Chapter 4: His other problem
Hiei woke up a few seconds later.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Low blood pressure," Botan said, "You stood up too fast"
"Oh." was all that Hiei said as he got up and left the room.
"Wait! Hiei, come back! I have to talk to you!" Botan yelled after him. He didn't turn back. She ran after him. When she caught up with Hiei she said, "Why didn't you turn back"
"Why should I?" he asked. By now she was about ready to smack him.
"Hiei, I just did you a favor. I just went out of my way to help you and you didn't even recognize it"
"Believe me Botan, it will not go unrecognized." With that he stepped in his room and closed the door.
Later that night.
Hiei woke up with a start. He was covered in a cold sweat and panting. When he calmed down he got up and checked to make sure no one else was up. Then he grabbed his coat and walked out to the balcony. He jumped to the nearest treebranch, then continued to jump from tree to tree until he found one with a perfect view of the silver full moon. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a pocket knife that Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama had gotten him for Christmas. "They don't need me." He thought as he rolled his sleeve up and placed the knife to it. He cut into his already scarred arm. He kept cutting until his arm was almost completely covered in blood. He smiled as he saw drops of blood fall to the ground below. He then put the knife to his vein and sliced it deeply, vertically. "I will be with you soon enough mother." He thought to himself. Then he heard a voice.
"Hiei? Is that you"
'Oh, shit.' He thought. He quickly put the knife away and rolled down his sleeve as Botan came into view, flying on her oar.
"What are you doing here?" She asked.
"I couldn't sleep so I came out. What about you"
"Same," Botan said, "isn't the moon beautiful"
"Yeah...it's great." Hiei responded. 'Get out of here Botan, please.' He thought to himself. He inadvertantly let out a small wimper. She looked at him.
"Are you alright"
"I'm fine." he responded. She then noticed something dripping from his arm.
"Is something wrong with your arm." He was about to respond when she grabbed is arm and felt the blood soaking through the fabric. She pushed up his sleeve and saw what he had done to himsel. She looked into Hiei's eyes and said, "Hiei, how could you?" A tear fell from his eyes as he looked back at her and said, "I'm sorry." By then the blood loss got to him and he felt dizzy. She managed to catch him as he passed out.
That's the end of that chapter. Upon inspection I realized that not only is Hiei very OOC in this story, but he also passes out a lot. Oh well. It is an angst story. Now is where we start to see a little bit of Hiei/Botan things happening. Please R/R! In the next chapter the others find out about Hiei's little problems and then a flashback happens. How very blunt of me.
