Hey there guys! Im sooooooo sorry for the extremely long wait! I've been caught up in lots of things... I was working on a third fic and suffered a case of writer's block and nearly gave up on this story...
Blizz: Excuses, excuses... just get on with the story... Oh... and ptr doesnt own YYH or anything related, something like that.
Hope in Destiny
Chapter 9: Mental Note...
The hallway had emptied and no one else was around. It seems that someone was in a rush and her and the stranger collided. They collided pretty quickly and some of the things Meilin had been holding that I never mentioned came flying into the air and back down on the floor while the two rolled and slid down the hall; they then crashed into a wall. Hard.
"Ooh… huh?" Meilin moaned and opened her eyes, only to surprise herself.
"Ugh…"
"Nice going, speedy." She glared at him. "Now… can you get off of me?"
"What?" Hiei then took notice of who was speaking to him and where she was. Hastily, he stood up. "Hn…"
"Thanks." She said ungratefully. She looked around and surprised herself again. "Huh? Wait a sec… how did we get all the way down here?"
"Oh yeah… he's the fast one of the group… but I shouldn't lead him on to anything… and I needn't worry about his mind reading."His eyes widened as she pointed down the hallway to her books. They had traveled from the middle of the hall and into the wall. She quickly rushed to retrieve her things and he walked after her.
"Darn it, I could blow my cover. How come I didn't see her?" (Paying attention might help a little…) "Now about those stupid human manners to fix this mess…""Mental note: This one actually is the quiet one."
"You must have been running pretty quickly to cause us to slide that far down the hall…" She bent down to pick up one of the books. "Huh?"
"Here…" Hiei picked up a couple of her notebooks and handed it to her. "Sorry about crashing into you like that…"
The words were forced out just to keep her from being upset and suspicious of him. Hiei could care less about manners, but his cover being blown because of a snooper wouldn't be a good thing. But only if he knew who she really was.
"Now since when did this one apologize to strangers…? Mental note two: Let the fake manners not get in the way…""Uh… thanks and no problem, it's all okay."
"That was close…""Hn…"
Hiei stood up just as she did. A necklace with a diamond on it slipped out from under her shirt and it caught his eye, for the shortest second though. She tucked it in again; the necklace looked oddly familiar, for some reason.
"Oh. I'm Meilin by the way. I thought that you should know your target's name before you crash into them again…" She didn't sound too happy about that. But she had a smile on. He frowned slightly but she was able to tell the difference.
"Hn…"
"You're Hiei I presume." She continued, only receiving silence in return. "I'll take that as a yes."
"Why's he suddenly distant like that… It's getting annoying…"
"Why can't I get into her head, there's something suspicious about her and I don't like it. It's really annoying me…"
It appears that they're both becoming irritable about one another. Both their social statuses in the school isn't that high up and this new meeting isn't helping. Trying to be friends won't really help either. One of the only things these two have in common is that they both know Kurama and Destiny—and each other now. There are several more things and only Meilin knows them—she's a Spirit World Intelligence Agent, remember?
Hiei had also been trying to read her thoughts. She could feel it in her mind and yet he still hasn't been able to penetrate through her mental barrier. It had annoyed her for a while and shortly, it stopped. Hiei had also spotted her necklace pendant. It looked oddly familiar to him. It was a diamond pendant, a rather large one too and a white snake was bound around it and it had an ancient and soothing aura surrounding it. But furthermore, why does she have it?
"There's something about that one that I don't like…" Both thought simultaneously.
"I don't know about you, but," Meilin began, "I'm going to head straight for class before someone finds out about this…" She began walking away as he simply stood there, glaring at her. "This never happened… All right?"
"What never happened?" He inquired flatly. She looked back at him and smirked while he glared in return.
"Mental note three: Smile more often; not only does smiling use less facial muscles, it seems to annoy him."
Then she continued to class, even though she was late. As for Hiei, he frowned upon this and sneaked into class without getting caught.
Blizz: Wow...
What?
Blizz: Nothin...
You're mean.
Blizz: Tell me about it...
Anyway... again im sorry for that long wait, ill try to make it up one way or another... oh and please review! Byebye!
