Alexis stood leaning against the window seal, when a knock on her door came.
"Can I come in?" came Kurama's voice
"Yes." Alexis replied
"Are you okay." he asked
"I guess." Alexis answered, shrugging.
"Are you sure?" Kurama said
"Kurama, I just came from a world that I thought was the only world around, then get these weird pains, and visions, then I'm visited by Koenma, and I find out that I'm someone that's a special case, as he put it," Alexis replied, her voice rising with each word, "Doesn't it look like I'm okay?"
Alexis now had tears streaming down her face, she bowed her head so Kurama could see them. Kurama walked up to her and put his arms around her, Alexis cried into his chest.
"You know you're the first girl I ever met who didn't fawn over me at school, but just talked to me like I was a friend, and you never let your true emotions out until it's just you and someone you can trust." Kurama said once Alexis had quieted a little.
"I don't deserve praise like that, Kurama, I'm not worth the trouble." Alexis said, wiping her face, but not looking at him.
"Are you kidding, of you're worth it." Kurama said
Alexis tried saying some else but Kurama leaned in and kissed her, Alexis was surprised but kissed Kurama back after a few seconds. When they broke the kiss, they looked at each other there eyes asking the same question, was this how it was supposed to be? There was another knock on the door, Kurama and Alexis let go of each other just in time, Yusuke poked his head in and said that dinner was ready.
Alexis didn't even eat half of what was put in front of her, after a while she said that she was going to bed. Alexis put on some silk pants and a tank top , forget the shower tonight I'm just to tired, she thought as she went to lay down on her bed. She had actually felt safe in Kurama's arms being held like that, she had always been too busy to notice her love life was very pitiful, but then she didn't care. After lying awake for hours, she finally decided to slip outside for a few minutes, the breeze felt good and helped to clear her mind.
"Can't sleep either, I take it?" came Hiei's voice behind her.
"Huh, oh yeah, just too much going on at the moment." she replied
"I can tell your eyes say much, as does your facial expression." Hiei said
"What do you mean?"
"They're clouded, you've kept your emotions locked up until now, I suggest you don't keep them in much more, good night." Hiei replied, then walked back inside.
That Hiei, Alexis thought as the breeze whipped her dark hair back, Maybe everything will work out in the end. After a couple more minutes Alexis decided to go back to her room, and try to sleep again, only when she got to her room she met a very ugly demon.
"Ah, Princess Alexendra you've finally decided to come back in, have a pleasant walk?" he said
"Who are you?" Alexis demanded, "And the name is Alexis!"
"Who I am is none of your business, and you'll be wise to come with me quietly." he replied
"You honestly think I would do that, if so you're in denial." Alexis said, I don't really have a chance against this demon, she thought reading his aura, he's at least twice as strong as I am.
Alexis was starting to feel even more tired than she was, the last thing she knew was Kurama bursting into the room and using his Rose Whip until she blacked out.
"Luckily we sensed that demon." came Yusuke's voice
"Yes, but it would have been too late, she must have said something to tick it off." came the voice of Hiei.
Demon…Last night…After a few seconds everything clicked, Alexis slowly opened her eyes, she was lying on a bed, looking around she noticed it was her room, the other's were sitting near the window, but Kurama was right next to her sitting on a chair, apparently asleep.
"Like she would say to you, or me for that instance?" Yusuke asked
"No, you idiot, it wasn't anything she would say to you or I, I think it was something of a retort," Hiei replied, "If I ever get in a shouting match with her I don't want to know what she can come up with."
Alexis stayed where she was trying to keep everything they said in, she had smiled at Hiei's comment.
"You're awake, how did you sleep?" Kurama asked quietly, startling her.
"Fine." she replied
"So the fox, and lady wake up," Hiei said then turned to Alexis, "how do you feel?"
"I've been better, but I'm fine." Alexis replied, sitting up.
"That was one of the-person's-who's-after-you minions." Hiei said
Alexis looked at him, then asked, "How have I been asleep?"
"A good few hours, we thought you were dead a couple times you know." Yusuke replied
"Trust me Yusuke, you'd know if I was dead, because I would make sure Koenma lets me haunt for a good part of the rest of your life."
Yusuke looked scared with an eyebrow twitching, picturing what it would be like to have that happen with all the people who have died because of him.
"I suppose you're hungry?" Kurama asked
"Yeah a little." she replied
They all went to the kitchen only to find Kuwabarra there pigging out, getting looks of disgust on their face they sat down, and breakfast was brought to them by the little servants.
Alexis felt better now that she had something in her stomach, but she still wanted to take a walk or something, just to clear her mind. After a few minutes when she finished eating, she said she was going to take a walk.
"You think it wise to go out at the moment?" Yusuke asked
"Don't worry about me, I know how to take care of myself and besides you've never me run like hell." Alexis replied, Yusuke and Kuwabarra laughed, Kurama smiled, and Alexis saw a hint of a smile from Hiei.
Well at least I can still make people laugh, she thought going outside, otherwise this would be really boring. A few minutes into her walk, Alexis sense something ahead of her, whether it was demon or something else she didn't know but she approached cautiously. What she found was a camp, there was no one around. Funny what sort of demons or persons would have a camp in the middle of the demon world, like this, she thought. Suddenly she felt a knife tip again her throat, and she froze.
"Don't move or make a sound and I might decide to let you go." came a semi-deep male voice.
Alexis gulped, she certainly didn't like the sound of his voice, trying to steal a glance at the man who was holding her at knife point, at first glace he looked like a zombie, Alexis yelped narrowly missing the knife blade, she got herself as far away as possible from him.
"My aren't you skittish, I've never seen you here, what are you doing?" he asked
"Besides you just about giving me a heart attack, nothing but taking a walk." Alexis replied
"Well then get walking and don't tell anyone you saw me."
"Oh gee that's nice, sheesh you scare me to do death, and all you say is get on with walking, you know an apology would've been nice."
Alexis got up and retraced her steps back to the temple, but looked back before the camp was out of her site, but nothing was there. Wha-how can that be, she thought. Alexis came through the door when she saw Yusuke chasing Kuwabarra, moving automatically to the side, seeing as to this was an everyday sport of theirs, she continued her way to the kitchen.
The little servants were only too glad to give her a snack, going towards her room she nearly ran into Hiei.
"Hey watch where you're going next time, and Kurama's looking for you." he said
Alexis looked back at him, and retorted, "Gee is it only Kurama who has politeness or something!?"
All he said was 'Hn', what is with men, she thought turning around, but this time nearly ran into Kurama.
"I thought that was you shouting at Hiei, Koenma asked me to train you, and bring out your spirit energy." Kurama said
"Good, because I'm just about ready to kill someone, don't know who but someone." Alexis replied, half-shouting.
"You must be if you're like this." Kurama said
Alexis followed Kurama outside, there seemed to be a training area there.
"Do you have a preferred weapon Alexis?" Kurama asked
"Preferred weapon…yeah a bow and arrow." Alexis replied
"Can you picture one in your mind?"
"Yeah, of course."
"Good now, close your eyes, and try to form the bow in your left hand."
Alexis did as she was told, after a few minutes she could feel energy focusing on her left hand. The next moment Alexis opened her eyes and saw flaming energy in the form of a bow.
"Do you have some sort of idea of what to do?" Kurama asked
"Yeah." Alexis replied, then formed an arrow in her other hand, took aim and sent it at a tree.
The tree as a result fell over and the spirit arrow disappeared, but another result was that it was some wake up call for Hiei, who just happened to be in the tree sleeping, was now rudely awaken.
"WHO THE HECK DID THAT!?" he shouted
"Sorry Hiei." Alexis replied, you deserve it shorty, she thought.
"Oh it's you, don't you have anything better to do other than interrupt a person's sleep?" Hiei said
"Well sorry, your royal highness, did I wake you up in the middle of your beauty nap?" Alexis retorted, she may be polite and kind but she could throw insults at people as well.
"Baka onna, it was not a beauty nap."
"Oh wait I forgot was it a million and one ways to kill Kuwabarra?" Alexis said
"Actually it was." Hiei replied
(O.O'') Alexis didn't know quite what to say, but Kurama did, "Come on you two lets go and get some lunch."
"Can I come in?" came Kurama's voice
"Yes." Alexis replied
"Are you okay." he asked
"I guess." Alexis answered, shrugging.
"Are you sure?" Kurama said
"Kurama, I just came from a world that I thought was the only world around, then get these weird pains, and visions, then I'm visited by Koenma, and I find out that I'm someone that's a special case, as he put it," Alexis replied, her voice rising with each word, "Doesn't it look like I'm okay?"
