Chapter 8.
Kimura rolled over and hit something hard. She moaned and opened her eyes. A silhouette of some one lay next to her sprawled out across the floor on their back, sleeping as well. the moonlight shown through the window and lit the dark room. Kimura could see that she fell asleep next to Hiei who used to be against the couch. He must have fallen over during the night. Kimura chuckled slightly to see Hiei sleeping with his mouth opened, clutching pizza crust in his outstretched hand. He looked so innocent when he slept, almost like a little boy who knew nothing of death or fear.
Kimura got up, and walked over to the clock. It was 1 in the morning. Her mother was obviously not home. If she was, she would have woken Kimura up. She was grateful for this because her mother would have panicked if she saw Kimura sleeping with a guy who could pass to be a boy when he was asleep.
A note on the table next to the clock caught Kimura's attention. She picked it up and walked over to the bay window for the moonlight.
Dear Kimura,
Me, Kurama, and Yusuke left while you fell asleep. Don't worry. Kurama and I cleaned all the mess.and the bathroom for you. Thanks for the pizza oh yeah! We didn't want to wake you because you looked comfortable snuggling next to Hiei and using his arm as a pillow!
Kimura felt her cheeks turn slightly warm. She looked at Hiei who was still sleeping on the floor. . she turned to look out the window. She stared at the moon for a few minutes in silence. But it was soon broken.
"Stop it." Kimura herd Hiei say. Kimura turned her head to face him. "What?"
"STOP IT!" Hiei's voice came again. His eyes were still closed. He was.dreaming.
"GET YOUR FILTHY NINGEN HANDS OFF HER!" Hiei yelled loudly. Kimura was now slightly frightened. She could tell his body tense, he made his hands into fists, crushing the pizza crust. And his headband.
What the.." Kimura whispered. Something was glowing underneath his headband. Kimura slid off the windowsill and cautiously walked over to Hiei who was now starting to shake and breath louder. Kimura knelt down next to him. His eyes were rapidly moving back and forth. Who was he talking about. Something underneath his headband glowed once more. Kimura slowly reached for it.
Hiei's eyes shot opened, his eyes glowing even a brighter red that reflected off the moon light. He grabbed Kimura's arm tightly and flipped her over hard on her back, causing her head to hit the wooden floor with a loud thud. Hiei was now on top of her, holding his fist, ready to punch her. Kimura's whimper made Hiei realize everything was a dream.
Hiei went wide eyed. He put his fist down and crawled off Kimura who had silent tears running down her face. "uh." for once Hiei was speechless. He helped Kimura up slowly. She rubbed her head and withdrew her hand. It wasn't bleeding, but it hurt really badly.
"I.uh.fast reflexes." Hiei said really ashamed. He knew he had frightened her, and even hurt her. He secretly felt horrible.
"Its alright Hiei." Kimura said rubbing her eyes. "The others deserted us, and my mother still isn't home yet." Kimura said turning on the lights. "I think you should go before your parents get worried Hiei" Kimura said. Hiei just stared at her. "I will stay here until your mother gets home." Hiei replied He still wasn't sure if the Yoshihiro incident involved her or not. Better to be safe then sorry.
"Alright." Kimura said giving Hiei a questioning look. "You should get some sleep." Hiei said looking at her. "are you kidding? Once I'm up, I'm up." She said laughing. she went over to the couch and sat down turning on the tv.
"You know Hiei, you don't have to sit on the window sill constantly. You can come and sit on the couch too." Kimura said flipping through the channels. "Hn. I have no need to sit on a couch." Hiei replied. "Oh and you have a reason to stare blankly out into space?" Kimura asked sarcastically.
Hiei fell silent. Most of the time he sat near the window to see if he could spot his sister with his jagon. Hiei walked over toward the stairs. "Hey where are you going?" Kimura asked sitting up on the couch. "I left something upstairs." Hiei called out from behind him as he walked up the stairs. A minute later ha came back down, holding a sheath with his katana inside of it. Kimura watched as Hiei walked back over to the window sill. A sound of metal against metal was heard as Hiei took his katana out of its sheath slowly.
Kimura turned back around. Hiei was playing with the tip of his sword, every so often taking the end of his cloak to shine it. "You want to play with it?" Hiei asked sarcastically, noticing how she was looking at it, his gaze still on the tip of his sword. Kimura got up out of her seat and walked over to Hiei. Kimura held out her right hand. Hiei raised hi right eyebrow, then slowly handed it to her. She took it from him and immediately fell over backward, the sword clattering to the ground.
"Hn. Hiei closed his eyes, smiling as he shook his head.
"How do you hold that thing?" Kimura asked getting to her feet. Hiei slid off the sill and walked over picking up his katana with one hand, holding it out to his side.
"You become stronger, physically and spiritually." Hiei replied. Something from underneath his headband glowed once more. It caught Kimura's attention.
"Uh.Hiei? What were you dreaming about?" Kimura asked cautiously.
"What?" Hiei asked his voice slightly raised. "You were dreaming. You were yelling pretty loud in your sleep." Kimura said looking at his forehead. "And something was glowing." She reached over for Hiei's headband, but he quickly slapped her hand away leaving a red mark. Kimura rubbed it, but never took her eye off his headband.
"What are you hiding under there?" She said boldly. "Nothing that concerns you." Hiei said walking back over to the window sill. "Well?" Kimura asked impatiently.
"Well what?" Hiei asked looking out the window.
"What were you dreaming about? You were yelling at ningens to stay away from a girl."
Hiei's eyes widened. He could now faintly recall dreaming about Yukina, and how she was captured a while ago for her tear gems. Kimura saw Hiei clench his free hand into a fist. It isn't important." Hiei put his sword back into its sheath.
Kimura sighed. "You are so stubborn." She said chucking a pillow at his head. Hiei turned to look at kimura she was smiling, and her beautiful green eyes sparkled in the moon light. Hiei quickly looked away, putting his sword back in his sheath.
Kimura sighed again. "Hiei, you need to learn how to have some fun!" she yelled at him. Hiei looked at her again. "Oh I have plenty fun." Hiei replied stroking his katana. Kimura rolled her eyes. "not like that!" Kimura said loudly. Hiei gave her another look, almost as if to say how could that not be fun.
Kimura grabbed Hiei's arm and yanked hard, causing Hiei to slide of the window sill. His katana fell to the floor. "what the hell?" Hiei asked looking at Kimura. "Come on I'll teach you!" she said with a giggle. Hiei looked aggravated but decided to give in. he walked with her toward the door. "Your mother will worry." He said looking at her, hopefully hearing her change her mind. "She doesn't come home until five." Kimura said opening the door. Kimura and Hiei both stepped outside. Kimura lead Hiei to the park. It was pitch black, accept the streetlights that kept the park partially illuminated.
Kimura ran to the swings and sat on one giggling. Hiei walked over and stood in front of her. "You call this fun?" Hiei said in an annoyed voice. "Yeah!" kimura said with a laugh in her voice. "My mom used to take me here when I was younger. Jeeze Hiei didn't you have a child hood?"
Hiei looked down at the ground. Kimura looked at him. His hand slowly made its way to his katana which was back, strapped around his waist. He pulled it out of its sheath and started swinging it at invisible targets. Hiei started to blur in Kimura's vision. Her eyes could just about keep up with him. Hiei stopped and turned to look at Kimura. You followed my every movement?" Hiei asked. Kimura. She nodded.
"I'll race you."
"What?"
I'll race you." Kimura replied again with a smirk. "From here to that tree all the way down there." She said pointing to a tree about a half a mile down the open field.
"Your going to lose."
"No I wont."
"Yes you will."
"No I wont."
"Yes you will. Ready set go!" Hiei said without any warning. The two raced down the opened field with all their speed. They were just about equal until about ¾ of the way through Hiei fell a few feet behind. He wasn't going to let a half demon girl beat him at something he could do best. He reached out and pulled her jacket collar, pulling her behind.
"Hey! You cheater!!" Kimura screamed trying to catch up she was only a few feet behind. Hiei laughed really loud and really hard. It startled Kimura for a second. She never heard him laugh before. It sounded so devious. Kimura wasn't going to let him get away with what he did. Just as they were nearing the tree, Kimura pounced, landing on Hiei very hard, and grabbing his feet. Hiei tripped and tumbled with Kimura, both reaching the tree at the same time. Neither of them could get up.
"I guess we both win." Kimura said with a smile on her face looking up at the stars. "Hiei you cheater!" she said reaching over and hitting him in the stomach. Kimura looked over at Hiei. He was actually.smiling.? Hiei looked up at the stars, his body sprawled out over the grass.
"See Hiei, that was fun." Kimura said happily. "It wasn't fun, it was practice." Hiei answered quickly. "You had fun and you know it Hiei!" Kimura looked to her left to find Hiei's eyes closed. He opened them and turned to face Kimura.
"Hn."
Kimura rolled over and hit something hard. She moaned and opened her eyes. A silhouette of some one lay next to her sprawled out across the floor on their back, sleeping as well. the moonlight shown through the window and lit the dark room. Kimura could see that she fell asleep next to Hiei who used to be against the couch. He must have fallen over during the night.
