Chapter 4: Brutality
Hiei's POV
I am going to kill that son of a bitch. He thinks he can do that to my sister and get away with it? I'm going to fuck him up so bad he'll never piss the same again! I think what makes this worse is that Kurama and Raven knew what was going on and they didn't have the decency to tell me. Momiji might have known too and if that's the case I don't want any further association with that bitch. Ignorant humans believing they can use demons without some kind of retribution. I will murder every single one of them. Not a life should be spared. Yukina doesn't deserve this. Who would torture someone like her? She's so loving and innocent. I run through the building, hoping I can find her before its too late.
Momiji's POV
I really hope I'm not too late. I can run about as fast as Hiei, but he's had a 12 hour head start. I don't want Hiei to go to jail. He's the only I can count on to never be fake, to tell me what he really thinks. He's my only real friend in the world. Hell, I guess that makes him my best friend. He makes me laugh and he makes me cry and I know I don't want to go back without him. He is one hundred percent right. That human bastard should die for what he did to his sister. No demon deserves that, no matter how vile the human may think they are.
I run as quickly as I can through the halls of the building. Getting in was easy enough since Yusuke and Kuwabara took out all of the guards. Finding Hiei would be difficult though. He could manipulate his energy to make it so he was unable to be located. The last thing you want when you're about to avenge your sister's suffering is to be found. So the most logical thing to do is to follow the stench of the evil humans and I will hopefully find him. Running up several flights of stairs, I finally burst into the room where I see a girl with turquoise hair watching Hiei beat the shit out of an ugly human. She looks absolutely terrified, and I feel really scared as well.
"Hiei! Hiei you need to stop! Think about what you're doing!" My pleas seem to do nothing. He keeps pounding his fists into the man's head. I run as fast as I can and grab onto his back. I wrap my arms around him, crying, fearing that he'll be arrested and taken away from me. The girl reaches out and touches his arm.
"Please stop." She's crying too.
"Hiei please stop. If you don't they'll take you away. Raven, Kurama, and I…. we need you. I need you. Please don't do this. This human's life is not worth your freedom. Please stop," I blubber into his chest. He puts the man down. I release my arms and he turns around. He looks at his sister, astounded that she did not want vengeance. Then he looked at me and wiped my tears away. I grasped onto him, not wanting to let go. Yukina ran down the stairs to assist Kuwabara who had just risked his life to save her. I look up at Hiei, still crying.
"Why didn't you say anything to her Hiei?"
Hiei's POV
I looked down into the doe eyes that made my chest beat faster and faster, and I replied softly, "She doesn't know I'm her brother." Her eyes looked so confused, her brow furrowed in confusion.
"Why not Hiei?" I sighed. I wanted to explain everything to her, tell her what had happened to me as a child, who I was raised by, how I got my Jagan eye and so much more. Yet I knew that giving her that information could be incredibly dangerous.
"She wouldn't want to know her brother was a criminal like me. It would be better if she lived with her memories and her dreams than if she had to live with the reality." She looked up into my eyes, her eyes filling with pools of tears.
"Hiei that's not fair. You can't know what she would or would not like to life with. She may even believe your dead and it would be better for her to know you're alive."
"No one wants me Momiji. My parents proved that." Damn it all I slipped up. I didn't want her to know anything. She brought her hands up to her eyes and began to bawl into them.
"That's not true Hiei! I think you're amazing! If I didn't have you with me, I'd be all alone again! I wouldn't have a friend in the world without you! I never would have met anyone nor done anything. You are my best friend and without you I would be the loneliest person in the world. Now that I've known you I know in my heart that I never want to life without you! When we're together I feel perfect. I don't want you to think those things about yourself," she bawled. It sounded almost like one big sentence that she couldn't quite finish. I grabbed her, held her to my chest. I wanted to make her stop crying. There were so many tears that she was soaking the entire front of my robe. She slowly calmed down. She pulled away a little ways and looked up at me.
"Promise you'll stay with me Hiei? Promise you won't leave me." She looked like she was going to cry again. I nodded slowly.
"So many days I've been alone. I don't want to be alone again Hiei. I'm so tired of being alone."
"I'm tired of being alone too Momiji. I won't leave as long as you don't." She smiled up at me; her eyes still red from all the crying.
"I'm so glad I found you before it was too late."
"And it was a good thing you did too, for it appears we are too late," Kurama stepped into the doorway with my sister. Her eyes were red as well, and she ran for me. She grabbed onto me, almost crushing me.
"Hiei I'm so sorry. I thought I was going to lose you again. Please don't ever scare me like that again." I was going to say something vile and retched but Momiji's look stopped me dead in my tracks. I never really want to hurt my sister's feelings, it just kind of happens. She lets go and gazes down upon my face. I show no emotion as always, even though I want to tell her that I'm sorry that I worried her. I can't let her see how I feel. People can use my weaknesses against me easily. She already uses my softness towards her as leverage. Momiji grabs my hand a gently says, "Let's go home Hiei." And I can't hold in my smile. Not a smirk, a real genuine smile. My first ever.
