yeah, i forgot to mention last time, i know that i kinda moved really fast. you find out here that its been two months since hiei had come back. the reason that i skipped so much time is because honestly, nothing exciting happens during that time. Kelly was still sick so it was basically just her recovering. i wrote all the important sutff down, but other than that, there wasnt much to it.

i kind of wanted to add a scene where kelly ended up going to the hospital because she couldnt breath. this would be around a week after Hiei came back. but i didnt put it in because as i went over the scene in my head as i usually do before i write it out, it reminded me too muck of BlackBelt's Wit and Courage. that didnt sit well with me, so i didnt add it.

and lastly, know that this is my first attempt at a limey situation. very first one. so hopefully you like it...

Spreading Your Wings

Ch 10: Saturdays

While going to bed was her favorite time of day, Saturday had become Kelly's favorite day of the week. It was the only day where she woke up in Hiei's arms. Every other day, he would leave around five in the morning because that was when her father would check in on her and her sister before he left for work in the city. She would then wake an hour later, but Hiei didn't want to take the chance of someone catching them in bed. They never did anything, how could they? But he had discovered that her parents were strict, but with reason. Kelly lived in America after all.

But on Saturdays, he left when his Jagan detected the first person awake, then came back when everyone had left for whatever it was they had to do that day. And she was all his until mid-afternoon.

The Saturday after they had gone to meet Brittany was no exception. Hiei was even lucky today. Her youngest brother, Ryan, had an early game that morning. Hiei had actually become some what fond of the ten-year-old. He was the most like Kelly. Intelligent, quick-witted, and all around crazy. Then again, they were all crazy.

Ryan also looked the most like Kelly. Hazel eyes, blonde hair (minus the purple streaks), light freckles, and round face. They were so much alike it was uncanny. Including the whole liking Hiei part. Before the boy had left for his game, he had yelled up into the tree where Hiei sat and said good-bye to him. Hiei had given him a half-smile, not really knowing what to do, but he didn't want to be rude either.

And then, as soon as they were all gone, he was back through the window that Kelly constantly left open and back beside her.

As he wrapped his arms around her he heard her breath in and then mutter, "He likes you."

Hiei frowned. "I thought you were asleep."

"They were loud, as always," she said sleepily. She didn't even bother to open her eyes. "He likes you."

"I've noticed."

"But you don't do anything."

"Hn."

She sighed against his chest and within the next minute, she was asleep again. She had barely been awake to begin with.

He didn't do anything? What did she mean by that? So the kid liked him. That was the kid's problem. He knew she didn't mean that he should do something to stop Ryan from liking him. She wanted her family to like him. So she wanted him to play along with the boy? Was that it?

He was hardly the older brother or paternal type. She knew that. Hell, everyone knew that. So why…?

He thought back to what she had said under her breath when he had asked about her mother crying and forgiving him. She had said something about him maybe understanding what she was feeling someday.

She wasn't thinking…?

His eyes widened and he shifted his head to look at her sleeping face. It had only been two months and already she was thinking of these things? They weren't even mated yet. And she was only eighteen. That was even younger in the Makai. How could she already…?

He ran a hand down her arm. It was closer to summer now so she was wearing a tank top and he was able to run his hand from her shoulder to her wrist without any interference. He was almost buying time, in a way, to think things through.

Maybe she had always thought this way. She may act silly, but she thought like a thirty-five year-old. That was one of the things that appealed to him. She was so child-like in some aspects and so adult-like in others. She was the combination of innocence and maturity that he needed.

And she had been alone for so long. Maybe she had felt she needed something more, and now here Hiei was, her perfect opportunity. Besides, he had heard it was a woman's instincts to want such things.

But she would never ask, because she knew he wasn't one to want that. But if she ever did ask… he loved her too much to refuse her. But she would never ask…

Hiei sighed in frustration. There were too many buts. And even more ifs that he didn't want to think about right now.

God, this girl gave him headaches. Now, he couldn't even fall back to sleep. He would just have to wait until she woke up. He wouldn't say anything. Let her bring it up. He needed time to think.

She woke up two hours later, smiling up at him as if he was the best thing since pop-tarts. And that was saying something for her. He would never get used to her looking at him like that. It startled him every time.

"You didn't go back to sleep?" she asked him as she used her hand to swipe at his bangs and lightly trail her finger tips over the part of his forehead that wasn't covered by his headband.

"No," was all he said.

She searched his face, but found nothing. Not that she had expected to. She gave a sigh then rolled over to climb down her ladder. She really didn't function in the morning until she had moved around a bit.

She staggered into the bathroom, Hiei following silently behind her.

He had to chuckle. She was acting as if she were dead, but he knew that were he to throw a punch at her right now, she would instantly block it. Alert while being dead, something she had had as a human. He had discovered that a lot of what he had credited to her demon side was actually very much present when she was fully human. He had probed her mind once (with her permission) because he was curious as to what she had been like before everything had happened to her. He was surprised to find that she was pretty much the same, personality wise and awareness wise. She even knew how to fight as well as she did now, having taken six years of martial arts (her father had forced her to).

She exited the bathroom and stumbled into his chest, burying her head in his neck. This was routine for them on Saturdays. Their way of learning.

He wrapped his arms around to her back and leaned his cheek to her head.

"I love you," she murmured. She never really said it too loud. And Hiei never really said it at all. It didn't matter though. They weren't the type to say it all the time, but they always knew.

But Kelly said it every morning, almost as if to remind him. She kind of felt that he needed it, in a way. He needed to know that someone loved him. That he wasn't alone. That she was with him and needed him. Always.

He nodded. "I know," he said. The first time that this sequence had happened, she had laughed and said something about "Star Wars" and "Han Solo." Not that Hiei had any idea what those words meant.

Now, however, she just sighed in content and pressed closer to him, almost as if the contact was keeping her alive.

The lust started to creep up in Hiei when he felt her entire body against his. He didn't know how to do the tender things, but the heated things, he was very good at. But he couldn't have her. Not yet. She wasn't ready and she was very old fashioned (no sex before marriage, or in this case the actual mating). Plus, it was kind of hard for them to do that type of thing where they were. The house was small, and had many residents…

But, that didn't mean he couldn't push a little far now.

He grabbed her chin, pulling it up so that he could kiss her. For someone as inexperienced as she was, she was surprisingly very good at this. Such as now, when she kissed him back, slipping her tongue into his mouth before he got the chance to do it to her.

He slowly walked her backwards until she was pressed up against the bathroom door. And yet the closeness wasn't enough. Never enough.

She dug her fingers into his hair with one hand while the other gripped the back of his shirt, pulling him impossibly closer. She slowly brought a leg up and draped it over his waist.

He in turn brought a hand down from her shoulders and placed it on the thigh of hers that was raised in order to keep it in place. He then brought his other hand to the leg that still supported her an lifted it up so that she was forced to wrap her legs completely around his waist so that she didn't fall. Then, he slowly dragged his hands up her body, earning himself a moan from her.

He released her mouth and went instead to the hollow at the base of her neck. He could hear the ragged breaths she was taking, but she never told him to stop, never pushed him away. But he knew it was coming soon. He was going to loose it and she would ground him, make him think straight. But he wouldn't complain because he would know that she was right.

After earning himself another low moan, he brought a hand down to the hem of her shirt. He moved slowly though. The first time he had tried this, she had frozen in fear. All she could think of was Inoji.

He moved his hand up and over, tracing his finger along the scar from his sword. She shivered slightly. And then up farther and he was under her bra. She gave a small cry at his expert touch and then buried her face in his neck as he continued to kiss and nip at her neck.

And this was where he always lost it.

He slowly began to grind his hips into hers. She gasped and held tighter to him, allowing him to continue. He moved a second hand up her shirt, moving it next to his other hand, his hips grinding against hers all the while. He was surprised when she still didn't stop him.

She yanked on his hair, pulling only his head back so that she could kiss him again. She brought her hands back down, past the hands that were on her chest, and then slipped them under his shirt. She ran them across his abdomen and then up, exploring the muscles of his chest. Hiei grunted slightly at her touch. Her hands were always cold, no matter what season it was, and the cold was stimulating against his warm chest. He then grinded his hips faster, quickening the pace that she was trying to keep with her own bucking hips.

And then he felt the push.

He back up, removing his hands from her and easing her down to the ground so that she wouldn't fall. He brought his hands back to his side and opened his eyes to look at her.

She was completely red and was panting hard, her chest rising and falling rapidly with each breath she took. He could see the various marks he had left on her shoulder and lower neck and he knew he would be yelled at later for it. Her mother had yelled at her once when she saw a few of them only two weeks before, much to his, and Kelly's, embarrassment. And yes, he was embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Hiei," she whispered sadly, "I'm so sorry. But I… you… I can't… I'm sorry." She looked like she was ready to cry. She loved him so much, but she couldn't do… what he wanted. Not yet. Not here.

"Baka onna," he said calmly, "How many times to I have to tell you to not be sorry for things that are not your fault?"

She gave a small smile. "A lot, Hiei."

He shook his head and said, "I'm not mad, Kelly. I'll never be mad about that."

"I know." She gave a bigger smile, knowing that in his own little way, he was saying "I love you."

She started for the stairs and asked, "Chocolate chip pancakes?"

He smirked and nodded, following her down the steps.

Yes, he definitely loved Saturdays. Even if it meant taking cold showers galore. He could deal with that. For her, he would deal with anything.

so, yeah. i really didnt know how to write this one. and i didnt put a lot of detail in it. like i didnt really tell you what hiei was doing under her bra. but trust me, he was having lots of fun there... lol sorry. that and a couple other things were going on there that i didnt put in. remember, this is rated T not M. i didnt want to be too explicit, but at the same time i wanted to give some fanservice for making you all wait so long for something like this to happen.

another thing i didnt give too much detail on, though im sure you can all figure out what i was talking about in the first part of this chapter... i just didnt want to put it in cause it didnt seem like Hiei to actually think the word that i meant, or more, words. he kinda just wanted to avoid it completely. lol

so this chapter was kinda the oposite of what i usually do. i get a lot of reviews saying that they like my detail. but in this chapter, i avoided the detail. it leaves more for the reader to interpret and be innocent (in this case)
