'Who is that girl... ?' He thought. 'Bad enough our leader brought that rich snob here... I wonder who she is... maybe a servant or something. No matter...' He blinked back to reality. 'Hey... where did she go...?'
Ashira looked about through the mass of people. She sighed, knowing herself to be too short to see over any of the men. How was she going to find this kid?
Meanwhile Hiei jumped up onto an overhang to search for the girl. Looking through the crowd, he noticed a flash of silver blonde emerge briefly as the thieves started to disperse. Watching carefully, he waited for her to pop up among the thieves again.
Ashira stopped her journey through the sea of thieves when she arrived to stand at the wall, where Hiei had been moments before. Sighing to herself she sat down, wondering where the spiky haired ten-year old had gone. Thinking a bit more, maybe she was just imagining him. She closed her eyes and leaned against the wall, thoroughly convinced, that the boy she once saw, was no more than a phantom lingering in the air.
Hiei's red orbs settled on the siren as soon as she had sat down. He watched her warily, wondering why he felt a need to watch this girl. The leader certainly hadn't appointed him, or anyone else for that matter, the job of watching the girl, and even if he had been so graciously given the job, he wouldn't have done it. Stepping off the overhang he settled in between what was left of the thieves. He certainly wasn't going to talk to her.... but something inside him made him want her to talk to him....
Ashira looked up when the sound of feet crunching gravel subsided. Looking about the hall, there was no one to be seen. No one to be seen, but the phantom boy, anyway. Rubbing her eyes she blinked at him several times before deciding his presence was genuine. Standing up, she smiled and hurried up to him.
Hiei cautiously looked her over. He never had seen someone so close to his age up close before. Not to mention the fact that she was girl. His eyes narrowed as he noticed her look, "What?"
She stared, "You don't look invisible." she paused, "I thought phantoms were invisible."
Phantom? What was she saying? He wondered if she had been dropped on her head before... ironic that he had dropped off a whole city himself. "I'm not a phantom. My name is Hiei."
"Oh! My name is Ashira, I'm a siren. What are you?"
"I am a fire youkai. Why did you come with that guy? Did he kidnap you or something?" he inquired. For some odd reason he found himself curious to learn about her. He stared at her. Silvery blonde hair, grey eyes, white tunic with black pants and undershirt; nothing out of the ordinary. Yet those eyes captivated him, seemingly drawing him into a pool of liquid silver that could drown him in their truth and purity. He gave her a small smile, something rare, that he would find himself giving to her many times in the future.
"No, he didn't kidnap me!" she giggled, "That's my Daddy."
"Your father? You're the daughter of that rich guy?"
She nodded, "Mm-hm!" She smiled at him, "Why, is it bad or something?"
"No.. I just didn't think you were...." He answered awkwardly
"So you're one of these theify people? Is it fun? Mother says you're all scum of the earth...."
Hiei frowned slightly.
She smiled, continuing, "But I think you're cool, you don't seem mean at all."
He smiled slightly at her again, "I like being one, it gives me the chance to get stronger."
She nodded, "You wanna go play?"
"Play...?" He frowned slightly, "I've never played before...."
"Don't worry! I can teach you, and then you could teach me to be strong like you!"
He paused and thought for a moment, "Alright."
She smiled happily and grabbed his hand, dragging him outside into the warm autumn air of the training grounds. Hiei found himself blushing slightly at the touch of her soft hand against his own, but knew not why....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Me: The second chapter!! It's so cute!
Hiei: I acted weird.
Me: Did I make you that out of character? **cries**
Hiei: D-don't cry.... **tries to comfort**
Me: Please Review! **sniffle**
Hiei: For all your sakes... when she gets depressed she tends to get a little scary..
Me: Hiei....
Hiei: What is it Ashira?
Me: You don't need to protect my readers....
Hiei: I think I do.
Me: I thought you would be the one to kill everyone.
Hiei: I will if they don't review and make you depressed more.... I don't get what I want when you're depressed.
Me: Hiei that's for the later chapters!!!
Hiei: **smirk**
