Experimental Obsessions

Chapter 23

It had been two days later no one had seen Hiei and Nissa had refused to unlock her room or remotely come out, her light was never on and the only noises that were heard was the water in her bathroom running here and there. Kurama was sitting in the comfy chair, Yuuske leaning in the doorway to the living room with his arms crossed and his eyes closed, as he seemed to have something on his mind. Yukina walked in, "She's not answering me…" She said frowning as Gremlin was on her shoulder again. Kuwabara was off visiting his sister, Genkai was gone some where and Keiko went back to her place for now. Yuuske growled out a bit in frustration, "She needs to eat…" Yukina stated and looked down at the floor frowning and looking worried. To be honest they were worried about her as not even Gremlin went into the room, as it was afraid to do so. 'Master is getting stronger again though… but I feel she's weakening at the same time…' Gremlin spoke to Yukina causing her to look to Yuuske and Kurama, "What are we going to do?" She asked. "And where in the world has Hiei been? This is a bunch of crap!" Yuuske questioned out in a pissed off tone some how knowing it was Hiei's fault in someway. Kurama shrugged his shoulders and leaned forward in the chair putting his elbows on his knees as he thought a bit.

He looked to Gremlin and stared at the creature as he was in deep thought trying to figure this all out. "We need to locate Hiei…" He said softly. "And how do you suggest we do that?" Yuuske asked Kurama with a slight glare causing Kurama to sigh out a bit. "Well Yuuske you and I can go out and look for him and Yukina can stay and see if Nissa comes out…" He suggested causing Yuuske to sigh now. "I guess that's a better way to do things then breaking down the door… I tell you short stuff better not get on my nerves." He stated bitterly and closed his eyes. Kurama nodded, "Understandable…" He stated as he stood up and looked to Yukina, "You both up for staying here by yourselves?" Yukina and Gremlin nodded, "Please find him as soon as you can…" She talked softly, "I'm really worried about her." They nodded and would head out of the temple to the forest area and began calling out for him but when that didn't work they would just run in and look for his energy signature at all.

Yukina sighed a bit once they left as she looked to Gremlin before walking to Nissa's bedroom door and tapped on it. "Nissa…?" She called out very softly just to be greeted by silence causing a sigh to come from Yukina. She would stay there and keep trying as long as she could and hoped that the guys could do what they needed quickly as she heard water running again for a while and then silence again. Well at least she knew she was still alive which was a load off her mind for now.

Back with the guys, Kurama and Yuuske were running through the trees looking around for Hiei having no luck at all. Yuuske skidded to a halt as he looked to Kurama who also stopped when Yuuske did, "Where the hell is he!" Yuuske yelled out in frustration as they had been looking for a good 20 minutes now. "Where is who?" A deep voice came from in the trees causing them both to look up and see Hiei. "Hiei!" Yuuske yelled out and jumped up going to punch him, this caught Hiei off guard as it connected with his cheek sending him flying into the ground below. Kurama blinked a bit seeing the dust clear and Yuuske standing at the base of the tree his hands in fists as he looked pissed off more then before. "Now Yuuske calm down." Kurama encouraged as Hiei sat up leaning on his right arm and hand on the ground while he rubbed his cheek softly with his left hand and glared at Yuuske. "And what was that for?" He growled out as he glared daggers at Yuuske now. "What did you do to Nissa!" Yuuske yelled out at Hiei and Kurama caught Hiei have a look of shock on his face for a moment before he glared at Yuuske harder now, "Nothing. Why?" He asked sounding made but behind it all he was worried and Kurama knew it. "Why? Because no matter what we do for the last 2 days she hasn't come out of her damn room and you were the last one to see her!" He yelled out completely pissed now as he stepped forward. Hiei blinked and stood up seemingly confused about something before frowning a bit but hid it shortly after with a smirk, "And why should I care?" He asked just to get a response from Yuuske going to hit him and Kurama went to step forward when they all stopped and looked towards the direction of the temple wide eyed hearing a female screaming and it echoed loudly causing the birds to fly. "Shit!" Yuuske growled out as they all three took off running back to the temple now.

Yukina was back in the temple still outside of Nissa's door as she heard Nissa screaming out and the lights in the place flickering and then going bright before they all blew out from the power surge to them. Yukina look terrified and started pound on the door, "NISSA!" She yelled out at the screaming continued. Gremlin was screaming in pain on the floor as it fell from slapping beside her to a puddle of kicking goo on the ground in pain. Gremlin groaned out as it crawled under the door and stretched unlocking the door from the inside before falling back on the ground convulsing as Yukina opened the door quickly and ran into the room and screamed as she made her way into the bathroom. The room had black tear gems by the window where Nissa had been crying before and a few on the bed and were Gremlin had been but were rolling since the door opened and pushed them.

Yukina just stood in horror as she stared into the bathroom seeing inside the bath tub was Nissa and she was be electrocuted as golden and violet colored electricity came from her body and hit the water making her scream in pain as she was gripping the side of the tub hard and black tears ran down her cheeks. There was water on the floor from her body slamming around; Yukina had tears building up in her eyes as she covered her face as she knew she couldn't do anything. Nissa suddenly stopped screaming and the electricity coming from her body suddenly stopped as the guys ran in, "Yukina! Nissa!" They each yelled out running towards Nissa's room seeing the door open. Hiei was the first in there as he felt his heart drop seeing Nissa's body falling into the water and it seemed there was no life when she did. Yuuske came in and his eyes got huge, "Nissa!" He yelled out as he went to run forward and pull her out but got shocked from there being a spark in her still and the water not helping. The shock made Nissa's body take in water to her lungs. Yukina moved to the side seeing him flying across the room making her start shaking as she held back tears. Kurama looked down between his feet seeing Gremlin as just a blob that wasn't moving at all as he picked up the creature now.

Hiei walked into the bathroom with a sad look on his face, as he knew this was his fault but he was also angered that she would do this. He frown and glared at the water as he looked determined now seeing the sparks on the water top here and there but quickly knelt down and reached into the water as he growled out and bit his bottom lip as he began getting the jolts of electricity now as he reached down and wrapped his arms around Nissa's naked body and yelled out as he was in pain from the jolts intensifying as he yanked her out of the water to the bathroom floor, as he groaned a bit he laid her on the floor as her skin felt cold to the touch and she wasn't breathing at all. "Damn it…" He growled at himself softly so that he could hear as he saw Kurama come in and check her pulse, "Need to get her breathing." He stated as he moved but Hiei pushed him back as he started compressions for CPR followed by his lips pushing on hers softly as he breathed into her then back to the compressions. After 30 seconds he was getting a bit scared and frustrated as it showed, "Come on Onna!" He yelled out as Kurama frowned a bit as he breathed into her again and continued what he was doing. Yukina began crying forming her own tear gems as she ran out of the room upset, Yuuske was still out from the shock but he was breathing. Kurama had set down Gremlin on the floor beside him as he watched them both. "Hiei…" Kurama started just to be glared out by Hiei as he tried harder then before on the compressions, "Onna…!" Hiei yelled out again as he was doing compressions on her lifeless body.

A few minutes passed and Kurama reached over and touched Hiei's shoulder, "Don't touch me fox!" Hiei yelled at him and growled as he breathed into her again. "Hiei… She's gone." Kurama gasped as his throat was grabbed as Hiei glared into his eyes, "Shut it fox!" He growled out in a dangerous tone before dropping Kurama the little bit that he was picked up. Hiei breathed softly into her again, "Nissa…" Hiei whispered, as he was actually really upset with himself as he bit his bottom lip giving her compressions as he stopped and breathed into her. Kurama blinked a bit seeing Gremlin coming back into its previous form slowly and seeing this Kurama looked back to Hiei who was glowing a dark purple but it was faint as he breathed into Nissa giving her air. After a moment of seeing this Hiei pulled back as Nissa's eyes shot open and she began coughing up water. Hiei smiled seeing this as he sighed out in relief as he turned her quickly so she didn't choke on the water as she coughed it up. She had her eyes closed tightly as she groaned a bit as she breathed heavily her tail was gone it seemed and her ears were normal again. Hiei kept smiling and Kurama grinned seeing this but it turned to a nice smile when he looked to Nissa happy she was alive as Gremlin awoke slowly and looked around its little wings flapping like crazy trying to sit up now.

Nissa would be coughing for a few minutes as Hiei rubbed her back softly knowing it wasn't fun to cough up liquid at all. "How are you doing Nissa?" Kurama asked but was looked at by Hiei who didn't seem happy that he talked as his smile disappeared and Nissa kept her eyes closed tightly as she coughed out and growled a bit, "How… the… HELL… do you… think I am…?" She hissed out between coughing. Kurama chuckled softly at the reaction, "That was a stupid question wasn't it." He stated and stood up. "I'm going to go tell Yukina you're alright…" He stated softly as he stood up and walked out of the room to find Yukina but picked up Gremlin and took it with him to show Yukina that they would be fine. A stir was heard in Kurama's room and movement on the bed but no one would be paying attention to that as the door cracked open slowly revealing 9054 who looked around the hallway in confusion but also looked scared as she had awoke to screaming and what not. She saw that the door was open and Yuuske was out causing her to run in and kneel beside Yuuske, as she wanted to make sure he was all right.

Nissa coughed again causing 9054 to look over and blush seeing that Nissa was naked and caused her to run out of the room and hid in the hallway as she eavesdropped on the two that were in the bathroom. "Onna…" Hiei whispered softly and went to touch her shoulder causing her to snarl and cough as she moved away from him and glared, pushing her back to the wall opposite from where he was, as she seemed bitter towards him. Her cheeks turned just a slight dark purple color seeing emotion on his face that made her confused. Hiei looked a little shocked by her reaction as he stared at her face before looking down at the ground and turned his head to the side and sighed a bit as he stretched out a leg and pulled one up as he bent it and rested an arm off it. He looked into the bathtub seeing a pitch-black tear gem as he reached into the water with his free hand and grabbed it and pulled it out and looked into it and frowned a bit. "What… are you doing?" She asked now though her voice was raspy. He looked into the tear gem more as he saw little lightning marks inside it as it seemed like it was cracking. He heard her and spoke up now in a normal tone for him, "You really are troublesome aren't you…?" He asked with no emotion on his face as he still stared into the tear gem now.

Nissa growled out softly as she glared at him and coughed a bit, "I didn't ask you to save me. I'm just a problem to you anyways!" She hissed out and he looked at her and seemed a bit hurt but hid it as he looked to the side and frowned a bit. "That doesn't mean kill yourself." He whispered now looking down at the floor. Nissa blinked as she was taken back by how he was acting as she just stared at him now and tilted her head to the side. "Watch it, it almost sounds like you care." She teased in a mean way as he glared at her and moved over to her on his knees and glared into her eyes, hurt behind them as he looked into her eyes like that her heart started pumping hard and fast, as she blushed a bit, "I do care." He suddenly stated in a soft yet deep voice as he pressed his lips up against her softly and deeply. Nissa was caught off guard as she closed her eyes and kissed him back softly as her arms snaked around his shoulders and around the back of his neck loosely. Nissa arched her back forward as Hiei wrapped one arm around her and put his hand in the middle of her back pulling her closer as he pushed forward making the kiss more deep and passionate.

After a few minutes of this they would quickly pull away from each other's face as they looked out the bathroom door to Yuuske who was grinning a bit, "Get a room you two!" He called out and a small heavy but short breathing was heard as 9054 was snickering without making any sounds other then breathing out in the hallway. Yuuske looked over at her and smiled, "Look who's finally up." He teased. Hiei was a bright red while Nissa was glowing bright purple as they were blushing from what Yuuske saw. Nissa reached up and grabbed the towel that was on the rack and covered her body quickly feeling awkward knowing that her cousin could see her naked along with 9054 though she was sure it wasn't the first naked person she had seen. She looked up at Hiei their eyes connecting as she looked away quickly and blushed more. Yuuske was still grinning as 9054 hid still but smiled brightly at them both liking what she saw as she thought it was romantic. Yuuske looked to them and smiled, "Glad you two are on talking… ermm… well I think talking terms now." He stated and chuckled as he scratched at the back of his head and winced as it hurt. He blinked looking at his hand that had blood on it now. "Oh God that's going to hurt in the morning." Nissa put her hand on Hiei's chest causing Hiei to blink and look down at her as he moved back and let her get up with a bit of help from him as she was wobbly a bit at first. She wrapped the towel completely around her now as she walked to Yuuske, "You should really be more careful." She stated as she moved her finger in a circle motion telling him to turn around. Yuuske rolled his eyes as he turned around, "It's your fault." He stated making her blind and smile sadly, "Hehe… Sorry then… Don't tell Keiko though I really don't want to deal with that shit again." She stated in a calm somewhat upset tone causing him to glance back at her before looking back forward as she knelt down and ran her fingers through his hair trying to find the gash where the blood was coming from. "I won't." He stated.

9054 look inside seeing Nissa find the gash making her go a bit pale as she closed her eyes feeling slightly sick. Nissa glanced over at the girl and laughed softly as she shook her head, "You know you don't have to hide out there." She stated, the girl nodded a bit as she crawled into the room to beside Nissa and her nails on her hand began glowing a bright light blue causing Nissa, Hiei and even 9054 to look down at her hands. The young girl tilted her head to the side as she held up her hands up staring at them; Yuuske felt that Nissa had stopped moving and turned his head around, "What?" He went to ask as he saw the glowing. Hiei finally stood up and walked out of Nissa's bathroom with his arms crossed, "She's still coming into her abilities." Nissa stated and closed her eyes now. They all looked to Nissa as 9054 glanced from Nissa to her hands a few times back and forth. Nissa closed her eyes and shook her head a bit, "Nothing bad Angel." She stated causing 9054 to blush a bit and nod knowing she was talking to her and her wings fluttered happily that she had a name to go by now. 9054 who was now going to go by Angel smiled and touched Yuuske's shoulder as the glow went from her nails and traveled up his body to his head as the wound glew brightly before healing in moment. Yuuske winced at first but smiled at Angel now as he began to speak, "Nice job Kiddo." His words made her smile and her wings flutter happily.

Nissa stood up and took a step back as her head was still spinning and what not but then noticed the lights were out in the place and sighed a bit, "What is it?" Hiei asked, "Blew the lights…" Is all Nissa stated before Yuuske got up and helped Angel to her feet and he started laughing, "Yeah the old hag isn't going to be happy about that." He stated and Nissa opened her eyes that were already dead set on him with a glare as if to tell him to shut up or else. Yuuske saw this as he shivered and turned pale as she closed her eyes, "Hiei… can I borrow more clothing please…" She whispered out as she held to towel from falling off her naked body. Hiei nodded, "Sure…" He disappeared but they all knew where he was heading as she waited but opened her eyes seeing Kurama and Yukina standing in the doorway as Gremlin was laying in Kurama's hands. Yukina's smiling face turned a little dark and the room went cold as it looked at if she had been crying. Seeing this Nissa frowned as she stepped back feeling her demon energy rise as did the others as she walked over to Nissa and something happened that no one saw coming from the innocent girl as she slapped Nissa hard across the face. Nissa's head was to the side now as she touched her cheek that was freezing cold now and stinging as her eyes were huge, along with Yuuske and Kurama as they were shocked.

Nissa's cheek was an instant dark purple in the shape of Yukina's palm as she turned her head back to look at her as she noticed that Yukina was going to start crying. "I-…" She was cut off as Yukina suddenly wrapped her arms around Nissa and hugged her tightly catching Nissa off guard but she looked at Yuuske who was raising an eyebrow then to Kurama who was chuckling and smiling. Angel looked a little confused but looked like she was giggling even though no sound came out. "I'm sorry…" Yukina whispered as she hugged her causing Nissa to smile a bit and hug her back slowly, "No I'm sorry…" She whispered back now, "You had every right to hit me after what you saw." Nissa hugged her but stopped when Yukina pulled away and sniffled a bit. Nissa had seen the glimpse of Yukina in the room before she had died again. "I didn't mean to upset you or anyone." She smiled at Yukina who smiled back. "We care about you Nissa." Kurama spoke making Yuuske nod along with Yukina and Angel in agreement. Nissa looked confused for a bit as she slowly smiled though Hiei appeared and blinked at the scene in front of him as he noticed his sister was going to cry but was smiling while Nissa was smiling and her cheek had a hand print across it, what in the world did he miss?
