Chapter 3 Areeyu's Gift

The top of the stairs led them out onto a huge deck-like tree limb. The moon shed a silvery light down, beautifully illuminating the forest. "Stay here." Areeyu's voice quivered with emotion.
She walked about ten feet away and turned to face Hiei. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
Hiei heard her breathing quicken. Suddenly her eyes snapped open, but they here different. Hiei watched them change from green to amber and her pupils narrow to slits. He could see her teeth grow down to fangs. Her ears grew to a point, and a scaled tail grew from her back. Hiei gasped in surprise when two dragon wings sprouted from her back. Her breathing slowed and she straightened and Hiei took a step closer.
She was trembling from the furious flow of energy flooding through her veins. She still hadn't learned to fully control her demon energy.
"So there you go...." she smiled weakly.
"A dragon demon..."Hiei whispered. Areeyu smiled, and suddenly she gasped as Hiei saw her eyes widen and return to normal. Her ears turned back to normal, and her wings, tail, and horns meted back into her body. Her eyes rolled upwards and she fell forward.
Hiei ran forward and caught her. He looked at her face. She was unconscious. The use of human energy and the sudden rush of demon energy had been to much for her. He gently laid her on the tree limb and supported her head. She slowly opened her eyes.
" Hhhnnnn...." she moaned, siting up. (C/N: does this phrase sound familiar to any of you?) " As you see I am a demon, yet I am not a demon." Areeyu said, forcing a smile.
"You showed me your secret, so I shall show you mine." Hiei said.
"I had a feeling that you wore a headband for a reason." she said as Hiei removed his white headband, revealing his Jagan eye. Areeyu gazed into it.
"Hiei, I don't wish to sound rude, but are you happy always wearing that headband? Along with my demon powers, I have an odd gift of being able to heal things. I believe that I have the skill to hide your Jagan Eye. My healing powers are far better than my demon ones." Areeyu said. "You would still keep all the powers it gives you, but it would not be an external feature. And you would be able to summon it into view at will....."
" I am willing to try it. I have wondered what it would be like to remove my headband in public without intimidating people." Hiei said, smiling. "Go for it." (C/N: him....smiling....creepy.)
Areeyu walked over to Hiei and pushed her body up next to his. She looked deep into his eyes, as if seeking his soul.
"Close your eyes and relax." Areeyu whispered, feeling him lean against the tree trunk behind them.
Hiei did as he was bidden and felt Areeyu slip her hands into his. She inhaled sharply and he felt her tense, then quickly relax. He felt a burning pain on his forehead. Suddenly Areeyu pulled away. Hiei heard her voice, it sounded faraway
"Keep your eyes closed. You may want to sit down. Don't worry, the pain will soon end." she said calmly.
The pain subsided and Hiei opened his eyes. He could still sense his Jagan eye, but his vision seemed a bit narrower. He could feel a presence behind him and turned around to see his reflection staring at him....his two eyed reflection. Areeyu peeked out from behind the mirror. She simply smiled. And Hiei grinned back, ear to ear.
"I can still feel it, although it isn't there." he whispered. "Thank you..." he said, turning to Areeyu only to find she wasn't there.
Hiei heard a low swish of air and found himself looking down the blade of his own sword, centered between his eyes; a hairs-breadth away from his skin.
"I swear I will kill you if you tell the others. If anyone is to tell them it will be me. Agreed?" Areeyu hissed.
"As you wish" Hiei whispered, snatching his sword from Areeyu and sheathing it.
"As long as you don't tell the others about this." Hiei said, "As far as they know I hate you. Wouldn't want them to think I was getting soft."
