*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The gang........
Botan was only half-worried."Well?Where is he?You didn't lose him did you?With his Jagan you ought be able to find her easily!"
Yukina looked decently worried.Though she didn't know he was her brother,she cared about him."Do you know if he's alright?"
Kate blinked then seemed to have completely forgotten that they weren't supposed to tell them the truth."Ah,I'm sure he's fine!We found Lizzie,but Steroid Guy came and got 'er.'Parrently he heard we were lookin' fer 'er,dumb little ass.Anyways,Hiei went off lookin' fer her.Kurama,Kuwabara,and Yusuke pretended to,but just went to those bushes over there."She nodded her head in the direction of where they had hidden."They knew Hiei would leave to look fer her 'cause he's not the type to sit around doin' nutin.When they saw him leave they came out and we were just talkin' when you came up!"She smiled as Kuwabara,Yusuke,and Kurama tried frantically and in vain to get her to stop talking.
Botan was aghast.((Don't ask me what it means!I think it means horrified))"You're just sitting here talking while Lizzie's out there somewhere with Toguro!!He'll kill her if she doesn't do as he tells her to!!"She was furious now.
Kate blinked then looked at the guys."I wasn't supposed to tell her that was I?"Botan had flown herself and Yukina to the clearing they were in on her oar.She used it to thwack them all over the head,save Yukina((who looked horrifed))of course.
Yusuke began chasing Kate."YOU LITTLE DUMBASS!!!WHY"D YOU TELL HER?!?!?!"Kurama immediatly stood up at the thought of anyone calling a Princess a "dumbass".He stood in the center of the circle Yusuke was chasing Kate in.
Yukina had her hand over her mouth,for Yusuke was aiming his Spirit Gun at Kate and Kurama was trying to hit yusuke with his Rose Whip."Shouldn't we do something,Botan?"
Botan was watching Yusuke,her head following the circle."No,I think that Yusuke can take care of himself.And he'll never hit Kate with his Spirit Gun.Since he's running,his target is always changing positions."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Lizzie and Hiei.......
Lizzie was looking right into Hiei's eyes,though slightly downwards.Her mouth was moving soundlessly.Hiei was looking up into Lizzie's eyes,his mouth slightly open.
'Oh,no!The secret's out!I shouldn't have done that!!I should've made a sarcastic comment!!Not help her up!'
'It can't be....He doesn't care about anyone!Does he?I mean,he cares about Kurama and that Ice Apparition,Yukina,I know that from watching the Dark Tournament.But he barely knows me.Does he just act like a tough guy around people?'
Without warning,Lizzie ran off back towards the town behind her.She was scared.She couldn't help it.On the way there,both her shoes fell off her feet.They were the only reason she was taller than Hiei,the tennis-shoes she was wearing had 3 inch soles.
Once she was back in the town,she sat down on the same rock as she had been on earlier.She opened her locket again and looked at the boy in the jeans and faded blue shirt.Tears started rolling down her cheeks."Where are you?It's been so long....Are you alive?Oh,brother,brother....We were like Ying and Yang,light and dark,peanut butter and chocolate....((hehe!Me like PB and C!))What happened?After that day,I never saw you again...."
*****FLASHBACK!!((Lizzie's POV))*****
It was December the 30th,my birthday.We had been in this world,the Human World.We had just been to Mount Fugi,my surprise birthday gift from you.We were on the bus back to the city.The bus went onto an old,icy bridge.The driver turned to the kids behind him to tell them to stop fighting,then it happened.The bus swerved.The driver couldn't control it.The bus went off the bridge and into the rocky ditch.I heard screaming,felt someone grab onto me and force me back into the seat while they stood over me.It must have been you,I couldn't see so I don't know for sure.If it was you,your arm brushed pass my face,I felt it.You must've been reaching for something.It was you,I remember now....I got my sight back for just a minute.I saw your face,right over mine,your right arm was next to me protecting me.Your watch said it was 5:00 p.m.You took the majority of the damage for me.You looked like you'd had a fight with a blender and lost.There was a strange mirror in your hand,the full moon was rising in the distance.Then it all went black again,but different.It was black,soundlessly black.
I must have gotten knocked out.I woke up in a hospital bed.I saw the window out of the corner of my eye.It was dark.I looked at the clock.It read 11:59p.m.Almost midnight.Every inch of me ached.The full moon was outside my window.Shining it's brightest.Like it was you watching me.I fell asleep again.I dreamed of you.I dreamed of only you,laughing with me,reading to me,telling me jokes,and protecting me.
When I woke up the next day I felt much better.I heard someone talking about the accident to one of the doctors.They said that everyone they found had lived.They had found all but one.A boy.You.
*****END FLASHBACK((Author's POV))*****
"Why didn't they find you?Please,I want to know...."Tears were running down her face like runners in the New York Marathon."The moon is shining ever bright,on a phoenix taking flight.Clouds cover it, so none shall see,all the beauty there will be.The moon light disappears.The clouds part, the meadow fills with light,the moon shines, my face shines near as bright.A boy enters, a boy I think I know.He looks as he's never seen me, though.And the moon light disappears.'Raine,' he calls, 'come and land.'The phoenix lands upon my hand!I look upwards, towards the sky,and wonder if I could learn to fly to where the moon light disappears.He comes towards me, and kisses my cheek.I look at him and see his tears leak.With tearstained face and sweating hand,I knew as I drew my eyes from the land,the moon light never, truly, disappears."
Lizzie sensed someone watching her,but she didn't care.All she cared about right now was him.Him and his poem.Where had they gone to?"That was your special poem for me.When ever you rhymed,I'd point it out that you should be a poet.But you'd just say,'Hm...I guess I'm a poet and don't know it!But my feet show it.They're Longfellows!'Oh,how we would laugh!"She started to gasp for breath.Then she felt hand on her shoulder.She looked up at the owner of the arm.Hiei.His eyes were sparkling,his face looked wet,his cheeks looked red.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*The gang.............
Yusuke was still chasing Kate,Kurama was still trying to hit Yusuke with the Rose Whip.He had succeeded a few times.Botan and Yukina were still watching.Kuwabara had fallen asleep.
Puu was tired of almost being flung off Yusuke's head so he decided to go sit in Yukina's arms."Puu!!!Puu,puu,PUUUU!!!!"He was trying to get them to stop fighting.
Kate came to an abrupt stop.Yusuke ran into her on accident.Kurama accidentally hit Kate with his Rose Whip.Kate didn't budge at all."Somethings wrong...."
"Yes,Your Hi-....Kate,It is wrong for-"
"No!I mean,something is REALLY wrong.I can sense it.I don't care that he called me a dumbass...."She was looking down the road Toguro had run with Lizzie."I think it's them.Hiei and Lizzie.It's in that direction."
Kuwabara had woken and was right behind Kate looking in that direction also."Yeah.I think it's them too.Let's make sure they're alright!"He ran off down the road closely followed by Kate.Kurama,Yusuke,Botan,and Yukina came after them.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Hiei and Lizzie........
Lizzie was staring at Hiei in disbeleif.'He wasn't crying.I know he wasn't.He never cries.Never!At least,I don't think he does....But,was he crying for me?'She kept her steady gaze into his eyes,her mouth moving soundlessly again.
Hiei stared at her.'Does she know?Maybe I should tell her.....Should I tell her?No!She's a Hanyou!!But,I love her....What should I do?I'll just tell her,but not now.Now,she needs to just...she just needs to cry.Let out her feelings.'Hiei sat down on the rock next to Lizzie and embraced her like a brother would embrace a younger sister.Her head on his chest;her arms drawn around her shoulders like she were shivering;his arms around her back;his head on top of hers.
Lizzie had no objections.She just sat there with her head over his heart and cried.She couldn't help it,she knew she should try to stop,but couldn't.It felt good to be able to cry again.She hadn't since she was 14.In fact,it was a few days after her 14th b-day.That's when he had been declared dead,but she didn't believe them.But the most recent picture she had of him was from 3 years earlier,when he was 13,she 11.But he hadn't changed much in 3 years.She kept crying,she just couldn't stop.
HIei was gently moving his hand up and down on her back,like he had done.She could feel Hiei's tears on her head,Hiei was crying with her,like he had done.'Is this him?Is it?NO!Hiei could never be him!Never!But Hiei is so much like him.....'She slid closer to him."Hiei...."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~ Gang......
Kate came running up then came to a complete stop at the sight.She turned around and started running back towards the others.'Wow!They really love each other!'She looked down at her watch.'Holy Hell!!It's a quarter 'til midnight?!?!'She stopped in front of the others,who had stopped to take a breather."Guys!We gotta get Lizzie but I don't wanna interupt her!We only got 15 minutes!!!"
Kurama looked around them.Yusuke looked at his watch."It's only 9 p.m."
Kate looked back down at her watch."Oopps!Fergot meh watch's minute hand is shorter than the hour hand!Heheheh?"Her cheeks turned bright red.
Botan looked intrigued,being herself,she invaded."What do you mean by 'don't wanna interupt'?Hm?C'mon!Spill!"Kate blushed deeper.
"Uhhh....?She was um....Talking!To herself...Yeah!I didn't want to inerupt her train of thought....Yeah!That's it yeah!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hiei and Lizzie.......
"Lizzie?"Hiei was rubbing her back,absentmindedly.He moved his hand up to her head and started stroking it.
Lizzie was still crying,but was brought back to earth by the sound of her name."Yeah?"
"Are you alright?If something is bothering you,you can always tell Kurama.He knows how to make almost anyone feel better...."
"I'm fine...."She didn't want to really tell him or Kurama.She didn't want to tell anyone,but she had to tell someone eventually.She was crying,but silently.She didn't have to gasp for breath anymore."Can I tell you something?A secret?"
"You would be better off telling the Kitsune...."
She looked up at him."But I want to tell you,not Kurama.Please?"Her eyes were shining in the light of the full moon.
"Alright,I'm listening...."
"I...."She didn't know quite how to say it,so she showed him the boy in her locket,making sure her thumb covered the picture of him((hiei))."You were right.I'm not okay.This is why.This boy...."
"What did he do to you?"Hiei thought that he was Lizzie's old boyfriend and he had dumped her or something like that,so he was angry."Did he hurt you?"
"No....Well....yea,but he didn't mean to...."She realied what Hiei was thinking."I mean,no.He didn't hurt me.Not physically anyway.Emotionally,spiritually."She fought back a wave of tears.She didn't want to cry anymore.He would not have liked it for her to cry for him,if he were still alive....'I won't cry,I won't!He always told me I was never to cry for him.I promised I wouldn't!I've got to at least try to keep my promise....'She couldn't hold them anymore.Tears were pouring out of her eyes.
"I'll kill him for hurting you,Lizzie,I promise...."Hiei was muttering so Lizzie couldn't understand him.
"What?Did you say something,Hiei?"
"No,nothing.....How did he hurt you emotionally?"He was determined to find out what this boy did,but if she didn't want to tell he wouldn't make her.
"He...."She couldn't say it.She never had been able to.But she would say this once,just for him,Hiei."He disappeared....On my birthday....No one ever found him,they say he's dead by now....I don't believe them,the lying bastards....He has to be alive....He promised me he'd always be there for me...."She wiped away some of the tears in her eyes.'But promises can't always be kept.No one,save Lord Jesus,has or ever will be able to always make promises they can keep....'
Hiei was shocked.'This boy must have loved Lizzie and Lizzie must have loved him.She still does.I can't make her forget him,it wouldn't be right.I won't tell her....I can't tell her now....'He blinked away tears."I'll help you fiind him....I promise...."
Lizzie looked up at Hiei agian."You will?"He nodded.There was a long silence.Both of them longed to tell their deepest secret that was now biting away at the insides of them.((I read WAY too much))Lizzie broke the silence."Hiei,there's something else I want to tell you,I just don't know quite how to say it...."She looked at the picture of the boy in her locket then back up ate Hiei.
"You don't have to tell me anything if you don't want to."He began stroking her head again.He touched her hand gently.
"Hiei?"
"Yes,Lizzie?"
"I....well....I....really like you.Kinda as more than a friend.You know what I mean?"She had stopped crying at Hiei's gentle touch.
