Chapter 5: Secrets...

Hiei cursed and chased Kya through the temple and following Kurama's and Genkai's advice, they took it outside before breaking anything and being forced to do chores to pay back for it. Hisa couldn't help but smile at the reaction of her... new friends? The boy with gelled hair was laughing his head off, holding his lungs; the carrot top was watching their every move and the red head shook his head in amusement.

'They do seem like nice people...' she thought while getting out of bed, realizing she still had her bloody clothes on. The girl with sea green hair she had seen before came in the room followed by an abnormal preppy girl with long sky blue hair in a pony tail and shining cotton candy eyes.

"Hello, you must be Hisa!" said Botan while shaking Hisa's hand with too much energy. Hisa stared at her nodding slowly, "Oh of course how silly of me to not introduce myself. I'm Botan, grim reaper to Spirit World." she continued letting go of Hisa's hand.

"Err... hello?" said Hisa timidly.

Botan clasped her hands together and Yukina smiled before introducing herself. "I'm Yukina, thank you very much for saving my life." she bowed making Hisa blush, unused to have people bow to her. Usually she was the one to do the bowing...

"N-no problem..." she replied to the innocent girl.

Kurama seemed to catch on and called back Hiei and Kya before either one had a chance of killing the other, we all know people show love in many different ways right? Yusuke and Kuwabara also came in the room and Hisa soon sat down before she felt her legs would give up on her.

"Excuse our behavior, we were so worried as to know if both you and Hiei were alright we didn't introduce ourselves properly yet..." said Kurama as Yusuke introduced himself.

"Yusuke Urameshi's the name..." he said smirking. As for Kuwabara, well...

"My name is Kazuma Kuwabara and I vow to protect you no matter what happens!" he said while kneeling beside Hisa.

Hisa was embarrassed, she didn't know where to put herself, so many people being kind to her, very unusual.

"Ha, it's not worth telling lies... She saved our skins before and you'll protect her?" remarked Yusuke rolling his eyes to the beautiful celling.

And so the argument began, "Could you guys take this outside! Thanks!" yelled Kya as she turned her head back to Hisa.

"I'm Kya Tenshi... and I'd like a word with you when we're alone." she said grumpily.

"Hn." said Hiei as he lazily walked out the door.

Kurama chuckled, "That was Hiei as you probably figured it out from us shouting his name. I am Suiichi Minamino, but you can call me Kurama as everyone here does. I'll be outside if you need anything." and he left the room after Yukina and Botan.

Hisa directed her gaze to the black haired girl, 'How uncommon, her eyes are... midnight colored but so beautiful...' she thought in awe.

Kya sensed the girl's stare on her, "Could you stop staring? It's impolite." she said roughly. Immediately, Hisa turned her gaze back to the floor. Kya bit her lip, "Err... I didn't mean it. I just wanted to... talk with you." she said smiling a bit and sat on the bed next to Hisa, who nodded and looked at Kya in curiosity.

"For a start, thanks for saving both my life and Hiei's... I don't know what I'd do without him, ever since I met him I think he became part of my routine... His grumpy face, his cute spiky hair..." Kya stated dreamily before realizing she confessed more in a stranger than the group she knew before and abruptly stopped talking and looked away.

Hisa nodded, "You like him don't you?" she said simply scrutinizing the girl's change of expression as her embarrassed face was replaced by a red blood one but faking her lack of emotions.

"Nope." she replied stubbornly.

Hisa smiled "It's so obvious you like him, there's no need to lie."

Kya glanced at the calm girl then sighed, "I don't... want to be weak... because I like someone." she said looking out the window where birds were chirping happily.

"Love is no weakness, it's a strength. If the light is out, bring in love and the light will be back on..."

Kya stared at her, "How do you-- know all this? How can you be so sure?"

Hisa smiled sadly, "I know... from experience unfortunately..." she looked away.

"When you mean by experience... are you talking about your past?" asked Kya uncertainly, Hisa nodded closing her eyes to keep a tear from falling.

She sniffed and wiped her teary eyes, "I'm sorry... I don't want to seem like a cry baby. I just don't want to talk about my past..." This seemed to end the conversation, however...

"I bet you have a pretty sad past, lost all your love ones and being betrayed by someone you thought loved you." said Kya again staring out the window. Hisa wheeled her head around to look at the girl, a perfect stranger except for the fact she saved her life twice, and yet... she saw right through her mask, as if... she had herself experienced a horrid past.

'Just like me...' thought Hisa.

Kya stood up, "Sorry about that, I was zoning out... I'll go get some food before it's all gone, you better come too, I think you seriously need some. Look at yourself! You only have the skin on the bones, at your age!"

Hisa smiled amused, "You sound like a mother..."

Kya looked at Hisa surprised, then laughed, "Yeah you're right... That was pretty random..."

A minute of awkward silence was established, "W-would you... be my friend?" asked Hisa breaking the uncomfortable silence.

Kya didn't answer back at first, "Of course I will! Only if you promise... not to tell anyone what I told you... You know... about Hiei." she finished in a whisper. Hisa smiled gladly and nodded, "Right... now let's get some food!" said Kya grabbing her new friend's hand and walked out of the room to the kitchen.

'I'm lucky I have a guide for this maze... I think I would have gotten myself lost and they would have found my skeleton in fifty years from now...' thought Hisa looking around. Unbeknown by the two newly made friends, Hiei had been standing outside, right under the window, listening closely to their conversation...

"Hn." and he left with a smidge of pink on his cheeks.
