Chapter 5

We end up in a field. Him standing not to far from where I was sitting playing with the stray weeds. I could feel the energy but it hadn't changed in a while. I look up at him and I had to smile. Though he seemed like jut another punk with nothing to back up the dry threats with, Hiei could surprise you some times. I knew that already, and I've only known him about a week.

He stands with his arms at his sides and his legs apart, eyes closed. This was what I though of when someone said the word power. You could see the few light scars on his shoulder and arms. Nothing compared to what a human would have with the same puncture wounds and gashes.

The power would go up every so often and I would keep an eye on him. There were dark circles forming on his arms. I didn't understand them but my mouth was refusing to ask him.

Within a few more minutes the rings had darkened and his power was steadily climbing now. They were taking a shape on his arms. I stand up and walk over to where he was standing. I look at his arms and almost reach out to touch the skin that seemed to be turning into black dragons circling his arms. As my hand gets closer a green tint in the dragons seems to move to where my finger as closest. I move my hand up and down his arm and the light follows.

I look up at him. His face as painted on as ever, emotionless and mindless. I look at him and after a minute his power jumps again and his eyes open lowly. I watch him and he smiles looking back at me. "Got you," He whispers and I stand back as his spirit aura grows and turns a dark green around him. He turns away from me and lifts his left hand forward. The dragon seems to crawl along his skin and into his hand catching fire and gathering above his palm.

"Couldn't kill that damn Nightmare, so I used it." I walk up next to him and could feel that energy that seemed like the same energy that I felt every day from my own body. I smile and the fire leaps from his hand and jumps forward shaped like a dragon's head and flies over the field. I smile still able to feel the Nightmare in him. He ends the dragon and it crawls back along his arms becoming silent and unmoving again.

I smirk a little and it soon widens into a smile, "Why do they feel the need to bran the people they help?" He looks at me weird and looks even more confused at my smile.

"What?" I close my eyes for a second and let the energy that the Nightmare had given me run through me it jumps from my back almost lifting me off the ground and turns to black tinted blue flames jumping in both of my hands. I quickly spreads from my hands to the ground and burns the field straight out in a circle. I smile wickedly and I could feel him back away a little even as his foot slides through the flames unharmed. They wouldn't hurt something they had helped. He smiles and walks up to me in the fire.

I let the flames go and he smiles as I fall back to earth, I look at him my smirk back. "Some times I can smile. But it's still asking a lot." He nods.

"I get it." I nod and look around the perfectly burned field.

"Let's get out of here." He nods and follows me back to my bike. I let him drive, I had some thinking to do. Now that the Nightmare had marked someone else, what did that mean? Was he like me now? I don't think so, because he molded the power that I had already forced into him.

But as we pull back into the driveway, I had already told him he could stay here, I though this back through and had to shake my head a couple times.

I let it go and tell him to sleep in the guest room. He looks at me weird and I nod. I then walk into my room and promptly fall asleep. He could figure it out himself.

The next morning when I woke up I found the note Yusuke and Kurama had left after our disappearing act. But it would seem that Hiei had gotten bored and doodled on it. I didn't want to go to school, so I didn't. I hadn't twice already.

It felt like I was falling back into my demonic life. But I knew that was so much different than this. I could hide it all I wanted, there were people here I didn't know that knew what I was now. I could wait for Nails to walk through that door again and I could wait for her to come back into my life now, as it were I didn't need the Saints still.

I was a Saint and always would be to most people. But I would not become my mother. Her Saint life had eluded her and it cost here her life. Though she had been one of my father's 'favorites', that never matted to me. She was still a whore to a ruler, not a father.

I walk to the door of the guest room and look in at him. Just lied on top of the covers and face down, looked like he had just passed out there. I had to fight not to laugh at him. I shrug and walk back to the kitchen.

If not school what was there to do? Not much in this town. Ok that wasn't true, just not for a demon. I smile, 'Wonder what Yusuke's doing?' I eat something get dressed in proper clothes and write a note for Hiei. Then quickly take off for the arcade.
