HYBRIDS, FOXES, AND SPIRIT DETECTIVES

 

CHAPTER TWELVE: Snow White Lives

 

Kethrina wished she had been there for Sai, in some way or other to help her. She played with her fingers nervously, waiting for some kind of warning - any kind, really - from inside the room that it would be okay to enter, all the while receiving threatening and heated glares from Hiei; it wasn't particularly something she liked.

“Do you mind!” she exclaimed, turning to the fire demon with her own intense stare.

He didn't move from his spot on the windowsill opposite Sai's bedroom door, still giving Ket his murderous looks. Everyone else in the hall could easily feel the tense emotions in the air, surrounding them all.

“You should have told her.”

Hiei's voice was low and dangerous, full of killing intent. Again, it wasn't something she particularly liked.

Lexi looked up. She could feel her mother's pain; see the way she cried and screamed inside despite the wall that separated them.

No one was allowed into the room while Sai was recovering, but Lexi knew she couldn't do it alone; the dreams, the nightmares, the reality was all just too much to handle by herself, her empathy going on overdrive as she tried to discern everything from everything else.

And the two arguing didn't help matters in any way.

“If you two want to bicker, try going to another planet,” Lexi deadpanned. When she held everyone's attention in the silence, she continued, “My mom needs help, and you're not helping anything for her confusion.” She stopped, biting her lip as tears began to well. “She's screaming, you know,” she said, looking at all of them, eyes watered. She touched her chest. “Inside.”

Lexi walked over to Hiei, still perched on his sill. “You have to help her,” she whispered, peering up at him with such helpless eyes none could deny her. “Teach her what's real, tell her what isn't. She needs you now, again. This time you can be there for her.” She gave him a sad smile, as if knowing something he didn't; something nobody knew.

Before he went, Hiei paused to look over at Kurama. Lexi caught it and told him silently, “Don't worry, I'll tell him about it.”

As soon as he was gone, Lexi turned to everyone else: two spirit detectives, her uncle, her three best friends, her aunt. They were all staring at her with wide-eyed expressions, Ket looking on curiously, waiting for an explanation.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't come anytime soon.

“We must leave here for the time being, while she recovers. Explanations will come in due time.”

OooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooO

Hiei watched her closely as she twisted and turned in her sweat soaked sheets, her teeth clenched as she curled in and out of a ball as though she was feeling the pain of a thousand worlds; a thousands years seemed the same.

Time passed quickly, with stars already speckling the sky. He had stared at her for hours, but it felt only minutes.

He moved in closer, standing next to the bed. He almost jumped back to the window when she shot up, clenching her stomach as she let out a hoarse scream that sounded more like a cry.

Sai's eyes were still closed, but she could feel him, and he only became more real when he touched her hand, bringing it to his chest. His eyes didn't leave her face, and she almost wanted to believe it was another dream, but the emotions he was sending her told her she wasn't dreaming anymore.

“H - Hiei?” she whispered through a haze.

He sat down next to her on the bed, allowing her to take her hand back, but she brought his with it.

She studied it closely, tracing the lines of his palm with her fingers, before pushing it to her face to rub a cheek along it. She bit at the pad of his thumb, then nipped his wrist, just hard enough to get the blood welling, tasting it with her toungue.

Sai moved closer, poking at his hair. She continued exploring him like she was a child again, like she had so many years ago.

As she moved her hands from his collarbone up to his neck to trace his jaw, she looked at his eyes, still staring at her, and poked his nose before tracing his lips with a single finger.

She leaned in, smiling slightly in wonderment as Hiei's eyes widened slightly, then closed the distance between them, pressing her mouth against his. The kiss deepened momentarily before she pulled away, eyes closed and slightly out of breath.

“Hiei,” she finalized, confirming her previous question.

He didn't wait for her to catch her breath, or for her to open her eyes. He leaned closer, as if needing his own confirmation. “My Innocent Dragonstar…”

OooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooO

A/N: Yay! Finally, after how many days of not updating, I have finally updated. Who would've thought it was possible? I know it's totally OOC and all of that, and even Lexi is way too serious, but it just writes itself.

Several people actually requested that I continue this one. So I finally did. And I would be happy for any ideas you have.

If anyone at all wishes to know what I've been up to…well, I kinda stared a chronicle of Naruto fanfics - Hammered Chronicles. And then I just jumped off the whole web for a while - school started, and I now share a phone line with the computer, so it sucks.

But at least I updated. Yay.

To tell the truth, I have no idea when the next chapter will be out. Lately, my brain has been dead. And I've been having parental problems - so I don't like to go out of my room when my Mom and Step-Dad are home.

As for the title of this chapter… I don't really know what to say. It just kinda popped up. (It even had the “pop” sound…)

Uh…well, review if you want, but I totally understand if you don't.

Peace!
