CHAPTER 4: KISS OF COMPASSION! (Transformation 1)

"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. He had to have this kiss; he had to show her that he trusted her, that he was safe with her and that he... no, she couldn't know that he loved her. Not yet, no, he just needed to kiss her. She opened her mouth to let out a gasp and he slipped his tongue in.

'Unbelievable,' he thought. 'She's great at this, and she tastes human! Unbelievable... this is... great.' He let out a distressed moan and she pulled away. Her mind was spinning, and she felt as if she would blow a fuse if this kept up. Hiei let her take a breather, then went back in and started kissing her again.

'What is this I'm feeling?' she asked herself. 'I'm a machine... can I really have feelings like this? Am I aloud to have feelings like this? This is all different; none of it is in my programming... I...' Kima moaned this time, breathlessly. She pushed him away again, and this time he stayed away. He had scared himself too, not just her, with how fast he had moved. Two days, at the most, was how long he knew her, and he was already kissing her passionately. Not lustfully or forcibly, but passionately. He wasn't sure, but he thought he saw her quivering under him, from shock, probably.

"I... um... I'm sorry."

"For what?" Kima scolded herself after those words left her mouth, but she had already said it. She desperately wanted to change the subject, so she took a couple deep breaths, and then asked him how his arm felt.

"Like I'm thinking about my arm, Kima. C'mon now, you need to tell me if you want me to do that again or if you didn't like it." 'Oh,' he thought. 'She loved it. No one can moan like that and NOT like it, now can they?'

"Oh yes, do it again." Another scolding. He dropped his mouth onto hers and she ran her hands through his hair. It didn't occur to her until he put his head next to hers on the pillow how short he was, but she figured she wouldn't bring it up. It made him look kinda' cute. "How is your arm?" She asked again, a little more demanding this time. He sighed, then put his head on her shoulder. It was right then that she realized that he wasn't being a guy attracted to her features, but a lover, attracted to the fact that he needed her.

"It hurts, but I'll live. You scared me when that Roger guy made you scream." Kima's face scrunched up again and she thought: 'I screamed? I SCREAMED? Great!' "What did he do to you?"

"We were talking about you," she said defensively. Hiei laughed a little, and then passed out. Kima glared at him. (Though it was hard to stay mad at him watching him snooze like a little kid.)

'He lied to me about the arm thing. He doesn't me to worry about him, because he is worried about me.' She held him and spoke to him gently, as if she were speaking to a child or a loved one.

"Your mother will haunt your dreams no more, I'm sorry I couldn't help sooner I-'' She searched her backup drive and replayed the moment he 'rescued' her. "How the hell did you... what are you?"

Hiei awoke a few hours later to a massive headache, a throbbing arm, and a lack of women next to him. He sat up quickly and looked around his room. He saw her silhouette on the balcony and walked to her. His head was throbbing and he got suddenly dizzy, lost his balance and hit the doorframe for support. Kima turned with a jolt. He looked at her and noticed a pain in her eyes. A pain that was in his too. He knew he couldn't be with her, he knew it. She would only break his heart; he had to tell her how things were. He had to, even if it meant lying to her.

"Kima-''

"I know what you are going to say, I could tell by the way you were holding onto me, you were acting like it would never happen again." He sneered at her, and she melted. God, he had a sexy sneer.

"We need to talk." He offered her a hand and she gladly took it, and they walk inside and began to discuss the boundaries of their friendship.

"So that kiss, it was just 'cause you were lonely?" He nodded, and she was disappointed. But why? He was a goddamn human... wait, what was he? She didn't know. All she knew was that if Hiei kept talking to her, she was going to lose her mind. She threw herself into his arms and shook. Her entire body shook. Hiei lifted her head from his shoulder and stared into her eyes.

"O my God, Kima, your-'' She threw her head back into his chest and he held her.

Panda-chan: So sorry that this one is so short, but it is sad too.

Kima-chan: I'll say! What's wrong with me? What am I doing?

Hiei-san: Yeah, I don't even know!

Kima-san: And when do I get to kill Kimiko?

Panda: You don't, so sit down and shut up.

Hiei-san: Yeah. Sit down and shut up.

Panda: Just like you don't get to kill Susdime, Hiei-san.

Hiei-san: *jaw drops* WHAT?!

Kima-chan: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! By the way, what is Hiei anyway?

Panda: You find out in the next chapter, Kima's Revenge.

Kima-chan: Do I get to kill Kimiko?

Panda: no.

Kima-chan: DAMN!!!!!!

Hiei-san: Please let us kill? Please?

Kima-chan: We promise to be good!

Panda: um...-_-' killing is not being good...

Hiei-san: beside that, let us kill!

Panda: um.... no . HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hiei-san: She's more evil than me, and I'm a -

Panda: Don't tell her! Don't tell her! Or you'll never get to use your sword again! I'll write it, I can!

Kima-chan: What? What are you?

Hiei-san: I never ruin a valuable plot line... or get separated from my sword.

Kima-chan: @_@ you guys suck....

Panda: Good boy, Hiei-san, here, have a biscuit.

Hiei-san: Yeah, a biscuit. Now I can rule the world. *eats biscuit* not bad. *gulp* Better than the crap she makes.

Kima-chan: Are you saying dog food is better than my cooking?

Panda: Bye, everyone! See you in chapter five!

Kima-chan: Yeah, and if your lucky, this space will be occupied by a biography of me!

Hiei-san: no, if they're lucky, their parents will make them get off the computer before they have to read about your sorry ass.

Kima-chan: So now I'm sorry and my food is worse than dog food?

Panda: Both of you shut up so they can leave, or I'll write you a lemon.

BOTH: NO, WE'LL BE GOOD, WE PROMISE!!!!!!!!!!

Panda: SIT DOWN, RIGHT NOW!

Both: *sit*

Panda: bye everyone!
