Chapter 9

They had been wandering around for awhile trying to figure out where the others had traveled. No luck. "We'll just have to make our own way to the portal. I'm sure eventually we'll catch up with them some way or another." said Kurama.

"Do you even know the way?" asked Ryu. She obviously knew nothing of were to go. As a matter of fact, she didnt even know where the hell they were right now.

"I have somewhat of an idea as to where we're heading. We'll rest in the next town. I'm sure we can be secretive enough for one night. Plus it would be rather refreshing to sleep in a nice bed woudln't you say."

Ryu nodded and Hiei didnt say much. They both followed Kurama at a distance. Of course they wandered side by side unintentionally. Hiei didnt kno why but he was drawn to her. He glanced in her direction from the corner of his eye, making sure as to not be noticed. She was so beautifull in his eyes, her ravens hair flowiing like wings in the wind, the cool crisp air making her skin seem pailer but adding a red hue to her cheeks. She was slim but with eccentuated curves, the perfect body. She had a button like nose, also slim. Her face wasnt too long nore short and not too skinny nor round. He enjoyed seeing her lips curve as she talked BUt the most captivating thing to him were here eyes. He had never seen anything like it, magenta. Not onlly were they magenta but they had a shimmering look to them, a soft gentle feel. SHe turned towards him and he quickly snapped out of his gaze subconciously reminded himself not to get involved, he needed no one. Although, deep down he knew hewas lying.

He saw her head fall back down, "I'm sorry...for the things i said." He looked at her bewildered. No one had ever apologized, probably htought he wasnt worhty enough or they were to scared to talk, he was never sure which one.

"Hn...dont be. Why would i acknowledge the words from a hybrid human."

She bit her lip in anger but soon released it. A crackle reverberated in the forest, thunder. The night was following their footsteps and it would rain soon, their only light would be the flashes of lightening crawling through the skies.

They rushed into the lobby, drenched. Ryu removed her jacket from over her head and brushed her hair back through her fingertips.
Kurama was already at the desk getting 3 rooms and about 10 mins Hiei casually walked into the lobby not minding the rain. He had lefts about 4 hours ago and had said not to worry about him he'd meet up with us at the hotel. The hair began to stand on as Ryu got goosebumps, her teth began to chadder but bit down on her lip to stop. Kurama turned around with three keys in his hand, "We'd better get you to your room to take a warm shower." He cheerfully smiled and walked up to Ryu rubbing her arms and guiding her to the elevators, soon followed by Hiei.

The warm water burned as it hit her icy skin. Every spot the water hit would sting and the steam would raise up form her body as if she were a block of dry ice. SHe soon became accostumed to the temperature and layed down as the water sprayed all over her body. Yes, you were supposed to stand in showers but she was too tired to stand and didnt feal like soaking in her own filth by taking a bath. She grabbed the shampoo and lathered her hair, it felt good to finally take a shower, it had been about 3 days and already had blood on her, that would be a pain in the ass to get out of her clothes.She rinsed off her hair an dsighed, she was a bit scared about this mission but wouldnt admitt it. She went along with her bathing routine and grabbed for a towel to wrap around her tiny body. Shutting of the water she grabbed another towel and began drying he hair.She walked over to the vanity and closed the medicine cabinet and peered into the mirror, another decieving image. Never will she have soemthing, have love, be needed. Thats all she wanted. She walked into her room and was startled by the figure in her room. He was sitting on her bed and looked as if he was sleeping when all the sudden a cold vioce broke the silence, "it's about time."

Ryu smiled sat on the edge of the bed, "What do you want?"

He stood up in the blink of an eye and had handed her a peice of cloth rolled up and tied. She looked up at him dumbfounded but still untied the string eagerly. The cloth unravled in her lap revealing two new daggers well handcrafted.They were jagged like her others but more durable. The handles had been engineered to fir her grip perfectly. They were beautiful. She couldnt stop starring at her new marvels, a small word 'Hiei' escaped her lips.

"Thought they might help"

She smiled and looked up, but at nothing. He had vanished. She sighed and placed her new daggers at the side of her bed and put on a tanktop and boy shorts she had bought in town. She snuggled herself into the sheets and drifted off into another world.

Hiei layed down on his bed and crossed his arms. I just want this fucking mission to be over with. He had always hated being assigned 'babysitting' jobs. Although, something good may come out of this mission, the two worlds will be once more seperated and he wouldnt have to deal with these pathetic humans, oh how they disgusted him. It amazed him tehy were capale of living on their own, living those happy little lives.

His body jolted up from his bed senseing a strong power near by, in Ryu's room. He rushed out through his door to see Kurama in front of his own, they both starred at eachother in silence butthen heard soemthing fall and break in teh room between them. They rushed in Ryu's room and say a tall lean figure with black curly hair about shoulder length standing on top of the balcony. In his hands was an unconious Ryu, one hand wrapped around her slender neck, his long nails cutting into her drawing a thin line of blood dripping down her chest, his other hand wrapped around her waist. The man just smiled showing a feral grin and foucused his deep brown eyes on Hiei, "She's quite a prize isn't she," he broke into a maniacal hysteria as he jumped off the balcony back towards the ground and flew off, dissapearing into the night. Hiei and Kurama rushed over to the balcony and looked for the mysterious man. Hiei jumped onto the ledge and was about to jump off when Kurama grabbed his leg, "Not now."

Hiei looked back at his red haired 'friend' and gave him a disgusted look, "He's wounded."
