Dragon tale

Hiei didn't hear all their conversation although he heard the last words that the ferry girl spoke before going to sleep. He felt touched by them and by the beauty of the dragon girl. He couldn't resist it. A part of him told him that he, Hiei Jaganeshi, the cold-hearted Forbidden Child, was falling for a girl about who he didn't know that was like him, a forbidden one.

Hiei closed his eyes and went to a dreamless sleep.

Chapter 6: Apology and a silent request

Next morning, Sika woke up when the sun rose, something very unlike her, but she felt a weird aura inside her house. She got up and took some clothes from her wardrobe, taking care not to disturb the ferry girl that was sleeping on the floor in her sleeping bag. Sika entered the bathroom and took a hot shower.

After that she got dressed in the clothes she took with her: some black ¾ tight, trousers and a black sleeveless T-shirt. She took her black tennises and smirked at her reflection before exiting the bathroom. Sika threw a small glimpse through her window just to find a certain koorime sleeping peacefully.

'He looks so peaceful when he sleeps…it's like all his sadness is gone…' but then she realized what she thought and… 'DID I REALLY THINK THAT??' yelled a pissed Sika.

'Yes, my dear friend, you did' stated Sapphire.

'Great! Is my life going to be even better?' growled Sika in a sarcastic voice.

She mentally shook her head and walked out of the room. What she didn't know was that Hiei wasn't sleeping. He sensed that she looked at him even though his eyes were closed.

'Why is she looking at me? She said with her own mouth that she didn't care so why bothering and looking at me?' he asked himself.

When he heard the door of her room close he opened his ruby eyes (a/n: uhm…just one thing…remember Sika's tears when she's sad? Ah well, they have the same color as Hiei's eyes; irony, as I said before, is my best friend).

Hiei saw the deity and no one else in the room so, in a black blur he was gone from the tree branch. At all the movement near her, Botan only stirred and turned on her other side.

Sika went down the stairs thinking at the one she wanted so much to find. She remembered how she always seemed to dream of having him by her side, although she never met him. She wanted so much to find him...but she never could. Sika and her brother were the last ones with dragon blood and both were forbidden of fire and dragon.

"sigh...will I ever find you? Where are you? Just give me a little sign and tell me where I can find you! I want to meet you! I need to meet you! Or else...I will end up in the arms of my worst enemy..." Sika whispered, but the ears of a koorime heard and thought she was talking about a lost love, not what she was really talking about...her lost brother.

'She does have a lover...WHY THE HELL DO I EVEN CARE?' Hiei thought, yelling the last part.

Sika went into the kitchen and took two bowls of chocolate ice cream and came back into the living room to see Hiei sitting on the windowsill colder than normally.

Sika mentally sighed as she walked to him and was rewarded with a deadly glare.

"Look...I'm sorry for what I've said a few days ago...it's not that I don't care...so...sorry" she apologized as she offered him a bowl of ice cream and a small, warm, genuine smile.

"Hn" he replied accepting the ice cream and with it her apologizes. Sika smiled and sat on an armchair that was in the living room and started eating her ice cream.

'Why did she apologize? Does she care? Why do I even care if she cares?' so many questions were killing Hiei's mind and that weird feeling he had in the pitch of his stomach wasn't making things any better.

'I will have to ask the fox about all of this...' Hiei mentally sighed.

Maybe he would have thought more or maybe not but the thing is that a sweet, calm, cold and warm in the same time, voice of a dragon broke his line of thoughts.

"Hiei? Can I ask you something?" Sika questioned in a very different voice. It was as if her entire cold mask was off.

"Hn. Spit it, onna" Hiei replied coldly.

"Could you...I mean...with your Jagan...could you find someone?" Sika asked and Hiei's heart sank.

He thought she wanted him to find that guy she was talking about to herself in the morning. Half was true, but the guy wasn't her lover, he was her brother.

"Hn. Who?" Hiei asked.

"Uhm...my brother..." Sika answered sadly and in a low whisper.

Hiei felt his heart come back. So, the boy was in fact her brother! Not her lover! There is someone up there that loves our fire koorime!

"What brother?" Hiei asked.

"When I came to Ningenkai, when I was 1 year old, when my parents died...my brother remained in Makai. Kali and Mike told me about my brother and I want to find him...I always tried, whenever I got the chance to go to Makai I would search for him but I never got the chance...and I thought, that maybe you, with your Jagan, could search for him...only if it's not bothering you..." Sika explained.

"Hn. Fine" Hiei answered coldly.

"You would?" Sika asked almost not believing her ears as she got up from her chair and looked into Hiei's eyes. Her ice cream was on the coffee table besides the armchair.

"I said 'fine'. I think that means I would, right onna?" Hiei asked smirking.

"THANK YOU SO MUCH!" Sika yelled as she practically lunged herself at Hiei and hugged him. Unfortunately she didn't think her actions. Hiei was wide-eyed for a second, not knowing what to do, but somewhere, deep at the ends of his soul, he felt like it was right, to have Sika in his arms like that.

He put a gentle but rough arm on her back and gave a small pat.

Sika broke the hug, her cheeks stained with a light shade of pink.

"Uhm...sorry" she whispered.

"Hn" Hiei replied and turned his face to the window.

Sika mentally grinned, but kept her cool and she took both ice creams to the kitchen.

She apologized and even asked Hiei to help her, all in one day! That was great for her!
