You turn around to face him and smile at him pointing to your nose. Your eyes have changed color again and are now an amber color (happy). Kurama notices your eyes and says, "Lee I think your eyes change color according to your emotions. They're an amber now. Now that you're starting to gain access to your demon powers your true form is revealing itself."
You give him a smaller smile than before and tell him through the telepathic link you just created, 'I think your right Kurama. My senses are being heightened every minute and I'm able to access powers I haven't been able to access before. Oh, and my real name is Lea Roshin. I'm glad you were able to figure it out. That's the reason why my eye's are an amber color. Amber means happy or glad. I have to go now. I need to get these bandages to Hiei. I didn't mean to injure him so badly. Well, See you later.'
With that you walk to a shadow and go to Hiei's room. When you get there your eyes are still their amber color. You walk over to Hiei who is now laying down on his bed. Hiei notices you and the color of your eyes. He asks about it and you make some words out of ice, that float in the air, that tell him what Kurama told you, about your true form finally revealing itself and your eyes changing color according to your emotions. Hiei sits up as you make the ice disappear. You bandage Hiei to where the bandages are tight but at the same time comfortable to move around in so that they don't fall.
"You know, I didn't ask for your help," Hiei remarked. You just continue to bandage his wound until you were finished. When you were done Hiei continued, "I'm sure that Kurama told you about me and my past, huh?" You looked at him as he turned towards you and made the ice writing again that said, "I know that you're the Forbidden Child and used to be a thief if that's what you mean." 'Where is he going with all of this? Am I confusing him with something?' you asked yourself. Kurama hadn't really told you but you knew from the series of course. The color of your eyes changed from amber to orange as you became confused by Hiei's sudden questioning.
"Then why are you helping me? If you know that I'm the Forbidden Child, and that I was a thief, then why are you still willing to help me?" Hiei asked. You could see that he was searching for something as he stared into your eyes.
You then gave him an answer that said, "I'm helping because I'm responsible for these wounds Hiei. I'm also helping because that's the kind of person I am." This startled Hiei a bit.
You took this opportunity to search his mind for some answers. You searched his memories from today after your battle with him. ( means memory)Hiei's on the ground, refusing to take your hand. He gets up after much struggle and is able to stand. You can see that he is in pain as he tries to stay up. He goes for walking next but falls over as soon as he lifts his foot. He finds himself caught by someone. Hiei looks up to find himself staring straight into their eyes. He keeps staring into that person's eyes, as if entranced by them, while the person helps him up. 'What beautiful sky blue eyes' Hiei thinks. He then realizes that the eyes belong to none other than you and shakes his head of the thought. You snap back into reality and release the connection.
Hiei had recovered from his state of shock and your eyes were no longer orange, but were now a gray color. (mixed emotions) The two of you sit there in silence with your eyes gray and both of your facial expressions stoic. You then decide to leave before it becomes more awkward. As soon as you get within a foot of the door though, Botan comes in and grabs your arm. She is soon followed by Kurama and Yusuke who walk over to Hiei and grab him as well. They then drag you two downstairs and into a couch that's in a circle of chairs filled with the rest of the gang. You then get this dreaded feeling as all the other things that you were thinking about were replaced with that one feeling. Your eyes turned to a dark purple (fear/dread) and Botan, Yusuke, and Kurama sit down in the remaining seats available.
"Okay, now that everybody's here, who wants to go first?" Botan said in a cheerier voice than usual.
Kurama volunteered to go first and said, "Lee, truth or dare?"
Your stomach dropped as you replied with ice letters, "Dare, Kurama." You then made the letters disappear and lowered your head so no one could see you face. Your eyes were now gray again as you thought of things he might make you do.
"I dare you to share the same room as Hiei and sleep in the same bed for exactly one month," Kurama said. You jerked your head up with your eyes now a dark purple with red out lining them as your stomach lurched up and threatened to make you puke it up.
'Why the hell did you choose to make me do that Kurama?! I let you in on a secret and when I say that you can't tell anybody you decide to use it against me?!' you yell in his head. You were currently pissed off at Kurama and your eyes turned to a crimson red like Hiei's. Kurama now had a headache thanks to you and you were happy that you gave him one, thus turning your eyes amber again. You then notice that Kurama seemed to be in even more pain and figured that Hiei just yelled at him in his head. Everyone noticed he was in pain and went to help him, except for you and Hiei of course. That paused the game and you and Hiei took this opportunity to escape upstairs before he recovered and the game continued. You both run to Hiei's room since, thanks to Kurama, it's now both of yours room. You close the door behind you, making sure to lock it, and go to the balcony where Hiei is. Your eyes turn once again gray as you sit in one of the chairs on the balcony.
You decide to tell Hiei your secret since he was bound to find out later that night anyways. You look out of the corner of your eye to Hiei, who was leaning up against the doorframe, and finally speak to him verbally as you tell him, "Hiei, I'm sorry you got dragged into this mess."
Your sudden outburst startled Hiei and he lost balance for a second. He looked towards you, who was now looking at him with a blank expression. "Did you just speak?" Hiei questioned raising an eyebrow.
You nod and reply, "Yes. My real name is Lea Roshin, not Lee Roshin."
"But I thought that demon took your voice at the park. So how are you able to speak if she took your voice?" Hiei continued to question as his curiosity grew.
"It's because when she held the bottle to my throat and said Gnignis eciov, which means singing voice it took only my singing voice. I still got to keep my regular speaking voice, but I didn't know this until awhile after she escaped. Kurama found out earlier today when I was getting your bandages that I was a girl and my real name was Lea but that was it," You explained.
Hiei was listening intently to every word you said as you removed your hat and let out your hair. You noticed however that your hair had changed like your eyes. Your hair now had bright crimson red streaks in it and was longer. You figured that it was probably part of the transformation and by the looks of it you would probably sprout ears and a tail of some sort of animal since you were able to make Kurama's rose whip transform back to the form of a rose. You noticed that Hiei had his attention all on you and you looked away and out to the forest so that he wouldn't notice you blushing.
You then continued, "I was also able to speak to him telepathically which is why his headache was so bad earlier. I yelled at him through telepathy as I expect you did as well after I left his mind. With me being a girl and not a boy it is also the reason why he did that dare, or at least part of it. God knows what else he had me do that stupid dare for. Either way it looks like we're stuck sharing the same room for a month. I just thought I might as well tell you since you were bound to find out sooner or later."
Hiei's Point of view 'Ok, that explains a few things, but what is this? She looks so peaceful there. Wait, what am I thinking?! She's only here until we get her voice back and win the Dark Tournament. I have to focus on the mission and let go of these pathetic human emotions. They are nothing more then distractions and weaknesses.' You thought. You shoved the thoughts to the far depths of your mind and looked out to the forest.
normal Point of view You had been staring out into the forest, like Hiei was doing, and listening to the nightly sounds of the land with your newly heightened senses. Just then you sensed that the whole YYH gang was approaching. You looked towards Hiei and said, "Hiei, we have to go now! Everyone's heading up here and they probably want us to continue the game with them. Hiei nodded and you both jumped into the forest.
You landed on the ground with your hat in your hand and Hiei in a tree beside you. Hiei jumped down and you both ran into the forest as you heard them enter the room. You both ran a ways until you reached the lake. You and Hiei stopped at the lakeshore and you pulled out your choker with the small charm of a girl wearing a purple rhinestone dress and put it around your neck. Hiei noticed you putting on the necklace.(I actually have that necklace. Its adorable and I wear it everyday with my Inuyasha prayer beads)
"What are you doing?" He asked you. You Bring your arms to your sides and look at him.
"What I'm doing is putting on a necklace. Why, does it bother you or something?" You reply with sarcasm easily detected in your voice.
"Hn," was his reply back as he looked out to the lake. You walked over and stood beside him as you looked out at the lake as well. You then decided to have a little fun while you were there.
You grabbed Hiei's arm and jumped into the lake, dragging him in with you. You both went under and when you came up you started laughing hard. Hiei then came up now mad that you did that and you laughed even harder. Hiei quickly swam over to you while you were laughing and you braced for his payback on you. You prepared yourself for a sudden dunking underwater.
Suddenly Hiei did what you least expected. Hiei had grabbed your arms and kissed you lightly on the lips. You were in complete and utter shock, but nonetheless you closed your amber eyes and returned the kiss. This time it was Hiei's turn to be shocked. As the kiss went on it became more passionate with each second. Eventually you were both sinking to the bottom of the lake, but neither of you cared because you were both lost in the kiss. You were both loosing breath when you were engulfed in a bright light. When the light disappeared you broke the kiss and realized that you were now able to breath underwater. You looked down and saw that you and Hiei had fish tails instead of legs. Hiei had a black fin and you had developed a black fin with red stripes like your hair. Your shirt had disappeared as well and was replaced with a black seashell bikini top. Hiei's shirt had also disappeared. You and Hiei had become merpeople.
You look back to Hiei who you saw also noticed the transformation. You then said, "Cool. I didn't know I could do that. Hey, Hiei. Catch me if you can. If I win, then you have to do whatever I tell you to do for a night. If you win, then I have to do whatever you tell me to do for a night. Deal?"
Hiei smirked and replied, "You better swim for it because I'm going to win that bet of yours." You smirked back and started to swim in the opposite direction. You swim faster and faster across the lake until you reach the other side of the lake. You then head upward and keep up the pace. You look behind you and see that you lost Hiei. You search for his energy while continuing your swim up to the surface. You find that Hiei is about twenty feet down and ten feet to the right of your current position. You continue swimming and make a sharp turn going past Hiei to confuse him. Your plan works as you sense Hiei's energy go up and burst through the surface. You stay just below the surface watching to see if he noticed your amber eyes and red stripes. He does and the chase is back on.
You and Hiei continue this throughout the night and past sunrise. You guys had left your swords at the house so you didn't worry about them rusting. You were having a lot of fun and you could tell that Hiei was too, even if he seemed to get mad at you for pulling your little tricks on him. Hiei hadn't caught you once and never gave up on trying to catch you.
While you were playing one of your tricks on Hiei, that made him look on the bottom of the lake while you secretly swam to the top and took a rest and keep track of his whereabouts, you could sense eight energy signatures approaching the lake. You recognized them as Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara, Yukina, Keiko, Shizuru, Botan, and Koenma. You quickly swam over to the waterfall and hid behind it while hiding your energy and keeping an eye on Hiei. You saw everyone approach the shore and you were glad that you put your hat in you pants pocket, which was now a pouch on a belt around your waist. You could also sense Hiei coming to the surface to see if you were up there.
When Hiei burst through the surface Botan shouted, "Look! There's Hiei! I knew we'd find him sooner or later!" With that Everyone looked to where Botan was pointing, and sure enough, there was Hiei in the water. Hiei heard Botan and looked over to the shore to find everyone there.
