Chapter 10 – The Look In Those Eyes
"Surely, Setara isn't a shy girl." Keiko said thoughtfully.
"Yeah, she says what she thinks. Now, let's go home." Yusuke added.
"Okay. Hey, Sandra, we'll walk you home, okay?" Anna asked.
"I have no home, Anna… I got evicted today." Sandra whispered.
"WHAT!" Setara yelled.
"I… couldn't afford my flat, so… I got evicted."
"Why didn't you tell us, Venus?"
"Hey, since we're staying with the guys, you can have our house, right, Anna?" Setara asked.
"Good idea!"
"You really would do that for me? Thank you, guys!" Sandra cried happily, her brown eyes shining with tears.
"Now that's settled, where are Marco and Will?" Anna asked, implying the drummer and the bass-guitarist.
"We're here." The two guys said, as they walked into the room.
"Hey, Sandra, do you know you look sexy when you're a pixy?" Marco asked.
"Aw, you shouldn't stare that much, your eyes will drop out, sweetheart." Sandra answered, flying around.
"They're always doing this, but deep down, they love each other." Anna said amusedly, earning a glare from the pair, which she ignored.
"Hey, Setara darling, you still don't want to go out with me?" Will asked, completely oblivious to the fact that Hiei had unsheathed his katana, ready to kill.
"Listen here, Will. You know it all too well I never had any interest in you, and besides, I'm already marked." Setara said quietly.
"What! You're marked!" Will shouted.
"YOU'RE MARKED!" Everybody shouted at Setara.
"WIIIIIILL!" She screamed, summoning her sword. Hiei and her started chasing him around the room. After a few minutes, Setara stopped, and watched Hiei amusedly.
"What do you find so funny, onna!" He asked irritated.
"Possessive!" Setara said, a bit hurt at her mate calling her woman, but smiled nonetheless as Hiei "Hn"-ed, and stopped chasing poor Will.
Soon, they started heading home, and parted from Sandra at Setara's and Anna's old house. The two guys walked off to different directions, and the gang walked on, towards the big mansion.
Once Setara and Hiei were in their room, the fire demon held her against the door, and they started making out wildly.
(A/N: You know what happened here, don't you? Well, Hiei got what he wanted.)
"Morning…" Setara greeted, as she woke up.
"Hn." Hiei answered, not even bothering to look at her.
"Hey, what's up with you, you're acting all snappy today."
There was no answer, Hiei just walked out of the room.
"Seems like he wants to be alone…" Setara shrugged then went to eat breakfast.
She found that no one was there, except her, Hiei, Botan and Yukina, because the others were in school. She couldn't find Hiei anywhere, so she joined Botan and Yukina watching TV.
Soon, she started to get worried. She hasn't seen Hiei all day; he didn't even come in for lunch and dinner.
'He must be in that forest… Kurama told me he likes to take walks there.' She thought and walked outside.
In the forest with Hiei
'Finally, stupid mating season is over. Damn that onna! I couldn't restrain myself from biting her. She doesn't seem to regret it…' Hiei thought as he walked in the dark forest. It was already evening. 'But what about me? Am I regretting choosing her as my mate? After all… I was in desperate need because of that stupid mating season. Damn it, Setara. I don't want to hurt you, but I don't know how I feel. I don't know if this feeling is just pure lust or… something else. Damn it, stupid feelings, they keep…'
Suddenly, Setara landed on front of him in her demon form. She transformed back, and desperately searched for the fire apparition's gaze, but he kept looking away.
"Hiei? Are you all right?" Setara asked. "You've been outside all day…"
"None of your business." Hiei said, turning away from the concerned purple eyes. He tried his best to suppress his guilt.
"Is it something about me? You can tell me, and I'll try my best to change it… Whatever is bothering you, I'm sure we can work it out together."
There was no answer; Hiei pretended that the little gray pebble on the ground was the most interesting thing he ever saw.
"I can wait. Tell me when you start to trust your own mate." Setara turned around and started to walk away, wiping a lone tear from her eye.
'SHIT!' Hiei cursed in his mind. He did notice the girl wiping away that tear. 'Don't shed a tear for me, Setara.' He thought. He decided to sleep outside that day. And for the rest of his life too…
Setara didn't sleep at night. She was up waiting for Hiei to return, but he didn't.
'Is it possible he's regretting choosing me as his mate? But… he bit down on my neck. I really thought he wanted me to be his mate. Honestly, Hiei, did you even realize what've you done? Because I did.'
Finally she fell asleep at around five o' clock.
