Chapter Seven

Where's Hiei?

 

Kurama noticed Hiei's disappearance a day after he was kidnapped, and searched in vain for him. When the others noticed, they looked for him as well, but no one could find him.

 

Arc was starting to get very anxious, and would bit her hand. Something she always did when she was nervous. Her hand was turning blue and purple after a day of worrying and searching for Hiei.

 

'Dammit Hiei, where are you? It's just... too noisey without you around', Arc thought as she walked down the deserted side walk.

 

She hadn't been at school for the last week, ever since Hiei disappeared. She had a feeling that it had to do something with Ruri, but why? She didn't care for Hiei in that since, or at least, she didn't think she did.

 

'I can't. Hiei's.... Hiei! He's just.... Hiei, I can't like him. We're friends. Almost like brother and sister, that would just be so wrong on so many levels!'

 

“Archer”, a voice called from behind her. She turned around to see Yusuke and the others. She stopped and waited up for them.

 

“Any luck”, she asked.

 

“No”, Kurama answered solemnly.

 

“Oh come on you guys, this is Hiei were talking about here. He can take care of himself. He's a big boy”, the detective said, not worried in the least.

 

“Kuwabara, when checked Rika's spirit energy, what did you sense?”

 

“Nothing really. She was just human.”

 

“Why are you talking about Rika”, Arc asked, annoyed.

 

Kurama turned to her, and looked her dead in the eye. Everyone stopped walking.

 

“We, I think that Rika is Ruri in disguise. But, I don't understand how we can't sense her. She might... have become powerful enough to find a way to hide it”, he said, not looking away from her eyes.

 

“It's... it's not true. Rika is my friend, she would never do anything like that. Could she”, she said in desperation.

 

“I don't know yet.”

 

Everyone looked at the two, as Arc looked like she was about to cry. She turned her head away, and looked at the pavement.

 

“It's not true... It's not... true”, she said, again and again.

 

“Arc”, Kuwabara asked, grabbing her shoulder and giving her a little shake.

 

She pulled from his grasp, and ran down the side walk.

 

“Arc”, Yusuke called out, but she was gone in a flash.

 

“Since when can she run like that”, Kuwabara asked.

 

No one answered, as Kurama looked after her, as if he could still see her, but he couldn't.

 

'Don't run away from us Arc', Kurama thought as he and the others continued their search.

Arc ran down the side of the road, just looking for somewhere to go. Somewhere peaceful, and quiet. She ran into a nearby park, and sat underneath a huge tree.

 

She looked up at the sky that was now growing dark with rain clouds. The rain on her face felt refreshing, but it didn't calm her nerves.

 

Winds picked up speed, as the rain turned into hail. She seeked shelter up in the tree, even though she was still hit a few times. But, it was her fault anyway.

 

She could her screaming and glass being smashed nearby, as the hail turned into large blocks of ice.

 

'Stop it! Stop it! Stop it, now!'

 

Her mind screamed, and she grabbed the sides of her head. It throbbed uncontrollably.

 

“Arc!”

 

She looked down and saw someone standing underneath her.

 

“Archer”, they said again.

 

She couldn't see the persons face, as her vision blurred, and finally blacked out. She fell out of the tree, and would have hit the ground, had it not been for the strong arms that were wrapped around her now.

 

The hail stopped, but the rain kept on falling.

 

'Don't worry, my dear Arc. I won't let anything happen to you. I will always protect you.'

 

They rested their black haired head on top of hers, and just held her until she woke up.
