Theme 23: Hands

Time: During “Bonds of Life”

Pairing: Hiei x Sha

Healer
Before I do this, I’m sorry I’m using this pair a lot. I got this idea from a Rurouni Kenshin doujin by Yamaguchirou, and it just called for it. … /runs away

Hiei leaned against the side of their apartment building, catching his breath. “Dammit…” He pulled his hand away from his shoulder, seeing the red still flowing freely. “Tricky bastards.” To make matters worse, the old wound across his stomach had started to bleed again. Add on his exhaustion of tracking the demons down for a day straight, and loss of blood during the fight, he was amazed he had gotten home.
Once he was able to push himself upright again, he went inside the lobby, quickly slipping into the elevator that would take him up to their shared space. What foolishness. And to think of what I promised for when I came back. He tried applying more pressure to the wound on his arm, but the blood still came. Tch, typical. He exited when the elevator came to his floor and pulled his key from his back pocket. Please let it be dark and have her asleep. Don’t let her see this…
To his relief, it was dark, and considering no light came from their room, she was fast asleep too. Except for when…
Their corgi Shadow began barking loudly into the darkness, alerting her to the fact someone had come through the door.
“God damn it, Dog, shut it! It’s me!” he said in a forceful whisper, flinching from the pressure it put on his stomach. “Fucking hell.”
The dog gave one last quiet bark before settling back down on his pillow. To Hiei’s relief, no noise came from the bedroom that said she had woken up. Trying to not drip onto the floors, he carefully entered the room and went to go get the bandages in the bathroom.
“Ah, so you’re finally home.”
He froze in the doorway of the bathroom, right as he was about to flick on the lights. He didn’t let himself sound weakened. “Yeah, sorry it’s so late.” With his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he could see her quite well on the bed. He could see her even better as she knelt up and let the sheets fall, showing she had gone to bed with nothing on. Dammit all to fucking hell.
“So, a promise is a promise. You said when you came home, the rest of the night you were mine.” She curled her finger at him, and he had no choice but to go along with the act. Luckily, she couldn’t see as well as he could at that point.
He dropped his sword on the floor next to the bed as he knelt next to her on it. “I know what I said but—“
“But nothing. You swore it.”
“And I intend to fulfill by my promise. But not now.” He didn’t see it coming, when she flipped him onto his back and she sat atop his hips. He couldn’t suppress the hiss that escaped past his lips.
This made her snap out of her act. “Is something wrong? Did you get hurt at all on this mission?” She placed a hand on his shoulder, but pulled it back when she touched something wet. “Hiei, answer me now. Did you get hurt?”
“Jus-Just a bit.” He attempted a smile, to assure her he was all right, but a wave of pain enveloped him, unable to allow him that motion.
She scrambled out of bed and turned on the light, getting her first glance to the extent of his injuries. Her eyes widened. “How the hell did you even make it home?” She knelt by his side of the bed, tucking her hair behind her small pointed ears as she summoned healing energies to her hands. “It looks like you were stabbed through as they tried to take your arm off…”
“Correct theory. But they didn’t make it further.” He looked over at her and saw a tear fall down her face. “And what’s with the tears? I’m all right now.”
She turned to him, a vicious look on her face, one that would’ve made him move back if it weren’t for his current situation. “Se-ion ma’ay! You idiot man! You could have died! How do you think I’d take that news in the morning?”
“But I didn’t die. I’m fine now.” He tried to reach out and touch her face but she smacked his hand away and got up.
“That isn’t the point. Demon or not you could have been killed if they pulled that sword the other way. And don’t you dare say ‘But I didn’t’, it doesn’t matter! You worry me half to death when you leave on these missions, and here we see the perfectly good reason why!”
He had been able to suppress his anger well recently. After finding the woman before him, he had very little reason to despise the worlds and their inhabitants. But now… He stood next to her. “I have been killing things and people for far longer than you have! Ever since I was a child I have been killing to survive! And need I remind you, I’m still twice your age!”
“It doesn’t—”
“Yes it does matter, now shut up and listen to me!” He saw the shock in her eyes, and he calmed down a slight degree. “Sha, you should understand more than anyone else what it means to kill to survive. You should understand me better than anyone. You lived my life, for the most part. Your reasons for killing were different, and you stopped when you reached your goal, but still, you walked the same path I did. For a time.” He sat down again. “My reasons are different now than it was back then, but it’s still generally the same thing. I hunt down the wayward demons for us. Not just my own personal amusement, or something to keep me entertained. I don’t know anything else apart from being a murderer; I wasn’t taught anything else. I have no educational background, I know nothing about math or sciences. I only know the art of assassination.” He looked up at her again. “And so if I can use that to help us out with getting our lives started, it’s what I’ll do. Risks of dying or not.”
She smiled and moved to sit behind him on the bed, once more healing his leaking wounds. “I suppose I overreacted. You are doing this for our benefit. I just can’t help but ask myself at times why I’ve fallen in love with such an idiot. I mean, I can’t help you at all while you’re gone. I can only wait.”
He laughed. “You do help me. Much more than you know.”
She stopped her healing to stare at her hand, now stained with his blood. “It’s amazing that I can do what I can with these hands. For so long, they belonged to a cold-blooded killer. And now…”
He covered hers with his. “Mine are no different. I’d kill for just the fun of it. I had no set goal, as you did. It’s even harder for me to believe I can do the things I do with you, with the same hands that killed countless over the many years I’ve been alive.”
She smiled into his neck as she leaned forward, moving on to close the scars on his stomach back up. “We are two of a kind, huh?”
“It’s an odd match, but it lasts, and will continue to last.” He continued staring at his hands. “But with you by me, I have a purpose for what I do, and for that, I can become a stronger man to protect you… and a child, if that happens in the future.”
“Ha, keep it in the present for now. We have Shadow, that’s all we need in that sense for now.” She pulled back, leaning over his good shoulder to look. “All right that should just about do it. Just no jumping jacks for awhile.”
“Wasn’t planning on it.” He turned to face her once more. “So I’m assuming you want me to fulfill my promise still?”
She pretended to think it over. “Nah, we can hold off until you’re healed. And when your stamina is back in full. You look exhausted.”
He breathed a sigh of relief and fell against his pillow. “Gods, that’s the best news I’ve heard all night.” He held his hand up to block the pillow she threw at him from her side. “What?”
“Get some rest for now, okay? And don’t come home like that again. You really scared me.”
“I promise. Never again. You get some sleep too, we could both use it.”
She nodded and turned off the main lights, plunging the room into darkness again. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard her say, “You didn’t bleed all over the floor did you?”
