Evil Angel
Chapter Seven:Had Enough
Hey I'm back with another chapter, this one sort of speeds things up abit, but there is still much chaos to come... Anyway enjoy! -hieisdarkdragonchick
Despite Shina's subtle attempts at hiding it, it was obvious the wiser members of the group that she was not well. Not only were a few of her old wounds open, but she was constantly scanning the area ahead of her, as if expecting someone to attack her at any given moment.
Kurama recognized paranoia, and Hiei knew enough of the ailment to guess that Shina was very paranoid.
He didn't have to use his jagan to guess who she was expecting, but what he couldn't guess, was why Masaaki, Kenta would be after a human.
Below Hiei's bandanna his jagan eye began to glow, but no sooner had the fire apparition entered the girl's mind, than a seething Shina threw a punch at his face.
Hiei dodged it easily, and arrogantly puched her back. Shina, suddenly feeling dizzy, took the punch, it did absolutely nothing to help her ever growing headache.
"Shina you alright? You don't look so good..." Yusuke started.
"That was uncalled for Shorty! You hit a girl!" Kazuma shouted in protest.
Kurama's eyes narrowed, "Yusuke!"
The detective followed Kurama's gaze, peering through a convenietly forming fog, and caught sight of a tall suave man. Shina collapsed, and Yusuke caught her awkwardly, still staring at the figure in the fog, "WHY THE HELL IS HE JUST STANDING THERE?!" The detective shouted in irritation to Kurama.
"I think, he wants us to follow him..." Kuwabara said in surprise.
"I agree with Kuwabara... It seems he would like to help her," Kurama stated curiousity peaked.
Hiei bristled at the thought, his instincts were screaming out against the idea. He glared at Kurama, "Her wounds can be treated without that man's aid."
"oh lighten up Hiei," the detective drawled tiredly, "the guy wants ta help let 'em..." Yusuke yawned.
"I quite agree..." Kurama said, eyes drooping warily.
Obviously something was wrong here; the oaf let out a loud pig like noise, alerting everyone to the fact that he was sleeping.
Hiei did not feel the least bit drowsy as he shot his comrades a glare that clearly questioned their intelligence.
The man approached, and Hiei drew his sword.
He had a deadly aura, and eyes blacker than any Hiei had ever encountered. He also had an amused smirk on his face, half hidden by strands of long greasy black hair.
"Keep your crimson eyes upon Lenore; lest you see her nevermore!" The man shouted in a birdlike sqawk.
Before Hiei could respond, the fog lifted and the man had vanished. 'What a fool' he thought looking at the spot where the other male had been moments ago. His eyes fell suspiciously on the unconcious Shina, and he stared, irritation gnawing away at his insides.
"Stupid girl..." He growled, once again wondering why there were so many freaks after her.
His eyes flew towards the sky at the sound of a sqawking bird, the raven circled him once and vanished.
Hiei snorted, and threw Shina carelessly over his shoulder. Kurama and the others were waking up slowly. Once the woman was conscious again, Hiei would demand answers; He'd had enough of the girl's foolish games, his patience was at its end.
None of the boys knew where Shina had intended on taking them; but they all agreed that it was not safe to remain where they were. It was Kurama leading the way this time, mentally conversing with Hiei about the most strategic place to stay, as it was clear that Shina had a large group of 'followers'. Hiei thought it best to pick a place where they could not be tracked down, Kurama agreed, but also thought it wise to find a place where, if attacked, they would immeadiately have the advantage. As none of the buildings in Chicago seemed to match these terms, Hiei was even more irritable than before.
Hiei scowled as Shina stirred with a pained groan, "twenty third avenue, twenty third house, twenty third floor." She muttered, pointing at a building to the right, before she realized she was being carried.
Had she had the energy to protest against her position, the human would have given Hiei an ear full, but as it was, she barely had the energy to remember what her name was.
"Who is Lenore?" Hiei growled without warning.
Shina grumbled something inaudible into his back.
Hiei dropped her roughly, much to Yusuke and Kuwabara's dislike.
Shina attempted to glare at the fire apparition but failed epically, "None of your business."
The short fuse that was Hiei's patience exploded into flames; and Shina found herself being shaken as he lifted her by the collar of her shirt.
"I will ask you once more-" Hiei hissed before he was intteruptted.
"Lenore, Lenore, the long lost Lenore," came an eeriely soothing voice.
Hiei's eyes widened in sudden shock, and Shina began to tremble.
"Nevermore Nevermore," the man continued cheerily.
"What the hell? Is he trying to confuse us?" Yusuke asked.
"He's speaking in riddles." Kurama clarified.
"He's creepin' me out?!" Kuwabara shouted.
The owner of the voice appeared from the darkness that surrounded them.
"That's the guy who knocked us out!" Yusuke shouted.
The man chuckled, " On the contrary, that was my brother, who warned you all to run for cover."
Shina had ripped herself out of Hiei's vice grip, and now stood with her aura raging around her in a flaming fury. "Lenore..." the man began, but Shina attacked furiously.
"I-AM-GROWING-EXTREMELY- TIRED- OF YOUR RHYMING GAMES!" She shouted as the man easily blocked her every blow.
Shina lunged at him with her knife, the an sidestepped her fluidly and brought his elbow down on her. Shina was already panting for breath, her previous wounds preventing her from getting back on her feet, though she made a feirce attempt.
Yusuke aimed his finger, and Kuwabara drew his sword, but the man merely knealt down and gently whispered "Together we shall be once more Lenore..." and then, as if he'd been longing to for years, he gave Shina a rough violent kiss, bruising her chin and lips as he did so.
Shina struggled against him with what little strength she had left, but it was futile. In the end it was Hiei who stopped the bruising kiss, with a swipe of his sword. The man moved to dodge it, leaving Shina to steam in her increased fury.
Yusuke threw her arm around his shoulders, pulling her to her feet. "You alright?" He asked concernedly.
Shina growled.
"Who is this guy?" Kuwabara wondered aloud as he watched the man dodge Hiei with unusual ease.
"That," Shina hissed bitterly, "is Masaaki, Kenta."
