The Dream: Luci's Destiny Chapter Thirty-One
A/N: Sorry for the long wait! Thanks for all my reviewers of the last chapter! Thanks for sticking with me!
In this chapter…Hiei goes to school, Luci gets "tested," and does Kurama gets re-rejected or accepted? Read to find out…
Chapter Thirty-One: The Single Tear
"We're going to have to decapitate you," they said.
"What?" she replied in shock.
"We're going to have to decapitate you. Please stand still as we cut off your head."
Luci awoke from her dream, sweating slightly. She felt heavy and sore, unable to get out of bet. Glancing at the clock, she saw that it was 4:45.
It was the day when she would be going back to school. She often wondered if anyone noticed if she was gone. Now, she felt new and recalled to life. It won't be that bad, she thought to herself, I have Alice and Hiei with me.
Hiei… the thought of him warmed her heart. She sat up and hugged her pillow. It was mid-April. School would be out in about two months, she could survive that much, especially since she now had a real reason to go to school.
Finally, she crawled out of her bed, and for the first time in a very long time, she decided she would look nice that day. She washed her face and put on her school uniform, which she had washed and ironed the night before. It was 5:25.
She had a lot more time so she snuck into her mother's empty room. Then she found her mother's makeup stash. She, herself, had never worn makeup much before, but she had often watched her mother apply it. She lightly lined her eyes and then went on to curl her hair. When she was finished, she looked into the mirror and thought, I look hot.
Upon exiting the room, she realized that she had not seen her mother since she returned. Her mother must have been worried sick when she didn't return home for—six months. She suddenly realized that because of her own greed, she had forgotten all about her former life.
Calming down, she thought to herself, she's probably at work right now—or—or maybe—she's living with some friends because it was too lonely. I'm sure that Botan—or somebody has covered up for me.
Luci stood up and walked into the kitchen, where she found Yusuke, who, at the moment, seemed slightly distressed.
"Yusuke—" Luci began.
Yusuke looked up and instantly smiled. "Hey, sis. Yeah, you have school today."
"Is something wrong?" she asked.
Still smiling, Yusuke said, "Naw… well, so it turns out for all the days of school I skipped, I have to make it up and go another year after this. But you know, with all my skipping, doesn't hurt to skip a day more."
That's not something he would get upset about, Luci thought. What is going on? "Well, I could stay at home today with y—"
"No," Yusuke replied firmly. "You…aren't messed up like I am. You actually have a chance to do something. Besides, Hiei will destroy the city if he is forced to go to school by himself, surrounded by humans."
Does that make me non-human? Luci wondered.
Obeying her brother's wishes, Luci walked out to the bus stop, thinking, I suppose I should go find him. He won't come willingly.
Reading Break!

Alice was unable to sleep. She sat in her bed thinking of all the deeds she had done.
"I'm a horrible person, aren't I?" She asked herself aloud. "I'm evil…I don't deserve half the things I have."
She sighed and leaned back on her pillow. Countless thoughts jumped around in her head.
I rejected him….
Did I hurt him….?
…… …
Why…? Why does anyone in this world like me? I'm so uselessly…difficult…
Somehow, she found herself walking to Kurama's apartment. For ten minutes, she stood at the bottom of the apartment, just thinking. Then she went up the stairs and as she approached the door, someone was leaving. For a while, she stared, but then Alice recognized him as the "Hiei" she had seen earlier.
"Um… hi…" she said, stumbling. "I don't know if you remember me from—"
Hiei turned around and stared silently. "Move aside."
Alice raised an eyebrow at his gruffness. "Hey…where are you going?"
"It's nothing a nin—person like you would know about." Again, the reply was rather rude.
What was his problem? Was this not the guy that Luci had described and fallen for? "What is your fucking problem?" She asked him. "I'm not in the mood for some bastard like you to ruin my day. Here I am trying to be nice to you—and—hey, where are you going?"
She grabbed on to his arm, but Hiei failed to pause, causing her to trip and fall… onto Hiei. There was a short moment when their eyes met…and then Alice immediately jumped up, cheeks burning.
"I'm so sorry," she said, not noticing that Hiei's cheeks were burning as well.
"Don't do it again," he said, emotionless.
"What are you both doing here?" Kurama had suddenly appeared behind Hiei.
"Shui—" Alice stopped.
Kurama stood there—and he indeed seemed like a new person—a different person. He seemed more serious—and less friendly.
"Shuichi…I came here to see you," Alice whispered.
He said nothing and turned to Hiei. "Where are you going?"
"Kurama, don't be a fool. I can't stay here."
"It is what Koenma wishes. It's best if you stay here. Let's go inside." Kurama walked past Alice and opened his door, with Hiei following behind.
Alice stood there and watched, a bit hurt. Then she followed them inside.
"Miss Alice," Kurama said, "you'll take Hiei to school with you today, won't you?"
Alice had zoned out.
"Would you do that, please?"
She blinked a couple times. "Yes, of course."
"Thank you, then," he replied. And that was it.
That was it. Slowly, Alice approached Kurama. She walked closer and closer
Suddenly, a single tear fell down her cheek. "Do you hate me?"
"I just thought that—that we should have spent more time getting to know each other first." What am I doing? She asked herself. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come…" Alice turned around and made her way to the door.
It must have been that single tear that woke him up, because from behind Kurama, stood up and sweetly hugged her around the waist, kissing her softly on the cheek. "I'm glad you came."
It was then that Hiei found the perfect chance to escape. Quietly, Hiei creeped toward the door, when suddenly, the doorbell rang. Once again, his plans to escape were foiled.
Kurama stood up. "Well, answer it, Hiei."
Reluctantly, Hiei opened the door, surprised to see Luci standing there.
"Hiei—hi… Well, I promised that school wouldn't be so bad for you… so here I am…"
"Thanks," he muttered.
Luci smiled. "Well, we're going to be late if we don't go soon."
"Aww…Hiei, wasn't that cute?" Alice asked.
"Alice, you're here?" Luci asked.
"Shut up, woman!" Hiei said to Alice.
Luci was confused. "You two… know each other?"
"Sadly," both Alice and Hiei replied at the same time.
Luci and Kurama both broke into small laughter. "Come on, guys, let's go."
Sorry for the short chapter and if there are any mistakes! I'm in a hurry, and I figured an update isbetter than nothing!
I promise I will update much sooner! I have an idea for what I want to happen. Next chapter will be the high school fic part! More drama and fun and then I'll go back to adding some action and then romance combined. Just stick with me, and I promise, it'll be good!
Thanks,
Oh yeah... A create a character contest
Pretty much, you know what the pairs are. Since I just love triangles, I might use another character to make a triangle.
So pretty much there are 2 types you can pick from: a school girl, or a mysterious female character... warrior or whatever you get the point
School girl: This character needs to be perfect-- whether a popular girl or just a very good student; someone that will win the heart of one of the men
Name: (looking for a good name for a Japanese school girl; a name that's popular and easy to say)
Appearance: (Eyes, hair, statue, etc.)
Personality: (Please be through)
Special qualities: (Something that makes her special, and something that any guy would die for)
Other comments:
Mysterious female character: She needs to be perfect as well--beautiful, smart, everything
Name: (something mysterious)
Appearance: (Eyes, hair, statue,others)
Personality: (Please be through)
Special abilities and qualities: (Well, what makes this character different than every other girl out there? Why would Hiei or Kurama choose her over his own girl; You can include things like her being from a different race, etc.)
Others:
Copy and paste one of these requirements for a character into a review. Or, if you want, it can be a combination of both a school girl that IS mysterious. I am looking for something original and cute. (I might pick two of them!) Everything you write is subject to be changed. Good luck! I'm counting on you!
An update will come for you soon!
Review please.
