10. Cleaning out the closet.
A couple of hours later Kurama, Jean and Katie walked into the dojo to see Hiei in the corner. Botan and Genkai were sitting on the floor talking to each other.
"What's up?" Jean smiled walking over to Botan and Genkai with Kurama and Katie behind her.
"Where have you three been?" Botan asked.
"The mall." Jean and Katie answered showing her their bags.
"You should have told someone." Botan snapped, she was looking very pissed.
"Sorry?" Jean answered. "we were ok Kurama was with us." Jean grinned making Kurama go a little red in the cheeks. "Genkai can Katie and I use your room, since you all are in ours?" Jean asked.
Genkai nodded, stood up and Jean and Katie followed her.
Hiei watched them leave, he knew that soon he wouldn't be himself, not tonight anyway. All thinks to that last phase of the full moon. Hiei knew that this day would come, but he didn't know when or where. Of all nights this was the one. He only hoped that they wouldn't get into trouble while they were out. Plus the fact that if Jean and Katie go demon he's dead. Kurama wouldn't be able to fight both of them off, no matter how good he is. Hiei watched as the sun went down and the moon began to rise. He started to feel his demon strange leave him. Kurama noticed that something was wrong so he walked over to him and stood next to him.
"What's wrong?" Kurama whispered.
"Nothing." Hiei snapped and then asked "How?"
"Your hair." Kurama replied.
Hiei looked up and noticed some of his hair had fallen into his face. Out of the corner of his eyes he noticed Botan staring at him a little confused of what she was seeing.
"What's the matter Hiei you don't look like yourself?" Botan asked.
Hiei didn't answer; he just pushed off the wall and headed for the nearest door, which lead to a closet. Hiei slammed the door, lend back against the wall and slid down to the wooden floor. He couldn't see a thing, usually he could see in the dark because of his third eye, but now he was starting to become fully human.
The one thing he had dirge all of his life. Hiei rested his head against the wall and began to think about all that had happened. Not just in the past two days, but of what the demon said about five years before he met Kurama. At that time he was still full demon evil and all. He came up against a demon, which could see into the future and could also cast hexes onto its victims. Hiei had defeated it easily, but right before it died, it told Hiei that he would fall in love with a human girl.
When he did, that human would be the death of him and anyone close to him. For the first time ever in his life he didn't want to hurt anybody. Just the thought of hurting Katie drew him to tears.
As the teardrops fell upon the wooden floor, instead of a soft almost faint splash, there was a ting of a hard object. Hiei jerked back and looked down. He noticed a small glowing red ball by his foot. He reached down and picked it up. It looked like a pearl, but instead of pure white it was red, red like fire. This startled him, because this was the first time he had ever cried, even when was a baby. Hiei stared at it, not noticing the others that formed and rolled down his arm to the floor.
Kurama walked over and lend against the wall by the door to the closet of which Hiei is inside. Kurama knew little of what was happening to his friend nor why. What he did know, Koenma had told him and how Koenma found out was beyond him. He might have read it in some books, or heard it from someone, but where ever it came from Kurama couldn't say. All he knew was Hiei had started to fall for Katie and the curse of which was placed on him years ago, had started to take a hold of Hiei. What Kurama didn't know was how long this curse will be or what it would do to Hiei.
Around eight or so, Jean and Katie came back. Kurama was still lending against the door and almost fell over when he spotted Jean and Katie walked in. They both were wearing almost the same outfits as when they turn into their demon forms, but there was something different. Kurama couldn't figure it out.
"So where's Hiei?" Katie asked.
"In there." Kurama answered nodding his head to the door behind him.
"What in the bloody hell is he doing in there?" Jean asked looking a little confused.
"I don't think I should be the one to tell you?" Kurama replied, trying his best not to stare at Jean.
"Well get his ass out here." Katie screamed in Jean's ear.
"Will you please stop screaming in my ear." Jean screamed, turning around and stared straight at Katie.
Kurama started to notice, Jean was starting to turn demon and did the only thing he could think of to calm her down. Kurama pushed off the wall and wrapped his arms around Jean's waist. Kurama seen Jean's mood change within a second and so he lend down to her ear.
"Calm down Jean." Kurama whispered in the same voice as before.
"Sorry Kurama." Jean whispered back, feeling bad for blowing up at Katie in front of him.
Katie shook her head in disgust, walked past them and before Kurama could stop her, she opened the closet door. Katie took a few steps back and had a very pleasing, but freaked look on her face. Jean and Kurama couldn't see what she was looking at because of the door, but it wasn't opened very long before a hand grabbed the door and slammed to shut. Jean, Katie and Kurama jumped at the bang. Jean and Kurama looked back from the door to Katie, whose expression changed, she now had a stupid grin on her face.
"Kate are you ok?" Jean asked walking towards her after Kurama had let go of her. "Katie?" Jean said snapping her figures in front of her friend's face. Katie jerked back as she came back to life.
"Daaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnn." Katie answered.
"What did you see Kate?" Jean replied.
"Hiei, he, he, he, wow." Katie said speechless.
"What about Hiei?" Kurama wondered.
"He, he, he, he, he's tall." Katie stuttered.
Both Jean and Kurama gave her a very confused look.
"What in the bloody hell are you talking about?" Jean was totally confused; she hated to be left out of things that she wanted to know. "What did you see?"
"Me." Hiei answered as he walked out of the closet.
Jean was so busy trying to get it out of Katie that she didn't notice the closet door open, nor Hiei walking out. But there was something different about him. He was much taller, about six feet, more muscle and his hair wasn't spiked up, instead was down and in his face. The white band around his forehead was gone and so was his Jagan eye.
"Holy shit you're hot." Jean screamed, as she looked Hiei up and down noticing 'everything' about him.
"I told you," Katie added." He's tall."
"Oh yeah damn." Jean replied with a stupid smile on her face.
"Hey, hey he's mine, you've got your own." Katie snapped stepping in between Jean and Hiei and pointing to Kurama.
"Whoa, I know, don't go demonic on me." Jean said taking a couple steps back and stopped next to Kurama. "So what happened to you Hiei?"
Hiei didn't answer, just closed the closet door, walked past Katie and sat down with his back to them. Katie followed Hiei and sat down across from him on his right. Jean grabbed a hold of Kurama's hand and the two of them sat on Hiei's left. Jean was next to Hiei and Kurama sat on her left. Hiei didn't look up, just stared at the wooden floor.
"What did you tell them?" Hiei asked looking up at Kurama.
"Nothing." Kurama answered.
"How much do you know?"
"Some, but not why or how."
Hiei looked back from Kurama to Jean. She and Kurama were sitting to close for just being friends, and the way they've been acting around and looking at each other, Hiei knew that they were soon be together. Hiei looked away from Jean and back to the floor. Out of the corner of his eye he could see Katie watching him, with a worried look on her face. He couldn't look at her, not when he was like this, not when he was so.... human.
"So are you going to tell us or not Hiei?" Katie asked breaking the cold tense silence.
Hiei didn't look up, just took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"About five years before I met Kurama, "Hiei began." I came across a demon, that for some reason unknown wanted me dead." Hiei paused and then continued, "but it was to weak to defeat me so I defeated it easily, but before it died, it put a hex on me." Hiei swallowed hard.
He was wondering if whether or not to tell the whole thing or at least to a point. Hiei swallowed again and decided to swallowed his pride and just say it. "Before the demon died it that it got a glimpse of my future and that I would fall in love with a human girl." Hiei paused again he saw the look on Katie's face out of the corner of his eye.
Finally he looked up off the floor to her and Katie went a little red in the cheeks. "And when I did, she would be the...the death of me and everyone close to me." Hiei finished looking away from Katie, back to the floor. Hiei felt the tense of the silence and before anyone could stop him, Hiei jumped up and ran back into the closet.
"Hiei get you cute ass out of there, NOW." Katie screamed when she realized what happened. Katie shot up and almost got her figures smashed into the door when Hiei slammed it. "Owe watch it Hiei." Katie screamed again as she reached for the doors handle and tried to open the door, but Hiei had locked himself inside. "Hiei unlock this door."
"What's wrong with him?" Jean asked Kurama.
"He told us a little more then he wanted to." Kurama answered.
Jean looked down at her watch it read 8:30.
"Holy shit we have to go." Jean replied standing up and walking over to Katie and Kurama followed her. "Hiei get out of there now, it's time to go," Jean yelled through the closet door. "You said you would go, now you don't want Katie to be unhappy now do you? So get you ass out of there NOW." Jean said and heard a click of the lock; Katie turned the handle and opened the door. "Now that's much better." Jean smiled.
Katie reached in, grabbed Hiei's hand and pulled him out of the closet. "Come on Hiei." Katie said wrapping her left arm around his right. Katie smiled very happily as she started to pull Hiei towards the door.
Jean turned around and realized that Kurama had disappeared without a hint of movement.
"Where in the bloody hell did he get off to?" Jean questioned, as soon as the words left her mouth the door opened a Kurama walked in with a shirt and pants.
Kurama walked over to Hiei and Katie and handed Hiei the clothes.
"I thought you might wont to change before we go?" Kurama said and Hiei looked down and noticed that his black outfit was ripped to pieces.
Hiei took the clothes from Kurama and started for the closet again, but didn't get far because Katie hadn't let go of his arm. Hiei looked down at her and she let go.
"You better come back out Hiei, or I'll have Kurama ripe off the door and I'll kick your ass." Katie said after him as she walked to the closet and leaded against the wall by the door.
Ten minutes later Hiei walked out of the closet wearing a sleeveless black shirt and black pants.
"Good, now we can go." Jean snapped as she was leading against the wall by the door that exited the dojo. Kurama was standing next to her, with his left arm, behind her, around her waist and they were talking about nothing.
"Finally." Katie added as she saw Hiei walk out of the closet and she pushed off the wall and stood beside him.
Hiei nodded is head and the four of them walked out of the door into the moonlight.
