(Yay! Next chapter. I promise the next one will be much longer.)
As Yukina and I came back down stairs I felt eyes on me. I looked to Genkai asking her what was up but she seemed to be pondering something. I blew it off, whatever. They could look all they want I was still leaving with my sister. One pair of eyes in particular I felt on me was that of the annoying pig. I looked over at him and glared. He glared back but did not avert his gaze. It irritated me but I wouldn't let him know that.
"Koda?" came Botan's voice. I looked to her curiously her voice had been so soft, timid. "I want you to promise me something." I looked at her with a questioning look. "Promise me, promise me you won't do anything to purposely injure yourself while your there okay?" Botan asked. I merely nodded in response but that didn't seem satisfy her. "Yes, what?" she asked tears in her eyes. I could see the confusion and doubt in her eyes. I looked to Genkai desperation in my eyes, asking her to tell Botan.
"Tell her yourself." Genkai said turning away from me. I looked to my sister hopefully but she just shook her head. Desperately I tried, tried to remember words, sign language anything I could use to communicate. I couldn't, no matter how I tried I couldn't come up with anything. It seemed impossible the only way I knew what to do was through my mind but I couldn't yet project my thoughts into someone else's head unless they could read minds.
'Please.' I cried out to those that could hear me in the room. Genkai and my sister just continued to watch. My sister had a sad expression as she watched me while Genkai just gave me a stoic stare. I was giving up when I heard the annoying pig.
"She promises." he said, I looked over to him surprised.
'Why?' I asked him. He didn't respond, he just stared. Not a glare just stared; it was like he was staring into my soul trying to determine something. I felt within his stare as though without meaning to he was telling me something. Telling me the truth of why he had helped me.
"Really Koda, you promise?" Botan asked. I turned to her smiling. I nodded before making the symbol of crossing my heart. I saw Botan smile brightly like I had just done something right. She rushed up and hugged me and I hugged her back. When she finally let go I walked over and stood next to Genkai and my sister.
"Lets go." Genkai said turning away towards walking out the door. Yukina immediately followed after her. I however stayed a moment more to do one thing I knew needed to be done.
'Thank you … Hiei.' I said not knowing if he would truly hear me then quickly went off following Genkai and my sister
