A Warm Compassion | A Hiei Love Story

The Three eyes of Hiei

Hayami's POV

It has been three days since I've seen Hiei and Kurama had returned the Forlorn hope to Yusuke. Telling me that he was put on probation, since he didn't really do anything wrong. Much to my relief, mostly because Ranumi was with him and Yusuke at the hospital.

Father did told me that he talked with Hiei and explained the things I've been going through to him. I could tell that father trusted Hiei and convinced me to speak with him. Of course, not needing to speak with me face to face, my mind barrier was down and I could always feel like he was in my head constantly. Hiei talks to me through the mind, saying that he was sorry for my loss. I told him it was alright and just ended it at that.

I wasn't really in the mood, so I decided to have a walk down the streets. I grabbed my green coat and purple scarf, not bothering to bring sword, since I'm just gonna go for a walk. I walked downstairs and wore my boots.

"Father, I'll just be going for a walk!" I told my father who was reading some of his paperwork.

Despite my father who is a demon in human form and works from home, he always gets his job done for his human boss. Though he did appreciate the appreciation he got from his boss and some of his clients, even if he works at home. But there are some times that he had to be a way for a month or two, which gets me worried.

"Alright, dear but don't stay out for too long." Father said, "Also, Ranumi said that Kurama will be with her upon coming home, so you don't have to worry."

I nodded and smiled at the thought of my little sister with the fox demon. 'It seems like it was just yesterday when she was still small and always love to spend time with the legendary bandit.'

I walked out of the house, closing the door behind me as I looked up at the blue sky. I walked down the streets as my thoughts plague my mind.

I'm not ready to talk with Hiei yet, but at the same time I want to. Yes that plan was stupid, but I couldn't blame him if he hates humans.

"Tell me Hiei, if you hate humans so much, why haven't you killed me yet?" I asked as we both sat on the tree branch looking at the horizon. "After all, I am part human."

"Hn. If I were to kill you, I should've done it when we first met." Hiei replied,

"So why didn't you?"

Hiei hesitated a little before speaking. "I could tell that there is more to you than meets the eye, Onna. Not only that, you're the first half demon I've met and I will admit that you've impressed me with your skills." He said,

I looked away from him and blushed. 'For someone who is born a fire demon with a cold attitude, he's one softy.' I thought,

"If I kill you now, Hayami, I will regret it. I considered you as a friend." He said looking away from me.

"More like I'm your only friend, Hiei." I scoffed and looked back at the horizon, "It's fine. You're my first friend as well. You could say we're just even."

I smiled softly at the memory of how we considered each other as friends. Maybe I should give him a chance. Well once I know where he is. Even if I use my water mirror, he would just manipulate it with his energy.

Right when I was about to turn to a corner, a hand covered my mouth and held my waist, pulling me back to a hard chest. I was about to fight back out of whoever's hold I'm in, until my eyes started to get heavy, making my vision get blurry.

The last thing I saw was those crimson eyes. "...Hiei...?" I said before falling unconscious.
