Prologue

 

A figure stumbled away from the bandits, heavily bleeding from the many cuts on his body. His rags called clothes ripped and tore even more from the defiant branches standing in his way. Panting in exhaustion, he quickly tried to find a hiding place. As he slowed down to look, he heard bushes snap and rustle as a crowd of feet could be heard running to his location. Panicking to the limits of hyperventilating, he almost sighed in relief and slouch at seeing a hole, small enough to not be noticed if you were in a rush under a rotting tree under its roots. He quickly hid in it and, with his ruby eyes, watched as well used boots clouded his vision from underneath.

 

“Where is that little brat?” he heard one of them ask.

 

“I have no clue, spread out and search men!” The brash voice commanded all the others as the boots spread out, fanning about the clearing. The small child held his breath as one pair came extremely close to his hiding place.

 

`Oh please! Please don't find me! All I want is a home, a mother, and a family! I don't want to live like this!' he cried out desperately inside his head. He could feel his hot, wet tears slide down, what should be round, jubilant cheeks of a child, but instead almost hollow cheeks of one who has been through unnamable things. As the wet crystals dropped from his chin, they turned into ruby red gems, falling to the forest floor. As he tried to stop his tears, he sniffed, quite loudly. He froze as he saw the boots in front of him stop. He could hear the slight humor and the voice that soon said, “Come out, come out, wherever you are! We know where you are, now just come out and it wont be painful,” One of his comrades looked at him in surprise, then grinned at the next word. “much.”

 

The child's blood froze. They knew where he was! He could feel himself start to panic once again, much to his dismay, started to breathe heavily. His soft pants could only just be heard, but with the silence in the clearing, only broken by his rapidly beating heart, he could tell they found him. Boot came into his view, pausing, as if he was checking. He tried to calm his erratic breathing, but it did him no good. Suddenly, when he wasn't expecting it, a horribly scarred face with evil, cold, glinting gray eyes caught his ruby red gaze.

 

“Boo.”

 

He gave a startled gasp before moving back as much as he could. He didn't realize how big the hole was, for the man could stick his whole upper body in it, even more!

 

“You can never run.” The cold voice of the man forced him to move back even further, which did no good, since the man just entered even more.

 

“You will never fit in.” Forbidden tears started welling up in his eyes. He tried scooting away, but there was no where else to run.

 

“Did you expect to be able to get away?” He was terrified.

 

Suddenly, a hand rushed out and caught his throat. He gasped as he struggled to breathe. The man smirked, and drew him out. The boy was immediately surrounded by the bandits, all ugly, scarred, and evil. They were as evil as any demon, but they were human. He dropped the kid and kicked him in the stomach. The child gave a gasp of pain. The man hunched down on his haunches and grabbed the boy's spiky black hair and mad the boy look at him in the eye before punching him there. Again, another cry was heard. He grabbed the boy's hair again roughly before him, looking at him straight in the eye.

 

“You can never hide from us…” He slapped his cheek for emphasis before he dropped him onto the ground, bleeding, bruised, and broken. With a nod to his men, they gathered him before starting to walk away. The words of the leading bandit floated to his ears in the wind, cursing him, haunting him, for the rest of his life.

 

“If you ever run, we will hunt you down. You can never hide…Hiei.”

 

 

 

~End Flashback/Dream Sequence~

 

His gasp was heard in the forest he slept in near Genkai's, near Yukina. His body shook and the cold sweat making him shiver slightly. He was known for being a ruthless killer, and a thief, but also for never showing emotions, other than disgust. Yet, here is the ruthless killer, cunning thief, and stoic murderer, slightly shaking, gasping, with bloodshot eyes warily and quickly scanning his surroundings. A trembling hand rose to his eye, trying to feel if it was swollen, while the other traveled down his cheek, looking for the tell-tale paths of tears. His hand then drifted to his side, where the bandits kicked him. Even though he could still feel his `wounds', he felt, warm, loved. He had not had that nightmare in years, why now? And what was with that feeling of warmth? Love?

 

`Maybe it had something to do with my sudden curiosity of Mother,' he mused. That dream, no, nightmare, felt so real. He gave a sigh and leaned against the bark of the tree he was currently residing in. `Mother could always make these dreams go away,' he thought. A picture of her popped in his mind. Black, raven hair, blew around her in the breeze, making her seem ethereal, with the small, pink sakura blossoms passing by. Her skin seemed pale, but also slightly tanned by the sun. She carried a sword at her waist, the same one currently on his hip. Her face was in shadow, though what stood up were her brilliant sapphire eyes, softened with love, aimed at him, filled with wisdom someone that looked her age could hardly experience. “There there, little firefly. Momma can make it all better,” she whispered. Her whispered promise tempted him to run into her arms, before a blinding blue light appeared, taking her, but not without a panicked shout of his name.

 

“Hiei!”

 

He jumped up, apparently startled that he heard her voice in reality.

 

“Hiei!”

 

So he hadn't imagined it! Maybe it was her? He ran desperately to the edge of the forest, hoping with all his bruised heart, that maybe, she would be there, and he could run into her arms again.

 

As he neared the exit, a bright light stopped him, forcing him to stop and shield his eyes.

 

ME: ooo, cliffy! Lol, yeah, Hiei might be a little OOC, but adds to the drama! Plus, I think I've used Hiei's name only twice. It might be bad, but it made you guys guess. I still gave hints though! Like: “…grabbed the boy's spiky black hair…” and “…with his ruby eyes…”. Only a few anime people have the black spiky hair and red eyes, so I kind of made it obvious. Any who, hope you like this so far!
