For The Life of Me
Hello, Darkess here. This is my story... I will be exercising my japanese
so there will be words in japanese and maybe even phrases. I will have a
translation at the bottom. It is mostly the day to day lives of the
characters. but this will have what they think as they do the things they
always do. Later after a routine is extablished or something like that i
will add a few little events and a bunch of big ones.It is probably going
to be long. And my name is Darkess Not Darkness, As some people seem think.
I welcome critisisim adn light flamers. but i may act rudly. you are
warned flamers. Also tell me if my characters are too out of character...
I'm trying to follow the characters. But rememer this is their minds
partially. Ok enought of my banter, on to the story!!
Chapter one: Rainy day HIEI'S POV
I sighed looking out the window at the rain. I had planned on training but Kurama, not wanting see me catch the flu and give it to him, wouldn't let me go... So here I sit. In Kurama's room on the window ledge, bored out of my mind. I look at Kurama, trying to find something to do. He is doing his work from school.
"Kurama is there anything to do around here?" I asked... Giving into boredom. He looked over at me and smiled.
"Yes Hiei." he reached into a drawer of his desk" Here. " He tossed me a Rubix Cube. Which I caught. "Try this. Last time you couldn't get it. You can keep it but please don't get frustrated and break it..." It was already mixed up. Looking at the thing i desided the mixing was rendom and i will have to just work with it. I twisted it around for a few minutes and then pocketed it. Annoyed.
"Kurama" he looked around "I'm going to take a bath." He nodded
"Ok Hiei... You know where it is." He said, smiling as always
I walked out of the bed room and went down the hall.
I went into the furoba. Closing the door I proceded to take off my clothing. Placing them into the sink and turning the water on hot...I put the plug in the drain and let the water fill the sink. I turned off the water and let them soak. I turned the water to the tub on and let it run hot before plugging the tub and letting it fill. Maybe I can relax some. The water started filling slowly. I went to the sink and started to rub my shirt with another part of it to scrub off some dirt. The tub was three- fourths full so I turned the water off and slowly got in. The water was nice and hot. I closed my eyes and realized I still had my bandana on. Reaching up I took it off and dropped it over the side of the tub. I closed my natural eyes as my Jagon opened. The room was now in red and the water looked like blood. Thought wasn't as thick. I heard a knock at the door.
I sighed. "Nani wa desu ka?" (What it is?) I asked irritably.
"Hiei, I just wanted to ask if I should wash your clothing."
"They are already soaking."
"Where?"
"In the sink"
"Hiei" he said, sounding humored. "I will get them after you come out." I heard his foot steps retreating. I started to think i had gotten rid of him but I'm not that lucky. I heard him coming back.
"Hiei?"
"Nani" I sighed.
"Got my robe for you to wear, It'll be a little big but I hope you can make do" The door opened a crack and i saw his hand with a white robe attached come in a move over to the door knob, hanging it there and then retreating. The door closed again. "My mother should be home shortly so I'm going to go make dinner. You're Welcome to join us if you want." he stated walking away. Finally real peace. I leaned back and closed my eyes relaxing in the warmth of the water.
~~~~beginning of dream~~~~
I'm strapped to a table, this place seems familiar, and a man in a coat comes in. My arms are strapped down straight from my body.
The man says "Ok we will begin now. I have to strap down your arms so the pain doesn't make you gouge out your own eyes. I have earplugs for myself so i can't hear you screaming. (Ok i don't know the exact quote but you get the point)" I looked up at the machinery above my head.
"I won't make a sound." Suddenly one of the things starts spinning and coming closer. I close my eyes and feel the skin break on my forehead. The blades of the spinning thing stop. It's not all that painful. It goes back up and then the man stands. "Not in pain yet... well that's not the worst of it." He grabbed a knife "see that last thing only gave me a shape to follow". I heard a crunching sound as the man started to cut into my skull with the knife... It didn't hurt. ( bone has no nerves that feel pain. if you break an arm the pain is torn stuff like muscle or fat...) he put little chunks of bone on the table beside him that I could see. It was about a centimeter think. It was probably the entire thinness of my skull. Blood started to run down into my eyes so I closed them.
~~~~end of dream~~~~
"Hiei.... Hiei.... wake up." I was being shaken. I opened my eyes... The water was cold. I looked up and my eyes focused on what had been a peach and red blur... It was Kurama. "Hiei you fell asleep..." he smiled."Dinner is ready." he left the room.
I pulled the plug. The water started to drain and I stood up... Stepping out I stretched. I looked to see my clothing was gone and the robe was all I had to wear... I grabbed it quickly and put it on... tying it up. It was way long.
I walked out of the furoba and heard Kurama call. "Come and eat Hiei!" I started down the stairs. Half way down I tripped on the robe and fell down the rest of the stair case. Kurama came running and had to laugh at me... I was sprawled out with the robe flying in every direction. Luckily it didn't go up too far and expose my rear. I stood up and sweared. Kurama's mother Shiori came in and ran over...
"Oh you fell are you alright? Kurama come and help me..." Kurama came over. "Will you get me some safety pins...? This is way too long..." He ran up the stairs...soon he was back down... I didn't know what to do so I just stood there... he handed her a box and suddenly she reached and grabbed the hem of the robe. She started to lift it and I moved away successfully removing it from her reach... "Kurama hold your friend. I don't want him falling again..." Kurama was behind me and had a firm hold of my shoulders... I started to kick at him and his mom... he took my legs and pinned mine with his... (Ok this is not a yoai thing... he has one leg pinning Hiei's against his other... If you don't get it then review... I want all to know Kurama and Hiei are NOT NOT NOT A HUNDRED TIME NOT GAY! ok to the story) Shiori Grabbed the hem once again and took a metal thing from the box. She pulled the hem up a little and pinned it there. She repeated this four times. She stood up and Kurama let me go... I looked down. The robe was now ankle length.
They went to the dainingu. I followed. When we got there i smelled food, and was instantly hungry but didn't say anything.
"Please sit down Hiei" said Shiori
"hn" I said sitting down. She went around serving everyone generous portions. there was carrot sticks in a dressing of sorts, with Fried rice and beef. She then ran into the daidokoro and came out with cups. Kurama offered to help but she said she could get it. She placed the cups down and poured some brown liquid from a thermos. Setting it with the rest of the food in the center of the table. She then told us we could eat. I picked up my chopsticks and prodded my food. It looked like Kuwabara's lumpy face. "Kurama I can't eat this." I whisperd
"Why?"
"It reminds me of Kuwabara. And Kuwabara disgusts me."
He laughed and said "Move it around and it will look different."
I kept prodding it until was just food once again. (ok that wasn't funny but i jsu tdrank 3 cups of hot chocolate... i love hot chocolate) I took a small bite. Then another and another, till I just ate. i picked up my cup and looked at the steaming drink inside.
"Kurama what is this?" I asked Pointing at it.
He smiled warmly and said "Hot chocolate. Try it. You'll like it." He took a drink. I watched and then took a drink. He smiled as I took another...
Half an hour later
We were sitting in the living room, watching tv. I wasn't paying attention... Kurama was on one side of me and his mother on the other. Kurama looked at me and asked "so what did you dream about?"
"Hn. Why do you want to know. "
"Just wondering. Come on tell me." He looked at me.
"It wasn't a dream . Not really"
"Then what was it."
"a memory"
"Ohhhhh of what?" that chocolate must have made him a little hyper.
"When I got..." I tapped my forehead above my Jagon.
"Oh." he got quiet... "tell me about it one time... i wanna hear..."
"Only if I'm drunk."
"That may happen"
I yawned a little.
"oh" said Shiori "are you tired? You can have the guest room for tonight." Kurama looked at her. "Kurama show him the room"
Kurama stood up. "I know where it is" I stood up and walked out of the room. I am really tired. I went in and laid down. falling asleep almost instantly.
