Chapter 8: Help!

You are going to disappear forever….Ha ha ha! You will never see your beloved Hiei once I get rid of you. I know you can feel my cold darkness. Soon you will be it. HA HA HA HA!

Ryuichi woke up with a cold sweat, gasping for air.

-Ryuichi's POV-

'There it goes again. Man, that voice, that cold darkness seeping through my skin and thoughts. That was so scary. Am I gonna die?'

Cold sweat dripped down my forehead as I woke up in the middle of the night.

"I have the weirdest nightmares." I mumbled.

End of Ryuichi's POV+

'Oh, well. Can't go back to sleep now.' She sighed and climbed down the big tree. She walked a little way around the block. She had to sort out things like who was that person with the cold, evil voice? While she walked and thought, crimson eyes followed her every move. The being with the crimson eyes turned into shadow and followed her, quietly and swiftly.

'I feel it! Someone's following me, but I can't seem to put my finger on the person. Best be on my guard.' She sighed, but her alert eyes followed the shadow following her.

"Who are you! Show yourself!" She took her sword from the scabbard. Her angry crimson eyes searched through the darkness. She knew that the shadow was there, somewhere, but she couldn't find it. Just then, warm hands wrapped around her with such a loving embrace that she almost melted into its arms.

'Hiei.' Ryuichi smiled.

"Hey." His whisper caressed her right cheek. She blushed.

"Hey." Ryuichi answered back. She really didn't want to talk to Hiei right then and there, but she was glad that he came to be with her.

"What's the matter?" Hiei asked, concern filling his eyes.

"Aw, nothing, just thinking about stuff." Ryuichi said as her eyes gazed towards the sky, still wondering about that strange, yet scary voice that filled her mind when she was asleep.

"Somethin's up with you. You're usually not like this." Hiei said as he carried her away from their place.

"Hiei! What're you doing?" Ryuichi asked him he carried through trees and forests.

'I like this. I can get used to this treatment, only kiddin! But I wonder where's he's takin' me.' Ryuichi thought to herself. She enjoyed the wind through her hair. Suddenly…

Ryuichi! Ryuichi! Your time's coming, but while I'm here, why don't I take your body for sometime, eh? HAHAHAHAHA! You'll never escape my grasp, cause you will always be in it, no one can ever help you!

Ryuichi stiffened. Her body was being filled with such cold and such iciness. She felt the voice entering her mind. She tried to stop it with all her might, but failed. She felt herself going into a dark abyss.

"Hiei…" Ryuichi managed to say. Hiei looked at her in his arms. He saw her frightened expression.

"Ryuichi!" He shook her. She didn't move. Her eyes widened with fear, crimson turning more crimson.

"Ryuichi! What the hell? Speak to me!" He became furious. What's wrong with his love?

'Kami, what's wrong with her?'

"Hiei…h-help-p….me-e.."

"RYUICHI!"

Ok, guys,s o how was it? Sorry It was so short. I'll try to make 'em longer next time. R+R!
