It began with a fortune cookie

Chapter 4: Singing heart and soul

"Where's Jasmine and Angel?" Frank, Angel's uncle and Jasmine's father asked.

When they heard the loud music the location of the two was given away. Hiei swiftly went to the open door to see the cousins talking dirty things and trying out dance steps.

"Now I think we can try it out from the start. You ready Angel? I'm going to make a real fool out of you." Jasmine said smugly.

"No one's in here so I'll try hard NOT to make a fool out of myself." Angel said.

"Wait I want to hear this song first." Jasmine said.

"I love this one." Angel said, as she was about to sing along with it.

I tried to kill the pain
But only brought more
(So much more)
I lay dying

And I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
I'm dying, praying, bleeding, and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?

My god my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My god my tourniquet
Return to me salvation

Do you remember me?
Lost for so long
Will you be on the other side?
Or will you forget me

I'm dying praying, bleeding, and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?

My god my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My god my tourniquet
Return to me salvation

(Return to me salvation)

I WANT TO DIE!!

My god my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My god my tourniquet
Return to me salvation

My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will I be denied?
Christ?
Tourniquet?
My suicide?

"Morbid girl geesh." Jasmine said.

"Hey trying to commit suicide 3 times helps you know. Being stabbed in the back by so many people makes you tend to want to die." Angel said with a smile.

"I like this song too." Jasmine said.

Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me into madness

I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away
If I will it all away

Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
((God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the lights
(Never sleep never die)

I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow know that there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears

I can stop the pain if I will it all away
If I will it all away

Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
((God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the lights
(Never sleep never die)

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin?
Forsaking all I've fallen for I rise to meet the end

Ooh

Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the lights
(Never sleep never die)

Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the lights
(Never sleep never die)

Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the lights
(Never sleep never die)

"I wonder how your parents let you listen to this kind of music. It has that message in it that says die." Jasmine said.

"I like this kind of music. It drowns out the agony." Angel said with a smile.

"Are you two done?" Hiei asked startling the two girls.

"Good thing I didn't play that song next." Angel muttered to Jasmine.

"We're finished. And as usual the songbird of the family did a good job." Jasmine said patting Angel on the back.

"Jasmine." Angel said embarrassed.

"Say no more. I'm leaving! Bye!" Jasmine said and closed the door behind.

"I knew I should have closed that damn door." Angel said.

"That wasn't so bad for a human." Hiei said.

"Gee thanks Mr. Enthusiastic." Angel said sarcastically.

"It's nearly midnight I think we need to get to sleep." He said.

"Right. Well let me go get the blow up mattress." Angel said and left the room.

Hiei knew it was going to take a while and looked around the room. He found a piece of paper that seemed interesting.

'People say that life is full of mystery. Pfff right and I'm the happy fucken Easter bunny. Anyway all I have to say for wisdom is that life blows. Because the people around you will stab you in the back to where you have an emotional and mental breakdown blow your parents money on counseling and drugs to where you're delusion to think that the world is fine. Well whoever finds this and reads this all this human being has to say is this.. . The only thing to look forward to is death. Because all your life people are just going to hate you. Harsh? I know it is. I learned that when I was 11 ok. And now 5 years later on my 16th year of living in this hell I have things to say. If you see someone you hate in your class or something. Don't hesitate to say 'fuck you asshole' because being mean and rotten to them will make them finally understand how you feel. Now that you have found this letter write at least 5 copies of this and give it to people who are important to you. Spread the love as they say.'

Hiei couldn't help but smirk in amusement at this. He put it back under the mattress of her bed before she came back into the room with a large blow up air mattress.

"Here we go. Man it took so long to pump this damn thing up." Angel said with a smile.

She put clean sheets on it and gave Hiei 2 pillows and a blanket.

I'm going to go change so you can change in here." Angel said grabbing her pjs and running out of the room closing the door behind her.

"Good thing we went shopping or I'd have nothing TO change in." Hiei said to himself.

Moments later he heard a gentle knock and opened the door to see Angel there in a long shirt and short shorts.

"Well I got some extra school supplies and all that so don't worry about things like that. They'll be issuing lockers tomorrow so don't' worry about a bookbag and lugging your books around." Angel said while stretching over Hiei to pull on the light switch on her ceiling fan.

Hiei saw something that VERY much affected him. A small draft 'convienately' moved the long shirt out a bit. He only saw a little bit when Angel turned the light off. He felt heat on his cheeks and wondered why. He heard the bed next to him creek and they heard blankets move.

"Good night Hiei." Angel said facing the wall and cuddling to her fluffy pillow.

"Night." He said before falling asleep.

Author's Notes: Ohhh bad Hiei!!! Naughty boy!!! Looking up a young girl's shirt. Well stay tuned for Chapter 5.
