The eluminate morning sun awoke you the next morning from a very deep undisterbed sleep. The first thing you noticed was that the pain at your side was almost completly gone. You moved your hand over the area the wound was located and felt almost no pain or even dried blood. Opening your eyes to see if the bandage had been changed buring the night, you noticed that you were on the bed instead of the couch. Suddenly Hiei's eyes flashed for an instant in your head, but you pushed the thought away remebering how short he was with you last night. To clear it completly out of thought you turned your attention over to your wound again only to be interupted from your consentration by a light knock at the door.
"Yes?", you replied pretending like the noice awoke you.
Just then a girl with blue hair, blue pants and a white shirt came in carrying various bags and said in an overly chearfully mannor, "Good Morning! Hope you slept well! My name is Boton! Koenma sent me to see if you needed anything".
You stared dumbfounded at her for a moment, not really believeing that someone involved in this particular group could be so chearful.
She gave you a worried look and said, "Are you alright?".
You immediatly woke from your daize; blinking several times.
"Yes, I'm fine", you said with a small smile.
She gave you a peculiare look and said, "I better check that wound of yours to make sure your not getting an infection...".
You sat up and alowed her to unwrap the bandage that consealed the gash. When she pulled off the last bit she gasped and almost fell to the floor is shock. The enormous gash you recive early yesterday was completely healed. Only a thin scar could be seen where the wound once was.
"Oh, dear!", was all she could say.
"What is it?", you asked in a slight panic, wondering what could be wrong with you.
She quickly regained her composure and said, "I've never seen a wound of that magnitude heal so fast, even for a demon. How strange...".
After staring a moment more at your new scar she changed the subject, "Anyways...it's no matter", and began to fumble with the bags she had brought with her.
Some were filled with medications and others were filled with bandages.
She finally found the one she was looking for and said, "Here", handing you the bag which was full of clothes, "These don't realy fit me anymore, but they look about your size. And there is some shampoo and stuff in there so you can wash up", she added with a smile.
You thanked her and went into the bathroom to take a shower and get dressed. It took you a few minutes to learn how to use the shower but in the end you got it. The hot water felt so good on your sore body and muscles. For the first few minutes you just let the water run over your head and for a moment you forgot all about what happened in the last few days. But reality soon hit you and you began to wonder about how you got here and who that guy was. 'I don't remember his face, but he was so familiar. And why was he trying to kill me?', you thought to yourself.
Boton knocked on the door and asked, "You getting along alright in there?".
You realized how long you were taking and quickly finished washing. Wrapping a large towel around you, you began to look through the bag of clothes Boton had given you and found a shirt and a pair of shorts to wear. You looked up and wipped the steam off of the mirror and saw yourself for the first time. You had long brown hair and dark, yet sad, green eyes that seemed very distant and empty like the life was litteraly sucked out of them. There were strange black tattoos on your shoulders that you never noticed before. They looked like some sort of crest or something by how they curved in an eligant manner. You looked at yourself not realy sure what to make of it all; these people; this place. It all seemed like a horrible dream that you would soon wake up from, but know that you never will. You decided not to think about it anymore, got dressed and went into the bedroom again to find Boton straitening up the room.
"Sorry. Hiei is never around long enough to clean up after himself". You smiled and giggled at the thought of him cleaning.
"Uuumm...where do you go to get something to eat around here", you asked when your stomach reminded you of eating.
She laughed at herself for forgetting to ask if you were hungey and led the way to the kitchen. You went down the hall that Kurama found you in the night before, down a flight of stairs and down another hall untill you came to a pair of swinging doors. You went in and found yourself in a medium sized room with a large table full of left over food as well as many chairs. You stepped through a walk way on the far side into another room quite different from the previous one. This room had big couches and chairs to sit on and various tables that were alot shorter then the one in the first room. Everyone seemed to be just sitting around this room watching a box that flashed different pictures. When you walked in everyone looked up, but only Yusuke went back to watching the box and Hiei was no where to be found. You paid no mind to it and went back to the kitchen to eat.
Right when you finished a strange character came through the swinging doors in a hurry. He was somewhat tall and had blue skin, horns on his head and what looked like a skirt around his waist. He said that Koenma wanted to see you alone in his office right away. Not knowing what to expect you put your dishes in the sink and head for Koenma's office. It looked the same as it did the night before, exept that there was another set of double doors you didn't notice. The door that led to the bedrooms and kitchen area was in fact a side door rather then the main one. Koenma was sitting quietly in his chair with his hands folded over an object of some kind. As you walked over to him a strange and yet familiar sensation swept over your body.
"You wanted to see me Koenma?", you asked hesetently.
He looked up at you with surching eyes.
"Yes. Do you know what this is?", he said holding up the object in his hand.
It was a medium sized purple pendent that hung on a thin gold chain. There was a symbol in the middle of the pendent, but you didn't know what it ment.
"No, I don't...", you answered as you marvled at the pendent's beauty.
He sighed and handed it to you, "The boys found it with you and gave it to me for examination. But I couldn't find anything. I was hoping it would jog your memory".
As you held the pendent something stired inside you, an energy of some kind. Putting it around your neck you instantly became conected with it and couldn't see how you could have gone on without it. The energy it was giving off was so peaceful and warm that it was almost intoxicating.
"It does in a way...", you said, "I can't explain how, but it is like it is a part of me...".
Koenma smiled a little and said, "Yes, and you should always keep it with you and never take it off".
You smiled back and said, "I won't, thank you".
He nodded and looked away saying, "You may go".
You looked at him couriously and left the room. You stood outside his office door examining the pendent closely. Suddenly you heard Koenma talking.
"I hope she is ready for what's to come...", was all you made out and then another one of those strange characters entered the room with some important information.
You left quickly so as not to alert Koenma that you were listening to what he had said. You walked slowly down the hall thinking to yourself. 'I wonder who he was talking about back there...Was it me? What does he know that I don't? Better yet, if it is about me, why isn't he telling me anything?'. Upon entering the living area again you stumbled upon an on going argument Yusuke and Kuwabara were having and decided not to interupt them. Instead you headed to a door you saw that apeared to lead outside. Wanting to get a better idea on where everything was, you went outside to explore a little.
Walking outside you gasped at how beautiful the garden and the surounding forest was. The dark green grass was as thick and lush as the undergrowth of the trees that surounded the yard. Wonderous flowers of all different colors outlined the reflecting pool that mirrored the circular, domed patio which centered the yard. Looking around you saw that the building you came from surounded the area and seemed to enclose the forest as well. A pathway could be seen starting from the patio and continued on into the forest. 'If there is a path, then I can't get lost', you thought to yourself as you entered the forest. The air inside was crisp and damp as if it had just rained recently. It was a nice soothing and quiet walk until suddenly you heard someone shouting in the distance. As you followed the voice, more and more pathways began to branch off from the one you were on, going various directions. The deeper you went the darker it got, until you could bearly see at all, but the noise kept growing louder and louder. Right when you began to wonder if it was such a good idea to travel so far into the forest, a dim light could be seen coming from a clearing up ahead. When you came to the clearing you could see Hiei standing in the middle with his katana drawn.
He was shirtless, bere foot and was breathing very hard as he stared out in front of him in a perfect defensive stance. His body glowed with sweat which in turn amplified every muscle and curve on his body. You ducked behind a near by tree to watch him, unable to look away. You kept very still and quiet so as not to bother his focus from training. You suddenly felt a surge of energy radiate from his body and then he was gone. You tried to focus your eyes to try to see his lightning movments but with no avail. So you instincivly let them go out of focus and trail his energy instead. First you saw flashes of energy and light reflecting off of his blade. But the more consentrated the more infocus he got, until you could see every movement he made. You watched as he swung and sliced at figments of his imagination, completly immersed in his techniqe and style. You were so mesmorized by the menuvers of his body you held your breath, feeling that you would miss something by taking a breath. He stopped suddenly in the exact place he was when you found him, looking around suspiciously. Knowing he felt someone watching him you took a step back towards the path, but stepped on a stick, breaking it.
Next thing you knew you were pushed up against the tree you were hidding behind with his hand on your throat. You grapped hold of his wrist to try to pull his hand off of you, but he was too strong. You tried to struggle and gasp for air only to feel something cold and sharp against your skin. You looked into his eyes, but they were not the ones you remembered. These were glazed over with rage and cold as ice, 'I...can't...breath...', you thought despretly, ' Some...one...help...'. You had to get him off of you or else you would die, 'But...how. He's...too...strong...'. It was then you began to blackout and knew that this was the end.
But suddenly a bright light apeared and you hit the ground hard gulping for air and couphing with every breath. You looked up to see Hiei a few yards away looking very shocked. His eyes were back to normal, but you still didn't trust him. His breathing was labored and took a step towards you, dropping his sword.
You pinned yourself against the tree in fear of him saying while still gasping for air, "NO...stay back...".
He gave you a hurt look and began to say something but sumbbled over his words, "I... I didn't...".
You didn't wait for him to finish, but got up and ran down the path as fast as you possably could, hopping against all hope that he was not behind you.
Yeah, no one else has messaged me yet, but it doesn't matter! I will keep writting and posting beacuase I have nothing better to do this summer!
