When You Can't See The Light

Chapter Twelve : Let's Go, Together

Normal POV

Snow crunched underneath his feet. Snow fell silently onto his raven black hair as he walked, slowly approaching a lone village in the distance.

Flashback

"We've sent someone and found his base four hundred meters east of the Glacial Village. It seems all the villagers were kidnapped." Kurama's voice was as serious as ever.

"We cannot attack while they have a hostage, so Hiei will go in alone for the time being." Mukuro informed the troops. "Until then, rest and gain your strength. When Hiei gives the signal we will attack."

Kurama handed Hiei a small device similar to Botan's compact. "Call us when she's safe with you."

"Hn. Will you be able to handle it all while I'm gone?"

"They are weak, most of their soldiers were killed in the first attack. But with Botan, they seem to have an upper hand. Once you have her, we should have no problem."

"Don't die, I wouldn't want to search for a new heir." Mukuro smirked.

"Hn."

End Flashback

Hiei walked through the abandoned town. It was like the first time he had come, instead there were absolutely no villagers left. He walked pasted a stone, a gravestone. His fingers traced the cold Makai lettering engraved onto the thick stone. He continued to walk, his black cloak ruffling in the fierce wind.

Botan continued to sob onto to bed. 'I can't mop forever...' She sniffed and stood up. 'I have to be strong, I have to get out of here.' She stealthily tip-toed to the door and peeked out. The guard was sleeping peacefully and she grinned to herself. 'Easy!' She opened the door a little wider so she could slip through. The guards eyes shot open and slammed the door on her face. "Can't slip through me, girly!" He laughed heartily. Botan pouted as she rubbed the sore spot on her face. She walked to the single window and looked down again. 'There's no way I'll be able to climb down...' She went back into the exotic room, plopped onto the bed, and screamed into the pillow. She threw a fit.

"Stupid Hiei! Where are you!" She threw the pillow to the wall, hard. She slumped down to the ground. Tears began to form in her eyes. "I DON'T WANNA MARRY THAT GUY!" She wailed. "And... sniff... I never... got a change to tell you... sniff how I feel."

Botan's POV

The door swung open loudly. "Crying because you miss me, my queen?" I wrinkled my nose in disgust. Rusaki. I nearly gagged. I hated this guy! I wiped my tears with my sleeve. "As if I'd miss you, you jerk!" I threw a pillow at him, which he caught with ease. "Go away!"

"But we need to plan the wedding!" He was utterly creepy, giving me chills when he touched my arm with his hand.

"Don't touch me!" His eyes darkened.

"I see... You're waiting for Mukuro's hier! Hana said something was going on between you two." He smirked. "But I'll change that..." He pulled closer to me. I back to the wall, frightened. I didn't know what to do, so...

BAM!

I had materialized my metal bat and had smacked Rusaki in the head, causing him to go swirly eyed. "Oooppss..." I sweat dropped. 'Wait! This is my chance to escape!' I dashed to the door and looked for the guard. 'Bingo! He's not here! LUCKY!' I practically flew down the steps of the stairs. Once I reached the last step, I was staring into ice blue. "GAHHH!"

"I knew you'd try to escape," Kiyo smirked. "Now I can finish what I started!" He took out a pocket knife. He licked the blade of it. I shivered.

"Stay away! I'mm wwwaarrnning yoouuuu!" My voice was so shaky, I was exactly the first time I had met him. I had my bat up in defense, hoping I would be able to fend him off. In seconds my bat was in two pieces. I panicked and ran as fast as I could. I heard his foot steps behind me, feeling them get closer. I randomly ran into a room and shut the door behind me. My weight was against the door and I also put my ear to it, listening to steps faintly disappearing. I let out a relieved sigh and took a couple of steps before bumping into something. My bad, someone. My eyes grew wide as I slowly lift my head to see who I bumped into. My face drained of it's color.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" He said icily causing my eyes to tear up. I fell to the ground. He raised the knife and prepared to slice me into a million pieces. I shut my eyes tightly and waited for pain... Clink! Kiyo's knife was blocked by a katana.

Normal POV

"You give up too easily onna."

Botan looked at her sweet savior. "Hiei..." Hiei pushed Kiyo back with his sword.
Kiyo growled at Hiei. "So you're Mukuro's hier?"

"Hn. Got a problem?" He grunted.

"I'll have fun killing you."

"That should be my line!" They lunged at each other, blades clashing endlessly. Botan watched helplessly at the two black shadows. It seemed to go on for hours, but in fact it had only been a couple of minutes. She felt her heart stop when she saw some blood on the ground. 'Oh no. Hiei!' He had stopped right in front of her. Kiyo was on the other side of the room, bleed profusely from his stomach.

"You don't have much faith in me, do you onna?" His brow went up at the end of the question. Botan sat there, flabbergasted.

"Damn... you." Kiyo coughed up blood, clenching his stomach. The doors opened. Rusaki stepped inside and glared at Botan. "Lord Rusaki!" Kiyo looked up at his master. He didn't even look at him and walked straight to Hiei and Botan. Botan hid behind Hiei, who was giving Rusaki his best death glares. Hana came in and blocked Rusaki.

"Move Hana." His voice was cold.

"But I won't let them kil-" He smacked her and sent her flying. She sobbed. "O..Onii-chan."

"Don't you see you silly girl! I'm not your real brother, I killed him years ago! Now that I have what I need, your of no use to me." She didn't take it well and sat wailing in the corner of the room. "Foolish girl." Hiei growled, he was really getting on Hiei's nerves.

"You bstrd." Hiei's youki shot up. Rusaki just smirked evilly. "I wouldn't be laughing if I were you." Without warning his katana flew into Rusaki's side. "Your not even worth my youki." He was so fast Rusaki didn't know what hit him as he fell to the ground, leaving a pool of thick, red blood.

"You..." He was so surprised. Hiei's eyes were burning with rage, but seemed to calm down when he felt Botan's hand on his arm. He looked at Hana, who was still crying.

"Stop crying." She stopped automatically. "This piece of trash isn't worth crying over." She looked at him questionably, but when she understood, her eyes filled with determination. Hana nodded letting him know she understood. Hiei looked at Botan and she smiled at him.

"Let's go."
