The Girl, The God, and The Demons
Chapter Four: Looks, Thoughts, and Dreams
As the months passed, Diana progressed wonderfully. She learned most of the Japanese customs, although the hyper-active American inside of her did manage to show itself once in a while (like when she got stuck up a tree, "It looked interesting!" said Diana indignantly. "Uh-huh..." replied Shuichi, masking his scowl as he rescued her.) And she made sure to stay away from M&M's. She got to know Shuichi very well, but she saw him as a brother; she could mess with him, but never flirt with him ("Of course not!" said Diana, in mock horror, to Shuichi's blush.) She still wasn't sure about his feelings; however, being her (slightly) carefree self, she didn't care. Hiei, on the other hand, was open game.
Unfortunately, she didn't have enough courage to talk to the anti-gravity-haired shorty. She made it a habit to "accidentally" walk in on the team's meeting, although she just thought the boys were hanging out. Every morning she and Hiei would look at each other; Hiei would smirk playfully and she would look away, and then turn casually back toward him, and give him an odd look, as if to say 'I know you're looking at me, now LOOK AWAY!' (even though she was the one staring at him.) She became close friends with a docile girl named Yukina, who had icy blue hair, and crimson eyes, and was only present half of the time; she also got to know Keiko, a girl with short brown hair, a shade darker than Diana's, and hazel eyes. She was a strong, smart, and proud girl, who was, oddly enough, dating Yusuke. Diana questioned this relationship one day.
"Keiko, do honestly love Yusuke?" She had said, her emerald eyes twinkling evilly.
Keiko sensed her evil intentions and replied, anger mounting, "Why? What are you up to? If this is about him ditching me then-"
"N-no. Nothing like that." Diana said hastily, cutting Keiko off; she had a reputation was slapping those who displeased her, and unintentionally giving them concussions. She continued, truly curious. "But, I mean, how does he show his love? He doesn't seem the type-" Now it was her turn to be cut off.
"In ways you'll never know..." Keiko answered mysteriously, her hazel eyes becoming misty with unseen memories of Yusuke's love. Diana shrugged and hoped Yukina would change the subject. She did, but not to Diana's liking.
"What about you and Hiei?" Yukina inquired, deceivingly innocent. "Don't think we haven't noticed anything" She added threatingly, her crimson eyes flashing, suspiciously like Hiei's. Diana opened her mouth to defend herself, but decided to tell the truth.
"Okay, fine. I give in. I like Hiei. Ever since I first saw him, I've liked him." Diana sighed with resignation.
Yukina looked wonderfully happy and said excitedly, "You have got to talk to him!!!! He's going to be here after school, I know it!!!! Meet me at the gates after the last bell." Just as Diana was about to protest, the bell rang. Yukina yelled her goodbye and ran off to class hurriedly. Diana said goodbye to Keiko and headed off to her own classroom
(Later that day)
Diana sat on the roof of the house, thinking about things. She thought about the past few days. She thought about Yukina's question, Shuichi's feelings, and Hiei's looks. She also thought about how she had ditched Hiei that day, and how disappointed Yukina would be in her. What do they mean by it? What the hell do they want from me?! I'm only human... She thought anxiously. She had no idea how wrong she was.
She thought about many other things that night, but Hiei resurfaced often. She stared up at the moon with dreamy eyes. Its silvery light, clear on this cloudless night, comforted her. Her dream the previous night was as clear in her mind as the moon tonight.
It had started innocently enough. Diana's dream self had been jogging on a dusty road, in-between an area of forest. She accidentally kicked dirt into her eyes with odd Greek Moccasins and stopped briefly to rub it out. As she was lifting a gloved hand toward her eyes, she spotted a deer. It had ragged ears, and was covered in brown fur, spotted with black. Diana looked at it curiously and smiled, ignoring her wonderings about the gloves. It smiled an oddly human smile, its emerald eyes shining, and then ran off. Wait, she had thought, Deer don't have emerald eyes....She resumed her jogging, increasing her speed to a run until she had caught up to it, but it wasn't a deer anymore. She was so shocked that she ran into a tree, which, upon impact, sprinkled many leaves into her messy brown hair.
The deer had turned into a woman. This woman wore a Greek hunting outfit, complete with weaponry. She looked over Diana briefly and nodded approvingly. Diana glanced down at her outfit for the first time, and saw that it was identical to the tall stranger's. Diana and the stranger stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity; both of them noticed uncanny similarities. The stranger had freckles; Diana had freckles, the stranger had light brown hair; Diana had reddish-brown hair (called auburn); the stranger was tall; Diana was tall. Diana was shocked to find this out, but the stranger just smiled genially. Then, the sound of hooves rang out in the distance. Diana's emerald eyes widened with apprehension, as well as fear, while the stranger's turquoise eyes remained calm and kind.
A/N: Sorry if Diana seems a tad...naive. I tried to make her as normal as possible but...Oh well. She's wierd like that. Rather like me, actually ;) Please read and review! Thanks to my beta-reader, Moon Archer, who had a limitied part in this chapter, thanks to SOMEONE! ::Grumbles incoherently about stupid pervs named Molly::
