Ch7 _On_the_Run_

_____________________________

I whipped my head around with a startled expression. I looked into the dark

greenery that was on all sides of me,seeing nothing but the shadows of the forest.

I was feeling more secure when I didn't see anything,but of course the security

was taken when I heard a familar voice.

"Urameshi,we've been walking for hours with no luck!Maybe she got eaten and we

can go home."

"Kuwabara,what makes you think they would EAT her?They'd kidnap her at the

most,plus Koenma said her energy was around here somewhere."

"Well,I'm tired,lets rest a little."

I gasped when I heard them say each others names.Yusuke and Kuwabaka. I cursed

quietly to myself and stood up. I needed to get out of here,but I didn't even know

WHERE here was. All sides of me looked VERY uninviting,but I chose east of me,

for some odd reason. I scampered into now the light drizzle of rain,my feet making

harshly loud and regreting splashes in the puddles that surrounded me.

"Hey,Kuwabara,did you here that?"

"Yeah,it sounds like someone running.....shoot!"

"C'mon before we lose her!"

I heard their footsteps growing steadily closer to my own,and also my heart trying

to jump outa my chest! Its unsteady racing made me scared out of my mind,not

to mention the spirit detectives at my heels!

I was huffing and puffing,my face being stinged with heaven's tears,and my body

shaking from lack of energy. I hardly took the time to look at my surroundings,but

something happened to catch my eyes. A large weeping willow,with a HUGE hole

in its center.

I skidded to a hault,and ran into its arm like branches,its vines drapping over my

shoulders and back to the ground. I ran to its trunk,looking up at the hole burrowed

deep into its body. It was high up,to me at least. I tried desparetly to pull myself

up,but only my fingertips could grasp the rim of it. I let go,my fingers buring and

cold numb at the same time.

Then,something I comepletly expected,happened. I heard soft footsteps outside

the strong arms of the protective weeping willow. I shut my eyes tight,expecting the

worst,...,...,I waited,but,nothing happened. I heard nothing,but I dared not open my

eyes. Then,I fell into a soft,half scared out of my mind,sleep.

I awoke slowly to the smell of smoke,a small fire. I was turned away from the tree,

facing the fire,and layed down on Hiei's cloak,which I had completly forgotten when

I started running for dear life. The rain that was still going when I fell asleep was now

gone,leaving a thick mist in its departure. It was now nightime,and all I could do

was make out anything a few inches from my face. I lifted my head from the ground,

my palms used to steady myself. I turned myself to my other side,and let out a soft gasp,

in every attempt not to wake him.

Hiei was laid not to far from me in a light,aware,sleep. He was laying on his back,

shirtless. I stared at him.His face looked somewhat peaceful, but the scars along

his firm chest told me something different. I gave a small gasp again when I saw

his crimson eyes looking at me.

"Hi Hiei." I said as warmly as possible,which,as a surprise to me,wasn't so hard.

He just continued looking at me,then tried to move and get up,whincing in pain,and

laying back down,eyes scrunched up.

"Hiei,whats wrong?" I asked worridly,as he could tell.

He moaned,and let out a small smile....
