Chapter
11: An Amazing Waste of a Day Off
Sae unable to sleep any longer walked down the stairs groggily from lack of sleep, only to be greeted by an also sleepless Hiei sitting on the couch. At the site of him she turned away and walked out of the door, she couldn't bear to speak to him. Hiei blinked, he assumed her behavior was a sign of anger towards his actions last night. He debated with himself wether or not to go and apoligize.
She walked farther past the forest to the clearing she had been at last night; her favoritspot here. Staring at her reflection in the river. Fir the second time she felt helpless enough to cry, she manged to hold back tears. She wan't Hiei to like her so badly, but that was never going to happen in her opinion. Hiei was in her veiw, one of the greatest men she had evr known. He was strong, smart, yet so cold and distant; she was nothing compared to him. She sighed silently, but then heard a rustle in the bushes. Faking a cold tone she turned and asked "Who's there?"
A dark figure ran behind her and covered her mouth so she couldn't scream, then grabbed her sword sheat that way laying nearby on the ground and knocked her unconcious. He smirked, leaving a neatly folded note. He'll find it, he'll fall for the trap. Smirking again, the demon picked up the girl and walked away.
Hiei had decided, he would go talk to her. she was probobly furious at him for last night, he had to go and apoligize. He grabbed his cloak before heading out and slipped it on. He followed her faint scent to the spot she had been the previous night, but she was nowhere in sight. Spoting the note on the ground, he picked it up and began to read it.
"I've taken you girl. If you wish to get her back, follow her scent to the designated spot. Do not bring anyone with you, or she'll die for sure"
The note said noting more. Hiei growled and shreaded the note into a million peices, but resumed following Sae's scent. Making sure not to lose the scent, Hiei ran slightly slower, the terrian vaired, from wading across a rushing river her scent lead him to a valley. Walking down, he spotted aa cave and was then brought to it by her scent. This must be what the letter was talking about. he told himself. Gipping his katana handle rather tightly, Hiei was glad he brought it, he'd need it. THUD The sound of cascading rocks filled the cave with thunderous noise. When the dust had cleared, he found that the rock slide had blocked.
Hiei didn't worry about this, he'd be able to get out once he reached Sae, he was strong enough to. As his eyes adjusted to the dark he madeut to figures. One was a tall demon, short black hair and steel black eyes. Next to him, Sae was chained to the cave wall, Her eyes were closed and hee ears laid back. The man was holding her sword and smiling. Hiei growled "If you did anything to her I'll-""Relax." he cut in "She only knocked out. But you shouldn't have come, you've fallen right into my trap,"
Hiei grolwed and drew his katana "What do you mean trap?" he asked in a testy voice. the other boy unsheathed Sae's sword. "I mean" he replied pointing to the closed entrance of the cave "When I kill you I make my escape, I contol those rocks. "You're foolish!, I won't be defeated by some lowlife demon!" Their swords clashe as Hiei lunged in to attack. They fought for some time when Sae awoke. "Hiei?" Hiei glanced over at her for a second, glad to see that she was awake,, but that was a mistake.
The demon slipped a dagger out of his pocket and plinged it into his stomach, Hiei fell down to the ground and the demon smirked "I'll deal with you later, before you die you must die knowing your girlfriend is dieing along with you. He picke up her sword and swung at her head. As a last resort, she ducked and insted, her chains were cut, unbinding her from the wall.
Running up to the demon thoughtlessly, she attacked. As she punched and kicked rapidly she got many cuts and slash marks, but she didn't seem to care for the world. Looking at Hiei her motivation seemed to increase.
She growled at the advancing demon, her eyes glowing blood red, "NOW YOU PAY!!" in a quuik movement she pried her own sword from his grip and growled "Prepare to die........" she said in a soft voice. In a swift movement, she stabbed the demon in the heart, he fell over dead immidietly.
Hiei got up and looked at her, she looked as if she was about to faint. In out of breath tone she asked "Hiei are you alright" Hiei looked at his wound, it had almost stopped bleeding and it wasn't bothering him. "Nah." She actually smiled, "Good, I'm glad." with that her knees gave out and she collapsed in a dead faint. Hiei managed to catch her in his arms and then pick her up bridal style as he carried her out of the cave, following the ppath home.
When he walked into the cabin everyone stared. They were in the process of greeting Yukinna Keiko, and Shizuru. All Botan managed to ask in a shocked tone of voice "Hiei! What in Kami(god)-sama's name happened?" Hiei set her down gently on the couch, not bothering to answer her question. "Yukina, may you heal her please?" Kurama asked in his ever polite and kind voice. Yukina just nodded and proceeded in healing her.
Hiei walked to his room before anyone could notice he was also injured. Hastily he took off his shirt and wrapped a bandage around it then sipped on a new shirt. Walking out, he saw Yukina had finished healing Sae. Kurama smiled her and thanked her kindly for her help while Kuwabara went to go talk excitedly to her.
While everyone went to leave Sae in peace, Hiei sat at her side. Secretly, he swore to himself not to leave that spot until she had waken. Hours passed and everyone went to bed, Hiei remained at her side, praying thatt worst hadn't happened. She opened her eyes to see Hiei, almost ready to burst into tears uf frustration, looking angry and worried. She blinked and askeed in a concerned tone "Hiei?" He looked almost joyful, embracing her for a second, but realizing his actions and releasing her.
He decided, he couldn't deny his love for her, he had to tell her, or he'd be misserable forever, at least to hear that she actually hated him would be better. He hated having the false hope of her actually liking her back." Thinking for a minute, he asked in the most casual tone he could muster "Uhh.... Want to goo for a walk?" She smiled "Sure Hiei. They walked out the door, walking sside by side they both gazed at the sky. He sighed and forced himself to say "S-Sae I have something I need to tell you." She looked shocked, this was the first time he had ever adressed her by name. still she smiled and nodded
