Death is Near
Chapter Two
Sakura thought she would never get this far. She was tired and weak all that blood she had lost. A few hours ago she had collapsed into Hiei's arms.
Hiei looked down at her; she was so fragile like a child.
She was a child, still is a child.
The one he found years and years ago.
Hiei looked up to the sky holding Sakura close to him.
To protect her from anything like he used to.
A Week Later
Hiei could survive off this stuff. He loved the taste, the smell, how it is all stringy.
Sakura made it for him all the time.
Well now she does, like she used to before Hiei left and served under Mukuro.
He never understood why he left Sakura.
Why he stayed to serve under Mukuro.
There were times when Mukuro would be affectionate and kiss him. Sometimes she would even try to go further but he never did.
How could Hiei, serve, listen or take demands from anyone.
Especially from a woman who at first Sakura thought Mukuro was gender confused.
He chuckled to himself, Sakura was so sneaky.
She was able to mask her energy and find Hiei without any problems.
Other then Hiei having to rescue her from demons who had tried to rape her at the front entrance of Mukuro's realm.
He loved her, Mukuro, only because she loved him and back then he didn't know what love felt like.
Sakura showed him love, he felt strange and funny around her.
She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.
"Hiei-kun you should eat." Said Sakura sweetly.
He looked up from the windowsill and looked at the bowl of Ramen sitting at his side.
Yes Ramen, her specialty for him.
Sakura's eyes were filled with sadness and hate.
Hiei got up from his seat on the windowsill and strode towards her.
"What is wrong?" he asked her.
She looked at him with those longing eyes.
They held sadness, the same sadness in which he saw when she first witnessed Hiei kissing Mukuro.
The same sadness when he saw her being beaten by that faggot father of hers.
'What could she possibly be thinking? Is she still mad at me for carrying her away from the tournament? Or is it being here in this old safe house in Makai with me alone?'
She started crying and embracing him, crying into his chest.
"She is dead because of me! Don't you hate me!"
"No" Hiei replied flatly.
He remembered what had happened the day that Sakura had actually defeated Mukuro.
"For a transmutation that big? I would need a circle; it would kill me if I used my hands."
"How..." Asked Mukuro.
"You are asking me? The pathetic Ithacan? I defeated you and still won't gain any respect. I sacrifice blood when I transmute. My blood."
Sakura paused then looked towards Hiei.
"You!" she yelled pointing to him.
"Remove your mate from my sight."
"She isn't my mate!" Hiei growled.
He walked, more like appeared in front of her.
"Mousier, I demand you take her from my sight!" Sakura yelled.
"I don't take orders from anyone." Growled Hiei.
"I don't care! Just remove her!" Sakura yelled. "She will die!"
Hiei drew his katana and using his speed he pinned her against the wall holding his katana to her neck.
"Why do you care about her? She tried to kill you. She called you an Ithacan."
"I am an Ithacan Hiei!"
Hiei winced, it is true.
She is an Ithacan, the most pathetic type of demon there is. Ithacan fled from their battles instead of standing their ground.
"You aren't pathetic! You defeated her! Your master!" He yelled in her face.
A tear slid down Sakura's cheek.
Hiei's eyes softened.
"Why are you so afraid to bring death yourself?" he asked.
Sakura looked into his cold red eyes.
"It is what you did, isn't it. You were death onna!"
Sakura remembered what had happened.
King Enma assigning her to become Death, the one who killed the people. Then the Grim Reaper would guide the dead to the Spirit World.
"I don't do that anymore Hiei!"
He looked into her eyes, now they were filled with love.
"Don't worry about her Sakura it was her fault." Hiei whispered in her ear.
"We are leaving, grab your things."
