Hmm…some people are reviewing…so…I guess I'll continue posting! To answer some questions, the Asilin's POV/Dru's POV just indicates who's writing. Eventually we settle on just putting Asilin or Dru. Just so you know. Another thing is that we do have a lot written. It's just that I'm lazy and haven't posted. So I'm going to post a few chapters right now and let you read. Umm…that's about it. Oh! And yeah, we're trying to avoid Mary-Sue-isms. Both Dru and I abhor Mary-Sue's. They're annoying. We just want to be ourselves. Well, that's it.

Chapter Two

General

After Kurama took off, Dru was left alone briefly. In fact, it was just a few minutes later that Hiei stalked up, holding Asilin bridal style. Dru eyed the two of them in disbelief.
Hiei was standing in the middle of the snow with only a tanktop on, while Asilin was unconscious in his arms. Both were covered with light cuts along their arms. But the amazing thing was the fact that Asilin was unconscious. It was a rare thing for her to be like that after a fight, even one with Dru!
Hiei shifted uncomfortably under Dru's scrutiny for a few minutes. When it became apparant that Dru wasn't going to stop, he sighed and set Asilin down on a nearby bench. He then grabbed his cloak and leaned against the railing across from the two women.
Kurama ran up at that moment, holding a strip of gauze. He slowed as he saw Hiei and Dru in a staring match. "Hiei, what happened to Asilin?"
"She tried punching me after I had her pinned to a tree and was clearly the victor. So I knocked her out. She's over there."
Kurama sighed. "Hiei..."
"Hn."
"You don't do that!"
"Hn. I did, and it's done. It'll teach her better manners."

Dru

No one really understood what happened next, not even Dru really. All she felt was an intense emotion or anger and rage and the need to protect her friend. With speed even she didn't know she possessed, Dru stood up, disregarding the pain in her ankle, and held a very shiny Alucard to Hiei's head.
"Listen you punk," she said quietly. "That girl, annoying and obnoxious though she may be, is one of the truest friends I have. I would kill for her, and if you ever, EVER touch her in a way that isn't friendly, you'll find yourself with a silver bullet in your head." Her eyes tried to pierce him, though she doubted it worked. "Do you understand me?"
Hiei said nothing, and Kurama could only watch. Dru, still holding the gun, went to Asilin on the bench, and slung her over her shoulder. She turned back to Hiei one more time, and then turned again.
"Dru, I'm sure he didn't--" Kurama began, and then he found the gun to his throat.
"And you," Dru said. "You think that you can win anyone over, don't you, pretty boy? Well guess what? I don't live alone because I'm waiting to be reached out to. I live alone because I like it. Even if you could reach out to me, I would hurt you." She lowered her voice. "And I don't do that to people who are all ready struggling and hurting."
With that, she withdrew her gun and pointed it to the sky, and went to her motorcylce. She placed her limp friend in front of her, and off they drove on the motorcycle.
Once Dru reached her apartment, she picked up her friend and carried her upstairs.

Asilin

Asilin woke with a moan, her head pounding bloody murder. She tensed, not quite realizing where she was. Then she relaxed as she noticed the familiar paintings of Dru's creation. But how did she get here? Last thing she remembered was Hiei knocking her out for trying to punch him...
"I see you're awake, Kheldarson," her friend's voice called out. Asilin looked over the couch to where her friend was rummaging in the kitchen.
"Yeah. How'd we get here?"
"I got mad at the two losers, so..."
"Please tell me you didn't kill them."
Dru smirked. "Nah. Think I scared pretty boy, though. Hiei didn't even blink when I held Alucard to his head. That's never happened."
"I don't think he's quite human. His speed was amazing!" Asilin's eyes widened in remembrance. "I'm going to beat him someday."
Dru cocked an eyebrow at her friend. "Oh? And how do you plan to do that?"
"More training. What else?" Asilin shrugged. "Anyway, I have to get back to the park." She stood up and grabbed her coat, but fell down as a wave of dizziness hit her.
Dru looked at her friend coldly. "Why do you want to go back there when you can't even stand?"
Asilin glared at her. "I lost three of my daggers. I want them back!" The two just mock-glared at each other until a knock sounded from the front door.

Dru

Dru raised an eyebrow. Asilin looked at her. "It's your door," she said. "You go get it." She popped a grape into her mouth. Dru sighed. She kept Brink tied to her waits, just in case. She tended to get attacked sometimes.
She opened the door and tried not to let her surprise and anger show. There stood Kurama and Hiei. Kurama was smiling and behind his friend.
"What do you want?" Dru growled.
"Just returning some weapons," Kurama said. Hiei was looking past Dru at Asilin. Dru shut the door a bit, eliminating the staring contest. Kurama elbowed his friend, who looked at Dru with narrow eyes.
"Give these to the onna," he said, practically throwing that daggers at Dru. Dru caught them, almost cutting herself, but luckily, she'd been attacked by Asilin with them, so she had a bit of practice catching them.
Dru sighed. "I would invite you in, but I don't like you." And with that, she shut the door. It took a while for it to register that they had found where she lived.
She stalked back to the door and opened it only to find the two still standing there. Pointing Alucard at the smaller and Brink at the taller, she growled. "How did you find out where I lived?"
Kurama laughed a little nervously. "Your motorcycle."
'Damn,' she cursed herself silently. She had forgotten to put it in the basement of the building. She sighed and withdrew her weapons. She sighed.
"Was there something else?"
Kurama smiled again. "Last night put us all in a bad misunderstanding with the others."
"Really? I thought I made myself quite clear. Did I not threaten you with my gun?" Dru asked.
"Dru, just kill them all ready!" Asilin yelled.
"Why that--" Hiei began.
"HEY!" Dru yelled.
Hiei froze. "Hn."
Kurama continued. "We wanted to invite you to dinner tonight. No obligations, you can leave when you like."
Dru sighed. "Will it get you off my door step?"
Kurama nodded.
"Fine. There's a club down the street. We'll meet you in front at seven. If you're late, we're leaving."
Kurama smiled. "All right."
Hiei began walking away, but Kurama lingered. "Dru?"
"What?"
"I'm not going to give up," he said with a smile.
Dru, in response, slammed the door shut.

Asilin

Asilin stared at her friend. "Do you just realize what you've agreed to?"
Dru sighed. "Yes. I'm perfectly aware of what I did."
"But why?!"
"I don't know, damn it! Probably to get them away from here!"
"But why did you choose the club?"
"It's the only place in town that still allows the two of us in there at the same time!"
"Oh yeah..." Asilin stood up. "Well, are you going to give me my daggers?" Dru shrugged and tossed them at Asilin. Asilin, with much more ease, caught them and stowed them away into their various hiding spots. "I guess I better go get ready for tonight. This ought to be interesting. Oh and Dru?" Asilin paused at the door.
"What?"
"Thanks." She disappeared into the hall.
Later
Asilin glanced at herself in the mirror. She'd decided to forgo the usual t-shirt and had grabbed a denim tank top instead. Unlike her friend, she got tired of unrelieved black, which was why she wore the denim. The only problem with the outfit was that she had to leave the two daggers hidden on her back at home. They just didn't fit behind the tank top.
A knock came from the door. Asilin walked over and opened it, while pulling her black hair into a pony tail. Dru was there, dressed in her usual outfit.
"Ready to go?"
"Yeah. By the way, please tell me you left Alucard at home," Asilin looked up at her friend hopefully. "You know it's when you bring Alucard that we get into the most trouble."
"Why should you care?"
"Because I just realized that I don't want to be kicked out off every business place in New York City!"
"It's at home, but you have to leave some of your daggers too."
"I did," she nodded toward her end table where two daggers sat in their sheaths. "So we gonna go?"
"Yeah." The two walked out the door.

Dru

Dru shifted and sighed in frustration. She looked down at the silver pocket watch. "They have exactly sixteen seconds to get here, or I'm leaving," she said.
Asilin smiled. "Maybe their clocks and your watch don't coincide."
Dru scoffed. "Like I care."
"So, you decided to show up, eh?" Hiei's voice resounded from just down the street.
"!" Dru sighed, shoving the watch into her pocket.
"You don't seem happy to see me, onna," Hiei said to Asilin.
"That's because I'm not."
"Hn."
"Children, play nice. Asilin, remember that this is one of the last places we're allowed to eat at," Dru said, beginning to walk in. Kurama followed Dru in. "Table for four," Dru said.
The woman raised an eyebrow. "Oh, miss Dru, haven't seen you in a while."
Dru grinned. "Don't worry. Strictly pleasure cruise."
The woman nodded, but her face reamined pale. "This way, please," she said, leading the four to a table near the front. Asilin and Hiei were arguing behind them. Dru went to go sit, and found Kurama holding her chair out.
"Don't do that," Dru said.
Kurama only smiled. "Just being polite."
"It's getting on my nerves."
Kurama shrugged. "Humor me," he said.
Dru sighed and sat down. "You're going to be dead before the night's over."

A few minutes had passed. Hiei and Asilin had gone to the bar to try to sneak some drinks--they finally found something to do except argue--leaving Dru with Kurama. He left for a minute, and because of the intense heat beginning to radiate throughout the club, Dru decided to shed her coat, thus wrapping Brink within it to keep her from being thrown out.
she felt two eyes on her back. "Stop staring," Dru commanded, taking a drink.
Kurama came around and sat in front of her. "I'm sorry. I was just admiring your wings. Who did those?"
Her eyes fell slightly and she took another drink. "A friend."
"Your friend is talented."
"Yeah, he was."
Kurama tried to read her face, but saw nothing. "Was?"
"He's dead."
"Oh."
Dru said nothing for a moment. She sighed. "Where do you think those two went? They've been gone an awfully long time."

Asilin

Asilin glanced back to their table. 'Amazing,' she thought. 'Dru actually took off her cloak.'
"Onna, what are you staring at?" Hiei's slurred voice asked.
"Can't hold your liquor, can you shorty?" Asilin responded.
"I'm not short!"
"Then quit calling me onna!" The two glared at each other.
"Hn." Hiei broke away first. Asilin smirked in victory.
Just then, the song that was playing caught her attention. Smirking again, she turned to Hiei and whispered, "Want to dance?" His crimson eyes met her grey ones, and he nodded.
He led her out onto the dance floor almost gently before grabbing her roughly to him. The music flooded over them as the moved in a dance almost as dangerous as the one from the day before.

I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...

The other couples on the floor gaped at the rough dance the two competed in, at how they tried to gain dominance over one another without tearing each others throats out. Grey eyes flashed at crimson ones, and crimson eyes met the gaze without flinching.

I see... the blood all over your hands...
does it make you feel... more like a man...
was it all... just a part of your plan...
this pistol's shakin' in my hands...
and all I hear is the sound...

Asilin was amazed at how Hiei was making her feel. She was struggling for a dominance she always had had before, but was failin miserably. Yet, somehow, she didn't care. And that made her struggle even more for control.

I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take anymore...
this life of solitude...
I pick myself off the floor...
and now I'm done with you...
Always...
Always...
Always...

Hiei grabbed her chin and pulled her into a rough kiss. She stiffened in shock but, strangely, relaxed after a few seconds
