Porcelain Doll
Chapter 6: Crossing the line of no return
"Sister!"
Rin turned her shy eyes from the ground and looked behind the larger boy in front of her. The boy had her long hair wrapped around his large fist and was just about to slam her to the floor. Rin sighed in relief when she saw a tall 18-year-old young man with choppy black hair and seething dark blue eyes heading angrily in their direction.
"Let the fuck go of my sister you ugly brute!" her bother yelled before he took down the beast of a child with one bullet like punch.
Draven quickly detangled Rin's hair and swept her into his long arms.
"We need to tell mom and pa that it's happening again. You can't keep letting them do this. I'll make sure that they do something about it this time," her brother said softly as he kissed the top of her head.
"What are you doing here Draven? This is a middle school," Rin said playfully, but her brother knew better than to trust her tone.
"Mother sent me to come get you. I'm glad she did."
He grabbed her small soft hand and together they started the short mile to their house. Rin watched her long light green skirt sway in the cold wind. She wouldn't know what to do if her brother left her. He chose to stay in town to go to college, but she knew he didn't want to stay here for the rest of his life.
"Sister."
Rin looked up to her brother's sad smiling face.
"We will tell them about how horrible those kids are to you and you will be strong, understand? Every night I hear you crying about them calling you ugly. You're the most beautiful person I know. Even if you don't listen when I say kick their Ass's," he let out a loud boisterous laugh before smirking down at her.
"Not all of us revert to our fist."
Draven gave his sister a crooked smile as they approached their small home.
"I love you Brother."
"I love you to Sister."
Rin's eyes snapped open as she sat up swiftly with her hand on her chest. Her heart was pounding and aching all at once as she recalled her memory over and over.
"Brother," her voice croaked as warm tears flew freely from her eyes.
She took a few deep breaths and wiped the wetness from her cheeks. With one last shaky breath, she looked around the dark room. There were blankets scattered all over the floor, but no one was laying in them. With a frown Rin continued to look around the room until her eyes landed on a black figure that was sitting on the window sill.
His crimson eyes were watching her carefully as she stared wide-eyed at his lax figure. The way that the moon lit up half of his face but left the other part shaded seemed to fit him. At least from what she had seen. He is very unpredictable and seemed a little neurotic at time.
Neither one spoke a word as they continued to stare at each other. She had a feeling that something unspoken was taking place but she just couldn't understand his strange behavior any more than she could understand Latin, and she knew not one word of it.
"Where...Where are the others?" she asked nervously, finally having enough of the confusing staring contest.
"Outside." he said smoothly as he continued to stare at her.
"Um...doing what, exactly?"
If he kept staring at her like that then she was going to just keel over from nerves.
"They are putting up barriers and traps so no more intruders can get through."
He continued to stare at her.
"Stop staring at me!" she screeched as she subconsciously held her blanket against her body.
His eyes never quivered, but his lips twisted up into a secretive smirk that made her heart flutter around in her chest. He was acting a little odd, but she felt confused about why he would be. It was almost as if he was distracting her from something…Did something happen?
"Rin!"
She tore her eyes from the fire demon and barely had enough time to see the aqua hair before she tackled Rin into a hug.
"Hello to you to Yukina," Rin said gently.
"How are you feeling?" Yukina questioned as she pulled away from her and continued to stare in worry and concern.
Rin blinked in confusion for only a moment before her face darkened and her skin paled; the shadow demon, him touching her, her blacking out.
"Did...did he?"
She hardly recognized her own voice. It sounded so empty and lost. Yukina took a step back, her eyes wide and panicked.
"No, he was stopped before he could do anything to you."
Rin looked to the door way and saw Koenma and a surprisingly large egg in his grasp. It was pulsing yellow.
"Do you remember what Makoto said to you in your dream Rin?" Koenma asked as he walked towards her, the egg cradled in his arm.
"Yes." Dammit! There was that voice again!
"You are to keep this egg with you so he can feed it his energy. This has never been tried before but so far it seems like it's working better than it normally does. You have only had it for a few days it should hatch in just a few more weeks."
Rin stared at the egg with heavy-lidded eyes before taking it from him. He stood there, waiting for her to talk, but she just stayed silent with her eyes down on the egg. Koenma felt his chest twist painfully before sending Yukina a worried glance and heading back outside with the others so he could help add protection.
Kuwabara and Yusuke tried everything that they could just to get the girl to smile. It was forced when she did and had no true feelings behind it. They had all grown attached to the young girl and they looked at her like not only a part of the gang, but as a little sister.
Yet nothing they did affected her and they did not know what to do. They were now allowed to sleep in their own room, and every night the house hold would meet each other in the living room and listen to her terrified screams as she relived the nightmare over and over.
They were all bothered by it, even the fire demon who hid it like an expert, but the only ones who were not fooled was the fox demon and the old woman who had notice that slight change in the fire demons cold demeanor. He was tense and would sometimes take off. Her screams fell silent 5 minutes later and Hiei would not return until the next day.
She would scream No, and go on rants about being covered in blood. Every now and again they would catch her practically trying to down herself in a scorching hot bath tub. She would say that she felt dirty and kept seeing blood all over her body.
Kurama tried to get the girl to eat but she wouldn't take it and wouldn't take any drink that he tried to give her. He was worried about the human girl. He could only imagine how horrible the whole situation has been for her. Not to mention her mind kept constantly playing tricks on her.
She had grown up in a world where everyone was sheltered and hidden from the true horrors of the world. That made it that much harder to deal with. It was going to be a long journey full of pain and they were unsure if she would be able to handle it.
"Rin, we all have to return home, but you are to go nowhere without someone with you. Hiei will be here keeping an eye on everything. We will back in about two weeks. We have a lot of investigating to do," Kurama said gently as everyone except the fire demon sat at the table eating breakfast.
"Okay," Rin's detached voice whispered as she stared blankly at her food in an eerie dream state that matched her blood-shot eyes.
The food had no taste to her but for her friend's sake she stuffed down the eggs until she felt like she was going to vomit. She was aware of how they all stepped around her like she was just going to snap. She hated it. She hated how they felt the need to baby her and to try to comfort her. She didn't want comfort. She just wanted to have a moment where she forgot everything. Just one moment where she wasn't reminded of the horrors that she had barely survived through, and she had no idea how she even got out of that predicament in the first place!
She still constantly felt dirty. She just couldn't get over that scum touching her. She kept bathing and bathing herself but nothing she did would rid of his trash like scent and the feel of his hands touching her.
For next few days Rin was keeping herself busy by cleaning. She was surprised that every day when she went to clean another room, the fire demon would be sitting on the window sill, watching her every move. He never spoke or stepped around her like she was glass. It was like he understood that she just wanted left alone, but she couldn't wrap her head around why he was there. At first she thought it was simply accidental, but when it happened the third time, she knew that he was doing it on purpose; for what reason? She had no idea, but she enjoyed his silent company.
She would hum softly to herself as she swept or mopped and he would sit on the window sill with his normal stoic face, watching her every move like he was judging something. Whatever it was, she was sure she would find out soon.
It had now reached the weekend and Rin managed to clean every single room in the Temple. No one said anything about her cleaning and she managed to avoid Yukina and Genkia while she cleaned; or maybe they avoided her. She was fine with both of those possibilities.
Rin walked into the Kitchen and nearly had a heart attack as she spotted the fire demon sitting on the window sill.
"Hiei!" Rin yelped as she placed her hand over her racing heart.
His eyes seemed to light up in an almost animalist way, but as soon as she noticed it, it was gone. She was sure her eyes showed her confusion as a light smirk found its way on his lips. Does he ever smile?
She quickly turned her attention away from him as she started to make herself some warm tea so that maybe, MAYBE, she could have a peaceful day without random flashbacks. She was sick of the nightmares and feeling so damn dirty. She just wanted to get over it. With a frown she dipped her tea bag in the steaming hot cup of water, her thoughts too deep to feel the fire demons heated gaze on her back.
"Onna."
Rin froze as she was putting sugar in her tea. That was the first time he had spoken a word to her all week. She turned around and nearly screamed when she came in contact with the fire demons chest. When had he gotten so close?
"I know a way that will help you get over your fears. My methods are completely unemotional and if you choose to accept, be prepared to face whatever consequences that may come of it."
Rin stared at Hiei's fiery eyes as she played his words over and over in her head. What was he talking about?
He lowered his face to hers, his lips almost touching her quivering ones.
"When I come for you, you better have an answer," was the last thing he said before she was the only one in the kitchen, her tea completely forgotten.
For the rest of the day Rin was too distracted to even realize that she was cleaning a window that she had just cleaned the day before. All she could think about was that stupid fire demons words. What the hell did he mean? What method was he talking about? How could she decide when she didn't know what the options were? Her head felt like it was going to explode. The fire demon in question had not been following her around in her cleaning quest. He completely disappeared after his strange behavior in the kitchen that afternoon.
He was completely rude and mean but she did enjoy his silent company. She always believed that the best things are spoken when talking wasn't involved, but this fire demon was as aloof with his actions as he was with his words.
With a frustrated squeal Rin threw her rag against the window before leaning her head against the cool glass.
"Rin? Dinner is ready."
She turned around and smiled her best (but fake) smile at the small demon.
"Let me just pick up my stuff and I'll be right there," she said as happily as she could.
Yukina smiled sadly before going into the Kitchen. Rin realized for the first time since she fell into depression that her friends were suffering as well. It was all because she was too weak to pull herself out of it. She had never had people care about her like this, at least people she wasn't related to.
Hiei's words played through her mind again; if it would help her become herself again...than she will do whatever it took.
Rin put on a large grey t-shirt and black shorts. She braided her long wet hair before sighing and rubbing her arms in attempt to calm herself. She headed towards her bed and gently fell down on the cold quilt.
She had hardly slept and when she did it was short-lived. She closed her eyes and tried to relax. She had no idea how long she had just laid there, staring into the darkness of her room, before she heard her window open. With a startled yelp she sat up in her bed and froze in her spot when her eyes landed on glowing red orbs. Hiei was sitting on her window sill, the wind messing up his black gravity defying hair in a way that made him look completely god like to her.
He eyed her small frame carefully as she sat on the edge of her bed completely and utterly vulnerable to him.
"Come here Onna."
She blinked at him, confusion dancing across her eyes at his demand. She could barely here the gentleness in his voice, but she had still heard it. She couldn't help but doubt the situation.
"Come here," he demanded a little more forcefully, this time holding his hand out to the frozen girl.
It took her a moment, but she hesitantly stood up and started to walk towards the fire demon that in reality, she hardly knew. The others told her things about him, but she didn't really know HIM.
He kept his eyes on her unsure form, and kept eye contact even when her small fragile hand placed itself in his callused larger ones.
"This is your only chance to back out Onna. Will you come with me and let me help you the only way I know how, or will you stay here and continue to suffer?"
Rin knew she should say no. The way he was looking at her, so heatedly, showed her that whatever his methods were, were going to make her a nervous wreck.
She knew it was wrong. Oh so very wrong that her body and heart wanted to go with him and do whatever he said. They seemed to know what he was insisting, yet her naïve mind could not figure it out, but she knew that it would be wrong to go with him. But it felt right.
"I will go with you Hiei."
Her voice was soft and held uncertainty and nervousness. If Hiei was anyone else than he would have never of put the naïve girl in this situation. He knew that she was not entirely sure what she was getting herself into, but he knew that in a sick, fucked up way it will help her. In the future will it only do more damage to her? He didn't know and he didn't care.
"No matter what takes place, it is completely unemotional, remember that," he grunted before pulling her to his heated body and jumping out of the window.
A surprised squeal left her lips as he started to run. She clung to his blue shirt for dear life and breathed in his strangely addicting, comforting scent. God, he smelt so good! She practically moaned in delight as she breathed in more and more of his erotic smell. Never before had she been able to be this close to him without something horrible happening. She just couldn't help but take advantage of the situation.
He finally stopped running and placed her gently on her feet. Rin blinked in confusion as she looked around the forest he had taken her to. The only source of light was the full moon that lingered over them. For once they were completely alone.
Rin turned her attention back to the fire demon that was watching her with an incomprehensible expression. She felt a blush rise on her face as she took a step back, his gaze making her uncomfortable. He took a step forward, his head tilting to the side. She took another step back. What is he planning to do?
Rin's eyes widened when her back hit a large tree trunk. Within a blink of an eye he had her pressed to the tree, his heated body trapping her. Rin stared into his eyes that held an emotion that she just couldn't pin point. His eyes were almost soft and seemed to be taking in every structure of her face.
"He...Hiei?" Her voice was shaky and confused, but seemed to snap him out of whatever trance he fell in.
His hand moved to her hip and lightly caressed it, sending shivered throughout her extremely warm body. When he grabbed it, her eyes went wide as she bucked her hips when a strange pleasure hit her. A low growl left his lips in response as he lowered his lips to her neck.
He explored it with light kisses until he heard her intake air. He nipped that spot lightly right as he squeezed her hip again. She bucked as a low moan left her lips. With his other hand he pulled the tie from her hair and fingered out her braid. He moved his hand on her hip under her shirt and brushed his hand against her stomach. She shivered against his touch as her mind seemed to cloud up more and more from this pleasurable contact. He slowly started to move his hand down her shorts.
"Hiei, I...don't…"
Hiei removed his face from her neck and stared down into her fear filled eyes.
"When he did it...it hurt," she whimpered as tears started to gather in her eyes. He frowned slightly but kept gently rubbing his fingers on her stomach.
"It's not going to hurt. Just keep your eyes on me Onna."
Rin blinked at his surprisingly somewhat gentle tone.
"You promise it won't hurt," she whispered as she stared deeply into his guarded red eyes.
"Hn. I promise," he said before continuing to move his hand down.
Her breathing got harsher as she waited for the pain to start but he promised her that it wouldn't hurt, and as long as she kept her eyes on his she found that she believed him. Her eyes went wide and her breathing hitched when his hand gently cupped her outside of her underwear. She never held such heat in her body at once; at least not pleasurable heat. She had never felt anything like this.
As he slowly started to massage her in gentle motions, her breathing started to quicken and her eyes found it hard to stay open but she kept her eyes on his, unable to look away from the passion that was now hiding behind his usual stoic gaze. She whimpered in protest as his hand stopped and started to pull out of her shorts. He smirked when a loud moan left her lips when he moved his hand under her underwear.
He was happy to see that her body was reacting so strongly to him. He continued to massage her for a moment until he found her core and gently inserted a finger. If possible, her eyes got even wider as she clawed his shoulders almost violently. He growled as he fought to control his demonic urges. This girl would not be able to move if he lost control.
He slowly stared to move his finger and nearly groaned when she closed her eyes and leaned her head back as she bit her lip. He pulled her legs up so they could wrap around his waist and with his other hand he held her up by her bottom.
He bent down to her ear and whispered, "Don't hold back Onna," before maneuvering his finger in a way that made her cry out in pleasure.
He watched in delight as this innocent human girl started to thrust her hips, matching that same rhythm he settled at. He could feel his pants becoming tighter as he watched the girl's body move, but for her own good he tried to ignore it.
When her glazed over dark blue eyes opened and looked at him with complete hunger, he nearly lost control. His lips crashed down on hers, and it only seemed to set both of their bodies on fire. Their rhythm fastened as his mouth silence her moans. He growled as he took advantage of her open mouth and lapped up the taste of her innocents. She kissed him back just as hungrily and he wondered if she had ever kissed anyone before. If she hadn't, than she had a natural talent.
She tasted completely intoxicating and pure.
He felt her walls start to tighten around his finger so he removed his mouth from hers. He wanted to listen and see the results of their sin. He felt her body quiver against him as her eyes stayed glued to his. She screamed out, her eyes half closed as she clutched him for dear life, too afraid that she was going to somehow float away from him. They slowed their pace until they were completely still, breathing hard, but still gazing at one another, neither wanting to break eye contact.
Hiei bent down to her neck and nipped at it gently before removing his hand and sweeping her up into his arms once more. He could feel the fatigue settling over her and he knew that she was not ready for him. That was the first pleasurable act she had ever participated in. She couldn't handle a wild demon like him.
No matter how wild she had become.
He jumped up into the tree by the girl's room and leaped elegantly through the open window.
He walked over to her bed and gently laid her down and pulled her covers over her. She looked up at him with heavy-lidded eyes and he had to fight the urge to smile at the Onna. He found it amusing and arousing at the same time that she was exhausted because of the pleasure HE had given her.
"Sleep Onna," he said softly as her eyes closed and she soon fell into a deep sleep for the first time in a long time.
He stood there in silence as he watched her even breathing, a small smile on her face. He gently brushed a strand of hair out of her face and put it behind her ear, as he stared down at her with a battled expression. He had said it himself that whatever happened would be completely unemotional yet...the whole thing seemed nothing but emotional.
He wanted her. More than he had wanted a woman, and he had felt this way since the first time he had laid eyes on the human Onna. He feared however that if he took that step that he would be facing consequences that he had a feeling he didn't want to face.
Even now with their small act of pleasure he was feeling something odd stabbing at his chest….
Tearing his gaze from the sleeping girl he left her room and ran like hell. He only had one thought haunting him as his mind kept replaying what just happened not that long ago. He may have already fallen in too deep, and that thought terrified him.
