Ok, this chapter also belongs to Firestorm1991.
waited for him to get to the tree I was "in" and watched as he almost got hit with an anvil I summoned. What? Those are the best weapons in cartoons. Why not in anime? Oh crap…I forgot.
"I love anime!" I reluctantly shouted. Well, that didn't give away my location or anything. Oh well, a dare is a dare, after all. Hiei glared in my direction after dodging the anvil. He used the tree as leverage as he launched himself into my tree. I used the scythe to block his sword and forced him to the right as we fell from the tree. He managed to catch himself, but he used his right hand.
I heard him shout in agony before I stopped trying to escape. I quickly went over to him to look at his arm, but he wouldn't let me see it. He just smacked my hands away. "Yo, bi boy," I snarled, "let me look at it. If you won't allow Yukina to heal you, then let me."
"I don't need you to heal it!" he snapped at me, though more because I was teasing him about his background again. Score one for me.
"Right," I retorted, "because you can just magically ask the dragon to grant you your arm back. Oh wait…I think you need seven balls to make a wish to a dragon." He narrowed his eyes at me, but I ignored it. I was just happy that I could make a Dragon Ball Z reference. He gave me the perfect opportunity.
I studied his injury and decided that there was only one thing I could do. "Hiei, do you trust me?" I asked seriously (I know, shocker, right?).
"Why?" he growled.
"I need to blood bend," I told him. His eyes widened before his face was full of hatred.
"Don't you even think about it," he said darkly.
I just shrugged it off. "Hiei, I need to get the blood moving in your arm to try to shake the paralysis. Then I can work on healing it. But that's all I'm doing. I'm not going to control your movements."
Hiei snatched his arm back from me and cringed. He got his bearings before he stood up and grabbed his sword. "Don't touch me!"
"But Hiei," I moved to try and help him.
"Don't!" Before I knew it, I was hit by his blade in the face. Both of us stared at each other in shock. Hiei had never struck me like that before. I mean sure; we hit each other, punch each other, he flicks me, and we pretty much beat the crap out of each other when we train, but he never once struck me as if I were an enemy. "Melissa," he tried. I just shook my head at him and then took off.
I heard him call my name again, but I ignored him. I felt tears streaming down my face, though I didn't know why. All I knew was it felt like the last time I was betrayed, by my own older sister. He struck me like my bitch mother. No, I couldn't be loyal to another who hurt me. That's just an abusive relationship…I'm sensing a pattern here.
I ended up near a cliff overlooking the ocean, which calmed me down greatly. Maybe if I focused hard enough, I could force the ocean to rain on Hiei. I smirked at the thought. We'd be even then. He hated the water.
"Well, look at who we have here," I heard a voice that I hadn't heard in years. "Hey, you dyed your hair my color."
I growled at the insult and turned to face the bitch that got me into this mess. "Carol…I was hoping I wouldn't see you again for another century or two." Okay, now things just got weirder.
