My Demon Escorts (Hiei x OC)

Beauty and The Beast

"St-" I felt my body lurch and then the hand on my mouth, the scent of fire and earth. Panic controlled me as I shoved.

"It's me!" Hiei snarled at me. I forced my eyes to open, my body to still, at least to a tremble.

"Hiei." My voice was muffled through his hand.

"scream like that again and you'll attract even more demons and worse, Kurama's concern." He took his hand away and sat back.

"Are you going to tell me what it is you're so afraid of?" His eyes were intense, the way they always are as he stared into my eyes, I could feel the terror in them and in the end, Hiei was a predator and he could spot weakness like any other predator.

"It's none of your business." I snapped moving away from him.

"It is when it is getting in the way of my mission." He met my eyes levelly. "these nightmares are old, that much I can sense, deep seated fear buried in your subconscious."

"Just leave it alone."

"your fears are linked." His eyes pierced straight through me.

"Does this stupid thing even work?" I glared at the talisman on my wrist.

"Unfortunately yes, I can only reach what you allow me to reach, take it off and I might be able to help you." He reached for my wrist but the second he touched it he winced and yanked his hand back.

"Damn, Kurama." He cursed him "take it off, now."

"No, you have no business rooting around in my head." I tried to walk past him but he grabbed my arm.

"Take it off, now." His tone was a sharp command.

"If you-"

Shut up." Hiei snapped suddenly, his body tense, before I could get upset about anything I felt it too. The shift, something happened.

"Hiei, Nuni." Kurama burst through the trees.

Roses sprouted up from the ground, the entire area transformed into a beautiful rose garden, a castle not too far off. Gates so high it seemed like they went straight into the sky.

"I'm not the only one seeing this, right?" I asked.

"No, you're not." Kurama and Hiei stood guard around me but something seemed familiar about this scene, the way the gates were, the castle.

"show yourself." Hiei shouted.

"because shouting always works in horror movies." I snapped at him.

"I'm a demon," he snapped back "I am the horror."

"If you two would hold your bickering for now, I think we should get out of here." Kurama touched my elbow as a guide. Hiei was less delicate and shoved me forward. Whatever I'd deal with him later, Kurama was right, staying here would be stupid.

I stuck close to my two demons, both of them on high alert. Hiei shoved me every few steps to keep me going, something was drawing me toward the castle I glanced up to Kurama to ask him something but when I looked at him, his eyes had glazed over , he drifted away from me and I grabbed Hiei's arm.

"What, you're scared now-" he stopped taunting me when he saw what I was looking at.

"What a beautiful rose." Kurama drifted farther away and found a gorgeous rose sprouting from a nearby bush.

And as he passed by he remembered his Belle, and he selected the most beautiful Rose in the garden.

"Kurama don't." his hand touched the rose and before I could react, Hiei was across the garden and pining Kurama to the ground with his sheath.
