Chapter 7 A Secret Revealed Part 3
"Rabbit,when you ran from me,how were you able to go so fast?" "...about a year after the fire and my parents, I was kidnapped by some doctor guys.They took me to a laboratory and ran all kinds of fucked up "tests" on me.Then they did something I will never know for what reason,they injected a syringe with some purpleish-grayish stuff into my blood stream.I don't know how,I don't know why,but whatever the stuff was,it gave me strange powers.I was able to run as fast as,well,you for example.I was able to heal things by concentrating my energy into them.And,I started hearing voices,strange and loud voices,voices that were not of this earth.Those voices,it hurts just to listen to them,especially all at once.It's like,they want to tell me something..."
"Like what?" "I don't know...sometimes they sound calm and friendly,other times, they're mean and cold.It's mostly a blur..." "...mostly?" Sometimes I can make out what they're saying,but only little bits and pieces that don't seem to fit together." "What can you understand?" "I usually hear stuff like pain,suffer,destruction,death.The only time I've completely heardsomeone say something was when..." "...when?" "...when my mother and father came to me in a dream.They said that I am the hope of the future,that one day the time will come fordestiny to reveal itself to me." "What did they mean by destiny?" "I don't know,the last thing they said was that I hold the key,and that I must use it if the future is to exist,that the earth was not my true home and I will someday return to where I belong.And that was the last I heard from them,ever..." Rini turned away from Hiei as tears welled up in her eyes once more.
Hiei said nothing.He simply got up and headed for the door,but stopped and said, "I'm not sure what all that means,and I'm not sure if there's anything I can or want to do about it." "What do you mean?" "Rabbit,there's something I need to tell you,I am a fire demon.I was born and abandoned in the ice realm of the demon world.I was raised by a band of theives,then I went off on my own,and have been since.I thank you for helping me recover,but I don't belong here.I have to go back to the Makai."
"Hiei,I cared for your wounds and nursed you back to health.You never said anything,but I know you wanted to.Now I just poured my heart out to you,and you just stand there saying you don't care?Have you no heart?" "Good-bye rabbit,you will never see me again." And with that Hiei flitted out the open window,into the moonlit night.Rini rushed to the window. "Hiei!" There was no answer. "HIEI!",she called out again,but he was already gone.Rini just sat down,curled up into a ball,and cryed for what seemed like forever.
