Hiei was still happy about what he had done last night for Mira.
He had realized that what happened last night was the second place in his vision dream.
But he paid no attention to it.
He sat on his bed purely thinking about her.
When she was happy,
He was happy.
He loved it.
He loved the way she smiled.
He loved the way she sang!
He loved h-
. . .
Hiei shook his head.
'Was I just about to say what I think I was?'
'Yep! You were going to sa-'
'DON'T! I don't want that thought running through my head again!'
'Why are you denying the truth? You love Mira and you know it!'
'How do you figure?'
'You can't take your eyes off her, you blush like crazy every time you see her or get close to her, and you keep doing nice things for her!'
'That doesn't mean I love her . . .'
'. . . you're kidding me right? That all leads to love!'
'But it isn't!'
Hiei sighed.
'Would you consider her your friend?'
'Well, maybe more.'
'AH HA! You'd consider her *more*!'
'Well, like a best friend? Yeah! Of course.'
'DAMN YOU! That's not what I mean!'
'I know what you mean. And I'm trying ridiculously hard to ignore it.'
'You just can't accept it, can you?'
'What?'
'Quote: ~No one loves me and I love no one.~ You said that bucko!'
'Your point?'
'If you don't love Mira, how do you know she doesn't love you?'
'. . .'
'. . . well?'
'I . . . don't. I don't know.'
'Couldn't hurt to find out, now could it?'
'How do I do that?'
'Well, first, before we do anything, you have to make sure that if she loves you, you'll love her back.'
'Why?'
'You don't want to break her heart, do you?'
'I don't want to hurt her in anyway but I'm not going to do anything!'
'Why?'
'Because!'
'. . . because you're afraid to admit you love her!'
'. . .'
'It's no use hiding it anymore.'
'. . .'
'C'mon.'
'ALRIGHT!!! ALRIGHT!!! I ADMIT IT!!! I LOVE MIRA!!! I'm in love with a miko! A beautiful, smart miko! I love her, I need her, I can't live without her! HAPPY?!'
'Very.'
Hiei breathed in deep at what he had just admit to himself.
He loved Mira . . .
He loved her. And he was too blind to see it before. . .
'So. Now what?'
'Now what?! You have to confess! That's what!'
'WHAT THE FUCK?!?!! NO WAY!!!'
'How is she going to know if you don't tell her? Hmm?'
Hiei sighed.
'What do you propose I do?'
'I dunno!'
'ARGH! Look. I'm going for a walk.'
* * *
Mira sat in her room brushing her hair slowly.
'What Hiei did was so sweet.'
'Wasn't it though?'
'I really do lo-'
She cut herself of in thought.
'What was that?!'
'Nothing!'
'You were going to say you love him, weren't you?!'
'NO!'
'YES!'
'. . .'
'. . .'
'FINE!!! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!! I LOVE HIS GUTS!!! I LOVE THE WAY HE TALKS, ACTS, SPEAKS! I LOVE THE WAY HIS HAND HOLDS MINE! OR THE WAY I FEEL SAFE IN HIS ARMS!! I LOVE HIEI!! HAPPY?!'
'Very. But did you have to use the word 'guts' in a love confession?'
'YES! YES I DID!'
Mira breathed deep. Making sure what she had said took time to sink in.
She tilted her head up to look at the sky.
. . .
It was purple!
'The sky is purple!'
'Yeah? So?'
'A purple sky means that there is good fortune to come in the world of love for anyone who looks at it! I'M LOOKING AT IT!!'
'Hm . . . sounds cheesy.'
'IT IS!!! But isn't it great?!'
'I guess so . . .'
* * *
Hiei walked through the forest he had gone through a few times now.
He looked up at the sky as he took a break.
It was purple.
'That's an odd color.'
'Yeah it is.'
Still looking at the sky, Hiei continued walking without noticing a bush right in front of him.
He ran into it.
He ran into the bush and flipped himself over into what seemed to be a clearing on top of a hill.
'Ow.'
He looked at his hand that was locked to his head to see if there was any blood.
Nothing.
'I'm a regular lucky bastard, aren't I?'
He chuckled and then looked up into the center of the clearing.
He gasped and realized what he was seeing.
'I have to get Mira!' he thought as he rushed back through the forest and to her house, leaving the peaceful clearing in silence once more.
