As we continued on our walk, Suichi did most of the talking, whilst I did semi-listening. Why semi-listening? Because I was too busy staring at his flawless face to listen fully.
He's so beautiful...his piercing green eyes...rose red hair...creamy skin...
It took all I had to keep from drooling
"Do you like gardening Miss Rebecca?" His question snapped me back to reality. I stared at him blankly, trying to remember how to talk. He chuckled. "I said do you like gardening?" I nodded vigorously. "Oh yes! I LOVE it! It's my favorite pass-time!" I stopped before I continued on my rant of inanity.
Oh great...I must sound like a freak, getting so hyped up about gardening. Gardening is stupid...I mean, it's just digging holes and putting stuff in the ground. I bet he thinks I'm such a weirdo no-
"Really? It's my favorite pass-time as well!"
Have I ever said how much I adore gardening? It is possibly the greatest thing known to man!
I smiled. "Wow! How cool! What kinds of plants do you like gardening?" He returned the smile and I nearly died from joy. "I like flowers the best. I find them very fascinating and beautiful."
I grinned and stuffed my hands in my pockets to keep myself from stealing him away! "Me too! They really are quite fascinating. My favorite flower is the rose." He looked at me for a second, then said, "Mine as well!" I turned my head and stared at him. The pale sky made his face stand out; His glorious face, framed by a soft river of hair. And his eyes...never before had I met anyone with such captivating eyes...
They were so captivating in fact, that I was unable to see the large crack in the sidewalk. "ACK!" I flew forward as my foot hit the crack. I closed my eyes and waited for my face to be introduced to the concrete. But nothing happened...
What? No immense pain? No loud CRACK as every bone in my face snaps? Did I hit the ground so hard that I died? Was Suichi standing over my lifeless bodying saying, "Oh, if only she wasn't so clumsy, we could have been more then friends! But alas! She is no more! Parting is such sweet sorrow!" Then was he walking off! WAIT! NO! I CAN BE REINCARNATED! WE CAN STILL BE LOVERS!
My eyes flew open. I looked around. I wasn't dead...and my face wasn't making good friends with the sidewalk!
But why-?
I looked up. Suichi looked back. He smiled softly. "You really should watch where you're going, Miss Rebecca." It was then that I realized he had saved me from breaking every bone in my face, certain death...and that his hand was on my waist. I went bright red.
Oh no! This is all too sudden! We've only just met! I'M NOT READY FOR THIS KIND OF INTIMACY! We need to at least know each other for another...FIVE MINUTES!
Before I could react to this VERY awkward situation, I heard a voice behind me...and needless to say, it scared the beepers out of me.
"MEEP!" I jumped backwards, nearly falling again. As I regained my balance by gracefully waving my arms like a mad bird, I saw the owner of the voice. It was a short man in a black cloak, with overly spiky black hair, and bright red eyes. Red eyes that glared at Suichi.
"Kurama, what are you doing?"
Kurama?...who's Kurama? Is that some sort of nick-name for Suichi? Hey! Who is this short scary man and why is he calling my darling Suichi, Kurama! Rawr!
Suichi, or should I say, Kurama, sighed. "I'm Suichi here, remember? And I'm taking a walk, if you must know." The man turned his harsh glare on me.
Maybe if I stand perfectly still...he won't see me...
He looked me up and down. "Who's she? A new fan girl of yours?"
Wait...what! There are MORE girls out there like me?...this is horrible! I didn't know I'd be dealing with competition! I DEMAND TO SEE MY LAWYER!
Sucichi/Kurama, (I wasn't sure what to call him) shook his head. "No...She's a girl a met a few minutes ago, and her name is Rebecca." He smiled weakly at me. "Miss Rebecca, this is Hiei."
Hiei, huh?...yeah...I think he stole the bullies' lunch money at my elementary school...
I nodded slightly and forced a fake smile. "H-hello..." He continued to glare coldly at me.
Oooh goodness...this guy's gonna KILL me! Okay...calm down...no sudden movements...nooo sudden movements...
Suichi/Kurama walked over to Hiei. "Stop that Hiei, you're scaring her." Hiei turned back to Sucichi/Kurama. "Whatever...I'm just here to inform you that we have a new "case" today..." He glanced at me. Suichi/Kurama nodded, and then walked over to me. "I'm afraid I have to go now. It was a pleasure talking to you. I hope to do it again sometime." I nodded, "Y-yeah..." He smiled and turned back to Hiei. My heart sank.
This may be the last time I see him...my knight in shining armor is riding off into the sunset without me !In fact, he's riding off into the sunset with a scary midget who will kill me if I cough! But alas! Don't let him go heart! Stop him!
"Same time and place tomorrow!" I blurted out. He turned around. He gazed at me for a minute, and then smiled warmly. "I would like that very much." I returned the smile times two.
"Could we go sometime TODAY Kurama?" Hiei said, apparently annoyed. Suichi/Kurama chuckled and walked over to him. As they started off, I waved to Suichi...err...Kurama...whichever. "Bye! See you tomorrow!" He looked back one last time, smiled, and waved.
My heart was so light I could have floated up into the clouds. I plopped down on the ground and laid back. Some snow got down the back of my jacket, but I was too happy to notice its cold sting. I stared at the sky, as the sun began to peek from behind the clouds. Its warm rays danced softly across my face. "And the sun rises along with a young girl's heart..." I whispered a large smile on my face.
