Hiei glances at you, then takes off. You follow reluctantly. He leads you up a flight of stairs, and to the end of the hallway. He pushes open the dark wood door and-
DREAM ROOM
Deep violet walls, black carpet, a beanbag chair, a weapons rack (currently empty), and a canopied bed, with black curtains, silver ties, over a dark purple, almost black, silk bedding. The window curtains were black, with silver ones over them. The only source of light was the silver glow of a globe that rested on the bedside table, which was ebony. A lightning orb. This was a clear, spun-glass orb, which allowed you to practice and enhance your powers. It had the diameter of a dinner plate, and had live lightning running through it. It was something you had invented. Only 3 people knew about them, and how to make them. Hotaru, you, and- No…he was dead…This one had silver lightning, just like the ones that he had made. You go over to examine it. You roll over it with your hands.
This is definitely his workmanship; it has the rose on the bottom. How did they get a hold of this? You place the orb back on it's stand, and turn to face Hiei, but he was gone. You poke your head out of the door, but he's nowhere in sight.
"Hn."
You are surprised to find him in your room, sitting on the bed, when you turn around. You jump. He chuckles.
"I brought your stuff."
"How?" You ask. Someone behind you clears their throat. You swerve around and it is-
" MOM!"
You run up to her and she hugs you.
"Hello, Rai. How are things going? Do you like your new job?"
You frown. "I haven't really done anything yet…"
She chuckles.
"No, I guess not. Have you met your aunt yet?"
"No."
" Oh. I guess she's been busy. Anyway, I have some good news!"
You perk up. "You're getting me out of here?"
She shakes her head. "No. But I am moving into the Princes Citadel. I'll be in the royal suite, in my old room. "
"Oh."
You really had hoped she'd figured out a way to get you out of here. Instead it seemed she WANTED you to stay in this job. She looks around the room.
"It smells like your room at home…"
You sniff, and then realize that it does. The scent of lavender and roses in the morning, with that minty edge, that hint of darkness, the icy touch of winter, the scent that has forever meant you.
Alright, now that's creepy is really creeped out
Your Mom keeps talking, and you notice the Hiei quietly sneaks out, but are too busy thinking to care. Someone was trying to tell you something. And you were going to have to find out before it drove you crazy.
