Ok, I know it's been a while but I just couldn't get off my lazy ass and do
this. Anyway, I'm finally updating this story after how long? A year? Well,
it's been almost a year but since I've had several people review the last
chapter recently I thought hell, might as well give them what they want. So
here it is. Chapter 11.
Chapter 11
Hiei followed the energy towards its source. Whoever, or whatever, it was, it was very powerful. Its energy level was strong and Hiei knew that it wasn't at its max. That made him worry a bit. As he reached the park, he could see a figure standing beneath his favorite tree. He was tall, draped in a dark cloak. His hair was long, shoulder length, black as night. His eyes were a piercing blue. Though he didn't seem all that strong, his energy level told otherwise.
Hiei jumped and stopped a few feet from him and looked at him. "Who are you?"
The man turned to him slowly and looked at him. "So, you're the one who's been hanging around my Mayline."
Hiei rose at eyebrow at that. "Since when has she belonged to someone?"
The man smirked. "Since I have controlled her."
Hiei frowned. "Control her? How can you control her?"
"I have my ways. I'd stay away from her if I were you," the man said with the smirk still plastered on his face. Hiei knew something wasn't right and that this guy knew something about Mayline that she herself wasn't telling anyone.
"Leave her alone. She belongs to no one, and no one can control her," Hiei said in a dead cold voice. He didn't know why he was doing it. Mayline needed no protection, and he rarely ever gave it. So why now? Why was he so interested in standing up for her?
The man's smirk widened. "Oh, she belongs to someone. She belongs to me. And she'll return to me soon. He escaped me once with her speed and smart attitude, but she'll return." The man laughed, but the laugh soon faded as the man himself faded from sight.
Hiei stood there glaring at the spot the man had stood moments ago. His curiosity was getting the better of him and he quickly headed back to Mayline and Lina's. As he neared the apartment, he could already tell that Mayline was up and about. He landed on the open windowsill and climbed in.
Mayline was indeed already up and had gotten dressed. She turned when she sensed Hiei and raised an eyebrow at him. "You're still sticking around here?"
Hiei just shrugged. "I have nothing better to do."
"O...k then. Right," Mayline said before picking up her bag, which dripped blood. She removed the demon head stored inside before tossing it into the tank with the other heads. It fit right in with all of the faces frozen in mid-scream or fear.
Hiei's curiosity nagged again. "Why do you collect heads?"
"Because I made a vow. I vowed that I would collect the head of every demon I kill until I collect the head of a certain person," Mayline said as she shut the lid to the tank. She then turned to him. "Why do you ask?"
Hiei ignored her question. "I met with someone in the park. I think you might know him."
Mayline raised an eyebrow again. "Oh?" She then sat down on her bed.
Hiei took a seat on her windowsill. "He said that you belonged to him and that he controlled you. Who is he?"
Mayline didn't answer for a moment. "Not sure really." Thought she said one thing, her eyes said another. Hiei could see some fear as well as hate and lust for blood in her strangely colored eyes.
"Liar," Hiei said. "Your eyes betray you. You know who he is." Hiei didn't know why it bothered him so much that she had lied. He didn't understand anything. For now, he'd set it aside and talk with Kurama. He usually had advise for Hiei when it was needed.
Mayline just shrugged and stood. But as she made her way to the door, Hiei used his speed to stand in front of her. He looked down at her, straight in the eyes. "Who is he? What connection does he have with you?"
Mayline glared at him. "I have no reason to tell you anything. Yes, I do have a connection with him and yes I do know him, but that does not mean I must tell you how or why." She then shoved past him going past the living room and moving into the plain room that held the plain white walls and gallons of paint.
Hiei watched her go before quickly leaving through the open window again and heading for Kurama's. His mind was confused with many different unfamiliar feelings and thoughts. Most of which revolved around one person. Mayline. He needed help, or advise, and the only way to find it without taking drastic measures was to go to Kurama. Hiei quickly headed there, hoping to find answers from the redheaded fox.
What's the connection with Mayline and the man? How does she know him? What's wrong with Hiei? The answers to these questions may be answered in the next chapter. Thanks for reviewing. I hope to read more of your reviews. Check out my home page. There you can view poems based off Yu Yu Hakusho and other anime pictures. Also, in the next chapter I'll probably put a fic challenge. Who knows? Thanks again for reviewing!
