A Heart

A few minutes later Caralama had woken up from a great dream and she felt absolutely wonderful as she laid her head on Hiei's chest. She began noticed that Hiei wasn't holding her and that his hands were at his sides. She looked up at him and saw his eyes were open, "Caralama ever since I first saw you I thought I would die of a heart attack by just looking at you," Hiei looked beside him and saw that Caralama had gotten off of him and was lying her head on the pillow looking straight at him, "I was always glad that I didn't have a heart then but now I think that I shouldn't have been happy," he saw the questionable look on Caralama's face as if trying to see what he was getting at, "because now that I know I wont die of a heart attack by looking at you I wish that I did have a heart."

Caralama looked at him and he tried to see what she was thinking but her face had that blank look. Finally she moved and was laying on her back and looking at the ceiling, "I know a spell Hiei that might help you," she looked back at him and saw the surprised look on his face, "But I have to know if you had a heart to began with and how you are able to live with out one now in order for the spell to work."

Hiei looked at her as if she was giving him the world, "I did have a heart once," he began while looking at Caralama, "But the way I lost it well that is kind of weird," he looked back at Caralama and her face had that same blank stare.

"You really don't have to tell me Hiei all I need is to know is if you had a heart before, and how you are able to live with out one now," Caralama was looking at Hiei and she saw that telling her how he lost his heart was going to hurt him a lot.

Relieved that he didn't have to tell Caralama he began to smile but the smile soon vanished, "No Caralama I want to tell you this and keep no secrets between us," Hiei saw the look of surprise on Caralama's face and a look of proudness in her eyes, "When I got my Jagan eye the scientist who gave it to me wanted some things in return. I didn't care what he wanted I just wanted to find my sister and tear pendant. So while he was applying me my eye he took out my heart when I was unconscious from the pain and did some other things so that, this is going to sound weird, so that I could survive on my brain," Hiei saw the shock in Caralama's eyes and he moved his hand over to her cup face and as he cupped her face she held her hand over his, "He did some thing to my heart though. If I ever told my sister that I was her brother than he would destroy my heart and I would die along with it."

Caralama instantly snuggled up to him and whispered, "Well I have some good news and I have some bad news," She looked up at Hiei and saw the worry in his eyes. Caralama smiled and said, "The good news is that the spell will work and you will get you heart back," Caralama saw the relief in his eyes and her smile got wider but then it disappeared, "The bad news is it's going to hurt you so much that it will seem like the fireball was just a joke. Because of the way that scientist took out your heart and made sure you lived on your brain, which is a little bit crazy, the spell is going to correct that but it will take a lot longer and hurt even more."

Tears were appearing in Caralama's eyes and he instantly brushed them gently away, "I don't care Caralama as long as I have you here with me than I will be just fine." Caralama gave a little smile and wrapped her arms around Hiei's waist and began to mutter something under her breath.

Hiei held her close and he felt her in his mind and ready to take away as much pain as she could, "Caralama I don't want you to get hurt," Hiei said softly into Caralama's mind.

"If you go through this than we will both got through this together. I love you Hiei and this way will ease the pain a bit more."

Before Hiei could say anything else Caralama put her head right over the place where Hiei's heart was supposed to be and held on tight to his waist and Hiei did the same thing as she muttered the final words of the spell under her breath.

All of a sudden there was instant pain going through Hiei. He held on tightly to Caralama as wave after wave of pain went through him. It seemed like an eternity of pain to Hiei already in just those few seconds. He could feel Caralama's spirit in his body taking away as much pain as she could.

Hiei began to remember when he had the operation with the scientist. (This is when I finally got the DVD boxed set.)

He was held down on a table of some sort by his arms and legs. There was a huge gross purple thing above him with tentacles looking like they were reaching out for him. The scientist appeared beside him saying, "Are you sure you want through with this?" Hiei just stared at the scientist clenching his teeth and didn't say anything, "The fusion between you and the Jagan eye will be much more painful than you imagine. I have to lock you down to the table to keep you from ripping out your own eyes I have ear plugs for my self."

"Huh I want say a word, just do it." Hiei finally said in a calm angry voice.

"Everyone screams," the scientist said after a small amount of silence, "The only question is what will you say?"

Then the thing on the ceiling began to get closer and a thing came out from the center that looked like a mechanical arm with three claws on it started to turn at a high speed and came down towards Hiei forehead. All of a sudden there was a loud crack and Hiei began to feel so much pain, more than he could bare. Then the memory faded.

When Hiei woke up he was in terrible pain. His head hurt but he was expecting that. What he wasn't expecting was that his chest was hurting to. He looked around and saw he was in another room. Hiei put a hand over his chest and he felt a slight bump on his skin. He painfully looked down and saw that on his chest right over the place where his heart was, there was a cut that had been stitched up over his heart. Hiei looked all around for the scientist and saw him in the next room humming something to himself. With great effort Hiei had gotten off of the operation table with his hand still on his chest and went over to the doctor.

"You have been unconscious for at least for four weeks now. You have your Jagan eye so now you can find your tear pendant and your sister," the evil scientist said while holding a jar, "But have you forgotten that I want something in return?" the scientist looked over his shoulder at Hiei. Hiei just stood there with his hand still on his chest. The scientist smiled at him, "You will not tell your sister that you are her brother."

"What makes you think that I will do such a thing?" Hiei finally spoke up in an angry voice.

"Because Hiei," the scientist said as he turned around to face Hiei, "I can instantly kill you if you don't do as I say." The scientist had turned himself completely around and was showing what was in the jar.

Hiei looked at the jar with wide eyes, "Whose heart is that?" he asked in deathly calm voice as he looked at the heart that was in the jar filled with some kind of liquid. The strange thing was the heart was still pulsating.

The scientist gave Hiei a wicked smile and he pointed his index finger up toward the ceiling and then there were sparks on the tip and with an evil smile he touched the jar with his finger and there was instant pain coming from Hiei's chest all the way through his body and Hiei gave out a cry of pain and then it stopped. He was kneeling on the floor with one hand on the floor and the other over his chest. His eyes were opened so wide from the pain he had just felt.

Then he heard a wicked laugh, "This is your heart Hiei. I have made a few adjustments to your body so it can depend on your mind and not on your heart. But I have put a spell on your heart so that it keeps pulsating and if it is injured or hurt in some way you will feel it. If I chose to destroy your heart then you will go with it," the scientist's evil laugh ran through out the room. Hiei had gotten to his feet then and was about to go attack him when the scientist did the same thing to his heart and Hiei was yet again on the floor in the same position breathing more heavily then before.

"So Hiei you are not to tell your sister who you really are right?" Hiei could just look at the evil scientist who literally had his life in his hands, "I will know what you are doing because I can see through your heart where you are and what you are doing. I will even know if you have fallen in love with anyone."

Hiei suddenly got angry but he didn't leap at the scientist again. He didn't know how much his heart could take being electrocuted, "I will do as you say but I will find some way to get back at you for what you have done!" and with that Hiei ran out of the laboratory with the evil scientist's evil laughter right behind him.

Caralama had seen everything in Hiei's mind. How could she not? She was in his mind and felt the same pain that he was feeling. But right now she didn't feel the pain that Hiei was feeling. She was feeling rage towards the person who had done this to him. When Caralama gets angry her energy starts to fade away like the other Signs and she was letting out a lot of rage towards the scientist who had done this to Hiei her love.

Hiei could feel Caralama's body go limp and he instinctively held her closer but not wanting to crush her. He couldn't feel the pain anymore because he began to worry about Caralama. Her body had suddenly gone limp. He pulled himself into a sitting position and laid her across his lap and began stroking her hair away from her face. Caralama had become unconscious from the lack of energy, which made Hiei happy because he didn't want her to suffer any more. Then Hiei fell asleep when the pain was just horrible to manage.
