"C'mon Natalie, Hiei, I say it's time we went to sleep. Its past 11" Kurama's voice rang out from the living room. Natalie rose to her feet and flitted out of there as quick as she could, and left Hiei to his own thoughts.
The young Jaganshi ran his hand through his spiky black hair and sighed. 'What the hell was I thinking!?' his mind screamed. 'That was so uncalled for.....kissing her......if you can even call it a kiss that is.....' he crossed his arms, and rested his chin on the countertop. His tired ruby eyes were filled with regret as they slowly drifted closed.
'Why would I even WANT to kiss someone like her? She is crude, stubborn, and has a horrible attitude......just like me......' his eyes snapped open. 'Just like....me? Is she like me?' thoughts of their first encounter came flooding back. How he saved her from dying. How he read her mind and saw how horrible her life was......how she was a paid assassin by that bastard Suzaku...how no one had every really cared about her till just recently....
She WAS like him! So much like him! They were both fighters, and they both had lived through touch lives! They had no one. No family. Many enemies, and few who could be considered 'friends'. They shared a common bond; that's why he liked her! THAT'S why everything felt ok to him when she was around! That's why he was lusting after her....
That must be it. What else could it be? This want of her....was lust. Craving for sexual pleasure with someone like you. Kurama tried to warn him about mating season, but he hadn't really cared, or listened to him. He thought he could surpass other demons, and ignore the need to love another.
It was only lust.
No one, not even Kurama, could deny that Natalie was a beautiful girl. Shoulder length wavy, golden hair, cerulean eyes, smooth tan skin....a lean body, thin waist, curved in all the right places. She was like an angel.......one sent from hell.
He wasn't in love.
It was completely normal to want someone attractive. But if he just 'wanted' her......then why was this faint aching in his heart....?
From somewhere in the house he could hear two voices arguing faintly, so he decided to go stop the two Youkai before someone got hurt. As he walked up the stairs he saw that Natalie and Kurama were in the hall, about...pajamas? Kurama was in his own silk green night wear, and was holding out a magenta pair of pajama's to Natalie, who wouldn't take them.
"But Natalie, why can't you just wear these!? Those black ones are Hiei's!" Kurama tried to ask calmly. "But I hate pink! I'm not gonna wear those!" was her stubborn reply, as she clutched the black garments to her.
Kurama leaned against the wall behind him and slowly rubbed his temples. "Natalie sometimes you can be so childish! Those are Hiei's; if you wear them, what will he wear?!"
Natalie shrugged, and crossed her arms. "I don't know, but I want these" Kurama was about to protest but Hiei stepped in and stopped them. "Forget is Kurama, I Don't care"
He looked over his shoulder and gave her a teasing smirk. "She's worn them before, so they already stink with her scent. She can HAVE them now' I don't want them back"
Natalie scowled and blushed furiously. "What ever, good night KURAMA." And with that said, she turned to walk into Kurama's room, and slowly shut the door behind her. But not before she winked at Hiei and sent him a telepathic message saying 'you look better in pink anyway'
It was Hiei's turn to blush, and he chuckled slightly. Kurama cleared his throat, getting the others attention. "What was THAT all about?"
Hiei decided to ignore him, and flitted out f the house, and into the tree out side of Kurama's room. This was his usual sleeping spot, so why should he stop now? Even if it was Natalie in the room tonight....getting undressed.....right in front of him.....
Hiei tried to look away, but turned back when he saw that she was fully clothed again. His black pants were baggy on her slim hips, and she had to keep pulling them up. She released her hair from her ponytail, and shook her head lightly. Curiously, she looked around the room, picking up objects as she went. She stopped when she was in front on what Kurama called his 'stereo', and stared at it in wonder. Hesitantly, she reached out and pressed the large button right in the center, labeled play.
Instantly a sweet melody began to play. And Natalie let a smile grace her face. She turned the volume on low, and listened to the words.
'I can't understand it,
The search for an answer is met with a darker day
And we've been handed these moments forever
But I'm reassured theirs another way'
Natalie closed her eyes and breathed, deeply, loving the way the words seemed to float out with so much emotion. The way this ningens voice was so deep, yet high, and made the song come alive in her ears.
'You don't have to close your eyes
There is room for love again
Ease the pain to realize all that love can be
Forced apart by time and sand
Take a step and take my hand
And don't let it go
Never let go.....'
Natalie didn't realize it, but she started to sway to the beat, dancing slowly along with the song. Her eyes were closed, as she danced with her imaginary partner, humming along with the song.
'Broken, once connected
We were so strong and so blessed in a simple way
So don't let me go alone'
Arms swaying, hair flying behind her, she turned gracefully, spinning on foot. Slowly, her feet left the ground, and she was floating in mid air. A foot above the floor, she continued to dance, flying through the air like an angel with out wings.
Hiei gaped at her through the open window, amazed by her grace. She twirled and she curtsied, singing along quietly. Her voice was amazing. It....it faintly reminded Hiei of a bird singing, sweet, quiet, but load at the same time. Oh, it was a beautiful sound; one he could listen to for hours.
'Turn your head up to the sky
Nothing down but below mw
Face the truth to realize all that we could be
Torn apart by rage and fear
Hold onto what brought you here
Don't let it go
Never let it go....'
The song ended slowly, and was over by time Natalie landed back on the ground. A dreamy smile still on her flushed face, she made her way over to Kurama's bed and lay down. Snuggling into its warmth, Hiei could hear her mutter something.
"Mmm...Hiei's pajama's smell spicy...faintly of burning wood, sweat......and cinnamon....I like it..."
Hiei blushed in the darkness, unseen by anyone, and leaned closer to the window, trying to hear her better.
The young Youkai yawned, and with her last speaking breath, she whispered 'I'll never let Hiei go....."
