Chapter 2
Forgotten Letter
"So... Hiei right?" she said, I did not look at her. We were sitting in the park bench and there was the light a few feet away from us. There were stars up in the sky. I was not interested with the stars. I was interested in keeping my eyes closed. I felt her shrug and look up. I guessed she was looking at the stars.
I am now guessing you are wondering how she found me. Well, one thing is for sure, never underestimate a very angry woman, much less a very angry girl.
"Hn." I said hoping that she would just bug away. She got the message. She stood up and walked away. I did not worry. Using my Jagan, I found out that she was lying down by the grass staring at the stars. From the looks of it, she was tracing the stars with her fingers. I decided to ask her some things.
I immediately ran to her with my fast speed and it looked like I just appeared there. Shamel opened one eye, saw it was me and closed it again. She was humming a song to herself.
I sat down beside her. Nothing much, I mean, where do you think I could sit? On her? Behind her? On a stone five hundred yards away?
I stared at her to know who was the person I was to 'protect'. She was an average second year like Yusuke and had a faint aura around her. I still thought that she was weak until I remembered when she struggled to carry twelve heavy ningen grocery bags.
It was a strange thought. I wanted to leave her here. She looked as if she could handle herself. It seemed like a great thing to do.
"Where did Tiho go?" she asked. I shrugged. Not that it mattered. Her eyes were closed and would just think that he did not answer.
"Hn." I said, out of old habit. Again, I had the sudden urge to leave her alone. I felt like going to Mukuru. I mean, Mukuru was the second thing I had to have to a 'mother' but not really a mother.
"Um, Hiei? Where do you live?" she asked. I stared at her wondering what kind of a way that was to start a topic.
"Uh,"
"I don't live here." she said, "I miss my country, everything. Ok, so Japan is nice but there is nothing like home!"
"Um, where do you live?" I asked feeling awkward for asking a question. Kurama warned me not to leave her and said that he will hate me for life if I did a thing as that. I think that when he said that, he did not really mean it but still... I want to be sure.
"Philippines." she said.
"Plipi- what?"
She giggled. "Philippines." she said. "I'm a demon, half-demon from the Philippines." she said.
"Hn."
She giggled. I stared at her and the thing that caught my eyes was her eyes. It sparkled as she spoke. It always did. It was what I deeply admired form her. It proved that she was full of emotion... whatever. How would I know? All I know that she has this eyes that sparkle and sparkle and to me, it was rare. It was like a jewel, a jewel that sparkled endlessly.
I had seen demons and humans and it was very rare to see eyes like those. I suddenly had the urge to pull her eyes out, place it in a bottle, and mark it as a trophy. I hit my head for such a thought.
***
A few years have passed since we had met. Kurama, Shamel, and I had become the best of friends. If possible, we three had become soul mates. Yusuke once declared that he never saw one without the other. I grinned at the comment.
Shamel was past sixteen and so was 'Suiichi'. They already in done with High School and Shamel was already a Spirit Detective like us. We had gone through many missions and passed many of tests and we still hung on unlike some people...
"Kuwabara! How could you!" Yusuke shouted as Kuwabara nearly dropped new cellphone. No, ok, so at first it did not drop but the second time, it did drop. Now, Kurama, Shamel, and I were staring at the remnants of Yusuke's cellphone.
"Eh?" Kuwabara said. Then he eyed the cellphone. "Eeep!" he shouted as he stepped on a broken plastic. "Ow! Yusuke! Why did you leave your cellphone on the floor?" Kuwabara shouted as he nursed a bruised foot. We were at Genkai's temple having fun, although not my idea of fun, but they said it was.
Shamel and Tiho were going back to the Philippines tomorrow. Both of them had their backs packed and ready to go. Now, they were ready to go the next day. I admit that Kurama and I felt bad that she had to leave. I mean she has been part of our lives and she will gone for three years. Great. Not only that, Mukuru gave me another mission in the far regions of the Makai. The truth was, the thing that was bothering me was that Kurama and I might never see Shamel again.
That was why I decided to come along. They were all throwing 'party poopers' around and throwing white pudding around. I got hit square in the face.
"In your face Hiei!" Shamel said as she threw at me another paper plate filled with the white stuff. I caught it in my hand. "Ooopsie..." she said before running behind Kurama. Kurama laughed as Shamel and I began running around him. I was holding the pudding and Shamel was trying to escape from what she called the "pudding of doom!"
I threw it at Shamel but she dodged and it hit Yukina! Oh no! My mind was racing frantically as Yukina took the paper plate off her face and liked the pudding around her lips. "Not bad." she said as she tasted it.
Slowly, she walked towards me. I felt like backing away and I only managed one step. I wanted to run not because I was scared of Yukina but she was my sister and she does not know that and... My mind was thinking of the reasons that whether I should go or not. I gulped as Yukina was in front of me with a determined look in her face.
"Y-Yukina-"I cut off as Yukina hit me square in the face with a pudding she was hiding behind her back. I was surprised at the thought and I looked down to her only to find her giggling.
"FOOD FIGHT!" Kuwabara shouted as he started pelting all of us with what seemed to be a never-ending launch of the white pudding in paper plates. We dodged and some were hit. I was not. I was busy doing something else.
So he continued the never-ending assault and I was nearly hit when Kuwabara discovered something. He had run out of pudding. I smirked at him. I had ten white puddings in my arms and so were the others. We were all covered with the white stuff and looked dangerous to Kuwabara.
"Welcome to the party Kuwabara." Genkai said. Then she shouted the magic word, "FIRE!"
We pelted Kuwabara with the pudding and I was so sure that I made it as strong as I could. Soon, Kuwabara was covered in pudding, his eyes were the only ones being seen, and it was blinking. Everyone was laughing and I smirked at him.
"Not bad Kuwabara." I said as I looked at him shaking the pudding away like a dog. I covered my face to avoid being hit with the pudding. My arm was covered in pudding. Oh well, life's like that. I grinned at the thought. Shamel would usually say that and I guess I had grown fond of saying it.
***
"Um, Hiei?" Shamel said as we were all at the airport. Kurama, Yusuke, and Kurama were somewhere out there with all the girls and saying goodbye to each other and slapping each other's backs.
"Hn?"
"Here." she said as she handed me a gift. It was a rectangular box. I stared at it. "I gave Yusuke and the others some gifts but well, yours is special," she said as she blushed a bit hoping that I did not see it. I did see it.
I looked around the box and shook it so as not to offend her feelings into thinking I did not like it. I heard a faint tinking. "Um, Sham? What is it?" I asked.
She smiled not looking at me. "Um, can you promise not to look at it till I leave?" she said. I looked at her and wondered what she was up too. She was acting strange. She was acting more strange when she ran back to genkai.
"Uh Shamel! What do I do after?" I shouted after her however she was already far from me and was talking to Genkai. I shrugged not really wanting to use my Jagan to read her mind. I placed the gift inside my pocket.

"So, did you give the gift and the letter to him?" Genkai asked Shamel. Shamel nodded. She was still blushing.
"Genkai, I'm scared." Shamel said, "I love Hiei already and well, I'm too scared to say anything." she said.
"Don't worry Sham." Genkai said as she stroked Shamel's hand, "Hiei will read it and we'll see what happens."
"What if he says no?" Shamel asked, a voice of worry in her voice.
"Love does not matter. You have written him a letter from the heart and whatever happens, as long as you do it from the heart, nothing matters and it will live through hardships and pains." Genkai said comforting Shamel. Shamel gave a bright smile and hugged Genkai.
"Oh thank you Genkai!" Shamel said as she hugged Genkai. "Thank you ever so much!" she gave her a light kiss on the cheeks. Genkai patted her head warmly.
"Will the passengers of flight 701 go now to Gate 3. The flight will leave in twenty minutes." came the voice that echoed through the airport.
"Shamy!" Tiho called, "Time to leave already!" he said.
"It's Shamel! NOT Shamy!" Shamel called back. Then to Genkai, "Ok Genkai, I have to go now. Bye! Hope to see you again!"
"Wait Shamel! I have something to give to you!" Genkai called to her. Shamel looked confused but walked to Genkai. Genkai placed something around her neck. It was a necklace. It was a light-blue gem shaped like a blue tear.
"Oh thank you Genkai!" Shamel said as she admired the pretty gem.
"Shamy!" Tiho called again, "The plane will leave in five minutes!"
"Bye Genkai." Shamel said to her. Genkai nodded as she watched Shamel run towards Tiho. Hiei walked beside Genkai.
"Well, looks like we will never see her again." Hiei said as he watched the plane leave after five minutes.
"I don't know." Genkai said, "Well, who knows?" she stated as she watched the plane slowly disappear.
"Who wants to watch a movie at my house?" Yusuke shouted. Everyone said yes except Hiei who said Hn. Kurama dragged Hiei to Yusuke's house and they watched a movie. They had popcorn and stuff and occasionally, Hiei tried to sneak away but was blocked by either Koenma, Botan, Kurama, or Yukina. Therefore, he stayed there until the movie was done and Genkai, Yukina, and Hiei went back to the temple.
That night, Hiei changed his clothes and did not notice the square bump in one of his pockets. He hid the clothes in the closet not wanting to wash it, picked another shirt, and fell asleep.
The letter and the gift was left forgotten. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::
Chapter 2 done. The real stuff will happen in the succeeding chapters. This chapter was like a prologue or something. What will happen to the Shamel's letter? This whole story will revolve mostly about the this letter. It will be the source of all trials and hardships, of pain and happiness, of joy, grief, and it has to be at the right hands for peace to reign again. Review!
