The Girl Next Class Pt. 4

"Well kina," she said.

"Kina?"

"Well he...um...it's just that I'm a little afraid of rejection," she said.

"Oh," he said frowning slightly. She liked someone so his chances were slim to none. But what if...nah couldn't be. "Okay next, now you don't have to answer this but are you a virgin?"

She gasped as he felt her fall hard on top of him.

"Oomph," he gasped having the air knocked out of him. "Lilly? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, sorry," she said breathlessly as she climbed back up onto the bed. "What would make you doubt my sexuality?" she asked.

"Well it's just that for some guy to hurt you so much the relationship must have been serious," he said already knowing the answer.

All was silent for a while when she finally croaked, "No I lost my virginity a long time ago."

"I see," he said feeling better about hearing it from her. "Don't worry I won't tell anyone."

"Thanks Suichi-Chan," she said sweetly.

In the next few days they got another bed put in Suichi's room planning for little Suichi to give his room for Lilly. But Lilly said it was fine that she slept in the same room as Suichi if he didn't mind. So they shared a room and on the day that Suichi was to go on the mission he came to Lilly after school one day.

No one was home and Lilly was starting dinner when he approached her a frown-ridden face.

"Hello Suichi-Chan. Why the sad face," she asked looking worried.

"Today's the day I have to go work," he said as she smiled.

"Oh, well hope you have a nice time and come back soon k?" she said sweetly.

He came up to her wrapping his arms around her waist. Since they were facing each other he laid his head on her shoulder. Her breath caught in her throat but didn't pull back from his touch.

"Believe me when I say I really don't want to leave but I have to," he said as she stroked his head smiling gently.

"I understand," was all she said as he left a small kiss on her neck then detached himself from her walking to the door where little Suichi was gawking at him.

"What-um...I," was all he stammered as big Suichi left.

By the next week the mission was over and Suichi called his house. The boys were scratched up and bruised but they were bandaged and better than before.

"Hello? Minnimino residence Lilly speaking" came the soothing voice of Lilly.

"Hello Lilly," he said loving the sound of her voice more than ever.

"Suichi-Chan? Oh, my how are you?" she asked.

"Um..." he looked at his wounds. "Well let's just say I've seen better days. Anyways I'm coming home now."

"Oh, Suichi-Chan that's wonderva (that means wonderful to all those who don't know)," she said almost screaming. "I'll have to make something special for dinner what do you want?"

"Your Miso soup would be nice," he said smiling.

"Okay, when will you be home?" she asked sounding excited.

"About an hour give or take," he said. "Oh and do you mind if I bring some friends?"

"That would be wonderva, okay see you than," she said as if she were about to bust

"See you then," then they hung up.

When Suichi and the boys got home Lilly was on the porch waiting for them. She smiled big when they came closer, which when she got a good look at them turned to worry.

"Suichi-Chan what happened?!" she yelled running up to Suichi.

"Calm down it's my job," he said calmly.

She sighed but didn't drag on the matter instead she led them all to the dining room where a huge dinner was.

All their mouths dropped at all the delicious looking and smelling food.

"Sit down and eat you must be hungry," Lilly said sitting down Suichi sitting next to her. The boys sat down Lilly said prayer and they all dug in. They talked and laughed about nothing just discussing what had been going on at school and home. When all were full Suichi helped Lilly clear the table as the guys went home.

Suichi and Lilly started doing the dishes without saying a word just enjoying each other's company.

"I missed you," Suichi said suddenly trying to create conversation.

"Not as much as I missed you," she said smiling. For a while the two of them argued on who had missed the other more when finally she admitted defeat and sighed. "Your parents are out to dinner and your brothers at a friends house," she answered your unasked question.

"Oh, when will my parents be back?" he asked.

"Any moment now they left at about 6:00," she said just as they finished the dishes. "I think I'll head off to bed now," she said heading off to Suichi's room.

Only when he heard the slow soft breaths of sleep signifying that she had fallen into sleep did he slip up to his room. When he came in he saw her peaceful face and moaned in desire for her. Realizing what he had done he shook his head and changed quickly just in case she awoke. Silent as the kitsune he was he crept up to her bedside and stared at her for a long time.

"Kitsune," came a voice from behind as Hiei's aura dissolved from the shadows. "What to try her mind again?"

Suichi smiled to the fire demon and nodded.

Soon they were in the organized mind of the one Suichi desired most. Scanning the doors they came to one that said, 'Old Memories'. Suichi pointed to it and Hiei nodded as they went in to see a room much like the last. All there was was stonewalls with frames of different colors on the walls. Suichi and Hiei went up to one on the wall right in front of them with a black frame.

Suichi ran his fingers over the frame and instantly it came to life with a picture of Lilly in a group of four girls. One had metallic blond hair, tan skin, dark blue eyes and a bright smile, another was the complete opposite with her pale skin and dark raven hair with red eyes much like Hiei's, one other was tall with blond hair that was strung with black highlights and with green eyes like Suichi's, the last was a short girl about Hiei's height with short black hair and blue highlights her eyes were multi-colored as she smiled widely.

They all smiled and hung onto the happy Lilly. These were not the people that Suichi had expected Lilly to hang out with. For one the blue highlighted girl was defiantly punk/gothic and the others (except the metallic blond) looked punk.

The frame changed pictures going to Lilly bloody and torn up walking weakly through a forest. By the wounds on her back it looked just after she had been whipped. Tired and weak she fell to the mud and just lay there limp.

"Look," came a hushed voice as the frame shifted to four shadows in the trees. One was floating another was in the tree while the others were on the ground. "Jun go see if it's safe," said the voice again. Suddenly a black panther slinked from the shadows and eased towards the torn up Lilly with caution.

As the panther got to the body it sniffed carefully then looked back to the group signaling that it was okay. Suddenly the girl with pale skin and dark hair came from a near by shadow and walked to the body and panther. She scratched the panther behind the ears making it purr softly. Signaling to the rest of the group as the other girls came out of the tree line and looked down at Lilly's body.

"Man what happened to the poor girl," the metallic blond asked looking down with pity at Lilly.

The blond with black highlights who was now bent over examining the wounds stood and turned to the group a solemn expression on her face. "These are whip wounds. Someone has defiled her perfect body by use of whip," the blond said angrily.

"Who would do such a thing?" the metallic girl asked.

"The village that lays not too far from here whips if they feel right," the red eyed girl said venom dripping from her words.

"You think they would actually do that?" the panther growled.

"I've seen them in the night," red said viciously.

"Selen is she youki?" asked the panther.

The metallic girl concentrated on Lilly's energy and when she opened her eyes said, "Yes, I believe she is kitsune."

"Well let's take her to our home so we can get her fixed up," the black highlighted girl said picking her up gently to place the body on the panthers back.

With that the frame went dark and the two just stood there in silence.

Suichi was in deep thought.

"What are you two doing here?" came a voice making the two friends jump.
