Hiei's Human Lover Part 10: Hiei's Confession Part 2
For a moment, Rin didn't say or do anything except adjust her red pirate bandana. I could tell my confession caught her offguard and she needed to collect herself. After a while, she looked up at me with her usual smile.
"Hiei, this is so...unexpected. How long have you been feeling this way?"
"I honestly don't know. All I know is that I looked at you one day, and it happened. From that time to this, I couldn't picture my life without you in it."
"Would've been a dull life."
I smirked as she giggled at me. She then put her hands on my shoulders and looked at me closely.
"Since we're confessing here, there's something I've been wanting to tell you, too, Hiei."
"Hn. What would that be?"
Rin narrowed her eyes and put her lips to my ear.
"My feelings for you have changed, too. I can't picture my life without you in it, either."
I looked at her to see if she was joking, but the looks in her eyes was telling me she was being serious. I sighed almost inaudibly and got closer to her face, my forehead touching hers.
"What should be done about this, then? Since we're confessing feelings here, Rin, it'd be best not to wait to do something about them."
"I agree. If we don't do anything about this, then we'll grow up to be a couple of lonely, old people. I personally want someone at my side to grow old with me."
"I second that."
Before I could say anything else, Rin wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me. It took a minute to react, but I cupped her face in my hands and began kissing her back.
Yusuke's POV:
Since it was taking a while for Rin and Hiei to come back inside, Yoko and I offered to go check on them.
"I wonder what's going on out there? They've been out there for a long time."
"I wouldn't worry about them, Yusuke. Should anything happen with Rin, she'd be in good hands."
"Yeah, I guess so."
We stopped short of the school's front doors and looked out the window. Hiei and Rin were fine, all right, judging from what we were seeing. Hiei and Rin had their arms around each other and were kissing, completely oblivious to everything around them. Yoko smirked and tapped my shoulder.
"It'd be wise not to linger, Yusuke. Hiei will eventually know that we're here, and I personally don't want to be on his bad side."
"Yeah, good point. Do you think they'll eventually come back inside, Yoko?"
"Not likely. After something like this, I imagine we'll be meeting them back home. Let's just enjoy the rest of the evening."
As he began walking ahead, I took a quick look back at the new couple. A portal had opened and they both walked through it. Yoko was right in them wanting to be alone for a while, and I for one wasn't going to interfere. After all, Hiei had the power to do serious harm.
'Good thing he's on our side now.'
Rin's POV:
After arriving back at home, I went to chance into my pajamas, a red tank top with matching pajama pants. I opened the door to my room to see Koenma getting ready to knock.
"Something you needed, Koenma?"
"Hiei informed me you two left the party early. Anything wrong?"
"No, not at all. We both had a little discussion and felt we were entitled to some privacy, is all. Why?"
"Kurama mentioned you guys had left when I arrived at the party to check on things. Demons have a habit of turning up at these things, you know. Their appearances are often mistaken to be costumes."
"Ah, excellent point. You turning in for the night, then?"
"Not quite yet. Just wanted to make sure everything was right as rain."
I exited my room and followed Koenma downstairs.
"Thanks for the concern, Koenma. I'll keep that in mind next time we go out in costume."
"Good night, then."
After Koenma left, I joined Hiei on the windowsill.
"What did he want?"
"Just checking in. He mentioned demons have been known to show up at parties like that since people will think they're in costume."
I proceeded to look out the window at the stars twinkling above the trees. I felt arms wrap themselves around me and smiled as Hiei sat me between his legs, pulling me against his chest.
"Now what do we do? We have the whole place to ourselves until they get back."
"Hn. Let's not do anything at all except enjoy the peace while it lasts."
"I don't mind doing that at all."
That's a wrap for part 10. Rin's reaction to Hiei's confession was a good one, to Hiei's relief. She not only took it well, but confessed her feelings for him, as well. Part 11 will begin in Rin's POV as Koenma gives the team a new case. Also in part 11, Rin ends up learning about Yusuke's demon ancestor, Raizen. Stay tuned to see what happens
