SECRETS IN MY BLOOD CHAPTER 2
The sky above was a steely grey. Keiko wished it would start to rain, in order to match her depressing mood. Sadly, she could not bend the elements to her will. So she walked on, her head pounding from the lethal demon blood's attack.
She walked into the park and sat to rest on a bench for awhile. Although she had only been walking for a few minutes, her limbs felt like lead and her head felt like it was splitting open. Keiko rubbed her arms and wished she had brought a jacket with her. Slowly, she stood back up and continued her search for the elusive fire demon.
After fifteen minutes of searching she could still not find him. It was now raining and her school clothes might as well not be there. They did nothing to protect her from this threat to her life.
Not like it mattered. She would never find Hiei. She was doomed to die, whether it is from her demon blood or from hypothermia. Keiko lifted her head and allowed the rain to mingle with her salty tears. She didn't want to die.
"Damn it Hiei! Where are you?!"
Her crying increased by ten-fold. Apparently all her tears had not been spilled in her house.
"Hn."
Keiko turned around and was surprised to see Hiei there. His hair still in its unusual shape despite the rain. She stopped her crying, knowing he would be disgusted by her petty emotions.
"H-Hiei?" Keiko managed to choke out.
"What?" Asked the fire demon in a harsh tone.
"I-I need t-to talk to yo-you." Keiko said.
"Then talk."
Keiko nearly gasped in shock. Here she was, standing in the rain, obviously catching a cold or worse and he didn't care in the slightest! Then again, the only reason he probably even bothered to answer her was solely because he had a small amount of respect for Yusuke. Realizing that he was growing impatient, Keiko got her numb and chattering jaw under control.
"I need you to help me. I have a terrible problem and . . . you're the only one who can save me." Said Keiko.
"Ask Yusuke, your problems are none of my concern."
Keiko could feel more tears forming in her eyes, but bravely held them back.
"He can't help me, only you can. I'm going to die Hiei, unless you help me." Whispered Keiko.
Hiei searched her face for the next few seconds. Looking to see if she was serious. Satisfied that she was, he nodded for her to continue. His face was as emotionless as it had been when they first started talking. Emotionless like it always was, like he always was.
"I need your help because my mother made a mistake. My father isn't my real father. My true father is a demon. I'm half demon and for some reason my demon blood is going to kill me. I was wondering if you could help me . . . and if you do, please don't tell anyone." Said Keiko, more tears streaming down her face.
Hiei looked shocked for a moment. Then his face reverted back to its hard, cold mask. Keiko prayed that he would help her.
"I will tell no one."
Keiko raised her head and looked at Hiei. Her heart pounded with renewed hope for her survival. Without thinking, she threw herself at him and hugged him with all her might.
Hiei was surprised of course and instead of returning the young girl's hug, he roughly pushed her away. Not enough to make her fall, but enough for her to understand to never do it again.
"Come." He growled
Keiko glared at him, but followed none the less. They went to an abandon and dirty, but dry alleyway. Keiko was beginning to feel sick and not from the cold. Her blood was on the rampage again.
"Hiei, can we . . . stop for . . . a bit?" Said Keiko, gasping in between words from the pain in her blood stream.
"The sooner we get to the Makai, the sooner the pain will stop."
Keiko stopped in mid step and her eyes widened.
"We're going to the Makai?!" She squeaked.
"Unless you want to die, yes. To save yourself, you will have to become a full demon. To do that, you must live like one." Explained Hiei.
After some consideration, Keiko nodded in agreement. Like all other living beings, deep inside her was the need to survive. Keiko would do whatever it took to continue breathing. Even if it meant traveling to the accursed realm of demons.
She then followed Hiei into an empty building. Inside the building there was a hole in the ground. It shone an emerald green and for some reason, she felt attracted to this gap in the floor. Like it was a magnate and she the metal. Could her demonic side by reacting to the entrance of its origin?
Hiei grabbed her hand. Not out of comfort, but out of protection. None the less, Keiko felt safe in his grip. Together, they jumped into the portal.
