Chapter 9 Hope

'Who are you?' Rain asked finally after two weeks.

She has been trapped in the same place for two weeks and didn't know who or what was keeping her there or why she couldn't move.

A dark figure appeared in front of the glass tube which held Rain, and she smiled.

"You need not worry, Rain, My name is Mukuro."

'That name, I have heard of you before.'

"Of course you have heard of me, I'm sure Yusuke has mentioned me. Or maybe even Hiei?"

'I don't give a fuck, why can't I move?'

"The substances in the water holding you have drained all your energy, don't try to move. It will be wasted time; the water is also letting me hear your thoughts, so be careful what you think."

The sound of Mukuro's voice was starting to become annoying.

'What do you want with me?'

"You will find out soon enough, after all he would be looking for you right about now."

Hiei was frustrated and annoyed. No matter how much he hated to admit it, he was worried about Rain's safety.

'I don't understand, why this pathetic half demon is always on my mind. I don't care I have to find her.'

It was strange no scent, no trace of Rain was left in the human world.

'If she isn't here where would she be? Makai?'

That was it! Makai someone must have taken her there.

'Why?'

He raced off to find a portal.

'Release me now!' Rain's eyes were filled with anger.

"I can see you're pissed, I do not fear you. Don't even think about throwing any threats at me."

Rain was pissed, and not being able to slit Mukuro's throat was fueling her rage.

'How long have I been here?'

"A few weeks now, you have been asleep for most though. Your energy is completely gone and without rest outside of the machine you cannot get any energy back. We don't need that anyways do we?" Mukuro smiled and walked out of the room.

'Hiei, I cant see you, I miss you, your scent. I want to smell you, to look into your crimson eyes, play with your soft hair, touch your smooth skin

I love you.'

Hiei ran through Makai, as fast as he could go. He picked up her scent but no trace of energy.

"Damn it onna you better be alive."

The thought of her being dead made Hiei want to kill someone.

After a half an hour he stopped near Mukuro's small castle.

"Why the hell would Rain be here?" Hiei questioned.

Rain was in deep sleep while Mukuro watched her, eyeing the tear drops around the pathetic half demons neck.

'I was dreaming, Hiei-san was angry and worried. I hope he was worried about me. He kept screaming in his mind, "You better be alive and don't give up hope onna, I'm coming." I yelled, "I won't Hiei-san, I won't give up hope." I miss him, I want him to hold me in his arms, to press against his muscled chest. Please come for me.'

Mukuro smiled, "I see you do have feelings for him. Do not fret, he is already here, I can sense his presence." Then she left the room once again.

Mukuro's doors flew open, breaking off their hinges.

"I knew you would come." Said Mukuro with a smirk on her face looking at Hiei, who just walked past his big entrance.

"WHERE IS SHE!" Hiei yelled fire in his eyes.

"It is nice to see you too Hiei." Said Mukuro taunting him.

Hiei walked fast up to her looking into her eyes with a death glare.

"You didn't answer my question, or are you deaf? WHERE IS SHE!"

"Follow me Hiei."

Every ounce of Rain's energy was gone. She was asleep and still alive.

Hiei's eyes widened at the sight of Rain in this prison state.

He turned his head at Mukuro who was too looking at Rain.

"What have you done to her?" Fire still in his eyes.

"She is fine." Mukuro reassured him. "I used her to get to you, it worked, and it lured you here. So why did you leave?"

Hiei ignored her continuing to watch Rain, his fist clenched at his sides shaking violently with anger.

"I can let her out now, if you want. A few days rest will bring her back to normal."

Hiei walked up to the glass prison and punched it. The glass shattered, all the water poured out and Rain fell forward into his arms.

"Put her in your room." Suggested Mukuro.

Hiei glared at Mukuro and carried Rain down the hallway.

"Hiei-san, its you, you smell good." Said Rain sniffing the air, as Hiei carried her bridal style.

"Shut up onna, you're weak. Go to sleep" demanded Hiei.

Rain nuzzled her head against his chest.

'Don't leave me.'

'Hn, I wont onna.'

As soon as Hiei got to his old room from before he left, he placed Rain on his bed. She instantly fell asleep.

"Hn, baka onna." Hiei smirked before sitting on the window seat before falling asleep.

'She is safe and that's all that matters.'
