Chapter 3:
Kurama sat beside Surina while Hiei sat across from her. They ate…some kind of food (I don't care what kind…) in silence. Surina shivered when Hiei got up and stared at her again with his blank eyes. Kurama eyed him suspiciously.
"Surina…you looked kind of shook up when I came here…Did anything…happen while I wasn't here?" He asked. Surina shook her head vigorously. Kurama looked up to see Hiei glaring dangerously. "Hiei, do you wish to add anything to that?"
"Hn, shouldn't you be somewhere? Your human school maybe… 'Suichi'?" the fire demon growled. Surina smiled at Kurama sadly.
"Okay, Kurama…if you need to go…I'm not holding you back." She replied. Kurama glared at Hiei and looked back to the girl sitting next to him.
"Won't you be lonely…?" He asked, obvious to the fact that Hiei was there. The fire-demon growled at him.
Surina giggled.
"I'll be okay…Hiei will keep me company," She said the last part sounding unsure. Hiei made a grunting noise returning to his room. "-Or not. I'm sure I'll be okay. Thank you, Kurama." Surina blushed, starting to clean up the dishes. Kurama waved and said his goodbyes, leaving Surina. Alone…with…Hiei.
Surina sighed sadly, looking towards the door. Should she have made up another lame excuse to leave with Kurama? Or should she try to work things out with Hiei? Since Kurama was gone, she was going to have to go with her other option. She pushed open the door with a creak. Hiei was no where to be seen. Surina breathed out a relieved sigh and walked into her closet, looking for her next outfit. She quickly got dressed and stepped out…to come face-to-face with Hiei. Surina almost screamed but, stopped herself, looking to the floor. Hiei stared at her for a moment and looked away, uninterested. He walked to the window-sill and sat down. Surina blushed at the attention and looked back towards Hiei.
"I'm going out today…Do you need anything before I leave?" She asked quietly. The fire-demon looked back at her with cold eyes.
"Where are you going?" He said in his low voice. He seemed to only use that voice when he wasn't being mean.
"We need more food and I just…wanted to-"
"Hn." He replied, waving her off. Surina walked out, closing the door behind her. She smiled, happy to be out of that creepy fire-demon's clutches-for now that is. Surina walked on her way to Botan's room.
Hiei moved from window to Surina's bed. He had chosen her bed because…he liked being near the window. He stared at the ceiling before letting his eyes close and falling asleep.
'If she tells anyone…she'll pay. She'll pay!' The fire-demon thought.
Surina opened the front door with her hands full of groceries. She put the food away and went to the bedroom. Again, Hiei was sleeping in her bed. He did look cute… Surina shook her head and placed a new wrap of bandages in the bathroom cabinet (Hiei must've figured out how to retract his wings).
"Yu…kina…" Surina looked back to Hiei. He was still asleep. "Yukina…"
Surina came next to him.
'He talks in his sleep?' She asked herself.
"Hiei…" She called softly, trying to wake him up. Hiei moaned, and turned away from her, pulling the pillow over his head. Surina giggled. "Umm…Hiei? Hiei wake up," This time, Hiei sat up. He glared at her.
"What do you want?" He sneered. Surina blushed.
"You were…talking in your sleep. Are you alright?" She asked kindly. Hiei sat there, letting what she said sink in. His face flushed. Turning away, he spoke.
"What did I say?"
"…You said… 'Yukina'," Surina replied, noting his low voice again.
"Hn. Don't say anything to her…or anyone," Hiei ordered.
"I won't tell anyone about that, Hiei. Don't worry," Surina promised wondering if Hiei had gained a crush for Yukina.
"Hn," He looked at her again "I'm hungry," He stated bluntly.
Surina sweat dropped. She hurried to the kitchen. When she started Hiei's food, she remembered…
'Why hasn't Hiei shown any interest for blood yet?'
Hiei came out and sat at the table. Surina served him…his food and sat down to eat as well. Hiei must've been very hungry because he ate everything in a matter of minutes. After he was done, He stared at the girl sitting across from him. Surina squirmed under his stare.
"Do I make you…uncomfortable?" He smirked. The girl blushed and shook her head 'no'. Hiei decided to…mess with this girl's mind for a while. He slid out of his chair and moved smoothly toward Surina. She looked at the ground as he approached. "Are you afraid of me, Surina?" He whispered, hoarsely. She shivered.
'No! I'm just shy! Just shy!' Her mind screamed out. All the poor girl could do was shake her head. The fire-demon got closer, all the while knowing that Surina didn't want him to. 'Get away…get away…Why are you doing this? Please just get away…' Her mind repeated. Hiei stared at her with curiosity.
'She's acting strange…' He thought, stopping. Surina stared at him again, standing up.
"Are you done eating, Hiei?" she asked him. He just stared for a minute and returned to his room. Surina breathed out a sigh and cleaned up the mess left behind by Hiei. She wondered why he was acting so strange. The phone rang loudly, interrupting her thoughts. She answered it.
"Hello?" The girl called into the receiver.
"Hello, Surina," Greeted Kurama's voice on the other end. "Do you know if Hiei will turn into ash or melt or…something like that if he goes out during the day?" He asked with difficulty.
"No, he walks near the windows when the sun is coming through and nothing like that happens." Surina replied.
"That's…really good. I was wondering if you…and Hiei would be able to come over to Yuske's for a little 'get-together' he's having…" Surina could tell that this was hard for Kurama. "Yuske told me to bring Hiei and you along because it's happening today. Will you come?" The spiritual expert smiled.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world, Kurama. We should be there in…twenty minutes," Surina stated happily. She could hear the fox-demon on the other line start to breath heavy and got worried (in other words; he was blushing). "Um…Are you all right? I can hear you breathing on the phone…"
"Ah! Um…I'm sorry! I have to get ready now…Thank you for coming on such short notice, Surina!" And with that, he hung up the phone, leaving a stunned Surina with a blank face. Hiei came back out of his room, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"Hiei…do you want to go to Yuske's house?" the girl questioned, getting close to his face. Hiei; who was taken by surprise, stumbled back and glared.
"Why should I?" He growled, crossing his arms and turning away. Surina stated that Kurama asked them to come. Hiei still refused. "What are you going to give me…in return?" The girl backed away from him; for he was looking like a psycho.
"I-I don't know…"
"I'm sure I can think of something," He said smirking. He was leaning over her and she was leaning back.
"What do you have in mind?" Surina asked, getting scared.
"Don't worry…it will come soon enough." Hiei chuckled darkly.
Yuske's house was alive with excitement. Surina and Hiei arrived a little bit late, due to Koenma's stalling (He was just jealous that he wasn't going too). Hiei hopped up in a tree, away from the crowd.
"Hiei? I don't know anybody…I'll be all alone if you leave me here…" Surina said, not wanting to be alone.
"Hn," He jumped down next to her as Kurama showed up.
"Hello again," He greeted coming up behind her. Surina smiled at him uneasily. Kurama led her to the rest of the spirit detectives and their friends while Hiei followed.
"Hey, you're that little cutie that was with Hiei!" Kuwabara screamed. Hiei covered his ears and glared.
"You're louder than usual, Kuwabara. Be quiet before I carve out your voice box." He growled, making Kuwabara clamp his mouth shut and step away from the 'dragon man'. Surina; who was next to him giggled at Hiei's choice of words.
"Must you be so violent all the time, Hiei?" Kurama asked, sighing.
"Kurama…when have I not been?" the fire-demon asked, smirking.
His friend thought for a minute.
"I guess you're right…" He said. Surina smiled at the pair.
"Don't worry, Hiei…You're hearing abilities have been heightened because of the change…" Before she could say something else, Yuske cut in.
(1st Person)
"Hey, Surina! Let me introduce ya' to these creeps!" He hollered, pointing to the girls behind him. Keiko made a snarling sound and Yuske re-phrased his statement. "…I mean…these beautiful ladies!"
"Hello," you greeted.
"Oh, my name's Keiko and this is Shiziru, you've already met Botan and this is Yukina." She told you, gesturing to each one. You waved and looked at Yukina. Then, you looked at Hiei, remembering earlier.
"Hn. What are you looking at me for?" Hiei snarled, glaring. You blushed, noticing that you had been starring.
"No reason…" You lowered your gaze.
The rest of the day was fun for you. You had fun talking to the girls and strangely, Hiei stayed by your side all the way. Yuske made a huge idiot of himself when he drank too much. It was really just an average wild party. Before you left, Kurama told you some of the stories of Youko Kurama; the infamous fox-thief. Koenma came to pick you both up in a portal himself. Hiei hadn't really talked much so you got worried (He didn't say 'Hn' all day). So, you talked to him when you got back to the apartment.
"Hiei…" you said, "Are you feeling all right? You haven't said anything since Yuske's house…" Hiei was really starting to look tired and strained from being up during the day. He gazed toward you with his reflecting crimson eyes.
"You needn't worry about me, Surina," He replied in a tired voice, "I'm going to lie down…" You nodded and giggled as he yawned loudly.
"Okay, Hiei."
Later that day, you sat at the table with a cup of hot chocolate and marshmallows. Hiei came out of his room dressed in a loose black muscle shirt and black pants. He cocked his head to the side and asked what you were doing.
"I'm drinking hot chocolate. Do you want some?" You asked.
"Hot vomit? What's wrong with you?" He exclaimed. You laughed, almost choking in the process.
"I said 'hot chocolate'." You said, pouring him some. He drank it quietly.
"Surina…I've been feeling…unwell lately," Hiei said suddenly. You stared.
"Why are you telling me?" you wondered. He glared.
"Well? Aren't you supposed to 'take care of me' or some shit?" He screamed. You flinched. He immediately clamped his mouth shut. Biting his lip, he spoke; "Hn."
"W-well…if you aren't feeling good… maybe you should lie down again," you stated uneasily. Hiei shook his head.
"I've tried that. My stomach feels so empty…no matter how much I eat!" He put a gesturing hand to his gut. You looked at him with sadness.
"You're feeling the hunger for blood…"
