Chapter 9
*Hiei*
Watching Hinata fighting now was different.
Judging by everyone's expressions in the arena they didn't expect to see that as well.
I was hoping she would get strong as time passed, but this was beyond my expectations.
In reality, I expected her to still show her weaknesses and run up to me smiling with that gentle expression gracing her face.
There was no warmth or kindness radiating from her.
Her face reminded me of a mask because it was unbreakable.
She showed no emotion on her face as she was fighting.
It was like witnessing another person.
Her eyes that were once filled with brightness were now dim and dull with no feeling behind it.
Such coldness reminded me of myself and I didn't know what to think about it.
Getting rid of my inner thoughts was a small feat when I sensed Kuwabara coming near me.
I quickly side stepped him and ignored everyone calling out to me.
The only thing I was worried about was leaving again just so I wouldn't have to face Hinata ever again.
She wasn't my problem and I sure didn't care about her in the slightest.
Whatever happened to her was her problem and not mine, but it seems like fate had other plans for me.
