A Black Heart Hiei Love Story Chapter 21
Your POV
I flew all the way to the volcano called Fireflower it was said to be dormant right now but this is where it was said a phoenix lived its whole life and now it would be my home until I die. I came to the month and with gentle flaps of my new wings flew into the month of the volcano as I flew down I could see a shrine made for the great bird of fire and figured this to be my new home. I land on the ledge that it was on and thought the place to be cool in temp anyway.
You: I guess this is the only place for me evil never met for human or demon eyes. I thought back to Hiei's eyes at how scared they were I never cared what the others would think knowing that as long as he approved no one would go against him but he did so why care what the others thought. I feel where the necklace would be and figured that Nava would either give it back to Hiei or she would keep it. I smile thinking how close her and Kurama have been getting and hopped that they stayed together forever. I took and walked into the shrine and there was a bed and other home type things but they were old and decaying which met I was the last one in a long while. I wish it could have been different why did this happen. That was when I heard a voice in my head but it wasn't anyone I knew.
Voice: Hello young one I am the Phoenix that you have brought into this world. I wipe the tears starting to form from thinking of Hiei and spoke to him at least I would have someone to talk to.
You: You are the Flamestone. He nods to me and smiles.
Phoenix: I know I have caused you much trouble but you needed help and I could think of no other thing to do other than to make you a fire bird. I nod agreeing that he was right.
You: But now my friends and family don't love me and they think I am evil. He makes a picture in my mine showing him comforting me he was a big red and orange bird with pink and purple detailed feathers. You are really beautiful you know that Phoenix. He smiles to me and nods his head and then puts his head on my shoulder.
Phoenix: I am sorry I have made you an outcast from your friends and family. I shake my head no.
You: If they don't like the way I am then we are not friends and family of mine. He wraps a wing around me and it was warm and felt good.
Phoenix: It looks like to me that you were wanting the approval of one person a young fire demon. I nodded as my tears started to fall. What is his name my dear? I looked up from my crying to look at him.
You: His name is Hiei and we have done tons together but that must not be enough to get his approval I now see that he went to looks and not what is inside. He nods but the Phoenix looks up and smells the air.
Phoenix: You know he is coming don't you Runa my dear he is coming to get you and I can read his heart it shows only love to me and love to only one person you. I look at him and he puts his head back on my shoulder. Do you wish to see him or I can drive him away? I looked up and I could see his face the face of the one I once loved. I had to have answers and the only person that could give them was Hiei.
You: No I need answers from him I need to know the truth from him. Phoenix nods and pulls me close to him. Phoenix please tell me something you are my new fire source isn't that right? He nods but doesn't look at me. Then why did I become the bird of fire? He looks at me and smiles.
Phoenix: You had four things that we look for in a fire bird. The first is balance, followed by a strong mind, soul, and heart. I nod and smile to him. Those four things make us a strong fire bird just like you but you will still be you know matter what because we made you a fire bird only thought who you were to start. I nod and tears start to fall.
You: Then I can be a wolf again right I don't have to stay this way? He nods and I go to the ground my knees unable to hold me up.
Phoenix: I will go wait for him and then come and get you how does that sound so you can figure out the questions you wish to ask him. I nod and he leaves me to sit at the top of the volcano. I start to think does he really love me or is it something else.
Hiei POV
We had left for the volcano it was getting closer that was the good news but even for me it was getting really hot. The only reason I could hold against the heat was because of my fire demon half. As I looked at Dragon he wasn't fairing nearly as well. I pulled him to stop and he did and I got off.
You: You better not go any further Dragon because Runa would kill me if anything happened to you. He nods and heads over to a forest that held a lake. I looked at the volcano it was close now and it would only take an hour or so to get there. As I was getting closer I could only think of Runa how I hurt her just because she changed on the outside she was still the same Runa the girl I had spent most of my life with when we were young and did scams and all of the stealing it was still Runa no matter what she looked like. With all of this going thought my head I noticed that I was at the mouth of the volcano. Wow it is really hot up here. I looked around hoping to see something that would be Runa or something to take me to her when I saw a red bird it was beautiful and for some reason felt familiar. It then took off into the volcano I was too busy watching it to notice it had the same wings as Runa when I saw something coming this way from the month of the volcano. I looked to see that it was Runa but she was in the form I saw from earlier.
Runa: So you have come to find me I see or did you what to kill me or something because I took your poor Runa which I mind you is me. She was mad but she had a right to be after what I did to her.
You: Runa I came to find you and bring you back home. I watched her she was still mad but I see her eyes change.
Runa: Did you come to get me because you were the only one able to get up the volcano and stay this close and because they won't let you into the house and Yusuke would probably kill you. I looked at her and I look down. I see so that is how it is then we have nothing more to talk about. She was going to leave she was flapping her wings to go into the mouth of the volcano but she couldn't leave not now.
You: Runa wait please that is only part of the reason no it isn't the reason at all that shouldn't even be close to it the real reason I came was because I love you and wish to be with you. She stops and looks at me I watch as tears come from her eyes but they are not flames they are like gold.
Runa: I still don't know if I can trust you again Hiei even if you say that when we get back home you could change around me and I don't know if I could live with that. She finally goes all the way down the volcano and I can't see her in the smoke and ash.
You: No Runa that won't happen I won't let it. I look around to see if there was a way down but there is none. Well if I die trying to bring you back then I guess at least I know I tried to bring you back and I told you the truth. I look around and then yell to her. RUNA I AM NOT LEAVING UNTIL YOU SEE THAT I AM TELLING THE TRUTH AND IF THAT MEANS I NEVER LEAVE THIS VOLCANO, NEVER SEE OUR FRIENDS AGAIN, OR DIE TRYING THEN SO BE IT BUT I WILL NOT LET YOU LEAVE MY SIDE AGAIN!!! With that I jump into the volcano I knew if she didn't catch me I would be dead but I could only think of her then something happened I started to cry. I cried at the thought of not having her at my side I couldn't live that way not me I had to have her with me not for looks alone but with inter strength, love, and caring those things she gave me are what I wish to live with the rest of my life. I was falling down the volcano it was really hot but to me it didn't matter she was either going to forgive me or I was going to die knowing I smashed her heart into thousands of pieces. Either way I was going to die broken or live happy. I looked around and not seeing Runa around made me close my eyes waiting for death. Then I lost the feeling of falling and gained the feeling of flapping wings. I look up to see Runa holding me with her new talons.
Runa: You really mean it don't you Hiei? I nod as she sees that I am crying tear gems black ones with red in the center. Hiei are you crying I have never seen you cry before. She says this to me as we fly back up to the mouth of the volcano. When we land I wipe the tears away.
You: Yeah but I am crying because I was either going to lose you or I was going to die knowing I broke your heart to pieces. She looked at me and changed back to her normal wolf self but to one side was a bird the one I saw earlier. Is that the Phoenix that your sister talked about? She reach over and petted his head.
Runa: Yeah he is and he is with me and when I need his power we fusion into one which gives me the power of the Phoenix. I nod and hold out my hand and he rubs it. That is good because he can read hearts and if you were lying he would have killed you. I look at her and she is smiling and I smile back.
You: How about we go home the others are waiting and so is Dragon sense he brought me half way here. She nods and we start are trip home the Phoenix flies ahead of us as we start our trip home together hand in hand.
Your POV
We were finally together again as we rode Dragon back to the house with my new friend the Phoenix. We had been riding in quiet sense at the rate we were going we wouldn't hear it anyway. After a few hours of riding we were finally back at the house. We both got off of Dragon and Phoenix landed in a nearby tree. I was heading to the house when Hiei grabbed my hand.
Hiei: I need to say something to you Runa. I looked at him and smiled my most caring of smiles and nodded. I am sorry for the way I treated you and trust me I will never do it again I would never be able to live with myself if you weren't there to be with me. I look at him as I start to tear up.
You: That goes for me as well Hiei I shouldn't have ran off I needed to give you time to get use to the new me that's all and trust me living without you just doesn't feel right even when I did. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out the necklace.
Hiei: You left this behind but when I gave it to you the last time I told you to never lose it remember. I nod and he puts it around my neck again. This time I want you to never lose it because even when we are not together at least we will be close to each other no matter what. I nod and we walk back inside but not holding hands we were both to tough for that. I was greeted and all but my main thing was to explain my new friend and my new form but how would they take it I was still unsure about.
