YAY! Okay, I'm not being cocky, but I GOT SO MANY REVEIWS!!!!!!!!!!!! I
love you all, mwa mwa mwa. YAY! Okay, now, answering some questions and
notes... I think everyone should read the first one, it explains a lot
Kitsune Nikore: Rei wasn't really close to her sister. There was a huge age difference. She didn't know much about her sister except she was a serious get out of my way Goth. Her sister was killed in a car accident when Rei was three. Her parents didn't really want Rei to know her sister too much in case she was a bad influence. Rei's parents still loved their first born, and didn't want to touch her room, in case her spirit might come back to kill them just out of spite (okay, now, if you really want, you can skip ahead to the story)
Kinryou (one of the Insane Rurounis): everything about how Hiei got hurt is explained in the second chapter. I fixed the formatting so it is now readable (
Hmm... I think that about covers questions, but I want to thank everyone who reviewed. I love you soooooo much.
Disclaimer: sigh. I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho. Tear tear. :'( :'(
OKAY! HERE IS CHAPTER FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHAPTER FOUR: Ponds, Pizza, and Punishment
"Oh shit." You whispered, your head turned towards the stairs. If she knew you were up here she would drag you downstairs and have a "talk" with you. She would sit there and cry, and babble, and cry, and babble... and the worst thing is she'd come up here and touch everything, weeping on how your sister used to love it. And if she did, she'd see Hiei, and the state the bathroom was in. You were about to run down the stairs and act like you hadn't been up here, when you looked down at yourself.
"Damn!" you said. You were covered head to toe in Hiei's blood. You looked at him, and he looked questioningly at you.
"It's my mom." You explained "she's home. She'd freak if she found you here." You looked frantically around for some means of escape.
The window.
'Oooooh no' you thought 'even Neo couldn't go out the window in The Matrix. I definitely can't.'
"Reeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!! Honey, where are you?"
That made up your mind for you. "Whatever you do, stay silent" you whispered to Hiei, and with a quick prayer, you headed out the window.
Okay. You could do this. Look. Your window to your room was in reach. You slid into it. You did a mental victory dance, kind of like a drunk doing a backwards version of the mambo (that belongs to Sarcasmsage in the story Krum Who?) you grabbed different clothes, stuffed them on, and threw the bloody ones under your bed. Now you had to focus on the blood on your hands and hair. You were waaaay too cocky with your victory of climbing from the attic window to your oversized one, and decided to try it again to get to the hose outside. You climbed out the window again. You were lowering yourself when your hand slipped, and you fell right into the pond in your backyard with a huge splash. It was a real pond. There were fish and frogs and Lilly pads, and who knows what else. It was not cleaned, and was made of muck. Your mom heard that. She came running out and saw you spluttering, barely above water, the wind knocked out of you from your unceremonious belly flop. Your mom hoisted you out of the pond.
"Rei! What are you doing? Are you hurt? Why were you out here? Are you aware that it's nine forty five at night...."
Bla bla bla. Your mom rambled on, as you looked at the pretty shiny faeries above you. There's Tinkerbell, and Thumbelina, and ... you realized what you were doing, and sat up so fast it made your head spin again. After assuring your mom you were fine, you went into the kitchen, realizing you hadn't had anything to eat all day. You looked around.
"Honey!" your mom called from outside. "I brought you home a pizza for dinner; I know how you hate to cook"
Alright! You opened the pizza box located below your moms purse, and were about to bring up just a slice when you remembered Hiei. He probably hadn't eaten either. So you took the entire box and four cans of Coke from the fridge.
"Rei... are you going to feed an army up in your room?" your mom asked
You froze on the steps. "No... no, of course not! You know me! Hungry hungry hungry me! I have to go finish my homework now! Bye!" You ran around your mom, and got to the attic stairs. That was when you realized you were covered in pond muck, and blood was still slightly visible under it. You sighed and stepped into the shower, using soap on even your hair, just for a quick cleaner. You changed clothes for the third time that day, and brushed your wet hair out. You looked at it distastefully. Your hair was constantly waging a war against you. No matter what shampoo you used, and no matter how you dried it, it was always dull and limp and brown. You had decided to get layers one year, and it looked like it was just ragged on the ends now. You sighed. At least you couldn't tell while it was wet. You grabbed the pizza and cokes and ran up to the attic, where Hiei was still sitting there in the bed, looking utterly confused.
"Did you fall in some water?" he asked, looking at your wetness (sorry, couldn't think of a better word) "I heard a splash"
"Um..." you said, timidly. God this was so embarrassing. "Well, actually, yeah. I fell out my window into the pond."
"Hn" Hiei smirked. You fumed.
"IT'S NOT FUNNY!" you screeched. Your mom definitely heard that.
"Rei! Are you okay?"
"Fine Mom!" you hollered out "I was yelling at some really annoying idiot on the radio who I should slap in the face right now!" Ha ha! That wiped the smirk off of Hiei's face.
"What did you say, ningen?" he snarled at you.
"Jeez! It was a joke! Calm down!" You were almost scared of the look in his eyes. 'God, I love his eyes' you stared at them more.
"Something wrong?" He asked shortly. You had been staring at him for about twenty seconds. That's a long time.
"What? Oh, oh. No. It's just, um." You stuttered, blushing furiously "your eyes, they're just, so, unusual"
He 'hn'ed again and turned away. God, I hated that. Why couldn't he just speak like a normal human being?
"Ugh" you said, in utter disgust. "Anyway, I brought some food; I thought you might be hungry." You brought the pizza box onto the bed, where you sat Indian style and opened a can of coke for yourself. "So..." you said, him having absolutely no reaction to this "do you like plain or pepperoni?" at this he turned around.
"What the hell is that?" he asked. You gaped at him. HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT PIZZA WAS?
"You don't know what pizza is?! What planet are you from?!" He frowned at you.
"I'm from a place very far away. We don't have whatchamacallit there."
"Pizza. The greatest substance in the world" you told him bluntly. "And whatever place you're from where you don't have it, I never want to go there."
"Hope that you never have to, ningen" he said, staring straight into your eyes with those huge red ones of his. "Hope that you never have to."
Okay. Freaky moment. You looked away, and reached down for another coke. You opened it and handed it to him, and he took it awkwardly.
Hiei's POV
"Hope that you never have to, ningen" I told her seriously, and looked right into her eyes. I kinda liked her eyes. They were brown. A color that might have been acceptable to the Koorimes. "Hope that you never have to." She stared at me for a second, and then seemed completely weirded out. She reached behind the bed, and grabbed a can of something. She opened it, and it made a weird sound, and handed it me.
"This is called Coca~Cola. It's a drink." She glugged some out of her own can, and I stared at her. The only person I had ever let take care of me was Kurama, and I wasn't happy about it then. Why was I cooperating with this girl? I sighed inwardly, and took a slice of the pizza thing, one of the ones without the little red circles on it, and nibbled on it. Not too bad. I looked at Rei. She was grinning at me
"Not too bad, eh, Hiei." She sounded happy. I shook my head. The grin faded, and she looked at me funny.
"Hiei?" I looked up at her again "can I ask you something?"
"If you have to"
"Why were you in the woods? What was going on? Why were you all bashed up?" I sighed. I knew this had been coming.
"Do you trust me, ningen?" I asked her. She looked confused
"What do you mean? Why do you keep calling me 'ningen'? What does that mean? It's really annoying." I didn't care what she was saying; I just needed to know if she trusted me.
"I asked you if you trusted me. It's a simple yes or no answer ninge... Rei. Do you? Really?"
She looked at me again like I was crazy, and slowly nodded her head. I sighed, took a deep breathe, and opened my mouth. Just then a purple swirly thing opened in the room. The same purple swirly thing I had fallen through.
"That's him, boss" said the nasally voice of a demon I thought I had killed in Kurama's cave "that's the one that done messed up our operation."
A dark, cloaked shadow loomed in the portal. "Did he now." It said slowly in a low voice. "Well... he must be punished."
Rei looked terrified.
