Chapter 8: Part 2: Mixed Emotions and Flowers
The walk was long and it felt like it was getting hotter. They found water again and Kurama used one of his plants and put water in it kind of like a canteen. Emi smiled and looked around as she walked. Emi liked walking though this tropical area of Demon World. The flowers where so colorful and full of beauty. It was hot of course. But she didn't care. She soon forgot about what Hiei said and got lost it the heat and smells.
"Damn it's so hot!" Kuwabara said waving his hand as a fan.
"It's not so bad. I mean look at all these plants. It's beautiful." Emi said smiling up at the trees
Yes you are. Hiei mentally slapped himself. He had to try and not think of things like that. But he felt himself smile. He saw her spin around to point out to Kuwabara the beauty of this tropical part of Demon World. He felt his heart swell.
"Oh! These are my favorite ones!" she said running up to a bush of pink and purple colored flowers. The flower was pink on the inside with purple dots freckled on the inside.
"Oh those are Cupid's Arrows. They call them that because of their arrow like shape when closed." Kurama said with a smile as he bent down to get a closer look at them.
"Oh wow. It looks like a flower you give to a lover." Emi said
"I believe it's gets its name from that as well." Kurama smiled at her.
Hiei smiled at how happy she was. She really looked like she loved those flowers. He wanted to see her smile more. What was so special about it?! He didn't know but it felt like it was becoming a drug. If I gave her those flowers she might smile again. The thought pleased him.
Then Hiei felt his right arm reach for his sword and pull it out sheath. He jumped into the air. Flying over Kurama's head and them with a slash of his sword he came down. He was right in front of Emi. He looked in his hand and it held out the Cupid's Arrows. There were 6 of them in his hand. His eyes widen in shock.
Yusuke let out a low whistle. Botan held in an 'aw' and Kuwabara held in a laugh. Kurama lifted his head and saw Hiei and smiled and shook his head must be the venom. He thought. Emi was blushing and staring from Hiei to the flowers in his hand. He looked just as surprised and he was blushing. He looks so cute right now. She thought with a smile. She took them from his hand and sniffed them and smiled at him. He gulped and she held in giggle because he looked nervous. Then a thought came into her head and she couldn't help but give an evil grin.
"Thanks Hiei that was sweet of you." She said and leaned forward and gave him a kiss on the cheek. She felt his aura become wild and alive and strong. His eyes were wide with shock and awe.
"I…uhhh…I…"he blushed his whole face was red now. He couldn't get any words out and the more he tried the harder it was. It was like his brain just shut off…and he liked it…huh?
"We should hurry I want to get there before it gets dark." She said grinning and turns to keep walking.
Hiei blinked at her. He tilted his head and relaxed a bit. The kiss she gave him felt so right and so good. A bright smile and a kiss. He thought and sighed in his head. He never felt this way before. He wanted more of her. Wanted her to kiss him again.
"Smooth Hiei." Yusuke said with a smile
Hiei said nothing instead he just stared at Emi wishing she would run into his arms and his cheeks over and over again. Nothing could ever feel so good….What's wrong with me?!
"Awwwww Hiei I didn't know you where such a romantic" Botan said with her cat face
"Yes Hiei I think you made her really happy." Kurama said calmly.
"Hey Hiei I didn't think you where all into that romantic stuff. Wow you must really like her huh?" Kuwabara said
"Ugh! I am not so all of you shut up!" Hiei snapped
"Well that isn't what your mind was thinking at the time you wanted to give her flowers that. The venom is most likely to blame…which means…you like Emi!" Kurama said in a cheerful voice
"What?! I do not!" Hiei said but he could hide the color coming to his cheeks. Again.
"Hiei it's nothing to be embarrassed about I mean I went though that I know how you feel" Yusuke said
"Yeah. You can't hide the red pinky string of faith. And you and Emi are tried" Kuwabara said "Like me and Yukiana." He sighed "My love."
"Let's keep going before it gets dark." Hiei said changing the subject and turned and walked away.
"He's in denial…poor thing." Botan said when he was out of ear shot.
"He'll come around." Yusuke said
"If I know Hiei he is keeping it to himself. He's confused." Kurama said watching him follow Emi.
