Experimental Obsessions

Chapter 14

Three days past since that night, Nissa tried to keep her distance from everyone as the glow got more quick with the blinking. She began to get attached to them though as they made her feeling welcomed. She found that she had a hard time doing things Yukina told her to do, she didn't like Kuwabara that much but he was fun to pick on, Yuuske kept trying to talk to her here and there but she would always find away to switch the conversation or get out of talking to him when her past came up at all. Genkai was a nice wise woman that was a hard ass but she didn't mind her that much, Hiei kept to himself though she knew he was in her mind every so often and it irritated her. She was beginning to not like Botan as she was too happy any time she came to visit. Everyone was relaxing, Yuuske and Kuwabara were playing video games and fighting about nonsense about them; Nissa didn't show it but she was actually interested in the videogame systems and what not when they did play. Kurama was off to visit his mother for a few hours, Yukina was cooking yet again even though the sun hadn't went down, Genkai was God knows where and Hiei wasn't around. Nissa sat in his window though sitting opposite of where he usually sat. She glanced over at the two playing the video game loudly; She let out a sigh in annoyance. Kuwabara looked at her, "What's your issue Shortette?" He asked, causing her to snap a glare at him not liking the nickname he had chosen for her. "You two are stupid I swear." She stated as Yuuske paused the game making Kuwabara yell at him about how that wasn't fair. She rolled her eyes but look at Yuuske looked at her, "I'm not stupid I just hang out with stupid." He stated talking about Kuwabara who didn't understand what he said for the first few moments. She chuckled a bit when he did and his face turned red, "HEY!" He yelled out as they began to play wrestle.

Nissa watched for a few moments before getting up and sighing, walking off towards the back door to the training grounds area. "Where are you going?" Yuuske called out obviously winning the wrestling, "Away from you idiots." She stated in a blunt tone as she walked outside and looked around at the training grounds. She sighed out again she seemed to be rather down about something though no one really knew this unless they were a nosey Hiei but he hadn't been around to probe her mind. She peaked her head back in and looked towards the kitchen and saw Yukina, "You need any help?" She asked, startling Yukina at first before looking at her and smiled, "No I'm fine thank you." She bowed her head in thanks. "Alright I'm going to be around but I'll be back." She stated as if not to worry to poor ice maiden as she cooked. Yukina smiled at this and nodded, "Alright. Dinner will be done in a little bit." She stated. Nissa nodded, "Thanks." She whispered before turning around and quickly went to run into the tree lines as she felt like running again.

After awhile she would stop on a branch as she felt someone near by which made her go check it out. She hoped silently from branch to branch till she got to where she was going. She stopped at a clearing and blinked a bit seeing Hiei in the middle of the opening seemingly fighting an invisible enemy. She watched this with as she took everything in, he was sweating slightly like he had been out here for a while, and he had his katana out as he was slicing at the air and what not. She looked at him more and noticed that he didn't have his cloak on and that he was shirtless; she could see how well toned his abs were, which made a faint purple come to her cheeks. She watched him in silence enjoying watching him train and not just because he was shirtless, but that was a plus to it. She was crotched down on the branch, her hands holding onto it under her as she smiled a bit.

She shifted on the branch a bit making a slight cracking noise as the branch began to break under her; she jumped up and branch as it fell. Hearing the cracking of the branch Hiei's head shot in that direction as he disappeared and reappeared in font of her making her jump back and stand up on her feet as his katana was to her throat. He glared at her in the eyes, "Spying on me Onna?" He asked seemingly unhappy she was here. She blinked a bit caught off guard by the question. "Calm down." She stated in a somewhat blunt tone, he pushed his katana more to her throat making her gulp a bit but her heartbeat stayed the same. "Why are you out here watching me?" He asked in a serious tone. She had to fight the urge to be a smart ass, "If you must know I haven't been here long at all… but I needed to get out of that place." She groaned a bit and began a small ramble, "Idiots and their games, constant bickering." He smirked at this and pulled his katana away putting back in its sheath. She touched her neck softly and rubbed it a bit before looking at him now.

Jumping back down from the branch to the ground he glanced up at her out of the corner of his eye before looking away and walking to the middle of the open area and sat down randomly. Him doing this made her blink as she became curious as she jumped down slowly, landing on all fours. He smirked for a moment and closed his eyes, relaxing slightly as he sat there though he was breathing a bit heavily from training. She stood up and walked to him before sitting down in front of him. He didn't open his eyes as she sat down and looked at him, her ears twitching a bit. "How do I keep people out of my mind?" She asked now, "Training." He stated in a calm tone. She sighed and looked up at the sky as it was starting to change colors a bit getting darker. "Could you train me…?" She asked, glancing down at him feeling him open his eyes and look at her for a moment. "And why would I do that Onna?" He asked now just being an ass. She sat up straight and looked back down at him, "You tell me." She stated not being in the mood for games.

Hiei let out a 'Hn' again as he looked over at her seeing that she had tons on her mind even though he wasn't listening to her thoughts, he could tell. "Do you have any siblings, Hiei?" She asked out of the blue catching him slightly off guard. She looked down into his eyes, as she wanted to see his reaction. He blinked a bit and looked into her eyes now a bit roughly as if to threaten her, "I'd take that as a yes." She stated as he glared a bit. "Is it the one with the same crimson eyes that are innocent?" She asked talking about Yukina. He glared a bit more at her, "You know I'm not a mind reader but you're not that hard to read." She stated and looked away. "I know just by how you're acting, she doesn't know and you don't want her to." She stated and sighed a bit feeling the daggers from his eyes on her. "Hn." Was a heard in a sharp tone as she looked at him from his response; She smiled a bit, "Why?" She asked as he got up from the ground, "Doesn't concern you." He stated in a bitter tone. "Tell me." She stated in a stern tone making him angry as he brought out his katana and put it against her throat, "Go ahead kill me, but you'll just upset her." He moved down close to her and kept his eyes locked on hers as she kept hers on his now too. She grinned a bit feeling the blade come off her neck, "Everyone has skeletons they don't want found." She stated.

Hiei stared at her for a moment knowing just by peaking in her mind that she wasn't going to drop it. "You saw a bunch of my skeletons." She stated, "Let me see some of yours." She stated and then laughed just slightly, "Or hear as the case maybe." She finished and looked at him waiting for his response. Hiei stared at her for a moment and sat down again in front of her, "Why do you want to know?" he asked, she blinked, "Cause I know enough about the others so far and you're a closed book. And Yukina reminds me of my sister." She whispered out as she frowned a bit. Hiei sighed a bit, "She never needs to know I'm her brother." He said and looked away from her. Nissa tilted her head to the side a bit confused as her pointed ears twitched, "Why?" She asked being nosey and not letting him leave it at that. He closed his eyes and began to explain that he was the forbidden child and about the Koomire Island where he was thrown off the cliff in order to save his sister from being killed also. Listening to him Nissa just took it all in her ears twitching slightly every so often; she noticed something she hadn't before and looked at the gems hanging on a string around his neck. She smiled slightly a bit and pointed to them, "Tear gems?" She asked. He looked to them and put his hand over them before looking back up at her, "The one my mother gave me and the one that Yukina wanted me to give her brother." He stated.

Nissa smiled slightly hearing what he has said and nodded a bit, "Well you have yourself in quite the predicament don't you." She asked rhetorically, Hiei looked at her and blinked a bit but didn't say anything to her about it. "I think she'd be happy either way knowing you were her brother." She stated and closed her eyes a bit, "Though deep inside I'm sure she already knows." She stated making Hiei blink and glare at her at that even thought. "Shut it." He stated bitterly. She opened her eyes and looked at him in a sternway but a little harsh, "Tell me have you beat her? Tried to kill her? Raped her? Sent her to her death?" All this made Hiei seem tense, as he glared at her, "No." He stated in away that made him seem a little childish as he seemed caught. He glared at her daggers again, "And don't ever ask me that again Onna." He said in a mean tone as a warning. Nissa just nodded in agreement, "Either way then you've done nothing bad towards her, what's there not to accept that she doesn't know about?" She asked, stumping him a bit. "Drop it." He growled out in warning knowing this was a losing battle with her. She began to laugh a bit as she waved her hand a bit as if to brush his comment aside, "Alright, but I still think you should tell her before it's too late to." She stated as she stood up now feeling his harsh glare towards her, he went to say something but she waved her hand again, "Don't worry I won't tell her it's not my place to tell someone's secrets let alone when the person should be the one to tell them." She opened her eyes and smiled down at him a bit as he looked at her baffled how she could tell what he was going to say. She giggled a bit at the face, "We should get back though Yukina could be done at any point now." She said as she went to hold out her hand out towards him as if to help him off. She saw it and her eyes got huge; her markings were glowing bright white and not blinking at all now. She leaned back right as something shot past her face and into the tree beside her. She looked at the tree seeing a silver dart thing with purple glowing liquid inside it. Her eyes were large as she looked to Hiei who jumped up seeing it also and pulled out his katana ready to fight.

Nissa and Hiei went back to back as they looked for the enemy that was near by but hiding. Nissa's heart was racing knowing this wasn't good at all as Hiei entered her mind 'Calm yourself Onna and focus!' Hiei drilled into her head making her snap out of it. She leaned back on him pushing him forward as she stepped back as something was thrown at her again. There was a growl and now a laughter that was filled with evil intent. "Come out!" Hiei yelled out to the enemy, as he wanted to see what they were up against. The laughter stopped and there was a chuckle for a moment, "But that would be too easy." The male voice stated in a somewhat high pitch tone. Nissa growled out as she noticed a shine and looked at it from the corner of her eyes as her ears twitched, 'There.' She thought to herself but hoped Hiei was listening which he was causing him to glance and grin slightly. "Guess it's up to us to find you." Nissa stated in a dole tone as she moved slightly again as Hiei disappeared and reappeared in the spot where the 'tracker' was in and kicked it hard causing it to fly out of the tree and to the ground in front of Nissa. Nissa blinked seeing as it was just a small blue skinned boy laid in front of her with premium blonde hair. He looked up at her as if he were going to cry, making her step back now, as his eyes were big and brown. He couldn't have been more then 5 years old he wore a hoodie that was baggy on him and a pair of dark blue baggy shorts. She kept backing up and stared down at him, Hiei could tell something was up with her as he jumped down from the tree and stepped on the kid's back keeping him pinned.

Nissa yelped now as her hair was grabbed and she was slammed into a ground by an invisible force. She was now in a large crater in the ground as she groaned a bit; Hiei's eyes were wide not even expecting that. Her eyes got wide as she felt the back of her shirt being grabbed by a large hand gripping it tightly. She looked behind her not seeing anything as she was picked up a good 20 feet in the air and then slammed back down again. The little boy began to disappear under Hiei's foot causing him to look down at the grinning boy as he literally was gone in seconds. A big cloud of dust came up when Nissa hit the ground a third time, causing Nissa to start coughing, when the dust settled now creaking was heard as the enemy started moving now, Nissa was coughing up blood as she weakly stood up and wiped her mouth on the back of her arm. She growled now as her eyes started having purple electricity running though them as she looked around now quickly. Hiei ran beside her to make sure she was alright enough as he went to defend her if need be.

'There!' her eyes set dead on the body heat signature she could now see, she shivered a bit as the thing stood a good 20 feet tall, was over built, had a tail and seemed horns too; the body heat to her seemed a bright orange while Hiei's was a bright red, she let that slide though as it was unimportant to her at this point as she kept staring at it, it's eyes showed blue though as it confused her being cold while the body was warm. 'This is going to be hell…' she said to herself in her head again as she saw it reach it's hand up and went to swing at them. "Jump!" She yelled out jumping in the air doing a flip; while Hiei jumped also as a bunch of trees were knocked over by the massive hand swinging and hitting them. She landed on the ground next to him, Nissa noted another body on top of the monster, and it was the little boy! Hiei saw the boy floating there and watched carefully. "Alright Bo-bo!" the small boy would yell out. 'Great it's got a name.' She thought as she jumped back as Hiei followed her thinking it would be best to do so as a large hand print was formed where they had been the hand print had to be at least 10 feet from palm to tip of middle finger.

'Bo-bo' didn't have any energy signature while the boy did and it was a massive amount, wouldn't be surprised if the others had sensed it at this point. Hiei and Nissa kept dodging the blows to the ground and Nissa looked up at Bo-bo and jumped up as the hand came down and she landed on it once it hit the ground, now running up it's arm quickly, her fingers growing very long and sharp, her eyes narrowed when she got closer. "AH! Bo-bo! G-get her!" The little boy would squeal out as Bo-bo went to smack his own arm causing her to jump and run up that arm instead. She was up on the shoulders now as she jumped at the kid now and kicked him hard off of the back of Bo-bo causing him to yell out while he was falling. Hiei saw all of this and glared seeing the foot prints now in the ground as he went to run at it; his katana at the ready, "Nooo…." A long drone out deep voice was heard from 'Bo-bo' as he went to catch the young boy but when he did he groaned out in pain and began to fall to one knee. He looked down seeing Hiei had slashed his ankles causing him to groan out a growl with the child in his large hand. Nissa watched him go for the kid and for a moment she stopped attacking sure this was more then just a job for them causing her to frown knowing she was going to have to kill them both.

Bo-bo turned and with his other hand made a fist and brought it down, "HIEI!" Nissa called out causing him to look up at her, as he saw the look on her face he moved back just as the fist came down mere inches from squishing Hiei, the impact on the ground though sent Hiei flying across the forest a little bit as he stabbed his katana into the ground and slowed himself as he pushed off a tree with his feet and launched back towards them. Nissa looked to Bo-bo now as he growled out causing her to growl and show her fangs which had grown long now as she jumped in the air a little too late as Bo-bo smacked her hard sending her into a few trees breaking them. She groaned out as she hit the last tree and slide down to the groaned. "Nissa!" She heard from what seemed to be Yuuske's voice as the others were on their way. Hiei stabbed into Bo-bo's leg deeply causing a massive roar and black blood to ooze out of the unseen Bo-bo. Kuwabara, Yuuske and Kurama began to attack with Hiei, the little boy began to cry a bit causing Kuwabara and Yuuske to get soft and Nissa believed that was the point. She stood up and swayed a bit, how come she always got herself in these messes? She began to ask herself that.

"ONNA!" Hiei yelled at her as Kuwabara got slammed into the ground from jumping in the air. She knew they needed her since they couldn't see 'Bo-bo' other then the blood. She was dizzy and she turned her head and spit out blood and grinned hearing it sizzle now. She began running towards them jumping on the hand Bo-bo had the child in as she glared at the child who glared back at her. She ran up the arm which was followed by Hiei, Kurama had found and ankle and had his rose whip wrapped around it tightly and was pulling along with Yuuske in an attempt to get him to come to their level completely. Nissa sliced her arm on the outside making it bleed, she held it now as the blood dripped, she kept her finger in it so it wouldn't close, this action confused Hiei a bit but he kept running. She got to the shoulder and jumped up and spit blood on Bo-bo's cheek causing him to growl out in pain as the acid from her blood began to sizzle his skin, as she jumped over his head to the other shoulder she slapped his cheek hard as a hand print was seen by her blood sizzled burning his skin worse. Hiei grinned seeing this though she meeped causing him to look feeling the body move under him as Bo-bo went to head butt her. She glared at him as she stuck out her hand and her fingers went long and sharp stabbing him in the eye now causing a great roar from him and him to smack at her, her being in the air she didn't dodge that well as she yelped when she was hit causing her to fall into the ground now and lay there motionless. "NISSA!" Was heard from all of them as they began to fight harder with the help she did give so they could see a bit better, the black blood pouring from Bo-bo's right eye rolled down his body making him even more visible to them.

After what seemed like forever they would take him down causing the little boy to scream out, "B-Bo-bo!" He cried now as black tears began to run down his cheeks as he jumped and landed on the ground, running to the now fallen Bo-bo as they other breathed heavily and were really tired. Yuuske ran to Nissa who wasn't moving as he shook her, "N-Nissa?" He called out. Nissa's ear twitched as a faint beeping sound was heard, she woke up but in a daze as her forehead was bleeding but not sizzling at all. She looked at Yuuske and then looked at the young boy, "I'm fine…" She whispered as her voice cracked a bit. She groaned as she stood up and walked to the young boy; it all made sense now to her but not to any of them as she went to the boy and picked him up in her arms and plopped down on the ground from her legs giving out. The kid looked up at her, as his eyes were innocent now, as he looked terrified. Hiei watched this intensely as he knew the kid was dangerous but she didn't seem to care as she ran her fingers through his hair to calm him. "Why?" He whimpered out, "You and I both know what's going to happen…" She whispered as she looked down at him in a mother like way. "I-I don't wanna die!" He cried out, "N-Not again!" His tears were heavier now as he sobbed into her chest.

"What's going on?" Kuwabara asked; coming back out of his unconscious again he was also bloody, Kurama and Yuuske glanced at him, "Not sure…" Yuuske answered and looked back at them, "The kid thinks he's going to die." He continued and they all looked sad. Nissa ignored them and kept running her fingers through his hair and shut her eyes a bit, "I won't let them take you back…" She whispered making the boy look up at her and smile slightly as he sniffled, "Promise?" He asked seemingly hopeful and Nissa just nodded her head slowly, "Mhmm…" She responded softly causing the boy to smile and close his eyes as he laid his head on her. The beeping got louder and faster and he gripped her shirt tightly as he was scared. She began to hum softly and rock him back and forth trying to keep him calm. The gang didn't know what to do as they just stood there though jumped back as the bloody hand of 'Bo-bo' moved and he became visible, his skin was black and hair was bright purple along with the eye that was left. He held his hand out to Nissa who smiled a bit and nodded standing up and putting the young boy into Bo-bo's hand as he smiled at her. The kid smiled as Bo-bo pulled him up to his face and smiled, the little boy hugged his cheek softly and they both closed their eyes. As the beep became loud she looked at the gang, "Might want to get away." She stated as she jumped back into the trees behind her as the guys blinked and ran away.

There was a loud high pitched beep that lasted a few moments before a large explosion went off shaking the ground as the boy and Bo-bo blew up from their chests. Realizing what happened Kurama came out and looked at Nissa who came down and walked towards the smoldering bodies of the two and smiled sad at them. "If they failed they were set so their heart would explode if even one of them failed." She sighed as she looked at the bodies she noted that they were in still one piece but their chests were wide open and they both were beyond dead and part of Bo-bo's face was blown off from the child's chest bomb. She seemed sad but was smiling at the scene, "What's wrong with her? Is she sick in the head to smile at such a thing?" He whispered to Yuuske, Hiei glanced at him, "Fool." He stated with a glare. Yuuske punched him as Kurama watched this. They all looked to her though as she laughed softly, "I guess I am sick in the head." She stated and jumped up on Bo-bo's back and looked at him now seeing him completely and not sure body heat as her eyes stopped sparking. "Such a happy ending…" She whispered. "Hiei…" She looked at him like she was going to cry hoping he'd understand what she was about to say. She jumped down and stood in front of him her eyes connected with his. "Burn them to ashes please…" She requested, making him blink a bit and nod. The others looked at her and then at Hiei as he walked to the bodies that were just slain by the gang. He would set them on fire as the fire intensified at his will turning them into ashes with in minutes.

Nissa did know that he was a fire demon after his story, Yuuske began to get mad as he spoke out, angry about what had happened, "They seriously are getting away with crap like this!" He was pissed about it all. Nissa looked at him and nodded before she dropped to her knees and began coughing up blood and it started pouring from her mouth as if her blood was creating a small waterfall. "Nissa!" Yuuske and the others ran up to her, Yuuske knelt down and just to have blood spray on his face as she coughed up and started choking a bit. She grabbed her neck and closed her eyes tightly now in pain and slightly scared since she couldn't breathe at all. Kurama looked at Yuuske, "She needs healing!" Though honestly they all did but she didn't have a scratch really on her so she seemed fine until this point. Kurama looked at Hiei, "Take her to Yukina quick!" Hiei nodded and picked her up bridal style again; though she turned her head to the side as she coughed and the blood poured now wanting to get it on him at all. "Come on guys!" She could hear Yuuske yell at the other three as Hiei took off running. Kuwabara didn't move as he noticed something shiny on the tree next to him and blinked seeing it was glowing; he picked it up and ran after the others yelling "Guys wait up!"

"Yukina!" Hiei called out actually sounding worried for Nissa; at least to Nissa but she knew it was probably just her dazed mind playing tricks on her. Nissa looked to see Yukina running towards them completely shocked by all this Nissa's vision began fading along with her hearing. Slowly she went limp in Hiei's arms making him shake her a bit, all she could hear before she was gone was him yelling out "Onna!" sounding completely worried about her as he shook her.
