::Dragon, Fox and Wolf::
Trust and Suspicion
Hiei didn't need the girl's word for it to make him believe that she was a demon, he already knew. But still, she was reluctant to admit it.
"If your not demon, then how do you suppose you blocked my attack?" Hiei questioned. This damn girl will admit to her own kind, Hiei thought to himself.
"I...just did." The girl answered, but didn't sound very convincing.
"Listen, demon girl," Hiei stood up, "The reason why I know you're a demon is because of your eyes. You have the eyes of a demon, and there is nothing you can do to deny that."
The girl sighed, "So you found me out...Can I go now?"
"Of course not."
"Why?!"
"Because I'm not finished with you yet."
"What more could you possibly want from me?"
"Just quit yapping so I can finish asking my questions."
"Wait, before I do that, I have one question for you."
"Yes?"
"Are you a demon?"
Hiei swallowed. The stupid girl should have known, but then again, he didn't want her to find out. It would make things more difficult for him if she did.
"I'm not a demon," Hiei answered, "But I do know a lot about them."
"Then how did you control that fire?"
Hiei smirked. "I'm a pyro freak, just like you said."
"You are?!" 'No idiot, I'm not.' Hiei wanted to say. "Yes. I can manipulate fire."
"That's cool." The girl said with awe.
"Enough with that," Hiei cleared his throat. "Tell me more about yourself."
"There's not much to say- I'm a demon. Isn't that all you wanted to know?"
"What type of demon are you? Wind?" Hiei didn't know why he was asking so many questions, but it was easier to ask then just figure it out on his own, which is what he normally would do.
The girl laughed. "No not wind, I'm an ice demon."
'Ice demon...' Hiei thought slowly to himself, images of Yukina flashed in his mind. But he quickly shook those thoughts away.
"So, you're an ice demon. I find that hard to believe." Hiei said.
"Why?"
Hiei was about to tell her why, but he thought better of it. "Never mind."
"Well, if you don't believe me. I can prove it to you." A smirk worked its way across her face. Her eyes began to glow a light blue color, and the air around them grew cold and icy.
"Hn. Quit that, the humans will get suspicious."
She did as she was told, and suppressed her powers.
"Too cold for ya?" She laughed.
"Here is another question for you," Hiei began, completely ignoring the girl's remark, "You ARE a demon, so why do you have to act so-"
"Human?"
"...."
"I don't know," she shrugged, "I guess its just because I don't want people to know what I really am. They'd probably think I was some sort of freak."
"Why should you care about what the humans think about you?" Hiei asked, whom he himself was the most heartless when it came to humans. He usually wanted nothing to do with them. "You wouldn't understand..."
"Hn, whatever."
"I wish that there was someone out there, like me. I hate being alone."
Hiei cleared his throat and looked the other way.
"What's wrong?" Asked the girl.
"Nothing."
"You sure?"
"Of course. Now, I have to get going."
"Oh okay. Bye then. Uh, wait! What was your name?!" She shouted out to him, but he had already left and was out of sight.
"It was nice meeting you..." She sighed to herself.
=============================================================
"Kurama," Hiei said, suddenly appearing right behind him.
"Hello Hiei," Kurama turned around to greet him. He wasn't at all surprised to see him suddenly appear because Hiei did this to him all the time. "Where have you been all this time?"
"Talking. With an ice demon."
"An ice demon?" Kurama repeated, with surprise in his voice.
"That's right."
"Interesting. I'd like to meet this ice demon. No doubt, its the one that we're looking for."
"I don't know if she can be trusted yet. But, she is rather naïve. And foolish." Hiei added as a side note.
"It's a girl?"
"...yes."
"Well then, this is interesting. I don't know why I have been thinking all along that the demon we've been looking for was going to be a male. But, no matter. Just be careful, Hiei. Female ice demons can sometimes be the most deadly."
"I know that." Hiei said, then disappeared.
=============================================================
She stood there for a while, wondering where she was going to go next. But after a while she just began walking with no destination in mind. 'Wherever my heart takes me.' The girl smiled and thought to herself. That was one of her favorite quotes.
Most guys who knew her, would say that she is an interesting girl. She was certainly well liked by many. But no one knew very much about her. She herself, was still trying to uncover the truth about her past. She never knew her parents, and has been an orphan ever since she could remember. However, no one knew that she was an orphan. She, being only sixteen, was a very clever girl and knew how to manage her life quite easily. It was for her own good. If word ever got out that she was an orphan, the Child Protective Services would be after her in no time.
As the night dragged on, the girl kept walking. Her hands were buried in her pockets, and her eyes were fixed on the ground the whole time. She walked through the city until she came to the edge of a forest, and walked into it. It was a solitary place. No one enjoyed going there because of its eerie quietness and dark chill. But the best part about this forest was the lake hidden deep within it. She knew all about this lake only too well, it was one of her favorite places to hang out at.
She sighed and looked up into the night sky, her hands still in her pockets. It took her moments to realize that something was wrong. What she thought was a star, had come falling down straight towards her. She panicked, and before she could get out of its way, it rushed down at her and disappeared into her body. She screamed in pain and fell to the ground. There was a strange sensation spreading throughout her body.
"What the hell is going on?" she yelled, and passed out.
=============================================================
"So you just found her like this?" Kurama asked.
"Yes. This is the ice demon I was telling you about. I don't know what happened to her." Hiei answered, as he looked down at her limp body. When he found her, she was unconscious and barely breathing.
"I wonder who this girl is." Kurama pondered.
"She says she's been living in this city ever since she could remember."
"It doesn't matter, she still could be one of them." Kurama said with seriousness in his voice. Hiei nodded. He knew what Kurama was talking about.
"I have been suspicious about her. I'm still not sure if I want to trust her or not." Hiei said in his monotone voice.
"Well, she also does seem innocent enough. We'll just get her to tell us more about herself when she wakes up. And you will be able to tell whether or not she is lying." Kurama glanced at the white band that covered up Hiei's Jagan eye.
"Indeed."
Much later, the girl finally began showing signs of consciousness. She began to stir, and slowly open up her eyes. She looked all around, and the first person she was Hiei.
"Where....am I?" She asked, a little deliriously. She hadn't quite regained her eyesight yet, but when she did, she bolted straight up, which didn't seem to suit to well with her body.
"Aaagh, shit!" She doubled over in pain. Hiei got her to lie back down.
"Don't be foolish, you're obviously hurt. So stay in bed."
"Its you!" Remarked the girl, finally realizing that the person she saw when she first woke up was Hiei.
"Glad you noticed."
"Tell me who you are. And where am I?"
"Why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself first." Hiei said, while seating himself in a chair and crossing his arms.
"Umm, all right. But didn't we go over this before?"
"You are an ice demon. And that's one reason for me to want to kill you."
At hearing that, the girl bolted out of her bed and began shouting, "You ass hole! I knew I shouldn't have told you anything! You work for the cops, don't you?"
She didn't wait for him to answer, and tried to make straight for the door. But her body was still too weak and she fell straight to the floor.
"What the hell is wrong with me?!"
Hiei began to approach her, and try and help her, but she kicked him away from her.
"Stay away from me!"
Then Kurama stepped in.
"Miss, he's not trying to hurt you." Kurama began, in a polite and assuring voice, "Whenever he meets someone new, he always threatens to kill them. Its just his way of expressing that its nice to meet you." Kurama hoped that she would believe that. "Now, we don't work for the police. We just want to help you. So please trust us." He picked her up from the floor and placed her on the couch again. She was a lot more calm after Kurama had spoken to her, and she felt like she could trust him.
"I just don't know what's wrong with me," the girl began, "Something strange happened to me last night."
"Just tell us everything. Starting from the beginning." Hiei demanded.
"There's not anything exciting about my life story. I've been an orphan ever since I was born. At least, I think I have been."
"So you don't have any family?" Kurama asked. He was standing up, about a couple feet away from her. He had one hand in his pocket, and the other one stroking his chin, as if he was concentrating hard on some thought.
"No." the girl answered.
"I see. And how old are you?"
"Eighteen."
He gave her a stern look, and didn't even need Hiei's word for it that she was lying.
"Miss, what is your actual age?"
"Sixteen..." she sighed, and put her face in her hands.
"That's quite young."
"Please don't turn me in, I can't bare that place. An orphanage is like hell on a-"
"Don't worry. We have no intention in doing that."
"Good." She looked relieved. "So, if you guys don't mind, what are your names?"
"I'm Kurama, he's Hiei. And you are?"
"I'm Kya. Its nice to meet you both."
"Same goes with us." Kurama smiled. Hiei rolled his eyes.
"So what do you guys do?"
"We study demons." He lied.
"Oh I see. That's why Hiei was so curious about me. So are you guys going to study me or something?"
"Well, if you don't mind." Kurama flaked. They had no intention in studying her, they needed her.
"Its fine," she yawned. "But I'm tired now."
"No problem, just get your rest. I have to get going now anyway. Hiei, watch over her okay?"
Hiei didn't say anything, but sat down in a chair a foot away from Kya to show that he confirmed.
Kurama then left, and for a while it was silent. Until Kya spoke up.
"So do you guys really just study demons?" Kya asked with suspicion, "How could you make money off of that?"
"Its none of your business."
"Is there something wrong with you? Why are you so mean?"
"Don't ever ask me that again. Now get some sleep. I hate babysitting."
"Fine, whatever." She said, and closed her eyes. Within moments she had fallen asleep. But while she was asleep, she tossed and turned, and was still in a great amount of pain. Hiei stayed by her side and used some healing methods on her, but they didn't seem to be working very effectively. Then Kya suddenly woke up.
"I can't...take this..." she said while getting up, but immediately fell into Hiei's arms. "....anymore." She finished.
Hiei swallowed hard. She really was in bad condition.
"What's wrong with me?"
"Don't know. Just try to relax." Hiei didn't know what to do. "Where the hell is Kurama when you need him?" He placed Kya back down onto the couch, and got her comfortable, then went into the other room to try and contact Kurama.
But when he came back into the room, Kya was gone.
"Damn that girl...."
=============================================================
That's it, hope you liked it. I know it got a little iffy at the end, but it was the best that I could do.
I'm having problems with this story though. I'm trying to get the html into it, but whatever I do just won't work. If anyone know's how to make the html work, can you please tell me? I would really appreciate it!
