________________________________

Hayami's POV

Despite that my body has recovered from the multiple injuries, my mind still refused to wake up. Mostly because I know who exactly saved my life, to which I didn't ask him to, and I don't even want to bother speaking with. He broke my trust and his chances of ever explaining himself.

The first time he entered my mind and spoke is when I was reminiscing the fun times I had as a child with my family, thinking that I wasn't wanted since Ryuji isn't my real father and that Ranumi is just my half sister, having the same mother. Despite seeing all of that, it just pained me more seeing how both our parents spends more time with her than me. Like I wasn't a part of the family and that I was replaced. I immediately shook that thought out of my head because Ranumi looks up to me as her sister and meant it with all her heart.

Right now, I felt Hiei in my head again but this time, I wasn't gonna let let him. In fact, Tetsuya is actually guarding me with his true form in my mind and surrounding us both with a mind barrier. Hiei is being kept from coming near me any further.

"Are you sure that you have no desire to speak with your mate, my Lady?" Tetsuya asked as he lowered his head to my level,

"What does it matter? I deluded myself for believing that someone other than my own family would love me for who I am." I said as I faced my dragon with a slight anger. "I was being used as a tool, even now in this stupid war that has nothing to with us. We're both just tools to them. Then again, I'm just someone who's life isn't suppose to exist in the first place."

"I do not believe so." Tetsuya said, "After seeing your memories with others of whom you've spent for the last twenty years, I could see that you have made some deep connections with them, specially with your demon. Though through seeing all of these memories, I could see how much your family and Hiei wanted you to stay because of who and what you are." I turned away from him but continued to listen to him, "I understand why you recent him after what he has done, but you always listen to reasons. Am I right, Hayami?" He asked,

"What other reasons would be there for him to explain?" I asked as I buried my face onto my knees while hugging my legs tighter, "For all I know is that he would be tricking me again for being in love with him. That I was just a some disposable body ready to be thrown away after he's done with me." After saying that, I could feel my chest aching, "Just like any other guy... toying with girl's feelings."

"Do really believe that Hiei would be capable of doing something that low?" Tetsuya asked making my head snap at him in shock. Though he's right. Hiei would never sank that low, it's too far beneath him. "My Lady, you know this demon more than anyone who knew him. In my perspective, his intentions were to never hurt you." I looked away in guilt for ever thinking my demon would ever do something like that. "I suggest in speaking with him and understand his reasons for his actions. Because I know that you still love him despite of what he did."
