A Black Heart Chapter 16

Your POV

I was unsure where we were or how long it had been but I trusted that I would make it to my home soon. I slept for what seemed like days trying to get my energy back from losing so much of it from the little sleep I was able to get. I knew I would soon get hungry and thirsty soon but it would have to wait until I woke up. I could feel Dragon move under me and was glad he was still wearing his saddle to help keep me on. I could feel Hiei next to me close on Firestar. I smiled in my sleep knowing he would never leave me. After what seemed like hours we stopped. I woke to see that we were home.

Hiei: I see your awake now Angelwolf how was your sleep? I looked over as Dragon leaned down so I could get off.

You: Good still tired but after a few days of rest and food and water I will be fine. I looked to see that Kurama and Nava had not left each other's sides for the whole trip I have been back. I started to walk into the barn with Dragon following me to his stall where I would unsaddle him and get him something to eat.

Hiei: So are you in the mood to tell me what happened at the kingdom or would you like food and some more rest first. I looked over to him as he unsaddled Firestar as I thought about it.

You: I will tell you after I get a bit to eat and we can get some alone time how does that sound. He had just taken the saddle off and was now removing the bridle as was I.

Hiei: Sounds good but let's take care of these two first. I nod as the others brought their horses in. I watch as the boys took their horses to their stalls and were about to leave.

You: Kuwabara and Yusuke where do you think you're going? They stop at the sound of my voice.

Yusuke: We are both tired and what to go take a rest. I looked at them and growled.

You: Don't you think your horses would like to get those saddles off and relax or maybe I could do what I had to do to Hiei to get him to take care of his horse. I looked at Hiei and he looked kind of scared.

Hiei: Trust me guys go back and take care of your horse otherwise you will not like the punishment that comes from not doing it. They walk back to their horses as we both grab brushes and start to brush out our horses. I watch as Kurama and Nava walk in their horses following them.

Nava: Where do I put Blizzard Runa? I look around to notice that the stall next to Thorn was open.

You: Put him next to Thorn that stall is open. She nods and both her and Kurama go to take care of their horses. After a few minutes both me and Hiei choose to go make sure that the bakas are taking care of their horses the right way. I walk into Yusuke's stall to be met with his Gelding Demon Horse which he called Flashbang. Do you have everything taken care of in here Yusuke? He looks up from picking out Flashbang's feet.

Yusuke: Yeah I am done here does he look good? I felt him over and he did and he was also well built and just right for Yusuke.

You: He looks good to me Yusuke how about you give him some hay and then you can leave. He nods and goes to the hay barn and grabs two flakes for him. I look over to see that Hiei is having problems with the other baka. You guys having problems Hiei? He looks up to nod. I walk into the stall of the mare that the baka had named Spiritwind.

Hiei: He won't put his hand under the horse to clean under there and she is sweating there due to the cinch. I walked up and grabbed the bakas hand and then dragged him to the tack barn. Hiei smirked knowing the treatment he was in for.

Kuwabara: What are you going to do with that bit and headset? I took and pushed him to the ground and put the bit in his mouth and the headset formed to his head so that it was stuck on him. Hey get this off of me now!!! I took some steps back and smirked.

You: If you what it off then that horse better be spotless in ten minutes once I see and say that she is clean it will come off. With that I left and he went straight to her and got to work. Hiei walked next to me.

Hiei: There is one reason I always listened to you when it came to the horses. After about eight minutes the baka came up to me tired but Spiritwind was clean.

You: Good she is clean and happy get her some hay and your done. With that the bit and headset fell to the floor. He ran into the hay barn and had two flakes and put them in her stall and she happily started to eat. I walked up to him and held up the special headset. If I ever find out that you are not taking care of your horse this will in up back on got it. He nods his head and takes off.

Hiei: I think that Spiritwind will get the best care out of all of them. I nod and look for a place to sit down and spot a bale of hay in front of one of the stalls and go take a seat. You are really tired how about we go get a bite to eat and then you should rest. I nod as I start to get up Hiei picked up before I took one step.

You: Hiei I can walk trust me I know I can walk. He just keeps carrying me.

Hiei: I know but I feel better if I carry you. I was at this point to tired and weak to fight him back so he carried me to the house and set me down in the living room and then turned to me. What do you what Runa whatever you what I will get it somehow. I looked at him I was going to tell him something when Nava spoke.

Nava: Leave that to me Hiei if she is still the same Runa I know then her favorite meal is a dish that only I know. I feel my tail wag at what was coming.

You: Fire steak with fire sake with the winter greens and I cup of hot ice cream. They looked at me and she nodded.

Nava: Thought so coming right up dose anyone one else what to give it a try. They all nod but she point to the humans. No fire sake for you it is strong on humans I will give you a fire root beer a special drink for are weaker drinkers. They didn't look happy but I knew it only took me one shot glass and I would be wasted. She then turned to me and smiled knowing full well.

You: You better make a lot sister because I need some. She nods and disappears into the kitchen followed by Kurama.

Hiei POV

I watch as Runa calls for lots of this Fire Sake that is from her homeland. I watch and for years she never looked so happy.

You: You are happy aren't you Runa? She looks at me and nods.

Runa: Yeah Hiei I am I have friends, my sister, and you and soon a good meal that will make things feel good. I nod as the smells for the meat cooking come into the living room. I looked around to notice that the reaper or the brat had yet to call us or to visit us.

You: I guess we are not going to see the reaper and the brat tonight. She nods and smiles.

Runa: I think that is good but I think I also know why. I look at her strange but then the brat came on to the TV.

Koemna: Hello everyone it is good to see that everyone is back safe and sound but I must tell you that we don't have much time for rest. I look at him and back to Runa. Runa and Nava you will be my bodyguards for the event and Runa you will be my backup fighter for the Dark Tournament. Her and her sister both nod and her sister goes back to cooking. Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, and Kuwabara you will be in the tournament and mind you will need a fifth fighter that isn't the two wolves. We all nod and knew that training would start right away. You guys have five months so training will need to start right away. We nod and then he speaks again. Enjoy your meal guys it looks good. I turn around to see that the food was done and ready to eat. The TV was blank again and Runa and her sister walked up to the table and started to eat the meal in front of them.

You: So that is what you met Runa? She nods and starts to cut her steak. I look at mine and it almost looks burnt. Is this good Runa? She takes a bite and smiles and nods yes as she looks at the winter fresh greens and put her fork into them to start eating them. I sit down and start to cut the steak which to my surprise cut like my knife thought it like butter. I then took a quick bite and quickly started to cut it more enjoying this meal and the new taste that everyone couldn't get enough of.

Kurama: This is amazing Nava. I nod along with everyone else. But what is this red drink that you made in secret. I looked at the drink it was in front of me, Runa, Nava, and Kurama the others were drinking the root beer which was not lasting long.

Runa: That is the Fire Sake and trust me drink with care. I watch as she takes the shot glass and drinks it in one quick gulp. I grab my glass and look at her. If you're not sure Hiei just do like I did but be warned it will be hot. I felt the glass it was cold but watched as her eyes watered and she grabbed the glass of water beside her on the table. I figure if she could do I could and do as she did. I quickly get a kick back the size of an A class demon hitting me head on.

You: Wow that some has some kick to it. I look at Nava who had the same reaction as Runa and Kurama who quickly grabbed his glass of water to cool off his month and I followed suit.

Runa: I told you it was strong. I nod as we look at the empty glasses and the bottle full of the stuff. I think this will go in my safe in my room Nava locked away from the bakas. She nods and I grab the bottle and hand it to her.

Nava: Well if we are done with dinner how about that ice cream. I watched as she walked back and then came forward with a box of red ice cream. She spoons it out and hands everyone a bowl with it. Now no one start we have to get it hot. I watch as she takes out some chocolate and drizzles it over the ice cream.

Runa: Ok Nava now. With that the chocolate caught fire. The bakas trying to put it out but it didn't work. Guys just eat it ok it won't hurt you ok the chocolate is special from our homeland and the fire is now safe to eat. I watch as she takes a bite and sighs a big sigh of contentment. I grab my spoon and take a bite followed by everyone else. To my surprise the ice cream was cold and really good.

You: "I really like this." I watch Runa look at me and smile.

Runa: "I knew you would Hiei the ice cream thief." I see she is trying hard not to laugh and the ice cream quickly disappeared and we all walked up the stairs for bed. I grabbed Runa before she went to the room that was marked by her name.

You: Sleep with me tonight Runa please I really just want you close tonight after you being gone for long time. She looks at me and then looks at her sister who nods and then walks into her room.

Runa: Sure Hiei I would love to. We quickly walk into my room and we quickly got into bed and I held her close not wishing to let go. Night Hiei my prince. I smile and kiss the back of her neck.

You: Night Runa my princess. With that we were both asleep in the warmth of each other.
