Kimura awoke in her bedroom. The sun was shining brightly through her
window. "Kimura! Your awake!" Her mother said walking into the room. "Yes
mother...." She answered. "You were so luck your friends were able to find
you. Next time you leave to go to the library you should leave a note. you
had me worried for an hour!" Her mother said folding her arms. "Huh?"
Kimura asked. "I was about to cal the police when your friends came by.
Your friend was carrying you in his arms. He said that you were all at the
library and two of you had passed out because of the heat." She said
walking over and opening the blinds a little more. ".....library.....two?"
Kimura asked. "Yes, you and the short one.....Hiei is his name?" Kimura's
mother asked. Kimura got out of bed and rushed for her door. "Kimura slow
down, he is alright...he is downstairs with the rest of your friends lying on
the couch."
Kimura ran downstairs to find everyone watching T.V, and Hiei still unconscious on the couch. "Oh you're awake." Yusuke said. "Want some?" He asked holding up a bag of potato chips. "How long have I been out?" Kimura asked. "Well it is now 3:00. we got you home at 1:00." Kurama said. "Yeah we are all lucky that your mother worked lat into the day as well, or else we would have to come up with a better excuse than that." Kuwabara said. "So...I really didn't pass out at the library, and the whole necklace thing...it wasn't a dream." Kimura said. "Of course not...I mean who would pass out at the library?" Yusuke asked.
"Is he ok?" Kimura asked running over to Hiei. She noticed he had a few layers of blankets over him and he was shaking uncontrollably. "He looks so cold.....his lips are even purple....." Kimura said. "Yeah.....that would be the effect your kiss had....." Yusuke laughed. "My.....what?" Kimura asked. "You don't remember anything in your demon form do you?" Yusuke asked. "My demon form!? The last thing I remember Hiei was shoving his sword at my throat." Kimura said. She bowed her head. "Don't worry Kimura......Hiei didn't mean it. He had a strange effect from the necklace. He used it when we were not looking. your demon form sensed something wrong with Hiei, so destroyed the necklace."
The last few minutes Kurama explained exactly what happened to Hiei and Kimura, saying that there was a strange force upon that necklace almost brainwashing Hiei, and explaining to Kimura what her demon form had done to Hiei. "but.....i would never do that to Hiei." Kimura said looking at Hiei's sleeping body. Yusuke shrugged his shoulders. Kimura walked over and out her hand on Hiei's cheek. "Hey.....he stopped shivering." Kuwabara said. Kimura smiled.
Hiei groaned. "Hey I think he is waking up." Yusuke said. "Excellent.....now its time for all of us to go." Kurama said. "W.....wait.....you guys aren't going to leave me here with him are you?" Kimura asked. Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama all left the room. A few seconds later, there was a sound of a door closing. "Jerks...they did that on purpose.....now what?"Kimura thought to herself. Another groan came from Hiei. "Heh heh....." a sweat drop ran down her forehead. Hiei slowly sat up, and looked around. His eyes rested on Kimura. Kimura froze. "maybe if I stay really still, he won't see me and fall back to sleep." Kimura thought to herself. "oh hell.....where am I?" Hiei asked rubbing his head. "er.....my house....." Kimura said. "where is everyone?" Hiei asked. "um.....they went home....." Kimura answered. "Its so damn hot in this place....." Hiei said. He took off his shirt and threw it aside. "Well.....that was because you were shivering uncontrollably." Kimura said picking up Hiei's shirt. "Hn......where is the necklace?" Hiei asked. "I.....uh accidentally broke it on purpose." Kimura said pretending to be very interested in the threading of Hiei's shirt. Kimura could feel Hiei's heavy gaze rest on her. "Well.....it wasn't me it was my demon form.....the necklace was doing something weird to you ok......it was making you act..... different." Kimura said. "Well did it ever occur to you that maybe I was intentionally acting like that?" Hiei walked over and snatched the shirt out of Kimura's hand. "Oh.....you were...." Kimura said. She backed up a little, accidentally hitting the wall. a second later, Hiei had vanished.
Kimura could feel herself shaking. "So he does want me dead.....because of my mother...." Kimura said allowed. Kimura now felt scared. She had no idea what to do. "Oh......Kimura? Where is Hiei?" Kimura's mother asked. "Oh.....he left, he feels a lot better.....um.....im going to go over to Kurama's house mom.....he invited me over for dinner." Kimura said. "Ok, but have him walk you back." Her mother said smiling. "Ok, bye!" Kimura said waving to her mother.
Before Kimura left, she slipped on her red tank top and jeans, and slid out the door. She had lied to her mother. Kurama wasn't even expecting her, but she felt very unsafe at the moment, and perhaps Kurama would be able to help her, after all, Hiei is very close to him. She thought.
Kimura knocked on Kurama's door. The door opened, and Kurama smiled. "Hello Kimura, are you feeling better?" Kurama asked. "yes thank you." Kimura said nodding. "Well come in, Hiei is here." Kurama said in a chuckle. "Oh...he is? Um...you know that ok..... I have to go and see yusuke.....I forgot to .....give him something.....thank you Kurama! Bye!" Kimura said running off back onto the sidewalk. Kurama watched as Kimura sprinted off down the street, then closed the door. "Strange....." Kurama said walking back into his kitchen. "What is?" Hiei asked. "Well that was Kimura.....she seemed kind of upset at the moment, and when I mentioned your name, she seemed frightened, and said she had to go." Kurama said giving Hiei a suspicious look. "What did you do when we left?" Kurama asked. "Hn......I barely said a word." Hiei said walking over to the window. "Yes well what little you did say, it seemed to upset her." Kurama said. "the only thing I said was I meant to act the way I did." Hiei spat. The room was filled with silence. "Hiei.....do you remember anything that had happened after you put the necklace on?" Kurama asked. "Hn." "You indeed were acting strange. You threatened to cut Kimura's throat. You then insisted on killing her, and you to fought, Kimura in her demon form. You were still weak, so she won the fight, paralyzing your lower half of your body, and knocking you unconscious with a kiss that supposedly froze you temporarily on the inside." Kurama said. "I presume that the necklace was exaggerating your emotion of being vengeful on Kimura's mother." Hiei stood there looking at the floor for a few minutes. He seemed to be in deep thought. "Hiei?" Kurama asked. "Hn." Hiei vanished.
"Damn you Yusuke! Why do you always have to be out somewhere starting a fight or whatever!" Kimura said running with her demon's speed. Kimura stopped. She suddenly felt a great deal of energy around her. Kimura saw something move in the corner of her eye. She turned her head, but it was not there anymore. She shook herself. "Urg! Great now im seeing things." Kimura yelled to herself. She was still very scared, and she was getting aggravated. She slowly walked toward the dock that overlooked a beautiful lake. Kimura walked over to the edge, and looked into the water. It reflected the beautiful sunset and its multi colored shades of pink and purple. Kimura closed her eyes and sighed. She opened her eyes again and looked back down into the water. Kimura jumped. There was now another reflection in the water. Kimura turned around, and pulled out her sword. Hiei stood a couple of inches away from the blade, his hands in his pockets.
"I wont let you kill me!" Kimura said. She ran at Hiei with the blade, Hiei dodging it. "Kimura.....wait." Hiei said. Kimura took another swing at him. Hiei pulled out his katana, and blocked it, causing Kimura's sword to break in five places. Kimura gasped in shock. She stepped backwards, and formed a few ice shards in her hand. Hiei grabbed her arm, and pulled her close to him. "I don't want to kill you." Kimura gave him a suspicious look. Hiei slowly let go of Kimura and took a step back. "Are you lying?" Kimura asked. "I didn't mean what I said before." Hiei answered. "I cant even remember what went on. Kurama had to tell me." He said putting his Katana back in its sheath. "I would never kill or attack an acquaintance of mine because of what happened in the past that never concerned them. I would only attack if necessary, or if it is Kuwabara." Hiei replied. Kimura smiled. "So.....can you find the strength to put this behind you?" Hiei asked. Kimura walked back up to Hiei, there faces only inches away from touching. Hiei froze and swallowed hard. "Hiei?" Kimura whispered. "Hmm?" Hiei asked. With much force, Kimura pushed Hiei as hard as she could. Hiei lost his balance and fell off the dock into the water. Hiei rose from the water coughing and gasping for breath. "IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER SOMETHING THEN DON'T PRETEND YOU DO! JUST ASK!" Kimura yelled. She turned around to walk away, but Hiei grabbed her by her ankles, pulling her in. Kimura yelled in shock. "Hiei!" Kimura screamed. She splashed him, and crawled back on the dock, Hiei following her.
"Hiei.....I'm sorry about the necklace." Kimura said walking along side of him. "It doesn't matter.....I didn't really want it as bad, I only did it because I respected my master. I only used it because I knew he would want me to. I find the necklace very pathetic that you would have stoop so low as to steeling other's energy." Hiei said. "Yes, I could see where you'd say that." Kimura agreed. "Hey do you want to eat over my house?" Kimura asked. "My mom isn't home right now because she is working the night shift, but im sure we could find something. Kimura said with a smile. "Im not hungry, besides it is late and you should rest, regain all of your energy." Hiei said. "Yeah I guess your right." Kimura said.
They arrived at Kimura's doorstep. After saying goodnight, Kimura went directly upstairs, changed into warm dry pajamas, and crawled into bed. She fell asleep almost immediately. Hiei sat on the outside of Kimura's window, leaning against the window sill and looking in. He smiled, and fell asleep.
Kimura ran downstairs to find everyone watching T.V, and Hiei still unconscious on the couch. "Oh you're awake." Yusuke said. "Want some?" He asked holding up a bag of potato chips. "How long have I been out?" Kimura asked. "Well it is now 3:00. we got you home at 1:00." Kurama said.
