Hello everyone here is the fifth chapter it makes up for the last one completely I swear!

Chapter 5: I'm real

Shi walked silently to her home after spending the day just sitting in the park thinking about the two odd guys from earlier. (Anyone ever wonder why it's always the park?)

Also she was wondering why the word 'mate' kept coming into her mind. She had read enough of her book to know that 'mate' was a demon word for their lover.

(Or so I hear please don't like yell at me if I'm wrong 'cause I probably am.)

(Also if I haven't said it before then I'm saying it now Shi is both telekinetic AND a telepath but she has more control over her telekinetic side.)

She clutched her book to her chest and opened the front door into her foster families home. Instantly she was met by her mother's screaming at her.

"Why weren't you at school today?" Shi was starting to think that screaming and yelling was all her mother did, or maybe it was just that she did everything wrong.

"I had some issues with my powers and some guys helped me." Her mother put her fingers to her temples.

"That is the biggest lie I have ever heard you say."

"It's not a lie!" Shi yelled at her.

"No one would help you, you're a freak and that's all no one would help you!" Shi clutched her book and looked away unable to think of a good comeback… or just something to say.

"So what happened why didn't you go to school?" She asked again her voice pure anger.

"I told you what happened." Shi muttered still looking at the floor.

"Give me that!" Her mother shouted snatching her book from her arms and throwing it carelessly down the hall.

Then without warning she came forward and backhanded Shi across the face causing her to stumble into the nearby wall. (Yeah those types of things hurt! My friend Angelchild2691 did it to my forehead and it HURT!)

"Get upstairs I don't want to see you anymore." She ordered. (Anyone notice I have a tendency to write about abusive parents?)

Shi looked at her mother as she walked up the stairs and into her room slamming the door as hard as she could.

She sat on her bed and started to concentrate trying to teleport her book to her. The electricity only flickered a few time but then died uselessly.

'I need to calm down.' Shi scolded herself literally slapping herself.

"Why do you put up with her?" Came a emotionless but still deadly voice causing Shi to almost jump in surprise.

"How dif you get in here?" She asked as Hiei appeared from the corner of the room. He motioned with his eyes to the open window.

"How did you know where I lived?"

"Why do you ask so many questions?" He retorted, "I followed you , so why do you put up with her?" Shi looked down.

"What else can I do I have no where to go." She explained

"You can go anywhere you want you just refuse to." He let out a breath and went over to her.

Instantly she started to move away, he stopped and looked at her with deep crimson eyes, the slightest bit of confusion in them.

"I'm afraid of you." She admitted still a little tense.

Hiei thought about what to do then finally held out his hand to her, "I'm human." He lied, "Touch me; I'm real I'm just like you."

(My Dad said whose exact words to me when he came home from Iraq for two weeks, he's back there now but his words left an everlasting effect on me.)

(Honestly that's were I get all my emotional quotes and words really he's like my resource. I just thought it would be good to add that.)

Shi hesitantly touched his hand with one finger, before she could react Hiei pulled her to the ground in a sitting position.

He took her other hand and held it up like she had had it earlier today, "Concentrate on teleporting your book." He ordered.

She starred at him for a moment then complied the flickering of the electricity happening once more.

But this time when they started to fade Hiei put his hands on hers and put the tiniest bit of power into it the bolts of lightning instantly were surrounded by a almost transparent flame.

After about three minutes the book appeared and the flame and electricity diminished. Hiei stood up and looked down at her (who was still sitting on the floor.)

"If you ever bring yourself to leave, go to Kurama's house he'll accept you no matter what." Before she could reply he climbed out her window instantly melting in with the darkness.

She used her power to close the window then got back up onto her bad. 'He's very mysterious, but his words comfort me.' She thought getting up and getting ready for bed.

Hiei appeared in his tree outside Kurama's house. 'I'm afraid of you.' Her words repeated themselves time and again as he looked into the night sky.

(I made it night; oh feel my power!)

Sure he had been told on numerous accounts that humans as well as demons were afraid of him and he never had a problem with it.

But it had been from the girl who was supposed to be his mate. As hard as it was for him to believe it he hated that she had said that.
