A Flame in the Darkness (Hiei Quiz) #27

Hieis still not looking at you, but at the sky, as he continued with his story. You cant help but feel pity, and something else, maybe anger towards the ones who could do such a thing to Hiei. I survived, and when I got older, I went back, and found that I had a twin sister who had went missing looking for me. He says. Yukina? You ask. Yeah, so I went looking for her. But when I found her, I couldnt tell her.....for many reasons. He explains. Why? You ask. She deserves so much better..............and so do you. He says.

Better. What exactly IS better anyways?
Why does he think so down of himself?
Why does he think so down of himself?
Thats not true Hiei! Youre a good person. Anyone would wish for a brother like you. And I have everything I need for a friend in you. You say, trying to comfort him. You dont know me Yuna. Youre not ready to. You think about what Hiei said, wondering how you could not know him, when he claims you two to have known each other so long ago. If you tell her, I wont forgive you. he says, giving a glare that sends absolute chills down your spine.
His glare reminds you of the way Haiku would always look at you. But that was when he wasnt upset. When he is, its more a look of disgust, hate, and cruelty. As if he heard your thoughts, Hieis gaze softened. Did you ever meet your mother? You ask. No. When I got there. I found out she died, a short time after I was born. This is all I have of her. He says, reaching in his shirt, he pulls out a beautiful blue, crystal like gem attached to a worn leather string.

Yeah, and?
Oh, all that, and he never even got to see his mother.
I cant believe Hiei is actually sharing his feelings with me.
What a beautiful necklace.
Wow, its beautiful. You say. You wish that you had something of your parents to hold on to. Obviously, you werent even worth that much to them. What about your father? You ask. Hiei eyes narrow at the question. Its getting cold, wed better go in now. Hiei says, walking past you to the back door. You stand there for a moment, wondering what you did to upset him. Are you coming, or do you want to get sick? Hiei calls, his hand on the knob. You nod, and walk up to the back door where Hiei is. You turn to take another look at the yard and the sky, before going inside with Hiei.

Hiei POV
Yuna knew right away that me and Kurama were definitely not on the best of terms. I dont know how, but I also think she knew it had something to do with her. She was uncomfortable the whole time, sitting there, just eating, trying her best not to draw attention to herself. Making her feel that way only upset me further with Kurama. I couldnt help wonder what she was thinking about, but knew by her sorrowful expression it had something to do with Haiku. Everything I thought about that night just seemed to upset me even more. Knowing Yuna was thinking about Haiku upset me with myself for not being able to protect her. Caught up in my own thoughts, I hadnt eaten much. I guess Kurama noticed. Hiei, youve barely touched your plate. Arent you going to eat? He asks. Hearing from him, being as upset as I already was, just seemed to top everything off for the night. Im not hungry. I growl, standing up, I grab Yunas wrist on my way to the back door. You should at least let Yuna finish. She needs it more than any of us. Kurama calls, frowning. And of course, hes right. But I had no intention of letting her go the whole night with out eating anyway, right now, I just needed to be alone, and sort things out, and I promised Yuna I would take her out here tonight, so, what better time, right? Letting my anger get the best of me like always, I shout, Like you really care. How would I know thats not a lie anyway? Before leaving, pulling Yuna, harder than I had intended, out the door behind me.

Once I closed the door behind us, Yuna asks if Kurama and I were angry with each other. And that wed seemed like such good friends. Friends fight. Thats what I told her, and its true, I mean, just look at Yusuke and Kuwabara. Yuna looked around the yard wed all worked so hard to get this way. There is a part of all of us in this yard. She had refereed to it as something you dream about. So I pinched her, a little too hard, considering I was upset, to show her she wasnt. Of course, she didnt know anything about that, so I explained it to her.She asked why I was upset with Kurama. I didnt answer, and honestly, I dont think she expected me too. I saw her staring up at the sky and wondered what she would be thinking about, so I decided to see for myself.

Thoughts of this being the last time she would be able to see the night sky and of Haiku finding and killing her after the worst beating of her life played through her head. I couldnt let her think of those things, she needs to know were here. We wont let him have you Yuna. I tell her. She says she knows, but I can see the doubt in her eyes. I only wonder if its doubt that we will actually be there to protect her, or of our capability. I told her no matter what I wouldnt let him have her. I cup her hand in both of mine, feeling how small and fragile they are, I guess to add some assurance to my words. She told me how Haiku always finds a way to get what he wants. But what she doesnt know is, that I would go to the same extent to keep what I have. Shes afraid that if Haiku finds her, shell end up hurting us, and although, he is capable, I know there has to be a way to stop him from it. Hiei, once Haiku finds out where I am, you have to stay away from me. She says, and I can tell shes fighting not to cry. Shes afraid, I know. Afraid that shes going to become attached to her new life, and then be taken away, or end up hurting someone she really cares about. But Im not afraid of her hurting me, shed have to kill me before I would be to give up on her, and to Haiku the same. No matter the odds. I try my best, though Im not very experienced, to console her. I wish I could take away what hes already done, but unfortunately, all I can do is protect you from it happening again. I tell her, sighing. I look up to the sky, knowing, that as I am now, I could fulfill my claim. Ill train Yuna to protect herself, and train myself to become stronger so that I am able.

stronger than you already are? Is Haiku really that strong? (You have no Idea)
We stay quiet for a while. I know that, no matter what, Ill never be able to take away what hes already done. She will always remember. And I know that there are so many things that will remind her of what hes done, and of how I let her down. Yuna, Im sorry I say, not able to look directly at her. For what? She asks, I cant believe how clueless she can be. For not being there sooner. I couldve saved you from so much pain. I say, staring at the ground. I noticed her trying to gain eye contact. I tune into her thoughts again. She basically just caught on to my relation with Yukina. I dont know why, I mean, Im sure she wouldnt tell if I didnt want her to, but I still didnt want her to find out. Shes smarter than I thought, being able to figure it out on her own is more than any of the others were able to do. Hiei? I already know what she was about to ask, I look up at her. Are you and Yukina......related? She asks, she seemed to be a little unsure, so I try to deny it. She seemed to accept it well enough as a coincidence. I dont know why, but I ended up telling her anyway, and much more. I knew so much about her painful past, I guess I felt I owed it to her, that she deserved to know a little about mine as well.

leaving again huh?
Yeah I gotta go, sorry it was so short, pressed for time but didn't wanna leave you guys hangin' on the last one, next one will be back in Yuna's POV again, so thanks for reading and for being patient. I will update again as soon as possible. Thanks again, c ya
