Chapter 16:

Disclimer: I OWN ALL, MUAH HA HA. Nah, sry...

A/N: Lmao....well...I got like, five or six e-mails over the fact that Kurama was shot. Mostly hate mails, like 'YOU BITCH, KURAMA CAN'T DIE!!!' DON'T YOU GET IT?!!!' But don't worry. I wouldn't EVER kill Kurama! *heart* He'll be back, dun worry. ^^

"So...did you find her....?"

I sat wrapping ace bandages around my arm , courtesy of Hiei, even if it wasn't at his own will. Blood was already seeping through, but it wasn't like I cared.

He shook his head no. Wasn't much for any kind of speech, was he?

"She'll turn up..." Kiaru squeezes a pillow in my room, which she had named 'Jack'. Kiaru had this thing with a spirit named Jack... He was her 'lover' and he traveled from object to object. Usually he was a sea shell.

It seems that Heidi had been lost on the battle field... I can't help but kind of laugh when I think about it...

"The girl up and ran..."

"Because....she was afraid, or were you doing your black dragon shit...?" Kiaru looks at him.

"Fists of the mortal flame to you. It's less powerful, so I didn't think I needed to warn her." He scoffs. "Stupid ningens and their assumptions. That attack is of the mortals..."

"Hiei..." I sigh, slightly mad at Hiei for just up and using that with out telling her. "We didn't tell Heidi about Yuske, Kurama, and you being demons. She doesn't even know about demons being REAL..."

He shrugs. "Hn. She knows now."

I glare at him and exhale sharply. "She doesn't even know that Kiaru and I are slightly spiritually aware... Rekai, Ningenkai, and Makai...nothing..."

Woops.

I wasn't supposed to tell ANYONE that I felt energy. Even the guys. I was just supposed to pass off as a normal person, so that I could see aura's and sense things un natural, and warn them if they didn't think it was a threat. Hiei usually ignored potentially dangerous things, so Kurama, Kiaru, and I had to let him know just how serious things were most of the time.

I cringed at the thought of Kurama... He still was out last tie we checked on him. It had even been a few days...

"Don't think about him." Hiei says quickly.

"If you two are spiritually aware, then if you try you will be able to concentrate on his alone. Try not to think about it..."

I try to understand what Hiei is saying. Maybe I would know his pain if I felt his energy...

"IHAVESOMEHTHINGTOADMIT." Kiaru suddenly blurts out, looking rustled.

We both look at her...

"I was walking down the street today, and I saw a person in front of me, and I really liked their pants. Well, see, they were really cool with safety pins and zippers and chains, but that's beyond the point. And I wanted to say I liked them. Also, where they got them. So I said, 'Hey! Guy in front of me!' And when they turned around, they turned out to be SO fine... But then I realized it was a girl...Aw, god..." She puts her head in her hands.

I feel an Anime sweat drop coming on. "And THAT was something you had to admit to...?"

I look at Hiei, worriedly. "I think the fact that we haven't left this stinking hotel for two days, is REALLY starting to get to our heads."

So, we were all now sitting in the hot tub. Just sitting there. Kiaru sulking in self pity. Me feeling incredibly uncomfortable. Hiei glowering. Like usual.

"Stop staring at me woman." Hiei barks, staring icily at me. Ah, the joys of friendship. 'Tis great company.

"Fox is waking up."
