He Stole My Heart Like He Stole My Life

I sat at my window in my apartment watching the kids around outside. Why is it that in movies when something depressing happens like love walks away from someone, it rains? Does it happen for a visual affect or something? Well I might not have had love walk away, but I was taken from people I began to really be attached to. Even Hiei, as much as I don't want to admit, I started to like more and more every time I looked at him.

"Meow," my kitty rubbed against my leg.

"Hello kitty," I said to him and looked longingly outside. My boss called and left a message saying I still had to work tonight. They say that when a tragic moment comes by it takes your breath away. At first I had thought that was five years ago when my father disowned, but now…now I believe I was wrong.

Something caught my attention, taking me back from my thoughts. It was my doorbell, so naturally I had to answer it. Ayame causally walked in after I opened the door. She was kind of like my sister, but don't sisters talk often?

"I'm glad your back," she told me and sat down. I went to the kitchen and stood over the sink. This doesn't feel right, I don't belong here. How did I ever live here in the first place? All these rich people thinking they know everything and whats right and wrong, Ayame was different from all of them though.

"Thank you," I whispered to know one. It's so weird how the mind thinks. In just two short weeks I seemed to have made a new personality. Maybe I could…. No…I can't leave right now. People would talk.

"Botan I know you didn't just leave for vacation," Ayame appeared in the kitchen doorway. "I want to know what happened." She was a good person and as I looked at her I could tell she was worried about me.

"I met some people," I told her. "They thought I could help them, but in the end they helped me." She was confused by that, but I just waved it off. "Ayame remember when you were engaged that slime ball Teshio?"

"Please don't remind," Ayame's eyes widened a bit in remembrance. "I'm so happy you talked me out of that. I still can't believe he had cheated on me…on the day before the wedding… WITH my Suki my bridesmaid."

"Well, you told me you would owe me," I told her, my mind spinning with a plan. "Well I have a favor to ask."

"Sure anything," Ayame nodded and walked closer.

"Well you see this is my idea…" I told her.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX (Now in Hiei's POV)

That stupid woman was gone and anyway happiness that was once in this house is now gone. It's the way it should be. We need to keep a clear head so that we can help Yukina like it all started, until a distraction came here. Even if that was my doing it still shouldn't have gotten out of hand.

"Hiei can you answer the phone?" Kurama asked from Yukina's room. The phone was ringing? I looked for that inferno noise maker and answered it.

"Hello?" I asked to whom ever decided to call.

"Hello is this a relative of Yukina Jaganshi?" a man asked and I replied with a simple yes. "Well we would like to make an appointment for her surgery."

"Wait, we haven't the money for that," I said to the doctor like we had before. Why couldn't they understand that?

"But it's already been paid off sir," he informed me. That made no sense, what the devil was he talking about? "A woman named Ayame Gingei has paid for the surgery and now we would like to fulfill her wish."

Who? I did not know that name. Ayame Gingei? Hmmm…. I'll have to look into this. "Alright, when is the closest date you have opened for her?"

A/N: okay I know that was like the shortest thing EVER. But I need to get that out of the way before the next sha-bang came into play which is the next chapter. Who are these mystery people outside Ayame's house, why can't Botan stop thinking about only Hiei, and why is she packing? Hope you enjoyed this and review my. I'm in much need of reviews!
