Chapter five!!!!!!!!!! Okay. Very happy here. Thank you Chaos and Kitty
the Black Ice Cat for providing flames and claws with which to burn
Kuwabaka's eyes out. Okay, one author's note for you all to read YOU HAVE
TO READ THIS ONE!! I have to remember to thank Kita Moriki 'The Youkai and
You' The way that Rei found Hiei and did the whole first aid in the
bathroom thing is based on the way Maki did stuff in her story. Except her
character is not a bumbling idiot who falls out windows and has to spend a
little time in a clinic (like my friend Jess will probably have to... *gasp!*
who said that?! Beccer, please don't tell on me!). That is a must read for
fanfiction.net, her story. Okay. I think that covers it. Oh, wait.
THANK YOU REVEIWERS!!!!!!!!!!! Okay. Now I'm done. :-)
Chapter Five: I'm Not Crazy
"Did he now. Well...he must be punished."
You were frickin terrified. What was this guy talking about? How did they get in your house? What was the thing they were standing in? How did they get in your house? Had you done something wrong? How did they get in your house? After all these questions ran through your head, you realized what he had said. 'Did he now. Well... he must be punished.' Why are they talking about me like I'm a guy? Wait. They don't mean me.
Hiei.
You turned to him. His fists were clenched. He looked back. "Rei... where did you put my katana?" you stared at him. "REI!! WHERE DID YOU PUT MY KATANA?!" he yelled, scaring you out of your shock.
"Katana?" you asked, unsure.
"MY SWORD!! WHERE IS MY SWORD?!" Oh. You could figure that out.
"On the shelf in the corner over there." You nodded to the far left, as subtlety as you could. God, you were freaked out. How did Hiei know these guys?
You were looking at him, and he spoke. You didn't hear, but what he said was "Something weird is going to happen, but no matter what, you have to trust me, and remember I'm your friend." You were just in shock, and didn't hear his warning. You just sat dazed. That is, until he jumped out of the bed, which freaked you out, disappeared, and then appeared again holding the sword, in front of the swirly thing. You realized how weird this was. You just ran down the stairs as fast as you could, screaming your head off. Your mom came running.
"REI! What is going on! Who's thumping? Why was there a shaking in our house? Why are there voices upstairs? Why were you in your sister's room? Are you okay?" your mom bombarded you with questions, and you just stood there. You think that was when it started burning. You smelled the smoke from upstairs, and the flames started blazing. Your mom grabbed you and ran out of the house. Now she was screaming. That didn't help your current state of mind at all. Your house was burning. Some evil looking things were in your sister's room upstairs. Hiei was fighting them, and you had no fucking idea what was going on. You would have stayed like that, staring into space like a vegetable, if the firefighters hadn't come at that second. One of your neighbors must have seen the fire and called. There were men all around you, in coats so bright yellow and dark black that it made your head spin. Again. Damn, this was not a good night. They grabbed you, and asked you if you were hurt, and if you could feel them when they pinched you, and if you had any trouble breathing, and if you felt and chest pain. You just sat there and shook your head no. They gave up on you, as you clearly weren't in any pain, and you heard them talking about how you were in shock. Damn right you were in shock.
They kept talking, all really loud. You went around back. There it was quiet. You sat by the pond, and watched your house wither away. It almost seemed funny. No. It WAS funny. It was hilarious. You sat there, and started silently laughing. You laughed so hard you were tearing. And then the tearing turned into crying. So you sat there and you sobbed. And a burning piece of wood landed right in front of you in the pond. But that was okay. Not like you cared anymore. You didn't care about anything. There was a huge crash. Then a man's voice crying out "I've got the cat!" wow. Great achievement. He saved Swizzy. Good for him. Then there was a series of crashing, male screaming, and roaring. That wasn't the firemen. It was Hiei and his little friends. Wonderful. You were so happy for them.
For what seemed like the tenth time that night you registered what was going on. Hiei. In a burning house. With someone who said he needed punishment. Oh. And the guy who said he needed punishment was wearing a hooded cloak. Never trust people in hooded cloaks. They usually turn out to be evil or hiding something. Neither of those is good. Neither of them. More crashing. More screaming. And firefighters screaming "there's someone in the house! There's someone in the house!" no duh. It's not like the sounds were happening by themselves. You looked up to the attic window, and saw there was a glow from the flames, but after a second look, you realized the glow was definitely NOT from the flames. The glow was purple. The swirly thing was casting beautiful lights. Suddenly they stopped. No! they were so pretty! That was when you realized the portal was closed. And either Hiei or the evil things were dead. You backed up. The house was swaying. And houses don't even sway.
"It's collapsing!" screamed a fire fighter. That's wonderful! Why don't they get out their hoses now and try putting out the fire?! It's what they're hired to do! They get paid to do that! It was great to see how everyone's tax money was being put to use. You were still backing up. As the house crashed to the ground, a black shadow jumped out, and landed in front of you. It looked like a person... it was a person. It was Hiei. His shirt was completely burned off now, and he was burning.
BURNING?
He wasn't even screaming or anything. He wasn't even acting like it bothered him in the least. He was sheathing the sword. At least you think that was the right term. But he was burning. Burning. You squeaked. He obviously heard that, because he whipped the sword, or, the katana, out and turned to face you in what looked like a fighting stance. You couldn't tell, having only seen real sword work in movies. He saw it was you, and put the sword away. But what he saw you with scared you.
Hiei had three eyes.
Right above the red ones, in the center of his forehead, was another eye. It was purple. And it was there. Purple. You squeaked again. He looked at you. You shut your eyes and rubbed them, and reassured yourself that you only had two. You opened them again, and the purple thing in the center of Hiei's forehead still stared at you. Unblinking. Hiei sighed, and waved his hand, and all the fire on him jumped off, formed into a little ball, and flew off to join the fire that consumed the thing that had once been your home. That was too much. You screamed. And then you ran. You ran over through the fences, and under the thorn bushes. You ran screaming from the pathway to your backyard right into your driveway, where ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars were parked. You were hysterical, and the medical workers whisked you and your mom (your neighbors took Swizzy to their house) to the hospital. You sat there on the bed. Babbling about how you didn't know, and it was your fault, and he was a demon. You kept reaching up to your forehead, and feeling it to make sure there were absolutely no third eyes. Hospital workers took this as a sign that your brain was damaged. And you weren't sure. Maybe it was. But you had seen what you had seen. And Hiei had three eyes. When the doctors asked you what you thought had happened to the house, you told them. You told them everything. From the lost key and the woods all the way to the ride to this hospital in the ambulance. They stared at you.
Finally the man doctor said to his nurse "Shelly, she's in an advanced state of shock. Her brain is muddled. I need you to call the clinic and ask if they can take her for a while." The nurse nodded, and walked away. You hugged yourself. The doctor turned to you. "Rei? Everything you saw today was just something in your head. It can't hurt you. You're in shock." You hugged yourself harder, and he left.
When he was gone, you started swaying back and forth and saying to yourself "I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy. Nope. Not me. I'm not crazy."
HIEI'S POV
Damn. I knew this was going to happen. Sooner or later. It's just better that it happened sooner rather than later. Damn damn damn. So much for trust.
