Ok I'm back, I think there is going to be like only one more chappi after this so pwease review!
Last time
Misha laughed. 'Does he think I'm actually going to count?' She ran after him and into the forest, not even thinking of what was wait for her in there.
-----------
"Hiei? Are you in here?" Misha asked in a mocking voice.
"No, little one, but I am..." Misha froze at the sound of the voice.
"Wh-who are you?" Misha turned around searching for the owner of the horrible sounding voice.
"I am Aghan, king of this forest." A spider like creature let itself down out of the trees. "And who are you my scrumptious little girl?"
"I am Misha..."
"No! Not what you are called but who you are!" The spider like man yelled out.
Misha's demeanor changed, her normal brown eyes flashed gold. "Do you really want to know who I am?" Her hair started getting longer and turned a white color. "If I tell you who I am you will die." Her skin began darkening and she soon had a foreign look to her.
"I am Hikara! I am your god!" She yelled to Aghan and sent a whirl of energy no larger than a pea at him. It exploded on contact and killed the spider-man instantly. "HAHA you thought I was some weak demon. Sad is the day anyone doubts my power." Her voice was low and throaty.
(Some where else in the forest)
Hiei ran into the forest, not looking where he was going. He knew that Misha probably wouldn't hurt him, but why test her. She sometimes had enormous amounts of luck in which she could probably kill him.
"Hn. She'll never find me." He stopped and climbed into a tree. He leaned back against the tree, a mistake that would have costed him dearly.
There in the tree was a spider demon. Hiei didn't have time to react, the spider-man caught him in it's silk and tied Hiei up. Hiei was left lying on his stomach looking down to the forest floor.
That's when he heard a voice. "Hiei? Are you in here?" Oh no it was Misha.
The spider answered. "No, Little one, but I am..."
Misha looked around. Still talking to the spider. Slowly the spider let itself down and stood in front of Misha.
"And who are you my scrumptious little girl?"
"I am Misha..."
"No! Not what you are called but who you are!" The spider like man yelled out.
Misha's demeanor changed, her normal brown eyes flashed gold. "Do you really want to know who I am?" Her hair started getting longer and turned a white color. "If I tell you who I am you will die." Her skin began darkening and she soon had a foreign look to her.
"I am Hikara! I am your god!" She yelled to Aghan and sent a whirl of energy no larger than a pea at him. It exploded on contact and killed the spider-man instantly. "HAHA you thought I was some weak demon. Sad is the day anyone doubts my power." Her voice was low and throaty.
Hiei watched on in horror, so this was the diety? Misha had grown taller, her silver-white hair went down to her waist, and her skin tanned and marks like tattoos formed on her arms and face.
He wriggled slightly and ended up rolling of the tree branch. It just must be his lucky day. Falling into Misha's memory and getting attacked by Arden, Try to be eaten by a spider, and now falling out of a tree, what next?
The deity heard the noise and turned just in time to see Hiei hurtling towards the ground. As nimble as a deer she caught him the moment before impact.
"What do we have here?" Hikara asked. "A poor boy about to be eaten?" She tore the silk webbing that Hiei was in and threw him to the ground.
"Misha how did you, I mean, that attack...?"
"Ah. So you know my human counterpart." Hikara looked off far away. "This is the first time I have been out in a while." She turned back to Hiei, and lifted her arm. There on her wrist was a bell, the bell Misha had on when she first came here.
"You see this." She pointed at the tarnished old bell. "This has belonged to every deity before me. My mother... my grandmother, all the way back to the beginning of every thing."
"What about Misha..." Hiei voiced quietly.
"Oh she is still me... or should I say I am her. In this form though I'm known as Hikara. It is the deity name." Hikara explained.
Hiei nodded, not fully getting it, but the main part of it at least. "Alright.. Well I need the Misha version of you back."
"Ok." Hikara nodded, "Hiei?"
"What."
"I know you have other bell, don't lose it. I can be used against me." Hikara closed her eyes and slowly changed back to Misha.
"So what is so great about this old piece of junk?" Hiei pulled the bell out of his belt and dangled it in front of Misha.
"That old piece of junk can control Hikara." She swung at the bell but missed by a millimeter. "Hiei I need that bell."
"I think it's safer with me, you lost your necklace and bell to me."
"That's right, my necklace." Misha pounced on Hiei. She touched his forehead and he froze, ice surrounding his body.
"Misha!" Kurama had come out of the palace and into the forest looking for them.
"How did you find us?" Misha asked slowly removing the bell from Hiei's frozen hand.
"Well I sensed Hiei's power and... What did you do to Hiei!" Kurama walked over to the frozen Hiei and tapped it with his finger. The ice broke and a very cold Hiei dropped to the ground.
"Never do that again..." he huddled up on the ground, shivering.
"Uhhhh... oops." Misha offered weakly. She smiled... "Race you guys back to the palace."
"Don't change the subject!" Hiei yelled, but only to wind for Misha was off.
"Well... Hiei...EAT MY DUST!" Kurama yelled very out of his normal character.
"Kurama?" Hiei stalled for a second and then took off after his two racing friends.
The group of friends met back up at the palace. Misha was of course the first one there and laughed at Kurama for being beaten by Hiei.
"Didn't you think I was faster than him?" Hiei asked angrily, which caused Misha to laugh so hard she cried.
Kurama stood there smiling and blushing in embarrassment. Misha slung her arm over his shoulder and started him toward the castle. "Kurama, I need to have a little heart to heart talk with Hiei." She pushed him through the gate.
"What do you want?" Hiei had jumped up into a tree, remembering his icy prison.
"Hiei, do you like me?" Misha asked with a strait face.
"Where the heck did that come from?" Hiei asked trying to change the subject.
"I want to know..." she paused then continued in a whisper, "I need to know why Arden and you are fighting over me. Is it for my power? Or something else... Why do you like me?" Her eyes were glassy with tears.
Hiei wouldn't look at her, he couldn't. "What makes you think we were fighting over you?"
"I don't know it's just what you said...I thought..." Misha was then fighting back tears. "Ph, just forget I said anything." She turned away and slowly made her way back to the palace and into a white kitchen where everything was spotlessly white except for a vase with now yellow flowers.
"I'm an idiot." Misha sat down in a chair and thumped her head on the table.
"Why would you say that?" Misha looked up and there was Yusuke.
"Wow, long time no see. Where have you been?" Misha faked a smile
"I've been on a mission... so why are you an idiot?" Yusuke changed the subject back to Misha.
"Hold on. Did this mission include Keiko?" Yusuke blushed. "I knew it."
"I asked her if she would ever think of marrying me, she told me as soon as I get an A+ on a test she would think about it."
"So that was a no." Misha looked at him.
"It was until I got a 100 on my goldfish story." Misha's mouth dropped.
"Goldfish story? Actually don't tell me I don't want to know." Misha stood up and stretched. "Well I'm gonna go." She left the room to Yusuke yelling that she never told him why she was an idiot.
Misha stopped behind a pillar and slumped down to the floor. 'Stupid, I am absolutely stupid. Hoping that Hiei liked me. I am a stupid idiot.'
"You need to think quietly, or some unlucky telepathic will pick up your brain waves." Hiei was there and he slumped down beside her. "This is something I never will do again. And you will never tell anyone what is was." Hiei leaned down and kissed her on the forehead. "Thank you for saving me."
"No, Hiei." Misha whispered. "Thank you for saving me..." She looked away fighting back tears the threatened to make her look like a baby.
Hiei slung his arm over her shoulder and pulled her close. "I thought about you a lot after we left each other. I didn't think I would ever see you again."
Misha leaned into Hiei and cried softly. "You are the worst person I know. You make me cry over the dumbest things."
Hiei laughed a watery laugh. They sat there for about thirty minutes before Hiei realized Misha was asleep. He leaned back against the pillar, and looked up at the dark blue ceiling. "Why do you do this to me, I thought I would never feel this way about anyone and yet her I am with you..." Hiei stroked her hair. "I lied to you. Earlier today I was scared of feeling any emotion. I'm sorry."
Hiei sat there waiting for Misha to wake up. Finally his butt fell asleep and he woke her up. "You need to move." he shoved her off his lap and stood up.
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to take up your time and I.. Hiei what are you looking at?" Misha wiped her face. "Did I get it?"
"No." Hiei smirked.
"Get it off." Misha sternly said. Hiei smiled evilly and grabbed Misha's wrist. "Hiei! What are you doing?"
"Hold still." Hiei stood very close to Misha and rubbed her bottom lip. She shivered.
"Did you get it?" Misha fidgeted.
"Yes." Hiei did something completely unexpected. He kissed her, not softly either. He kissed her as if he was trying to ger 11 years of loneliness out.
Once Hiei let go, Misha bolted. She ran back to her room and locked the door. She was confused. He said he didn't like her... what was going on! She flopped on her bed and stared at the ceiling.
Her window was thrown open. There was a tall cloaked figure. "Hello, Butterfly. I've missed you."
