Chapter Three

The Terrible Truth is a Lie

 

The sun was brighter than the day before, Hiei assumed. Then he realized he was in a bed that he didn't recognize and shot up. He also felt tiered. He was about to start panicking but then everything slowly came back to him as he tried to think of what had happened. He could sense every one was still nearby and that it was pretty early in the morning. He got out of bed and walked out to the hallway towards the others.

They were in the kitchen; Yukina, Botan, Shizuro and Kaiko were by the counter cooking. Yuske, Kurama and Kuwabara were at the table talking. Genkai was somewhere else in the temple doing who knows what. Everyone was silent for a while when Hiei walked in, brooding as usual. Then Yukina approached him and asked if he was all right. He nodded and looked to Kurama who smiled. He then looked to Botan with an “are we leaving now?” look on his face.

“I called Koenma and he said to wait a little longer, and that he would have the location of the demon by noon. So just relax and wait for some breakfast.” She offered him a chair at the table and he surprisingly took it.

“So, uh, Hiei how's it been going?” Yuske asked not able to forget the information he had gotten about him yesterday. Hiei noticed something was wrong but didn't know what.

“Hn.” Hiei gave him a questioning look, but answered his question anyway,

“There was a rebellion against Mukuro and now I'm looking for the leader.”

“Hay, Hiei what's Mukuro like? I mean she must be something to be able to deal with you.” Hiei flinched in anger at Kuwabara's statement, but answered his question too.

“She is a strong stubborn woman, that is ruler of part of Makai.”

“I know that, let me rephrase it for you: What do you think of her?” Hiei looked slightly confused.

“I'm asking, you must hang around her a lot for this to happen, because some of her aura I can feel it on you, and man can I tell you what she thinks of you!” Yuske and Kurama looked interested and the girls stopped chatting to listen. Hiei on the other hand looked as usual, expressionless. But you could tell he was just as curious as everyone else as he asked,

“Baka, what do you mean?”

“Shrimp, she has so got the hot's for you, I mean wow, even though she's not here it's as clear as day to me.” Hiei looked to Kurama for a translation,

“He's saying that Mukuro likes you.” Hiei quirked a brow as if to say `So?' then Kurama continued,

“As a potential mate Hiei, not a friend.” Kuwabara nodded. Yuske had an expression of `Eeeuck'. He remembered the way she looked and even though she had tried to hide it at the tournament he could tell she was not a `good' looker. Kuwabara noticed his expression and asked out loud,

“Is she really that bad, Urameshi?” Yuske nodded like a traumatized child.

“She's better off than you baka.” Hiei unwillingly defended his boss.

“He's defending her, he likes her too.” Botan whispered a bit to loud to the other girls. Kurama merely smiled, even though they were arguing, not once had they actually gotten Hiei to talk about something other than fighting. True he had tried once to invite him to a game of cards but that had been it.

“I do not `like' her. She's a means to employment, and that is all.” Hiei closed his eyes and crossed his arms putting the subject to an end. Kuwabara took this time to take out the article from yesterday out, and put it in front of Hiei's face so it would be the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes. Hiei was still being defiant and still had his eyes closed. Yukina caught on to what Kuwabara was doing and walked up to the table, Hiei must have sensed this and opened his eyes.

“What the…?” Was all that was auditable from him before the room was filled with laugher. He read the article curious and huffed,

“That baka ningen, I wasn't even on patrol and I found him, I was looking for that blasted demon. I probably would have found him too if it hadn't been for this bastard.” He slapped the paper referring to the human that had been in the article.

“He thought you were a short three eyed alien. I'd say the only part he got wrong was the `alien' part.” Yuske said between laughs. Hiei made an annoyed mock laugh expression that sent them rolling.

“Very funny guys, now EAT!” Shizuro shouted startling them out of laughing. Before Hiei had shown up Kuwabara had said that Shizuro's cooking was all but great, that in turn had earned him a good knock on the head.

“It cant be that bad now, I mean Kaiko's parents own a restaurant, and she helped, so she would stop you sister from poisoning us right?” Kurama whispered to Kuwabara as Shizuro left his and Kuwabara's plate and went to get Yuske's and Hiei's. Kuwabara just gulped and shrugged. When all of the plates were down the girls stood around the table trapping them in.

“Aren't you guys gonna eat too?” Yuske asked. The girls shook their heads and said that they had already eaten. The boys, except Hiei, looked around the table with looks of `are you going to eat it?' Then all eyes landed on Hiei, who was just staring at his plate.

“Hiei?” They all asked in union. He looked up and noticed they were all staring at him.

“What, I'm the Ginny-pig?” Every one nodded. He sighed and thought `can't be worse than demon food' and took a bite. Yukina and the other girls looked hopeful. Hiei took in another bite with no expression. Like so he finished his plate. He was a really fast eater for his size and now everyone knew why they had never gotten the chance to even see him eat.

“I guess it's good I mean Hiei ate it, I just realized I've never even seen Hiei eat before now.” Yuske said preparing to take a bite off of his own plate. Everyone nodded in agreement except for Kurama, who said,

“He ate all of the ice-cream we had in the freezer once.”

“So that's where my rocky road went. Still the thief aren't you?” Came Genkai's old voice as she entered to room. Just as she was entering the room Yuske had bitten down on his food, his taste buds made contact and…

“It taste like shit.” He stated vary calmly. Then swallowed. The two other boys ate it too, they could feel the dangerous aura of the ones who cooked the horrible meal they were forced to eat.

Once everyone was freed from the table all of the boys ran for the bathroom feeling an emergency coming on. Even Hiei looked worse for wear. But the food wasn't what bothered him it was his predicament. Even now his body was taking his energy and preparing for tonight. He sat on the windowsill and let out a deep sigh, he could tell he was not acting the way he usually did when around people. But he figured that after this time he would probably never see any of them again. He didn't want to see any of them again, not that he hated them he just felt accepted. He knew that whenever he felt that something bad was going to happen. Like yesterday, he had actually enjoyed himself, no slaughtering involved, just plain joy. Then what happened, the gods dammed him, that's what.

“Hiei I'm so happy you opened up a little today it really made me happy to see you enjoy yourself.” Yukina came up to him and smiled. He had been trying to avoid her, discreetly; he didn't want her asking if he had found her brother. He had made up his mind long ago, he would lie to her, it would be the only time he lied to her. Another reason he didn't want see anyone again, he knew they would hate him for hurting Yukina, his own sister.

“Um, Hiei…” She had begun trying to figure out how to ask him without annoying him; little did she know that she could never annoy him. He knew what she was going to ask him, he could tell because of the look of hope in her eyes. So he cut her off,

“Yukina.”

“Huh? Yes Hiei?” with that he pulled out the gem she had given him and held it out to her. At first she looked confused then smiled and said,

“I'm sorry, you must have been too busy with work, I shouldn't have burdened you with my task.” Hiei didn't look at her; he held his head low and reached into his pocket again. She watched closely as he took out another Hiruiseki necklace. Her eye's widened and she looked to Hiei to see his expression of what it meant. She was met with the usual stoic face so she had to ask,

“Hiei? W-what does this mean?” Hiei shook his head. She stood there frozen like a fountain statue, tears flowing from her face and bouncing off of the ground as priceless Hiruiseki stones. His stomach was more than knotted, it was grounded into a fine powder of regret and hate towards himself. He had never wanted to be the cause of these tears, ever! And yet there he sat cold as ever, expressionless and hopeless.

“Yukina!” It was Kuwabara, he had come back and saw the state Yukina was in and how Hiei was and assumed he had made her cry.

“Hiei! What did you do?” he seethed. Hiei then realized that Kuwabara was a better suited to protecting Yukina, he was a good man.

“ I made her cry isn't that obvious?” Hiei was being colder and colder with each word. It was after he said that that he let Kuwabara give him what he deserved.

“Hey! What in the hells going on!” Yuske yelled after Kuwabara stomped passed him dragging Hiei beside him. They went outside, everyone was now either looking out from the temple or outside trying to figure out what the ruckus was about.

Everyone except Yukina, who was probably still inside, mourning her brother's death. No one even noticed or knew that it was because of her that they were out and they were even more confused when Kuwabara started beating on Hiei, and Hiei was letting him.

“Why isn't he fighting back, or dodging, holy crap I almost forgot isn't he like sick?” Yuske asked Kurama then went to stop the massacre. He managed to hold the fuming Kuwabara back. Hiei just stood there not even flinching, his head down and his eyes closed.

“Let him go Yuske. This doesn't concern you.” He said toneless but not cold like his voice usually was.

“Hiei? W-wha…” Yuske was completely confused.

“LET HIM GO!” He had never heard Hiei like this, and let the boy in his arms go, but Kuwabara didn't do anything. Instead he glared Hiei down and stomped away, muttering,

“No way am I giving that ass-wipe what he wants.”

“Hiei, what's going on?” Yuske asked getting closer to him but Hiei stepped away his eyes hidden.

“Botan I have a mission to finish!” Botan scurried out of the temple and without even asking what was going on, summoned her ore.

“Hiei?” Yuske tried again, but Hiei was already out of sight, Botan took that as her cue and was about to take off when Shizuro stopped her.

“He's hurting, don't dig or he might break. I'll figure out what's the matter with my bro, you keep an eye on him.” she said with a pleading look, and then sent Botan off.

“What's going on?” Yuske asked her.

“Yes, I'd like to know as well.” Kurama was just as confused.

“I'm still not to sure but I'm sure we will soon find out inside. Some ones hurting as much as Hiei is.”

 

Kevan: I cannot believe you made Hiei do that.

Toni: It Hurts! The Pain! The Agony! The Torture! Kay, I'm over it. Because it was what needed to be done. Hiei fan's trust me you'll love me for this later. But for right now go ahead and hate me with all of your… your…Yeah! I don't care if you send your flames go ahead send me all you've got!
