Sarah's Point of View.

 

The black sky cascaded over the mountains, fields, and forests that surrounded us like a blanket. It gave me a sense of comfort in the fact that I loved the dark and despised the sun beyond all other things. Well, that is a lie; there are certainly other beings that I hated more than the sun. It was just one of many. My blue/green eyes averted to the black coffin that lay at my side, its sleek form was shining as I had cleaned it just recently before catching our dinner. The gold lock on the front called to me as it glittered in the moon light, reflecting a sort of glow on the side of my face. I remembered what I had said to those boys after I had agreed to join their ridiculous team, I still could not believe I had done such a thing. I had told them not to touch my things or else they would be dead, wow, they had no idea how true that was. Behind me I could hear the calm breathing of my sleeping friend, Melissa. She tended to fall asleep a lot of the time when there was nothing more to do, that girl could sleep under any circumstances, I wasn't sure how she could do it.

`I wonder how she will fair with this team…' I thought.

It wasn't like me to worry so much about others, I usually spent my time thinking of myself and things that I could do to better improve myself and my fighting abilities. How odd that my mind began operating in such a sadistic way at such a young age. Though I came to terms with the fact that it wasn't my fault, and that it was someone else's doing, just that no one knew it. It was even strange to me that I befriended this girl; I usually never let anyone get close to me, not since that one time all those years ago. But to me she seemed different and was always responsive to whenever I needed to talk, which was rarely, but still. And she also tended to understand where I was coming from, which is why we rarely had any fights. I knew a few things about her that no one else did and they didn't need to for they wouldn't understand what it was like and probably classify her as a freak and send her to the nearest mental hospital. Of course, I wouldn't be very far behind her once they found out what I was.

`In her predicament with that man, I find it shall be very difficult.' And I was most likely correct in my assumption. But there was nothing I could do about it now, we had agreed and that was final; there was no changing the past.

My mind wandered as these boys found their way into my mind, that particular fire youkai with the jagan hidden under that white bandana. He stuck out in my mind like a blinking red fire truck surrounded by miniature fire hydrants. His eyes, they were so familiar, they looked at me the same way they used to, except for I don't think he remembered me yet they way I did him. It would most likely take him a bit to realize who I am, not that it mattered. We were on pretty good terms I suppose.

“Just please don't hate me for what I did.” I whispered in a slightly begging tone, my eyes began to droop from the tiredness I had now obtained. Finally, it took me hours and hours to actually become tired and fall asleep. I closed my eyes and with a few more thoughts let the majesty of dreams overcome me.

The next morning I was woken up by the sound of a far away voice, it was kind yet it was tinted with some annoyance.

“Uggh, come on Sarah get up they're here!” Melissa shook my slightly until I groaned and slapped her hand away gently for her to stop. A vein pulsed in her forehead as she once more attempted to wake me from my slumber.

“You need some help there?” Yusuke asked her with his hands shoved into his pockets, his eyebrow arched.

“No. I got it.” Melissa replied with a low growl, she didn't want them speaking to her much less being in her presence, “Grrr! Get up!!!” She called even louder.

My eyes snapped open and I snarled.

“Why are they here so fucking early?!” I snapped, not wanting to move from my comfortable spot to have to walk all the way to our new home. I sat up from my spot, eyes narrowing at the boys standing before us.

“It is time for us to head back.” Kurama stated, gesturing for us to follow them through the woods, I waved him off and stood, brushing the dirt off my clothing. Melissa rolled her eyes at me and then gathered her belongings, waiting for me. I grabbed my long, black cloak and slipped it on so it covered my body. Picking up my single back of items, I grabbed my large coffin and swung it over my back, hooking the strap around me for it to stay.

“There I'm ready.” I said in a monotone voice, Hiei blinked as he saw the coffin on my back, wondering why I carried it around and what it was for. But he did not find a reason to ask me, nor did he care enough to. I figured, he still had not recognized me yet.

“Lead the way.” My friend demanded in a polite tone.

The boys walked in front of us, and we trailed behind to follow them to our new home, it took a few long hours of walking, silence, glaring at one another, and Hiei's glances my way. He was beginning to figure it out. Before us stood a large compound, and leading up to it was a trail of enormous amounts of stairs.

“Hn.” I grunted, Melissa's eyes gazed over the place, I could tell she was amazed at its size and the fact we would now be living there. But she would never say it or let the feeling spread over her face. The only reason she came along was because she was tired of being outdoors all the time, with the cold and no heating system, and the fact that there was something other than fish to eat. We ventured up the many stairs, going inside the building to be greeted by a rush of warm hair. I broke out into a small sweat seeing as thought I kept my energy level high to keep me hot. I lowered it and felt better.

“So where do we sleep?” Melissa asked, her voice not showing any emotion. Kurama looked around the room before pointing down the nearest hallway.

“Your rooms are right beside each other, straight now the hall, first and second door to the left.” He explained.

Without so much as a thank you we headed down to our rooms, I chose the one at the end of the hall; it seemed to be the most secluded one. And I liked my alone time more than most things. I shut the door behind me and threw the bag of items on my bed; it only possessed one other pair of clothing and my daggers and guns. I didn't keep many weapons on me for the coffin was my main priority. And I placed this large object in the closet, throwing it in there without a lot of care and locked the door to it. It was never to be touched and I was going to make sure that no one was going to get close enough to even try. No one knew what was in it other than me, not even Melissa; of course she didn't bother to ask knowing I would never tell her. For it was none of her business. All she needed to do was stay away from it and nothing would happen. Once I was done putting my things away I went to the door and opened it, meeting face to face with Hiei. He seemed a little surprised that I had walked out before he had the chance to even knock on the door; it was glimmering in his eyes, though his expression did not clearly show it.

“Hiei.” I greeted him with a nod, somewhat wondering why he had come to by bedroom door in the first place. His crimson eyes pierced into mine as we locked in a gaze for quite a long period of time.

“Was there something you needed?” I asked as he had not yet said a word. His eyes slightly widened, a sense of realization hit him like a brick to the head. He never suspected this.

“Onna?” Was the one word he was finally able to muster up. My lips curled into a small smirk as he said this.

`He remembers…' These words raced through my head countless times, something inside me flipped and I felt a sense of strange relief flowing through me.

“Hello Hiei, nice to see you again.”

Melissa emerged from her room and turned to see me standing with Hiei in front of me; she cocked an eyebrow and waited there as she watched the two of us. I looked over his shoulder to see her watching us and narrowed my eyes slightly.

`Is there something you need to say?' She questioned me through telepathy; it was a power the both of us possessed.

`I will explain it all later, for now I need to speak with him alone.'

`You better, I don't want to waste all my time talking to these useless bastards out here, I need some real conversation before I burst.'

That was just how she was, she hated going even a single moment without some decent conversation, and only in certain moments would she not want to speak. But that was usually when she went off to be alone to think her own little thoughts, and of course no one knew exactly what she was thinking, only I had a hint. Melissa shoved her hands into her pockets and returned to her room to have some time to herself. Not wanting to associate with the men in the living room. I turned my attention back to Hiei, he couldn't seem to tear his eyes away from mine, and in fact I was feeling much the same.

“Come in.” I commanded politely, and yes weird huh? Me of all people being nice to someone I hadn't seen for a long time. Well it was just how I became. I came to have a very understanding relationship with this man in the time we had known each other before this little mission. He walked inside my room as I stepped aside and followed while closing the door behind us for privacy. His hands were placed neatly in his pockets as he looked out the window, now suddenly avoiding eye contact with me.

“So it really is you.” He finally said, I nodded in response.

“Yes Hiei, it's me.”

“Hn. I never thought I would see you again, especially under these circumstances…”

I could tell this was an awkward situation for him, hell it was for me to but I wouldn't show it. It was difficult for the both of us to face one another after all this time, and I knew he would have some questions for me.

“I know there are some things you want to ask me Hiei, but can they wait? I just settled in and I don't know if I could give you a straight answer just yet.”

Hiei turned to me as I explained myself, his eyes narrowed down at me ever so slightly.

“How much longer am I going to have to wait onna?!” He spat, but his tone was not angry, it seemed sad and by the look in his eyes I could tell he was not upset with me, only curious.

“Not must longer I assure you, just not right now alright?”

Hiei grunted and nodded in agreement, I sighed out and rubbed my temples. I knew exactly what he wanted to know and I was going to tell him. But not now, not after all this change and having to move to a different place.

“We can talk later, for now I must go speak with Melissa.” I explained and then walked out of my room; he followed and went down the hall, taking one last glance at me before leaving. I retreated to Melissa's bedroom next; she was lying down on the bed and staring at the ceiling with a look of deep thought spread across her features.

“Hey.” I said in monotone, walking over and sitting at the foot of her bed, looking to the floor. She sat up, staring at the back of my head.

“Care to tell me what that was all about?” She was polite but slightly demanding, Melissa liked to be included in a lot of things especially when it came to her friends.

“Hn. I never thought it would come to this but….I used to know him, well I still do but I used to know him on a more personal level.”

“How long ago was that?” Melissa asked.

“Years ago, it has been a very long time since I last spoke to him, we knew each other when we were children, we were raised by the same group of thieves but something happened after a while….”

“Are you going to tell me what it was?”

I continued to stare down at her carpeted floors; the room was very bland right now as was mine. They were going to need some serious redecorating if we were going to be staying in them for a long period of time.

“One step at a time, I don't want to talk about it really right now.” I replied and stood from her bed, shoving my hands into my pockets as I turned to take a good look at her.

“You really don't want to be here do you?” I asked, her eyes narrowed some.

“Neither do you.”

I shrugged at this, maybe she was right and I truly didn't want to be here with these imbeciles. But were they all that way really? Or did they just send that vibe because right when they met us they began to crack stupid jokes and think they were know it all's. Were they really bad people? Or were they only trying to get the job done without something wrong taking place in the process.

“I'll see you for dinner.”

And with that I walked out of her room. Hours passed with us being alone and no one coming to disturb us for anything. Melissa was polishing her favorite desert eagle pistols; she was just about obsessed with the things. Who could blame her? They were quite good looking guns and they gave a huge kick when you pulled the trigger. Just as soon as the scent of food entered her nose she turned towards the door. She rolled her eyes and scoffed in annoyance that she would now have to go out and see the boys again when that was truly the last thing she wanted to do. Melissa placed her pistols on her bedside table and made her way out into the hall, noticing that I had yet to come out. She walked right into my room without so much as a knock.

“Sarah…”

I looked up at her with a bored expression on my face, and it was quite self explanatory, I was bored.

“Dinner is ready.” Melissa stuck her tongue out to emphasize the fact that she didn't want to go out. I shook my head at her and threw my cloak off, following her out to the living room where everyone was.

“Ah, you two came out that is great dinner just came out.” Kurama said with a calm smile gracing his face, I almost cringed at how polite and sweet he seemed to be. Throughout my life not many people like him came around to shake hands and say hello. But I remained calm and tried not to look absolutely disgusted by them all. The only person I didn't really have a problem with was Hiei, only because of who he was and everything that had happened between us.

“What is it?” Melissa glared down at the meal that was set out before us, she was so used to fish she could hardly remember any actual foods that they made in the real world.

“That would be pot roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, and green beans.” Kurama explained as we all gathered some onto our plates. Pot roast, it sounded familiar, like when I used to live in the actual world and actually ate real people food. That was, other than fish.

“Alright.” Was all she said before going to the dining room table with the rest of us, I could tell she didn't like being in the presence of them, I seemed to be the only one she could stand. And somehow I still found that hard to believe. Especially when I think of the kind of person I really am, what kind of sane person would want to spend their time with me? Who in their right mind would want anything to do with me? Those questions had yet to be answered. Melissa sniffed the roast before taking a bite and chewing it, her eyes lit up but her expression did not change, she liked it, I could tell. She had good taste in food, so I easily assumed that I would enjoy it too. Hiei took a seat next to me and I couldn't help but glance over at him for a moment before eating my food. And yes, it was very good.

`Hard to believe guys like them can actually cook.' I thought and smirked to myself as I told Melissa this, she shook her head.

`We all know the red head made it, none of them look like they even know what the ingredients are.'

`Makes sense, I can tell the orange haired boy doesn't know much of anything.'

`Hell no he doesn't.'

I sighed with the shake of my head, all the boys were engaged in conversation but I wasn't really listening. There were all blurry voices in the distance to me. Besides, the only people whom I cared about what they had to say were Melissa and Hiei.

“So do you girls like it?” Kurama questioned, I could tell he just wanted us to say something nice.

I narrowed my eyes at him and Melissa rolled hers, we truly didn't want to have to say anything when it really wasn't our choice to be here.

“Meh.” I mumbled and continued to eat, he sweat dropped as Melissa said nothing at all and we returned to our food. It wasn't that hard to figure out that we liked it, I mean we were eating it weren't we? As I finished I rubbed my temples as a headache erupted, the blinding light in the room was getting to me, or so I thought. Hiei noticed this, his eyes holding a glimmer of concern though no one could tell but me. We had known each other so well when we were little we could tell just about everything the other was feeling just by a single facial expression. I could see that we still held that gift. Melissa also noticed that something was wrong when she saw my eyes glaze over, cloud of pain wafting within them.

`You ok?' She asked through telepathy, even though Melissa was a cold person who hardly spoke to anyone, she had her moments where she was the kindest person you could ever know. Somehow she always knew how to make me feel better in times when I truly needed it.

`Urrrgg….migraine…or something.' I replied as I looked around the room at the others, but my vision was blurred.

“I'm going to my room.” I stated and stumbled out of my chair, then walked down the hall to my room, trying as hard as I could not to run into any walls.

“She ok?” Yusuke asked Melissa, she sent him an icy glare. She wanted to make it clear that she wanted no one here to talk to her unless she spoke to them first.

“She's fine.” She snapped and also got out of her chair to go to her room and maybe find out if I was ok.

As I got to my room I slammed the door and locked it behind me before walking to my closet with a deep growl emitting from my throat.

“Alright you got my attention.” I snarled as I threw the door open to the closet and yanked out my coffin, glaring down at it as it sat down on the floor. A light glow shimmered from the crease in the coffin; the heavy lock trembled and shook eagerly as if begging me to open it.

“You're not coming out, how many times do I have to tell you that?” I asked with acid dripping from every word, my teeth grinding together with annoyance. A low growl came from the inside of the coffin as the top began to quiver; it wanted out so badly that it was willing to fight for its freedom.

“Don't try it!” I yelped and slammed my foot on it, pressing down to make sure it didn't escape. The headache got worse, why the hell did he want out so bad now? I placed a hand on my forehead and arched my neck back to stare at the ceiling. A dark voice entered my mind, only making the migraine worse.

`You little bitch, you belong to me. Both of us being here will only mean death for the others, you don't want that do you?' It asked the voice monstrous and demonic. I squealed in pain ands it felt like my brain was splitting in half. I clenched my fist, my knuckles turning white.

“Piece of shit!” I gritted between my teeth.

`You stay here and they'll find out what you really are.' It continued before the coffin and lock stopped shaking and the migraine ceased, I panted and wiped the beads of sweat I had acquired on my brow, I narrowed my eyes down at the cursed object and kicked it into the bed.

“Fucker!!!” I growled and shoved it back into the closet, closing it, before going to lay down on my bed.

Melissa was in her room, putting away her pistols as she got settled to spend the night, her first night in this new place. She hoped she would get a better nights rest here than she used to on the cold hard ground in the woods. Slipping on silky, black pajama pants, and a red tank top, she slipped under the covers and into bed. Letting her mind wander freely as she gazed at the stars and the moon through her clear window. The night sky always cleared her mind and helped her think when she didn't have a chance during the day time. Melissa was worried, angry, and upset all at the same time, and it was clear in her stain glass eyes. The one within was to soon be exposed and that was something she did not wish for the others to see. Though, I already knew about it. She curled up into a little ball and tried not to think about it as she fell into a deep sleep, with me still awake in my room.
