Chapter 5

Escapades in the moonlight

I awoke from my slumber, realizing that it was still dark only a little lighter then when I had fallen asleep before…damnit why did that always happen…I will never get my beauty sleep at this rate. Its those nightmares again…I’m afraid of reliving my horrid past again…I need some fresh air, maybe something sweet to eat also…my mouth tastes rather funny…bleh! Slowly pushing my comforter aside, I slowly rose from the comfortable haven that was my bed and slipped on my black sneakers, continuing on towards the kitchen. A sudden creak in the wooden floor below me, startled me, making me fly into the air, grabbing for anything to hold onto…oh it was only the floor….phew…I continued on until I reached the kitchen, the holder of all glories righteous and pure….FOOD!!!!

“ Yes, something to eat, I can’t take this horrible taste in my mouth any longer…hmmm” opening the freezer, I scoped around for the one thing I wanted most…ahh…ahh…no…hmm…. “ Ahhh, YES! Sweet Snow!!!!” I grasped the yummy goodness in my arms, searching each drawer for a spoon to eat it with, making a whole load of clanking noise…I was so clumsy it wasn’t funny.

“ Kurumi…? Is that you in there…?” a soft voice arose from the doorway to the kitchen, me swirling around in surprise as the lights flickered on…only Yukina…phew again.

“ Oh…Yukina…you frightened the crap outta me,” I turned back around in my pursuit of a spoon, “ Where in the bloody hell are the spoons!?” I dropped the ice cream on top of the counter, throwing my arms into the air in frustration.

“ Right here silly…” Yukina waltzed up beside me, opening the drawer I had been viciously sifting through, revealing under the stainless steal mess of forks, knives and….spoons…ugh…I could be so stupid sometimes…sigh.

“ Gee, thanks Yukina, you should be sleeping right…?” I grabbed hold of her shoulders, spinning her around and shoving her lightly from the kitchen, “ Don’t let the bed bugs bite!” I turned from her with a wave of my hand and dove onto the counter, opening up the box of chocolate sweet snow, breathing in its chocolatey goodness, “ Ahh…at last…” I grasped the spoon tightly in my hand and shoved it into the frozen ice, scooping and eating for like fifteen minutes until I had what humans call it…”Brain Freeze”? Now I definitely need fresh air…continuing on through the sliding door into the outdoors, the light breeze clawed at my bare legs under the starry night sky.

“ I need to enjoy the outdoors more often…this is so pretty compared to the Makai forests…there are actually birds chirping…” I breathed in the sweet smelling air around me, strolling off the porch and into the freshly cut grass.

“ What are you doing out…woman…?” a deep voice slithered down from the tree I was now standing under and into my prone ears.

“ Taking a walk…got a problem?” I peered up into the tree, expecting to find the ornate fire demon perched upon its limb…and knowingly I did, there he was, glaring down at me.

“ Do not take that tone with me, woman…” His fiery orbs glared daggers at me as I stepped back a bit in fear, “ I will have to slit your throat and I know you wouldn’t like that…”

“ Don’t be too cocky, Mr. Grouchypants…I can kick your ass if I wanted to ya know!!” I yelled up at him in a huff, how dare he threaten me!!

“ Heh…when Kuwabara finally realizes how much of a bafoon he really is will be the day you kick my ass…idiot woman…” he merely closed his eyes in disgust at my attempt to threaten him, a modest smirk playing upon his lips.

“ Are you saying I am weak!?” throwing my hands to my sides in an amount of fury, I screamed angrily at him, turning on my heel back towards the temple, ‘ he truly is a bastard…’

“ I heard that…” I could feel his cold stare prying through my body, creepy much?

“ I don’t care you fool…” I glanced over my shoulder, meeting his gaze, “ Maybe instead of training yourself to be stronger, you should take some lessons in people skills…” facing back around to my destination, I could tell I sent a shockwave through him because I was not getting a witty remark back in reply, therefore, I continued on to the temple.

The nerve of him insulting me like that…what happened to that show of affection I received earlier? Maybe that was just my imagination…men aren’t and NEVER will be that nice to a woman, take those freakin perverted demons who bought me off of my own people!! Screw them!! Men are scary beings…the only brain they have is in their pants…their heads are merely a hollow void filled with complete and utter nothingness…end of story there.

I picked up my pace as the wind kicked up, scratching at my legs. All of a sudden, my sprint was interrupted by some black figure standing directly in my path. This was beginning to anger me quite a bit.

“ Umm…excuse me, I don’t think you realize that you are standing in my way of getting to my bed, its flipping cold out and I want to sleep, so remove your rear end from my presence thank you very much!” I pushed the darkened figure aside, continuing on my enraged path to my room that I so longed for at this very moment.

“ Woman…you are trying my patience…” I felt the cool touch of a blade against my throat, pressing ever so lightly upon my skin.

“ I should have known it was you…I don’t have time for this, sleezebag, get out of my way…” taking my index finger, I pushed the blade away from my delicate skin and gave Hiei a mocking glance as I waltzed past his shocked and angered form.

I felt a rough tug on my hair as I went flying backwards, an arm snaking around my waist, pulling me up close and personal against their body. I felt the memories of my prison flooding back into my frightened mind. Those demons touching me…in inappropriate places, their grimy hands prying over my weak and helpless body.

“ Let go…” tears of pure fear began to form in the corners of my eyes…what was he going to do to me?

“ You have tried my patience for far too long woman…now you die…” his arm that was wrapped around my waist had slipped down towards my lower region and that was a bit too close for comfort…although I don’t know if he really meant it, but who could tell…he was a male after all and they didn’t care for a female or her DIGNITY for that matter!!

“ Hiei…please let go…” I could feel the blade against my throat once again as I struggled in his iron grip, not getting very far I might add, tears now freefalling from my face as I slowly faded away into darkness…oh wonderful…great time to faint! Why not set up a platter for yourself to lay upon and ask to be molested you dumb girl!!!

As I slipped away into the darkening world I was now entering I could here him calling my name, his voice growing fainter with each call. He sounded concerned…? No…don’t let your imagination get the best of you again Kurumi…you know what happened last time. After I could not hear his voice any longer, everything faded to nothing.

“ Kurumi…Kurumi wake up…” I was starting to here a boys voice, it was reaching a louder volume each time I heard him say my name.

“ What…? Stop being so loud you piece of crap…I have a headache…” I replyed to the voice, hearing a snarl in return, opening my tired, tear stained eyes to meet the gaze of the being whom I just called a “Piece of crap” was none other than Yusuke, “ Oh, its you Yusuke…sorry about that…” I glanced around the room silently after I had seen a huge smile plastered upon Yusuke’s teenage face.

“ Welcome back to reality,” Yusuke rose to his feet, placing a hand in his pocket, staring down at me.

“ You’ve been out for quite a while now,” I heard a softer voice once again, Kurama?

“ Kurama…?” I slowly turned my head to the opposite side of my bed where Kurama was sitting, no wonder my bed felt like it was sinking to one side.

“ Yes?” his eyes closed, happily, a smile gracing his soft features.

“ Where is Hiei…?” I questioned, hoping for an answer when the oaf chimed in out of nowhere.

“ Oh Shorty? He’s been worried sick about you, god knows where he is now,” Kuwabara held his chin in his hand, elbow resting upon his knee as he sat looking off into the woods from my porch.

“ How long have I been out for…?” I looked wildly surprised by their actions, why are they so worried?

“ You have been out like a light for ten freakin days,” Yusuke’s face stiffened up as he glared down at me seriously.

“ WHAT!!!???? TEN DAYS!!!!!! WHY DIDN’T SOMEONE WAKE ME UP!!!!!????” a huge gust of wind erupted in my room as all three guys went flying out into the field with my loud, obnoxious yelp of anger and surprise.

“ Is it ok for us to come back in now…?” the bafoon peeked around the side of the door at me, Yusuke above him and Kurama above him.

“ Yes…” my eyes returned to their normal shape and color, the tenseness in my muscles retracted back to their normal form as I watched them all pile back in.

“ We have been watching over you whenever we could, you had shown no signs of waking up, we did try a few methods however…I didn’t agree with them…” Kurama touched his chin with the tip of his index finger, deep in thought.

“ Oh,” my eyebrow began to twitch, a stress pulse pumping at the side of my head, “ What methods might they be…?” I glared daggers through all of them, my head whipping back and forth.

“ They weren’t our methods that’s for sure…” Yusuke held out his hands in front of him, waving them wildly about in a sign of truce.

“ Yes, shorty slapped you around a bit, trying to get you to snap out of it…but we all told him not to…” Kuwabara shrugged his shoulders, a sweat drop forming at the side of Kurama’s head.

“ Oh, he did, did he!?” the anger in my voice could easily be heard by the guys as they all looked scared for their lives once again, a hand was all of a sudden placed upon my shoulder, snapping me out of my trance, startling my senses, memories once again surging back into my mind, “ Please don’t hurt me!!” I lept from the bed onto the floor, leaving an astonished Kurama sitting there with his hand still outstretched where my shoulder used to be.

“ Kurumi…?” Yusuke looked down at me before kneeling next to me, I jumped away from him as well…too much testosterone for my liking…what were they going to do with me…no! I couldn’t go through that again…I won’t let it happen again.

“ No! All of you stay away from me!!!” I ran from the house in my “ Barely There” nightgown, barefoot also, out into the woods I ran for a long period of time until I reached a pond, “ I should be safe here…” I knelt down next to the water, rethinking what had just happened.

Meanwhile…

“ What was that all about guys…?” Kuwabara scratched the back of his head nonchalantly.

“ I really couldn’t tell you…” Yusuke looked off into the woods bewildered.

“ I think she may be suffering from past memories…” Kurama stood from the bed silently, a look of sadness upon his face.

“ Past memories…? Yusuke arched a brow at the fox in question.

“ Yea…explain that please…?” Kuwabara now stood next to Yusuke, arms folded across his chest in silence.

“ Remember when we saved her from that cruel place in the Makai…?” Kurama placed his hands in his pockets, a serious glint in his eye.

“ Yea…so?” Yusuke and Kuwabara still weren’t convinced as of yet, stupid….

“ You two are even more dense then I thought possible…anyway…remember the fact that she was abused both physically and mentally…even sexually…? Well, I believe in my theory, that she is in fact afraid of a man’s touch…” he ended his statement with a hint of sadness etched within it.

“ Oh…I see…” Yusuke, finally understanding what Kurama had been trying to say, now had a sad frown upon his features as well as Kuwabara.

“ Poor girl…she went through a lot…I could just imagine what she is feeling right now…” Kuwabara looked out across the field once again, deep in thought.

“ Men! They are so idiotic!” I splashed the water where my reflection had been, watching as the ripples faded back to my reflection once again, “Why was I born…this is not fair…I don’t deserve to be treated so unfairly, life is so cruel…” tears fell from my cheeks once again as I sat there, drowning in my emotions.

“ Life is only cruel if you let it be…” I whirled around to see, directly standing behind me, none other then Hiei himself.

“ Get away from me!!” I stood and took off running from him, a look of shock in his eyes as I took off, “Stay away from me, your all out to get me, leave me alone, I want to be alone!!!” I kept running until I was at a cliffs edge…and boy was it a WAAAAAYS up, a small river running at the very bottom of the canyon.

Maybe this was the canyon Genkai told me about yesterday…? Hmmm??? Oh well, no time to think right now…I am going to end this horrid life now and for good…goodbye cruel world, see you in hell. I leant forward, arms outstretched to my sides, feeling the breeze begin to whip in my face as I started falling forward when I was….stopped?

“ You fool!” Hiei’s voice was ever so clear once again, “ What in the hell are you trying to do!?” he spun me around to face him, grasping my shoulders tightly once again.

“ No! Stop touching me! No more!! I hate you men! Your all the same!”

“ What are you blabbering about now…?” his voice sounded so calm and caring for a brief second, “ And why the hell were you trying to kill yourself!? Explain yourself woman!” he shook me violently, only making me cry more then I already was.

“ Your all violent, perverted freaks! Now let me go!” I kicked and screamed, punching his chest with whatever might I could muster from my weakened muscles.

“ What are you saying…?” his grip loosened on my shoulders, “ I’m perverted and violent? I already told you that you are not my type!! Idiot!!” he screamed in my face, his crimson orbs flaring with anger.

“ See! You asshole! Your violent and angry!” I yelled back into his face, my own ruby hues now fierce with frustration, “ Then explain why you saved me!?” I glared triumphantly at his bewildered expression.

“ B-Because, you shouldn’t kill yourself over the past…” his cheeks turned a light hue of pink as he turned away from me.

“ Do you care for me or are you just like all the other men in this world…?” I sidled up next to him, wanting an answer.

“ Why would I care-” his sentence was cut off by my interrupting.

“ For an idiot woman like you…that’s what you were going to say right…?” I smirked up at his astonished face, the anger slowly returning, “ Now let me get back to what I was doing…” I outstretched my arms once again and got ready to fall when I felt two powerful hands grab my tiny wrists, lowering them to my sides ever so softly.

I was spun around quickly by a pull of my arm and flung into his body. Was he embracing me? But, but why? He doesn’t care…he is a cruel, cold-hearted, arrogant, self-centered, bastard! Why was he trying to play with me like this!? I grew very angry with him, shifting my gaze to meet his.

“ Don’t play this game with me any longer Hiei, I know you don’t care for anyone or anything other then yourself, leave me be…” I said with such a cold tone that I even frightened myself, “ I don’t even know anything about you…its not worth wasting mine and your time…goodbye…” I slowly removed his arms from around me and walked off into the woods.

“ Kurumi…wait…” I turned to face him, a look of utter disgust in my eyes as he approached me silently.

“ Yes…? I don’t have all day ya know…” I glanced up into his eyes, looking down passionately into mine, a slight blush overcoming my soft skin, why was he doing this?

“ You wanted to know my life story didn’t you…?” he grabbed my hand, interlacing his fingers with mine.

“ W-Wait how did you know that?” I gazed on into his eyes, astonished.

“ I can read minds you know…I heard you think that, the night you told me your life story…remember…?” a small smirk crept upon his lips as he pointed to his bandana where the Jagan lie beneath it.

“ Oh…ooopsie…gotta remember not to think anymore then…” I replyed snidely, gritting my teeth, does a girl get any privacy!? Damn!

“ Well did you want to know…?” he lifted my chin so he was able to look into my eyes, prying for the answer he was looking for.

“ Yes…that’d be nice…” I smiled up at him, maybe he wasn’t as mean as I thought he was…maybe I could give him a chance?

Shiyva: Chappie 5 is now up! I am having writers block again so it is kind of hard to keep up on the chapters but I am working through it as best I can
