Chapter 27- Alone in the Rain

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*

The sky was still dark and gray, though a single day has passed since the day Hiten and Akina had came to the hut in the mountains. There seemed to be little sun in the room, just as his old domain had been.

The youkai raised slowly up, his wound still causing him pain. Hiten brought his still shaky hand up to his chest again and hissed in pain.

The dark haired man noticed that his hair had been taken down, and saw Akina sleeping a few feet away from him, curled up on the floor, wrapped in a yellow blanket. The red haired maiden seemed peaceful enough, in an almost enchanted sleep.

He could feel himself smiling at her from his position across the room.

She had changed him over the time they had known each other. He had transformed from a cruel and sadistic figure to a kind and gentle creature, capable of love. The girl changed his internal feelings, he is still able to be himself, and his love made him realize that life was worth living, and while he used to live life untamed and on the edge, he would now be able to live life more conservatively.

The red haired girl loved him for who he was on the inside and she looked past the fact that he was a youkai who had slain so many people so ruthlessly. She loved that he was wild and untamed. The girl even loved his morbid and dark sense of humor. The maiden loved his sadistic nature.

She loved him for him, not for what he was.

The thunder youkai could hear the faint sprinkling of rain hitting the sides of the hut. The youth sat there for a while, listening to the quiet rain, and looking about the hut.

He remained in his place for a vast amount of time, with one knee propped up and his forearm laid wearily across his knee. After quite a while of sitting, Hiten finally mustered the strength to stand up. The tanned figure slowly stood up, steadying himself as he stood. The man shakily put one foot in front of another, slowly and carefully, making sure not to fall or cause a noise. The dark haired male didn’t want to wake Akina and was sure that she had been up all night worrying for him.

Hiten walked up to the shouji door and slid it open, then carefully slid it shut after he had made his way outside and walked slowly over to the edge of the porch and sat there, leaned against one of the wooden pillars.

The youkai’s gaze spread out across the dull land before him. He studied the familiar structures of the land and took in the senses of the rain. Hiten closed his eyes and sat there, in silence. Only the sound of rain could be heard.

Hours seemed to pass before he was accompanied by a slim, curvaceous figure that stood by his side.

“Hiten, what are you doing out here?” She asked.

“Hmpf, I can go outside if I wish.” He turned his head and looked forward.

“Ah,” Akina looked out at the light shower of rain. “You always have loved the rain, haven’t you?”

“Hai.”

“You know, you really shouldn’t get those bandages wet.” Akina advised.

“Whatever.” Hiten huffed.

“Back to your old self, I see.” Akina replied as she sat a distance away from him at the next pillar.

The youthful youkai’s eye reverted to Akina. “Something wrong? What? You think because I’m back to my old ways that I won’t except you?”

“Um....” Was all the girl could muster.

“Get over here.” Hiten commended.

“Hai.” Akina walked over and sat by him.

“Much better.” Hiten said quietly to himself.

He put his arm firmly around Akina. “You’re mine now.”

Akina put a finger up to her red lips and blushed a slight pink. Hiten had never called her his before...After a few minuets of blushing, she leaned into Hiten’s side.

The youkai looked at her with a tough and protective look in his crimson eyes. “ Just because I’m back to myself, doesn’t mean that I am going to throw you out.”

“What about Aida?”

“She never mattered to me. It’s hardly a comparison between the two of you.” Hiten smiled his trademark smile. It was a good sign for Akina to see him returning to his old self.

“But, I couldn’t compare to her...She was so pretty and she was your type. A youkai like you, and I am but a simple peasant girl who tended to warriors and polished weapons...” Akina spoke.

“Not a bad cook either.” Hiten remarked.

Akina blushed to herself. She could feel their bodies close together and sought comfort and strength in Hiten.

They sat there, in silence for a while and let their senses be intoxicated by the smell of the rain washed air. Neither one of them spoke to each other for about 30 minuets.

Finally, Hiten spoke up.

“Guess I’m not lonely anymore.”

“ Me neither.” Akina looked up at him. “Do you think Inuyasha will be back for your Shikon Shards?”

“Hm?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of him.” The youth replied.

“ Wait until you get better, okay?”

“.................................”

Hiten said nothing, but seemed to make a silent promise to himself. He couldn’t afford to make another false promise to himself or her, but he still wanted to avenge his brother’s wrongful death at the hands of that hanyou.

How he despised Inuyasha, now more then ever. He had not only been the first to strike him and beat him in battle, but he and that Kagome girl had tried to split up his relationship with the one person he had cared for besides Manten and took his beloved brother from him.

He was truly alone now, and the only person he had who truly understood him was Akina, and he wasn’t about to let her go.

The youkai and human sat there on the porch in silence once again, just enjoying each other’s company.

Hiten had truly found someone who understood and loved him, despite who he was and he wasn’t about to let her slip away from him.
