Hinote Kyou Mizu

Book 2 – Run

~Hiei’s POV~

I smell her.

Its light but I smell her. The strong, familiar scent of a human woman. Not just any human woman. Her. Smaller than even me, not at all delicate, strong-willed, hardheaded, intelligent, and exquisite in every way a demon could hope for. She was mine and she was here. I listened in the dark, letting my senses take over. I sensed her mind, reaching out for mine, as her scent became stronger.

‘~Hiei. Where are you? ~’

I looked down from my tree. I saw her, not quite hiding but definitely not wanting to be seen. Her eyes were darting around, constantly aware of the surroundings when she came to find me. She knew to be wary here, things worse than me where in the forests.

‘~Jaganshi Hiei where are you! ~’

I smiled inwardly. She knew I was here, just not where. She knew my presence, as I knew hers.

I flashed out of the tree, far enough away from her for the surprise, close enough I could still keep an eye on her.

“Here.”

She whirled at the sound of my voice, going into an immediate defensive stance. My hands went up to block her blow, silently complementing her skills. When it came down to it, I taught her to fight, but I would never let her be hurt in the first place. She was just as, if not more, precious to me than my sister, Yukina. This woman, she got through my armor, my own guarded mind.

“Damn it, Hiei. Don’t do that!”

“Do what.”

I pushed her against the tree, arms wrapped around her waist. I wanted her badly. She knew it.

“Hold still.”

Usually if I told her to do something, she did, calmly and happily. This time was different.

She grabbed my bandaged right arm and wrist, turning me and trying to swing me into the tree behind us. I felt a slight burning sensation as she grabbed my arm, not really paying attention to it but storing the information in the back of my mind. How could she, a human, even remotely start to awaken my dragon? I had other things to worry about as she pulled away. Looking at her retreating form, I tried to figure out exactly what was going on. This was not supposed to be happening.

She turned her head as she ran away from me, her voice mocked me.

“Catch me.”

I stood confused. What did she want me to do?

Suddenly it occurred to me as I reached out to her mind.

‘~Can you find me? Find me Hiei. You can’t catch me.~’

I smiled as I thought to myself, shielding my mind from hers.

‘~Like the fuck I won’t.~’

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I can’t believe I lost her!

Her scent faded quickly. The sound of her heartbeat, she was fast, but I would find her.

I went to one of our favorite spots and looked for any clue she was there. Her scent was heavy in the air. She had been here, recently.

The hot springs held many memories for us. It was the first place I had seen her; on another occasion the first time I had had her, felt her. I remembered these times as I heard the hard sharp twang of a bowstring and the hit of the arrow above me.

I turned to see her flee, dropping the longbow on the ground. I gave chase following along the trees as we ran. Her scent was intoxicating, pheromones, endorphins, the scent of a female. I wanted her, and she would be mine that night.

I caught up with her quickly wrapping my arms around her waist pulling her down into the underbrush. She fought me as I turned her to me. The movement of her body, exciting me, causing me to hold her fast with my body.

“Stop.”

I growled the comment at her, stifling my moan. She had wrapped her legs around mine, rubbing her body against mine in more than one pleasurable sensation. I put my hands on either side of her head and through clenched teeth, snarled at her.

“For the love of kami! Stop it!”

Her features turned fearful as I looked down at her, her body rigid. I softened my own features, trying to be reassuring. I could tell it didn’t help as I leaned down to kiss her softly. She turned away.

“I’m sorry.”

Her face changed instantly from wariness to confusion as reacting to my words.

“You know I would never hurt you, right? That I would never cause you pain.”

“Hiei...”

“Never. You mean too much to me. I am yours . . .”

Her lips silenced me, pulling away with a smile.

“As I am yours . . .”

I looked at her, somewhere between shock and elation at her words.

“You don’t care I’m a demon?”

“Hiei, I never cared. I love you. Demon or not, I love you.”

I pulled away, kneeling between her knees. She leaned up to look at my expression, recognizing shock even in the moonlight.

“Hiei?”

I tried to wrap my mind around the concept. It really wasn’t mutual need, or lust, or even just affection. Someone loved me. The Forbidden One

Me.

I felt her lips on mine snapping me out of my trance. I didn’t pull away as I felt her hands in my hair. I followed suit running my hands up into my lover’s hair.

“Don’t stop.”

Her voice was pleading. Her heart pounding. I could feel the tension leave her body as she sighed. I laid her back in the grass, kissing her neck as I lay upon her.

“Hiei.”

I didn’t respond as I lifted her shirt and caressed her. She responded to my hands, arching her back, small cat-like sounds emanating from her throat. She ran her hands up to my shoulder in response, clawing at my back in an attempt to pull me closer. I took it as a direct invitation as I moved down her body, nipping at the soft flesh of her breasts, down to navel and the button of her jeans.

“Mine.”

She moaned in response. My body responded in kind, ready for her. Her pants gave up easily, slipping off quickly. I looked at the sight of her; nude, in the grass and absolutely beautiful. I pulled away from her hearing her lament at the lack of my body covering her.

“Be patient.”

“I can’t. I...”

Her voice went silent as I removed my shirt, her eyes glued to the bare skin revealed by the blue shirt. I chuckled under my breath at the look on her face.

“You like?”

“Hai.”

I smirked, content at the knowledge that she wanted me. I continued to strip, removing my red belts and watching her lick her lips in anticipation. As I kicked my clothing away, I reached my hand down to her lifting her into my arms.

“I am yours.”

“As I am yours.”

I smiled, wrapping my arms around my beloved and with a flash we were in the nearest tree.

I put my hand out, showing her the view, my view of the world.

“It’s beautiful.”

I smiled again, knowing it made me happy to make her happy. She cared for me and took care of my needs, yet asked for nothing in return. I was thankful for her.

I flashed us quickly back to the hot spring, standing us at the water’s edge. There, close to where we stood was a large, flat toped rock, which I knew to be warmed by the water. I lead her to it, sitting down behind her, holding her in my lap.

I can not lie and say her sitting there, nude, didn’t affect me. It did, all too well as my body reacted, alerting her to my original intention for that night.
She turned to look at me directly, straddling my body, running her hands up my back.

“Mmmmmm. . . . You’re so warm.”

She took the initiative this time, moving her own body against my erection. My breath caught in my chest, the pleasant pain of unreleased tension the only thing keeping me from losing touch with reality.

I never felt her get up, but I felt my entrance to her body; warm, tight, and achingly wonderful all at the same time. I felt her body close to mine as she rode me, and I pulled her closer telling her in a language she didn’t understand that I loved her. I needed her. I had been traveling with the group, been with them for so long; I didn’t want to be alone any more. I wanted her by my side. I wanted to feel her, hold her, touch her, and trust her; I wanted to wake up next to her.

I pulled her close to my body letting myself go as I realized…

“I love you, I am in love with you.”

She followed me into oblivion, calling my name, telling the sky, the trees, and the world that she loved me.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I woke up in a tree wrapped in a black cloak, a bandaged arm, and a tangle of legs. Hiei had wrapped us up together, our bodies needing the feel of each other. He stirred, his eyes burning their way into my soul, his lips in a small smile.

“Good Morning.”

“Good Morning, Beloved. I love you.”

I smiled at the words on the fire demon's lips. They were not easy for him to say, but I could not help but harass him.

“Not just ‘I care deeply for you’?”

He smiled, wrapping us back up in the cloak. “I do that too, but three little words say so much more.”

I smiled. “What would you have done, if I hadn’t run?”
