4 Years Ago:
"Nali,please, don't make me go, please, I beg you!
"You
have to. Besides, you might make friends."
It was the first
day of 7th grade.
"Good, we're early. Now you can
socialize,"Nali said as they both reached the classroom.
Nali
went and sat down at a desk, while Kalia, still fuming, sat next to
the window at a desk near the back. Nali looked at her sister and
gave her a huge smile. Kalia sweat dropped. Her sister could be
weird. A girl near the front named Mia motioned for Kalia to come and
talk to her. Kalia went up and stood next to her.
"Are you
new to this city? I know mostly everyone here except you, your
sister, and those two boys coming in,"Mia said.
In the
doorway were 2 boys. 1 was short but slightly taller than Kalia with
spikey black hair with a white star burst in front. The 2nd was
taller, slightly taller than Nali, with short red
hair.
"Actually,"Mia said," I know the red haired
one. He was at my old school. I think he is sooo cute. His name is
Shuichi Minamino. He has the most gorgeous emerald green eyes.
But
it wasn't the red head who caught Kalia's attention. The black haired
one looked like he was a very serious person. Just then, he noticed
Kalia staring at him. They caught each others eyes for a moment and
then Kalia turned away quickly. She noticed that his eyes were a
magnificent red. Out of the corner of her eye, Kalia saw the Minamino
boy sit behind Nali, who turned around to meet him. She also saw the
other boy take a seat, unknowingly, next to Kalia's desk.
Mia, who
had been watching the red head, started talking again. After 5
minutes, Kalia told Mia that they should got ready for the teacher to
arrive. As Kalia turned to go back to her desk, she almost collided
with the black haired boy.
"Oh!,"Kalia said in
surprise,"Hi, what's your name?"
"Hn," was
his reply.
"Answer her question, she asked in the means of
being friendly. I don't think you should be rude to her and not
answer her question,"the Minamino boy said to the black haired
boy.
The shorter boy scowled.
"My name's Hiei,"he
said angrily.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Kalia. I didn't
mean to upset you, but oh, well,"Kalia answered, shoving past
him.
He seemed stunned that she had gotten angry with him. She had
seemed like a pushover.
Kalia had noticed that he wore a headband
over his forehead. She had also sensed him as a youki(demon). The
same went for the Minamino boy.
At the end of the day as she and
Nali were leaving school, Nali told her about how nice Shuichi was.
Kalia looked back at teh school. She could see a pair of ruby colored
eyes watching her. Once she blinked though, the eyes were gone.
That
night a 10:00, Kalia left the Spirit World. She went for a walk by a
nearby lake. Kalia sat down at the side of the lake and looked into
the water. Kalia then noticed a figure clad in black reflected in the
water.
"You shouldn't be out at this time of night,"a
voice said.
Kalia turned around so quickly that she would have
fallen in the water if the figure hadn't grabbed her wrist.
"I
should say the same to you,"Kalia said,"What are you doing
out here anyway?"
"That's not any of your concern,"Hiei
answered,"But I see you came here to think about
school."
"You're a telepath aren't you,"Kalia
asked,"I see you came here to think about school and about how
rude you were to...me?"
Hiei looked slightly
surprised.
"You're a telepath, also?,"he asked.
"Along
with other things,like knowing you aren't human."
Hiei
grabbed his katana, getting ready to fight, but Kalia grabbed his
hand, making his arm stiffen.
"Don't worry, I'm not human,
either,"Kalia said gently,"I'll explain if you want."
Kalia
sat down next to the lake.
"You'll have to sit so I don't
have to keep looking up at you,"she said.
Hiei glared at her,
but sat down next to her.
"My mom was half Ice and half
Animal Demon, while my dad(blah,blah,blah) which makes me mostly an
Ice and Fire Demon,"Kalia started.
Hiei seemed
shocked.
"What?,"Kalia asked.
"I'm also half Ice
and half Fire Demon,"he replied.
"Really? That's
cool,"Kalia said.
Kalia ended up telling Hiei everything
about her parents. When she reached the end, a tear ran down her
cheek, but she brushed it away quickly. Not quickly enough for Hiei
not to see though.
"I was forbidden,"Hiei started.
He
told her his story except for certain things that were his secrets
likecoughYukinacough.
"That's so sad,I'm sorry,"Kalia
said.
To Hiei's surprise, Kalia slid closer to him and gave him a
hug. Just a quick one though. Hiei had blushed slightly.
["Don't
be sorry."
Hiei had sent that telepathically.
"I
should get back before Nali starts to worry,"Kalia said,"See
you tomorrow,Hiei."
"'Night, Kalia,"Hiei said
quietly as he walked away.
["Call me Kali,"
Hiei
looked back at her. She gave him a warm smile and left.
The year went by
smoothly. Kalia learned a lot about Hiei and vise versa. It was the
ending of the last day of 7th grade. Hiei was at the park. It was
deserted. Hiei felt a demonic presence. Then, Hiei saw it was an
ugly, pale grey demon. Hiei pulled out his katana and started to
attack. After 2 minutes, the demon had dodged all of Hiei's attacks.
The demon was ready to hit Hiei with a fatal blow, when a wolf came
running out of the woods and started attacking the demon. In 1
minute, the demon was dead. The wolf turned to Hiei as he took his
katana and tried to kill it. The wolf dodged and ran into the woods.
A second later, Kalia jumped out of a tree.
"Why would you
attack the wolf?,"Kalia shouted,"It helped you, not try to
kill you."
"How did you know?,"Hiei snapped.
"I...I
saw the whole thing,"Kalia replied.
"Why didn't you
help?,"Hiei shouted.
"I didn't think you'd want me
to,"Kalia replied.
"To right I wouldn't,"he
said.
"I hate your attitude,"Kalia said angrily.
"Yeah,
well, I hate you!,"Hiei shouted without thinking.
Hiei
regretted those words once he saw the look on Kalia's face. It was of
severe hurt.
["Kali, I-"
["You're right,I
should be hated."
Kalia ran. She ran as she opened a portal
to the Spirit World, tears streaming from her eyes. That was the last
time she had seen Hiei.
-Back to Present-
"Oh, so thats what happened!,"Parlisa
exclaimed,"Was it because of your love for dogs or the
other?"
"The other,"Kalia said.
"So you
were-,"Par said.
"Yep,"Kalia replied.
