A Warm Compassion | A Hiei Love Story

Dragon of the Darkness Flame

Hayami's POV

After the little squabbling with Kuwabara, everyone was able to calm down. I saw Hiei inspects any injuries from the corner of his eyes when he looked at me. Yes I have a some light burn marks on me at some part of my clothes that were burnt, but it was nothing serious.

"Hiei, there's really no need for you to keep starring at me for injuries." I quietly told him as he tighten his hold on my hand and averted his gaze to mine.

"Hn, maybe Onna. But I don't want to see the girl I love get hurt." Hiei said turning his head to face me, "Or have you forgotten that even if we are mated, we could still feel the partner's injuries and for that I felt those small burns on your skin."

"Don't worry, I'll heal myself once this fight is over." I told him, "Besides, it's nothing too serious."

"Still, you should at least heal your wounds, Hayami." He said,

I sighed and let it be as I looked down at the ring on my finger, to see that it's still in perfect conditions even after the whole flames on my part. My gaze went back to the ring to see Zeru, the team leader of the Rokuyukai team walking towards the center.

"What? Their team leader is fighting now?" Kurama asked in a bit of shock to see Zeru now in the ring,

"But he's supposed to go last, maybe there's a mistake." Kuwabara said,

"No." Hiei said, having all of our attention to him as he glared at Zeru, "Zeru's definitely strongest out of the three remaining. He's fighting angry. It's obvious that he isn't taking this seriously. Especially now that his dear sister is dead."

"Yes and we're just the picture of professionalism." Botan said glaring at the sleeping Yusuke.

"I'll go. This one's been irritating me ever since last night and will pay for claiming Hayami as his prize." He said removing his scarf as he wraps if around my neck before jumping onto the ring.

Kuwabara questioned the sudden actions as he starred at Hiei confusedly and went near Ranumi for a question.

"Hey Ranumi, what's up with shorty?" Kuwabara asked in a whisper,

"Hm?" Ranumi hummed in question,

"I mean I know that him and Hayami are close friends and all, but it looks like they're a lot closer when I first met them." He said, "Not to mention during training, they would often stay together."

Ranumi smirked, "That is something you need to figure out on your own, Kuwabara." She said, "It's not my place to tell, besides it's pretty obvious." She walked away going towards her sister, leaving a very confused Kuwabara,

"What does she mean by obvious?" He asked looking at Kurama who only chuckled, covering his mouth.

Ranumi came near me with a smirk on her face. "Looks like your fire demon is showing jealousy." She said making Hayami look at her with a hint of blush on her cheeks. "So was it true that that Zeru guy wanted to claim you as his prize after the whole tournament?" She asked in concern as I nodded a yes,

I was touching the scarf Hiei gave me as I took in his scent.

"TEAM ROKUYUKAI, ZERU! TEAM URAMESHI, HIEI!" Koto said,

Third POV

"I know a great deal of your technique." Hiei said to Zeru, "You and your sister harness heat energy with such great precision that it resembles a knife cut, but one of the edges are sloppily melted." He then smirked at him, "You had your flaw."

"As do you." Zeru said crossing his arms, "I don't think I need an advice from someone who had to use a fake eye." He said,

Hiei glared at him for insulting the jagan eye as it slowly opens up from the insult under the bandana.
