    Migi looked at Kenta, grinning prodding, showcasing his two rows of white teeth that glimmered with the cheap and hazy arcane light around them muddled by actual candlelight. “Always working out, when you’re ready to get those gains and eat nothing but chicken let me know.” But soon enough, his...

    Migi crossed his arms over his chest, leaning back in his chair. Shaking his unruly hair back from his face, Migi stared at Hiei for another moment, cool and unbothered. “Not here. Don’t worry.” Migi said easily. “He was leaving Kishi’s store as I was heading in to drop off a pouch of Herb.”...

    Migi, perhaps because he was so intent on keeping Hiei in place was exactly why Hiei was able to get out of his grip so easily. Or maybe it was because after the serving girl had set them down onto the table she had purposely winked at him, distracting him just enough so Hiei could wiggle his...

    Migi, despite being quick in a scuffle, was too slow to keep the shots to himself. Perhaps he should have ordered five, after all? He turned his head, wanting to capture the staff's attention again but paused to look back at Hiei and Kenta. “And,” Migiru added, “everyone knew Hinoka had you...

    Migi didn’t speak as Kenta and Hiei went back and forth, and instead found a serving girl and quickly ushered her over— not that she was going to keep him waiting in the first place. Ordering three green melon shots that he intended to drink all by himself, he was faintly aware of Hiei’s...

    Private Flowers are the Stars of the Earth

    Migiru was known to always be late, and the reason was always because of a woman. Whether it was a girlfriend of the month yelling at him for cheating (again) or a woman sparking his fancy for the night, if Migi was absent then it was usually because of his insatiable love for women. Young or...

    Private The Sun Doesn't Hang On One Family's Tree

    The slight chill from outside hadn't permeated into the building, but the brush of pink along Hanae's cheeks and nose hadn't yet disappeared when the storekeeper greeted her. Hanae had yet to reach the counter, transfixed by the shelves and cases that held every item one could imagine. All sorts...

    Private Flowers are the Stars of the Earth

    Hanae couldn’t speak. Words were trapped in throat as she looked up at Hiei when he moved his hand. It didn’t move lower— which she was terrified of happening because what was she supposed to do then?— but instead went to the back of her neck. She winced, shutting her eyes tightly and...

    Private Flowers are the Stars of the Earth

    Hanae’s stomach was in knots, her heartbeat erratic. Hiei stood up and she couldn’t quite look in his eyes, instead, she kept her gaze lowered. She wasn’t sure what the make of his words, of his actions— why wouldn’t he let go of her hand? It was strange, back at the clinic she had been so...

    Private Flowers are the Stars of the Earth

    Hanae waited for his pulse to speak all of Hiei's lies and truths to her. And as she expected, as much as to her own selfish delight, his pulse did quicken. Immediately after she touched him, she felt that pounding within his veins increase. Deep and steady, rolling underneath her thumb like a...

    Private Flowers are the Stars of the Earth

    Hanae’s petite head came up from where she had been looking for the pitcher of water. Her eyes were wide with surprise, but something else flashed through them briefly. Despite all of Hiei’s inward thoughts and bundle of emotions, his face was unflappable. And Hanae, despite the empathy that...

    “Very spicy,” Hanae said with an impish grin, looking over at Hiei quite mischievously. “I’ve never had anything spicier. Even mine don’t compare to the way she would make them. But there’s still that intention to burn your tongue and throat while sweating profusely.” Hanae said, pushing her...

    Private Flowers are the Stars of the Earth

    Hanae’s feet carried her to her cart, wondering why it was so easy to move right now. She hadn’t realized that with Hiei prowling behind her, people were making way to avoid him rather than her. Regardless, it was nice not to be nudged, pushed, or knocked around like a paper boat flowing down a...

    Private Flowers are the Stars of the Earth

    Hanae didn’t dare speak. She wasn’t sure words could come out even if she tried to. Or rather, she was afraid that if she did speak, the wrong words would come out. The young woman watched Shinobu, not even flinching away from him as he went to touch her hair. Some people didn’t deserve to be...

    Hanae chuckled at Hiei’s words, it would have been a bigger shock if he had agreed. And the best part was, Hanae knew exactly why the cat reminded her so much of Hiei. Cats were different than dogs, especially with how choosy they tended to be. Sometimes petting was acceptable and sometimes it...

    Private Flowers are the Stars of the Earth

    “Bye, Kishi, thank you!” Hanae called out to the dragonkin, almost about to turn her head to look over her shoulder, but she stayed still until Hiei had finished the area he was cleaning. When she did look over her shoulder, Kishi was long gone, but that was fine, and her dark gaze focused...

    Private Flowers are the Stars of the Earth

    Meaner? Like when they first met? To Hanae, Hiei was gentler than before. He had paid for her nose to be healed, meaning he must have felt guilty. Perhaps he lacked sensitivity then and wasn’t necessarily a mean person. Or did he not realize how harsh his words sounded? One would think he was a...

    Private Flowers are the Stars of the Earth

    Hanae giggled to herself, as it seemed her joke about him being eaten offended Hiei. Perhaps he disliked vampires? Or maybe it was silly for how small Hanae was. She brought her gaze over to Kishi as a word rumbled out with that periwinkle smoke. It was quite a pretty color; she couldn’t help...

    Private Flowers are the Stars of the Earth

    Hiei was right; moving her nose back in place wasn’t exactly painful. Or rather, the whole action of Kishi’s fingers moving her nose back was so quick that she hardly had time to register it. Hanae would have been fine if it had ended there, perhaps a bit sore and bruised, but she wouldn’t have...

    Hanae nodded her head as if she understood what Kishi was implying. Of course, vets would have all sorts of partners. They needed medicine, did they not? Maybe they had to confer with a botanist and an alchemist? Of course, they would also want an accountant, wouldn’t they? Perhaps a nurse or...
