It was later on that night when the party has already started and people were already drunk. Midori was somewhat bored of it and decided to leave, but no matter how many times she tried, someone was always stopping her.

"Um sweetie, where's your restroom?" A lady asked.

Midori pointed her way. "Down the hall and to your right." The lady smiled and left. 'My god are these people planning on keeping me in this place that I right about now call hell?' Midori thought to herself sighing. She scanned the room for anyone heading her way; none were around. Midori hurried and slipped through the screen door of the patio to go out to the lake. The place she always ran to.

At the lake Midori sat at the bank. It was too cold to go for a swim but that didn't bother her at all. Around and round she swam letting her body flow through the water. Midori looked up from the bottom of the lake and can see that someone was looking into the lake possibly looking for her. She swam up to see that that someone was Hiei. She smiled as she pulled herself out of the water and sat next to him. Hiei stood with his arms folded.

"You're odd you know that?" He said not taking one look at her.

"What do you mean?"

"Swimming almost every night although your fragile human body can't take the cold temperature. What makes this place so special to you?" Hiei sat down next to her.

"I don't know. I just always want to be here so I can think and have time to myself. Only you would know I come down here you spy."

"If I were spying, you wouldn't know I'm here. I'd be hiding, am I correct?"

Midori chuckled to herself. He was always correcting her on everything she said. Although wouldn't it be normal for Hiei?

"Hiei?"

Hiei looked at the purpled hair girl and into her light blue eyes.

"Do you remember how we met? I do. I can never forget that. I was running. Running away from home because I couldn't take the pain anymore. You brought me to Kurama when I was wounded and bleeding. I thought you cared."

"Hn. I don't care for ningens. I pity them." Hiei got up and turned to leave.

"You don't love me back, do you? I'm just like everyone else. I'm just there." Hiei stopped but ignored her and kept walking.
