Molly347 chapter 13 . Nov 16

More please! :)

Of course my dear Molly! This chapter's for you and Super-Nerd-yay! Hope you two enjoy it.

For now, the next few chapters will be about Sonya and Hiei adjusting (Awkwardly I might add) To their newfound companionship for each other. More being friendly and taunting and less of being rude and angry at this point. More angst to come soon, I promise, I'm just working out the minor kinks and details for it at the moment, so it'll be a bit calm compared to some of my earlier chapters. Bear with me tho! The best has yet to come.

And my insperation for this chapter (And probably a couple after) Will be coming from the H.I.M Dark Light album. If you want to listen to it, you can search once again on Youtube, there's a video on there with all of the songs.

Now then, onto the story!

I do not own YYH or the characters

I do however own Sonya as well as the plot

It took a full day of studying her victim to finally realize her plan wouldn't work. Of course, she didn't realize this until three things came to be very clear about him to her:

One: He always sat in the same tree every time he 'relaxed' (Really, it was a code word for nap in her opinion)

Two: His katana never left his side, even while sleeping.

Three: Napping or passed out in bed, never try to sneak around a Fire Demon, they wake very easily.

The third statement being the most recent bit of information she figured out, considering in her last attempt to steal his sharp and spointy, she now found herself pinned to the wall with said object pressed against her neck and a set of very pissed off red eyes narrowed and slightly fogged with sleep locked onto her face. "Hi... Hiei." She managed to get out, a wry smile on her face as she stared back at him, not sure if she should move or wait to see if he would let her go. While she watched him cautiously, Sonya saw a flicker of recognization cross his expression before being replaced with irritation. "What are you doing in my room, woman?" He asked blandly, pushing the blade against her neck a bit more beofre letting her go and stepping away.

"I was looking for something." She answered evasively, a had rubbing the small cut there with a scowl in his direction. "And what would you find in my room in the middle of the night?" One of his eyebrows raised, eyeing her for the moment then turning away to place his katana in it's shieth and placing it against the wall beside his bed, sitting on the edge of the mattress once finished. Hanging his hands between his legs where his arms rested on his knees, he turned expectant eyes to her as she figited slightly, still standing next to the wall he had shoved her against.

"I want my music player." Sonya finally snapped, mad she couldn't get anything away from the damn demon, her hands curling and uncurling as she waited for him to laugh at her. She knew he would, or snort at least, she never heard him really laugh. Not even a dark chuckle for that matter, yeah, he would snort and roll over on his bed with some demand she leave before he slices her to bits. "Hn. A deal then." His words snapped her head up to stare at him openly before feeling apprehension cloud her features. "A deal?"

"Simple, sleep in my bed. You can have it back. If you can stand being near me for so long, that is." He stated simply, a knowing glint in his eyes as he watched her. Feeling her spine stiffen slightly, Sonya scowled at Hiei, knowing full well he expected her to storm out of the room and forget the whole thing. Well she would show him! "Fine, move over." She snapped, already feeling her temper flare at the surprised glint to his eyes that was quickly replaced with his own glare in her direction. Without a word, he moved to the other side of the bed and laid down, an arm laying under his head for a pillow as he laid on his side facing away from her.

Silently fuming at her stupidity, Sonya kicked the slippers she wore from her feet and slipped into the unoccupied side of the bed, covering herself with the sheet to her eyes and glared at the door while she lay in a similar position as the man behind her was. "This is ridiculous. You could just give me the damn thing and we don't need to prove anything to each other." She snapped at the air, knowing full well he wasn't asleep. Feeling him shift behind her, Sonya tensed her muscles until he settled back down. "I don't plan on proving anything to you, woman. I want sleep and if you insist on continuing to sneak into my room at night to search for that damned device, we might as well come to a conclusion."

Bristling slightly, Sonya flipped over to glare at him, pushing herself up slightly onto her hands so she could look down at him instead of over at his infuriating smirk. "And me sleeping in your bed would solve this how?" Clenching her teeth tight enough to make them crack if they were so much as tapped, she hissed slightly at the flicker of amusement she spotted in the red eyes that gazed almost impassively at her. "You seem quite keen in coming in here lately. I only wished to extend my invitation considering you've been in here three times in the past two nights." Turning away, Sonya laid with her back to him again, hiding the flush that rose to her cheeks. Damn, I thought I had been sneaky too...

"Stupid Fire Demon." She muttered, ignoring the shuffling noise from behind her as she clenched her eyes shut, intent on somehow finding a way to fall asleep just to get away from the damn smirk she knew he was aiming at the back of her head. After several minutes of trying to force her body to relax, she couldn't, not with the knowledge he was right there. It was impossible to ignore the man considering he put off heat like a damn oven, it was no wonder he slept with only a sheet to cover him, a blanket would end up suffocating him. Shifting slightly, she tried to get into a more comfortable position only to have a hand grip her shoulder from behind and making her squeek slightly in alarm.

"Would you stop moving? It is impossible to go to sleep with you shifting around constantly." His voice hissed softly, the hand giving her shoulder a warning squeeze before letting go and vanishing once again. Glaring at the door again, Sonya froze her body and ignored the protests from her muscles when they began to ache from being held still for so long. "I can't go to sleep like this." She finally hissed quietly, rolling over onto her back and tipping her head to glare at the source of her discomfort to be met with a shocking picture.

Hiei sleeping calmly, a hand bent behind his head, arm tossed over his stomach, rising and following slightly with each slow breath he took. It took the shocked Shadow Maiden all of two seconds to realize he slept without a shirt, making her cheeks heat up at the realization and her eyes to avert from the expanse of skin and muscle up to his face, devoid of the usual scowl or blank expression he held. If anything, he looked innocent, adorable even with his face slack, mouth parted slightly and completely at ease. "Bastard." She muttered, digging her head farther into the pillow she was using, her eyes closing tight against her better judgement to keep examining him and a low sigh of relief, she flet herself finally drift off into the dark of her sleep.

"Mnnmm." Sonya moaned slightly, eyebrows bunching together against the unwelcome light that pressed against her eyelids. For once in her life she felt warm and comfortable, why did morning have to be so annoying?" Growling slightly under her breath, she burrowed further into the warm thing wrapped around her, unable to stop the purr of comfort that escaped from her lips. Morning... Hmmm

Snapping her eyes open, Sonya's gaze was met with a bare and very warm chest her cheek was pressed against. Feeling her throat constrict, she shifted her gaze upward cautiously and stared at Hiei's face. Still asleep, thank god. She breathed a soft sigh of relief and then frowned slightly, contemplating on exactly how to get out of his bed without waking him up and alerting the demon of how they ended up sleeping. Shifting slightly, she felt herself freeze when detail number four came startling clear about him.

Four: He didn't just sleep without a shirt, apparently he slept with nothing at all.

His leg wrapped over her top one, the other trapped between his thighs, it became very clear exactly how naked he was considering an interesting part of his body was pressed against said leg and rather awake at the moment. Stiffly trying to force down the heat that threatened to burst her face into flames, Sonya shifted again, trying to slip from his grip and away from the bed before he woke up. As she moved however, his arms tightened slightly, a low huff escaping from his parted lips as he pulled her back. Groaning to herself, she knew she couldn't just escape with the damn man wrapped around her like a vine. "Hiei." She hissed, trying to free a hand from his chest and shake him with it. "Hiei, wake up!"

Looking up at his face, she saw one red eye slit open and look down at her, a slight frown crossing his lips as he stared, his sleep-filled mind trying to process exactly what it was he was seeing before it hit him. Now both eyes opened and stared down at her cautiously, scanning her scowling expression as she pushed pointedly against his chest again. "Let go dammit."

Arms released her instantly as she pushed herself away and sat up, determidly not looking over at him as he shifted himself to lean up on his elbows, eyes still cautious while he watched her. "What? You keep staring at me like your expecting to be hit." Sonya snapped, arms folding over her chest as she shot a sharp look over at him, eyebrows pulled together in the center tightly. "Hn." He grunted before turning and sitting up on the other side of the bed, the sheet falling away from his form, giving her a view of his backside while he leaned a head into his hand, running it through his hair lightly.

"Whatever. I'm going to get some food." Sonya scowled, standing up and making her way towards the door, not even sure exactly why she was angry at him to begin with. Of course I'm angry at him! It was his damn idea! She fumed silently, wrenching the door open and went to step out only to be stopped by a hand on her shoulder. "Here." Hiei grunted again, obviously in just a bad mood as she was as she turned to look at him, silently relieved he put pants on before coming over only to realize he was holding out her music player. "Oh..." She murmured, reaching out and take it from his palm quickly and tucking it into her pocket. "Right, thanks I guess."

With that, she turned and stalked down the hallway, trying to push aside the unwelcome feeling of gratefulness towards the demon she left standing in the doorway, staring after her with a frown of his own. He was the one that took it in the first place. She wouldn't feel grateful to have something he stole from her returned to her by the same person, it was stupid as hell. Grinding her teeth slightly, she stomped into the kitchen, intent on letting her frustrations out on some food while she cooked. Damn fire demon.
