Chapter 10

Do I lover her?

He departed her lips and was glad to see she had not wakened.

As he was leaving the room he felt a presence outside the window.

"Hn…?"

He went over to the window and opened it. As he did a rush of wind blew the shutter open.

Hiei quickly ran over to Vine to protect her.

"Kissing her goodnight? Tell me one thing why do you protect her so?" asked a female voice coming from the outside.

"My reasons should not be of concern to you."

He said in his harsh voice.

"Face it Hiei you only want to get near her to take the crown as King of demon world. If it weren't for my work she would still be living with that dreadful human family."

"So it was you who killed her family…you made her suffer the way she did! How could you, you heartless whore!"

"Ha, like you have never hurt anyone to get what you want."

"Hn…"

Hieis furry was growing by the minute.

"Why don't you show yourself if you have such a high pride! "

"I will appear very soon, you must not worry about that Hiei, worry about the girl she's my target."

"HN…while I'm here you shall not get near her, you hear that, you touch her and I will kill you.!"
"Temper Temper, Hiei, do not worry about me killing her, that is not my plan. Worry more about the truths she shall find out in the future…mostly the truth about you wanting to get close to her to take the throne as king. "

"Those are not my intentions! I would never do that to her but mark my words you shall pay for her parents murder, you brutal Bitch!"

With another large gust of wind the shutters shut closed and the voice said one more thing.

"This is the beginning Hiei, Beware."

As the shutters closed Vine woke.

"Is something the matter Hiei?"

He turned to look at her with the softest look in his eyes.

"Yea, everything is fine…"

"For now" he said to himself.

"Hm…Were did everyone go?"

"Sweat drop well you kind of got really drunk and well I brought you home"

She stood up from bed.

"Really I don't feel sick at all"

About two seconds later she was in the garbage can emptying her stomach contents out.

"Ah, shit…I'm never drinking again"

"You just have to learn to hold your liquor."

After she was done vomiting her guts out Hiei helped her into the bathroom to shower.

It was four in the morning when Vine was done taking a shower. For a while there Hiei had thought she had fallen asleep in the shower.

"Feel better?" he asked as she opened the door of her room when she was done.

"A bit…damn getting wasted isn't all that much fun as they say it is"

"HN…smirk come on get to bed because tomorrow we have thing to do…well in a couple of hours we do"

"You know what funny…when I was sleeping I felt something warm on my lips. I can't make out what it was though."
Hiei though make out and blushed.

"Uh…who knows?"

Vine lay in bed for a while and then turned to look at Hiei who was taking his shirt off making Vine blush ten shades of red.

"Hurry up I'm cold!" she said covering herself with some more blankets.

"Hn…I don't take orders"

"Oh yea…Hiei come here now"

Hiei walked over to her with a face of oh no you didn't (in a boy's way)

"Scoot over…"

He got into bed with her and put an arm over her.

Her cold skin, send shivers up his spine.

"You're freezing!"

Slowly he released a small heat wave to warm her body up.

"Wow I didn't know you could do that. Thanks, I'm warmer now"

"Hn…"

"Hey Hiei…"

"What?"

"Why was Yuskue saying you're mean half the time and that you are never nice?"

"Because Yuskue is a dumb ass"

"Oh…I'm sorry if I caused him to say that"

"You didn't cause him to say it…see I'm different with you because…were alike in some ways…with them I've just been there because I have too"

"Oh yea you were one day a great bandit…I still remember"

"HN…well lets get some sleep because I need to go buy some things for later"

"Ok, Ok then…well tonight was fun I guess…if you like vomiting and drinking…but good night"

She reached up and kissed Hiei on the cheek.

Hiei looked down at her. She just pulled the covers more on them and snuggled against Hiei for warmth.

"Goodnight Vine"

"Night Hiei" as they fell into the sleep slumber a figure outside looked upon them with evil red eyes.

"Sleep well Vine, hell is coming soon" then disappeared into the darkness of the night.

Both vine and Hiei woke at 12 in the afternoon.

"What time is it?"

Hiei looked over at the counter the clock red 12:05

"Its noon…Come on lets get up we have some shopping to do"

"Aw it's my birthday cant we stay in today?"

"No we need to buy a couple of things then Koenma wants to see you in his palace."

"Where's that at?"

"It's in spirit world."

"Oh…what for?"

"Don't know he called while you were drinking yesterday"

"Oh…don't remind me…"

"HN…Well I'm going to shower and I'll see you downstairs in a couple of minutes ok?"

"Ok…do I need to wear anything formal?"

"Hn…"

"Is that I don't care or I don't know?"

"That's an Hn"

"Hiei...Hiei?"

He just ignored her and took his towel and left.

"Hey…you didn't answer my question."

Hiei thought of how he was going to by the necklace without her there.

"Ill leave her in a shop and run to the store buy it them come back…Wont take long since I can use my demon speed"

He shampooed his hair and washed his hot ass body with Dove soap.

"That's what ill do I guess."

He remembered a couple of hours ago when he'd kissed her in her sleep.

"I shouldn't have done that…but I will get that bitch that killed her parents…damn this f feeling…Kurama loves Botan because she is able to make him different…he feels different around her…But I've only known Vine for a couple of days."

Flashback

"I guess I loved her right away but I did not realize it until that time Koenma was going to send her away on a mission far from me I Begged him not to send her away. She then asked me why I cared so much about her and I just blurted out I loved her"

End Flashback

"Is it possible I love her…you don't have to know someone for years in order to love her…"

Hiei was thrown out of his thought when he heard a knock on the door.

"Hey boy you've been in there for an hour already you ok?"

'Wow an hour…'

"Yea ill be right out…"

"Ok ill get the car started"

'Damn the car I didn't give it back to Kurama'

At Kurama's

"Hiei! My CAR!!" screamed Kurama inside the garage.
