Chapter Three My Ruby Tears
When I awoke I was in someone's house or apartment, to tell the truth I wasn't to sure. "So you're awake" said a familiar voice.
"Hey Hiei, how long?" I asked so softly I could barely hear myself, but I knew that he could. "Couple days. Every ones worried." He told me bluntly. I nodded slightly trying to hide a smile that threatened to appear on my face. "Why am I at your house?" I just had to ask… just to see the look on his face. Which I gotta tell you was really amusing. "So you could rest. And because it was the closest place" He grumbled obviously annoyed. I laughed to myself, but I'll keep my reasons.
But I was still wondering why did he come after me? How did he know…? I swallowed a foul tasting liquid that had come to settle in my throat and I got up the courage to ask, "Why did you come? Why did you follow me… and why did you catch me?" I inquired almost inaudible, half hoping he wouldn't hear and half hoping he would. I didn't know how he would react, but at that point I didn't really care. "Hn" is all he said.
A Couple Days Later
"Kato you're all right!!!" yelled Botan running towards me flailing her arms wildly. I ducked pulling out a cross from a pouch that was on my belt that resided on my jeans. I had asked Hiei to get some clothes from my house since I still hadn't felt good enough to move yet. Today I wore a white t-shirt that was tighter than the last time I wore it, I had the jeans on that I mentioned earlier, and a pair of black tennis shoes. "Be gone evil spirit I shall not let you take hold of this innocent girl!" I exclaimed grabbing Yukina and holding up my silver cross. Everyone laughed as Botan madly tackled me but seconds before I quickly tucked away the cross so it wouldn't be bent… it was the only reminder of my mother. "B-B-Botan" I sputtered from underneath her "You're chocking me. I can't breathe". When she got off I was practilly heaving for breath. Kinda an over statement but I need the pity. Pity Me I beg you, Please!!!
"Hey Yukina, sorry about the whole dramatic thing." I apologized bowing slightly. She chuckled softly "That's okay I'm happy to be involved in your fun antics. I enjoy watching them but I enjoyed playing along even more" she insisted. I smiled and looked around me, my friends, they had been worried about me. I had never felt so happy in my entire life except when my sister was born and when my brother came home after being missing for five days.
"Thanks guys for worrying, I'm so lucky to have friends like you" I said happily.
"What are you doing out here you should be resting" said Yusuke. "You just noticed?" I asked amazed that anyone could be so stupid. "Yes actually" he admitted. "Well I appear to be standing… oh and I also recall the fact that I'm inhaling oxygen into my blood stream but I'll be nice and never use such big words again so I don't hurt your widdle Brain" I said as I left and walked towards the woods assuring everyone I was alright.
"Hi sis I heard about what happened and I'm glad you're alright" my brother Kisu said walking up to me.
"No get away from me I don't need this right now" I growled showing my fangs and as soon as I did that I felt horrible. I was driving away my brother the one person who loved me more than anyone, who would protect me from anything. 'But he left you for ten years' said a voice in my head. 'He's your brother he probably had a good reason, ask him' said another voice. I thought it over, he probably did have a good reason but why did he leave me without telling me, did he tell me… no he didn't. If he hadn't left I would never had died. "I'm sorry Kisu. I've been a total jerk and treated you like crap and you've shown me nothing but love. I… I'm so sorry I had no right" I said eyes full of tears that were so close to falling down my face.
"Sis you… I deserve everything you've given me, especially your hate. I left for ten damn years and if I hadn't Izayoi would still be alive and you would never had to experience death or any of the crap you've had to go through." He paused pulling me into a hug like the ones he used to give me when I was younger. "I should have never left".
"Why'd you leave anyway?" I asked closing my eyes as the tears fell down my face; my brother looked down at me shock on his face which closely resembled my own. "What?" I asked.
"Your tears their… red" he said voice shaking; his eyes were still in a shock like state. I lifted my frightfully pale fingers to the edges of my eyes. They were red just as Kisu said, I looked at him, back at my fingers, and back at him again. I started to shake uncontrollably; Kisu saw and wrapped his trench coat around me. I shook my head trying to indicate I wasn't cold, but he didn't get it. "I'm not cold…Kisu I'm scared why is blood coming out of my eyes? Why is this happening?" I demanded weakly my voice cracked from fear. He called for Yukina who ran over even though she would have to start all over with dinner; my eyes stopped bleeding before she came over and I saw in my mind a man with white hair and a strange tattoo on one of his cheeks his eyes were bleeding as well.
"What's wrong?" Yukina huffed as she finally came to a stop next to me. "I'm fine now. No really I'm okay" I insisted smiling slightly getting up with the help of my brother. Yukina breathed a sigh of relief, got up and walked away mumbling some thing about dinner. I chuckled and asked my brother to get me water and a washcloth, which he did very quickly. I washed my face and walked inside telling Kisu to come in my room after dinner to tell me about those ten years.
I walked to my room looking it over 'Who was that man and what was that strange marking on his face' I asked myself thought clouded with possible answers to this puzzle. 'I don't know who you are but I swear I'll tear off your mask and find out'
