Sorry, I kinda left you guys hangin' on the last chapter. I was trying to hurry and finish and I thought that would be a good place. Anyways, here I am for chapter four! Remember to review (sometimes I get motivated if people tell me I'm doing well)!
Chapter Four:
Hiei looked at the girl and glared.
"Do really believe that I'm that weak?" He growled between gritted teeth. He stood up, and slammed his hands on the table. His hot chocolate spilled and a brown liquid dripped onto the floor. "Don't you ever underestimate me!" With that, he stomped back to his room. Surina had a shocked expression on her face.
'I never thought Hiei would be so sensitive about that…' she thought, beginning to clean up another mess made by Hiei.
In his room, Hiei's mind was reckless. He knew in his heart that he needed blood. His mind just didn't want to believe it. He just couldn't believe that he, was so weak as to need another's blood to keep him alive. He turned to another side of the bed, forcing himself to think about something else. Like…Yuske's party earlier! Hiei wondered why he had stayed so long. Then, he remembered Surina's face when she had asked him to stay. Her eyes had glazed over at the thought of being alone. He fell asleep again, swimming in thoughts of Surina.
'What was she talking about? She's never alone…I'm here.'
Surina slipped into the room to check on Hiei. She found him asleep in her bed again. Smiling, she covered him with the sheets. He looked so peaceful when he was asleep. The girl decided to go to sleep as well. She hopped on Hiei's bed and instantly fell asleep.
Morning rolled by pretty fast. Surina got up, fixed breakfast and cleaned up the apartment. Hiei got up, ate and went back to sleep. He said nothing to her the whole day. Surina was bothered by this but, decided that Hiei really didn't have much to say. In the afternoon, Botan came over for tea. She and Surina talked for a while.
"How is Hiei doing?" Botan asked. Surina stiffened at the question.
"Umm…He's fine. He's been a little quiet today," she answered only half truthfully. Hiei came out to see the two girls. "Oh…um Hiei…would you like some lunch?"
"Hn. Yes, I want some of that brown stuff too," He made his way to the table and sat down expectantly. Botan smiled at him.
"Are you getting along with Surina?" she asked. Hiei snorted.
"Hn. She's annoying," He said rudely. Surina just stared at him. "I don't see how Kurama…" Hiei stopped himself. Botan had already heard too much.
"Kurama has a crush!" She screeched, getting really close to his face. Hiei had made a huge mistake and would pay for it. Now, Surina stared with curiosity.
"I…didn't say that!" He snapped, looking to Surina. The girl got the message and walked over to Botan.
"Botan…tomorrow is my birthday," she said quietly. Hiei looked shocked that she hadn't mentioned it before. Botan practically knocked Hiei over when she jumped up.
"Really…How about we have a party?" she asked. And just like that, Hiei's worst nightmare became a reality. All of the spirit detectives and their friends had been invited to have a night party at the apartment…including Yukina.
Surina sighed as Yuske and the others entered the apartment. She had really wanted to keep her birthday a secret. Kurama came next to her and they started to talk.
"How old will you be turning today?" He asked. Surina smiled.
"About seventy years old, Kurama," she replied smiling at his surprise. "Let me explain…You see, I died when I was fifteen when the maid of the house murdered me. She thought that I was a sin because of my gift for seeing the dead. When I died, Koenma offered that I work for him. When I go into human world, I am given a human body to function with and since I died at a young age, my body stays in that condition. So technically, I'm dead but, still alive." Kurama seemed interested and gently touched her hand.
"Amazing…you've had so many years of experience. Yet you still look young and beautiful," Kurama stated. Surina blushed and jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Aw, the love birds…" Yuske teased, placing a huge cake on the table. Kurama pulled away almost instantly, as if nothing had happened. Yuske cut the cake and everyone got a piece.
"Happy Birthday, Surina!" Everyone cheered. Everyone but, Hiei that is. He was sitting on the couch, pale in the face and empty in the eyes. He had been sitting there since everyone came over and hadn't moved. Something was definitely bothering him. Surina stole a glance at him from her seat at the table. She watched him suddenly stand up and walk into his room.
"Who wants to play DDR?" Yuske asked. He brought out the set and turned the music up loud. He and Kuwabara started having a dance off (and they both sucked). Worrying about Hiei, Surina slipped away unnoticed. She silently stepped into the bedroom. She could hear the loud music pounding on the other side of the door.
'No wonder Hiei left…It's crazy out there,' she thought looking around the dark room. She almost jumped out of her skin when she saw Hiei standing next to the window. He was…shivering even though it wasn't cold. Surina came closer.
"Hiei?" she whispered, "Are you alright?" Hiei started breathing harder.
"Just…stay away…from me," He choked out. Confused, Surina came next to her roommate. Hiei turned to look at her. His eyes widened and he quickly moved away.
'I'm, so empty…She looks…good…enough to eat…!'
'That's it…Let's have a bite…You know you want to.'
'Yessss…I'm so hungry.'
Surina was getting scared, now. Hiei had never looked at her with such a wanting before. It was close to the same look that Kurama always gave her. She didn't like it. Hiei's eyes were shadowed. "Do you remember, Surina? You promised…You owe me something…Now, let me have it!" Dark wings flew from Hiei's back, ripping his cloak. He grabbed her wrist. Surina yelped. His face was different! He no longer had pupils. Instead, his eyes were glowing red. She watched as Hiei's fangs slid down over his lips, drool dripping down his chin. She screamed but, it was too late. Hiei forced her under him and brought his face down next to her ear.
"Shhh…It will only hurt for a little while. The more you struggle, the more it hurts. So, don't move." Surina slowed down her breathing, realizing that this was not Hiei. It must've been Hiei's vampire instinct taking over his body. "I'm not going to rape you if that's what you were thinking. At least not yet…" He pushed his body down on her to keep her from moving. Surina squirmed, the fear clear in her eyes.
"Why are you doing this, Hiei?" tears were forming. The vampire stared at her.
"Because…I want you." He sunk his teeth into her sensitive flesh. Surina screamed an ear piercing scream. As Hiei drained her, the screams died down…along with her energy. When she was almost completely drained of blood, he let go smirking. Surina looked up at him with sad, tired eyes. The red glow flashed out of Hiei's eyes and a confused expression crept upon his face. He saw Surina laying there with blood on her neck. His wings retracted into his back and fainted. He was so tired…
'What have I done!' He slipped into unconsciousness.
Kurama and Yuske felt a sudden change in Hiei's spirit energy. They rushed to the bedroom to see Hiei and Surina on the ground. Kurama ran to Surina's side, seeing that she was so pale. Yuske picked up Hiei and Kurama did the same to Surina.
"What happened here!" Yuske yelled, angry that his friends were hurt. Kurama glared at Hiei's sleeping figure. He saw Surina's blood on his lips.
"Hiei must've bitten her…Surina is drained almost completely of her blood. I don't know what happened to Hiei…Yuske; we have to take them to the infirmary!" Yuske nodded in understanding and they both ran all the way to the hospital part of Koenma's palace. The doctors put Hiei and Surina in separate rooms. Surina was filled back up with blood and stayed unconscious. Hiei slept for a couple of hours.
Hiei's eyes snapped open and he shot up in his bed. He looked around to see Yuske. He was smiling happily then, glared playfully.
"You ass! You scared the hell outta me! Don't ever do that again!" He yelled. Hiei stared at him for a long time.
"Where is Surina?" He asked, as if Yuske hadn't said anything. The ex-spirit detective anime fell.
"She's in the room across from us. They had to fill her back up since…you know." He trailed off. Hiei stood up. He still had his pants but, his shirt was gone. He looked at the side table and saw another shirt for him. Putting it on, he walked out of the room.
Surina looked so limp and weak. Hiei walked next to her, seeing Kurama. Surprisingly, the fox glared at him. Taken back by this, Hiei glared back. "What are you looking at, Kurama?" The red-head looked back to Surina with sad eyes and left without a word. Hiei approached the bed side as Surina woke. She smiled at him.
"I'm glad to see that my blood was enough to feed you…" she said. Her voice was just above a whisper. Hiei started to tremble with anger and frustration for reasons he didn't know. He had to let it out. He grabbed her by the shoulders.
"Shut up...Why didn't you run away from me when I told you to?" He said the last part quietly. Surina's face was shadowed.
"Because," she whispered, looking at him with tears in her eyes. "I was afraid that you weren't well. I care about you Hiei…That's why I stayed. To make sure you were okay. It's my job." Hiei stared with shock clear across his face. The room began to spin and he sat down on the chair Kurama had been in. He really was a monster…Surina was just trying to help him and he screamed at her. Surina was smiling again. Not at him. Hiei looked in back of him. It was Yuske and Kurama.
"Surina…you scared me. When you didn't wake up, I-" Kurama said, ignoring Hiei. Yuske grinned.
"Aw, don't make her feel bad…lover boy," He snickered. "Koenma told us to get you…and Hiei and bring you both back to his place." Hiei and Surina exchanged glances. The boys left the room while Surina got dressed.
'Why is it that I can't remember anything after I told her to run?' Hiei felt the wound on his neck. It was just indents now. 'Did someone take over my body?' He noticed the fox-demon starring at him.
"Hiei…your smell…" He started. Yuske looked at him confused. "Your smell is all over Surina's body!"
"I didn't do anything to her, Kurama! I can hardly remember what happened! Stop accusing me!" Hiei backed. Yuske was a few feet away now from the outbursts. Surina stepped out of the room wearing casual attire. Kurama's glare softened and he smiled at the girl in front of him. Hiei still had his hands clutched into fists and Yuske had a sweat drop on the back of his head upon seeing the two demons verbal attack.
"Okay…I'm ready to go see Koenma," she sounded unsure. They walked to his office without much conversation.
Hiei and Surina walked in side-by-side. The toddler stared a minute before speaking.
"I'm glad to see that you're alright, Surina…And Hiei, you should've said something if you needed blood! You made yourself look foolish…though you weren't yourself." Hiei growled at being called foolish as Koenma turned on the T.V. An image of Hiei in the room with Surina came on. Hiei's wings popped out and his eyes glowed red. He came closer to her and jumped on top of her. He said something really low and Surina asked why he was doing this.
"Because…I want you." Then he bit her.
Hiei stood with his eyes glued to the screen. He hadn't remembered any of that.
"It can't be…" He mumbled.
