Chapter ten

Where do You Have to Go?

Kin sat on the rock by the small waterfall, with Kaiya resting her head in his lap. She had fallen asleep awhile ago, and she was still smiling.

He looked up to see that Hiei was gone, again. He had already left once, and now he left again. He looked down at the sleeping girl in his arms, and whispered, "I can't be with you forever, Kaiya. But I wish I could."

She didn't stir, or make any noise.

"I love you."

Kaiya kept her eyes closed, not wanting to talk to him about why he couldn't stay. A river of tears welled up in her closed eyes, but she kept them back.

'Kin, where do you have to go?'

Hiei balanced on the end of a branch, his eyes almost as dark as the night. The sun was beginning to rise, and he disappeared.

"Wake up. It's time to leave."

Kin looked up to see Hiei standing there with a blank look on his face. Kaiya stirred in his arms and then got up, rubbing her eyes like a child.

"Where are we going," She asked tiredly.

"The detective's house."

Before she could ask why, he flashed off. Kaiya and Kin chased after him, barely able to keep up with him.

"Hiei, slow down," she yelled after him. He didn't slow, if anything, he went faster.

"Damn you," she cursed under her breath.

He sped up, again.

"Whoa, what the hell are you two doing here? AND WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING HERE," Yusuke yelled as he pointed at Kin.

"Yusuke, calm down," Kaiya began.

"First tell me what the hell he's doing here, and in my house? And what happened to you? Last time we saw you, you were under that creepy guys control as well."

Hiei just walked in and went and picked up one of the bottles of beer on the floor. It was empty. He threw it behind him, hitting Yusuke in the head.

"OW, what the hell are you doing?"

He momentarily forgot about Kaiya and her boyfriend, and turned around to look at Hiei throwing empty bottles of beer behind him.

"I'm looking for something to drink, idiot," He replied smartly.

"In the fridge."

Yusuke turned back around to stare at Kaiya for an explanation, while Hiei rummaged through the fridge.

"Well, he's not under Zinan's control anymore, and neither am I. So, he's on our side now."

"Are you sure we can trust him?"

Yusuke looked at Kin warily, while Kaiya just sighed. Her balled up fist made contact with his arm.

"Be nice, or I'll really hurt you."

"Ow, why does everyone keep hitting me today?"

Hiei came back out of the kitchen with a beer in one hand, and an already half emptied bottle of whiskey in the other.

Everyone looked at him.

"Hn."

One week had passed, exactly, and everyone was getting use to Kin being around them. Even though it took them awhile, especially Kuwabara, who was almost certain that he was nothing but a spy. But Kaiya changed his mind, or at least shut him up with nice punch to the stomach that left him breathless for a few moments.

Zinan stood on top of the building stiffly, his eyes staring at one thing, and one thing only. His old partner.

Her dark blue hair stuck out in the crowd of ningens, as she walked with them. She broke through the crowd, and walked into a nearby building. A school.

Everything was fine for a few minutes, before the entire building was enveloped in a yellow light, and then blew up.

"I might not have that fool, Kin, to use her anymore, but that doesn't mean I can't toy with her and her friends. I wonder how they will react when they find out their little friend is dead."

A small laugh fell off his lips as he saw her emerge from the rubble, completely unharmed. The small blue shield that was around her dropped, as she continued to walk away, as if nothing had happened. People were scattered out around her on the sidewalk, where the blast had hit them. No one saw her, except for Zinan.

All right, this has taken awhile. Sorry for that, but I've been having major writer's block. Anyway, on to something really important, fanfiction has just set up a new rule that says you can't thank your reviewers in your posts anymore, so there is a petition going around, and if you want to sign it to change this rule, then tell me in a review or e-mail me, and I'll send it to ya. OK? OK, cause it's important.

Later,

Robin
