"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Roumer asked, putting her thumbs in her pockets and letting her hands hang down. Hiei looked at Roumer and took a deep breath. "Um." Snickering came from behind a bush near them. Hiei growled and glared at the bush. Kuwabara sat up, wearing an army helmet, which the front part of his hair was sticking out of, full army face paint, and a toy rifle in his hand. Roumer looked at Kuwabara and squeaked, frightened, as she covered her head. A shadow figure rose from her body, wearing black tennis shoes, black baggy legged jeans, a black shirt with the long sleeves ripped on top, and black fingerless gloves, the same things what Roumer's wearing only black. Kuwabara stared at the shadow figure, and hid back into the bush, dropping the toy gun. Hiei looked at the shadow figure, and raised an eyebrow. The shadow figure's eyes were like a night sky: Dark black-blue with small white twinkling dots, with a sliver of the moon showing in the middle, the curved side of it's left eye facing right, and it's right eye, facing left. Hiei's eyes grew wide, the closed, as he took a step back, drawing his Shinto. He growled. The shadow figure looked at Hiei, and stepped aside from Roumer. Her body fell limply to the floor. Hiei growled even louder, jumped, and tried attacking the shadow, but the shadow's hands caught the blade on both sides, and held it there. "Who are you? What have you done with Roumer!" Hiei snapped, growling. It's eyes softened. 'I am Roumer.' It said in Hiei's mind, echoing. It let go of the sword blade, and took a step towards him. Hiei stood where he was, and sheathed his sword. The shadow took another step forward and held her hands out to Hiei. 'Come here.' It said. Hiei took a step closer, then another until their hands touched. He stepped closer, as Kuwabara popped his head out of the bush, watching. When He got close enough, the shadow wrapped its arms around Hiei, and held him close. Hiei let Roumer embrace him. The shadow figure slowly faded away.
Roumer's eyes slowly opened, then closed. She sat up, and yawned. She rubbed her eyes, and looked at Hiei. "What happened?" She asked, and pushed herself to a stand. Hiei looked at Roumer. "Are you a demon?" Hiei asked, and walked to Roumer. She rubbed her forehead. She took a deep breath. "Erm… Yeah…" She mumbled, and crossed her arms. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you… It's just that… It's a secret… I didn't even tell my best friend…" "You mean that girl who keeps calling you Ruu?" "Yeah."
As they walked home, they told each other funny people, places and things that happened to them. "I told my friend that I wasn't going to crash her bike, but soon enough, when I tried stopping on that hill, the bike flipped. It fell on my legs." "Yikes." Hiei said, wincing at the thought. Roumer looked at the pathway to her house's front door. She smiled at Hiei. "I'll see you tomorrow, okay?" Hiei nodded.
