Well hello readers, sorry the last chapter took so long and then it was so short... I've been going through a lot of stress lately and such, actually I'm in Finals week right now, I should be studying but no one needs to know that.... : ) ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Slowly, a dark figure crept into Hiei's room, silently shutting the door behind him. He smirked and hissed, flicking a forked black tongue between two yellow fangs protruding from his mouth. Yellow eyes gazed hungrily over Ashira's body hidden in the blankets. He slowly crept over to her bedside, knowing now that Hiei was out of the room as he had seen him walking down the hall. He smiled to himself, thinking that now it would be much easier to take advantage of the siren girl. He wasn't the only one that found themselves drawn to her beauty; most of the clan's thieves did find her a slight irresistible. Not only was she a weak little girl, now she had a cold, or so he had heard, making her even an easier catch. It was just a matter of making her keep her mouth shut, no matter, that's what fangs were for.
Ashira smiled slightly in her sleep, the dream she was having was nice. Hiei was there and the both of them were playing tag. She was it... he always caught her eventually. He usually toyed with her a bit, making the game a bit more interesting, and then when he found it fitting, would speed up and catch her. Then the game would ensue as before, he going slower than possible so she had a bit of a chance and then slow down so he could go after her again. In this dream however, Hiei was going fast as she chased him across the field. At the rate she could go, she would NEVER catch the Jaganshi. As she sped up to the fastest her body could go, the world seemed to go black. She stopped running and so did Hiei. He looked back at her slowly and raised an eyebrow at her curiously, wondering why she had stopped. She looked around quickly as the earth began to shake and rumble under the two teenagers' feet. Ashira looked up at Hiei in a shocked manner and he started to run back to her side. She blinked and urged him to hurry.
Out of her dream, Ashira had started to toss a turn, something wrong in the dream. The demon watching her, rolling his eyes, "Poor thing...." He hissed with a satisfying smirk. He ran a clawed and scaly hand over her cheek, leaving small scratch lines of blood where his sharp claws had broken the skin.
Back in the dream, the earth began to crack, separating the two quite quickly. Hiei made the jump for the other side of the quickly widening chasm. His jump fell short however and he began to fall, merely inches from the intended destination where his feet were supposed to have reached. Ashira slid to the ground and grabbed his hand, grabbing hold of the edge with her free hand, straining to hold on to his weight. She smiled faintly at him and he smiled back slightly. Seeing the strain it put on her to hold on to him and keep herself from slipping, he let go of her hand and fell into the darkness.
Ashira screamed and woke up quickly, grasping the sheets so tightly, her knuckles colored white. The snake youkai blinked at her and looked back towards the door, "Ssssssshit...." He hissed, knowing Hiei would have heard her by now and was undoubtedly coming to her rescue.
Hiei threw open the door, katana drawn. He didn't wait for an explanation or anything for that matter and quickly stabbed the youkai in the chest, dark blood splashing to the floor. "Ashira! Are you alright?!" he asked kneeling next to her and grabbing her hand.
"...I guess so..." she said softly, breathing hard.
Hiei noticed her face and frowned, "Ashira, you're bleeding." He brought a hand to her face and felt her wounds lightly, blood slipping onto his fingers.
"How can a dream make you bleed?" she asked a bit confused, considering they were talking about two different things.
"A dream?" Hiei raised an eyebrow at her, "I was talking about Suruku....." he motioned to the bloody body of the snake youkai with his katana. "He wasn't in here for afternoon tea." He growled.
"I—I had a dream..." she stuttered, looking down to her lap in embarrassment.
"Everyone has dreams, what was so special about yours?" He sounded a bit sarcastic.
"Nothing... nothing at all." She replied looking down. It was odd that Hiei would reply to her so bitterly or sarcastically and she found that she felt herself draw back from him and become more timid.
"I'm not leaving this room again. I see now, that even though the clan knows that you belong to me they still will go after you... hn." He muttered to himself.
"Belong to you?" she cocked her head a slight and blinked, very confused with the situation.
Hiei looked up quickly, "What I mean to say is that you are my friend and I won't let anyone hurt you..." he sighed, hoping that his quick excuse would pass by her.
"Uhn... I suppose so...." She nodded and reached her fingers up to touch the blood trickling down her cheek. "I wonder why he scratched me...." She sighed and looked up at the ceiling, "I mean really, what did he want this late at night?" she shook her head in disbelief at the rudeness she believed Suruku had shown.
Hiei sighed and closed his eyes, "That's how we thieves are... cruel, greedy and bloodthirsty..." he told this more to himself than her.
"Hiei..." she blinked at him sadly, "You're not any of those things..... you're........ Hiei." She smiled at him.
He smiled slightly, "Get some rest Ashira. You need it."
"But Hiei, I just woke up..." she whined slightly, not wanting to have that nightmare again. The whole prospect of losing Hiei made her heart ache and her blood run cold. She quickly threw her arms about him, "Please.... Please don't leave me."
Hiei nodded and smiled at her, "I promised I wouldn't and besides, as a Hiei, I keep my promises."

Me: Well, that's done... it took me a while but I finished the eighth chapter!
Hiei: Hn, at least I got to kill something...
Me: What about the hide and go seek chapter??
Hiei: I didn't kill them then... they didn't die outright.
Me: Oh yeah....
Hiei: Hn
Me: You got to say your word in this chapter, don't you feel special?
Hiei: Am I finally becoming a bit... meaner?
Me: A little, you're agitated, but not full blown Hiei material yet
Hiei: Next story ne?
Me: Yeppers, a few more chapters for here and then off to the next story! ::holds up flags::
Hiei: I can't believe what I have to do in the next story....
Me: Hehe, so you would never take advice from a certain Fox then?
Hiei: Never.
Me: But he's the king of thieves, the best of the best, the infamous sex god!!
Hiei: Hn, I'll show you sex god.... ::grabs her and flits off:: Review or die.
