pleasant moment they had with each other.
Before they separated for breathe, the looked at each other with a huge blush on their faces.
They walked back towards the base in silence, both of them had a smile on their faces.
"So, uh why'd you kiss me back there?" Hiei asked as he blushed.
"I thought you could tell what people were thinking." Akame responded with a smile on her face. "Because I wondered what it felt like to kiss someone."
Akame started walking ahead of him, as Hiei carried the tuna the rest of the way.
"Actually, I actually never felt this way about someone before." Akame thought with a slight blush.
Both of them were blushing as they were heading towards the base.
"Where were you two this entire time?" Leone asked as she looked at both of them.
"Catching breakfast." Both of them answered with a straight face.
