Chapter 1

Why?


All heads snapped their attention to Rain. She shrugged and looked down. "I was just answering Kurama's question…" she muttered.

Even her reason wasn't enough for them all to quit staring. The heat rushed to her cheeks and she got up hastily and ran to her room. Closing the door behind her, she slid down onto the floor and buried her face in her arms, shaking with tears. 'Why didn't I just lie and say no one?' she reprimanded herself. She felt drained… first, the kiss from Hiei in the rain and now everyone knew that she actually liked Hiei!

Rain picked herself up from the floor and walked dejectedly to her bed. Laying down on her back, she looked at the black void that served as her ceiling… and wished it would swallow her up. 'Then I wouldn't have to worry about what Hiei and the other's thought,' she sighed inwardly. She closed her eyes as tears sprang up once again. Someone was in the room with her and Rain sensed it.

"Rain-san?" whispered a worried Yukina.

Sitting up slowly, Rain looked over at the Koorime sadly. "Do you really love Hiei-san?" Rain could only nod because of vocal failure. "He loves you , too… or else he wouldn't have yelled at all of us for making you feel uncomfortable," Yukina whispered as she glided to the bedside.

Rain closed her eyes and shook her head forlornly. "No he doesn't Yukina. He hated me since the first he laid eyes on me and now he hates me even more."

"I'm sorry you believe that, Rain-san… I'm so sorry," whispered the ice maiden as she left the room.

As Rain crawled under her covers, she heard the wind roar louder and the rain pounded harder. She sobbed and burrowed her body into the chilly covers, wishing that they would warm up quickly. Her thoughts wandered to the kiss in the rain. When Hiei had kissed her, she warmed up and the rain didn't make her freeze like it should. She fell into an uneasy sleep…


Awaking the next day was strange… when Rain looked out there was snow lying on the ground. Although the day before had been the first day of spring, it appeared to be the dead of winter. She couldn't place it but it made her feel uneasy. She shook it off as she thought about how deep the snow probably was… on impulse, she jumped into her closet and pulled out her snow gear. Her snow suit looked like a scuba suit but it was warm. She stuck her arms into the sleeves of a white and periwinkle snowboarder's jacket. Her boots, which were white and knee high, fit comfortably over the snowsuit. Lastly, she put on a head band/ear warmer which was also white.

Rain looked at her completed outfit, and for some reason felt like a snowflake. 'Well… if I want to hide it won't be too hard,' she thought with a wry smile. She opened her door and slipped out. Turning towards it, she shut the door with a soft click. "And where are you going?" asked a voice from behind her. She jumped and turned around with a startled look.

There stood Yusuke. Rain relaxed thankful it wasn't Yukina, or worse, Hiei. She shrugged her answer to the detective's question. "Alright, keep your secrets, but I thought you might like to have this back," he said holding Rain's disguise medallion out to her. He dropped it into her outstretched finger with a wink and went to his bedroom.

Rain mentally thanked the rebel and put the necklace on. Her hair instantly turned white and her eyes went grey. She hid the pendant under her jacket and continued to the front door. When she saw the door, she quickened her pace. When her hand held the knob a voice spoke. "You forgot your katana, didn't you."

'Dang,' she thought. Turning around, she came nose to chin with Hiei. Tilting her head back slightly, she looked him in the eye. "And why does it matter to you if I did or did not remember to bring a katana?" Rain asked coolly. Rain's coolness caught the fire demon off guard…

"Do you mean that?" asked Hiei… the look in his eyes was painful to look at.

"What? The katana part?" Rain asked sharply.

"No… you don't think I care…" he said

"Nope… in fact, I know you don't care! The only way you'll show positive feelings towards me is when you're dared to, and you don't give me a warm smile… it's always a smirk or a smug look. Than, lastly, I told everyone that I liked you, and all you did was reprimand them for staring at me! You didn't even think to check if I was okay or not," Rain declared. Silver brimmed her eyes… Hiei just stood there dumbstruck… Rain backed up and her hand found the doorknob. She turned and her body temperature rose to melt the snow away. With her pendant, she sprouted wings and flew away from the doorway…

Hiei stood there and looked at the door while the snow fluttered in gently. He was transfixed by what the female Youkai had just told him…

"Hiei, I'll go talk to her…" said a old woman's voice from behind him.

"What can you possibly say that would make her think different?" he asked coldly looking at the brown eyed woman. She disappeared and Hiei sighed in despair.


Once Rain reached the forest, she sat on a tree branch. Burying her face in her hands she cried softly. Why couldn't she have been nicer to the fire demon? Why couldn't she have heard his side of the story? Hiei was just looking out for her safety and she had tossed it in his face… she wished she could get away…

Suddenly, a presence beside her on the branch brought Rain's eyes away from her hands. It was an older woman. Possibly in her mid-fifties, she had faded pink hair and brown eyes. "Wh-who are you?" Rain managed.

"My name's Genkai…" the lady replied.

"Why are you here?"

"Koenma asked if I would talk to you… he says you like someone but he doesn't understand why, or how for that matter," came Genkai's gravel-like reply. Rain rolled her eyes and looked over the snow. 'Everyone in Spirit World must know!' she raged mentally. "Why Hiei, child? Why'd you pick the Forbidden Child? Why not Kurama or someone like that?" questioned the elderly woman. Rain just shook her head. "Alright, why not Kurama?"

"Yoko's attempts to kill me are a good reason," the angel demon mumbled. Genkai rose her eyebrows and nodded in agreement… the uncomfortable silence returned… "You're not going to leave are you…" stated rather than asked Rain.

"No," answered Genkai with a slight smirk directed at nothing in particular. The silence visited once more…

"I wouldn't be able to fight anymore if Hiei hadn't fixed my knuckles…" said Rain, holding her right hand up. The coating on it was a steely grey. Genkai nodded and waited for more…


Silver: Hopefully that wasn't a weak comeback but heck! Anyways, I already have the second chapter written and I just need to type and post! Byes...

Todd: By ladies...

Silver: You flirt! -.-'
