Chapter 6:
Day One: Bicycle Part 1
~*~
Hiei felt a heavy burden leaning down on his eye lids.
He slowly opened them carefully coming to the conclusion that he was waking up.
'Wow,' he thought. 'I can't remember the last time I slept that long.'
He rose slowly to find that he was still sitting on the window seat.
He must have fallen asleep when he was thinking last night.
'Jesus . . . I haven't felt so good since . . . well, never!'
He dragged himself over to the brown twin size bed in the middle of the room.
There were ningen clothes lying widely across the bed spread.
. . .
'No fucking way in hell,' he thought backing away cautiously, his eyes no longer heavy.
His eyes no longer blinking for that matter.
There was a soft knock on the ashy, poorly sanded door.
"Hiei? Hiei, are you up?"
Through the door frame he could tell it was Mira's voice talking to him.
He swallowed. "Ye-yeah."
Without taking his gaze off the bed, he heard the door knob turn and a pair of footsteps walk in following a soft creak of the floor boards.
"Um . . . is something wrong, Hiei?"
"Y-y-you don't *really* expect me to wear that, right?" he said pointing to the clothes on the bed where his eyes were fixed.
"I'm sorry, but yeah. I do."
Hiei began to face Mira.
He opened his mouth to speak but quickly shut it when he saw her standing there.
She was wearing ningen clothes now. She had a baggy light blue T-shirt on with Chinese letter writing, 'emperor'. She also had khaki capris on with tiny green flowers curled at the bottom. Her hair was in a low ponytail unlike before and her sandals were replaced by flip-flops.
Hiei's body was flaming as his eyes examined her body. . .
. . .
'Breathe! BREATHE God dammit!' he thought.
"Look," she began. "I know *you're* not use to wearing a shirt, but most humans do."
Hiei's eyes narrowed. "Actually, demons wear shirts too. I lost mine in battle with Makuya," he said a little annoyed.
"Oh," she said stabbing herself mentally. "Sorry."
"Aaah, it's nothing," his usual 'hn' was expected but nothing was actually 'usual' anymore.
There was a long awkward silence that seemed to last for about an hour but was only a few seconds. Hiei broke it.
"So . . . um. . ." He said walking over to the bed. "Why do I have to wear these?"
"Because!" Mira smiled, happy that Hiei broke the silence and not her. "We're going biking!"
Hiei felt a wave of confusion overwhelm him.
"BYE- King?"
Mira's heart sank as her eyes grew.
'Oh my sweet jesus lord.'
'What?' called her other half.
'He doesn't know what biking is!'
'That's impossible. Everyone knows how to bike!'
'Well, not him.'
'Geesh. Good luck with that one!.'
'Thanks. I feel your sympathy.'
'Anytime sista! Anytime!'
"Um . . . just get dressed and I'll . . . um. . . show you, kay?"
Hiei was still confused, but he trusted her . . .
. . . for some strange reason . . .
"Okay."
Mira closed the door behind her back as she left. She sunk her backside down on the ground and let the ashy wood claim her back as she brought her knees up to her chest.
"This is going to be harder than I thought."
* * *
"Okay. Yeah. Makuya is definitely dead," Hiei whispered to himself as he looked at the ningen clothes he had put on.
He held his arms out wide as he examined his T-shirt.
It was dark green with a large black stripe spread widely across the torso area. He was wearing shorts, but he found them to be slightly baggy and uncomfortable.
There had to be something. . .
Anything. . .
'I mean . . . how can a piece of clothing be so ugly? There's got to be something there to make it like this . . .'
He shot his arms down at lightning speed when he heard another soft knock at the door.
Oh great.
Mira again . . .
She'll hate it.
'But then why would she lay it out for you?'
'I don- WHAT?!' Hiei mentally screamed.
There was another voice.
Another person.
Another something stuck in Hiei's head.
'Who are you?!'
'I'm you, baka.'
'But- how- why?'
'Look, you're having a mental battle, moron.'
'Oh great.'
'Isn't it though?'
The soft knock came again.
But this time,
It was a little harder than usual and there was a tiny huff coming from the other side.
Wait.
Mira wouldn't huff.
. . .
'Oh no.'
'What?'
'It's her mother!'
'What's so bad about that again?'
'She has it in for me.'
'Ah. Right.'
Hiei shook his head to get the other half out.
He became a little dizzy and wobbled over to the door. He put his sweaty palm on the door handle and tried to turn it slowly.
The door creaked open and Mira's mother came barging into the room faster than a cheetah.
The door opened with such force that it knocked Hiei down to the wooden floor. But Mira's mother paid no attention to his condition.
She was looking around.
'Snooping' if you will.
She had her wrinkled hands behind her back and her head was slightly leaning downward to the desk.
Hiei was still on the ground.
What is with this woman?!
"Um . . . do you need something?" He finally said.
She turned to face him.
Her eyes were slits.
"Yes . . ." she said in an obviously fake laugh. "I'm looking to see if my daughter has come in here . . ."
Without thinking, Hiei just began to speak. Completely oblivious to what she was implying.
"Well, yeah she did. She came in not too long ago to see if I had gotten the clothes."
The mother's eyes widened slightly.
"Clothes?"
"Yeah."
She turned to face him fully so she would better talk to him. "What do you mean? Why?"
"Well, I guess she did it so I could get dressed."
She cleared her throat. "Why did you need to get dressed?"
Hiei raised an eyebrow. Still oblivious to what she was thinking.
"Because I hardly had anything on! I was sleeping!"
Her right arm started shaking rapidly. "You had nothing on . . . with her in your presence?!"
"I g- WAIT A MINUTE!!" He shouted, finally picking up on what she was thinking. "I would NEVER do that to her!"
Mira's mother was on the verge of exploding. "YOU BETTER NOT!!"
She then turned her back fiercely and stomped out of the room realizing that her little 'visit' was pointless.
. . .
Hiei was still on the floor.
But now he was lying on his back.
'Oh my god.'
'What?'
'If you're me, then you should know what! She just thought I did- well- you know, to MIRA!!'
'Why didn't you?'
'I'm gonna ignore that.'
'Oh C'mon. Don't deny the fact that you *want* to.'
'Even if I did *want* to- WHICH I DON'T- it's not like she would ever want to too.'
'How do you know that?'
'I don't.'
'Then what have you got to loose?'
'A place to stay.'
. . .
'Ok. That's a good point . . . but you still *really want* to!'
'SHUT UP!!'
~*~
AN: kk, I know. Really short chapter. But don't worry! I'm on Thanksgiving break now, and I have almost no homework! ^_^ That means updating! I hope to get quite a few chapters in . . . and I hope to update 'The Return of Hollie' for all you Nobles fans out there!
Oh yeah! One more thing,
When you people review, tell me if you want me to include music or not. I'm going to judge it upon vote. Thanks!
