Lizzie:Hey,again!You guys ready for chapter 2?
Hiei:NO!!!!
Yusuke:Anything that Hiei doesn't want,I do want!
Lizzie:I wanna dedicate this whole story to my friends,whose nicknames(not on FF.net) are:Hermione,Frizzie,and Kitsune.They are my best friends in the entire universe.Without Frizzie,you wouldn't even be reading this fic.
Disclaimer:I have never,nor will I ever own YYH.Nor do I own Pokemon.I just own copies of the games.I do not own Zelda,either.
Lizzie:Just a reminder-this takes place 3 years after the last one ended.And I came up with the name 'Great' from the first Pokemon game I ever played.I chose Charmander and named it 'Great'.I got him up to level 100!And I didn't cheat very much.I only used about 10 special candies,which make your pokemon gain a level.

In Lizzie's room the next morning..........((Author's POV))
Lizzie woke up but kept her eyes closed.There was something near her that was warm and comforting.She didn't want it to leave by her opening her eyes.She had to know what it was so she opened her left eye and saw the bare chest of a male.Her gaze moved down and rested on one of the arms that was around her.It was bandaged from the bottom of the fingers to the elbow joint.She now knew who it was.Lizzie closed her eye and put her arms around his neck.
She felt his arms tighten around her and pull her closer.His gentle heartbeat was comforting along with the warmth from his body.Her head was laying just over his heart,so Lizzie could hear the beat well.She didn't want him to leave,so she slowed her breath.She had to see him again,so she opened her eyes and looked up at him.Their eyes met,and his eyes widened.He hadn't wanted her to see him.
"Lizzie-san.......I-I.....I am sorry.......I meant to leave before you woke.I came to see you last night,but you were asleep.I heard you moan so I laid next to you.I thought it might comfort you if you heard my heartbeat.I will leave you be........"Hiei let go of Lizzie and sat up,removing her arms from his neck.Lizzie sat up and slid her arms around him agian."Lizzie-san?"
"Hiei-san,don't go........I've wanted to see you again.Please,stay here.Please?"She laid her head back on his chest,letting his gentle heartbeat fill her body.Hiei put his arms around her back again.He rested his head on hers and kissed the top of her head.
"Why?Why do you want me to stay,Lizzie-san?I thought you would hate me after I left you........"He laid down,laying her down with him.
"Hiei-san,I could never hate you.I want you to stay because you make me feel good.I feel great with you near me.Please stay with me........"She snuggled closer to him,but he pulled away from her.Hiei sat up and slid off of the bed.He put his shirt on and headed toward the door."Hiei-san......"She began to cry,crying into her pillow.Hiei stopped in his tracks.Lizzie hadn't meant to make him stop,but she needed to cry.He turned around and went back towards Lizzie.He pulled her into a sitting position and leaned her on his clothed chest.
"Lizzie-san,I must go.Youkai are still after me.I just came to you as a small birthday present.However,I sware that I will come back as soon as I can.I must go now.I will be back.Goodbye for right now,Lizzie-san."He kissed her lips sweetly.He kissed her with every ounce of love and strength he had.Lizzie kissed him back,just as sweetly,with every ounce of love and strength she had.Little did the two of them know that they were being watched the whole time,by none other than Botan.She had her camera and had snapped some quick pictures.
Lizzie drew back from Hiei and looked him in the eyes."Goodbye for now,Hiei-san.I understand that you must leave.But first,promise me,next time you see Yukina-chan you will tell her you are her brother?"Hiei nodded and Lizzie smiled.With that,Hiei left unseen.Lizzie laid back down and saw the photo album laying open on the table next to her.She reached over and pulled it in front of her.It was the picture of her and Hiei's last kiss in America.She grinned and flipped to another page.
"Lizzie-san?Are you awake?"Yukina came into the room and sat next to Lizzie on the bed.Lizzie smiled at Yukina and she was taken aback."You are smiling?What is wrong with you?"Yukina touched Lizzie's head to see if she was warm.
"Yukina-chan,I am fine!I just am feeling better today than I was yesterday.Here,look at this picture."She pointed to a picture of she and Hiei at Caitilin's dance.They were out in the sunflower garden,holding onto each other,sharing a kiss.Yukina awed."That was when Hiei said that Youkai were after him and he had to leave me.I threw every excuse at him that I could think of."
"Obviously,it didn't work,did it?"Yukina flipped a few pages back."Oh!That's when Hiei-san first told you he loved you!"She pointed to the picture and her face brightened."Lizzie-san,Keiko and Botan-san spoke to me the other day.They said they were going shopping today for a party.I am going with them.Why don't you come?It would be wonderful!"Lizzie looked down at the album and blushed.
"Well,if it's all the same to you,I think I'd rather stay here.I don't feel well"She squirmed uncomfortably.She hated lying to Yukina.She gave Lizzie a sly look and Lizzie burst out the truth."I saw Hiei-san a few minutes ago!He came last night to see me and he said he heard me moaning.So he took off his shirt and laid down next to me.I woke with him laying next to me.His heartbeat must have calmed me down.He said he would be back soon.I don't want to miss him."
"Then I will stay with you,Lizzie-san.I want to see Hiei-san as well."She smiled and moved closer to Lizzie like a younger sister would."Lizzie-san,do you think I will ever find my brother?I mean to say,what if he is dead?"
"Yukina-chan,just call me Lizzie.And You have met your brother.I am not supposed to be telling you this,but I know who your brother is."She sensed Yukina tensen in anxiety."He is going to come here soon.I spoke to him not long ago and he promised that he would tell you next time he saw you."She looked at the fragile,smiling ice apparition.
"Oh,I just know Kazuma will love him!I just know it!"She giggled and flipped some pages in the photo album."Look,when was that picture?"It was a picture of Lizzie as a small girl with green hair.She was playing in a stream with her older brother,who just so happened to have entered the room."Who is that little girl with the forest hair?"
"That is ona-chan((I think that means sister,I'm not positive)) as a small child.You see,when Lizzie was small,she would play a video game called 'Zelda'.There was an immortal girl with green hair.She thought that she would become immortal if she dyed her hair green."Kumane sat down next to Yukina."Believe it or not,Lizzie's hair is naturally golden-blonde."
Lizzie's cheeks turned pale and she closed the album.Now it was painful to think of Hiei.Yukina touched Lizzie's hand gently."Lizzie-sa-,I mean,Lizzie.......Are you alright?Is the thought of Hiei paining you?"Lizzie nodded and fingered her new locket."Will you tell me who my brother is?Please?"She was changing the subject so Lizzie felt better.Lizzie shook her head and stood up.
Lizzie took her cape off and hung it on a hook.She walked over to her closet,pulling off her shirt,and pulled out a black and red kimono.She slid out of her pants and put on her kimono.She didn't mind changing in front of her brother or in front of other girls.Kumane rolled his eyes at his baby sister.
"Lizzie,tell her who her brother is.I would,but I don't know."He had a tone of authority in his voice,but it didn't work.Lizzie fastened the sash on her kimono and put on some blood red pants that matched perfectly with her kimono.She undid her hair from the bun it was in.Her hair went well past the tips of her fingers.She stared at herself in the mirror and frowned in self-disgust."Lizzie!You look just fine!If Hiei could see you,he would say that you look absolutely beautiful."
"Yes,I am sure Hiei-san would say you look absolutely lovely."Yukina smiled."I am positive he would say you are the most lovely being in the world."Lizzie turned paler at this comment.She began brushing out her hair and praying Kumane would leave so that she could talk to Yukina alone.Kumane came over to Lizzie,carrying a small present.
He set the present on the vanity in front of her."Here.I want you to have this.It's a birthday present since I was gone most of yesterday.Happy birthday.Open it."Lizzie stared at it,still brushing her long hair.She had to obey her brother,but she didn't want to open it.Kumane pushed it closer to her."Please,open it."
"F-fine."Lizzie put down her brush and took the present.She unwrapped it and found an elaborate hair clip.It had a black dragon with small red rubies for eyes.There was a ruby rose in the dragon's opened mouth."K-kousou......((D-damn......))It's beautiful......Where did you get it?"She looked up at her brother.
"It's a family heirloom.Hac gave it to me when you were at Caitilin's middle school dance 3 years ago.He said it would bring good luck to those who wore it."He smiled and patted his sister's shoulder."I'll leave you to talk to Yukina."He left the room.Yukina came over to Lizzie and helped her brush out her hair.
"Lizzie,you are beautiful.Why do you frown at yourself?"She smiled at Lizzie gently.
Lizzie picked up her brush and brushed the other side of her hair."Because I am hideous,not beautiful.You and Keiko and Botan-san are beautiful,Yukina-chan."She put down her brush and took the other brush from Yukina.She went over to her bed and sat down."I will tell you who your brother is if you sware that when he tells you,you will keep it secret and act surprised.Alright?"Yukina nodded."Okay.I'll tell you in the forest,just let me tie up my hair."
She took some of her hair and twisted it,then spun it around the remainder of her hair so that her ponytail was coming out of a knot.She fastened it with a safety pin and clipped the heirloom in her hair.Yukina smiled and went over to the door with Lizzie,both grabbing their coats.They headed out into the forest.There was a fresh blanket of snow on the ground.They sat down under a large oak tree.Yukina waited patiently for Lizzie to tell her who her brother was.
"Well,remember,you promised that you would act surprised when he told you,correct?"Yukina nodded."Well,you met him when you were rescued from the Black Market dealers.You saw him again during the Dark Tournament."She smiled at Yukina,whose eyes were widening."He has always been protective of you when Kuwahara is around.Can you guess from here,or do you need more hints?"Yukina closed her eyes in thought.
"He helped rescue me,he was in the Dark Tournament,he has been protective of me when I am around Kazuma is near."She opened her eyes and looked at Lizzie."Can you give me another hint?"
"Well,......let's see......Your brother......Oh!Your brother is-"She got cut off.
"Right behind you."Yukina jumped and looked around.There he was.Hiei.Standing right behind Yukina,smiling.He sat down next to her and took out a necklace from under his shirt.It had a small blue ball on the end.
"One of my tear gems!You must be him then!Onii-chan!((Brother!))"She thrust her arms around Hiei's neck."Onii-chan!!Hiei-san!I was hoping my brother would be like you,but this is almost too good to be true!"Hiei put his arms around her back,comfortingly.
"I am sorry for not telling you,but I was afraid you would hate me.I was also afraid the Youkai that were after me would hurt you.I am very sorry.Gomen nasi.((I am verry sorry.))"He laid his head on his sister's."I wish I hadn't put you in such misery."Yukina broke away from Hiei and looked at Lizzie,then back to her brother.
"I will leave the two of you alone."She stood and went back to Genkai's temple.
Hiei looked at Lizzie,then at the ground.He hated himself for leaving her the way he did,but she couldn't hate him.She still loved him with her whole heart,just as she had promised.He drew in the dirt with his finger.She smiled and moved closer to him,making him look up at her.Their eyes met and locked.Hiei slipped one hand behind her neck and one on her right cheek.She put her arms around his neck.Their eyes closed and their lips locked.His mouth opened,forcing hers open,then his tongue traced her lower lip.He drew away and looked at her.
Lizzie opened her eyes and looked up at her sweet Hiei.He returned the gaze with an apologetic look.She understood it as an apology for the kiss.She nodded and laid her head on his chest."Hiei-san.Oh,Hiei-san,I love you......I knew you would come back."She kept her arms locked around his neck.He hands down to her waist.
"Lizzie-san,please let go.You shouldn't be near me.I just was in the forest and heard you and Yukina-chan.Lizzie-san,I must go again.I am.......Gomen nasi.......Gomen....."He stood up,but she didn't let go.She stood with him and kept her arms locked around his neck."Nani?((What?))Are you alright?"
"I am fine.....Just don't go again......Come with me to Genkai's temple......There is something I want to show you......"Lizzie stood on Hiei's toes.She did this to show her affection to him.He took her in his arms and held her tightly.Botan was,again,spying on them.She couldn't help but awe when she saw them.Hiei started and turned to see who it was.When he saw Botan,he growled,making Botan come out of the bushes.
"Sorry!I just had to see it!The two of you are so cute together!"She grinned and flashed a peace sign."I saw your kiss.It was kawaii!When are you going to get married?"The couple sat down,as did Botan.
Hiei shifted Lizzie into his lap and pecked her cheek."It is upto Lizzie as soon as I can get these Youkai to stop trailing me."He laid her head on his chest and kissed her forehead.She blushed but didn't move."Ferry Girl,swear that you won't tell anyone about me being back just yet.They all must be mad at me,already.If they find out I am back and haven't said word to any of them,they will be furious."Botan nodded and Hiei turned his attention back to Lizzie.He had a pleading look in his eyes.
"Nani,Hiei-san?Are you alright?What do you need?"She heard his gentle heartbeat and remembered that morning.She smiled.
"I am fine.I do need to leave,though.Give me a fortnight to finish them off.If I can't get rid of them by then,I will come back permanently.I sware I will.Alright?"Lizzie nodded."I love your hair clip."Hiei leaned his head closer to hers.
"Hiei-san......"She closed her eyes and so did Hiei.Their lips locked again,despite the fact that Botan was still there.She grinned and snapped another picture.Hiei and Lizzie fell into laying positions and rolled over so that Hiei was on top of Lizzie.He drew away from her and disappeared.Lizzie sat up and looked at the giggling Botan."Oh no!I forgot you were here!You won't tell anyone about this,will you?"
"No!But I do have a few more pictures for your album.Here!"She handed Lizzie a stack of pictures that was about 3 inches thick.Lizzie's eyes got wide."I know I overdid it,but I saw you and Hiei this morning.You know,when you woke up.Oooo!!Here's one were bare-chested Hiei-"Lizzie laughed."-is kissing the top of your head!"Lizzie grinned.
"Yeah.......But why did you have to take a picture of Hiei and I laying down,him without his shirt on.Since you took it from behind him,it looks like neither of us are even clothed!"She was right.It did look like they were unclothed.Botan smiled,as did Lizzie."Awe,man!You just love embarrassing me!"
"Yeah!Oh oh!Look at this one!"She held out a picture of the kiss Lizzie and Hiei had just shared.Lizzie was on the ground and Hiei on top of her.Lizzie blushed as she stared at it.Botan then found the picture of their first kiss with slight tongue action,they one they had shared just after Yukina left."Look!!"Lizzie blushed more and drew in the dirt.
"Promise not to show either of those to my onii-chan?He would kill me!"She pleaded.Botan nodded and Lizzie leaned back onto the trunk of a tree."Onii-chan will be furious when he finds out that Hiei began to,what's the word......?Oh!Yes.....When he finds out Hiei began to 'frenchie' me......"Botan nodded again.
"You're right.Kumane would be absolutely furious if he found out that Hiei frenchied you.......It would scar his heart......"Botan sighed.Lizzie looked up at the almost non-visible sky.
"There is no one who does not carry scars on his heart.If there was someone in the world like that, he would be a shallow bastard."She closed her eyes.She could almost hear Hiei saying that.As a matter-of-fact,she could.So could Botan.
"There is no one who does not carry scars on his heart.If there was someone in the world like that, he would be a shallow soul.Not bastard."Hiei jumped down next to the girls and kneeled next to Lizzie.He sensed something wrong with her,something she wouldn't admitt to.He knew that the Youkai after him would think twice about attacking him near Lizzie.She was a very dangerous Hanyou.She looked into his eyes and put her arms around his neck."Lizzie-san,are you alright?"
"Hiei-san,why did you come back so soon?"She moved into his lap and stared at him.Hiei gently rubbed her back to sooth her and show his affection.
"I had to come back to you.I don't care;I won't leave you again.I absolutely love you,Lizzie-san.Now,are you alright?"He looked over Lizzie's head at Botan and,amazingly,smiled at her.Lizzie didn't answer.He just waited patiently for her to answer.He could sense something wrong with her and was trying hard to figure it out.
"I'm fine,Hiei-san.Just fine."She nuzzled his neck and smiled.Kurama came up behind Botan.
"I thought I sensed a strange heat coming from this forest considering the amount of snow that came last night."He sensed something wrong as well and looked at Lizzie,concerned."Are you alright,Lizzie?"Botan looked at the Hanyou,concerned.If both Kurama and Hiei were worrying over her,something must be wrong.
"Are you alright,Lizzie?"her amethyst eyes looked sad and worried.
"I am fine.Really."Lizzie moved her head to be just over Hiei's heart and heard the soft beat of it.Hiei pulled her close to him and closed his eyes,laying his head on hers.Hiei opened a mind-link with Kurama.
~"Kitsune,do you sense it as well?"~
~"Not that it is any of your concern considering you couldn't even keep in touch for 3 years,but yes.I sense it as well."~
~"Gomen nasi!I was trying to keep any of you from being injured."~
~"You could have sent word that you were alive sooner!"~
~"You are correct.I could have and should have.I will make it up to you,but what do you think is wrong with her?"~
~"I don't know......Let's take her back to Genkai's.She may just need more rest."~
~"Yes......Let's go....."~Hiei picked Lizzie up and headed towards Genkai's temple,Kurama and Botan following.
Hiei kept letting out small bits of his aura to warm Lizzie.She would shiver every now and then.Botan looked at Hiei and,hesitantly,put a comforting hand on his shoulder."She will be alright,Hiei.I know she will."He didn't look up,or give any sign of acknowledgement.He was too worried about Lizzie to notice much else."Hiei,are you alright?"
"Nani?Oh,I am fine.I am just worried about Lizzie-sama......"He looked at Botan and she saw his eyes were red from crying.Kurama and Botan exchanged glances,then looked back at Hiei.
"What did you say?"They were awed.Hiei blushed and looked back down at his Lizzie."C'mon!What did you say?"
"I.....I said 'Lizzie-sama'......"(('sama' is a way of saying Lord or Lady in Japanese or a way of showing affection))He let more tears leak out of his eyes,not knowing that Lizzie was still awake.
"Hiei-san?Are you alright?I-......I mean,you called me 'sama'."She put one of her hands on the back of his head.Hiei jumped at the sound of Lizzie's voice.His cheeks went suddenly pale."Hiei-san,where are you taking me?"She knew Hiei was uncomfortable with her knowing he cared for her that much,so she changed the subject.
"I am fine.I am taking you back to Genkai's temple."As he said this,they walked onto the temple grounds.
Genkai saw Lizzie being carried and immediately ran over to see what was wrong with her."Lizzie?!"Hiei looked up to see who was looking for his girl.When he saw Genkai,his guard relaxed."Kurama,what is wrong with her?"Genkai looked at Kurama.
"You know,Genkai-san,I am awake."Lizzie smiled and tried to slide out of Hiei's arms,but didn't suceed."I am fine.I don't even know why they brought me here."Genkai looked at Lizzie and seemed to be less worried.Her gaze moved to Hiei and her eyes narrowed.
"And what are you doing here?"She siganled Kurama to take Lizzie from Hiei's arms,which he did.Hiei reached out to Lizzie,but Genkai stopped him from touching her.He looked distressed."I repeat:WHAT are you doing here?"She eyed Hiei suspiciously,but he hadn't heard.He was watching Kurama take Lizzie away.Botan answered for him.
"He had come to see Lizzie and sensed something wrong with her so he brought her here."She pulled out a picture she had taken a minute ago of Hiei crying and carrying the pale Lizzie."Here's proof that he still loves her!"She showed Genkai the picture.
"I suppose it does look like that......But I still am unconvinced.I worry for Lizzie that perhaps this has all been some sort of a scam......"She narrowed her eyes.Hiei sat down and rested his head on his legs.He had let Lizzie down.He had broken his promise that he would always be there......He had promised......Now,he had let her down................
______________________________________________________________________
Lizzie:Ah!The end of another chapter!I will try to keep them all in character,but 2 of them will be OOC.Of course,Hiei will be when he enters the story.And for those of you who have read the other one and love Lizzie's hyperactive and a little insane personality,I hope you didn't get too use to it.
Yin:Yeah,in this story,Lizzie is more of a goth-type person.She wears nothing but black and blood red,she smiles very seldomly,she starts to think what Kurama said about Hiei not loving her is true,and she is also going to undergo a terrible expierience that will change her life forever.
Ash:Yup!And does anyone know who this mysterious person who is comforting Lizzie is?
Yukina:Please read and review,or R&R,and send and thoughts or suggestions.Have a wonderful day!
Lizzie:Adios!
Hiei:NO!!!!
Yusuke:Anything that Hiei doesn't want,I do want!
Lizzie:I wanna dedicate this whole story to my friends,whose nicknames(not on FF.net) are:Hermione,Frizzie,and Kitsune.They are my best friends in the entire universe.Without Frizzie,you wouldn't even be reading this fic.

"F-fine."Lizzie put down her brush and took the present.She unwrapped it and found an elaborate hair clip.It had a black dragon with small red rubies for eyes.There was a ruby rose in the dragon's opened mouth."K-kousou......((D-damn......))It's beautiful......Where did you get it?"She looked up at her brother.
"It's a family heirloom.Hac gave it to me when you were at Caitilin's middle school dance 3 years ago.He said it would bring good luck to those who wore it."He smiled and patted his sister's shoulder."I'll leave you to talk to Yukina."He left the room.Yukina came over to Lizzie and helped her brush out her hair.
"Lizzie,you are beautiful.Why do you frown at yourself?"She smiled at Lizzie gently.
Lizzie picked up her brush and brushed the other side of her hair."Because I am hideous,not beautiful.You and Keiko and Botan-san are beautiful,Yukina-chan."She put down her brush and took the other brush from Yukina.She went over to her bed and sat down."I will tell you who your brother is if you sware that when he tells you,you will keep it secret and act surprised.Alright?"Yukina nodded."Okay.I'll tell you in the forest,just let me tie up my hair."
She took some of her hair and twisted it,then spun it around the remainder of her hair so that her ponytail was coming out of a knot.She fastened it with a safety pin and clipped the heirloom in her hair.Yukina smiled and went over to the door with Lizzie,both grabbing their coats.They headed out into the forest.There was a fresh blanket of snow on the ground.They sat down under a large oak tree.Yukina waited patiently for Lizzie to tell her who her brother was.
"Well,remember,you promised that you would act surprised when he told you,correct?"Yukina nodded."Well,you met him when you were rescued from the Black Market dealers.You saw him again during the Dark Tournament."She smiled at Yukina,whose eyes were widening."He has always been protective of you when Kuwahara is around.Can you guess from here,or do you need more hints?"Yukina closed her eyes in thought.
"He helped rescue me,he was in the Dark Tournament,he has been protective of me when I am around Kazuma is near."She opened her eyes and looked at Lizzie."Can you give me another hint?"
"Well,......let's see......Your brother......Oh!Your brother is-"She got cut off.
"Right behind you."Yukina jumped and looked around.There he was.Hiei.Standing right behind Yukina,smiling.He sat down next to her and took out a necklace from under his shirt.It had a small blue ball on the end.
"One of my tear gems!You must be him then!Onii-chan!((Brother!))"She thrust her arms around Hiei's neck."Onii-chan!!Hiei-san!I was hoping my brother would be like you,but this is almost too good to be true!"Hiei put his arms around her back,comfortingly.
"I am sorry for not telling you,but I was afraid you would hate me.I was also afraid the Youkai that were after me would hurt you.I am very sorry.Gomen nasi.((I am verry sorry.))"He laid his head on his sister's."I wish I hadn't put you in such misery."Yukina broke away from Hiei and looked at Lizzie,then back to her brother.
"I will leave the two of you alone."She stood and went back to Genkai's temple.
Hiei looked at Lizzie,then at the ground.He hated himself for leaving her the way he did,but she couldn't hate him.She still loved him with her whole heart,just as she had promised.He drew in the dirt with his finger.She smiled and moved closer to him,making him look up at her.Their eyes met and locked.Hiei slipped one hand behind her neck and one on her right cheek.She put her arms around his neck.Their eyes closed and their lips locked.His mouth opened,forcing hers open,then his tongue traced her lower lip.He drew away and looked at her.
Lizzie opened her eyes and looked up at her sweet Hiei.He returned the gaze with an apologetic look.She understood it as an apology for the kiss.She nodded and laid her head on his chest."Hiei-san.Oh,Hiei-san,I love you......I knew you would come back."She kept her arms locked around his neck.He hands down to her waist.
"Lizzie-san,please let go.You shouldn't be near me.I just was in the forest and heard you and Yukina-chan.Lizzie-san,I must go again.I am.......Gomen nasi.......Gomen....."He stood up,but she didn't let go.She stood with him and kept her arms locked around his neck."Nani?((What?))Are you alright?"
"I am fine.....Just don't go again......Come with me to Genkai's temple......There is something I want to show you......"Lizzie stood on Hiei's toes.She did this to show her affection to him.He took her in his arms and held her tightly.Botan was,again,spying on them.She couldn't help but awe when she saw them.Hiei started and turned to see who it was.When he saw Botan,he growled,making Botan come out of the bushes.
"Sorry!I just had to see it!The two of you are so cute together!"She grinned and flashed a peace sign."I saw your kiss.It was kawaii!When are you going to get married?"The couple sat down,as did Botan.
Hiei shifted Lizzie into his lap and pecked her cheek."It is upto Lizzie as soon as I can get these Youkai to stop trailing me."He laid her head on his chest and kissed her forehead.She blushed but didn't move."Ferry Girl,swear that you won't tell anyone about me being back just yet.They all must be mad at me,already.If they find out I am back and haven't said word to any of them,they will be furious."Botan nodded and Hiei turned his attention back to Lizzie.He had a pleading look in his eyes.
"Nani,Hiei-san?Are you alright?What do you need?"She heard his gentle heartbeat and remembered that morning.She smiled.
"I am fine.I do need to leave,though.Give me a fortnight to finish them off.If I can't get rid of them by then,I will come back permanently.I sware I will.Alright?"Lizzie nodded."I love your hair clip."Hiei leaned his head closer to hers.
"Hiei-san......"She closed her eyes and so did Hiei.Their lips locked again,despite the fact that Botan was still there.She grinned and snapped another picture.Hiei and Lizzie fell into laying positions and rolled over so that Hiei was on top of Lizzie.He drew away from her and disappeared.Lizzie sat up and looked at the giggling Botan."Oh no!I forgot you were here!You won't tell anyone about this,will you?"
"No!But I do have a few more pictures for your album.Here!"She handed Lizzie a stack of pictures that was about 3 inches thick.Lizzie's eyes got wide."I know I overdid it,but I saw you and Hiei this morning.You know,when you woke up.Oooo!!Here's one were bare-chested Hiei-"Lizzie laughed."-is kissing the top of your head!"Lizzie grinned.
"Yeah.......But why did you have to take a picture of Hiei and I laying down,him without his shirt on.Since you took it from behind him,it looks like neither of us are even clothed!"She was right.It did look like they were unclothed.Botan smiled,as did Lizzie."Awe,man!You just love embarrassing me!"
"Yeah!Oh oh!Look at this one!"She held out a picture of the kiss Lizzie and Hiei had just shared.Lizzie was on the ground and Hiei on top of her.Lizzie blushed as she stared at it.Botan then found the picture of their first kiss with slight tongue action,they one they had shared just after Yukina left."Look!!"Lizzie blushed more and drew in the dirt.
"Promise not to show either of those to my onii-chan?He would kill me!"She pleaded.Botan nodded and Lizzie leaned back onto the trunk of a tree."Onii-chan will be furious when he finds out that Hiei began to,what's the word......?Oh!Yes.....When he finds out Hiei began to 'frenchie' me......"Botan nodded again.
"You're right.Kumane would be absolutely furious if he found out that Hiei frenchied you.......It would scar his heart......"Botan sighed.Lizzie looked up at the almost non-visible sky.
"There is no one who does not carry scars on his heart.If there was someone in the world like that, he would be a shallow bastard."She closed her eyes.She could almost hear Hiei saying that.As a matter-of-fact,she could.So could Botan.
"There is no one who does not carry scars on his heart.If there was someone in the world like that, he would be a shallow soul.Not bastard."Hiei jumped down next to the girls and kneeled next to Lizzie.He sensed something wrong with her,something she wouldn't admitt to.He knew that the Youkai after him would think twice about attacking him near Lizzie.She was a very dangerous Hanyou.She looked into his eyes and put her arms around his neck."Lizzie-san,are you alright?"
"Hiei-san,why did you come back so soon?"She moved into his lap and stared at him.Hiei gently rubbed her back to sooth her and show his affection.
"I had to come back to you.I don't care;I won't leave you again.I absolutely love you,Lizzie-san.Now,are you alright?"He looked over Lizzie's head at Botan and,amazingly,smiled at her.Lizzie didn't answer.He just waited patiently for her to answer.He could sense something wrong with her and was trying hard to figure it out.
"I'm fine,Hiei-san.Just fine."She nuzzled his neck and smiled.Kurama came up behind Botan.
"I thought I sensed a strange heat coming from this forest considering the amount of snow that came last night."He sensed something wrong as well and looked at Lizzie,concerned."Are you alright,Lizzie?"Botan looked at the Hanyou,concerned.If both Kurama and Hiei were worrying over her,something must be wrong.
"Are you alright,Lizzie?"her amethyst eyes looked sad and worried.
"I am fine.Really."Lizzie moved her head to be just over Hiei's heart and heard the soft beat of it.Hiei pulled her close to him and closed his eyes,laying his head on hers.Hiei opened a mind-link with Kurama.
~"Kitsune,do you sense it as well?"~
~"Not that it is any of your concern considering you couldn't even keep in touch for 3 years,but yes.I sense it as well."~
~"Gomen nasi!I was trying to keep any of you from being injured."~
~"You could have sent word that you were alive sooner!"~
~"You are correct.I could have and should have.I will make it up to you,but what do you think is wrong with her?"~
~"I don't know......Let's take her back to Genkai's.She may just need more rest."~
~"Yes......Let's go....."~Hiei picked Lizzie up and headed towards Genkai's temple,Kurama and Botan following.
Hiei kept letting out small bits of his aura to warm Lizzie.She would shiver every now and then.Botan looked at Hiei and,hesitantly,put a comforting hand on his shoulder."She will be alright,Hiei.I know she will."He didn't look up,or give any sign of acknowledgement.He was too worried about Lizzie to notice much else."Hiei,are you alright?"
"Nani?Oh,I am fine.I am just worried about Lizzie-sama......"He looked at Botan and she saw his eyes were red from crying.Kurama and Botan exchanged glances,then looked back at Hiei.
"What did you say?"They were awed.Hiei blushed and looked back down at his Lizzie."C'mon!What did you say?"
"I.....I said 'Lizzie-sama'......"(('sama' is a way of saying Lord or Lady in Japanese or a way of showing affection))He let more tears leak out of his eyes,not knowing that Lizzie was still awake.
"Hiei-san?Are you alright?I-......I mean,you called me 'sama'."She put one of her hands on the back of his head.Hiei jumped at the sound of Lizzie's voice.His cheeks went suddenly pale."Hiei-san,where are you taking me?"She knew Hiei was uncomfortable with her knowing he cared for her that much,so she changed the subject.
"I am fine.I am taking you back to Genkai's temple."As he said this,they walked onto the temple grounds.
Genkai saw Lizzie being carried and immediately ran over to see what was wrong with her."Lizzie?!"Hiei looked up to see who was looking for his girl.When he saw Genkai,his guard relaxed."Kurama,what is wrong with her?"Genkai looked at Kurama.
"You know,Genkai-san,I am awake."Lizzie smiled and tried to slide out of Hiei's arms,but didn't suceed."I am fine.I don't even know why they brought me here."Genkai looked at Lizzie and seemed to be less worried.Her gaze moved to Hiei and her eyes narrowed.
"And what are you doing here?"She siganled Kurama to take Lizzie from Hiei's arms,which he did.Hiei reached out to Lizzie,but Genkai stopped him from touching her.He looked distressed."I repeat:WHAT are you doing here?"She eyed Hiei suspiciously,but he hadn't heard.He was watching Kurama take Lizzie away.Botan answered for him.
"He had come to see Lizzie and sensed something wrong with her so he brought her here."She pulled out a picture she had taken a minute ago of Hiei crying and carrying the pale Lizzie."Here's proof that he still loves her!"She showed Genkai the picture.
"I suppose it does look like that......But I still am unconvinced.I worry for Lizzie that perhaps this has all been some sort of a scam......"She narrowed her eyes.Hiei sat down and rested his head on his legs.He had let Lizzie down.He had broken his promise that he would always be there......He had promised......Now,he had let her down................
______________________________________________________________________
Lizzie:Ah!The end of another chapter!I will try to keep them all in character,but 2 of them will be OOC.Of course,Hiei will be when he enters the story.And for those of you who have read the other one and love Lizzie's hyperactive and a little insane personality,I hope you didn't get too use to it.
Yin:Yeah,in this story,Lizzie is more of a goth-type person.She wears nothing but black and blood red,she smiles very seldomly,she starts to think what Kurama said about Hiei not loving her is true,and she is also going to undergo a terrible expierience that will change her life forever.
Ash:Yup!And does anyone know who this mysterious person who is comforting Lizzie is?
Yukina:Please read and review,or R&R,and send and thoughts or suggestions.Have a wonderful day!
Lizzie:Adios!
