Sorry for the long wait, people. This is the last chapter for a bit, I need
to write more of it so I don't hassle myself trying to make a chapter. I'm
really sorry about not updating it. The lack of reviews is killing my
confidence..... =( PRETTY PLEASE REVIEWS I NEED!
Setra stared into her cup, her eyes blank and her mouth a thin line that showed no expression. She had been sitting like this long enough to make me worry, and just as I opened my mouth to ask if she was okay, she said, "I don't get it. I just don't get it." "Don't get what?" Vance asked. He was curled up on the couch with his arms crossed and a sour expression on. He had been like this since I had told them about the dream where Vance melted everything (I had conveniently forgot to tell them about Vance saying 'Goodbye, Youko.'). "Why he would dream like that," She said, frowning. "I mean, I know you don't like him, Vance, but would you kill him?" Vance snorted. "Not unless he had hurt you....." Setra smiled. "And he wouldn't do that, right?" Vance asked, his eyes flashing. "Err...right," I agreed quickly, feeling my cup slip slightly through my now-sweaty fingers. Vance's eyes narrowed and he made a sound in the back of his throat, not unlike the 'hn' Hiei was always making. He got up and strode out of the room, his head bent forward and his eyes flashing as he passed me. I watched him leave, wondering just what was up with him. "I should go," I said suddenly, getting up. "My mother will be worried." Setra, who had opened her mouth to argue that she wanted me to say, shut it and then said, "Oh. Well, see you tomorrow...." I nodded and walked out of the house, shutting the door behind me.
When I got home, I went straight to bed, wondering how I could sleep so much yet be so tired. I began to dream again, but this time is was more of a memory with a few things very twisted. Kuronue was sitting on a bench in a poorly lit room, brushing out his black hair and frowning. When he spoke, his voice echoed faintly, the same way Vance's had. "I don't see what the big deal is," he said, "It's not like I've done anything!" Absently, I nodded and toyed with a strand of my own hair. "Me neither! You did nothing to him....." Kuronue dropped his hand, stood, and began to pace, tossing the brush and catching it. "Soo....Are we going to do it?" He asked finally, turning only his head to look at my, his eyebrows rose. I nodded. "Yes, why not? It was mine...." I paused and stood up, about to say something else. But the world was melting again; I reached out to grab Kuronue, but he melted away with everything else. I thrashed in the darkness, screaming for someone to drag me out of it. Someone obliged, roughly snatching me from oblivion and slamming me onto the floor. I found myself staring up into Hiei's face, a thin line of blood streaking from the corner of his mouth. I sat up, stunned. "Oh! Hiei!" I gasped, reaching out to wipe the blood off Hiei's chin. Amazingly enough, Hiei allowed this, looking slightly worried. "Are you okay, fox? You were screaming and rolled off the bed...." Hiei's voice shook very faintly; I noted it and smiled. "I'm fine; it was just a bad dream....." I ran my fingers through my hair and noted that Hiei was sitting on my lap. "Errrr...." Hiei jumped up, his cheeks slightly pink. "I'll just...go...then....." "No!" I cried, jumping up so fast that Hiei started. "No, please, Hiei, I don't want to be left alone....The dream....." Hiei frowned slightly. "The dream? What dream? Not...." I nodded, wringing my hands. "Yeah, I keep...keep falling into nothingness..." Hiei scowled but took up his position on the dresser. "Okay, fine, I'll stay....." I climbed back into bed, my eyes fixed on Hiei until I began to slide off into sleep.
