Chapter 12: Never meant to be

Hiei followed her ki for at least an hour before it finally stopped on one particular building. He stopped on the ground in front of a pair of large engraved doors.

Pulling one open of the doors he walked quietly in to the room and found Shi standing in the middle of the long aisle her black clothing now flooded with golden light.

"I told you not to follow me." She looked down from where she had been staring at and let out a breath, "then again I shouldn't have expected less from you."

Hiei's P.O.V

Looking around at my surroundings I saw the high vaulted ceiling and the stained glass in the windows. Instrumental music played lightly in the background and the whole time I looked around I had a very odd feeling.

"Where are we?" I asked

"A chapel." She answered as I directed my gaze back to her. "Why are we here?" I asked. "Can I tell you things?" She asked as I observed her saying, 'things'

"This is where I was born in this very chapel. My mother knew I was going to be born a demon I suppose. So she used the theory that demons couldn't step foot in religious places and tried to prevent my birth by having me here."

The whole time she spoke I could literally hear the sadness in her voice. "I had heard before on numerous accounts that my mother tried as hard as she could to prevent me from being born."

"But she couldn't stop it so I was born… those who where there said she screamed like she was being murdered during the whole thing." Her body shuddered a bit as I listened to her intently the fox said I should listen to her and that I would hn… this seemed to beyond me.

"As I grew older the hatred my mother had toward me only grew every day she would yell at me for the simplest thing and always wished I was never born."

She stopped a moment and I knew it was painful for her to tell me these things but it was her will to tell me if she wanted to tell it then I would listen.

"Finally as time went on I couldn't take it my very soul started to believe everything she said… that I was worthless and that I should die I finally brought myself to leave her and go to a orphanage."

"So you didn't want to become a foster child?" I asked from behind signaling that I had been listening to her every word. "No all I wanted was to be loved and know that someone didn't hate me that's all I ever wanted."

The smell of salt mixed with water filled my nose and I knew she was crying but what was I to do about it? It wasn't like me to be the comforting type that was the fox's job I was the quiet one but what now?

Maybe words could help as much as I hated to admit it she was meant to be my mate and maybe knowing that I went threw something like that would help… someway.

"I know how you feel." I told her as she turned quietly towards me. I cast my gaze up to the high ceiling, "I was born in a ice demon race called the Koorime's these are all females no males."

I could tell she was listening even though I could barely see her, "my mother broke the code and mated with a male resulting in my sister and me."

"You have a sister?" She asked as I nodded and let my head down towards her now. "Oh sorry please continue." She said I let out a slow breath but did as requested.

"I was thrown off a cliff by the elders there hoping I would die but I survived the fall. I was brought up by a band of thieves who finally abandoned me afraid of my power I didn't blame them really." I said shrugging lightly. I had to admit it wasn't that hard to explain my past to Shi.

"I went to Shigure and got a Jagan implant to find my homeland-."

"What's a Jagan?" She questioned I sighed and undid my bandana covering my eye. "This it helps to find objects or people and helps increase my power." I explained leaving out that it also chooses your mate.

Actually I was surprised that she simply nodded in understanding I guess it answered her questions to what a Jagan was from what she read in that book.

"I found my sister in the human world I met Kurama stole the artifacts of darkness got caught by Yusuke and was forced to join this team Kurama also." I said making it a long story short.

"Wow rough." She said wiping her eyes a small smile appearing on her face. "No one is going to hate you here." I said then understand what I had just said, I almost slapped myself for saying it to.

Although a smile appeared on her face showing I had said the right thing, "I realized that… what about you?" I looked at her and said nothing signaling my confusion.

"Do you hate me?"

Normal P.O.V

(An odd time to change but I think in this chapter I am starting to write it wrong.)

It took Hiei a moment to answer her question, "no I don't hate you." He finally said staring to walk away. "Where are you going?" Shi asked running after him.

"We need to get back before Kurama and everyone gets suspicious." Hiei explained going quietly out the door Shi following behind him. "You seemed anxious to get out of their can I ask why?" Shi questioned walking beside him.

"Your mother was half right demons get a very bad feeling in religious places like church's; well at least some do." Hiei explained remembering the scream he had heard from her mind and why he had gone into her mind.

"Is that why you hate religious places?" Shi looked over at him a bit confused, "because you were born there out of hatred?"

"Hai I don't know why I just can't get over it… I know it seems odd but while I was being born I swear I can remember hearing my mother's scream."

"And it stuck in your memory?" Hiei questioned coming to the conclusion that the scream was her mother's. "Hai how did you know?" She asked obviously wondering about him.

"I just know." Hiei was on her good side right now and he didn't want to spoil it by telling her he invaded her memory and heard the scream.

"Come on." He said taking her hand and flitting from view reappearing on the balcony of there hotel room. "You certainly have a way of getting around don't you?" She said the smile returning on her face.

"Hn." He said as she walked back into the room.

-

A loud banging on the door woke both Shi and Hiei the next morning. "Get up you to lovers!" Came Yusuke's voice from the other side of the door. "Did you lock the door?" Hiei asked a bit annoyed as Shi turned over in the bed. (Hiei slept in the corner.)

"Yeah." She said as the banging came again. "Get up both of you lovers Kurama told us everything Hiei!" "Your busted!" Kuwabara's voice came next to Yusuke's as Hiei's eyes snapped open instantly.

"Shut up." He said. "Get up guys don't make us tell!"

"What are they talking about?" She asked in her pillow. "Nothing." He said getting up and going to the door. "Don't you dare open that door." She said not even looking at him.

"To bad." He said knowing he had a bone to pick with Kurama as he opened the door and both Yusuke and Kuwabara instantly ran into the room and Hiei into theirs.

"Get up Shi we're going to the beach!" They both shouted to the half asleep girl.

"Oh bite me." She said to them but sitting up nonetheless. Meanwhile Hiei found Kurama standing out on the balcony. "Do you have a reason for telling the idiots my business?" Hiei asked trying to keep from slicing the kitsune's throat.

"I'm really sorry Hiei they threatened to tell my mother the truth about me if I didn't say what was going on." Kurama explained turning fully to Hiei.

(Does anyone know what Gomen Nasai or however that is spelled… does anyone know what it means!)

"Why did they want to know?" Hiei asked understanding that Kurama had a sensitive spot when it came to his human mother… although he was still upset that he told Yusuke and Kuwabara of all people.

"They were just concerned that's what friends do they worry about each other." Hiei looked away at the thought of it. "Hn." He said.

"Come on Shi we're going down to the beach!" Yusuke shouted dragging the half asleep girl out of bed. "Fine, fine I'm up now go get ready." She said taking her suitcase into the bathroom.

"You to Hiei you're coming to!" Yusuke said popping his head back into the room. "Nani?" He said as Kurama smiled for some unknown reason to the fire demon.

"We're going to the beach and they say your going to." Hiei was still a bit confused as Kurama started away. "Meaning?" He asked following Kurama.

"Means you have to change into this and then we go down to the beach. You do know what a beach is don't you?" Kurama asked holding up a black swimsuit and handing it to Hiei.

(Oh my god I am like laughing so hard while writing this! Just the very thought of the whole scene!)

"Of coarse. I refuse to wear this." He said turning away. "Come on Hiei it'll be fun!" Kurama reassured but Hiei still didn't take the black trousers.

Hiei eyed the fox a moment before snatching the black swimsuit and headed towards the bathroom mumbling something about baka kitsune.

-

About twenty minutes later everyone was in a swimsuit and on there way to the beach was right next to their hotel. "Okay let's go!" Yusuke shouted running across the empty road with Kuwabara right behind him.

Suddenly Yusuke stopped in his tracks a evil smirk appearing across his face as he turned back towards Kurama, Shi, and Hiei.

Instantly he started whispering something to Kuwabara who smiled and looked over in Hiei's direction. After a moment both boys ran over to Hiei and took hold of his arms.

"What are you doing?" He asked furiously as they started dragging the squirming fire demon onto the sand. The beach wasn't to crowded at all and the ocean was a unclear dark blue

"Lighten up Shorty!" Kuwabara said as they ran across the sand Kurama and Shi right behind them but not protesting in the two's actions.

"Put me down!" Hiei ordered as they reached the water's edge but kept running until they were about knee deep. "PUT ME DOWN!" Hiei ordered as they started swinging him back and forth.

"As you wish Hiei." They both said finally letting go of Hiei sending him flying far out into the water and under.

Kurama and Shi ran over to the two who stood proudly. "Why did you do that?" Kurama asked as they stopped. "Because we could." Kuwabara answered as Yusuke nodded.

Hiei's P.O.V

Salty water surrounded me in every direction I hadn't been able to catch a lot of breath before being dragged under this water the current of it spinning me in every direction.

So here I was in freezing water barely able to feel anything now, not knowing which way was up and running out of air to go off of.

If I ever got out of this water I swear I will kill those idiots.

Slowly my air supply ran low and I was forced to gasp in not breathable liquid.

Normal P.O.V

"Hey guys." Shi called to the three boys who were talking about what Yusuke and Kuwabara had just did. "Can Hiei swim?" She asked as they looked over at the place of the water where Hiei had landed.

"I don't know do you Kurama?" Yusuke asked as they looked at the fox. "I've never seen him swim before I don't think he can." He explained.

"Yusuke you idiot!" Shi shouted at him as they ran over to where he had landed. There they found a darker spot where Hiei was.

Kurama and Yusuke instantly grabbed him and brought him above water. He didn't move by himself as they picked him up fully and moved back to the shore setting him down carefully.

"Hiei!" Kurama called taking his pulse. "He's still breathing." He said breathing a slight sigh of relief. "Hm how do we get him conscious then?" Kuwabara asked in thought.

"I know!" Yusuke said bending down and starting to poke where his Jagan was under the bandana. Instantly the fire demon sat straight up and smacked Yusuke away. "He's back." Yusuke stated rubbing the place Hiei had hit him.

Coughing a bit he spit out the remaining salt water that was in him. "I'm going to kill both of you." He stated glaring daggers at the two.

"Um… why don't we just have fun now!" Yusuke said as both took off into the water. "Who knew you couldn't swim?" Shi said leaning back on her hands.

"Hn." He said looking out onto the water. "It's not that hard you know." She said her gray eyes shimmering in the sunlight.

"Hn." He said again looking out onto the water as she smiled at him. Kurama who had been sitting next to him stood up seeing that it might be best to leave them alone and walked over to get some things to put out in there claimed space.

"I could teach you if you wanted." Shi said as he turned and met her eyes. "No I don't like the water." He said as she sighed a bit.

"So what you need to get over it. Come on it won't be hard." She said grabbing his hand and dragging him back into the water. "I don't want to onna!" She ignored him and pulled more on him.
