Nakoruru (yawns): Sorry about not updating as soon as I wanted to. Not
only did I have to baby-sit, but I've been working on another story that
I've been working on, then started a modern Beyblade story with the
characters living normal teen age lives, then getting distracted, and. . .
.
Blazer: We've had it rough. Please forgive us. Welcome to chapter 11 everyone. Nice of you to join us, Storm Demon welcome.
Nakoruru: Shea, what did you mean by the ^ ^;; face when you reviewed, I'm going crazy trying to figure it out. Kayla, I'm glad that you thought it was perfect for their date. And you guess will find out what happens to Serena. Anime Princess, it hasn't been easy, but here it is. My Beyblade story Ai Yori Dango is occupying most of my time, note, it's not up on fanfiction.net yet so don't go looking for it yet. SilverCaladan, my muse said he would give you a necklace if it makes you feel better, and if you'll be okay. Oh, Storm Demon, your idea about Darien is interesting. When I get to the plans to do the se--*Blazer clamps hand over Nakoru's mouth*
Blazer: You idiot! They aren't supposed to know about that! Are you trying to give away the big surprise? (to readers) Pay her no mind. Let's get on to the chapter now.

Chapter 11
Why was she so drawn to him? Every thought in her head was about him. His name buzzed in her head over and over again. She couldn't think straight to figure it out. Why of all people did she like him? She had a boyfriend already. He was smart, tall, handsome, and nice. Sure Hiei was smart, that was obvious, and yeah he was handsome, but he was far from nice. She didn't worry about his height so much; they were practically the same height.
Ever since she had first saw him, she had felt something inside of her awaken. At first she thought it was fear for the brooding young man that had come from another dimension. But as time passed, and the more she was around him, Serena discovered that this feeling for Hiei was anything but fear. She had to admit that the young man put her at ease. She felt much more alive when he was near.
Serena sighed once again, lost in her thoughts as she continued to let her feet take her feet take her wherever they wanted. Before long, Serena realized that she was not familiar with her surroundings. Coming out of her thoughts, she looked around horrified to find herself some place she never saw before. The streets were barren of people, and it was only she and the streetlights. Serena began to feel apprehensive, as if she was being watched. Shifting her glance around, she thought she saw some shadows hiding behind a post. Her eyes widened when a hand clamped over her mouth to keep her from screaming.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What did you just say, Chad?" demanded Raye. "Tell me!"
Chad flinched at the anger that was in Raye's voice. "A few minutes ago, Serena's mom called here to see if she was here. She asked me whether Serena was here or not. I told her no. She said that she tried calling the others, but they hadn't seen her either. She hasn't been at home at all."
"Kurama." Raye looked at Kurama who stood beside her. He nodded his head slightly.
"I'll go and search for her. You get the others together and start looking." Just as he was about to go, Hiei walked out from somewhere, still looking as if something was on his mind. "Hiei!"
The koorime looked up at the kitsune. "What is it?"
"We have to find Serena, she's gone missing. I need you and Kurama to go see if you can locate her. It might not be a big deal, but I don't feel right about it," Raye spoke. She watched the koorime's crimson eyes wide a trite upon hearing the news. Before she could blink, Hiei was gone from sight. She wondered, could it be possible that Hiei. . .*No way. Hiei can't like Serena, it's just my imagination.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serena tried to scream as someone dragged her into one of the alleys. Serena could taste the fear in her mouth, pricking at the back of her head, causing her to go numb. She couldn't believe what was happening to her. This couldn't be happening. Serena tried to struggle, but figure held a firm grip on her.
"Stop struggling little girl. We won't hurt you." A male with short spiky brown hair walked into the alley with two taller men behind them. Both of the males looked as if they had been in far too many street fights. One man sported a scar going down his left cheek, while the other male just was plain ugly. The shorter male of the four jeered at her. "So, what's a little schoolgirl like you doing in parts like this. Looking for a little fun, eh?"
Serena tried to struggle again. The male hold her wrapped his arm tightly around her waist to keep her from moving, give her the capability to talk. "Let me go! I'll scream!" The four men began to laugh at her remark.
"Go ahead and try it cupcake. No one will hear you, this is our territory, no one would dare mess with us," sneered one of the men behind the shorter one in the entrance of the alley. "Hey, Manji, what are we planning to do with this sweet little dumpling?"
The short male addressed as Manji walked up to Serena, reaching for the tail of her school skirt. Serena blushed as she kicked the man in the face with her foot. "Don't touch me, creep! I'm already taken!"
The man wheeled back, holding his face and growling with anger. Glaring at the young pigtailed girl, he raised a hand to her. "You dumb broad, yar boyfriend won't want you after I'm done with you!" The man's hand sailed across her cheek, leaving her with a burning sensation that seemed to spread throughout her whole left side. She could feel the tears in the back of her eyes welling up. "Now, keep quiet or else I'll pellet you one again."
Serena squeezed her eyes shut as she felt his hand grabbed the end of her school skirt and lift it inch by inch. She heard the catcalls of the other males as her skirt was lifted all the way up. Her whole body quavered with fear and shame at what they were doing to her. "Stop it! Stop it!"
"Hey, hey, we haven't done anything yet, dumpling. We just having ourselves a little peep show, no need to get all excited. Hey, Oyaji, get her hands so I can see what we're working with. Shoma, you take the skirt," ordered the man Manji.
Serena felt the arm around her waist move as her arms were lifted up and held in a vice grip. Serena tried to struggle again but was slapped once again then told to behave herself. The man with the long scar on his face took the material of her skirt and held it up, showing her panties. The ugly guy pulled up her school shirt, giving their leader a good look at what she had on underneath.
"Ain't bad, could be better, but beggars can't be choosers," smirked the male, touching her thigh.
So, Manji, who takes the first go at her?" inquired the male holding Serena still.
"How about I take the first go at one of you if you don't let her go." The even tone of another brought the four males attention to the entrance of the alley. They saw a young male about the girl's height glaring at each of them. His chaotic black hair seemed even more so, especially with the glowing eye on his forehead that was open and seethed red.
"Who the hell are you?" shouted one of the males.
"You don't want to know. And it won't matter in just a moment." To the men's disbelief, the short male disappeared. One of them screamed, and they turned their attention to the male holding Serena. He dropped the girl, then fell back, unconscious.
"What the hell. . .is he. . ." The male with the scar on his face tried to run, letting go of Serena's skirt, but he found the short male in front of him. His crimson eyes full of fury. Hiei smashed his fists into the man's face, knocking him out. He then went for the one next to the boss. Hiei was going to save him for last. Hiei made quick work of the other, then found the boss pulling out a gun from his pants.
"Do you really think that's going to hurt me?" Hiei smirked.
"Who the hell are you?" The male's hands shook as he pointed the gun at Hiei. Hiei disappeared again, coming up behind him before he knew what was going on.
"Scum like you don't deserve to live." Hiei punched the man in the back, then disappeared, appearing in front of him and knocking the gun from his hand. The male didn't know what was happening until he found himself on his back, constant fists pounding him in the face. "How do you like being hit! Not so fun now, is it!"
Serena watched in horror at the scene displayed to her. She could sense the fury that was in the small male. It seethed off him like heat would, which was when she noticed the dark aura surrounding him. The male, Manji, was barely conscious now. Even though she wanted that man to die for what he tried to do, she didn't want Hiei to kill him. "Hiei, stop it!" She watched Hiei pause in mid motion to strike again, to look at her. "That's enough! No more, please!"
She watched him silently climb off the male and walk over to her. His crimson eyes glared down at her. "What do you think you're doing this far from your house, baka?" Hiei snapped.
Serena had expected for him to ask if she was okay, and was thrown off by his words. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at him. Even though he seemed angry with her, she just wanted to hold him. She wrapped her arms around his waist, crying into his chest. Hiei was shocked that she would do something like that, but he found himself wrapping his arms around her.
"I was so scared, Hiei! I didn't know what to do!" Serena cried. "I thought they would. . ."
"You're fine. Stop crying," Hiei murmured, then blinked rapidly. Was he comforting her? Why did he feel this way about her? The other ningen girls didn't affect him like this, so why would she? What was it about her that made him want to shelter her from everything? What made him want to be close to her and hold her like this? Was he doing such an idiotic ningen thing as falling in love with her? No, he wasn't going to, he was a warrior. He had no time for such emotions; they were for the weak. He was not weak, nor would he lower himself to those standards. Hiei let his body cool down, pulling away from her. "We should get going. Your friends are looking for you."
Serena watched him turn from her and start to head out of the alley. Serena bit her bottom lip, feeling more tears well up in her eyes. Her heart felt like it was about to be ripped in two. She didn't know what to do. After all, she just couldn't break up with Darien to be with Hiei. He would be leaving tomorrow and she would never see him again. And anyway, he didn't want to be with her, he made that perfectly clear.
When Hiei realized that Serena wasn't following him, he turned back to look at her, and his cold heart nearly shattered. That look in her blue eyes pierced the very core of his soul, driving a knife he never knew was there, deeper. There was an ache within him he had never known before. Why was this girl causing him to feel like this? His sister Yukina never made him feel this way, so why should Serena? Hiei growled low in his throat for upsetting the girl further. Stalking back up to her, he gently grabbed her hand, pulling her along with him. She came willingly, not saying a word.
"Hiei. . ." Serena said after about ten minutes of silent walking, by then she was walking beside her. "How did you know where I was?"
"My Jagan," Hiei indicated to his now bandaged third eye. Serena nodded slightly, looking down at her feet for a while, then back up at him.
"Thank you, Hiei, for everything. I don't know how I'm going to pay you back for all of the things you've done for us," Serena said. "Without you and Kurama, I don't know if we would have defeated Nagi or Kyukura. You were big helps to us."
Hiei shrugged, not sure of what to say. "I don't want to be paid back for helping. Kurama asked me to try to get along with you until we got back to our dimension. It's nothing big."
"Is that all? You're just working off a favor?" Serena was aware of the tears in her eyes, as she yanked her hand from his. The koorime looked at her with a questioning look. He could see the anger swell up in those pools of blue that captivated him. "So was coming to save me a favor too. So if no one had asked, you wouldn't have done it? Is that it? Just have to baby-sit until you get home! You. . .you jerk!" Serena took off past him, not caring she got lost again. Her chest hurt so much now. Why did this have to happen to her?
"Where do you think you're going?" A firm hand grabbed her shoulder, stopping her in her tracks. She was whipped back around to look into Hiei's slightly anger tinged crimson eyes. His mouth, that mouth she wanted to kiss so much, was set in a frown of impatience. "What's wrong with you?"
"You," Serena shouted.
Hiei sighed, letting her go. "If I ever tell Yukina, someone tell me she won't attack like you." Hiei cursed silently, realizing what he had just said to the girl. Why was this happening to him? He wondered if some greater force was doing this to him, because they were enjoying watching him suffer.
"Yukina? Who is she? Your girlfriend?"
"No one," Hiei bit out, not wanting to tell her anything about his sister. "Now come on. It's getting late."
Serena grounded her feet, refusing to move. Hiei swore silently as he glared at the now stubborn blonde. "Hiei, I know nothing about you, and yet. . ." The girl looked down at her hands, tears streaking down her cheeks. "And yet I feel like I could be by your side for an eternity. Do you realize I'm never going to see you again, should it make if this Yukina person is your girlfriend or not to me? I want to know you, or at least get to know you. Please, Hiei."
Hiei wanted to give in to that blue stare that begged him so innocently. Hiei opened his mouth to speak. "She's my younger sister."
"You have a younger sister?" Serena imagined that she was as beautiful as he was handsome. "She must love you a lot."
"She doesn't know I'm her older brother," Hiei remarked.
"Why?" Serena said. "She has a right to know that she has an older brother. Why won't you tell her?"
Hiei gave her a leveled look. "Do you think that she would enjoy the fact that her older brother has a criminal history? I'm saving her the trouble by keeping my identity a secret. That way she doesn't have to take up by slack."
"That's not fair to her! I'm sure she would love you unconditionally despite the fact of your criminal record. You don't understand that love can conquer any situation you just have to believe in it." (We all know that's a lie, but in the SM world it does, so please stop scrunching up your faces at me.)
"Ch. . .I don't believe in that sort of thing. It's for the weak," retorted Hiei.
"Then I'll be weak. Love is one of the most powerful emotion and weapon you could ever have. It's helped me out so many times. More times than I can count. The love of my family and friends has pulled me through the worst situations. Even our battle with Kyukura held the love of everyone. I thought about you while I fought," Serena admitted. "I'm in love with you, Hiei."
Hiei was silent, not sure what to say in this situation. Serena sighed, not knowing what telling him would do. Finally, Hiei walked up to her, looking her in the eyes. She didn't know what he was looking for, but her heart pounded with him ever so close to me. After his extensive search, Hiei reached up and wiped away the remaining tears in her eyes. Serena blushed at his warm touch. "Don't fall in love with me." With that, he started walking again, leaving Serena to wonder if he meant it a good or bad way.
