Haven't written in a long time. I had writer's block. I'm sorry that I'm
not into writing long chapters. XP well here it is. Again it's the same
symbols and stuff, if you forgot just look on chapter one.
Chapter 4- Confrontation/Explanation
/ Indeed Hiei did stay, but he did not feel like getting into the water or anything. So there he was, bathing in the sun's warm rays. Being kind of annoyed with himself /
+ I don't like this mushy gushy stuff. Besides if I even did care for here, she wouldn't care back for me. Just like those koorime. And the rest of them.
/ Hiei looked to see Rinda on her beach towel. She stared into the horizon. She seemed to be troubled by something too. He looked down at her hands, there were scars on them, much like the one on his right arm. She had begun to gather the sand into a small pile. She cupped the mound of sand with the hands and she started to concentrate her energy. Hiei watched as a black lily started to row. He was amazed, eyes wide in shock. The next minute he stood in back of her, looking down curiously. /
+ "So animal are you", since you can control plants and all
~ She didn't look back and simply answered: "Fox."
+ Hn. Now there are two sneaky foxes. "So what connection do you hold with Kurama?"
/ There was a pause. The two could hear the few other inhabitants on the beach. The wind blew by. The sun shone brightly. /
~ "Well. he was one of my suitors whom I had. rejected."
/ Hiei was quite surprised by this. He remembered from being at Kurama's side for quite some time, it was Kurama that possessed suitors whom he had to. release. He looked down at Florinda. /
+ Hn. If she rejected Kurama then I possibly have no chance at all. Why did I just think that? I don't care for her
/ Florinda was still sitting at the same spot. Now the lily had fully grown. Black with thin blue and white streaks. She stopped concentrating her energy on the plant. She picked up the lily from the sand and stood up. She stood up and turned around to face Hiei. She was shorter than him by a bit, the top of her head reaching his nose. She stepped up to him and looked up at him. He looked very confused and stared at her in wonderment. She brought her hands up from her sides.
~ "Here, to remember today." Or rather to remember me.
/ Hiei looked at the flower in the girls hand. He felt strange while receiving the delicate plant. There hands met during the exchange. A shock. /
+ "Thanks I guess." He said while looking at the flower that was now in his hands.
/ Before he could ask anything else. Florinda had started to lose consciousness. Hiei used his speed to get in back of her and catch her. He saw that she was a shivering, eyes glazed over. She screamed her name out, Kurama and Botan noticed and rushed over. Hiei was now holding her like a mother held her infant baby. Being a fire demon, he warmed up his body a little to stop her from the excessive shivering She had stopped but he could tell she wasn't back yet. He screamed her name again
"We should get her back to our place, its closer anyway."
"Right."
"Hiei."
/ Hiei looked up at his companion. /
"You'd best carry her there first, you are the quickest one out of us. Put her on a bed and just don't leave her side."
/ Amazingly, he took this request without saying a word. Kurama of ocurse saw this change in his best friend. /
"Well let's go."
/ Hiei had in less than a minute reached the small house in which they stayed in for this "vacation". He wondered why he had ran faster that usual, for now he was out of breathe. For some reason he wanted to protect this girl, a weak half-demon. He carried her to his bedroom and laid her on his bed. He put the blankets over her to keep her warm but she had again started to shiver. But this time it was as if she was trembling in fear. Not wanting to get too close,he held her hand. She reacted with a tight rip back.
~ "Hiei. help.."
/ The words had barely been above a whisper and her voice faded out again. He looked at her with fear. /
"It's starting again."
/ Hiei turned around and saw Kurama at the door. /
+ "What do you mean its starting?"
He sighed. "At first I didn't want to say anything. When we had first met, Florinda had, well."
+ "Captured your heart?"
"She told you huh." He looked at Hiei with concern.
+ "So what's the big deal? Continue with your story."
Florinda doesn't really open up well. She must really trust him. Kurama smiled. "Okay so one day I confessed to her during our training. She told me that I shouldn't have done that. Before I could ask why, we were attacked by a shadow demon. Rinda had released her hidden power, an evil darkness had escaped from the inside of her and it seemed that she was losing control. The force devoured the demon in no time. I was amazed and I stood there watching her. She then decided to tell me more about her, something she is usually very reluctant to do. She, like you, was considered the 'Forbidden Child' because of her human side. The foxes knew that her human emotions would get in the way of her power, so they did not even bother to raise or train her. I must say my human mother has had an effect on me, and that is why I decided to assist her in training. But since she was the Forbidden Child, they had put some sort of curse on her. If she was ever to love, the person she love would be put in danger, and eventually would die of it. But there was said to be a cure, a lift to the curse, that a destined lover would save her. She did not believe in that so she had sealed her heart away. Then she took off and I haven't seen her since, until today."
+ "What does this have to do with me?"
"You love her."
+ "Hn. I don't believe in love."
"I've heard that one before. You both are so alike"
+ "What?"
"She said that she didn't believe in love either. But she doesn't usually give gifts to remember her by."
/ Hiei looked down at his hand. He had forgotten the fragile plant was still there. /
+ "It was to remember today."
"That is what she told you? Hmm. Just remember what I said.
+ Hn. Stupid fox.
/ Botan then walks in after Kurama leaves. She was concerned about her new friend. She saw Hiei holding Rinda's hand. A black lily now rested on the nightstand. She looked at them and thought about what a cute couple they would make. /
If Rinda didn't seem so reluctant to love somebody. She told me she didn't think it was time. What did she mean? Seems like something in her past is bugging her. They would make such a cute couple. In my opinion, Rinda could be the one that could see through Hiei's cold exterior and melt his heart.
/ She walked out of the room and left the two alone. She knew when people needed to be alone. /
+ Please wake up and be okay Rinda.
