Dark Takeover: Chapter 21

-- Don't say Goodbye –

Aklyis couldn't help but stumble numerous times as Hiei lead her through the forest, more roughly than she would have liked. She attentively touched her belly with her free hand, praying that no harm would come to the child growing inside. The girl swallowed the hard lump that had formed in her throat. What would they to her and her baby? Only the gods up above knew. Hiei's whispering voice sounded softly in her ear, startling her.

"I must keep you away from Zoran. If he finds out you're pregnant we're both fucked."

Aklyis' eyebrows furrowed at the comment. He sounded so careless, like he didn't give a crap about their child. "You sound like you're only worried about us. Our child is not an object!" she hissed venomously in his ear. Hiei was slightly taken aback by her sudden anger.

"I'm just trying to do what's best for all of us!" he growled back with equal rage.

"Whatever…"

Tamoro and Miya stood gaping at the trail of dust that was left behind by Hiei and his soldiers. Miya's mind worked frantically.

"What are we going to do now??" Tamoro groaned throwing his hands up in exasperation.

Miya sighed. "I don't know if we can trust….him…." she started pondering for a moment. "He seems to have good intentions but you never know. He's a terribly good actor."

"We need backup…"

"Where can we possibly get backup?"

"Follow me my lady…"

Aklyis groaned. Her feet were sore and her legs were aching with muscle pains. Not to mention there was a nasty migraine working its way through the girl's head. She turned pleadingly to Hiei who seemed to be ignoring her signs of fatigue. As if finally realizing her multicoloured orbs on him, Hiei turned slowly to look at his mate.

"What?" he inquired somewhat innocently.

Aklyis shook her head. "Nothing."

Hiei shrugged and continued walking.

After what seemed like an eternity. They finally reached the tower.

"So how do you exactly plan on keeping me safe and secret?" Aklyis questioned Hiei as they approached.

"You will stay in my room for the next six months until the child is born." He stated calmly, unaware of his powerful words.

Aklyis' eyes widened to the size of saucers. "Y-you're not s-serious!!"

Hiei closed his blood red orbs and sighed. "I'm afraid so. I can't have you running around with a stomach like that. Someone is bound to hurt the child."

The brunette averted her gaze, and stared at the ground. Hiei was right. If they found out, she and her baby would be dead for certain. It would be difficult…but it seemed to be the only way.

The army halted at the gates of the tower.

"Stay here." Hiei commanded to his army. With one swift motion, he picked up his saddened lover, and flew her up to his room, near the top of the tower. Aklyis gasped at the sudden burst of speed. Landing in the center of his pampered and silk room, images and visions of their erotic lovemaking came flooding back to the teenage girl's mind. A red blush crept up to her cheeks as she laid eyes on the pillows that were still scattered on the floor since that day. It was three and a half months ago. Three and a half months…and he still hadn't moved the dismantled items. The fire demon carried Aklyis across the room and gently laid her down on his bed.

"You better get comfortable. You'll be hanging around this room for a long time."

Aklyis visibly winced at the thought of being stuck in Hiei's bedroom for half a year. Well…at least they could be together now.

"Stay here. I'll be back soon." He commanded as he left her lying on the bed like a helpless child with the flu. Sweeping past all the scattered pillows and furniture, he exited the large wooden doors, and closed them with a soft click.

The girl sighed once more. 'What a life…'

"Ahh…good to see you have returned… Did you retrieve what I asked dear nephew?"

"Yes…and no. I am sorry to say, dear uncle…" He spat the word 'dear' venomously. "That the brown headed wench is dead. I found her mangled body by the forest. We searched her things and found nothing. The soldiers burned the corpse later. However, it seems her sister and that other man are alive and running," he lied. He needed to draw Zoran's attention to Miya and Tamoro momentarily. They had nothing on them, and would simply waste Zoran's time. Hiei knew they could handle themselves…hopefully.

Zoran smiled thoughtfully. Of course, he knew this was a lie. He knew the wench was alive, and pregnant. But what he didn't know was that she was under his very roof. Zoran knew that Hiei's loyalties would be questioned when it came to the brown-haired bitch.

"I sent my regiment to search for the other two." Hiei interrupted Zoran's thoughts. Hiei's men had seen him take Aklyis. He needed to keep them away from Zoran so that they wouldn't spill out the fact that Aklyis was with him, or even alive.

Zoran nodded. "Well done. You may leave."

Hiei bowed slightly, glaring at the floor as he did so. God how he hated that bastard. But it was too early to lunge. He still needed more time, and more back up. Swiftly turning, the fire demon left the room.

It seemed like an eternity when she had last felt his touch, his kiss, breathed in his scent, and heard his calming voice. His kiss was like fire. Wherever it went it burned her skin with passion and desire. Aklyis gasped as he nipped the skin on her neck. Running her hands through his silky black hair, she arched her back feeling the desire well up inside of her.

Hiei pulled back. His eyes seemed to penetrate her like a blade through flesh. "We shouldn't,"  he warned.

Aklyis closed her eyes and nodded. "I know…" Leaning up, she melted her lips against his, wrapping her arms around his neck in a heated embrace. He let himself down beside her, and brought her smaller frame close to him. Closing his eyes, Hiei allowed the darkness of sleep take over his body. Aklyis sighed contently. Maybe it wouldn't be that bad. As long as things went this way…she would be happy. Her thoughts traveled back to her sister and Tamoro. Would they be safe? Would Zoran go after them? Shaking her head of the disturbing thoughts, Aklyis snuggled closer to Hiei and closed her eyes, an eternal enigma lying before her.

A/N: XD YES THAT'S RIGHT!! AKI IS SPENDING SIX MONTHS IN HIEI'S ROOM!!! sigh that's crazy…..XD R&R!!!
