Ok, just to let you know right now, this chapter is kinda off. I don't know
a lot about Hiei's past so I'm just making some of this up. Another thing,
I know Hiei never really knew his mother but I'm making it so that he did
so don't flame me. This has been your warning. I'm doing this cause it'll
tie in with the story later on.
Chapter 8
Mayline walked around town for a bit trying to work off a bit of anger. Hiei wasn't telling her something and that really bothered her greatly. She soon found herself in the park. Not long after sitting down in her usual bench, Hiei stumbled into the park coughing violently. Mayline looked at him and started to walk towards him a bit worried. Hiei coughed some more and fell forward.
Mayline's eyes widened and she ran over to Hiei quickly and caught him before he hit the ground. He lay limply in her arms. Mayline glared at him. "Damn it. Nice going moron."
Hiei winced a bit. "S. . .sorry."
Mayline's face softened a bit. She sighed and picked him up. "No use saying that now." Hiei was pale, sweaty, and flushed all at once. Mayline flinted out of the park and to the apartment. "Karen?" The place was empty with a note lying by the answering machine, which was blinking. Mayline sighed and laid Hiei on the couch and covering him with a blanket before picking the note up.
The note read: Dear Mayline
Gone to Tokyo for the weekend. See ya in a few days.
Karen
Mayline shook her head and played the message.
Karen's voice came on. "Change of plans! Yusuke and Kuwabara came with and we're staying for a few weeks! It's so fun here! See ya!"
"Oh. My. God. She is dead meat when she gets back," Mayline said as she glared at the answering machine. If looks could kill, the answering machine would be burned to a crisp.
Mayline looked up when she heard Hiei's breath quicken slightly. She went over to him and felt his forehead. He was burning up. "Damn." Sh then felt his hands. They were clammy. "Frig." Mayline got up quickly and laid another blanket over him. "Real nice job." Hiei merely coughed weakly. Mayline blew some hair out of her eyes. "You're as stubborn as hell Hiei." She then sat down on the floor in front of the couch to watch over him.
Two days later, Mayline woke when the sunlight spilled into her room. She stood up and stretched before getting dressed. She then walked into the living room and looked at Hiei. He hadn't moved much, but he was improving slowly. She shook her head and walked into the kitchen and heated up a bowl of soup. She then got out a bowl, grabbed some soup, and then headed out into the living and sat down on the over stuffed chair. Hiei coughed again a bit weakly
Mayline ate a bit of her soup but stopped after a while when Hiei coughed again. "Damn." Soon, he began to wince in his sleep. Mayline set her bowl down and sat on the couch next to him taking off her headband. "At least I can help you with one thing," Mayline said as her jagan eye opened. She placed a hand on his chest and began to absorb his pain. He closed her eyes and winced slightly. Hiei then calmed a bit. Mayline continued to take in his pain and could feel a headache starting to pound at her. She closed her eyes and put her free hand to her head.
What she didn't see was Hiei's eyes flutter open and look at her. "Mom?"
Mayline looked down at him and shook her head. "No." She then quickly felt his forehead. He was still burning up and his eyes were glazed over.
"Where's papa?" Hiei asked, still thinking Mayline was his mother.
Mayline bit her lip. "Hiei. . ." She knew she couldn't tell him right yet. She'd feel really bad about this, but she had to pose as his mother for now. "I don't know." Hiei began to sit up, but Mayline gently pushed him back down. "Don't sit up."
"But momma," Hiei tried to protest.
"Please."
"But. . ."
"No buts," Mayline said. Hiei smiled a bit and then laid his head on her shoulder. Mayline tensed slightly but then relaxed.
Hiei didn't notice at all as he held her shirt like a small child would a mother and began to fall back asleep. "I had the dream again mommy."
"What dream?" Mayline asked as she wrapped her arms around him.
"The village fire. I saw it again," Hiei said as he closed his eyes.
"It's ok, Hiei," Mayline said as she sat back with him in her lap. Hiei curled up close to her before falling asleep. Mayline sighed and quietly reached into her pocket and pulled out her cell phone. She then dialed a number and waited. Several rings passed before the voice mail came on.
Lina's voice came on. "Sorry, not available. Leave a message. BEEP."
"Damn. Lina, I've got a small problem. Hiei got sick and, well, he thinks I'm his mother. He just woke up and called me mom. He's asleep at the moment and all, but I kinda need your help on what to do if either you or Kurama can help. Call me on my cell phone, not the other phone. Laterz," Mayline said a bit quietly before hanging up and placing the cell back into her pocket.
Hiei then cuddled a bit closer to her still asleep. Mayline sighed and wrapped her arms around him. "I'm sorry Hiei." She then quickly wrapped her blanket around him as he began to shiver. Mayline sighed and leaned her head back on the couch as a tear slipped down her face before solidifying into a black and silver stone the size of a small marble and landing in Hiei's lap. She then fell asleep with Hiei still wrapped in her arms.
Not long after, Mayline awoke to the sound of her cell phone ringing. She quickly took it out and answered it. "Hello?"
"WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA!?" came Lina's angry voice.
Mayline winced slightly and rubbed her ear. "Just shut up and listen ok. You wake Hiei up with your yelling and I'll kill ya."
"Ok, I'm listening," Lina said in a bit calmer voice.
"Good. Hiei got sick somehow and woke up callin my mom," Mayline explained.
"He's delusional."
"Ya think."
"I'd say his temperature is over 105°," Lina said.
Mayline nodded. "Somewhere around there. Yeah."
"Get a damp cloth and lay it on his forehead, then give him some aspirin. That should help," Lina instructed.
"It had best cause I feel bad posing as his mother," Mayline said as she gently set Hiei down on the couch and getting up to get the damp clothe.
"You think you got it bad?"
"Huh? Why? Is there some demon getting in your way?"
"No. Kurama."
"Whaaaaaat?" Mayline heard in the background. That whiney voice must have been Kurama.
"Can it!" Lina yelled at him.
"What's wrong with him?" Mayline asked as she wringed out the cloth before going into the living room.
"He's become delusional as well. The plants are releasing some kind of smoke."
"Oh no! You're still not out?" Mayline asked a bit surprised. She thought they would've been out by now. She gently laid the damn cloth on Hiei's forehead before going back into the bathroom.
"No. Those stupid vines are everywhere!"
"I know. I was the one who helped Hiei put you two in there so I saw them. Oops," Mayline said as she grabbed the aspirin and a glass of water. The last thing she heard was Lina growl before she hung up on Mayline. Mayline sighed before putting her cell away and going over to Hiei, who was still sleeping. She sat down on the couch next to him and gently shook him. "Hiei." Hiei mumbled something before going silent again. Mayline shook him again. "Hiei. Come on, Hiei. I need you to wake up for me."
This time, Hiei opened his eyes and looked at her tiredly. "Hey, you alright?" Mayline asked.
"I'm tired, and cold."
"I know you are. Come on though, sit up for me," Mayline said as she helped him to sit up. She then handed Hiei the aspirin and water. "Here, these will help."
Hiei looked at them and then back up at Mayline. "What are they?"
"Just something that'll make you feel better." Hiei merly handed them back to her before curling back up onto the couch. "Hiei, please take them," Mayline pleaded. Hiei shook his head. "Please, It'll make you not cold anymore." Hiei shook his head again. Mayline sighed and began to compromise. "Will you take them later?" Finally, a nod. "Alright, go back to sleep," Mayline said as she set the aspirin and water onto the table. Hiei nodded again before curling tighter into a ball shivering a bit. Mayline got up and grabbed another blanket and laying it on him. She then curled up onto the floor and fell asleep.
Later that night, Mayline woke to the sound of Hiei whimpering slightly and curling tighter into a ball. Mayline got up and shook him. "Hiei." Tears began to fall from his eyes, solidifying into teargems. Mayline shook him again. "Hiei, wake up!"
"Mommy," Hiei said in his sleep.
Mayline continued to try and shake him awake. "Hiei, please, wake up!" Hiei's eyes then snapped open. "Hiei?"
Hiei turned on his back and looked up at her with some unshed tears. "I saw it again."
"I'm so sorry, Hiei," Mayline said as she whipped the tears away. More tears fell from his eyes as he turned his head and looked away from her. Mayline brushed some of his hair out of his eyes. She could feel that his temperature had decreased. "Good," Mayline said before curling back up on the floor in front of the couch and going back to sleep.
Ok, this chapter was a bit longer than the rest, but I couldn't stop writing this. Yeesh. Anywho, thanks to everyone who is reviewing my story and thank you for reading. The next chapter should be up soon.
