Chapter 06 – Overdosed
When the doorbell rang, she rushed down and answered it. Kurama stood there, waiting for Anna.
"She'll be down soon, Kurama…" Setara said, and just as she finished her sentence, Anna appeared downstairs.
"Wow… you definitely look stunning, Anna…" Kurama breathed blinking at the beauty.
"Thanks, Kurama… you look great too." Anna whispered, and they took off. Setara closed the door and smiled to herself.
A few minutes later, the doorbell rang again, giving her a heart attack. She opened it yet again, and found Hiei in the doorway.
"You're beautiful…" He said, handing her a violet rose.
"Thanks, you look great too… Come in…" She smiled, and let him into her house. She put the rose in a vase then turned towards him. "So, are we going out, or just stay here?"
"We could go walking… it's a quiet night…"
"Okay." Setara said, and they walked outside the streets.
"You know… Anna told me it's your mating season…" Setara said calmly.
"I won't mark you." Hiei assured her.
Setara didn't speak for a few minutes. 'And what if I want you to mark me?'
"Are you still scared?" The fire demon asked, breaking the content silence.
"Yeah… I don't know how I feel, because I've never felt like this before… Like I could do anything when you're near… like I would slowly vanish if you wouldn't exist…"
"Strange… I feel the same way…" Hiei muttered absentmindedly. He wondered how could someone be so open like Setara. "You know… you have a very special scent…"
"Mmhmm… it's my perfume… it's called Die My Darling."
"It drives me nuts…" Hiei said. 'It urges me to mark her… I have to restrain myself.'
"Really? I don't want you to end up in a nut house!" Setara said, looking at him.
"No, I meant it drives my senses away… the world seems to disappear, and there's only you…"
"Same with your eyes…" Setara smiled. She then felt Hiei taking her hand in his. Her heart raced at the contact. They walked without speaking for a few minutes, when Setara broke the silence.
"If you don't mind asking, why do you always wear a white bandana on your forehead?" Hiei a bit reluctantly showed her his third eye.
"It's called Jagan." He said.
"Wow… it's the same color as my eyes! Freaky… but cool nonetheless." She smiled at him as he put the bandana back. "Hey… do you want to see my demon form?" She asked suddenly.
"Will it ruin your clothes?" Hiei asked. 'DAMN IT! I KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS THAT MAKE ME LOOK STUPID!'
"Hey, don't look so eager, it won't!" Setara smirked, then transformed. She had two black wings, and her hair and eyes became fully black. "Do I look evil?" She asked, turning around for him.
"Hmm…" Hiei said eyeing her up-and-down. "No."
"Then how do I look?" Setara asked, transforming back. Hiei took her hand again.
"Like a seductive dark angel luring me with her charm." He answered, not meeting her eyes. Her presence was indeed making his hormones working again.
"Can someone get overdosed by another person's presence?" Setara asked smiling.
"I don't know… I could ask the same thing…" 'Damn it, I'm becoming over-sentimental!'
"My heart is turning against the teaches of my tribe… I'm struggling to hold it back, but every time I see you, it wants to erupt again." Setara said, looking at the pavement. Hiei stopped and turned to look into her eyes.
"Let it flow." He commanded lightly.
"Are you sure?" The phoenix demon asked, quite shocked at his demand.
Hiei nodded so Setara did what her heart told her. She kissed him forcefully on his lips, making him groan in surprise. She buried her hands in his hair, and he slipped his arms around her waist. She moaned into the kiss, loving every second of it. She parted her lips, to let Hiei's tongue slide inside her warm, inviting mouth as he took control over the kiss. His tongue explored her cavern, and finally it found hers. They danced in an ancient wild dance that mimicked ardent lovemaking. A few seconds passed by like this then suddenly Setara's eyes snapped open.
It took her some time to break the kiss; she had to bite Hiei to make him stop it. She stepped back from him, and stared at his bleeding mouth.
"I'm so sorry… I really didn't mean to bite you… I just…" She trailed off, looking everywhere but at him.
"What is it, Setara?"
"I… I…" She shook her head, and ran back to her house, with Hiei at her heels. She ran in, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her roughly against him. She fell on top of him, and stared into his eyes.
"Hiei…" She breathed.
"Setara…" Hiei answered, pulling her closer.
"I don't know how I feel…" She said, again not meeting his eyes.
"I think you know it deep down… you're just afraid to admit it…" He whispered into her ear, pulling her down on his chest.
Setara looked into his eyes again, then kissed him lightly, pressing her body against him. He moaned into her kiss, and deepened it. When she pulled away, she stood up. Hiei gathered her into his arms and sat down on the couch with her in his lap.
"Do you feel the same as I do, Hiei?" She asked.
No reply came; Hiei just kissed her ear and ran a hand through her hair. Setara took the action as a yes, and changed the subject.
"Do you think you could…take me on in public?"
Again, no answer, Hiei just shifted under her. Setara figured it must be embarrassing for the demon to talk about this, so she went back kissing him. They were making out for a half hour when Setara reluctantly pulled away.
"Anna says they're coming home…" She said a bit sadly.
"I'll go then."
"Mmhmm."
Setara got up from Hiei's lap, and the demon walked to the door. He opened it, and saw Kurama and Anna walking towards the house. He turned to look into Setara's eyes. He said nothing, just kissed her quickly then he walked out.
"See you." He said, turning back slightly. He wanted to get away from the girl's presence as fast as he could. It was driving him crazy that he couldn't mark her yet.
"See you, Hiei… I shall miss you till then…" The girl whispered, as she watched him walk away. She stood there in the doorway, looking at the lonely dark shadow, and wished that she was walking next to him, and he was holding her hand again.
Kurama and Anna walked up to her.
"I haven't seen him like this before… this mating season totally changed Hiei." Kurama said.
"Setara, are you okay?" Anna asked, waving a hand in front of her friend's face.
"Yeah… I just… I'm in love…" She said then walked inside dazedly, leaving the two lovebirds alone. They parted with a chaste kiss, and Anna walked into the house. She immediately walked into her room and lied down. She knew Setara wanted to be alone.
