A Lover's Destiny
Chapter 2- Lost and Found
Botan stuck her tongue out. "IT MEANS IDIOT YOU COMPLETE IDIOT!!"
Yusuke stuck his tongue out back. "Shut up and walk. Man I wish you had brought a stinkin' map. This would be a lot easier."
Hikari sighed. "People! How stupid are you? Go a half a mile west and you will be back into the city" Hikari said jumping out of the tree.
"It's not her fault. She just doesn't feel like flying at the moment..." Keiko argued. "What?! Who said that?" Keiko and everyone else turned around.
Hiei jumped down next to Hikari.
Yusuke put on his tough guy act. "Yeah...that's a good question. Who the heck are you? Hikari just growled. "Hiei's girlfriend" she said. Hiei was right next to Hikari, his hand around her waist comfortably.
Yusuke chuckled. "Heh...the shrimp? With a girl friend. Spare me."
Kuwabara laughed. "I never thought the shrimp there could even get anyone"
Botan just hit Yusuke and Kuwabara over their heads with her oar.
"That isn't very nice you two!"
Hikari just flipped them all off and began to walk away. Hiei followed. "This is what I get for helping" she continued to walk.
"Wait! Excuse Yusuke and the other jerks. They mean well...at least I think so..." Keiko explained.
Hikari turned around. She sighed. "Whatever. It's ok. I guess... I'm used to being hated"
Keiko motioned her over. "Sorry for the bad introduction. Oh...and we don't hate you. We just aren't used to Hiei having someone else with him. That's all."
"Usually he's just all solitary and stuff in a corner or a windowsill"
Hikari smiled softly. She came over to the group, followed by Hiei.
Kurama bent over and whispered to Hiei. "I'm glad you've found someone. Good for you Hiei."
Hiei just nodded. Hikari leaned into Hiei. Hiei and Hikari were about... the same height. Actually Hikari was a bit shorter.
Keiko leaned into Yusuke and whispered. "aww...they're so cute together." she held Yusuke's hand.
Kuwabara just grumbled something about 'Hiei has a girlfriend before me...' and 'I hate her more then him now.
Botan over heard Kuwabara and hit Kuwabara over the head, hard enough to knock him out, with her oar.
Yukina heard Kuwabara and understood every word he said. She only smiled at him.
Kuwabara smiled at Yukina. Hiei just growled and Hikari chuckled. She leaned into Hiei more.
Yusuke, trying to get off the subject of romance, came up with another topic. "So...when do you think the next fight will be? Who do you think we'll be fighting?"
Hiei shrugged. Hikari whispered something into his ear and Hiei shrugged again.
Keiko jumped as if she were creeped out. "Oh Yusuke. I hope you don't have to fight that one dude with the horns. He's looks really mean...Sorta like the people that were infected by Makai insects. Ewww...."
"Don't remind me Keiko." Yusuke said.
Botan blinked. "Hikari. Can you fight? If you can then you can help out these idiots out" she asked Hikari.
Hikari nodded. Hiei sighed. "She can even defeat me if she wants to so she can fight" Hiei mumbled.
"Yeah. She can be the alternate fighter if one of us dies!" Yusuke yelled.
"Oh...but I hope that doesn't happen." Yukina said quietly.
Hikari sighed. "I can fight regular. I am stronger then anyone here so I will fight" Hikari growled out, barring her fangs at Kuwabara and Yusuke.
Kuwabara 'eeped' and hid behind Yusuke.
"Oh...right! I forgot we don't have Genkai. I guess you're in then. And if you're anything like Hiei...I'm guessing you'll want to fight as much as possible." Yusuke said.
Hikari nodded. Hiei sighed. "Yusuke... she is more deadly then me. She kills for fun... OW!" Hikari hit him over the head.
Kurama laughed. "Don't tell me you've never done that Hiei."
Hiei grumbled. Hikari sighed. "And I used to do that. Just last week I killed Karasu and the Toguro brothers when I was bored" she said, yawning.
"YOU DID WHAT!?!?!?! Oh man...maybe you're right Hiei. She is worse than you." Yusuke said.
Hikari blinked. "What? Toguro said he was using 100 percent of his strength but he was really weak. Karasu was even weaker"
Kuwabara gulped and hid. "All I know is I'm not going to get her mad" Kuwabara said.
"I never knew there were people as strong as you Hikari. Is Hiei like you? I've only seen him fight once or twice. And that was a while ago." Yukina said.
Hikari smiled. "He is almost as strong as me but not. Hey... you are a koorime aren't you?" Hikari asked Yukina. "I am half fire half koorime like Hiei..." Hikari yawned.
"Um...yes. I am his sister. Though...I'm not exactly like him. I'm an ice koorime." Yukina said.
"Yea. I am mainly fire but some ice koorime" Hikari said smiling.
"Cool." Yukina said smilling.
Hikari nodded. The only one she really liked other then Hiei was Yukina right about now.
Yukina felt sort of close to Hikari. Being that she was the most like her. Hikari sort of felt like a big sister to her.
Hikari smiled. She yawned and leaned into Hiei. Hiei kept his arm around her.
Kuwabara liked Hikari... but wasn't going to say it. He didn't want to get killed by Hiei... or worse... Hikari...
"Well, why dont go back to the Hotel. I can pay for a room for you Hikari." Keiko said. "Since I don't think they'll be expecting you."
Hikari shrugged. "I will just sleep in a tree. They are comfier then beds."
"Fine by me." Yusuke said.
"I don't see how but alright." Keiko said.
Botan sighed. "Hikari. Please sleep in the hotel. It will be fun" she said. Hikari sighed. "Fine."
"Ok...it's settled then!" Keiko smiled.
Hikari smiled softly. She kissed Hiei for a moment and then pulled back. "I will be right back" she vanished, being even faster then Hiei.
Yusuke was confused. "oooookkkk."
"What's with her?" he asked.
Then he caught Hiei's expression. "Never mind."
Hiei sighed. "She will be back. Just... something i--" Something flew over head. "That thing there is trying to kill her and she has to beat it by herself so she is in danger and doesn't want anyone else to get hurt so left"
Keiko screamed. "What!?!" Keiko grabbed onto Yusuke. "Fight it you idiot. You can't just let her do it alone!"
Keiko turned to Hiei. "Unless you're planning to do something about it."
Hiei sighed. "No. If someone helps her, the thing will just come back stronger then ever"
"Could you please let go of my arm Keiko? I think your cutting off my blood circulation." Yusuke said.
Keiko let go instantly. "Oh...right...Sorry Yusuke." Keiko blushed.
Hiei sighed.
*at the hotel*
Hiei sat on a couch, looking out the window. There was a balcony there but he didn't feel like going onto it.
A knock came from the door. "Hello. Hiei? May I come in?" It was Yukina.
Hiei sighed. "Sure you can come in"
The door creaked and Yukina came in. "Hello Hiei. How are you tonight?"
She sat down on the couch next to him.
Before Hiei could answer, he saw something fall onto the balcony. It was Hikari. She was bleeding heavily. Hiei ran outside and picked her up and laid her on the a different couch since there were two in the room. "Oh crap!" he began to look at her stomach which had a hole all the way through it. Hikari was unconscious.
"Hiei..." Yukina said calmly.
"I...I think I can heal her somewhat."
Hiei nodded. There were a whole lot of cuts all over Hikari but mainly her stomach.
Yukina laid her hands on Hikari. They were emitting a blue energy and were very cooling. If Hikari were conscious...they would have helped ease her pain. But she wasn't
.
The healing process began and some of the cuts were looking better already. But that one big gash on her stomach, it looked as if it would take forever to heal.
Hiei sighed, still worried.
"Hiei...do you have anywhere you could put her. I don't think it's safe to keep her out here." Yukina said softly. As if to calm him a bit.
Hiei nodded. "In the bed room on the bed I guess" He picked her up and slowly walked into the room, careful not to wake her or anything.
Yukina sighed. "I've never seen Hiei like this."
Hiei put Hikari on the bed gently. He sat next to her.
Yukina walked in quietly. She watched Hiei for a bit. He looked worried and she felt sympathy for him. It was sad to see this happen to a person like him and a person like Hikari.
Hiei stroked Hikari's hair gently. She instantly, even though like asleep, cuddled to him.
Yukina only watched. Then she walked over to Hiei.
"Hiei. You two really appear to care for eachother. I think I'll leave you guys alone for a while. Come to the girls apartment room if you need me. I suppose you could say im on call for the night. I'll be back around 9:00 to change her dressings. If that's alright with you." Yukina said.
"Unless...you would like to do it yourself." she said hugging him.
Hiei smiled softly. "I will. I don't want to bother you"
"Very well. Good night Hiei." Yukina said as she snuck out the door and out of the apartment room.
Hiei sighed and continued to stroke Hikari's hair.
*back at the girls apartment room*
"Where were you Yukina?" Keiko asked.
"I was...um...with Hiei." she responded solemnly.
Botan blinked. But nodded. She laid on the couch boredily.
Hiei sat on the bed, still stroking Hikari's hair worriedly.
Then the door slammed open. "Hello? Hiei? Are you here?" Yusuke yelled across the apartment room.
