I had woken up on the couch, feeling a little bit better than before. Sitting up on the couch, I saw Kieko sitting on the other end of the couch, Kuwabara and Yukina were talking and laughing which enraged me just a little, how dare he act like that around her! Back to the topic though, Kurama was reading a book at the kitchen table which had what looked to be a warm home cooked meal, but for some reason Y/N was nowhere to be seen. "Where's Y/N?" I ask, not really knowing why I even care.

"She's locked herself in your room." Keiko says, softly.

"Why?" I ask, confused. She has no reason to be in there.

"She got so worried about you that her powers started to act up. She then talked about shutting off her emotions and how that's the best way for everyone to be safe, ran into your room and locked the door. She's really scared, you should go let her know you're ok," Kurama chimes in.

"Why do I have to check on her?" I groan, standing up. "She's not my responsibility."

"Well, we all tried, she won't let any of us in and you seem to be getting closer to her lately, and since she's so worried about you and thinks it's her fault, I figured you might be able to convince her otherwise, Hiei please, if she shuts off her emotions, the results could be really bad, especially now that she has powers."

"Fine," I sigh, walking over to my room, "I'll try." To be honest, the only reason I agreed to this was because I wanted to see her again but I don't know why I wanted to see her so bad, it's not like I like her or anything, right? Nah, I can't have a crush, I'm a demon for crying out loud! Kurama said she locked the door, so I just decided to knock, which felt weird since it was my room, "Y/N!" I say, assertively, "let me in."

"Why should I? I'm just going to hurt you again!" She says, her voice on the verge of breaking.

"It's my room, that's why. Plus you didn't hurt me, I was just weak from overdoing it, now let me in!" After I said that, the door opened just enough for me to slip in then the door was shut and locked again. As soon as she locked the door, she scrambled over to my bed and huddled up underneath the covers, but what really caught my eye was that she was holding a hoodie of mine up close to her face. Also, looking at her face more closely, I could tell she was crying. "Y/N?" I ask, a little more softly than normal, "are you ok?"Talking like this felt weird to me but I didn't want to be mean to her or insensitive, which is weird cause I don't care about other people's feelings.

"I'm fine," she mutters, "just don't come near me…"

"Why not?" I ask, putting my hands in my pockets.

"So that I don't hurt you again."

"Like I said, I was just weak from overdoing it! I promise you aren't going to hurt me." I slowly walk over to her and sit down on the edge of the bed, "Y/N, why did you shut everyone out? Please talk to me." I can't believe it but it really hurt me to see her this way. I miss the outgoing Y/N, the adventurous and slightly snappy yet apologetic Y/N, well maybe not the apologetic part, I could always do without her apologizing every two minutes.

"Hiei, I'm scared…I hit you with my electricity, powers I got from a fucking demon than you go and overdo it, making you weak, it's my fault! This power has me scared to do anything!" She exclaims, pulling the hoodie up closer to her.

I sigh and crawl next to her and lay down beside her, wrapping my arms around her, causing her to immediately bury head into my shoulder. I don't know why I did what I did but I just held her as close to me as I possibly could. I'm not great at comforting others but when it came to her, it just came natural to me.

Holding her close to me, I played with her hair, I never realized how soft it really was just by looking at it. I just laid there with her, letting her cry, knowing she needed to get it out, however it felt weird, being so close to someone, holding them. Not even five minutes later, I felt her breathing start to even out, which led me to the conclusion that she had fallen asleep. I smiled softly, she looked so peaceful and cute when she slept…wait what was I thinking? She isn't cute! I sighed and gave into my thoughts that didn't seem to want to go away and held her as close as possible.

I had started to doze off until I was woken up by a scream. "Y/N?" I ask, sitting up in a hurry.

She scrambled off the bed and into the corner, going into the fetal position. "Stay away!"

"Y/N, what's going on? I thought we had everything sorted out, what happened?"

"I-I had a dream that attacked you and everyone else as well…I was right, shutting off my emotions is the only way not to hurt anyone."

"No, Y/N that isn't true! You shouldn't stop feeling just because your powers are tied to your emotions!" I exclaim, loudly. "Stop being an idiot! Please!" I plead, honestly surprised I even said that, why do I even care about what she does? Is it because I like to see her smile? No, it can't be that, I don't care to see anyone smile!

"You can't stop me. It's my decision!"

"It can't be that easy to turn them off."

"Actually, I've done it before. It's just like flipping a switch. Don't tell me what is and isn't easy when it comes to me, myself, and I!" She shouts.

"Stop being stupid! You're being a baby! Just because you lost control one time doesn't mean you need to stop feeling! If you stop feeling, then I'm going to stop training you!' I threatened, really hoping it works.

"Good, maybe then I won't risk hurting you anymore," she shouts back.

I'm sure the others could hear us arguing but I don't care. "Y/N," I say softly, "please…I-I don't want to stop seeing you smile…" Damn, this is so out of character for me, what's wrong with me? I can't be developing a crush…can I? No, that's insane!

"I don't know why you care if I smile or not, it's not like we're friends or anything," she hisses.

I know I haven't been the best type of person to her and I don't exactly have friends but it hurt when she said that, I don't know why I thought we might have been becoming closer, it was stupid of me to think that. I don't even know why I care, I never care about anyone! "Damnit Y/N! If you go down this path, there might not be any coming back!"

"I don't care! As long as it protects yall, that's all that matters!" She growls.

"Y/N, don't make me do this the hard way!"

"You aren't going to stop me!" She growls, electricity sparking off her.

"Y/N, stop!"

"Don't tell me what to do!" Her eyes turned a dark purple as she shot purple lightning through the roof.

"Guess we're doing this the hard way," I mutter, before running at her. I knew that whatever was going to happen next wasn't going to be good so I quickly made the decision to restrain her using my Jagan Binding Curse and trapped her in a ridgid position to construct her movements. "I'm sorry," I whisper, crouching next to her, "but I need you to calm down."

"Damnit Hiei!" She growls, struggling to get free. "Why won't you just let me do what's best for everyone?"

"I'm doing what's best for you, that's all that matters…and Yukina."

"Please…Hiei just let me shut off from everyone and everything! Plus this is really uncomfortable!" She exclaims, as she starts to cry softly, although I don't think she was crying from the pain, I think she was crying from the fact that she isn't getting what she wants.

While we were arguing, Keiko knocked on the door, "Y/N, Hiei, is everything alright in there?"

Y/N who froze at the sound of her voice, sighed, "go away!"

"Are you sure that's wise?" Keiko asks, causing me to groan in annoyance.

I knew she wouldn't go away like this and Y/N couldn't do anything about it so I stormed over to the door and opened it, "we're fine! Now Y/N said to go away!" I growl and slam the door in her face, walking back over to Y/N only to find out she was gone? "Damnit, I must have lost concentration when I was talking to Keiko!" I growl, and follow her out the window that she left open, I just really hope she doesn't get herself in trouble.
