I love you… Wait! You killed my fiancé?

Chapter 1: Trying to move on

For the next week, Aiko decided to try and date other guys to move on. That didn't work out how she hoped. The first guy seemed nice but he already had a girlfriend; Aiko didn't want to be with a player. The next guy kept talking about himself, as if he didn't notice Aiko was there. The third guy kept staring at her chest. After that she thought she should just give up.

She saw a bar was open tonight and thought maybe alcohol could drown her problems. She went to the door and the man asked for her id. In demon years, she was way over the age you had to be to drink but in human years she was underage, even though only by a year. She took out a fake id that she often used and the person outside the bar merely nodded. She walked inside and saw a huge crowd of people. She went straight to the counter and says, "Sake, please."

The bartender was quite young. He only looked like he was 20 at the most. He had short dark brown hair and electric blue eyes. He smiles and nods at Aiko. He hands her the drink and says, "So Babe, a girl like you got a boyfriend?" Aiko spit out her sake and says, "What?" with a red face. "I'll take that as a no. So are you looking for someone?" he says in a flirty way. "Yeah, but that someone isn't you," said Aiko rather curtly, the tinge of red on her cheeks disappearing. "You're a feisty one," he says mocking her. Aiko glared at him and drank more sake.

She leaned against the counter watching the humans dance. She was a water demon and she only danced outside in the rain. Humans usually danced to music from a stereo or something of the sort; to Aiko, the sound of the storm was music enough for her. Soon she sensed another demon in the building. They were getting closer and closer. Aiko was prepared to fight if necessary. Then again, why would a demon come to a bar? The thought puzzled the water demon.

She saw the demon that walked closer had the appearance of a human, like herself. They had black hair almost shaped like a flame, eyes the color of blood, and they were wearing all black, except for a white bandana. Aiko felt something strange as she looked at him. It was a feeling. The same feeling she got when she first met Sniper. She hoped Sniper she'd forgive her for thinking that this guy was pretty good-looking. He asked for vodka and then leaned against the counter, beside Aiko.

She looks at him and says, "Hi, I'm Aiko." He looks back at her and says, "Hiei." "Nice to meet you Hiei," she says. "Likewise," says Hiei. Aiko looks over at the humans and sees a sight that made her upset on the inside, yet also repulsed. A male human and a female human were against the wall, kissing as though their lips had been glued together. Aiko felt sad because it made her think of all the times she was with Sniper. But she and Sniper had the decency to kiss in private and not make out for the world. She sipped her drink venomously.

Hiei looked over at Aiko. She had a bitter face on her as she sipped her sake. Hiei smirked at her. She was even cuter when she was angry. Hiei then mentally scolded himself for the thought. He then wondered why a water demon would come to a human bar. He came to escape his idiotic comrades, Yusuke and Kuwabara. He then turned away from the girl and started drinking his vodka.

Aiko felt somewhat left out not dancing like the humans, but she never really liked associating with humans. The only human she ever wanted to be near was Sniper. She decided instead of dancing, she'd keep herself busy by drinking and talking to Hiei.

Hiei felt himself inside wanting to be near Aiko. He saw her order another drink and so he got one too. This way, he had an excuse for being around her. The two drank and talked for a long time; the bartender was really jealous of Hiei since he thought Aiko was hot. Soon both demons were drunk and then Linkin Park's "Faint" started blasting through the speakers. Aiko says, "I love this song. Let's dance."

She drunkenly grabbed for Hiei's hand but he grabbed hers. They both went onto the dance floor and started dancing to the song. After the song was over, they both leaned against a wall. Soon a really cute guy walked up to Aiko and he says, "Hey Cutie, wanna dance?" Hiei growls at him and says, "Back off, she's mine!" The guy was intimidated by the rage in Hiei's eyes so he ran off.

Then Aiko started laughing. "What's so damn funny?!" says Hiei. Aiko then says, "You. Since when am I yours?" Hiei pushes her against the wall and says, "Since now, got a problem?" Aiko smiles and shakes her head. "Good," says Hiei. Then he leaned forward and kissed her(remember, they're both really drunk).

Aiko put her arms around his neck and kissed him back. Hiei broke and Aiko wanted to tease Hiei; he was just so darn adorable when he was mad. Aiko says, "Not bad, but my ex-boyfriend's better at kissing than you." Hiei's eyes burn with anger. He then kisses Aiko again, this time a little more forceful. He presses his tongue through her lips and explores her mouth.

Aiko let her tongue play with Hiei's and Hiei held Aiko even tighter. After five more minutes, Hiei breaks and says, "Better than that?" breathlessly. Aiko shakes her head and says, "Nope, you win," and smiles. Hiei smiled back at her. As the bar was closing Aiko says, "Will I see you again?" Hiei says, "I don't know. Goodbye Aiko." He then kisses her cheek. "Goodbye Hiei," she says as her left her in the dark.

Aiko managed to get home and she felt really sick. She ran into the bathroom and threw up. She managed to get to her room and passed out on her bed. Before falling into a drunken sleep she whispers, "Hiei…"
