Here's chapter three, please please please review!
^^
The next morning Crimson awoke early, the sun beating down on her. Which of course was entirely new, everywhere else she went, it was either very cold, or very hott, never perfect and peaceful.
"Everything about this place makes me feel strange." She said looking out the window of her new room. "The sky, the land, the people. The people..."
She thought back on how Kurama told her he could stay with him, something made her feel so uncomfortable she had to get out of there. Of course that feeling went away. But she felt an even worse feeling, she knew they would find out she was a theif, the one they were looking for, she felt guilty. She was excepting such a gift from Kurama, even though she knew she was going to hurt him. But it didn't matter much eventually Hiei would say something. He isn't what she would call a friend.
"A friend?"
"A Friend?" Hiei said loudly in the other room. "Hn, I'd rather die. I need no friends."
"I'm not your friend Hiei?" Kurama asked.
"Hn." Was his only reply.
"Why won't you at least be on friendly terms with her?"
"Hn."
"What did she do? I believe you were the one to start the fighting."
"Hn."
"Besides you two a very much alike."
"Hn."
"I see, you aren't going to talk to me at all?"
"As long as it has nothing to do with that onna."
Kurama looked deeply at his friend. "Ok, but please answer one question."
"Only if I like it." Hiei said.
"Ok, why do you think Crimson is such a bad person."
Crimson, who was listening in the other room, was sure Hiei was going to tell Kurama that she is the horrible Shadow. She felt, for the first time in her life, worried.
"..." Hiei walked out of Kurama's house.
"Hiei..." Kurama stared after his friend, there was definetly something he wasn't telling him. But Kurama had no idea that it had to do with Crimson, even if she wasn't the most innocent looking girl in the world.
Crimson laid back down, looking up at the ceiling she pondered what had just happened.
"Hiei didn't say anything. But why? He had every reason to." She felt so confused. "Who would have ever thought I would run into such problems." But why did she even care anyways? She decided not to get up for a few minutes, it would be to obvious if she walked out of her room right now.
"Darn, why do I even care!" She asked herself the question she had been thinking.
Crimson's head felt ready to burst as several new emotions and weird thoughts entered her head. She hadn't felt anything like this since the time she met this man named Shinogi. He had seemed very nice, so she talked with him, confided in him. One day he told her he loved her. She didn't know what to say, but even if she had she wouldn't have had time to say it, he kissed her. From then on she began to fall in, what she thought was love, with him. But of course, all good things must come to an end. He told her he had been using her and he wanted her to sleep with him. She probably would have been stupid and excepted before he had told her he never loved her, but then again, he was, an idiot. He tried to rape her, but she was much to fast for him and since then she had never cared for others. But why should she if others cared nothing for her? It was differen't here though.
"They care for me..."
Crimson got out of bed and walked outside of her room. Kurama was sitting down at the table in his kitchen, his head down, he looked a bit upset.
"Good morning Kurama!" Crimson said being as cheerful as possible.
He lifted his head and suddenly looked a bit happier, even if it was forced. "Good morning. Are you hungry?"
Crimson looked at him strangly, and he laughed. "I take it you aren't used to hospitality."
Crimson looked at the floor, "Not much, no I'm not hungry I ate the other day."
"What? You're kidding me, you could get sick doing that! Well I suppose I should take you out for breakfast." He said taken aback that she wasn't dieing.
"No really, I'm fine." Crimson said not knowing what exactly what to say, "Why are you being so nice to me?" She asked shyly.
"Why not? You're my guest and I'd like to think of you as a friend."
She lifted her gaze suddenly from the floor, "What?" She said quickly, "A...A friend?"
She asked as if she had never heard the term before. She felt her eyes begin to fill with water, then become too full and spill over her face. She lifted her hand to her face to feel it. Kurama walked over to her and pulled her hand away. He took his other hand and brushed away her tears.
"Are you okay? And yes I think of you as a friend. Is there a reason I shouldn't?" he asked her.
Her face fell back to the floor, but he cupped her chin with his hand. She had decieved him, she couldn't let him treat her like an equal, she was going to tell him that too.
"You say I'm your friend, your friends are you equals, yet Kurama, you are too kind, the gods aren't even good enough to be your equal."
Kurama was taken aback by Crimson once again, but he smiled,
"I'm taking you out to eat whether you like it or not, but first, you can shower and I'll go get you some nice clothes alright, but while you wait for me..."
Kurama grabbed Crimson's arm and pulled her into his room and over to his closet where he pulled out a blue robe with a red rose on the chest.
"This one doesn't fit me any longer, you may use it."
"Thank you." Crimson said feeling a bit sick.
"Of course, I'll be back." He said and walked out of his room to the front door.
Crimson sighed as she walked over to the bathroom to start her shower.
But that whole time Crimson and Kurama were both very unaware of a certain demon who had snuck back into the house, and hid in the shadows.
"Kurama is too weak." He commented to himself as Crimson shut the door.
"Letting himself feel anything for that girl, whether it is love or not, she is nothing but a thief."
About 20 minutes later Crimson emerged from the bathroom, a true smile on her face. Feeling refreshed and happy she walked over to the table to relax for a moment when she heard a voice from behind her.
"Hn, I don't know what Kurama see's in you."
Crimson closed her eyes and smirked not making any sudden movements.
"Maybe it's my girlish charm."
"Hn."
"You seem to like making that noise, or do you consider it a word?"
"Hn." (Hiei)
"Hn" (Crimson)
"Hn" (Hiei"
"Hn." (Crimson)
"You are annoying the hell out of me!" He shouted.
Crimson stopped, she was about to make a nasty comment toward his size but found herself remembering something.
"I'm sorry." She muttered but Hiei heard. "Darn." She thought to herself, "did I really just say that? Or wait, did I really just mean that?"
Hiei didn't say anything for a moment, Crimson wasn't sure if he was surprised or if he just didn't know what to say.
"Hn."
Crimson turned around and looked at Hiei deeply. "I have to ask you something."
Hiei looked back not knowing what to expect, but at that moment Kurama walked in.
"Crimson, I'm back." He called to her. She turned to see Kurama and he smiled at her. "That robe fits you well." Crimson blushed a bit, hating herself for letting herself become so weak within two days of being on this god forsaken planet.
"Arigatou Kurama!" She couldn't hold it in, she was happy for the first time in her life.
Kurama smiled brightly and handed her the clothes he bought for her.
Hiei had sunk into the shadows once again to watch the thief, she had obviously forgotten about him. Her feelings for Kurama becoming visible and Kurama's feelings toward her growing every second.
"Hn, weak ningen feelings." He said to himself, but something inside of him was feeling totally differen't.
He felt an odd feeling streaming through out him as he watched Crimson and Kurama, who were acting stupidly.
Crimson walked into the bathroom and put on her underwear and her black pants, then walked out still putting on her shirt, which she liked because it was a blue spandex shirt.. Kurama blushed wildly and looked away, while Crimson laughed.
"Hn." Hiei went over to the window and opened it, letting himself out.
He promised himself that tonight he would return to find out what it was Crimson wanted to ask him.
As he left Kurama took Crimson's arm in his and they walked outside, heading toward a restaurant where they got some breakfast. After that Kurama took her around town buying her clothes, books, and anything else she liked the look of. Eventually they went home, by that time it was already 9 at night.
"Crimson, if you don't mind, I'd like to get to bed." Kurama said yawning cutely.
"Yea sure, I'm gonna go take a walk." Crimson answered heading toward the door.
"Alright, goodnight." Kurama kissed Crimson on the cheek and walked to his room.
Crimson walked out of the door and began her walk, which, she was going on to find a certain half-koorime. She passed by a park where she saw Yusuke and his girlfriend, she guessed.
"Yusuke, you jerk!" She shouted and slapped him.
He looked a bit upset.
"Kieko, come on it was a joke!"
"Well I didn't like it one bit!"
"Ok, I'm sorry, I can't help that my feelings for you make me act stupid sometimes."
That hit the spot, Kieko blushed and smiled at Yusuke.
"You mean that?"
Yusuke nodded, and put his arm around Kieko and they continued walking.
Crimson frowned at them. She remembered what Hiei said:
**
"Hn, I don't know what Kurama see's in you."
**
It made her frown even more. She didn't want Kurama to like her, especially since they've only known each other for two days. She touched herself on the cheek where Kurama kissed her.
"Gosh. Ningen males sure acted quickly. Hiei on the other hand..."
Crimson blinked, did she just think that?
She continued walking til' she reached a bridge over a creek. She sat on the edge of the stone railing and looked up at the moon, which was in the shape of a cresent. She looked down at it's reflection in the pond. The way the light bounced off of the water made everything look so romantic.
"You're pathetic."
This time Crimson was surprised although she knew exactly who it was.
"I guess I didn't need to go back to Kurama's after all." Hiei thought to himself.
"Hiei?"
"Hn?"
"Why didn't you tell Kurama who I am?"
Hiei stared at Crimson, not expecting that at all.
"Well?" Crimson asked impatiently.
"Because I used to be like you." He answered truthfully, avoiding eye contact with Crimson.
"Really?"
"Yea, I was a thief, but Kurama and Yusuke, and even that oaf Kuwabara made me weak. And now I'm,"
He stopped as if dreading what he was about to say.
"Good."
Crimson looked at Hiei and got up from where she was sitting. She walked over to Hiei til their faces were about an inch apart, her eyes met his and she made sure they kept eye contact.
"For all you know I could be faking."
"Maybe." Hiei said, and with that he jumped away as fast as possible.
Crimson stared in the direction he just went. Maybe he was right, she was losing it, if she waited too long, she'd never be able to steal again. She decided, tomarrow night she'd travel to Spirit World and take everything.
"I am the Shadow, not Kianta Crimson, I'm not weak. And I definetly won't let that little demon change anything." But something else inside her head told her differently.
How is it? So Crimson and Kurama have a thing going on...Could that be why he asked her to stay with him? Oh well, I don't think that will last long.
Kurama looks over to where Crimson sleeps, hugging Hiei tightly like some kind of plushy.
Hiei looks at Kurama, knowing that he wants to take Crimson away, Hiei grabs her accidentily waking her up.
Crimson- Huh, where am I?
She looks up at Hiei and turns so red that her face starts to steam.
She gets up and runs over to Dark Kairi who is smirking all the while.
Crimson- Hiei you jerk.
Kurama-*Laughs*
Hiei-*Looks confused*
Vegeta- *Far away on the Kai planet* RAISE YOUR HANDS OR YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!"
Crimson- R&R!
