Charmed and Dangerous: Weird Friends
"What do you guys want for lunch?" Sapphire asked, as they walked to where the two sisters lived.
"How about ramen?" Yusuke asked.
"I love ramen! Let's go to our penthouse!" Crystal said smiling as she ran to a large building.
When everyone caught up with the red-haired girl, Kurama asked, "You live here?"
"Yes. I live here because I am the top trainer, and I need to be near my horses." Sapphire said.
Crystal pointed a finger at herself, grinning like mad. "And I live here because I get top grades! Together, we were offered the penthouse!"
"And what about your parents?" Kuwabara asked, stupidly.
Sapphire felt tears prick at her eyes, and she looked down. 'Even after all these years, it still hurts so much.' She thought. She couldn't hold it back anymore, and turned and ran. But, not before freezing her friends and sister. It would give her a head start, and she needed to be alone.
'Sapphire!' Hiei thought. He tried to break her power. After struggling for a minute, he broke the invisible bonds and ran after the black-haired girl at full speed.
~~~~
Sapphire ran as hard and as far as she could. She had no idea where she was going. She tripped and fell. Only then did she take in her surroundings. New tears formed as she looked around her.
She was in front of a large lake. Along the side were beautiful autumn trees. A cabin was on the other side of the lake, obviously abandoned. A dock went a little bit over the lake. She slowly stood and walked over to the edge of the dock, plopping down and sticking her feet in the water. This place was burned into her mind like no other place ever would be. She broke down, and started crying, silent sobs racking her small frame. After a minute, she felt raindrops start to fall on her. She shivered. Early autumn, at a horrible place, and she didn't even have a coat! She shivered again.
Then, something warm went around her shoulders. She stiffened.
The person wrapped their arms around her and pulled her into their lap.
"It's okay to cry, you know." Hiei said gently as he rested his chin on her head.
"Hiei?" Sapphire said, recognizing his voice and relaxing a bit.
"Shh." Hiei said. It broke his heart to see her like this. 'I think I may have fallen for her.' He thought.
~~~
When Sapphire's freeze wore off, Crystal stumbled a bit. They had been frozen for about ten minutes after Hiei took off after Sapphire.
"So, you all still up for lunch?" Crystal said, a fake smile on. She was slightly worried about her sister, but she knew Sapphire would be alright. She silently cursed Kuwabara and his stupidity.
"What about Sapphire?" Yusuke asked.
"I saw Hiei go after her. She'll be in good hands." Kurama said. 'He loves her, I can sense it.' He thought.
'And we love her sister.' Youko said.
'Shut up! I will proceed as I see fit!' Kurama growled at his other side.
"I'll make us some ramen." Crystal said.
They walked into Crystal's and Sapphire's penthouse. It was very large, with a dining room, a living room, and four bedrooms. In the living room there were two reclining chairs, two couches, and a rack full of DVDs and anime video games.
Kuwabara and Yusuke gasped in unison, their eyes as wide as saucer plates. They looked at each other grinning, then screamed,
"Video games!!!" at the same time. Both ran for the games and started playing.
"Heeeeeey! They didn't even ask me!" Crystal sniffled. It was very upsetting when people touched HER video games without asking!
"There, there." Kurama said, patting her back.
Crystal turned and hugged him. 'He smells like . . . roses.' She thought.
"Thanks *sniffle*." She said, smiling up at him.
It was quiet for a second, and then Crystal said "Hey! Wanna meet my friends?!" She smiled.
Kurama fell over anime style. Did this girl ever have violent mood swings! "Sure." He laughed.
"Here." She said, already at the door and tossing him an umbrella. "It's raining."
~~~
"It still hurts so much . . ." Sapphire said crying hard into Hiei's chest.
"I know it does. You've kept it in all these years, it's time that you let it out." Hiei said, pulling her closer to him. She was very light, and two inches shorter than him. She snuggled closer, and despite the fact that she was very warm now, she shivered.
She put up an energy shield to keep the rain off of them. Hiei felt her shudder, then fall into a deep sleep. 'She's so beautiful . . .' he thought, smiling down at her sleeping form.
'Should I tell her? What would I say, and when? Would I say, 'I love you'? I'm not even sure that that's what I'm feeling. I've never been in love before.' He thought for a second. 'I'll sort out my feelings first, then tell her later. She is in pain right now. My feelings can wait.' Hiei looked around and saw the cabin. He gently picked up Sapphire and carried her to it. He opened the door with his foot, and walked Sapphire over to a couch that was in the room. He set her down so as not to wake her, then draped his coat on her. She snuggled into it and said a little, "Mmmm." He smiled, and then sat in the chair next to the couch. He looked around the mostly bare room and saw a clock. "11:30 A.M." Hiei said. He looked back at Sapphire and heard her make a noise.
"Hi . . . ei . . ." She said, her eyes squeezed tight. She rolled a little in her sleep. "Don't . . . go . . .". Hiei got up and walked over to her side. She was drenched in cold sweat by now. Hiei picked up her hand and gave it a squeeze.
"I'm right here." He said, stroking her face with his other hand.
"I . . . L-NOOOOOOO!" Sapphire screamed, and everything in the room started flying around.
"HIEI!" She yelled, sitting straight up now. She looked around wildly and saw Hiei. He could sense her fear, and it showed clearly in her eyes. She threw her arms around him and he hugged her back.
"What was in your dream?" He asked, pulling away enough to see her fearful face.
"You . . . were walking away . . . and I ran after you, but the darkness surrounded me and closed in." Sapphire said, very tense.
"It was only a dream. I would never leave you. I . . ." He cut himself off. 'No . . . now is not the time.' He told himself firmly.
"You what?" Sapphire said, pulling away so she could sit upright on the couch.
"Nothing." Hiei said, sitting next to her. She shuddered and pulled his coat tighter around her.
"Are you still cold?" Hiei asked.
"Just a little." She replied, looking down at her soaked clothing.
"Why don't we get you home and get you into some dry clothes?" Hiei suggested. Sapphire nodded and stood. She took a few wavering steps forward and fell. Hiei was quicker however, and caught her.
"I'll carry you." He said, picking her up bridal style.
"I can walk." She said.
"Sure you can." He said teasingly.
"Hmph!" Sapphire said, sticking her nose up in the air.
Hiei took off towards Equistrian High.
~~~~~~
Crystal and Kurama ran through the rain towards a store. Crystal ran in and Kurama followed.
"There they are!" Crystal said, smiling and pointing to three girls.
Crystal walked to them and said "Hi, guys! I knew I'd find you all here. We can only stay a little while though. I'd like you to meet Kurama." Crystal said, gesturing to the red-haired kitsune. Then she gestured to each of the three girls and said to Kurama, "And this is Raven, Pyra, and Simara."
"Nice to meet you all." Kurama smiled.
The girl called Raven nodded, she was too busy playing with her switchblade to pay much attention. Pyra smiled, and then blushed a little. She muttered a little, "Hi." before flicking her lighter on and off for a second. Then the flame entranced her. The third girl, Simara, had long black hair, much like Sapphire's, but not as beautiful. She had on black mascara, eyeliner, and lipstick.
She was staring at Kurama with a dead look. Her eye twitched, and she started laughing.
"HAHAHAHA!!! I'm going to kill you Kurama!! HAHAHA!!" She laughed. But it wasn't a nice laugh. It was evil. And serious.
"Um . . . Crystal?" Kurama said, taking a small step towards the red head.
She smiled up at him and said, "Yes? I wouldn't worry. She's only actually killed two people." She laughed a little then said, "Well, let's go home. I'm sure Sapph and Hiei are back by now."
"Good idea!" Kurama said, grabbing Crystal's hands and pulling her out of the store. He wanted to get away from the crazy lady!
When they got home, they realized they were still holding hands. Crystal flushed, but Kurama didn't let go. They walked up to the door, and Kurama finally let her hand drop. Crystal pushed open the door.
Hiei was sitting on the couch, watching Yusuke kick Kuwabara's butt at video games.
"Hiei, is Sapph back?" Crystal asked. Her sister wasn't in the room.
"Hn. She's taking a shower." Hiei replied, not even looking at her. "Get ready." He said, a second later.
"Get ready for what?" Kurama said, confused.
"For dinner and a movie." Said a voice. They turned to look and saw Sapphire standing there in nothing but a robe with a towel on her hair. Crystal smiled.
"I'm glad you're feeling better, Sapph!" She smiled.
"You guys have one hour to get ready. Kurama, I'm done in my bathroom so you can use it if you want." Sapphire said, turning away and walking into her room.
Fifteen minutes later, Kurama came out and sat next to Hiei, who wasn't in his normal ensemble anymore. Hiei was wearing a loose black muscle shirt and black pants. Kurama, Kuwabara, and Yusuke were in their normal outfits.
Another fifteen minutes later, Sapphire came out of her room. Crystal got out of the shower, and walked to her room to get ready.
Sapphire walked into the living room and earned quite a few stares. She was wearing dark blue hip huggers, with a chain hooked to the belt. She also had on a royal blue spaghetti strap tank top that stopped just above her belly button. Her hair was pulled back into a neat bun, with a few strands coming down.
"What? Do I look that bad?" She said, when everyone kept staring.
"No. It looks fine, Sapph." Hiei answered.
"Are you sure, 'cause I-" She was cut off by Kurama.
"Just relax and sit down." He motioned to the empty seat between himself and Hiei.
Yet another fifteen minutes later, Crystal finally came out of her room. Her hair was in pigtails, and she was wearing a red tank top with a black rose in the center. She also had on dark blue pants.
"Oh yeah! Lookin' HOT!" Kuwabara yelled. Kurama let out a deep growl that only Kuwabara and Hiei could hear. Then he stood next to Crystal protectively. Sapphire got up, as did Hiei.
"Where do we go first, Sapphire?" Yusuke asked.
"First the movie, then to dinner, then home I guess." She replied walking towards the door.
They left for the theater.

That's why she likes it.
