AN: hey guys, thanks for the favds and for reading. Plz review!
It was cold and wet, but Hiei was sitting on the park bench he'd started his walk from. He was been fighting a group of 5 preps who'd tried to mug him because they thought he was a kid because he was so small.
"Sasha! come here! GET AWAY FROM THE ROAD!"
For second time held still, horn sounded and truck driver shouted crossly...then Hiei stood in front of her with the cat.
"This is yours I believe,"
He put the Sahsa down on the ground where ribbed his legs and then went to Skylor's side, she knelt down and hugged her cat tightly, heart was thudding madly in her chest.
"You stupid, STUPID animal!" She scolded with voice slightly shaky "Don't you EVER scare me like that again!" She then turned her attention to Hiei and stood up, "And YOU! You're an idiot! AN IDIOT! You could've been hurt!" she was slap to his shoulder.
He just stood there stunned. Because her hitting him mostly because no one had ever been concerned about the of getting hurt before.
"Y-you're dirty..." she said, "both of you are,"
Hiei looked down at himself and his shirt and pants was covered with mud and wetness when the turck had gone through a puddle. He'd have to find a washer or go to Kuramna's house or his mom maybe.
But then girl suddenly said: "C-come with me...you can use my shower…and…I'll…I'll put your clothes in the wash for you..."
"You don't have to."
"Yes, I do...least I can do to say thank you...for saving Sasha,"
"I...suppose," Hiei said, "If it's not too much trouble."
It beat using the showers at the gym or other places he usually stayed, at least he wouldn't have to share with others.
"No, i-it's fine...come on..." she picked up the cat, "come on Sahsa, home now."
It wasn't a long walk back to her house, they both knew the way there.
The inside surprised Hiei. I was clean but the walls were creamy coloured and mostly framed photos of family. Hiei was jealous because he had ot family after his mom threw him off the cliff.
"Bathroom's upstairs, I'm...going to wash Sahsa down here in the kitchen...uh...shout if you need something."
She took her cat down the corridor, out of his sight, leaving him alone in the hall at the bottom of the stairs.
Well, he wasn't going to get clean standing her staring after her. He hoped the water was hot.
"The heck is wrong with you, girl?" Skylor asked herself aloud, "inviting a total stranger into the house to use the shower. He could be anyone. I must be crazy,"
Sahsa made a mew she was upset because she hates the water.
"Don't agree with me!" she said, splashing some water "Come on tell me I did the right thing?"
Sahsa made a mew and then was eet.
"Thank you," she sad,
A few minutes after Sasha was done washed and the guest...uh...what was his name? Think!...Hiei! It suddenly came back to her; anyway, he called for her.
He was looking out from of the bathroom, still in his headband but his hair was wet and... Skylor's eyes widened and she eas blush instantly across her face. She could see his bare chest...oh my god...
"There's...no towels in here," he told her.
"I'll...I'll get one for you,"
She went and got the biggest one she could find. She didn't look at him when she handed him the large white fluffy towel, her cheeks was still a bright crimson and her eyes totally shut, but she could still remember what he looked like wet and naked.
"I'm...I'm going downstairs to make some lunch...there's gramp's towlie for you in the...the spare room...uh...just...g-give me your clothes and...I'll wash them for you...OK? Bye!"
She butt bolted down the stairs to the kitchen once he'd handed her his clothes. She couldn't get back up. Not right now.
No way!
Ok, focus: first things first. Put his clothes in the washer...
OK, that done...Make lunch...concentrate on making lunch. What's it going to be? Umm...pasta! Pasta and salad, there was a bag of fridge. Yeah. Lunch...make lunch...Don't think about who's upstairs.
Well, at least THAT had been more like the reactions he was used to from girls, Hiei was like, to be honest, she'd seemed more surprised than anything else.
She was pretty when she blushed...he shook his head. No thoughts like that! She was doing him favours in returns for rescuing her pet.
NO thoughts about her looking pretty, just thank her for the shower dress, and food and get back to training once it's all over. Forget about her, she's nothing, just a stranger I was run into a few times thesedays
Who...doesn't know that you're famous or yourn demon.
She was just being nice! It's the good thing to do.
She didn't have to invite you here. The POLITE thing to do would've say 'thank you' and walk away. Maybe she likes you?
She doesn't know me! She can't like me!
She must like you on some. And you must like her-
Enough! He shook his head again, almost giving himself a head process. He dried himself and wrapped the towel over his waist, went in search of the room and the dress towlie.
