Chapter 3: Why Hiei is so Cold
"Eukina? Eukina, where are you?" Kima had been awake since he kicked her in his sleep and looked at Hiei. He must have been having a bad dream, though she wouldn't know what one was. In fact, she didn't know much of anything. All she knew was that she had to act dumb and pretend she didn't know anything until she could get Roger back for what he did, and that dumb bitch Kimiko, too. But staring at Hiei, she couldn't help but worry, and her eyes turned an orangey color. She had never worried about anyone before, but Hiei was super special. She didn't know why, and she didn't care at the moment, she just wanted him to stop sweating. She put a hand in the middle of his chest and leaned down to whisper in his ear.
"HEE-Yay." He stirred a little, and she put on her cute voice, then barked and nipped at his ear. That gesture shot him out of his dream and into the place where dreams were pleasant and your girlfriend was kissing you and...
"Big red flag!" He yelled as he sat up. He looked around and saw the girl from his dreams sitting next to him and remembered everything. Much to his disappointment, she was an android, and she couldn't love him. She smiled her clueless smile again.
"Woof." She said playfully.
"Christ," Hiei mumbled. "What time is it?"
*GLOMP*
Kima jumped right into his arms and pushed him back into the bed.
"Who cares? You need to sleepy sleepy sleep. You need to talk to Eukina." Hiei stared at her and realized he must have been talking in his sleep. "You know, my happiness makes you frown." Hiei stared at her puzzled, and realizing she said something intelligent, she quickly saved herself. "Turn that frown upside down!" She grabbed his face, but the Eukina topic had pissed him off.
"Get the Hell away from me, damn bitch!" Kima sat back, hurt, (and she wasn't just acting, she was really hurt and she didn't know why) and hung her head. "Kima, I'm- 'what? I'm sorry? No I'm not, I am done being a goddamn bucket o' emotions!' Stop being so goddamn annoying!" Kima cocked her head cluelessly, but her mind was racing.
'Eukina, hmm.... She must have been really close to him or something. And I wonder what he was asking his mom to stop doing... I wonder...'
"Hiei?"
"Christ, What now?"
"Mommies are all nice aren't they?"
"Bull shit!" Hiei snapped back. "Some mommies are whores who tell their children they aren't worth anything and then sell them during the week, and use them themselves to soak up their own need. And if that's not bad enough, they kill your little sister whom you are trying to protect." Hiei lay pissed of and hot, his eyes crazy now and full of hate.
'So that's it.' Kima thought. 'That's why you are so cold. Don't worry my Hiei, I'll teach you to love again, I promise.'
The next morning, Hiei awoke entangled in an elaborate web of legs, hair, and girl. She had had a rough night, he decided. He vaguely remembered yelling at her and calling her names, but other than that, they had a pretty much eventless night. Kima had been awake for God knows how long, and since it was one o'clock, he was mad that she hadn't woken him up.
"Your wakey, wakey, wakey! And I made you breakfast!" Hiei sat up and stared at the elaborate dishes in front of him. "It's because I was a damn bitch. I'm sorry." He looked at her but, determined to keep a better hold on his emotions, didn't react. But as soon as he took the first bite and tasted her love and hard work in it, he shrugged his shoulders.
"Apology excepted." He mumbled. She smiled brightly but realized she had better keep an eye on this one, he might actually be smart.
"Hiei, do you like me?" Hiei looked at her and almost choked.
"What?"
"Well last night you kissed me."
"Yeah, so?"
"Do you like me? 'Cause if you do I would like you to kiss me where everyone else does, not on the top of the head but on the mouth." Why were those the words she chose? That was stupid of her, very stupid. She couldn't understand what was going on inside of her. These feelings were not programmed in, were they? To her knowledge, she had been built to destroy and that was it. Why, how was she falling in love? She wasn't, she wasn't falling in love, that was impossible. But she couldn't shake the feeling of disappointment when Hiei didn't answer her question. He simply shrugged it off.
"Last night was kinda... well it was shit, and dammit, I'm sorry but I was pissed, about a lot of things. The way I acted last night, the good and the bad-especially the good-is likely to never happen again, so you better get used to me being a cold, bitter asshole."
"Why?"
"Because that's the way I am."
"But why are you like that? You have a nice smile and a wonderful laugh, why do you want to throw it all away and act mean and bitter?" Hiei cocked his head and stared at her with that something-is-up look.
"You know, sometimes you sound a hella' lot smarter that you actually are." Kima bit her tongue. 'Watch yourself,' she thought.
"ME? I AM smart! Why would you think other wise? All puppies are smart!"
"Never mind," Hiei mumbled. He saw the girl still expecting an answer on the whole why question, so he figured he'd get it out of the way.
"Um... do you remember when I snapped at you last night?" She nodded and he continued. "Well, I did that because I had a bad dream-do you know what a dream is? No? It's like when you see something in your head but it isn't really happening- a bad dream about my mother. She was, well, a prostitute, and she made me one, too. And when people wouldn't pay for me, she would take me to the back and 'train' me." Kima knew what he was talking about, but didn't cringe because it would give her away. 'Poor baby, he was molested?' He sighed and stuffed his hands in his pockets.
"When she did sell me, it was mostly to men who liked not only to touch, but to kiss, which is why I refuse to kiss you on the mouth-sorry if that disappoints-and I would usually stay out of school because the day was almost as active as night when it came to selling yourself. I didn't mind though. In some strange corner of my mind, it didn't bother me what she did to me, because that meant she wasn't going to touch my little sister, Eukina. I think this bugged her, because she killed my sister and told me that I wasn't focusing enough on my work. Yep, she killed her. It was about a year after that-I think I was ten-Which I met Kurama, who had been looking for a partner to train with. With out Eukina, I had no reason to listen to my mother, nor did I have any desire in being under her one more night. So I begged him-one of the last times I ever begged-and he agreed to let me accompany him on his journey. We've been friends for five years, and he left me yesterday for some girl, so I was pretty pissed last night. And I had that dream about Eukina and my mother and-'' Kima had wrapped her arms around him and told him it would be okay, that he would get through this hell that he had to suffer from. She was remarkably warm for an android, and he was reluctant to be the tough boy he was normally. But he was able to muster the strength to push her away.
"What? Do I remind you of your mommy?"
"Don't call her that."
"Why?"
"Because I-Just don't, okay?" She nodded. She figured she would call it a day and end the interrogation here for now. She could pick it up later, but Hiei needed to be alone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~At Roger's Mansion~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Is she gone?" Kimiko tried to stand, but the evil thing had shattered her ankle. The doctor had said it would take a very long time to heal, and Roger was upset about that too. He was fuming when Enslin burst through the door.
"Sire, She is GONE!"
"What do you mean, she's gone?"
"The dumpster! It was ransacked, and someone took her body!" Roger picked up Kimiko and headed toward the car. Get Kimiko out of here, take her someplace safe."
"But, what about you, Roger?" He dropped her carefully into the front seat and kissed her deeply and passionately.
"I have to find her, who knows what she killed? She could be on a rampage, and I'm the only one that can stop her."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back at Hiei's Apartment~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Get that damn thing away from me!" Hiei swatted the bird out of her hand and she watched the poor thing fall off the balcony and hit with a sick thud on the ground below. Hiei watched as she stared at the bird's dead body. Kima, though built to kill, had never seen a dead body before, ever. She just stared at it in awe.
"He's not moving." She mumbled at last.
"Of course he's not! That damn bird was a weakling and now it's dead." Kima looked at him, astonished. He wasn't the same man that he was last night, but she liked the sort of edge he had. He might be of some use to her...
"Can we bury him?"
"Why would we do that?"
"Because you killed him, it's the honorable thing to do." Because she looked a little hurt that the bird was dead-she should have been more concerned, but let's face it, she was a robot-he stood up and walked toward the door.
"C'mon, let's go bury that damn bird." She happily ran after him and followed close behind him. Once they got in the elevator, Kima was out. She had no idea why she did anything that follow, but it pissed her off do much, she asked Hiei if he would switch out her memory disks for her. (Of course he didn't, because she went out again and this time she didn't come back till night.)
When they were standing in the elevator, Kima looked around. They were all alone in a very small room, a very small room. She wrapped her arms around Hiei's waist and shoved her way between his chest and his arm. She nuzzled her head onto his chest in a way that quickened his pulse (this is the only thing Kima would remember about the event) and piss him off. He opened his mouth to say something, but the elevator stopped and an old lady got in. Hiei became even more pissed when she started talking to them. He was glad Kima left her mouth shut, though.
"What a cute couple, ho ho, youngin's these days, always fallen in love. She's a cute one too, don't you let her get away, sonny. The two of you remind me of... Oh darn, here's my floor. I hope to see you two love birds later," she shouted of=over her shoulder, stepped out, and the doors closed. 'Yeah,' Hiei thought. 'Darn.' She shifted a little, and the doors opened.
Kima nearly screamed when he threw her out the door and went to push the door close button. She stared at him horrified, not sure what was wrong. She watched as the doors shut and he disappeared. He didn't come back, but she knew he would, so she sat on the marble and waited. It still amazed her how beautiful the apartment building was and the lobby that she was now in was even more amazing than Hiei's apartment.
The floors were all marble, a sort of bluish color that seemed to insinuate royalty or death. The walls had very beautiful designs on them, but she didn't know what they were. She would do research on them later. The ceiling had paintings much like Michelangelo's, but Kima knew they weren't. When she had waited thirty minutes and Hiei still didn't come down, she went to go bury the bird.
Hiei was pissed. That was the jest of it. Hiei had known this girl for almost 24 hours now, and she was making him tell her things he wasn't sure he'd told Kurama. And why? Because she's innocent? No, he knew better than that. She was a damned robot; she had to have some sort of memory back up function, something that had to remind her of why she was built. She couldn't just wake up clueless. You don't make a machine like and NOT give it memory output, unless you were an idiot. And you couldn't be one to make a machine like that. Hiei put a hand to his chest. She was so real, so life-like. He thought how he smiled when she nipped at his ear, and how he had melted when she jumped around at the dump. She was just so damn cute! He didn't know what to do, and he really hated the little bitch inside him telling him that he needed to go get her.
'Go get her.'
'Why?'
'Because you want to.'
'What makes you so sure?'
'You love her.'
'HA! I knew it! You don't know anything! How can I fall in love with someone I just met?'
'How did Kurama fall in love with Susdime?'
'That's, um... that's way different.'
'Is it? Is it really different, Hiei?'
"FUCK!" He screamed, throwing something at the wall. "I don't want to fall in love! I can't, I'm incapable of love! I am! I can't love her because I'm the son of a whore and that makes me a bastard. Bet you didn't think of that, did you bitch?" He had realized he was screaming out loud, and shoved his hands in his pockets. He was yelling and spilling his guts to... whom? The voice in his head? Was it him he was truly fighting with? He could have sworn the voice in his head was a female, but it never returned that night. "Shit," he mumbled. "Kurama really fucked up my life, didn't he?"
Hiei had never intended on going down stairs, nor had he prepared to be worried when Kima wasn't waiting for him. But, much to his dismay, he flipped out.
"Kima?" She didn't pop her head out from behind anything, so he figured she wasn't playing. She was really gone. 'The Bird' he thought. 'She went to bury that stupid bird.' He ran out the doors and around the corner. No Kima, no bird. They were gone. Frantically he ran around to the back of the building and saw her hunched over a pile of dirt humming a funeral dirge. "Oh thank god." She turned her head and smiled.
"You missed the whole thing." He just grabbed her by the collar of the shirt and hoisted her into his arms. "Hiei?"
"Don't ever, EVER scare me like that again, okay? I'm sorry I pushed you out of the elevator, but don't walk off again, do you hear me?"
"Okay Hiei, I won't." She brought her arms up and around him and fussed over him. "I promise. Calm down now, I made a promise. Now I can't break it."
'See?' The voice said. 'You love her, and you want to protect her.' Hiei nodded. He would accept that, and only that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Roger's Mansion 12:00 am~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hiei had followed Kima that night. She had thought she had snuck away without him noticing, but he hadn't even been asleep. He hadn't slept because he wanted to sort things out. That's when he felt her get up and leave, so he decided to follow.
"Roger?" She looked around the dark room, as did Hiei, who was cleverly concealed in the shadows. He tensed a little as the dark form approached her. Though the light was dim, Hiei adjusted his eyes to get a better look at this man.
"K.I.M.A. what brings you here?"
"I want to ask you something. Will you answer my questions?" Hiei ground his teeth together as the man in black grabbed her, pulled her close, and dropped his mouth onto hers.
"Of course." He finally said.
"Why did you create me?"
"I didn't."
"Then who did? And why?'
"You were designed with all your emotions and programmed to act just like a human, because my wife had died, and I wanted you built."
"So you bought me?"
"Yes." He still had his arms around her. "And I fell in love with you."
"And I you." Those words stabbed Hiei in the heart, and it dropped so fast he thought it would fall out. She was in love with someone else. Oh how that hurt. "But you met that demon bitch Kimiko and now you are all hers?"
"I love Kimiko, as I love you. But Kimiko is flesh and blood, and you are not. She can... bear children."
"So then, you threw me away?"
"You tried to kill her!"
"She asked for it!"
"You attacked her!"
"You assumed it came out of no where!" Roger brought something from behind his back and stuck it in hers. Her screamed jolted Hiei away from his thoughts, and he stared angrily down at the bastard who hurt his love. He then pulled a gun from his pocket and aimed it at her head.
"I assume to much. I will make sure you are dead." The gun fired, but blood coated his hands, and the robot was gone.
Hiei ran, despite the pain in his arm, al the way to his apartment, into his room and onto the bed. He fell on it hard, with her in his arms and curled up with her. The blood that pumped from his arm bothered him not at all. All that mattered was that this asshole hurt his Kima and now he was pissed and scared. He didn't care if she loved Roger and not him, it didn't matter right now. He just wanted her back, that was enough. She could hate him for eternity if she would just come back. He held her close to him and, for the second time in the history of his being, he cried for someone he loved.

CHAPTER 4: KISS OF COMPASSION! (Preview)
"Hiei, what is wrong with your arm?" Hiei rolls over and stares at it for two seconds and then looks back to her.
"Are you okay?"
"Me? You're the one pumping out blood all over the place!"
"I'm a demon, a yokai if you would, and wounds like these are nothing. I may have lost a lot of blood, but it will have healed." She just stared at him and he pulled her close and looked deep into her eyes. "I thought about what you asked me, and I think I can trust you." He lowered his mouth to hers and his heartbeat accelerated. It was time. He grabbed her shoulders and lowered his mouth to hers.... Review so you can see the rest!
"Eukina? Eukina, where are you?" Kima had been awake since he kicked her in his sleep and looked at Hiei. He must have been having a bad dream, though she wouldn't know what one was. In fact, she didn't know much of anything. All she knew was that she had to act dumb and pretend she didn't know anything until she could get Roger back for what he did, and that dumb bitch Kimiko, too.

Hiei had never intended on going down stairs, nor had he prepared to be worried when Kima wasn't waiting for him. But, much to his dismay, he flipped out.
"Kima?" She didn't pop her head out from behind anything, so he figured she wasn't playing. She was really gone. 'The Bird' he thought. 'She went to bury that stupid bird.' He ran out the doors and around the corner. No Kima, no bird. They were gone. Frantically he ran around to the back of the building and saw her hunched over a pile of dirt humming a funeral dirge. "Oh thank god." She turned her head and smiled.
"You missed the whole thing." He just grabbed her by the collar of the shirt and hoisted her into his arms. "Hiei?"
"Don't ever, EVER scare me like that again, okay? I'm sorry I pushed you out of the elevator, but don't walk off again, do you hear me?"
"Okay Hiei, I won't." She brought her arms up and around him and fussed over him. "I promise. Calm down now, I made a promise. Now I can't break it."
'See?' The voice said. 'You love her, and you want to protect her.' Hiei nodded. He would accept that, and only that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Roger's Mansion 12:00 am~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hiei had followed Kima that night. She had thought she had snuck away without him noticing, but he hadn't even been asleep. He hadn't slept because he wanted to sort things out. That's when he felt her get up and leave, so he decided to follow.
"Roger?" She looked around the dark room, as did Hiei, who was cleverly concealed in the shadows. He tensed a little as the dark form approached her. Though the light was dim, Hiei adjusted his eyes to get a better look at this man.
"K.I.M.A. what brings you here?"
"I want to ask you something. Will you answer my questions?" Hiei ground his teeth together as the man in black grabbed her, pulled her close, and dropped his mouth onto hers.
"Of course." He finally said.
"Why did you create me?"
"I didn't."
"Then who did? And why?'
"You were designed with all your emotions and programmed to act just like a human, because my wife had died, and I wanted you built."
"So you bought me?"
"Yes." He still had his arms around her. "And I fell in love with you."
"And I you." Those words stabbed Hiei in the heart, and it dropped so fast he thought it would fall out. She was in love with someone else. Oh how that hurt. "But you met that demon bitch Kimiko and now you are all hers?"
"I love Kimiko, as I love you. But Kimiko is flesh and blood, and you are not. She can... bear children."
"So then, you threw me away?"
"You tried to kill her!"
"She asked for it!"
"You attacked her!"
"You assumed it came out of no where!" Roger brought something from behind his back and stuck it in hers. Her screamed jolted Hiei away from his thoughts, and he stared angrily down at the bastard who hurt his love. He then pulled a gun from his pocket and aimed it at her head.
"I assume to much. I will make sure you are dead." The gun fired, but blood coated his hands, and the robot was gone.
Hiei ran, despite the pain in his arm, al the way to his apartment, into his room and onto the bed. He fell on it hard, with her in his arms and curled up with her. The blood that pumped from his arm bothered him not at all. All that mattered was that this asshole hurt his Kima and now he was pissed and scared. He didn't care if she loved Roger and not him, it didn't matter right now. He just wanted her back, that was enough. She could hate him for eternity if she would just come back. He held her close to him and, for the second time in the history of his being, he cried for someone he loved.

CHAPTER 4: KISS OF COMPASSION! (Preview)
"Hiei, what is wrong with your arm?" Hiei rolls over and stares at it for two seconds and then looks back to her.
"Are you okay?"
"Me? You're the one pumping out blood all over the place!"
"I'm a demon, a yokai if you would, and wounds like these are nothing. I may have lost a lot of blood, but it will have healed." She just stared at him and he pulled her close and looked deep into her eyes. "I thought about what you asked me, and I think I can trust you." He lowered his mouth to hers and his heartbeat accelerated. It was time. He grabbed her shoulders and lowered his mouth to hers.... Review so you can see the rest!
