Memory
Chapter 7
By Ronin S. Oath
"Haven't you learned your lesson yet?" Kuwabara growled. "Or would you like me to permanently break your ugly nose?"
Yusuke snorted, grinning evilly at the spotty boy's cohorts. "You do know who I am, right?"
A look of fear crossed the other boy's faces.
"Shut up!" the spotty boy yelled. "There's only three of them, and one of 'em's a shrimpy little kid. We have them out numbered three to fifteen! We can take them!"
The group still seemed unconvinced.
Hiei's eyes started to glow. "Who did you call a shrimpy little kid?"
Yusuke was surprised by the tone of Hiei's voice. He hadn't heard that evil growl since Hiei lost his memory. And he was struck by how much he missed the evil voice.
Kuwabara, on the other hand, was slowly freaking out.
"I did," the spotty boy answered. "What are ya goin' do about it, shorty?" The spotty kid turned to Kuwabara, laughing. "Or is ugly over here gonna hit me for you?"
The rest of the gang slowly retreated after noticing the look on Hiei's face.
An unintelligible snarl left Hiei's mouth.
"Okay, dwarf-boy, I'm gonna ask ya one more time… Whatcha gonna do about?"
Hiei had leapt towards the oblivious kid, and punched him in the stomach.
The spotted kid's breath left him with a loud whoosh, and he doubled over, trying to get air back into his lungs.
Hiei grasped the boy's greasy hair and stared into the boy's dark brown eyes. "What did you call Kuwabara-kun?"
Kuwabara fell back (anime style) at being defended by Hiei.
The spotted boy, probably out of his mind in pain, spat on Hiei's face.
Hiei barely flinched. Calmly wiping his face with his free hand, a smile made its way to Hiei's face.
The boy's insides froze over... Now he realized that he was in deep shit. That smile promised pain and suffering! The spotty boy looked over to Yusuke and Kuwabara, but found no mercy from them. 'Shit! I'm dead meat!'
Hiei scared the boy even more by replying, "You are dead meat, human." Then proceeded to beat poor spotty black and blue…
By the time Hiei's temper was placated, spotty was in pain in places he didn't think could hurt! His bloody face was an example of what not to show people with bad hearts or weak stomachs! The poor boy was so swollen and bruised that even his own mother would run away screaming her head off!
Hiei stood over the blubbering mass of flab on the ground and softly said, "Are you going to apologize to Kuwabara-kun?"
A clearly apologetic moan slid from behind the spotty boy's swollen lips.
Hiei seemed to understand, and turned away.
Kuwabara flinched with Hiei's ruby eyes caught his own. 'Shit! Hiei is back! Now he's gonna pound me like he did that kid!'
Hiei closed his eyes, and a visible shudder went through him. When he reopened his eyes, the cold red glare was gone, replaced by an innocent smile. "Wow! Did you see that? That was almost as good as you, Kuwabara-kun!" Hiei paused, as if realizing something. "It was okay, right? I mean, he insulted you... I thought that needed punishment."
Kuwabara's mouth dropped open.
Yusuke chortled, "Yeah. I think it was alright, Hiei. Now how about we go to Kurama's?" Yusuke tugged both figures around the spotted kid and walked away.
