Every time Hiei took Lexis out it was somewhere she had never known existed in here city. He took her to Otter cove, to a place he called Mermaid springs, and he even showed her a waterfall. Now it was the fourth of July and he was over in a tree talking with Kurama who was on the ground. Everyone was waiting for the fire works show to begin and Kurama went off to find Botan. Hiei came over and took her hand and led her back into the shadows. "Good idea." Yusuke said and he and Kuwabara took Yukina and Keiko over into another secluded spot. While the others where interested in the Roman candle fireworks they crept off into the trees. (I guess that Hiei's much more interested in romance when he's in the dark.) Hiei smirked at her unsaid comment. (I'll give her romance.) He thought.
Hiei stood leaning against a big old pine tree and pulled her to him. He leaned down to her ear, "Put your arms around my neck, Lexis. Now kiss me." She did. Lexis had never kissed a boy before. She had always been the kissy not the kisser. Hiei broke the kiss. "You have absolutely no clue what you're doing, do you?" Lexis turned red. "Good because if I find out that any guy has been kissin' on MY girl, I can not be held accountable for my actions." He kissed her then. Hiei parted her lips and dipped his tong into her mouth. Lexis saw more than stars, she saw sunsets and moons. When Hiei finally let her come up for air she thought she'd never catch her breath again. Lexis looked up in to his crimson eyes. "Lets go somewhere fun." He said wiggling his eyebrows at her. Lexis smiled.
Hiei picked her up and through her into the water. Lexis screamed from the icy shock. "I-It's f-freezing!" She gasped. She looked around but couldn't find Hiei. (What the hell?) Suddenly something pulled her under the water. Lexis came up choking and straining to get air. Hiei swam around her in circles.
"What can't swim?" He asked with an innocent look on his face. Lexis scowled and started to swim back toward the shore. "Hm?" She climbed out of the water and onto the damp smooth stones of Otter cove. Hiei caught her arm and pulled her to him. "What?" Lexis only scowled at him. "Oh come on. I didn't mean it." Lexis tried to pull away from his strong hold on her but she would have had better luck trying to bend iron. "I'm sorry." Hiei whispered in her ear. Lexis sighed and looked at him. He looked as if he really meant it. Then she smirked and pushed him into the water. Hiei came up first. "I'll kill 'er." Lexis came up behind him, whistled, and when he turned around splashed water in his face. They had a water fight then Hiei picked her up and carried her into the caves. He set her down but didn't let her go. His hand moved on her face, caressing her, stroking the water from her skin smoothing back her tangled hair. She was trembling, her eyes not meeting his. He moved his hand down, his fingers gentle on her throat, and slow across her wet clothes, across her breasts. "You are beautiful." He whispered.
Briefly her eyes met his, and he saw the wariness there, the longing mixed with fear. Hiei touched her again, and she shook her head and turned away. Confused he took hold of her wrist. He didn't mean to grip her hard, but when she tried to move away he held her more tightly. Suddenly she pulled free, turning on him, afraid and fierce. "Don't touch me!" she shouted. "I'm sorry." She said trembling. "I'm sorry, Hiei."
"Why are you afraid of me? I see it in your eyes. You know I'll never hurt you." (His same words.) Lexis thought. (The exact same words.) Images of her father chasing after her roes in Hiei's mind. He had ripped her night gown in his drunken attempts to touch her flesh. If she hadn't been such a light sleeper… She didn't want to think about he would have done. (Her memories) Hiei thought with furry. (The drunk bastard had tried to-to-) His eyes clouded with rage. Thinking he was mad at her Lexis stepped back. When he had composed himself, Hiei saw the fear in her eyes again. He reached out a hand to her but she shrank back further away from him. Her eyes were starting to have red flints in the deep blue turning them a light purple.
A streak of black went through her hair. Her angel powers where coming out because its mortal form felt threatened and to make matters worst she was being threatened by a demon. (Great.) Hiei thought. (Just what I needed.) "Lexis…Lexis…" Hiei repeated her name over and over again. It made her worst. Lexis's hair turned completely black and her eyes where a blood red. (Blood. Not a good sign.) He thought. "Lexis…"
"My name is not Lexis."
"Who are you then?"
"My name is Rose."
"Rose?"
"Yes, the Black Rose."
(Oh great.) "Well…Black Rose …can I have Lexis back now?"
"Now why would I do that?" she laughed.
"Because I like her better than you?" Black Rose smirked.
"Sorry, Demon. You have endangered your precious Lexis. You must die."
