Heart of a Half Demon
By: Star-Goddess-Sunaru

Ch. 4

"Bye, you guys, see ya later," Sunaru said as she exited Yusukei's house. After the fight, they had gone to Yusukei's house. They had talked a little and got to know each other a little better.

'She is a lot like Hiei, quiet and a loner,' Keiko noted, 'but at least she shows emotion. Must be the human half of her.'

Hiei silently followed her out the door, far from forgetting that he was her 'body guard'. Koenma was able to pull some strings and get Sunaru an apartment just a block from Yusukei's.

She lead the way quietly. She acted like he wasn't even there. The city seemed eerily deserted and Sunaru shivered. It was all dark, and the street lamps only lite so much. Sunaru heard something.

She looked back at Hiei. He had heard it too and was unsheathing his sword. They heard it again and strained their eyes to see it. Suddenly, Sunaru saw it. There were about a dozen ninjas dressed in black.

They made a circle around the two, waiting to attack. "Hiei, there are ninjas. Look closely, they're all around us." Hiei saw them. "I'll tell you when to start fighting." Hiei whispered.

He waited a few seconds. "NOW!" The two started on different sides of the circle. Most of the ninjas went for Sunaru and her hands were filled so Hiei had to help.

Suddenly Hiei saw one of them out of the corner of his eye with ninja stars. And before he knew it Sunaru cried out with pain. Hiei whirled around.

He saw an other ninja unsheathe a sword. Hiei ran to Sunaru as fast as he could and pushed her and him out of the way just in time. "We got to get out of here. Jump on my back, it'll be faster." Hiei said urgently.

He knew that Sunaru's arm would be a disadvantage. She did what she was told without hesitation and as soon as she was securely on his back he ran swiftly to the direction they had been going to get to the apartment.

"It's that one right there," Sunaru pointed to a dark apartment after they had lost the ninjas. She got off his back and took the key out of her pocket with her uninjured arm.

As soon as she was inside she fell to the ground breathing hard and holding her wounded arm. Hiei locked the door behind him. "They might have followed us." He looked down at her. She was taking out the stars that were still in her arm.

"Go to the bathroom and clean the wound," Hiei ordered her. While she cleaned it, Hiei took off his shirt and started ripping it to shreds. "What are you doing?" Sunaru asked as she came back into the room.

"I have to bandage your arm, and there are obviously nothing here for that. Here, give me your arm." He began bandaging her arm tightly, but not too tight. She began to blush.

"Umm, I just wanted to thank you. You know, for saving back there, and for now." Hiei didn't say anything, just kept on bandaging her arm. "I'll have to change the bandages tomorrow, I need an old shirt."

"Oh, sure." Suddenly, Milky walked into the room from the bedroom. Hiei raised his eyebrow. "That's my spirit beast, Milky." "Well, at least it isn't as ridiculous as Urameshi's."

Milky walked up to Hiei and started rubbing against his leg and purring. Sunaru blushed. "Milky, stop bothering Hiei." Hiei blushed too, he did after all know that spirit beasts represented your inner-self.

Milky slowly walked over to Sunaru and she picked it up. "So, Hiei, have you and the others seen my grandmother lately?" she asked, trying to get a conversation started. Hiei raised his eyebrow.

"What do you mean? Don't you know?" Sunaru looked at him confusedly. "Know what?" "That Genkai was killed..." Hiei waited for a response, when nothing was said, he looked up.

Her head was tilted down and stray hair covered her face so he couldn't see her face. A small pearly tear dropped and Sunaru looked up at Hiei. Her face had no emotion, only her eyes held sadness.

She flung herself onto Hiei and started quietly sobbing into his shoulder. Hiei was stunned by the quick action, but he soon recovered and awkwardly put his arms around her in a hug.

After about an hour, the sobs seized and Hiei heard Sunaru breath evenly. She was asleep. He carried her over to the bedroom and put on the bed, then covered her with a blanket.

He looked at her tearstained face and frowned. 'I like it better when you're happy' * Of course you do, it's because you like her * Hiei ignored that thing that mosquito said and left the room.

He looked over at the couch and decided he'd go to sleep. That night they both had the same dream. It was strange, all they saw was a tiny glowing item that had no shape.

That morning Sunaru was first to get up. She slowly got out of bed, and into the bathroom. After she changed into a green tang top with the words 'Sweetie Cakes' in pink letters and black jean shorts and put her hair into a high ponytail, she went into the kitchen.

Hiei woke up to the smell of pancakes. 'What's that smell?' As a demon, Hiei wasn't very familiar with some human foods, like pancakes.

He wondered to the kitchen, finding Sunaru cooking at the stove. "I guess the smell woke you up, right?" Sunaru asked without turning around.

"What is that?" Hiei asked. Sunaru laughed. "It's pancakes, for breakfast. Sit down and I'll be down in a second." Hiei did as he was told, curious about what he was about to eat.

A few moments later, Sunaru carried two plates to the table. She placed one of them in front of Hiei. He looked down at it. "It's good, here put some syrup on it." She handed him a small bottle of maple syrup.

Hiei took the bottle and poured WAY too much onto his pancakes. He then took his fork and cut the pancakes into smaller pieces and took a bite. His eyes widened and he swallowed.

"That was really sweet." Sunaru laughed. "You put too much syrup. It's better if you put just a little." After breakfast Hiei put replaced Sunaru's bandages.

"Thanks, for yesterday, about telling me about my grandmother. No one's told me. Koenma probably chickened out," Sunaru said as Hiei finished up with the bandages.

"Hn." Sunaru smiled, she had learned by now that a response from Hiei was good enough.
