Silver: Hey there peoples! Sorry for the shortness of this one but hey! At least I got one out today! lol Anywho... Todd will be back tomorrow so I'll try to have another chapter done in the nick of time for his arrival... well, as you might have noticed I changed my name... SilverRaindropsFall... yup! I was searching the directory and I saw like 10 pages with pennames starting with Pure so yeah... well, enjoy! Here's some cookies for the ride.
Hiei's eyes widened when the young woman kissed his cheek. He just stood outside her door for a few minutes, a finger pressed against the place she had just kissed… it felt warm even though she wasn't there anymore…
He shook his head and entered into his own quarters and quickly got dressed into a pair of midnight blue pajamas… he wished he had black but that didn't look like it was going to happen. Sitting on the windowsill, he looked out on the grounds of the mansion. It was snowing and already the grounds had a layer of white upon them.
A light shown on the snow coming from Rain's window. He wondered what she was doing but decided to leave her in privacy… she'd gone through a bit today and she just needed to rest. Rain… girl of many wonders… Hiei couldn't understand how she could get him to come with her even after it seemed as though she had no room in her life since Atem appeared.
No matter how close the cousins seemed to be and how much they seemed to love each other, Hiei just couldn't get the nagging feeling that Atem was not to be trusted to go away. But then again, Atem had come at the most inopportune moment in the fire youkai's mind. It seemed as though Rain and he had mutual feelings but it didn't look as if they would get much alone time anymore… especially seeing as Rain would meet her family tomorrow at the reunion.
The boy growled lowly and wished fate, for just one time in his life, would work to his advantage…
Hiei just had a thought come to him… he hadn't cried for the longest time yet in the past two days, Rain had cried at least a dozen times… maybe he should go in there and comfort her… wait! The maid just entered Rain's room… Hiei would just have to wait…
"Sir?"
Hiei looked up and beheld the butler from earlier, but how did he get into the room without Hiei sensing it? The fire demon just shook it off and waited for the butler to speak again…
"As I was informing you earlier, Mistress Rain is in a place of great peril. Master Atem has had her room changed but now there is another danger that has been set up to occur tomorrow. The master wants to take a portal to the reunion grounds but the portal is corrupt. Last time a person tried to go through there, they didn't come out. I'm afraid that as the saying goes, ladies go first, Master Atem might be trying to get rid of Mistress Rain. And then you will be next seeing as you're her closest friend," explained the butler. When he had said Hiei was Rain's closest friend, Hiei's eyes flickered. "Sir… I beg of you… keep the Mistress safe!" said the butler with urgency.
"Why do you care so much for Rain? And why do you keep calling her the Mistress? She doesn't live here…" said Hiei emotionlessly.
"My good sir, she looks exactly like her great aunt, my first mistress… and I couldn't bear seeing her die because it would be like watching her die all over again…" said the butler. Hiei nodded and dismissed the demon.
The more Hiei heard about Atem the less he liked him… but it was also unnerving how much the servant knew about his master's plans...
Silver: Hope you liked! R/R Byes
