Hey everyone well I'm actually quite happy to be updating this story! I love the character of Shi and I like the SLOWLY growing relationship of Shi and Hiei! Anyways without further ado let's start the story!
Chapter… something: Lies all over again
The next day Yusuke had received a call from Koenma and according to the detective he was furious that they had left without any word to him and were to get back to the temple as soon as possible.
"Alright everyone ready to go?" Yusuke asked popping into Shi and Hiei's room sadness obvious in his voice. "Ready when you are." Shi said closing her rather small bag and looking up at Yusuke.
"Alright then let's go." He said as everyone started into the hallway.
"Do we have to take that… plane again?" Hiei questioned when they were in the elevator. Yusuke and Kuwabara both smiled from memory of Hiei before, "yes Hiei we have to take a plane." They said now anxious to get back on a plane and see how the fire demon would react.
- (I know jumpy but I want to get this part all over with I promise I won't be as jumpy next time!)
"If you force me onto one of those again I swear I'm going to kill you all." Hiei announced as they walked off the gate into the crowded airport.
"We won't Hiei I don't think we'll be going anywhere for a while anyways." Kurama said as they made their way to the baggage claim and then to the open door.
The ride back had been rather bumpy since the plane hit a thunderstorm as they had started to land and to put it simply Hiei didn't like it one bit.
Outside was dark with the night sky the only light from the frequent thunder and the streetlights illuminating the sheets of rain that were falling.
"Dang the bus isn't here yet." Yusuke said as he walked over to them from a desk that held the bus schedules. "Then we'll wait." Shi said heading for the sliding doors that led to the outside.
"Where are you going?" Kuwabara asked as she turned to them, "I love thunderstorms and this one is no exception I'll catch up to you when the bus gets here." She said turning back around.
"We're not allowed to leave her alone though." Yusuke said a confused look on his face.
"I think someone should follow her Koenma is already mad at us enough without us losing her." Kurama said looking around at everyone but also keeping an eye on Shi who stood just inside the door looking at the rain.
"Good now who should go?" Kuwabara said as a moment of silence washed over all four of them and everyone looked at Hiei who was barely paying attention.
"Nani?" He asked noticing all of them looking at him. "Go watch after Shi Hiei I mean she is meant to be your mate-." Before Kuwabara could even finish Hiei started to unsheathe his Katana.
The blade was about halfway out by the time Kurama grabbed his arm using all his strength to keep it from coming out anymore. "Hiei you can't use weapons in a public place like this." He tried to explain as both Kuwabara and Yusuke started to move back a bit.
"Do you want to get unwanted attention?" Kurama asked knowing Hiei always tried to stay away from being noticed and would rather be without anyone paying attention to him.
Unfortunately a few eyes had already witnessed the scene and were watching the four closely. Hiei glared at Kuwabara but lightened his grip letting the blade go back into the Sheath.
"Hn." He said glaring daggers at both of them letting them know they had crossed the line with his tolerance. He walked quietly away from them and threw the pair of double doors Shi had been standing in before.
Kurama shook his head then turned to the other two boys, "don't do that again." He said as the fear started draining from both their faces.
"Boy Hiei's pretty touchy now isn't he?" Yusuke observed watching the fire demon getting drenched with rain as he walked into the darkness of the storm.
"Yes and you will probably live longer if you keep your mouth shut." Kurama said taking a seat in one of those cheap leather seats facing the bus ramp.
Meanwhile Shi stood facing up at the rain drenched to the bone with rainwater when she picked up Hiei's ki. "What are you doing Hiei?" She asked not bothering to look at him or even move from her position.
It was pitch black all around her without any street lights only the faint and quick light from the lightning illuminating everything for a second before shrouding everything in the darkness that only a storm could bring.
"You're not allowed to be alone remember?" He said his voice coming from beside her. Her head fell slightly her hair falling over her shoulders before she looked over in his direction.
"I know but at least I gave it a shot." She said seeing his crimson eyes threw the sheets of rain a quick light from lightning showing his form then shrouding it back into black.
"So why is it always you who follows me?" She asked a smirk passing across her face. "They force me." He said walking closer to her.
"Do you like thunderstorms?" She asked him suddenly.
"I suppose." He said shrugging a bit. "I hate to cut this so short but our bus is here and I think everyone will be upset if we're not there." Shi said seeing the headlights from the bus enter the airport ramp.
Hiei nodded and started towards the covered ramp where they met up with Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama. "How long is it to the temple from here do you think?" Shi asked Yusuke stepping in line to get on.
"Maybe a half hour." He said as Hiei stepped by Kurama and quickly flared his energy to dry himself.
"You know I learned you really do lose control of your temper Hiei." Kurama said quietly smiling as Hiei glared at him.
"Shut up." He ordered
- (Time to skip to when they get BACK cause I can't think of anything for anyone to say.)
The temple itself was damp with the rain that had passed by and quiet without any lights to bring the place to life if even in the slightest. "I take it you both are staying here tonight?" Kurama said unlocking the door into the front room of the house.
"Yeah it's late and I don't feel like going home right now." Yusuke explained stretching his arms. "Yeah and I don't want to have another one of my sister's study nights." He said.
"Well I don't know about you but I am going to bed it's late." Shi announced starting down the hall. "Good night everyone." She said before disappearing down the hall.
"So Hiei we never got to discuss this." Yusuke said sitting on the couch.
Kurama instantly picked up on what he was talking about and started shaking his head slightly. Hiei on the other hand stayed quiet unable to figure out what they were talking about.
"Yeah Shorty." Kuwabara agreed sitting in the chair on the other side of the room. "Do you like Shi?" Yusuke asked a smile appearing across his face.
Hiei was quiet for a moment, "hn ne." He said before flitting out of the room and into his tree the whole time one thought running threw his mind, did he like Shi?
--
The next few days were relatively quiet Yusuke and Kuwabara visited the temple quite often and got in trouble with Koenma for going on that trip without telling him but other then that they had fun annoying Hiei as much as possible.
Hiei on the other hand had yet to answer his own question, he stayed quiet trying hard to figure out the answer to the question.
Today was a school day but it had ended just a little bit ago Shi and Kurama were starting walk down the sidewalk towards the temple when something familiar caught Shi's eyes.
It was Kyo he went to that school but she had never known it or had even recognized it, "hey Kurama I'll be right back." She said and before he could protest she ran off towards him.
"Hey Kyo." She said stopping behind him and placing a hand on his shoulder lightly. He turned towards her and smiled, "Hey Shi wasn't expecting to see you here of all places." He said a bright smile coming on his face.
Kyo's P.O.V
"Yeah I know." She said to me then I remember it… what her friend Hiei had told me the other night in the ally way.
Flashback:
Hiei let him go and he instantly started running down the alley. "If I catch you with her I will not hesitate to kill you." Hiei called after him his deadly crimson eyes shining threw the nights darkness.
Kyo looked back once more but when he did nothing was there Hiei had gone.
End Flashback
My eyes became a bit wide and I stepped back from her instantly seeing the confused look on her face. "Kyo? What's-."
"No I'm sorry I… I got to go." I said starting away but I could almost feel her coming after me again. "What's wrong why?" She asked stopping me in my tracks I suppose the only way to get her away from me is to tell her what her creepy friend said to me.
"I'm not allowed to associate with you Shi." I said still backing up a bit. "Who said?" She asked her confused look growing more.
"Your creepy friend… Hiei he said if I did he wouldn't hesitate to kill me." She looked taken back by the plain truth but that wasn't any of my concern. "I have to go Shi." I said before going off in the opposite direction leaving her there in the middle of the sidewalk.
Normal P.O.V
Shi stood there, reality sinking into her quicker then she would want to. Suddenly Kurama came up behind her, "Shi, what happened with Kyo?" He asked looking from her to Kyo.
"H-Hiei." Was all she could say before she grabbed the kitsune's arm and started running off pulling him behind her. "Shi what are you talking about?" He asked pulling her to a stop and trying to get something out of her.
"Hiei he's a liar." She said anger consuming her features as she started off again but this time in a slower speed. "How so?" Kurama asked from beside her.
She didn't answer and something in the fox told him she wasn't going to answer him either.
When they reached the house Shi burst threw the door finding the detective and Kuwabara sitting around the room watching T.V "Where is Hiei?" She ordered as they turned their attention to the girl.
"Outside." Both said together and with that she was instantly out the door again with the help of Kurama. (Remember she can't open any doors or windows in the house and can't leave the temple grounds without someone… boy that would suck.)
"What's wrong with her?" Kuwabara asked as Kurama set his stuff down by the door, "I don't know I couldn't get it out of her." He said.
Meanwhile Shi ran out into the cold temples air finding Hiei easily on the other side of the area. She ran over to him and stood behind him.
"Shi?" He asked turning around slightly towards her.
"Your swore Hiei." He looked a bit confused. "You swore you would never lie to me!" She shouted at him suddenly feeling the coldness of the winter air. (I don't care I'm making it winter!)
He turned fully towards her, "What are you talking about?" He asked that slightly confused look still on his face.
"Kyo you told me you didn't do anything to him he told me today that you threatened to kill him if he was around me." She took a ragged breath ignoring the numbness of the cold, "and then you said you wouldn't lie to me when you did!" She said concluding finally.
"Why?" She asked her voice now sounding almost weak but desperate for an answer. Suddenly the coldness got to her and she felt herself fall to her knees onto the cold cement.
Hiei who had been listening intently got down from the ledge and went over to her bending down to her height as she looked at him straight in his emotionless crimson eyes.
"Because I didn't want you with anyone." He said quietly.
A/N: Okay I thought that was a good place to stop it for now. So what did everyone think about that? Anyone have any ideas or suggestions I could use cause I will use anything you send in to me?
Please review!
