"So, whore, any last words?"

Hiei said with disdain as he looked girl who desperately trying to get him to let her go. The air was filled with the scent of fear and teachers were closing in and shouting that he should let her go.

Hiei raised his arm and flexed his clawed while he smirked as he saw the terror in her eyes, giving her a good view of his fangs. The smell of piss filled the air and Hiei narrowed his eyes at the girl. 'Die.'

"No Hiei."

Hiei turned towards Aria. She was standing by the gates. They locked eyes. He could see that she was weary.

"Let her go Hiei."

Hiei's gaze switched from Aria to the girl still hanging in his hand when she whimpered. Aria could feel his longing to kill her.

"You can't just kill people here Hiei. There will be consequences if you do."

Hiei didn't look at her but looked around at the crowd to see if there were any threats. Sesshoumaru was holing back the teachers and students. Several of the teachers were lying on the ground out cold. Hiei looked back towards the human in his grasp.

"Why should I spare this pathetic human. She called you a whore and insulted us. We are connected as well now, I can feel your contempt. So why should I spare her."

"I don't like her Hiei but you will get my family in trouble if you kill her. I can't let that happen."

She walked over to Hiei. She put her hand on his arm.

"Let's go Hiei. She's not worth it."

They looked at each other for a moment

"Yes, Let's go see her brother."

Sesshoumaru agreed with a smirk. Aria cringed and turned to look at him. He 'innocently' met her gaze. Hiei smirked at the suggestion.

"Yes, let's."

He said while he dropped the girl on the ground in her own puddle of piss. Hiei wiped his hand on his cloak with a look of disgust before scooping Aria up in his arms and making his way towards the gate. Sesshoumaru joined him while knocking over some of Lieke's 'friends' who where huddled together by a tree. Hiei stopped at the gate for a moment to glare at everybody there before taking off with Aria in his arms.

Sesshoumaru stopped at the gate as well and looked around the crowd as if looking for something. His eyes stopped on a girl standing in front of the entrance. Gilluin. She was looking in the direction that Hiei and Aria went. She looked sad. Sesshoumaru walked over to her. She looked at him as he reached a spot not far from her. The people around them backed away. Nobody paid attention to them as they fled the premises, still scared of the Inu Taiyoukai Lord, or tended to the wounded.

"You are her friend are you not?"

She nodded.

"You carry her bracelet?"

Sesshoumaru asked in surprise as he saw what she had in her hand, though no one could tell. Gilluin nodded again. She looked in the direction Aria and Hiei went again.

"Don't worry about her. We will take care of her. She is safe."

Gilluin looked at him again and smiled sadly.

"Thank you. I will miss her. I suppose you can't tell me who you two are, where you taking her or why you are taking her?"

Sesshoumaru looked at her for a moment as if contemplating something.

"No."

"Thought so."

His eyes locked on the bracelet.

"That bracelet carries some of her essence in it. You can tell if she is fine when you wear it. You must be a very good friend for her to give it to you."

Sesshoumaru send her a calculating look.

"We are like sisters. She helped me when I was going through a very difficult time and in turn I helped her."

She just said with a faraway look.

"With what did you help her?"

Gilluin eyes focused on him again and she shot him a calculating look.

"That is not my place to say."

She said with a determent but faraway voice.

In the distance the sound of sirens could be heard. Gilluin turned that way for a moment before addressing the Taiyoukai Lord again.

"You should go. The police are coming. Could you give her a message? Could you tell her that I don't understand what is going on but that I forgive her and that I will miss her?"

Sesshoumaru nodded. She sighed.

"We will protect her. You have my word, friend of Aria."

Sesshoumaru said. He bowed to her. Gilluin looked at him confused. She didn't understand that it was a sigh of his respect to her but something told her he didn't do that often and as he started to walk away she quickly called out to him.

"Thank you."

She bowed to him.

He nodded once before taking off after Hiei and Aria.

Never to be heard off again.

Well, in this world.
