Chapter Four:
Hiei was in Kurama's house. He was utterly bored and was sick of Kurama's human mother asking so many unintelligent questions. He felt like killing the annoying human. He wanted to use his katana and slit her throat open. But he had to refrain himself from doing so. He knew if he killed this woman, Kurama would never forgive him. But either way he was bored as hell there. Kurama wasn't home so he couldn't talk to him. After five minutes the human mother once again came into the living room. He knew she was about to begin another boring conversation.
(Kurama's Mother) So, you must be one of Suichi's friends . . .
(Hiei) You have already known that for quite a while know.
(Kurama's Mother) I know. But it's just that I keep forgetting your name.
(Hiei Thinking) How ignorant can this woman be!?
(Kurama's Mother) Are you okay? You seem to be deep in thought . . .
(Hiei Thinking) Take that! Let's hear you say crap now!
Hiei was imaging himself strangling the woman and torturing her. He was sick of her kindness. He just wanted to leave so he got up and left without a word. He was walking in the streets of Kurama's neighborhood. He was thoughtful. He needed to find out more about that demon girl. Especially because of that weird dream he had.
~Hiei's Dream~ Hiei stood in a cold and barren place. He was alone. Or so he thought he was alone. He was fighting. But he couldn't see clearly with all the smog that was in the area. He then caught a glimpse of the two that were fighting. It was him . . . but he didn't recognize the other fighter.
(Hiei) Who the hell could that be . . .?
Then he knew who it was. It was that demon he had fought the other day in the clearing. She was much younger as was he. But why he didn't know. He just unsheathed her katana and headed straight toward the little demon girl. He had a lot of spiritual energy emitting from his small body. But the girl who appeared to be that demon he fought with a while ago wouldn't attack. She just let him hit her. He continued to mutilate her. But she just stood there. Then he heard them talk.
(Child Hiei) Why won't you fight back!?
(Demon Girl) I can't. I won't attack a friend . . .
(Child Hiei) A friend? Well look who's getting all soft! Friends are a crutch for the weak! It will always be like that!
(Demon Girl) But it doesn't have to be that way . . . *a tear slid down her cheek*
(Child Hiei) Look at you. You're weak. You even cry before your opponent!
(Demon Girl) But you're not my opponent!
(Child Hiei) Save it! I don't need to hear from weaklings like you!
(Demon Girl) Hiei wait! Don't leave . . . me here alone.
(Child Hiei) * he stopped walking* You're just as weak as the other demons. If you ever wished to be anything then you had better start training. Next time we meet. We will fight . . . Katgi. *Leaves*
(Katgi) Hiei!
~Back to Hiei~ Hiei kept playing that dream in his mind over and over. But He never really understood why he would dream of that day. Then he stopped. He was being followed. It was probably Kurama but when he turned around he was shocked. Before him stood the demon girl, whom he had fought with. He was surprised. Out of all places they could meet they were in the human world.
(Katgi) So you remember me huh?
(Hiei) In a way . . .
(Katgi) IN A WAY!? HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT!? *throws a rock at him* (Hiei) Your aim is still off . . . , are you sure you're a class A demon?
(Katgi) OH I OUGHT TO-
(Hiei) Ought to what? Cry like you did years ago?
(Katgi) I hate it when people think I'm weak! Especially for showing emotions. Well at least I have a heart! What do you have!?
(Hiei) . . .
(Katgi) Huh? I can't hear you!
(Hiei) I may not be able to express emotions like you do. But I do have a heart and feel emotions as well.
(Katgi) Yeah right! *pouts*
(Hiei) Whatever. Like I said years ago. We'll fight again. And when we do it will be to the-
(Katgi) Death. I know you say it every time.
(Hiei) Well I didn't know the fool knew what I meant. Besides you were always the one who was lost in conversations.
(Katgi) I RESENT THAT COMMENT!
(Hiei) Hn. I think it's time we both went our own ways.
(Katgi) Yeah . . . you're right. It's late and our allies will be curious of our whereabouts. So until we see again Hiei . . . huh?
When she looks to see Hiei, he was no longer there. No one was. The streets were empty. She went running down the sidewalk in search of him. But she tripped on a cracked area of sidewalk and fell to the ground. She was in tears. All she could do was sob over her lost friendship. She couldn't believe that this demon was the same demon who used to be a great childhood friend. But ever since he became a class A demon, he learned to hate, to steal, and even to kill for fun. She didn't like that Hiei. She wanted her old friend.
(Katgi) Hiei . . . I promised myself that I would always be friends with you. So I will also promise myself this now. I will make you see the friendship we had. So that we may one day be good friends again . . .
And as the wind blew, she lay there. Motionless. All that moved were the tears that slid down her face. She then stood up and disappeared into the foggy night. Little did she know that Hiei was watching her the whole time.
(Hiei) I know we had a good friendship. But that was the past and this is the present. What happens in the future no one will ever know. But may it be something that brings you happiness . . . friend.
And with that he departed into the cold night that had ensued because of the sudden drop in temperature. He was headed to Kurama's house. He could no longer sit idly by and let these memories come rushing back to him. They were painful memories that he rather he never knew about.
