A/N: Alright guys, so far I have 4 reviews...YOU REALLY GOTTA DO BETTER
THAN THAT!!!!!!! XD but anyways..here's chapter 4..
~ Dark Takeover: Chapter 4 ~
"FINE MY ASS!!! HE COULD HAVE KILLED YOU!!!" Miya shrieked at her stunned sister.
"No, really, I'm fine," Aklyis repeated herself.
Miya opened her mouth to say something but stopped herself, knowing it was truly hopeless. She simply shook her head and walked away.
It was now late at night, and the girls were still wandering around in the forest. They couldn't believe the sheer size of it. Finally settling down in a small opening between the trees, the girls decided to call it a day.
Meanwhile, Hiei couldn't seem to take his eyes off the brown-headed girl. He was quite nervous about the fact there was someone in his forest that could challenge him. He didn't like it. Aklyis herself had been quite paranoid about being in a fire demon's forest. She didn't like the fact that he could move so quickly. What if he was watching her..right...now..
And he was. He stared down at her like a hawk, his eyes never leaving her. The loud black-haired one was out like a light, and showed no signs of waking up any time soon.
Aklyis couldn't sleep. She just had that feeling she was being watched.
'I'm being paranoid.' She thought to herself sitting up. Looking up at the treetops she couldn't help but glance around just to see if there was something there. Nothing. She sighed deeply as she looked down again. Glancing around, everything seemed fine, but there was still that uneasy feeling of not being alone.
"Why are you following me?" she asked the area around her, not sure whether she was being completely sane or not. Aklyis jumped ten feet when she got an answer.
"I'm not. You're in my forest."
Aklyis scowled to herself. 'Honestly, who does this guy think he is? It's not like he has a piece of paper that says it belongs to him.' Slowly reaching for her katana she tried her best to look around without moving her head too much. Nothing. 'Where the hell is he?'
"What are you doing here?" Hiei's deep voice asked rather harshly.
"Running."
"From what?"
"..Everything"
Hiei stopped for a moment. He could see her life was obviously difficult. His incredibly simple questions seemed to have been hitting a soft spot, or bringing back unwanted memories. At first her eyes were hard and cold, but now they were full of emotion. Anger, fear, loneliness, desperation, and sadness.
"Your eyes grow softer every time you speak," he stated obviously
Akylis jerked her head up. "You're watching?"
Hiei just shrugged, even though she couldn't see him. "I can if you want me to."
Something inside Aklyis burned when he said this. She wasn't sure if it was just because no one had ever talked to her this way before let along talk to anyone at all. "Why would I want that?"
He shrugged again, "How should I know, it's not like I have anything better to do."
"I...see. So, why are you here? Don't you have a home to go to?"
"..No."
"Why not?"
"That's none of your business little girl."
"I'm not little!"
"Oh believe me, you are, little girl."
"I DO have a name!"
"But I don't know it so it doesn't really matter now does it?"
"Whatever. My name's Aklyis."
"And I care because?"
"I'm just telling you so you can stop calling me little girl."
"Fine, whatever." Hiei sat there for a moment without saying anything. Truthfully, he was somewhat interested in what the name of the girl that nearly beat him was.
Aklyis sat there staring at the ground. Why did she just tell a complete stranger her name? She didn't know him, or anything about him. What was she thinking?
The quiet forest was suddenly disturbed by the shouts of what seemed to be very angry men.
"SPREAD OUT MEN!! DON'T STOP UNTIL WE FIND THOSE TWO WRECHES!!!"
Fear filled Aklyis' heart as the air caught in her throat. "No, not now."
Hiei turned his head to look at the girl. "What is that?"
"It's the soldiers that were after us earlier. It looks like they found our trail and followed it." Aklyis was on her feet in a flash waking her sister and gathering her things. "Hurry Miya, we must leave!" But as she turned around, she came face to face with the man whom she had tied onto a wall. The young girl's eyes widened in terror, knowing the man would be more than furious with her and her sister. The large bulky leader grabbed Aklyis by her shoulders and yanked her towards him.
"There's no escape now, bitch," He whispered in a deathly quiet voice.
A/N: ^^ sorry, I couldn't help but leave you guys with a cliffy! Well you know the drill!! R&R!!!!!!
