Zehn!

-Disclaimers and such in first chapter.–

The instant my head went under the water, by vision went from red to nearly pure black as if I was stuck in a cave. Slowly, swirls of purple and blue came into my vision. Valleys came into view. Finally, things made sense. I found myself strutting proudly through this world. As I continued walking, people seemed to appear out of nowhere; and not just any regular people, but demons. All sorts of different colors, shapes, sizes- eyes, horns, claws- scariness, weirdness, and some seemingly normal-looking ones, but their spirit energy was insurmountable!

I then recognized that most of the demons would look away in what seemed to be in fear of me when few others smiled and nodded towards me.

"Good evening, mistress." The attractive voice of Neo Shobi rang through my ears. As dearly as I wanted to feel scared and run away, I couldn't. I turned and looked up at him and into his cold blue eyes. He grabbed a hold of my hand and kissed the top of it gently.

"Good afternoon, sir." I found myself saying so kindly to him. However my voice sounded older and more secure, much unlike my voice back at home. It was as if I wasn't even me, as if I had no control of myself. I felt my fingers interlace with Neo's and we began to walk side by side. I definitely had no control over myself.

"What shall we do today, my love?" he asked, smiling down at me.

"Hm…" I put a finger to my chin and looked to the side, "Perhaps terrorize the humans some more? Or maybeee…" I paused for a moment, actually thinking. Is this where I actually spoke? "Just go home for a while." These words came out as I thought them. Maybe I could finally find out where this man was staying. However, I didn't even know where I was. Wait a minute… the Makai! Maybe if I watched my surroundings….

"Sounds lovely to me." He smiled and picked me up gently before running off.

For some reason my eyes were still able to keep up with what passed us by. Some weird shops with Japanese scribbling on them, a tall tower with a squiggly engraving… I could definitely remember that. I looked up to the sky and saw a white swirling cloud. It reminded me of a tornado. My head began to spin as I felt him set me down. I looked at what was in front of me and it was a huge mansion looking building, its colors made of black and red. My head became fuzzier and I was actually allowed to move my hand to my head at a last attempt to provide comfort for myself.

"Mistress? My lady, are you okay?" his voice was muffled. My vision became blurry and I closed my eyes for a mere second. As I did this I felt myself fall forward.

Abigail sat up out of the water screaming bloody murder, her eyes wide and skin paler then ever. She panted heavily, begging for more air to her lungs. Her breathing began to slow as she put her hands to her face,

"Holy fucking shit…" she muttered, her voice shaken.

"You okay?" Hiei's sexy rough voice found its way to her ears and she snapped her head to the side to look at him sitting on her toilet. She shook her head side to side quickly,

"No. No. Not at all." She sighed, slowly laying back into the water.

"You woke everyone up." He said.

"I know. Yusuke's on his way to my room." She said. She sat forward and took out the tub plug, stood up, wrapped herself with her towel, and ran to her door. As soon as her hand landed on the doorknob the pounding started. She opened her door and stood in front of Yusuke, looking up at him.

"Hi." She said hesitantly.

"Are you okay? What were you screaming about?" Yusuke asked her.

"Um… I…" she put a hand on the back of her head as she looked down at the floor. –Think quickly, Abby…- she thought to herself, "There was a spider in my tub, she said, looking up at him with a small smile and a hint of blush on her cheeks.

"Are you kidding me?" Yusuke burst out laughing, "You're scared of spiders?!" at this point he had to hold himself up on the door frame to keep from doubling over in laughter. Abby glared at him with a small pout and a swish of her tail before slamming the door in his face.

"Spiders are scary…" she muttered to herself, turning around to head back to her bathroom. She wasn't surprised at all when Hiei wasn't in there anymore. She dropped the towel and ran a brush through what little hair she had now, examining her scar in the mirror. She ran her finger along the edges of it and let out a sigh, "What could have happened to us that made you go from loving me to wanting to rip my heart out, Neo Shobi?" she shook her head and slipped back into her pajamas.

She walked out of her bathroom and went over to her bed to see a beautiful surprise. There on her blanket lay a fully bloomed red rose. She picked it up gently and smelt it, smelling both the pollen and a hint of Hiei, "Where could he have gotten a rose from…?" she asked herself, half sarcastically, with a smile, "He and Kurama must be pretty damn close." She spoke softly. She sat down on her bed, taking another whiff of the rose before setting it on her night stand. At that moment she decided to get up and go to her brother's room.

They spoke for a while, most of it arguing about her decisions and how she had no power over him. After a bit more discussion and Abigail expressing her worry about Neo Shobi attacking him to get back at her, they came to a slight agreement. He decided he'd leave that night and go to a familiar friend's house- if the man was still living there 50 years later- and stay there. Jordan stormed out, his things packed, and muttering German curses under his breath. He had obeyed his twin's wishes but was NOT happy about it. Once he was gone, Abby decided to go explain herself to Genkai before going to bed.


Genkai took a small sip of the tea she had in front of her, deep in thought. What Abigail had done had shown that she had little faith in their ability to protect the twins. However, she also had a point- Jordan couldn't even speak English and he didn't need any training because his memory was back and full.

Deep inside Genkai was afraid that Neo Shobi would try something more violent and rash next time he came around too. There had to be something that she could do to keep him from interfering with Abigail's work. Her train of thought was cut off by Riokushin's voice,

"Genkai?" he spoke. She opened her eyes to glare at him sitting across from her.

"What do you want?" she snapped.

"No need to be so harsh!" he said, putting his hands up in defense, a large smile upon his lips. She sighed and took another sip of her tea. Rio's smile quickly faded into a serious stern look, "There's nothing you can do. She's going to do what he says, or she'll be tortured. I don't know exactly what he wants with her now… she was living a normal life until he started looking for her again.

Once he found out she was alive he felt the need to kill her… again. I don't even know exactly what she did in the first place to anger him so. I know they got into a huge fight about wanting to destroy human kind or something along those lines. See… Neo Shobi had this treasure he had inherited from our mother. Why he got it I'm not sure. Probably because he appeared to be more… evil then I." he took in a deep breath, now having Genkai's full attention, "I was never informed as to what all that crystal did, but I do know that it was very powerful. Kind of like a Genie's lamp I suppose. Only instead of three wishes you got one. Now I'm not entirely sure, but… I think Abigail had that when they were fighting for those six and a half hours."

"Do you think Neo Shobi still has it?" Genkai asked.

"I really think so. I think I saw him take it off from around her neck when she was… well… dead." He sighed, "But… I'm not entirely sure." He rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Is your mother still alive?"

"Oh, hell no. Otherwise Neo wouldn't have gotten the crystal. That was our mother's life. She used it to have power over most of the Makai. But when she knew her time had come she gave what she had to Neo and I." he nodded slowly, "Sorry if it's not much help, but I figured I'd tell you. It just came to mind right before I found you."

"That does help a little. Thank you, Riokushin." She nodded, "You were always more kind and helpful then your brother."

"Thus more weak." He laughed a stood, stretching, "I think I should get my rest." He walked away silently, his hands behind his back. Once he was out of sight Genkai let out a sigh,

"More weak on the outside, maybe. But you hold more then you know in that golden eye your mother gave you." Genkai closed her eyes and took yet another sip of her tea, "How else do you think you got on probation?"


Abigail woke before sunrise and got dresses in tight, yet flexible jeans and a black tank top. She walked over to her balcony and opened her windows all the way, taking in a deep breath of the early morning air. She stepped over to the railing and leaned against it, looking down at the dew covered grass. For some reason she was so happy this morning she couldn't even sleep. She walked away form the balcony and over to a black hard case she hadn't opened sense she had arrived here. She set it down gently and unhooked all four latches. She opened it slowly and examined her black acoustic guitar that had unique silver designs on it. A small smile crossed her lips as she pulled it out and walked over to her bed. She sat down and held the guitar so familiarly. She quickly tuned it, and then thought of a song to play. Once she thought of one, her smile grew and she cleared her throat. She took in a deep breath and began to sing strongly. As she played and sang the sun started to rise and lit her and her room up brightly, making her all the happier.

"There is this thing that's like fucking except you don't fuck.

Back in the day it just went without saying it all.

All of the world's history's gradually dying of shock.

There is this thing that's like talking except you don't talk.

You… sing.

Sing for the bartender, sing for the janitor, sing.

Sing for the camera, sing for the animals, sing.

Sing for the children shooting the children, sing.

Sing for the teachers who told you that you couldn't sing.

Just… sing.

There is this thing keeping everyone's lungs and lips locked

It is called fear, and it's seeing a great renaissance.

After the show you cannot sing wherever you want.

But for now let's just pretend we're all going to get bombed.

So… sing.

Sing 'cause it's obvious, sing for the astronauts, sing.

Sing for the president, sing for the terrorists, sing.

Sing for soccer team, sing for the ganja weed, sing.

Sing for the kid on the phone who refuses to sing.

Just… sing.

Just… sing.

Ohh, life is no cabaret.

Ohh, we don't care what you say.

Ohh, we're invading you anyway.

Ohh, you mother fuckers will sing some day.

Ohh, you mother fuckers will sing some day.

Ohh, you mother fuckers will sing some day"-[by The Dresden Dolls]

Abby took in a deep breath through her nose and let out a sigh, "Today's going to be a good day." She nodded, "I hope, anyways." She stood up, gently placing her guitar back in its case and closed it up. She walked out of her room and down to the kitchen hoping that food was already made, and she was right. Everyone was sitting down, food just ready in front of them. Abby took her seat, still unable to stop smiling.

"Well, good morning." Yusuke said, smiling at her, "What's got you so cheery?"

"It's my birthday today." She shrugged with a smile, "Always seems to put me in a good mood." She said before starting to eat.

"Well in that case… happy birthday!" Kurama smiled. The others, aside from Hiei of course, said their 'happy birthday's to her as well.

"Thank you, guys." She said, blushing slightly. She finished up her breakfast and put her dishes in the sink.

"I didn't know you played the guitar, Abigail." Yukina smiled.

"Oh. Sorry if I woke you guys up this morning with that." Abby said, rubbing the back of her head gently and swishing her tail back and forth.

"No not at all." Kurama smiled, "We were all awake already."

"Speak for yourself." Kuwabara grumbled. Abby laughed loudly,

"Oh, well if it was just you then there's no need to apologize." She smiled widely.

"Hey!!" Kuwabara protested.

"Well, Abby. What do you want to do today?" Botan asked.

"Oh, nothing. Just no training would be nice." She giggled. Botan and Yukina looked at each other and smiled.

"We'll take you out for a bit!" Botan jumped out of her chair in excitement.

"Out…?" Abby asked.

"Yes." Yukina nodded, "It'll be fun." She smiled sweetly.

"Well… I guess." Abby said hesitantly with a shrug. Botan and Yukina grabbed her and hurried out of the temple, giggling. The boys sat in the silent kitchen now, very confused.


A few hours out in the town and Abby, Botan and Yukina were all dressed up in oriental dresses and a soft touch of make-up. Nothing real excessive. Botan was wearing a pink and white dress, Yukina wore teal and white, and Abby wore dark blue and white. People in the town just believed Abby's ears and tail to be fake accessories. The girls made their way up the stone steps- that no longer seemed so horrifying to Abby anymore- and walked into the temple.

"So what all do you play?" Botan asked out of the blue.

"Hm…?" Abby turned and looked up at the bubbly girl, "Besides guitar?" she asked and received a nod, "I also play bass and piano. I was dead set on getting into a band when I was back at home." She said, and suddenly her insides tightened. She hadn't even thought of that place in at least a month. She quickly shook the thought off, not wanting that of all things to bring her down on her birthday.

"Piano, huh?" Yukina asked, looking over at Botan with a smile.

"Yeah. I love the sound of it. Nearly as beautiful as an acoustic." She smiled.

"Well, hey. How about you go show off for a bit, while Yukina and I go and shop for presents?" Botan smiled.

"Presents? Oh, there's no need for that. I think you two have spent enough on me today." She said, blushing madly.

"Oh, don't be silly." Botan giggled, "Be back in a few!" she smiled and the two ran out the door.

"Grand…" she sighed heavily, "I don't want to be spoiled." She frowned. She quickly found her way to her room, a bag full of her clothes she was previously wearing, and more make-up the girls had bought her tight in her hand. Thankfully, no one saw her on her way to her room. She shut the door and let out a strong sigh of relief before smiling widely. "Happy birthday to me, I guess." She giggled. She tossed the bag on to her bed and went into her bathroom to look herself over, "Not too much, surprisingly enough." She smiled at her reflection before walking back out.

Abby walked on to her balcony again, still having not closed her windows. She looked along the land, unable to stop smiling, "This is one of the best birthdays by far."

"Still several hours to go." Hiei rough voice sent shivers down her spine. This time she didn't jump or shriek to his sudden appearance by her side.

"I know… but it's already better." She looked at him and smiled, even though he was just staring ahead, "Thanks for the rose." She said, getting him to look over at her and nod, "How'd you know it was my birthday?" she questioned. This made him smirk and look ahead again,

"Hn. Lucky guess." He said coldly.

"Whatever." She muttered, sticking her tongue out at him for a second. Today felt so unreal to her. No training, no troubles, not too terrible of memories… she loved it. She looked out to the trees that her and Hiei use to train in.

"You… look nice." Hiei forced out. His few words caused her to smile again and blush a little. Being nice wasn't exactly his forte, but it was true- the dress definitely defined her curves. Somehow it got Hiei to want her even more, thus more reason to hold back. He wasn't used to this at all.

"Thanks." She said softly, more so then usual. Hiei felt a soft growl escape through his lips and he couldn't help but pin her again the nearest wall and kiss her roughly. Abby kissed him back just as rough before grabbing a chunk of his hair to pull his head away. Hiei was confused for a small moment until he felt her teeth cling onto his neck hard. These actions only caused him to growl again and bite her back, trying hard not to sink his fangs in. Abby let go of his neck to let out a soft moan and barely mutter, "Harder…"

"No." Hiei said roughly, pulling back a little to look hard into her eyes. This scared her a little, -How did I make him angry?- she thought. "Later…" he managed to let out before vanishing.

"I absolutely hate that." She sighed, "Get a girl all excited and wet, then disappear…" she muttered and walked back into her room, "Though I do suppose it's okay… it is only two." She shrugged, and then felt her stomach growl loudly.


After Abby had gotten some lunch she ended up finding Kurama and chatting with him for a while. He was hiding something and she new it. Sometimes she really hated surprises, but he said it'd make her night so… she hoped it wasn't too much. Eventually she had talked with everyone a little bit. She never realized how little she knew everyone. They were all set on training her and trying to find a way to fend off Neo that she never really got to know them for them. A couple hours later and Botan and Yukina finally got back, but they had Yusuke take her into her room for a while. This is when she got her chance to get to know him a little better.

She had no idea that this kid had been dead before. None the less that he had gone through so much shit with his childhood and his current life. She and Yusuke had always gotten along so well, but still… she never really knew him. Yet he knew her before he even met her. This was all kind of depressing.

"Yusuke! Abigail! We're ready!!" Botan's voice carried down the hall. The two stood and walked casually out of her room. Abby stopped in her steps, making Yusuke stop right behind her, confused. She turned around quickly and gave him a big hug, surprising him. He smiled slightly and hugged her back,

"What was that for?" he asked, laughing a bit until he saw her watery eyes, "Abb…" he frowned.

"In a sense… I hope this adventure never ends." She said. She smiled up at him, before turning back around and walking into the room everyone was in- even Hiei.

The room was decorated in blue and white ribbons and balloons. On the table sat a raspberry swirl cheesecake. This cake she had mentioned to Botan and Yukina earlier that day, saying that every year she always got one no matter how terrible her step-father tried to make her day. Finally, past everyone she saw what took Botan and Yukina so long to get back. There stood a beautifully new and polished large piano. Abby's cheeks turned a bright red and she quickly ran over to Yukina and Botan, giving them a large hug, "Thank you guys so much!" she exclaimed.

"Well you mentioned that you play piano, so we thought we'd get you one." Yukina smiled softly. Abby made her way to the piano and traced her fingers along the soft polished wood.

"Must have cost you a fortune…" she muttered.

"Don't worry about that." Genkai spoke roughly, looking at Botan with a small glare. The girl had 'borrowed' some money from the old woman, but promised to pay her back. Botan smiled sheepishly at Genkai.

"Go on. Play something!" Kuwabara shouted.

"Well, I don't know…" she blushed.

"They did spend quite a lot on it, I think you should." Kurama said softly with a smile. Abby rubbed the back of her head and took a seat in front of the beauty. She placed her fingers upon the piano before she started to play 'Tonight, Tonight' by Smashing Pumpkins. [I know it's not all piano in the song, but she makes it that way. =P]

"Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe, believe in me, believe
That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same, we're different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight

And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me, believe
In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there's not a chance tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight

We'll crucify the insincere tonight
We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
We'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight"

As the friends clapped Abby started up one more song, just out of habit. This time she decided to play 'Modern Moonlight' by the Dresden Dolls.

"Presenting modern moonlight just as advertised
Coke and Pepsi finally found a compromise
How can they complain that we're all fucked up kids
When they keep on changing who our mother is?

Like it all you want it's fruitless
Night is in the way of progress

Retinas are bleeding for the enterprise
Surgically wired into paradise
Yesterday I dropped in at the MKB
Everyone was messaging like it was going out of style
(it was just the cynic in me)
God, I love communicating!
I just hate the shit we're missing...

Everybody join in the magnificence
Yes! Everything is absolutely making sense:
Every time you turn around your soul gets sold
To the highest bidder
Then they turn around and merger and they merger
And the merger and they murder and they murder
The one who murders most will take it all...

Fight it all you want it's useless
Night is in the way of progress

We're gonna take your cities one by one
Catch your cables cut your cords and spoil all your fun
We're gonna make your life a living hell
Cause stripped of your equipment you'll be forced to face yourself...

Wire cutters of the world
You know what to use it for
Spread the word to all the tightrope walker boys and girls
Brace yourself for miracles
You're in for a nasty shock
When the war is over
You can read the paper"

Abby let out a sigh as she sat down. She had stood up near the beginning of the song out of excitement. She turned around on the chair and grinned at the others finishing their clapping, "That good enough?" she giggled, slightly out of breath.

"Oh, Abby, that was amazing!" Botan exclaimed and ran over to her to pounce her.

"Um… thank you…?" she laughed with a sweat drop, "Shall we cut into the cake now?" she asked.

Abby cut up the cheesecake evenly and dished it out for everyone, serving herself last. At this point, Hiei had disappeared. –Well at least he stayed for the songs.- Abby thought with a smile. Once she finished up her slice she put her plate in the sink before walking out of the kitchen. As she walked down the hallway she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around slowly to see Kurama's deep green eyes staring into her own, with a gentle smile on his lips, "Yes?" she asked, smiling back.

"Come with me?" he asked. Abby nodded and followed him as he walked out of the temple. The quiet, darkened outdoors made Abby smile even more.

"It's a beautiful night." She said softly, "So what's going on? I knew you were keeping something from me earlier." She giggled.

"Someone has a surprise for you." He said.

"More surprises? I nearly died seeing that piano in there." She laughed. Kurama chuckled,

"Yes. Well this is less expensive, and more… well you'll have to see." He smiled as he led her into the trees.

"We aren't training tonight are we?" she whined, making Kurama laugh,

"No, no… though you should head in to where you would go if you were to be doing such a thing." He nodded before turning and walking away.

"Wait… Kurama!" he voice didn't stop him and he soon disappeared from her sight. She let out a sigh, and did as she was told, being very careful not to trip and fall. That wouldn't be a good way to walk into a surprise, covered in dirt and leaves and such.

As she entered the clearing she saw Hiei sitting by a fire on a large blanket, poking at some meat cooking on a metal pan over the fire. The way the light of the fire danced on his face made Abby feel like she wasn't even there- like she was watching him from a distance. Hiei looked up at her and smirked,

"Going to take a seat?" he asked in his rough voice. Abby nodded slowly and walked over to sit next to him. Hiei wasn't dressed completely in his normal clothes. The pants, yes… but instead of his cloak he wore a lose black muscle shirt.

"What's that?" she asked, pointing at what he was now flipping over and making sizzle.

"Wagyu beef…" he said plainly. He took a pair of chop sticks and grabbed a small piece of it that was obviously done. He blew it off a little before pointing the chopstick near her mouth. Abby smiled slightly and took the bite. She chewed it for a while, soaking in the flavor of the meat then swallowed with a smile.

"Delicious." She nodded.

"Hn." Hiei smirked a little again as he flipped the pieces of meat on last time, "I should hope."

"This really doesn't seem like your kind of thing. Food, fire, blanket, romantic kind of thing. Even if it is my birthday…" Abby noted.

"Kurama's idea." He stated plainly, not looking at her but instead staring into the fire. She examined his expressionless face for a short moment before speaking again,

"Well in any case, I do like it." This time she looked away and into the fire.

Hiei glanced at her from the corner of his eye before putting the pieces of meat on a near by plate. He took the pan off of the fire to hang it on a small branch by the hook on the handle. He handed her a pair of chopsticks and actually turned to face her. He took his own pair of utensils to take a piece of meat and shove it into his mouth. Abby watched him for a second before doing the same. They ate the few pieces of meat in silence.

"Hiei… do you have anything to drink by chance?" she asked, blushing a little. Hiei chuckled quietly and turned his body around for a second before turning back around with a bottle of sake in one hand and two dishes in the other. He set the dishes on the empty plate and filled both glasses. "Kurama's idea again?" she giggled.

"Don't give that fox all the credit." He said coldly but with a small smirk.

"Oh. Sorry." She laughed nervously. They each picked up their glass and took a sip. Abby couldn't help but lick her lips to the delightful taste. After another glass or two in quiet Abigail decided to break the silence. "Why do you keep running away?" she asked. Hiei looked up from his cup and raised an eyebrow at her. "Well, last time I understand… but you keep running off without a word." She couldn't help but tell him what she said to herself earlier, "I mean… get a girl all excited and wet, then disappear like that." As she spoke she played with a loose string on the blanket. She looked up at Hiei and actually saw him blushing. She couldn't help but smile at this.

She leaned forward into him, careful of their cups, and kissed him gently. For once he didn't kiss her roughly, but just as tender. As she was about to pull away, he softly cupped the back of her neck and had her lean in for another gentle kiss. She felt her face turn a light shade of red as she pulled away to look into his red eyes.

"I'm…" Hiei spoke quietly, unsure what to tell her. He swallowed hard and clenched his teeth for a moment, "Not used to this…" he finally said.

"Not used to what?" she asked curiously, "Liking a girl?" she inquired. Hiei looked to the side, a hint of blush still on his soft cheeks. "Wow. Really? Well you're pretty damn good at it. Aside form the running away thing." She said chucking quietly, trying to relieve the tension. She moved the plate and cups off to the side before scooting in closer to him, causing him to look at her. She looked into his eyes and took a deep breath, waiting for him to say something. He looked away from her eyes to examine her carefully before looking back into the crystal blue orbs of hers. Again the growl came from deep in his chest and he moved quickly, pinning her to the ground, making sure his grip on her wrists weren't too tight. He leaned down slowly to the side of her face,

"Is outside fine this time?" he purred in her ear. She closed her eyes and smiled,

"Of course. There's actually a blanket out here." She giggled and turned her head to the side to kiss him. He kissed back, a bit rougher this time and let go of her wrists to slip his hands behind her. As she opened her mouth for him she felt him slowly unzip her dress. Before she'd let him slip it off of her shoulders, she pushed him away slightly to pull off his shirt and reveal those muscles she was never able to keep her eyes off of from the very start. He smirked at her expression and quickly relieved her of her tight dress. All that remained was the black thong underneath. He leaned in again to press his lips against her and eventually fight her tongue with his. She felt his hands begin to explore her body, thus exploring his in return. She unclipped all of his belts before succeeding in getting them off from around his waist. In a quick movement from him, his pants were completely off along with his boots without having to ever part his lips from hers. Abby pulled back from him after a while to catch her breath and try to relieve some of the heat being produced from his body.

"Can't help it." He purred again into her ear, "What would you expect from a fire apparition?" She could tell by the tone in his voice that he was smirking.

"Yes…" she said quietly, "But I don't think the fire right there is exactly helping." She stated. He chuckled a bit before making a swift movement with his hand to put out the fire. "Much better." She smiled before slipping the last piece of clothing she had on, off. She moved quickly without him noticing at first, to pin him down so she was on top. She leaned in quickly to bite onto his neck roughly.

"Abigail…" he growled, "I'd be careful with that if I were you."

"Why?" she asked after she let go of his neck.

"I ran off earlier because…" he swallowed, again unsure how to say anything, "I would have marked you right then and there." He stated before kissing her collar bone gently. She sat up and looked down at him,

"Marked me?" she questioned. Hiei watched her for a moment before sitting up to where her breasts barely touched his chest. The feeling of his warm skin on her nipples made them even harder. He opened his mouth slightly to show her one of his fangs, pointing at it with his tongue.

"Marked you… as my mate." He said slowly.

"That's why you wouldn't bite me harder…" she muttered, "So… you don't want me… in that way?" she asked, looking away. He gently grabbed her chin and turned her head to look at him again,

"Do you really believe I'd be doing all this is if I didn't?" he smirked slightly, causing her to smile. He leaned in to her to brush his lips against her gently for a small moment, "That is… if you want." He purred, his eyes now closed as he gently kissed her along her neck.

"Will it… hurt?" she asked quietly.

"Not if it's done at the right time…" he said, continuing with the purr in his voice.

"And that time would be…?" she asked.

"Do you really want to?" he asked not looking up at her, but instead resting his sweat-spotted forehead on her collar bone, "I could wait…" his last few words had traces of disappointment in them.

"No…" she said softly, nuzzling her forehead into his hair, "Tonight… is a very good night." She kissed the top of his head before speaking again, "Will you let me know before you do it?" she asked. He shook his head,

"You'd be expecting pain. Maybe if I don't you won't even notice." He lifted his head to kiss her neck again, "Alright?" She nodded with a smile,

"Alright." She said. She felt him cup under her breast and move his head further down to latch onto her nipple with his lips and began to softly suck on it, causing her to moan. He pulled back and flipped her over so he was on top yet again. He slid his hand down to make sure she was wet enough before putting a hand on each of her hips. He moved himself down a bit more before gently pushing himself inside of her, causing them both to let out a moan. She wrapped her legs around his waist, making him go in deeper. This caused him to let out a little bit louder of a moan. He quickly picked up the pace, wanting to hear her scream like she couldn't when they were inside. Satisfied with her screams he leaned in, not slowing down his pace at all, and sunk his teeth into her flesh. This only made her scream again in pleasure and dig her nails into his back, making him groan and push in deeper. The taste of her blood was even sweeter from the neck…


Hiei lay on his back with his pants back on and his arms wrapped around Abby who was laying her head on his chest, listening to his heart beat fast. She was still just as naked as before and curled up tight to him.

"Hiei…" she spoke softly, causing him to look down at her,

"Hn?" he mumbled, starting to get tired.

"Don't leave me tonight…" she said, tracing a finger along his chest.

"Wouldn't dream of it…" he muttered. As soon as he spoke those words, she was out like a light.


The only thing that woke up Abby that morning was the brilliant sunlight on her face. She opened her eyes barely, and noticed that she was in her bedroom, under her blankets. –But… he said…- she frowned hard and turned to lay on her other side, both in frustration and to get her eyes away form the light shining in her face. To her surprise, once she turned she saw Hiei seemingly dead asleep next to her. She smiled, slightly embarrassed at her own thought, and curled up to him having him have his arm around her. As careful as she was to not wake him, she failed.

"Ohayou…" he mumbled and opened one eye to look down at her.

"Morning." She replied, remembering some of her Japanese class again, "Sorry if I woke you." She smiled. He shook his head in confusion and reached over to her nightstand to put on a silver bracelet,

"What?" he asked.

"Oh. I said 'Morning. Sorry if I woke you.'" She smiled.

"Hn." He shook his head before kissing the top of her head.

"So…" she hesitated, "What happened to marking me?" she asked. Hiei couldn't help but laugh a little,

"I told you… you wouldn't feel it if I did it right, onna." He smirked.

"What?" she frowned, trying hard to remember. He nodded and traced a finger along the left side of her neck. There were four small puncture wounds, still a bit sore to the touch.

"Made you all the more excited." He purred.

"Crazy…" she muttered. She was amazed at how much he was actually talking this morning and last night. Not only that but he actually stuck to his word and didn't leave her this morning or last night. "Wait a minute… when did we get up here? I'm sure I wasn't that drunk." She frowned up at him. He shook his head,

"You were shaking around 2 this morning and making me cold." He said.

"Oh…" she kissed his chest gently and decided to tease him a little. She moved her tail up to his crotch and rubbed him through his pants. He growled deeply and ran his claws gently across her back,

"Wanting more already?" he asked roughly.

"I might be a little sore, but yes." She smirked. At this reply he pinned her to the bed and pushed his body against her still naked one.
