Tears streamed down silently as Kira plunged her katana into Hiei. She watched as those ruby orbs widened then rolled back lifelessly. Withdrawing her katana, she surveyed her surroundings.
Kurama. Yusuke. Keiko. Shizuru. Kuwabara. Yukina. Genkai. Botan. Hell, even Tori. She looked at their corpses blankly. Glancing down at the body in front of her, she dropped her katana, then wrapped her arms around Hiei's lifeless figure. Her tears dropped on Hiei's face, making it seem as he's the one crying.
"Why did you kill them Kira?"
"I DIDN'T!" Kira shrieked scrambling up. "Who are you! Come out and face me!"
"Kira…"
"Akio!" Kira gasped as she looked wildly around.
"Why?"
Kira screamed in frustration when she found Akio. With her katana stuck through him to the hilt.
"It's not my fault! I didn't kill you!"
Kira sobbed as she wrapped her arms around herself. Whispering repeatedly to herself. "I didn't kill them…" After awhile, her head drooped down and she stopped her denying.
"I DID kill them…"
Kira's eyes shot open as she gasped and bolt upright on the chair. The nightmare still vivid in her mind. Breathing deeply, she relaxed slowly as she closed her eyes and held her head in her hand. Opening her eyes again, she took note of the state of her living room.
Yusuke and Keiko were on the left end of her couch. Keiko was sitting on Yusuke's lap, his arms around her, his fingers intertwining with her's on her lap.
Botan was in the middle of the couch, the bottom half of her almost falling off the couch.
Yukina and Kuwabara were on the other end. Yukina was leaning on Kuwabara's shoulders. One of Yukina's hands was in Kuwabara's.
Looking across her, Kurama was draped casually on the other chair, his red hair falling slightly over his face, shading his eyes.
Last but not least, Hiei on the window seat. One hand near the hilt of his katana. Kira smiled at the sight of him as sunlight poured in from beside him.
Yawning, she pushed her tail out of the way and ran one hand through her hair. She absent-mindedly smoothed her hair around the two furry ears on top.
…
"WHAT THE HELL!"
The occupants of the house jolted awake. Yusuke instinctively hugged Keiko more protectively. Botan fell off the couch in surprise. Kuwabara has positioned himself in front of Yukina, ready to protect her. One of Kurama's hands is halfway to his hair, ready to draw out his rose. Hiei's eyes flew open, his katana unsheathed halfway.
Everyone glared at the Kira.
"Hehe, sorry?"
"Cute!"
"Ow! Botan! Keiko! Stop pulling my ears!" Kira growled as she smacked their hands away and covered her wolf ears protectively. They were black with blue tips, same with her tail.
She then looked at Kuwabara whose eyes were following her tail as it swished around behind her. She quickly gathered her tail in her arms then hissed as him. "Don't even think about it!"
For a few minutes, there was complete silence as all seven of them stared at Kira new features.
Kira twitched, her ears fold back. "Stop staring before I take away your ability to stare"
Everyone quickly turned away doing their own thing.
Kira muttered incoherently under her breath as she tugged lightly on her ears. How the hell is she suppose to go out with these new features?
"Kira-chan?"
"Huh?"
"We have to go now, take care."
Kira grinned at Yukina, showing her she's fine. She waved as her house starts to empty, then turn to the last two occupants. "Well?"
"I have a holiday assignment to finish. I'll be going now. Bye!" Kurama hurriedly said then grabbed his belongings and quickly went out.
"Right."
Kira watched after him as he walked out. He sure seems to be in a hurry to go off. She then shrugged and turned to her last guest.
"Guess you're the lucky one today huh?"
"Hn"
"I wonder why I even ask."
Hiei smirked at her as he watched her change positions every few seconds on her chair. She's tends to be slightly skittish when there is only the two of them around. He's now aware of her feelings for him. It amused him that she likes him, yet she is nervous around him.
"Are you done switching positions?"
Kira yelped when he suddenly spoke up right behind her chair. Her face flushed slightly in embarrassment. She turned around to yell at him, only, her lips are occupied all of a sudden. Kira's yell died in her throat as his lips met hers. Her eyes closed slightly as she starts to enjoy herself.
Hiei's eyes widen considerably before closing. He didn't intend to kiss her, he has no idea how it happened. Either he's leaned over the chair more then he intends to or…his thoughts disappeared as Kira deepened the kiss and he went along without hesitating.
"You owe me 500 yen Yusuke"
"Fine" The detective huffed as he handed over the cash to the fox. Who knew they would actually kiss? Damn Hiei and Kira for their unpredictable personality.
"Shut up" Botan whispered. "They are gonna hear us if we keep talking"
Everyone signaled for her to keep quiet as six pairs of eyes continued to watch through the window.
"Nothing happened" Hiei muttered softly.
"…Understood"
Kira bit her lip and shifted in her seat. She was secretly hoping Hiei would say something DID happened. What was she thinking?
"I'm gonna train" Kira stumbled over her words, rushed upstairs, grabbed her katana and rushed out. The tension between them was so thick, she felt like she's suffocating.
Taking a deep breath, Kira started going through a series of moves with her katana. 'I can't fall in love with him. I need to focus on my goals. Train. Get stronger. Kill Raiko.'
Anger clouded her mind when she thought of Raiko. She started venting her anger on a tree nearby, stabbing and slashing at it furiously.
'Damn it. Damn it. Damn it.' She thought angrily with each stab as she started on a new tree. The previous one is currently in too small pieces for her to hit properly.
"God damn it!" she yelled at nothing then threw her katana down. Sitting down on the grass, she buried her head in her arms which were resting on her knees. 'How the hell am I suppose to kill Raiko and avenge my family if I'm so weak?'
"Hiei get down here" Her voice muffled.
"Hn. How do you know I'm here?"
"I didn't, it was just a guess"
Hiei didn't reply. He just sat down next to her and stare off in a distance. He knew he hurt her with his words earlier on. But what was he suppose to say? After all, he is the forbidden child. He don't love, and no one is suppose to love him.
Apparently, Kira doesn't give two hoots about whether he's the forbidden child or not.
True, he has females after him because he has power. Either that or they just simply lust for his body. It was never love.
What about Kira? Hiei laughed mentally at himself. For all he knows, Kira could be the same as those females as well.
"You know she isn't like that""How would you know? And who the hell are you?"
"I'm you. And since I'm you of course I know duh. Baka."
Hiei abruptly stopped the conversation. Great, now he's talking to himself. Not to mention he had just been called an idiot by his conscience.
"Hiei?" Kira asked waving her hand in front of him. "Are you ok?"
"Hn" He replied rudely, swatting her hand away.
"Fine. Be that way. Excuse me for caring" Kira growled. God. Does he have to be such an asshole? Kira picked up her katana and stomped all the way back home.
Upon reaching home, she continued to stomp upstairs. Throwing her katana down, she grabbed a change of clothes and took a long, hot shower.
'Fine. He can be so damn grumpy for all I care.' Kira thought angrily as she soaped herself. 'I don't even know why I actually like that asshole.'
She was still slightly mad after her shower. Dumping out all her textbooks and papers from her backpack, she replaced them with her katana and her mp3. Slinging it over her shoulders she walked with an expressionless face downstairs. Only pausing slightly in front of the door to say to the figure on the window seat where she is going. "Library"
Kira scowled when she saw the red headed fox at a corner of the library. 'Holiday assignment my ass.' She thought. Picking a random book of the bookshelf, she marched to the table he's sitting on, plugged in her mp3 and start flipping through the book.
'Oops…' Kurama thought as the ice wolf demon flipped through the book with a black face. She had put on a black cap backward to hide her ears. Her tail is hidden as well. Probably in her pants as she is wearing black baggy pants.
"Kira-" The fox started, only to have half a dozen of people who were inside the library asking him to shut up.
Kurama gave them an apologetic look. He then reached for a piece of paper and a pen from his backpack beside him.
'What's wrong?'
Writing down the simple question, he slide the piece of paper over to Kira and gave her an annoyed look when she didn't even bother to glance at the paper. He then proceeds to kick her under the table and just grinned and pointed at the paper when she glared at him.
'None of your business!'
Showing him the piece of paper with her answer, Kira proceeds to crush it up and threw it in the direction of a rubbish bin, miraculously, her aim was straight on and it went in without touch the rim.
Kurama sighed at the scowl on Kira's face. He watched as she flipped furiously through the book, it was obvious she wasn't even reading. He just has to wait…
"Kurama? Can I stay over?"
"Sure…" Kurama replied warily. She's done being mad. Now, she's wearing a slight sulk.
…
"So… what's wrong?"
"Hiei is being Hiei"
"Oh…" Kurama sweatdropped at her answer.
There was silence as they walked slowly to Kurama's house. As Kurama unlocked his door, he decided to break the silence.
"Kira… Hiei is someone who have problems expressing how he feels."
"I know… But…"
"But what onna?"
"Nothing" Kira scowled at the fire apparition that just joined them.
"Tell me"
"Hn" Kira replied defiantly using his trademark reply. Then just smirked as Hiei glared at her for saying that. "Hn. Hn. HN!"
Hiei just scowled at her then took up his usual seat at the window.
"Kira? You can have the guest bedroom if you want."
"Thanks"
"I'll be in my room…" Kurama muttered, stepping out of range where the glaring match is taking place, then hurried went upstairs and seek refuge in his room.
Not wanting to be drawn in to his eyes, Kira quickly looked away and slumped face down on the couch.
Hiei narrowed his eyes at her. Now what. God, this girl is so damn unpredictable.
"What's wrong with you onna"
"You" She stated flatly.
Hiei just replied with a questioning look.
"Make up your damn mind how you want to act damn it! One minute we were actually talking and joking like friends and next, you're being a jerk!"
"Why the hell do you like me then! Since I'm a jerk as you said!"
"I don't like you moron! I love you!"
Hiei's eyes widened as she screamed out the three words. She then stomped upstairs to the guestroom with tears marking her trail. He then scowled at his own reflection on the window. 'Women. There's no telling what they're thinking.'
A/N: Pleasee someone answer me. Can Botan heal people? Someone help me on this please, I'm trying to make as little mistakes as possible. Thanks.
