Experimental Obsessions

Chapter 10

Nissa's ears began twitching as she faintly heard her name in the distance and the sound of things moving around her didn't help. She sat up now quickly and looked around. No way someone was already here out of the guys, she growled a bit her guard going up hearing noises in the trees circle around her. She stood up and too a defensive stance. The whooshing of the trees got louder and closer as time passed, her eyes followed the noise around her when it suddenly stopped. Her ears twitched again as she stepped back on the edge of the cliff as something flew past her face, missing her by inches. She growled and her energy rose slightly around her as she turned, noting that there was a pair of red robotic eyes set on her. 'Fuck!' She yelled in her head as she quickly began to run at a fast pace running away from the robotic eyes and the waterfall. She made sure to keep herself a good distance away from the temple not wanting to get anyone hurt because of her. She was now attempting to get her energy down, as she wanted to keep herself away from the robotic figure that was hot on her trail. She turned sharply which caused the figure to rush right past where she turned, she heard a very robotic growl as it attempted to turn and catch up to her again.

Jumping up in a tree she hoped to confuse it turning to a blur as she jumped from tree to tree at a very fast rate. She glanced back only for a moment to see the black steel body with red eyes robotic assassin. She growled in frustration as she skidded to a stop as she hit the ground, as she skidded she turned around grabbing the ground to help stop herself. The robot stopped in front of her now as the speaker on it began to speak, "Number 397 when will you learn that you can't keep running from us we will get you dead or alive!" the speaker phone yelled at her. She growled to the robot, "Leave me alone!" She yelled out as she raised her energy again as she got more and more angry. "You know we can't do that." It stated and she grinned evilly, "Then come get me bastards!" She yelled to it. At this reaction the robot began to throw things at her attempting to hit her but she quickly moved out of harms way. The robot growled out some static as it now charged at her it's arm turning to a drill making the loud drilling sound now.

Nissa glared at the oncoming robot as she growled, her fingers grew long a sharp, making deadly weapons. Once the robot got close enough she jumped, flipping in the air slicing at it then landing on her feet, crouched down her arms out. She looked back seeing the robot stopping and turning just to fall to pieces where it stood. It made a small little explosion the speaker landing beside her as it was still working as between the static she could hear, "We will get you number 397, it's just a matter of time." She stomped her foot down crushing the steal speaker with her barefoot.

The guys skidded to a stop as they saw the mini explosion and heard what the speaker had said. They just stared for a few moments watching as Nissa's fingers retracted back to normal and she fell to her knees and screamed out in frustration and anger. This made Kurama and Yuuske tense up as Hiei stared for a moment before starting to walk up to her, Kurama looked at Hiei wondering what he was going to do. Yuuske seemed sad as he watched also, he didn't like seeing his family member like this or hearing that she was referred to as number, which didn't make too much sense to him, but he knew it was nothing good.

Hiei knelt down beside her, "Get up Onna." He said in a rough, cold tone but to her he sounded like he cared. She looked up at him almost nearly making him frown a bit as she looked so innocent for a split moment like she was going to cry. She quickly looked away not liking to show people what she was going through, "Get up." Hiei demanded trying to get her to be strong enough to. She growled a bit and looked at him with a rough look, "Why?" She asked as he just looked at her with somewhat soft eyes though he narrowed them at her. She looked away, "Why do you even care? Any of you?" She hissed out. Yuuske now walked over and smacked her upside the back of her head and began to yell at her, "Knock it off!" She growled out and held her head, "Bah! Pain is never going to go away!" She glared up at him but had a look of confusion fall over her face. She saw that Yuuske was upset, angry but upset, "You fucking kidding me!" He yelled at her, "Why would we be looking for you if we didn't care!" He kept yelling. This made her look away, "Because I'm a danger to your world and that Koenma guy would rip into you all." She stated bluntly only to get hit again upside the head making her growl out again, "Stop that!" She hissed at him and glared daggers. "No! Not until you get it through your thick skull that I at least care!" He yelled out. She waved him off and looked at the ground, "Kay. Whatever Yuuske!" She mumbled out something which only Hiei heard which made him blink and stare at her in a different way in his eyes he looked to be sympathizing with her about something.

Kurama noticed Hiei's look and wondered what she had said but brushed if off for right now, "Let's get back before Yukina worries too much more." Nissa looked up at Kurama confused. Someone cared and worried that she was gone which baffled her a bit but she nodded as she brought herself to her feet. Yuuske glared at her for a moment; Nissa suddenly felt her feet leaving the ground as someone had their arms around her hugging her from behind. She blinked a bit looking over her shoulder seeing Yuuske hugging her. "Don't make us worry about you cuz." He stated before ruffling her hair, which made her growl, as she didn't like it. "Down Yuuske. Put me downnnn!" She wiggled around in his arms till he set her down where she proceeded to turn around and kick him in the shin making him yell for a moment and grab his knee and rub it.

She began to walk past them all as she was heading back to the temple now her ears twitching to all the sounds in the forest, more so then before on edge about things. She heard Kurama help Yuuske up and start walking behind her while Hiei took to the trees and was above her now. She glanced up at him before back down at the forest ground, avoiding things that made too much noise or caused pain. She kept walking in silence though it was a bit weird having people walking with her and what not as she was use to being alone. She wanted so bad to run all the way back knowing it was going to take a bit to get back to the temple unlike if she was running.

After a bit of time passed the temple would be in view as they walked up to the temple, Nissa jumped up into her window that was still open as she refused to go through the front door. Yuuske sighed seeing what she did, "Ugh…" he groaned out a bit and went inside followed by Kurama while Hiei jumped into Nissa's window also but was stealthy about it. Nissa was rubbing her temple a bit, though she smelt the food in the air and that made her stomach growl loudly but she ignored it. She turned knowing someone was in the room with her, she sighed seeing Hiei and rolled her eyes a bit. "Not going to badger me with questions again, are you?" She asked in a bitter and tired tone. He watched her for a moment as she moved to a wall and leaned on it now. She hadn't even touched the bed at all yet as she stared at him waiting for his answer. "Hn." He replied before sitting on her window ceil now and kept his eyes on her. She rolled her eyes, "What is it Hiei? Seriously NOT in the mood right now." She grumbled out as she kept her eyes on his.

"What was that number back there?" He asked slowly as he turned his attention to her as he wanted to see her reaction. She nearly choked a bit as she now narrowed her eyes, "A number that was assigned to me instead of my name." She growled out as it was a dangerous question, "and branded on me." She then pulled out her bottom lip showing him a black set of numbers '397' on her bottom inner lip. When he saw she would let go of her lip now. Seeing this he didn't say anything just stared at her for a moment before his cold emotionless self came back and shrugged a bit going to look out the window now. She glared at him, "Anymore stupid questions?" she asked rather ticked off with the other question as it was none of his damn business in her eyes. He stood up with another 'Hn' again and walked to her door opening it, "Going to eat?" He said in a sarcastic tone as she rolled her eyes, glaring holes in the back of his head as she followed him out of the room and shut her door. She walked into the dinning room where everyone else was, including a short woman a good foot shorter then Nissa standing there that must have been ancient she was so old. She stared at the woman for a moment noting the faded light pink hair and her eyes; she seemed to be wise. Nissa bowed her head to her out of respect as she was taken back by a sudden hug from Yukina, "I'm so glad to see you're alright!" She exclaimed though it made Nissa feel bad a bit as she smiled slightly to Yukina, "Sorry for worrying you…" She whispered as Yukina let go of her. She looked to the old woman and smiled, "Nissa this is Genkai." She introduced the old woman to Nissa now. Nissa bowed her head, "Nice to meet you." Genkai nodded a bit, "And you." She stated her voice raspy.

Nissa looked to the table where there was breakfast foods piled up on plates and empty plates at the seats around the table. She seemed nervous for some reason as she looked at Yukina with a small nervous smile. Yukina noticed this and smiled at her, "Yuuske and Kazuma eat a lot." She stated, though that's not why Nissa was nervous she was nervous at the fact that she hadn't eaten at a table since she was just a kid. She laughed just slightly as she nodded to what Yukina said. She blinked though hearing as Genkai called out that the food was ready; Yuuske and Kuwabara ran into the room like something was chasing them as they sat down and scooped up some food to their plates in gross amounts and began digging into it. She watched this though seemed to be fine with how they ate even though she knew it wasn't a normal thing to other people. She began to laugh a bit watching them fight over who was eating the most. Kurama walked in and went to sit down away from them as to not get food all over him. Yukina walked over and sat next to Kuwabara and began to get some food for herself. Nissa noted that almost everyone was sitting down including Genkai. She slowly walked over and sat beside Yuuske and next to her appeared Hiei as he sat down also. She looked over at him and glared a bit, which Kurama and Genkai noticed and took note of it. Nissa went to get some food but only grabbed a few strips of bacon setting it on her plate. She began to nibble on the crispy bacon, Yuuske saw this, "Oh no you don't!" He stated, food going back on his plate from his mouth, which did disgust her a little bit. She glared at him when he spoke, "You need to eat more then that little miss Nis." She growled out at what he called her, "I'll eat what I want Yuuscape." She stated in a bitter tone and the name she chose made him narrow his eyes at her, "You didn't just call me that." He stated, everyone was now watching except Kuwabara who was busy eating at this point.

Yuuske set his fork down and glared at her a bit though it was a semi-playful way where she watched him carefully. "Don't even fat ass." She growled knowing what he was going to do. He picked up some egg and flicked it on her. It got on her face, her eyes were closed as a growl escaped her throat and came out her lips. His arms were crossed as he had a smug look on his face. She opened her eyes giving him a death glare as she wiped the egg off of her. She stood up with a fork in her hand now as his face quickly turned to fear as he got up and began to run out of the dining area. She through the fork at him pinning his shirt to the wall making him stop dead in his tracks and fall over, hanging from his shirt.

The room was silent as she slowly sat back down, knowing eyes were on her. Kurama began to chuckle a bit, Genkai shook her head, Yukina covered her mouth slightly as she began to giggle and Hiei had a smirk on his face from amusement. "Starve." She hissed at Yuuske. She went back to nibbling on her bacon, not looking at anyone as she closed her eyes eating her food contently. After about six pieces of bacon she slowly stood up and bowed slightly, "Thanks for the food." She stated as she walked over past Yuuske and ripped the fork out of the wall, making him fall to the ground. She dropped the fork in his lap as she went to go outside. She walked out the front door and went to the ground before she jumped up off the roof quietly and gracefully. She went to the very top where it was highest and went to sit down with her legs crossed as she looked out to the horizon taking in the last of the sun coming up now.

As the other ate, Yuuske ate up quickly seeing as he finally could again. Kuwabara was still eating. Genkai rolled her eyes, "Pigs." She stated in a bitter annoyed tone. Hiei finished eating as he got up and went to leave the room. Kurama looked up seeing this, "Hiei don't go too far today please." He stated. Hiei stopped for a moment and nodded grunting out a 'Hn' again. Hiei now walked to the front door and walked out into the opening in front of the house. He looked up seeing Nissa on the roof of the temple just staring off into the sunrise. He watched as the sun caressed over her skin causing a light glow, she closed her eyes once the light started to hit her eyes. She'd have a small actually visible smile on her face as the warmth was hitting her body. 'Wow…' ran through Hiei's head as he saw this but growled softly to himself shaking his head a bit as he turned walking towards the forest.

Hiei stopped at the edge of the forest hearing soft humming coming from the temple. He looked back up as he saw Nissa swaying her head back and forth as she seemingly was humming contently. The weird thing was the demonic tone to her voice wasn't really heard but the angelic one was heard more dominant then ever as she hummed to herself. Her humming was filled with emotion that she hid from everyone else though she didn't know anyone was outside let alone watching. Her fingers moved taping the roof softly as if she were playing an instrument of some sort. Hiei couldn't help but listen and watch as he jumped up into a tree, sitting down. He closed his eyes and listened to her humming her song though he could feel the sadness and pain in her unspoken words to her humming.

Nissa came to the end of her humming as she let out a deep sigh, 'Jax… Jess… I'm sorry…' She thought to herself as just two tears ran down her cheeks; falling from her face they made a small 'tink' sound when they hit the roof in the form of gems, she looked down at them and grabbed them quickly as they attempted to escape down to the ground. She held them tightly in her hand after she looked at the gems. She frowned slightly though a small smile showed as she stared at them. Something that rarely ever happened did, as instead of being bright violet in the black tear gem one was bright neon pink while the other was a bright aqua color. She sighed out as no more tears escaped her eyes. She gripped them tightly and closed her eyes. Hiei heard her thoughts as she stopped, causing to open his eyes and look at her again. He was relaxing back on the branch he was on, sitting on it with his back leaning against the trunk. He blinked seeing tear gems fall from her face which he narrowed his eyes at seeing only two falling as he knew this woman wasn't a Koomire at all then remember the numbers on the inside of her lip and 'Hn'ed to himself as he just watched her now seeing what she was doing.

Yuuske ran outside suddenly, startling Nissa from the slam of the temple doors and made Hiei look down from his spot. "Nissssaaaa?" He called out in an attempt to figure out where she was. She let out an annoyed sigh, "What?" She asked in a blunt way making him jump and look up at the top of the temple. "What the hell are you doing up there for?" He asked narrowing his eyes at her. She rolled her eyes, "Sitting here what does it look like I'm doing you fool." She stated in a bothered tone now. He shook his head, "Smartass!" He yelled at her. Yup these two were part of the same family in away, the way they bickered made Hiei wonder if he and Yukina would be like that if she knew. He shook off that thought though and scowled at himself. Nissa gripped the tear gems tightly as she stood up, disappearing and reappearing in front of Yuuske as she glared up at him. "What?" she asked now in a stern tone, as she wanted to have some time to herself again. Yuuske blinked a bit and sighed, "Isn't your birthday in a few days?" He asked which made her freeze as she just stared up at him in a shocked way. She stepped back and snapped out of it glaring at him, "So?" She hissed out. Yuuske grinned at this answer, "I didn't forget!" he exclaimed to himself all proud. She rolled her eyes and turned her back to him and went to walk away.

"Wait Nissa! What's wrong?" She glanced back at him with a nasty look and disappeared suddenly without saying anything. He blinked, "Was it something I said?" He asked to himself seeming extremely confused. Hiei watched this and also became confused, what about her birthday made her angry? Hiei disappeared as he went off to find her now knowing if he didn't they'd be doing so anyways later. She was running at her top speed, which literally was a blur as the trees blew back a bit from the wind force behind her running. She didn't know where she was running to and she didn't even care as she kept running though she turned to go where she had found earlier in the morning, it was nearly 11am now as she kept running, the tear gems were safe as she kept a tight grip on them; one in each hand making it so she just ran and used her legs at this point. She didn't make any noise as she ran, as she was really light on her feet.

She kept running but skidded to a stop when she got to the waterfall from the morning, skidding to a stop literally stopping on the edge of the cliff like rock again. She looked down in the water and saw her reflection; seeing herself in the water she got a sour look on her face, "Freak." She growled at herself before she looked around and took in a big breath before slowly letting it out. She needed to calm herself down but swung her body around looking behind her as Hiei began to speak jumping down from the tree he was in, "Stop running off." He stated and glared at her annoyed. She rolled her eyes, "Why do you care hm?" She asked in a ticked off tone. He glared at her, "I don't. I don't want to have to come after you again when the others worry." He seemed mad at this point and blunt. She didn't feel anything when he said he didn't care, she shrugged it off, "Well then I don't need to worry about anything do I?" She stated closing her eyes for a moment. "I'll end up getting you all killed anyways." She stated in a bitter tone. "Doubtful." He stated with a cocky smirk on his face.

Nissa rolled her eyes as she sat down on the edge, letting her feet dangle her toes hitting the cold water. She moved the tear gems into one hand now and held on to them in that one hand. Hiei just watched her for a moment and seemed to get irritated; he walked up to her and stood above her, "Go back to the temple." He stated in a stern cold tone. She looked up at him and glared, "I'll go back when I damn well please." She stated in a cold mean tone. He glared down at her, "Now." She stood up and turned to face him her face away from his, "Make me." She challenged. He glared deep into her golden eyes with his crimson ones. Sparks ran through her eyes as she didn't back down at all in this staring contest like challenge, not blinking once. Hiei refused to back down also, seemed that this was going to be a hard challenge as they were both too stubborn to back down.

She gripped her fists tightly now though she was trying not to crush or break the tear gems in her hand. He was amused slightly by her anger with him as he grinned a bit and reached forward, pushing her into the water. She seemed shocked at first as she fell but hissed out feeling the water hit her body causing a small spark to escape her body hitting the water zapping most the fish; that were in range of her, making them explode in the water. She screamed out in slight pain as she also proceeded to zap herself. She came back up and hissed out, breathing heavily trying to catch her breath. She looked up at where Hiei was as dead fish carcasses and blood come to the surface of the water around her. She glared at Hiei as he had a smug smirk on his face with his arms crossed over his chest. "Fucker." She growled out as she jumped out of the water going to tackle him. He disappeared in front of her eyes so she curled, running on the ground as she looked around for him. She honestly wasn't doing well now from her own zap making her a bit shaky. Her senses were off but she wouldn't let him know that if she could help it she felt weight on her back causing her to tense up but not go down at all. She laughed knowing it was him standing on her back, "Not going to weigh me down much." She stated and laughed a bit as she was holding her weight and his like he wasn't even there at this point.

Hiei glared down at her and disappeared and reappeared grabbing her back the back of his black tank top that he had let her burrow that was now soaked and clinging to her form. She sighed not feeling up to fighting at this point, "You know what… I'm not in the mood for this." She stated as she put her feet on the ground when he let her down on the ground. "To the temple it is." She stated as she began to run back leaving him in her dust as he stood there. She honestly just wanted to be left alone but seeing what just happened she knew it wasn't going to happen anytime soon. Hiei was beside her in no time as he smirked slightly before running faster then her causing her to growl and roll her eyes. She now attempted to keep up with his speed though as she ran almost directly beside him now.

It was neck and neck with the two of them now racing each other though they never said they were but clearly it now had turned to that. The got to the end of the forest and Nissa skidded to a stop right before the opening as she heard Yuuske yelling inside the temple. She sighed out now wondering what was going on as now Hiei was already to the steps when she walked out of the forest tree line. Hiei walked inside as Nissa ran and jumping into her bedroom window again, she set the tear gems down in the dresser that was in the room. She slowly made her way down the hallway towards where Yuuske was yelling about something. Her ears began to twitch hearing the yelling, "What do you mean she's dead!" He screamed at someone. She blinked hearing this but narrowed her eyes hearing Botan trying to calm Yuuske down, "Yuuske… please calm down." She then heard something that made her stomach turn to knots, "Nissa Gracelyn is dead. She was written down that she was dead when she turn 5." She heard the Spirit World Prince talking. Yuuske began to yell again, "Bullshit! Then how is she here!" He yelled at, Nissa stayed in the hallway listening her stomach turning into more knots as she felt like she couldn't breathe from the tension she was feeling. "We have no records of her living after that point so it's possible that this demon is not who you think she is." Koenma spoke again, Nissa walked forward for a moment just staring in at them. She seemed hurt, though she looked at Koenma, "Because you turn a blind eye to some things." She whispered softly, her voice full of hurt and now hatred.

Nissa caught the attention of everyone in the room as her body was still dripping with some water onto the floor and she didn't care. Her hair was sticking to her face, she glared at all of them even Yuuske, the only one she didn't glare at was Yukina as she had a feeling she would stick by almost anyone. Her eyes landed on Yuuske with a cold glare, after a few moments she glanced at Hiei with a dark look in her eye before looking at Koenma, if looks could kill he'd be ripped apart limb from limb in the most grotesque way. "I did die when I was 5!" She hissed out, "And many times after that asshole." The room felt more and more tense. She lifted her shirt not caring if her breasts showed as she showed off the scar running down her body. "Think someone could just live through something as nasty as being cut open as if you were dead to begin with!" She yelled at them, tears building up in her eyes. Yuuske looked at the scars and looked more angered but also a bit sad seeing them. Yukina gasped seeing the scar, nearly made her start crying as she shook a bit trying not to. Kurama looked at the scars and frowned a bit seeing them, Botan gasped out looked almost sick while Koenma eyed the old scars. Genkai and Kuwabara were nowhere to be seen though as they seemed to be missing from the room.

"And I assure you I'm very much a-fucking-live!" She yelled at them, she dropped her shirt covering the scars. "Fuck you all." She stated as she went to walk out of the temple now, Yuuske growled and pushed Botan away from him as he went to run after her, "Nissa wait!" She was already to porch, but stopped to hear what he had to say. "What do you want Yuuske?" She asked bitterly making him stop behind her as he went to touch her shoulder but she shrugged it off. "Don't leave. We can help you." Was heard from the nearly crying Yukina who walked up behind Yuuske, "Yeah cuz." He chimed in. "I don't want to cause you all anymore trouble… Good bye." She stated without turning back around at all as she disappeared in a blue. "NISSA!" Yuuske yelled out at the top of his lung wanting her to come back.
