Chapter 5: Kima's Revenge

Hiei had spent the entire night on the balcony and hadn't slept at all. So many things were running through his head, how could he expect to sleep? kissing the android was enough; but why did she have the ability to cry? Wasn't that something only humans could do? It was weird, but he knew what he had seen. He pulled her away from his chest and saw her crying. Water was coming down her face, was that possible? He shook his head and let the soft breeze flow around him and ruffle his hair. The hardest part was that he was in love with her, and would alwaays love her, even if she was a robot. He looked back into the room and saw her lying on the bed. he felt the sudden urge to lay with her, and he unconsciously gave in.

Kima lay awake and scared. She had never reacted like that before; she knew for a fact that it wasn't in her programming to react like that. She felt funny, and wanted that young boy to lay down with her. She wanted nothing more than to be with him. What scared her the most was the water that came from her face. How had it gotten there? She knew that it hadn't been there before because she would have cried when she heard about Roger and Kimiko. She lay wondering what was going on, and why it hurt so much when he had told her that he didn't love her, and that their relationship would be based on lust and maybe sex if she wanted it, but never love. And what was her response? A pained, 'not problem, I feel that way too.' She was a robot! A damned machine! Why was she feeling at all? She closed her eyes and held her breath, but let it out in a big whoosh when she felt Hiei lay down next to her. 'He must think I'm asleep,' she thought. Her gut fluttered, despite her threats to remove her thought circuits, and she shifted to get more comfortable. He lifted her into his arms-she almost laughed because of how much shorter he was-and held her close. "I wish I could hold you like this when you were awake, but you wouldn't understand. There are things that even you won't be able to grasp." She frowned. There were already things that she didn't understand; she shuddered when she thought of more uncertanties. "Cold?" Hiei asked, slightly amused. He pulled the blankets up around the two of them, and then began to talk to her. "I'm going to St. Chris tomorrow, you can stay here. It would be easier, and you can learn more things about the world. When I get back, I hope that you will feel that you can stop pretending to not be smart, and show me who you really are." She went to sleep after that. She didn't want to hear anymore.

Kima awoke to an empty bed and a note on the dresser. It read:

Dear Kima,

I have decided to go back home to St. Chris for awhile-I know that you will be okay by yourself. I hope that things will turn out okay between you and Roger, and I will see to it that you are doing okay. I will return in three weeks, so please keep the apartment intact until then.

H. Jaganshi Kima sighed. 'Well, now I hhave three whole weeks to figure out what's wrong with me, and to get that bitch Kimiko back for stealing Roger from me.' She thought about getting Roger back, but the thought wasn't as satisfying as it should have been. 'It's because I'm in love with Hiei,' she thought. Then she threw her hands to her head and screamed: 'No! I don't love him! I am only programmed to love Roger, noone else, it is impossible!' Satisfied with that, she dropped her hands to her side and walked out of the room and toward Roger's mansion.

"Roger, what is going on?" Kimiko walk into Rogers room a little before nine, demanding explanations. However, he had none. How did she disappear like that, and why was there blood on his hands? Kimiko sat next to him on the bed and put her head on his chest. "Are you alright, honey?" He brought on arm up to rap around her, then stopped when they heard the screams. She was already there; Kima had come back to find revenge, and Kimiko had come back! Roger threw himself over Kimiko as the doors burst open and Kima walked in, eyes glowing and anger spreading across her face. "K.I.M.A., what do you want?" "I want you back," she said in a hollow, hate-filled voice. "And I want that bitch to die." Kimiko cowered underneath Roger, and he pleaded with the evil robot that now approached them. She ggrabbed Roger by the throat and lifted him out of the bed. Her face nnarrowed as he breathlessy begged her not to hurt his love. She threw him effortlessly across the room and turned toward Kimiko. "How perfect, I caught the little slut in bed." She raised her hand to Kimiko's face and slapped her hard, knocking her to the floor. She struggled to get up, but Kima was around the bed and closing fast onto her. Her hands grabbed her, and her fingers tightened around her neck. "I want you to die slowly, so that I can hear you cry." Kimiko gaasped and choked, calling Roger's name. A small smile began to spread across Kima's face as Kimiko started to go limp, but her grip loosened when she heard a voice call her name. "Kima, STOP!" Hiei had missed his flight at the airport and returned to find an empty apartment. He had figured she was just out doing whatever when he heard screams. He figured he wouuld check it out and found himself at Rogers Mansion. Kima found herself unable to go against Hiei's wishes and dropped Kimiko at her feet, gasping for air. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" She just turned and stared at him as he ran to Kimiko's side. "Hiei, I-'' He grabbed Kimiko and held her limp body in his arms. "Are you okay? Oh, God, don't be dead." Kima watched as Kimiko slowly stole Hiei from her as well. She was so absorbed in what she saw, she hardly felt Roger as he put the gun to her head and cocked the barrel. "STOP! Don't do it! She didn't kill Kimiko!" Roger stared as his love cowered in the arms of another, and threw Kima at him. Kima hit him, hard and lifeless, and he lay Kimiko down. She clung to his neck, but Kima had left her in such a weak state that it was easy for him to shake her off. He looked at Roger, who now pointed the gun at him. "You-you're that thing that stopped me from killing her last time! I should have had her out of commission, but you had to go and stop me! You," He pointed the gun at him and cocked the barrel again. "You deserve to die!" He screamed and pulled the trigger-and shot Kimiko. Hiei had used his speed to get to the other side of the room and dodge the bullet. Now he stood by a large window and, waiting to jump out, winced as he heard the bullet enter Kimiko's head. Why she had to get up, he didn't know, but she was dead now, and Roger was most likely going to jail. Kima had her revenge, and he hoped it was satisfying enough. He took on final look into the room, then left Roger to cry over his lost love. Hiei shifted Kima comfortably in his arms and left the screams and cries behind him.

Hiei's tongue ran over his wrist slowly as he lapped up all the blood that had been freed when he jumped through the window. He stared at himself in the mirror, stripped down to his boxers, and caught himself wondering what Roger had that he didn't. After a thourough scolding about trying to save Kimiko and not helping Kima kill everyonne in the building,(and after another what-the-hell-is-happening-to-you speech,) he clumsily saw to the wounds on his back. After about a half hour, he gave up and stared at Kima. She hadn't been moving for quite some time now, and Hiei figured Roger shhocked her again. He thought about the smile that she had been wearing when he stopped her. She seemed so much more evil than the cute, bubbly android in the alley. When she finally shifted, he quickly sped over to her and watched her carefully. When she was fine, he gathered her up into his arms and held her. He had almost lost her, that was what hurt so bad. He had almost lost her and it would have been his fault. "What happened to St. Chris?" "Stop acting so damn clueless, I know how smart you really are." "Great, you know what I am, now tell me what you are." "I'm a human." "You're a very fast human." "I'm more of a demon." "hee-hee. You're a speed demon." "Fire." "Ooh, exotic." She buried her face into the small spot between his neck and his shoulder and laughed into it. "Mmm, you smell nice." Hiei pulled her away and stared into her eyes. She wasn't all there, hher memory circuits were still rebooting. "Kiss me, Q-T!" She put her face next to his and blew on his face a little. "Kiss me for a long time." Hiei, tempted as he was, pushed her away and tucked her into bed. "Yopu have to, um. you have to go to bed now." She cocked an eyebrow, but smiled. "Okies! But you have to sleep with me, 'cause I'm scared." "Of what?" She rolled over. "Of losing you. Of being rejected the way Roger rejected me. I'm afraid of having to stop loving you." He winced and she looked at him. He found himself lost in those big, beautiful green eyes that seemed to change colors according to her emotions. He couldn't abandon her, not when she was asking so nicely for him to stay with her.He curled up next to her and she snuggled closely, rotating her head so that their lips were forced to touch. Hiei pulled away and out of the bed. "No, I can't stay with you, it might make you think that, no, it's not going to happen." He walked out of the room and intended on spending the remainder of his night on the couch. Kima's memory finally installed itself and she followed him. "Hiei?" "Go away!" He snapped at her, but she didn't retreat. She brought her hands softly to his shoulders and kissed one of his stray wounds that he couldn't fix up. The hairs on the back of his neck pricked up and his back straightened. Then, in a sudden urge to taste blood, she ran her tongue along the same cut. Hiei put a stop to that soon, but not before she had tasted the difference between them. "What-what is that?" She asked. "Blood," he quietly responded. "It's what I'm made of, and you are not." He looked as a small drop fell from the corner of her mouth and he caught it with his. He then proceeded to kiss her. "It is why we cannot be together." He tried to pull away, but she fixed her eyes into his and begged him not to stop. "For once, pretend I am human." She leaned in to kiss him, but he pushed her away again. "No, I don't feel like letting you hurt me. I told you, I don't love you, I just think you're-'' 'Drop dead gorgeous,' he thought. But his thoughts stayed in his head, because Kima's mouth was crushing down on his, and for the last time in three months, he would kiss her freely. As he slipped his tongue in her mouth, he mumbled a breathless good bye, and gave completely to the kiss.
