RECAPE: Desera was about to be executed for her and her sisters crime that she claimed to protect her sister.
"Please stop!" I could hear her voice so broken and filled with concern. This will be my last time hearing it.
"What is it little girl?" It wasn't just me that heard the voice that means she really was here. My eyes flew open and my head wiped around to see her running as fast as she could. She throw her body over mine and blocked the person that was about to kill me.
"Just join the team please. I was able to convince Koenma to spare your life so long as you join the team. Please join the team, not for your life but for me." She was crying, for me. No one had ever cried for me and I know she is my sister and cares but I never wanted her to cry. I had promised myself I wouldn't make her cry but now I'm the cause for those tears.
"I will," I tell her with a slight smile as she pulls me into a hug and I rest my head on her chest.
You're the only one that can affect me like this Karen, I think as I just enjoy the feel of knowing I can still be there to protect her- my soul purpose of being alive.
"I hate to interrupt this love fest here but am I killing someone or not?" I look up and glare at Taiki.
"I'm so sorry to rain on your stupid self conceited party but you're an ass, so go." I glared at Taiki and he backs away slightly, scared that I might bit his head off.
"I see your sister got to you just in time. So Desera are you going to join the team?"
"For Karen."
"Alright, now because of your track recorded I am required to put this bracelet on you." I extend my arm for Koenma as he puts a simple bracelet around my wrist. "Now Desera just as a fair warning I can drain you dry if you step out of line, I can track your ever move, and if it comes to it I can kill you with the push of a button." I simply nod my head as I stand up from my spot by the red stinted stone and look at Koenma with a blank face.
"I accept these conditions on one of my own." Koenma looks at me with a raised brow. "My sister does not go on any missions higher than B- rank."
"I don't see how you're in the position to make any agreements with me but I accept." I nodded my head and Koenma pushes a button that appeared in thin air. A portal suddenly appeared in front of me and I stepped through with the others following suit.
"She joined!" the blue girl haired that was in the office earlier yelled as she ran towards me with her arms stretched out.
"Hug me I kill you, again." I say with my finger put up. She stops mid run and looks at me like a hurt animal.
"It doesn't work when they do it; there is no way in hell it'll work when you do it." Her face falls back to normal, which for her means a grin.
"Let me show you two your room! You'll be so excited! They are customized just for you!" I turn and look at my sister, making eye contact for a split second.
"Let's go Miss Happy."
"Ok," she says linking arms with me and my sister as she dragged us upstairs.
"So this room is mine, that is Yukina's the other blue haired girl you saw, that's Kuwabara's, that's Keiko's, that's Yusuke's, that's yours Karen, that's Kurama's, that one is Heie's, and lastly across from Hiei's is yours Desera." She listed ever room from my left then right then back to left as we pasted them, stopping at mine. "Ok open the door Desera.
Every door was a different color; Botan's pink, Yukina's ice blue, Kuwabara's orange, Keiko's blue , Yusuke's green, my sisters pure white, Kurama's red, Hiei's dark blue-ish purple, and mine was midnight black.
When I opened my door the first thing I saw was black everything. My room was a simple design that consisted of a black bed, dresser, curtains, and not a single shred of color or light.
"I like it," I say nodding my head approvingly as Boton and my sister look taken back by this approval and darkness.
"But it's so-"Boton was cut off mid sentence as my sister stopped her and butted in.
"It's perfect for you Desera." She smiled at me then turned towards Botan and shoots her a look that she thinks I didn't catch.
"Why don't we see what your room looks like?" I ask Karen.
"That sounds like fun!" I fallow in tow bring up the back as the two happy bunch skip ahead of me to Karen's room.
Her room was the complete opposite of my room. Karen's was full of light and bright colors, just looking at it gave me a headache but Karen loved it, which was all I cared about.
"Oh my god! I love it!" She squealed as Boton and Karen hugged each other in glee of how the room looked, but I quickly became disgusted with the sight before me and walked away to my room.
"I will never understand her. The emotion and happiness she feels makes me feel disgusted and sick to my stomach. "I complained in bitterness as I sat down on my bed and looked around myself. I couldn't think of a single person I know that would be able to see in here other than me, but the darkness gave me peace at mind. The darkness was my time of rain and when I felt at most home.
"You don't seem to be happy to be alive." I hear Hiei's voice, pulling me from my peace.
"Why would I?" I ask turning my attention to the demon that stood a few feet away from me.
"You can continue to protect your sister, but I don't understand why you would ever throw your life away so easily for anyone. You don't seem to like or care about anyone, or so you make it out like." I think this was the most I have ever heard Hiei speak. He seemed like the type of person that preferred to stay to himself.
"I don't care about anyone!" I snapped at him with a flash of anger. "If you become mistaken again it will cost you your life Forbidden Child." I could see a hint of touchiness at the mention of his title.
"Aren't you forbidden yourself?" he asked with a smirk.
"Don't you dare bring up my parents!" I snarled at him.
"Why?" He snapped at me.
"Because you know nothing of them and you nothing of the life they put us through! Once you know the subject you're going into then, and only then, can you talk about it!" I hated when my parents were brought up, even by Karen. I would never defend them, but I hated how people would treat us just because of who my parents really were. It was because of my parents that I became the way I am.
"Hn." Hiei turned around and began to walk out without a word and I didn't bother to stop him.
"Desera are you going to join us for dinner?" Botan asked, just barely missing Hiei walking out. "Kurama's cooking," she offered trying to persuade me.
"Sure," I say standing up from my spot on my bed.
I walk downstairs in silence with Botan. She seemed somewhat uncomfortable in the silence so it didn't surprise me when she jumped at the chance to join everyone else at the dinner table. I sat down myself next to Karen and Yusuke at the table.
"Enjoy," Kurama said as he sat down a big bowl of pasta. My face fell almost instantly as I looked at it. No one else seemed to have a problem, even my sister enjoyed it. I sat there politely as I watched everyone dig into the food.
"Is something wrong with the food?" Kurama asked as he looked at me.
"She doesn't eat human food, even when we lived with our human mother she refused to eat it. She would worry Mother so much." Karen answered for me.
"She wasn't our mother!" I snap at Karen causing the whole table to look at me in shock. "That woman was just someone who pitied us enough to take us in!"
"She gave us a name and a place to stay Desera, that woman as you put it gave us life here."
"I won't argue with you here Karen." I say standing up and heading to the back door.
"Where are you going?" My sister called frantically after me.
"To get my dinner," I tell her coldly. I closed the door softly behind me before taking off into the forest that surrounded the house.
I ran for a little while just run and ignored all of the potential meals. I wanted to just run and enjoy the darkness around me and the feel of the wind. It wasn't until I saw the black bear wondering that I stopped behind a few bushes that I bared my fangs in delight. I watched it behind a bush that covered me from its sight. As I readied myself to pounce I stopped, the black bare had two little cubs not even a year old. I righted myself up, no longer craving to kill it, and took off in a different direction, settling for a few easy kill dears instead.
"It looks like you still have a bit of left over." Yusuke commented as I walked in through the back door. I liked the corner of my lip where Yusuke was suggesting and I could taste the sweet, tangy flavor of blood.
"Thnx," I said as I began to head upstairs.
"Desera why don't you join us for some T.V.?" Botan offered, but I just turned my head and shook it slightly.
"I don't watch TV," I told them and continued on my way.
"You don't seem to do much of anything," Kuwabara mumbled.
"What do you mean by that?" I glowed as I whorled around on him.
"Just that you never seemed to do anything that we do." He studded and shuttered under my gaze.
"Why would I ever want to do something that an inferior race would find fun?" My disgust with them was made clear I could see the sweat coming off of everyone as I snarled.
"Back off." Hiei spoke from his place on the window sill.
"And what are you going to do if I don't?" I asked turning my gaze to Hiei. He seemed unaffected by it, even my sister coward down when I glared at her, but not Hiei and it infuriated me that much more.
Why will he not subside?I asked myself as I watched Hiei stand up from his spot.
"I hate the ino as much as you, but stand down." Hiei said trying to declare his dominance in the house, but I refuse to bow down to anyone.
"No," I spoke clearly and defiantly.
"Fine," Hiei said as he pulled out his sword and pushed me towards the wall that we stood only a few feet away. If it wasn't for my quick reflexes he would have gad me pinned, but I summoned my sword and pulled it out before my back hit the wall.
Hiei glared at me as we pushed with brute strength. Neither one of us were going to give in to the other. We stood there for a few minutes, neither one of us making progress, and no one dared to interrupt us. It wasn't until I felt my strength waver did I notice my bracelet glowing a bright yellow.
I can drain you dry if you step out of line, Koenma's words play in my head as my strength wavers again.
"Dam it Keonma," I curse as Hiei knocks my sword out of my hand and puts the edge of his to my throat.
"Do it," I tell him. "You won, so do it."
"No," He says as he re sheaths his sword.
"Why?" I ask as my knees give out and more of my strength wavers.
"Because it wasn't a fair fight." I look up at him, could this really be the Hiei that is known as the forbidden child?
I nod my head than force myself up to a standing position. My legs wobbled under neither me, but with patients I made my way back up to my room. I sat in my room looking out the window listening to the steady sound of pitter patter of the rain. There was something about this type of weather that pulled me outside. The calming therapy of rain seemed to just wash everything away. The water wetness of the rain felt so nice against my skin. I loved the rain, but I'm not sure if I can go outside.
I don't trust them with my sister. It was stupid of me to leave yesterday to go hunting. I was angry with myself for going yesterday but it was tempting to go out right now.
"Go, I know you want to." I turned my head towards my sister standing in the door way covered up in her robe.
"You know I can't." I tell her as I turn my head back to the window, watching the rain fall.
"I can sense your distress and you know I hate that." I open my moth to tell her that I can't, but she cuts me off before I can even begin.
"I can handle myself. I'm not completely helpless."
"I know," I sigh. "But you also know that I'm the one that protects us. I don't want you to be the one in the blood bath."
"That's true," she says as she joins me on the window seal, "but how can you protect me forever? And these guys won't hurt me, they're too afraid of what you'll do to me if they do and they like me. They are really nice people if you let them in."
"And you know I can't do that. I'm just waiting for my chance to pack both you and me up so we can leave. We can't stay grounding for too long or they'll catch us. It's not safe, even here." I tell her without ever looking at her. This wasn't the first time we had this talk.
"I know," she says nodding her head lightly. "I just wish we could settle down for once. I think you and Hiei could become really good friends." I laugh.
"Ha, what makes you think that, because we tried to kill each other yesterday when I got back?"
"Yes but mainly because what I've been told he's the forbidden child." I keep my calm face on the outside, but inside I was shocked that she knew what that meant.
I had been told stories of the forbidden child, but never told her about them. The forbidden child was a child that was never supposed to be born, like us. He was supposed to have died when he was thrown off the cliff the day he was born, but somehow he survived and grew up as a bandit. One day they turned against him because he became too strong, but he killed them and survived. For a while he was wanted for a rare tear crystal that was around his neck, but then he disappeared. There were rumors of him joining the spirit detective team, but I didn't really look into that because they were only rumors with nothing to back them up.
"Go out into the rain, I'll e fine," my sister says smiling at me. I nod my head and begin to leave.
"I don't need your promotion to do what I want," I tell her as I leave my room.
"I know," she says with that smile of hers in her voice. I smirk as I head down stairs and out into the rain.
"Ah, this is so nice," I sigh as I stood on the outskirts of the forest.
"So this is the real you," someone says from behind me. I whip around to see Hiei standing behind me.
"No this is the me that doesn't show to anyone." I tell him as I turn around and begin to walk into the forest, away from him.
"So the real you," he says trying to prove his point, but I just ignore him.
"I looked up your parents," he said smugly. I turned around with a scowl on my face.
"Fine," I say walking in deeper into the forest, knowing he would follow me.
I stopped in a clearing by a water fall that leads into a lake. I sat down with my feet dangling in the water and face up towards the sky to feel the rain sliding down my face.
"So what did you find out?" I ask with a sigh.
"Your parents were famous bandits wanted by the spirit world king and by all three kingdoms of the Makai realm. They had been partners for over a century before having you and your sister. One day they were killed by a group of demons, but you and your sister had lived."
"Do you know why my sister and how old we were?" I ask, cutting him off while still looking up at the sky.
"It doesn't say." I nod my head.
"Doesn't surprise me. My sister and I were only three months old. At the time I had been the happy one and here the quiet one, our parents thought she would be the Darkness twin and I the Light twin so they trained her and not me how to kill. It didn't turn out that way that day; I killed all of the demons to protect her. When one of the demons tried to touch her… something snapped in me and I suddenly had a blood lust for that mans blood; like the way he looked at her with disgust but worse. After I killed all of the men attacking my parents it was too late to save them, not that I really cared anyways but my sister cared. From that day forth I protected my sister and fought every demon that stood in our path and every demon sent to kill us by the demon lords because they were afraid of us." I laughed harshly, "The demon lords scared of a couple of toddlers. Can you imagine that?" I ask Hiei as I turned my head to look at him then back up to the rain. "When it became too dangerous for Karin to live in the Makai realm I took her and fled to the human world. That was at the age of ten that I came here, we had no names or a place to stay."
"Weren't you given names by your parents?" Hiei asked. I shook my head.
"No, our parents simply called us by mistake one and mistake two," I told him with two tears sliding down my face, but he could not tell as the tears mingled with the rain.
"Why are you telling me this?" Hiei asked as he sat down next to me.
"I don't know, but you went through the trouble of trying to find out."
"You said you would never defend your parents, why?"
"Why should I defend parents that I wish I killed myself? I will never allow someone to combine me with them again. It is because of them that my life is what it has become! They are the reason my sister and I are wanted dead from the day I was born! I was wanted dead because they were afraid that I would follow in their footsteps." Hiei looked at me and I sighed.
"Last night-"
"Hm?" I ask turning to look at him.
"Last night I followed you when you went hunting."
"I thought I sensed someone," I say smirking
"You were going to kill that bear for your dinner, but you stopped last minute and settled for dears instead, why?"
"Just because I told you a bit about my life Hiei does not mean I'm going to tell you everything," I say standing up and walking away.
I smirk to myself as I walk through the forest. He's not so bad. I think I might like to get to know him better, but I'll still have to keep him at arm's length so I can bolt at a moment's notice with my sister. The first chance I get I'm leaving this place and have to put everyone past me I can't let Hiei in, even if I do find myself liking him.
I wonder what he thinks of my past. Most of the things I just told him aren't in any files that can be found. My sister and I had dropped off the face of the planet, all except for a crime here and there, but no one knew where we were after pulling off the thefts.
"Desera How was your walk?" My sister asked as soon as I walked through the door.
"I'm going for a shower," I tell her not bothering to answer her as I head upstairs dripping wet.
"It's nice to see that you enjoyed yourself," Kurama said as he walked past me on the stairs.
"What would give you that idea?" I ask sending him a glare.
"You're dripping wet and your sister said you left at four in the morning and it's now eight in the morning."
"Hn," I say as I walk to my bedroom.
"Dam it Karen," I grumble as I head to my shower, "Can't you ever mind your own business?"
I stepped into the hot steaming water and felt the sting off its warmth compared to my freezing body. It felt nice as the warmth sunk into my body and warmed it. I loved the feel of warmth when everything around me was cold or dark. I always found myself attracted to warm things, which most would think was wrong for the twin of darkness and night because the night it always colder than day which consisted of warmth, but I did.
"No I wouldn't go in there when she's taking a shower!" I hear my sister scream to someone as my door was opened.
"I'm just telling her that breakfast is done." I hear Yusuke tell my sister.
"You don't understand, you-"
"Can't I take my god dam shower in peace?" I snap as I walk out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped round my chest coming down to my upper thigh.
"Ku-Kur-Kurama sent me." He stuttered and I narrowed my glare.
"So that gives you the right to burst into my room, with my sister telling you not to, and interrupt me when I'm in the shower?" I yell at him.
"Desera the shadows," my sister warned.
"No, maybe I should. I won't kill him but I'll teach him the same lesson that I taught the last person who thought that was ok." I step forward and begin to feel the draining the Keonma had warned me about, but this move was so simple that it was beyond beginner.
"Mind," I whisper quietly and I feel my mind slip into Yusuke's, "Nightmare."
"Nooo, don't go! You can't die on me Keiko!" I smirk as I watch Yusuke begin to cry, crumpled on the floor as he screamed.
For every person the nightmare was different because different things affect different people. Yusuke right now was watch as every person that meant anything to him die as he stood covered in blood because he, in his mind, had killed all of them.
"Yusuke what's wrong?" I look up with my smirk and see the group run into the room, but I quickly dismissed them and go back to watching my fun.
"Desera what are you doing to Yusuke?" Keiko demanded.
"What would give you the idea that I have anything to do with it?" I ask her making it obvious that it was me doing this.
"Desera stop it! You're hurting him!" My sister cried as she tried to dispel my darkness covering Yusuke.
"Give me one good reason," I say crossing my arms. "You know as well as I do that he needs to be taught a lesson for barging in, knowing full well that I was in the shower and only wanted to peak on me. Not only that but you yourself warned him not disturb me, but he didn't listen."
"Because I'm begging you!" I looked at my sister and felt myself waver by the tears in her eyes.
"Hn, he's not worth my energy." I motion for the darkness to vanish and walk to the bathroom to get changed. When I walk back out I see everyone, but Hiei, crouched down beside a sweat covered, hysterical Yusuke.
"It disgusts me how much they care for each other," I mumble as I walk past Hiei.
"I'm surprised you were able to do that so drained."
"It's a basic move for the darkness twins, you are taught that move from the age of one as a torture method."
"Who taught you?" Hiei asked.
"The Darkness Goddess herself," I told him. I watched his expression with a smirk, his face was clam and controlled but his eyes widened slightly giving away his shock. "The Yin and Yang Twins are not taught by normal light or dark users so the Goddess that clams us is in charge of teaching us how to use our powers." Hiei walks beside me in silence as we go to down stairs.
"You should try and eat something," my sister says as I look at the food in front of me.
"I'm not hungry," I tell her disgusted with the thing the humans call food.
"Grow up Desera and eat the human food! You have been living the human world for eight years now and still refuse to eat their food!" I looked at my sister in shock. She never raises her voice, unless;
"Karen did you take some of the darkness from Yusuke?" I asked trying to hide the panic in my voice as I stand up from my chair.
"What does it matter to you?" She demanded sound so much unlike my sister and more… like me.
"Karen, come here."
"Fuck you!"
"Karen please come here."
"No!"
"Dam it Karen I'm trying to give you a choice in the matter now get your ass over here or I'm going over to you and you dam well as hell won't like it!"
"Make me bitch!" I growl at her as I raise my hand up to pin her in place with shadows.
"Ha, do you really think that will work on me, sis? I'm not some pathetic little girl!"
"No, you're not." I tell her as I grab my sword and dash towards her.
Karen pulls out her sword from thin air and collides with my sword. We growl at each other as we begin to match strength with strength. While I've always been the stronger of the two I could feel the side effect of Koenma's stupid charm.
"Go on Desera, pull that stupid trick of yours on me." My sister says with a smirk as she challenged me.
"Go to hell Karen. I'll die before I use that on you." I say tripping her, but she rolls back up before she hits the floor.
"Is that all you have? What happened to the great Twin of Darkness who killed an army of kingdom soldiers without batting an eye?"
"She's right here," I tell her as I open a world of darkness around us. No one would ever be able to see a thing, unless you were a true creature of the night.
"This pathetic move, this is preschool tricks, don't you think? Do you have anything more exciting?"
"A creature of the day would never be able to see in this." I tell her as I move around freely in the darkness, keeping an eye on her. I didn't want to take the chance of her pulling the darkness inside herself again, the slightest darkness in someone as acceptable as her could change her completely.
She chuckling lowly then broke out into a full blown laugh.
"You think I can't just adsorb this all? Better off I should show you how pathetic this is." Sudden pain exploded in my arm but I knew that she hadn't moved from her spot.
The smell of blood engulfed my senses; it smelt so good.
"Oh, do I miss this sent," I say closing my eyes and dismissing the darkness. "Maybe there are some good things with holding back in a fight." I look down at the cut mark on my arm; blood slid down my arm steadily and dripped to the floor. I brought my arm up to my lips and licked it slowly. It tasted so good; salty but delectable.
"You're sick," my sister snarled at me.
"No honey that is where you are wrong. This is just in a demons nature and if I hadn't sheltered you for so wrong you would understand the love in the taste of blood. Ask any demon that knows what's like to crave blood and they will tell you the same thing."
"You make me sick." I smirk at her.
"It's only the darkness in you speaking." I tell her as I turn my attention to her shadow.
"Pin," I whisper bellow even a wolf's hearing ability.
"I'm going to kill you!" She rushes towards me with her sword posed to kill me, but I just stand there. I didn't comprehend how she was breaking through it, but I knew she was struggling to move at all. I wasn't afraid to have her stab me, and I let her- right through the gut.
"Si- sister?" She stammered unsure what just happened as I lay on the floor with her tackled on top of me, sword ran through.
"Good to have you back," I say smiling slightly, blood trickling down from the corner of my mouth.
"Wh-what happened?"
"Just stay still for a moment," I tell her as I bring my index and forefinger to the center of her forehead. She closes her eyes silently as I drain the darkness from her.
"Kurama," I call.
"Y- Yes Desera?" He asks pulling himself from a daze.
"Take Karen to the infirmary, will you?" I ask as Karen gets off of me.
"Yes," he says leading her away from me as I push myself up.
"Desera, please, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you!"
"I know Karen," I say as I pull myself up into a standing position.
It hurt. My gut wouldn't stop bleeding, she had stabbed me clear through. I had let her hit me without damaging any major organs, but it still hurt. I hadn't been injured this badly in over a decade. I had grown so used to not being able to get injured that this sudden amount of pain hurt. I felt so weak; as a person and physical, but I wouldn't show that to anyone as I made my way up to my room.
"Desear, wait! You need medical care!" Botan cried from behind me.
"I'm fine," I lie.
"But you're hurt!"
"I am fine."
"But-"
"Leave me alone!" I yell throwing a wave of darkness wildly.
I need to keep my anger in check. If I don't I might burn the place down. I think weakly as I collapse on my bed.
"I- can- barely- breath." I pant as I close my eyes. "Ehe!" I complain at the sudden lash of pain.
"Why did you let her stab you?" Hiei demanded as entered my room.
"What does it matter?" I ask between pants.
"It doesn't I just want to know."
"To bring her back to her senses. She's so venerable to the slightest amount of darkness that puts us out of balance. My sister and I are the walking Ying and Yang twins, two parts of one whole. Without balance we can't function correctly because we hold only a trace of the other. My sister's darkness in her life is her willingness to sacrifice herself for me, because suicide is considered a sin."
"And your light is your care towards your sister."
"No," I tell him shaking my head lightly. "When I was younger, and Karen first absorbed some of my darkness, I was about to kill her before I took the darkness out of her. I almost did kill her too."
"You didn't know how to retract it at the time?" he asked me a question, but it came out more as a statement.
"No, but I was going to kill her without hesitation."
"Hiei?" I ask in a pant.
"Hn?" He asks as his way of replying.
"Can I take some of your darkness? It won't affect you but it will heal me." He nodded his head as he made his way across the room to sit down next to me.
I pushed myself up with my hand on my wound and brought my index finger and pointer finger to Hiei's forehead, much like I had with my sister. I closed my eyes and let myself to slip into Hiei's soul.
What is this?I knew that Hiei was not talking out loud but when two souls were combined together like this then one's thought is considered the other's thought. Two people were now one and the two were completely exposed to the other. This move took so much trust that I never preformed it before.
It's my soul. I'm in yours as well. I could feel him stifle at this. It's ok I won't pry into your soul.
I can feel my strength already coming back by the little bit of darkness I have already gathered, but this strength is already gone as I move the darkness from my strength to heal my wound. My wound healing was not the only thing I felt though because Hiei began to pry through my soul. I couldn't believe that he was prying through my soul when I just told him I wouldn't, but then he must be wondering what I was hiding. I just felt a little hurt that he wouldn't do the same as I was doing for him. I had things in my soul that I kept from my sister and know with him prying so deep into my soul he might discover those things.
I pull back as soon as my wound is healed enough to where it won't scare. That was all I needed.
"Thank you. If you don't mind, get out. I need to sleep and put these sheets through the wash." I tell him as I stand up and begin to uncover my bed.
"Use my room." Hiei told me but I just shake my head.
"I need to wash my sheets and get the blood out of my mattress," I tell him as I begin putting my sheets and blanket in the washing machine.
"You're pale; you need to get some sleep."
"Where am I going to sleep if I don't get this done?"
"Use my bed; I will take care of the cleaning." I sigh.
"Fine, but wake me up when you need to go to sleep."
I close the top of the washing machine and walk into Hiei's room, closing his door behind me. His room was as dark as mine and looked a lot like mine. The only difference between our rooms was that his had a dark, almost black, blue shade mixed into his black. I liked it.
I crawled into the bed; moving the nicely made bed covers so I could get under them. It only took a few seconds before I went under.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
"Where do you plain on sleeping tonight Hiei?" I could dimly hear it, but it sounded like Kurama was talking to Hiei about something.
"In my bed, where else?" Hiei was the one who reply, I believe. It was so hard to make out anything.
The only thing I know for curtain was that Hiei began to climb under the covers. I could feel the shift in weight on the bed and the covers being pulled so the covered both of us, and the unnatural warmth emanating from him. He was laying on his side and so close to me. I wrapped my arm around his side because he had his arm up as he pulled the blanket upwards and nuzzled my noise in between his shoulder blade as I move closer to him. He stiffened at his sudden movement but soon brought his arm down and placed his hand on mine.
"Mhm," I sigh with contentment. He laced his fingers with mine and sleep soon took over me again.
