Chapter Three: Goddess Be In My Thoughts
(Hiei's thoughts)
Why am I so distracted by this girl? Her eyes are so beautiful, sapphire like the gentlest starlight. Wait, what?! What am I thinking?! She's low bred, base born, ningen, damn it! What is wrong with me?
Distraction. Sweet, beautiful distraction. But why? This attraction, this strange desire… this damn jealousy. It's so bizarre....
"You want her," a voice in his mind whispered, "a human girl. You're attracted to her. Say it isn't so."
Attraction… is that all? No, can't be simple attraction, it's too strong. When I look at her, I… I want so very badly to… to… ah, damn her! Damn myself, too. She's so beautiful, so tempting. Melfina…mine. Wait… what did I just say? "Mine?" I must be insane, crazy! The Detective would kill me anyway. Or attempt it. But… why can't I stop thinking about her?
"Maybe you love her."
Ridiculous. She's a fucking human.
"No, seriously." The voice insisted.
I'm not listening to you, you pathetic fool.
"You should be"
I am not in love with a mere ningen whore.
"You're in love with her." The nagging voice said smugly, obviously not willing to drop the subject.
Shut up, I am not!
"Oh? Then go a minute without thinking of her You can't do it, watch.
That's simple. Short, simple thoughts. The stars are out. The sky is blue. Her eyes are a prettier shade than that, though. The moon is full. I never figured out why it's white, like ivory, like her beautiful face. Oh, look, a butterfly?! Delicate, fragile, innocent. Like Melfina… goddammit!
"Ha, that's three times in forty-five seconds. You, Jaganshi, are in love."
No, I'm not!
"Are too."
Am not!
"Stop arguing with yourself and pay attention to more important things. She's got some gorgeous legs, doesn't she?"
Mmm. Wait, ya know, you're not helping! I don't want to look at those beautiful, creamy legs…I'll strangle the first idiotic boy that tries to slip his hand between her them.
"Ooh, someone's getting possessive."
Damn you to Hell.
"Think she's a virgin?"
Not listening! Shut up! Can't hear you, good bye!
"The perfect goddess, isn't she?"
Oh, gods, yes…
