Ren stopped in the training clearing, taking deep breaths to calm her suddenly unsettled mind she thought back to when she had reached the temple. She had felt excitement and knowing from Hiei, but it wasn't because he had known she had returned. Wrapping her arms around her self for security she looked to the water pool with confused and clouded eyes.
Was this female a close friend of Hieis', perhaps and old lover? The very thought had her energy spiking slightly only to be extinguished, Hie was not hers' to claim. As she contemplated what she had seen in the dojo she found a comfortable spot high in an old oaks branches.
Hiei took Mukuro's offered hand to rise to his feet but when she had mentioned company he followed her line of sight. When his eyes fell on Ren he froze, her face was blank and her thoughts unreachable, he was closed out. Before he could think to say anything she had dismissed her self and left the dojo.
"She seems a bit shy", he looked over at Mukuro as she spoke before he walked to a bench and picked up his shirt. Wiping off his face he took a moment to think about what had just happened.
"Does Lady Mukuro plan on staying with us for a while?", Genkai broke his concentration.
"If it isn't a problem?"
"Not at all I will have a room prepared", she nodded before looking over at Hiei, he was now removing the sheath for his sword from his belt. He seemed deep in thought, his movements stiff unlike his usually graceful skill,
The time, it was something Ren had managed to lose track of, she knew she had taken a little nap in the tree. Jumping to the soft grass below she checked her watch, it was almost three, she had been out a little longer then originally thought. Walking down the path to the dojo she remembered why she had fled to the training grounds in the first place.
Erasing the thoughts from her mind she emerged in the garden to find Yukina back and tending to the flowers. The ice maiden smiled at her as she noticed Ren's presence in the garden. Returning the smile Ren headed for the main house with a slow and hesitated gate.
"Yar moods got my ears droopin it does", she looked up at the sound of Jin's heavily accented voice.
"Sorry, lots on my mind. How did you enjoy the mall?", the wind master made a face and shook his head.
"To many bodies had me feelin like a sardine in a phone booth it did. Plus half them humans wear way to much perfumes if yah ask me, my nose is burnin", she laughed as he crinkled his nose.
"No more mall trips for Jin got it", she pretended to salute him before entering the main house. When she came inside she was met by Kurama who gave her a welcoming smile.
"Feeling better?"
"You already know the answer so why ask?", she sighed as he rubbed the back of his head.
"To make conversation, I heard you have met Mukuro?", she rolled her eyes before grabbing the remote and turning on the television.
"Yes", Kurama watched as she plopped down on the couch and drew her knees to her chest.
"Have you spoken to Hiei?"
"No I haven't seen him", deciding the television was no longer an interest Ren rose from the couch and started for her bedroom. Kurama seemed to understand her curtness and backed off as she walked away.
Closing her door Ren walked to her bed and released a frustrated growl before landing on the mounds of comfy pillows and blankets. Laying there for a moment she took a deep breath, lifting her head to a new scent she turned to see Hiei just coming in through the window. Rising from the bed she walked towards him but stopped just short when the scent of lilies hit her like a brick wall. Backing away she growled softly, her eyes glazing with confusion and hurt.
Hiei looked down as if wondering what her problem was before his eyes widened slowly and he reached out for her. Ren drew out of reach and shook her head, she could feel him trying to brush her mind but she closed him out immediately.
"Ren", he took another step towards her and Ren growled deep in her throat.
"I think you need to leave" there was a pause in the air as Ren tried to hold her ground. Hiei stepped back and looked at the ground, in that moment Ren could see the hurt on his face and the anger in his eyes but within the blink of an eye he was gone.
Running to her door she tore out of her room and ran down the hall as fast as her legs could carry her which wasn't far when she ran into Jin and fell back on her behind. The impact didn't effect him as he looked down at her and a goofy smile broke across his lips.
"Were yah runnin to in such a hur-", Jin's grin fell as he looked down at her, the tears that streamed down her cheeks making him kneel down in front of her. Ren wiped her eyes and shook her head as he rested one of his hands on her head.
"Im fine, im fine", Jin shook his head.
"Then why yah cryin on the floor litle one?", she looked up at him and took a shaky breath. Jin shook his head and scooped her up in his arms and walked out of the temple. Ren sighed and leaned into Jin allowing him to take her out into the fresh air.
"Her scent was on his skin", she whispered and Jin rested his chin on her head.
"Ill clear your mind", he set her down and Ren looked at him for a moment but when he lifted off the ground she shook her head.
"Oh heights and me don't work"
"To bad", he snatched her up and took off through the air Ren screaming the whole time. When they reached the shore of the far beach Jin set her down and Ren spun a few times before landing on her behind in the sand.
"Well my mind is definitely clear at the moment", Ren giggled as she looked up at the goofy red head.
"See flyin always clears out the craziness.", she nodded before looking out at the water.
"Jin do you know who she is?", the wind master shook his head but looked up to see Kurama and Yukina down the beach.
"No but I happen tah know a fella that does", Ren looked at him and he offered her a hand up, taking his hand she got to her feet but lost balance and fell against him.
The electric shock that filled her made her purr and Jin stepped back while shaking his head.
"Im sorry, urgh the sooner this crap is over the better", Jin smirked as a shudder ran up his spine.
"Well I hope yah find your answers litle one", in a gust she felt him take off, watching him move through the air she was briefly reminded of a kite moving on the breezes. Jin was a beautiful goofball, she saw him as art and as clutter, but he made it work.
"Ren", a soft laughing voice reached her and she turned to see Yukina running through the water at her. Turning she caught sight of Kurama and she could sense his unease as they neared her.
"Why are you two out here?", Yukina tucked her hands behind her back and looked down at her feet.
"I confide in Kurama", Ren smiled.
"He IS the best secret keeper", Yukina nodded and turned towards the path as if she heard something.
"He is waiting for you", a blush covered Yukina's face and she bowed before running down the beach. Ren looked to the path in time to see Kuwabara breach the hill his hands in his pocket and a calm smile on his face. When Yukina reached him the two exchanged greetings before leaving the beach together.
"You are in doubt", Ren could feel her tears before she even began to cry.
"Wouldn't you be?", they shared a moment of pause as Ren tried to compose her self.
"Mukuro used to be an important element in his life, at one point they were all each other had. Understand that but do not let it take over how you feel about him. When you are faced with a fight, the last thing you do is show your weakness to your enemy", Ren listened to himin depth.
"Thank you Kurama, so much", she bowed her head and looked out at the water.
Hiei dropped to the ground on his hands and knees panting, sweat dripping off his body, using training as an outlet worked for him. But the after math was usually a bother, looking around him at the many destroyed trees and boulders. He had taken a serene setting and turned it into a battle scene. Drawing in a deep breath he could still smell the scent of lilies, Mukuros' sudden presence was causing him nothing but trouble.
He couldn't blame Ren for her reaction, he had not intended for her to get hurt. Slamming his fist on the ground he closed his eyes, remembering the look on her face when she pulled away from him. He had to fix it, he had to get her back. He couldn't become hollow again.
