Tokay Breaks The Barrier
Sorry everybody for me taking so long to update, I've just been really busy with school work and all. Also, I've been having some problems with my computer, but it's pretty much settled now. Well, here's the next chapter, and sorry to keep you in such suspence.
~*~*~*~
After Tokay left from Hiei's sight, she watched him walk away. Then she turned around and bumped into something big.
"Hey, get outta my way, stupi-" she stopped talking, seeing it was Karasu she bumped into. "I mean, hi...."
"Tokay, I just wanted to ask you something" Karasu said.
"Like?" Tokay asked impatiently.
"Since you did such a good job ALMOST killing Yukina, we've decided that you should be given another job to do" Karasu said.
"Who should I kill this time?" Tokay asked, then added, "Where's your shoulder monkey?"
"Kuwabara, Yusuke's closest friend" Karasu answered, ignoring her other question about Elder Toguro.
"Can do, what's my time limit?" Tokay asked.
"Dawn" Karasu replied.
"What?!" Tokay demanded.
"You heard me" Karasu said, and disappeared in a blur of black.
~*~*~*~*
Hiei leaned against a tree, staring out into nothingness as if it were more interesting than sweetsnow. A rustling in the bushes told him someone else was out there. He glared when he found out who.
"Hiei" Tokay acknowlaged, bowing her head slightly.
"Hn" was Hiei's obvious reply.
"What are you doing out here?" Tokay asked, staring into his crimson eyes.
Hiei's eyes diverted to the ground.
"Hn" he answered.
"You think you just know everything, don't you?!" Tokay snapped. "You think you have the right to treat everyone badly, just because... uh.... uh, yeah! Butt hole!!"
"Well done" Hiei said sarcastically with a snicker.
"I have better comebacks! I have better comebacks than you'll ever have!" Tokay snarled.
"Oh, really?" Hiei smirked.
"You know, just shut up" Tokay growled. "You think you're better than everyone else"
"I know I am" Hiei said. "That's the difference between us, Tokay, you think, I know"
"Why you little-"
Hiei's dark eyes made her stop talking right in her tracks. She flicked her tail and paced in front of Hiei, muttering incoherantly. Hiei's eyes followed her every movement. He felt his cheeks go warm, and quickly turned away. Tokay glanced at him and walked close to him. Very close. As she spoke, he could feel her breath on his cheeks.
"You know, since you've got nothing better to do, let's have a practice battle" Tokay said.
"Ha" Hiei mocked.
"Hey, you didn't say 'hn'" Tokay grinned. "So, what do you say?"
"I say you're on" Hiei quickly drew his katana just as Tokay drew her bow and placed an arrow on the string. She shot an arrow at him, but he blocked it by moving his katana so the arrow only hit it and bounced off in another direction.
Hiei charged at Tokay, sword raised, and slashed it at her. She jumped backward, barely dodging the sword save for a few long hairs that were dramatically cut off from the blade. She regained balance and shot another arrow that missed Hiei by a few inches. Hiei slashed his sword at her again, and made a solid hit that drove Tokay off her feet.
"Pathetic" Hiei said, walking away from her.
Tokay held her bleeding shoulder and got to her feet again. Ignoring the pain in her shoulder, she shot an arrow at Hiei. It whistled past his ear, instantly catching his attention.
"I'm not finished with you yet" Tokay growled, aiming another arrow at him.
Hiei hit her with his sword again, sending her to the ground again. He watched through narrowed eyes as she climbed to her feet again, a familiar stubborn look on her face.
Hiei once again used his sword to make her fall to the ground. Her breathing was very heavy by now, and blood was gushing slowly out of her three flesh wounds. Hiei rolled his eyes, hoping she wouldn't get up again, for he didn't want to have to hurt her anymore.
"I'm still.... gonna get you" Tokay breathed, struggling to her feet. Her feet slipped beneath her and she fell back onto her rear.
Hiei sighed with anger and held out his hand. Tokay eyed him suspisiously, and cautiously took his rough hand. He gently lifted her to her feet and held her hand until she could keep balance on her own. As soon as she got her balance, he quickly dropped her soft hand, both hating and liking the feeling of their hands grasped together. He shook his head of the thought and lifted his sword as she prepared to fight him again.
~*~*~*~*~
"You know, Hiei, I have a feeling you're starting to like me" Tokay said slyly as she and Hiei walked aimlessly through the woods. The moonlight shone in shadows through the trees as they walked in complete unison to each other's footsteps.
"Hn. What makes you think that?" Hiei asked.
"Well, do you?" Tokay asked.
It was an answer enough from the silence Hiei was giving.
Tokay took hold of Hiei's hand, and they continued walking in silence.
"I like you too" Tokay said, breaking the silence between them.
"I never said I like you" Hiei let go of her hand and pulled it back to his side, stopping both their paces.
"It's written all over your face, Hiei" Tokay giggled.
"Hn" Hiei grunted and faced away from her accusing eyes.
"So, you don't like me?" Tokay's eyes softened against the pale moonlight.
"I never said I didn't like you either" Hiei said quietly.
"Hn" Tokay said. She cursed under her breath. 'He's rubbing off on me' she thought.
"What would you do if I kissed you right now?" Hiei asked.
"You don't like me, so there's no reason for you to kiss me" Tokay said haughtily. Her eyes searched his cold crimson ones for sincerety.
"But what if I did?" Hiei stepped closer to Tokay, and she stepped back from him.
"I don't know" Tokay said, finally getting backed up into a tree.
"How about we find out?" Hiei said, coming face to face with her.
"Why did you even bring up this subject?" Tokay asked.
"I would never have asked about it, if I wasn't going to do it" Hiei said, his breath lightly carressed her face. Tokay's heart pounded loudly in her ears, destroying her focus more and more every second more she looked in his eyes.
Hiei pressed his forehead against hers as his lips slowly moved closer to hers. She took a sharp intake of breath as his lips barely hovered over her own. Tokay's eyes nervously diverted to the black sky, and she gasped.
"Oh, crap!" she yelled, pushing Hiei away from her. "I have to go, Hiei, I'm so late!"
"Wait!" Hiei called after Tokay's quickly disappearing body. "Late for what?!"
~*~*~*~*
"Damn damn damn" Tokay continued rambling. "Why did I have to be with him all day long?! Why didn't I just get this job over with?"
Tokay stopped outside the hotel, panting for breath. She looked up at all the windows, seeing only a few lights on. Kuwabara was asleep, good. A silent kill would be much better than a loud one that would attract attention.
She paused for a moment to change her form. The moon shone against her new red colored hair, and she walked toward the hotel. She stopped and looked back, hearing footsteps closely behind.
It was Hiei, and he was quickly running toward the hotel, but he stopped next to her and glanced her over.
"Have you seen a silver haired girl running down here?" he asked.
Tokay opened her mouth to speak, but thought better of it, for he might recognise her voice. She instead shook her head and shrugged. Hiei barely bowed his head, and flitted off again.
"That was too close" she whispered to herself. "I can't get tangled up with people while I'm on a mission"
Although that's what Tokay said, she still couldn't help herself remembering the touch of Hiei's hand, and his breath on her cheeks. She couldn't hold back the blush as she finally entered the hotel.
