Neko here! So due to a review.. I've decided to write a little filler/one shot chapter. This takes place in the time between Chapter 14 and Chapter 15. As this is an idea sparked from a review (thanks to Child-of-Strength) this isn't something that wasn't originally written until after the review.
Also Black Roses Fillers.. is gonna have any one shots that connect to Black Roses Rewrite. So it'll be updated at random times (aka when I have one to add in).
Disclaimer: Nope don't own YHH, kinda wondering who would write a fan fic for something they own since they could just make it cannon. I do however own Autumn and Yoshi.
Hiei entered the hotel room and headed to the room he shared with Kurama and shifted the girl in his arms to were he could open the door again. As he walked in, he felt the girl nuzzle against his shoulder and he glanced at her. It was clear she was out completely, so he didn't feel the need to be as guarded as he normally was. He walked over and placed her on his bed, settling her in over the covers before he turned to leave. Only he found a hand tightly holding his arm and he looked to the girl to see her half open eyes. "What girl?" He asked coldly.
Aut, who wasn't really awake, just tugged on Hiei's arm and muttered "Don't go."
Hiei looked at the girl like she was an idiot before he noticed her eyes had closed before her mutter. Sitting on the bed next to the girl, he felt her shift and seemed to snuggle against him. Feeling a weight on his thigh, he looked down to see her head resting on him. Lightly he brushed the hair from her face. 'Such a weird girl.' He thought as he watched her sleeping face as he leaned back against the headboard of the bed.
He watched her as he had unconsciously started to run his fingers through her hair. Even when he did notice what he was doing, he didn't stop.. after all nobody was around and he noticed she relaxed more as he played with her hair. A feeling of her belonging to him, not that he could figure out why but it was just something he felt and it annoyed him. After all he is the forbidden child and wasn't meant to have anyone who belonged to him. Sighing he looked out the window as he played with the girls hair.
A soft giggle was heard which startled Hiei as he looked around before he saw a large black dragon that watched a young Autumn play with a group of kids at a park. It was clear none could see the dragon, or if they did they didn't give any sign of it. Slightly he wondered what he was seeing, it made no sense to him.. at least until he saw the young Autumn seemed to have stopped playing to look up at where the dragon was. He saw the smile appear on her face before he realized that he was in her dream.
Young Aut giggled and wave to the dragon and when she was asked what she was waving at by the other kids she replied "To the dragon up there." She pointed at the dragon that watched her unseen by the others.
One of the older kids said "There isn't anything there liar."
Aut rolled her eyes and replied "I'm not a liar! You just can't see anything because you are an idiot."
The kid pushed Aut and said "I'm not an idiot you baby."
Aut whimpered softly as she fell on the ground before she called out "Big brother!"
A younger Yusuke jogged over having saw his sister get pushed and he glared at the older kid. "That's my little sister you idiot." He said before he punched the kid that started a fight between the two boys.
A younger Keiko came over and knelt next to the sniffling Aut and hugged her before helping her up. "Autumn-chan what happened?" she asked.
Aut sniffled before she said "He pushed me for no reason."
The dragon that was in the air flew down angrily to wrap protectively around the young Aut, who shivered slightly yet also seemed to stop sniffling. It was clear she felt the protectiveness from the dragon from how she seemed to calm down.
Hiei stood there watching the scene play out, it surprised him that she could see the dragon and even sense the dragon. Not as much as her being so calm about it and even then calling someone an idiot just for them calling her a liar. For some reason he felt a bit proud that she didn't cry despite the fact that she only looked to be three or four years old. As he was musing he didn't see the Urameshi's siblings mother come and break things up before leaving. At least until it went black.
Hiei blinked and opened his eyes, having not noticed that he had fallen asleep while playing with Aut's hair. He glanced down at the girl to see her still asleep but curled up in a ball against his side. He saw a tear slip down her face, lightly he brushed it away and stroked her hair as he saw her calm down a bit. Softly he said "It's only a dream, Aut." Not that he knew why he felt the need to comfort her from a dream but he blamed it on the lingering feelings from the time he used the dragon or darkness flames last.
But even so he couldn't help but wish to hold her, as he sensed nobody was in the hotel room, he moved the girl so she was on his lap. His arms wrapped around her as he felt her cuddle against his chest. He felt her breath on his throat as her head rested on his shoulder, his body relaxed as his fingers moved went through her hair. He glanced at her before he thought 'How interesting that she relaxes so quickly just by being held.' Slightly he tensed up as he felt her nuzzle his neck and softly he growled at her but he did relax quickly after she returned a soft growl.
As time went on, Hiei noticed the change in Aut's breathing and he shifted her back to the bed and moved to the window to sit.
Aut softly groaned as she was moved but she just curled up in the spot were Hiei had sat on the bed unknowingly. She blinked as she woke with another groan as her head was pounding before she quickly got up and went to the bathroom and threw up.
Hiei looked over to watch the girl before he heard her being sick, he stood up and grabbed a cup of water and took it to the bathroom for her. "You should rest more." He said as he leaned on the door frame.
Aut wiped her mouth as she stood up and took the cup of water from him and washed her mouth out with the water. Coughing slightly she glanced at Hiei as she took a sip of water, "I will.. my head is pounding though. Don't suppose you're anything like Kurama and know how to make something to make the pounding to stop?"
Hiei watched her before he said "Nope, I could go get him if you want." Not that he really wanted to bring the fox into the room when it was clear Aut wasn't up for company.
Aut shook her head before she gripped the sink and closed her eyes. "Bad move." She muttered before she felt Hiei next to her and she leaned against him. She let him lead her back to the bed and sat on it when prompted to. "So what happened? I don't really remember anything after telling Kuwabara that Yukina was watching." She kept her eyes close as her hands moved up to brush her hair back from her face.
Hiei stood next to the bed and watched the girl who sat on it before he said "We won, you passed out, I brought you back here and you've been sleeping." He didn't tell her anything that happened while she was out. It wasn't like she needed to know that she had dragged him into a dream or that he had let his guard down so much to get dragged into a dream.
"Well that's good." Aut said as she felt the spiny feeling in her head disappear, it had happened as she had nodded. She opened her eyes to look at him before she asked "Can we go for a walk? I need some fresh air." If she wasn't out of energy or still had a pounding headache, she wouldn't have asked but as she was basically defenseless.. she needed a guard with her.
A smile came to Aut's face as she sat next to Hiei on a cliff that over looked the ocean. The fresh air and quietness made it easier for her to focus on her breathing to help get her head to stop hurting. It was clear what she was doing as neither of them spoke much, she felt an energy attempt to surround them but it failed as she felt Hiei's energy rise up. Her eyes turned to see Ruka standing near by with an angry look on her face. Slightly she tilted her head to the side, "Pissed about my energy bypassing yours?"
Ruka stared at the two who had made her loose the respect of others, she had wanted to trap them and make their team loose but apparently something had changed. It appeared the male had grown stronger and was clearly more protective of the smaller female. At the words she glared at the girl, "I believe you aren't even worth the energy it would take to harm you. But making you watch your mate's death sounds good enough revenge." She said, after all it was the only reason she could think of for how the two acted.
Hiei growled and shifted to stand in front of Aut more, after all he knew she was defenseless without her spirit energy right then. "You won't be able to kill me." He said, "Really considering how a human could get past your defense with her weak energy."
Aut rolled her eyes before she said "He isn't my mate and you are way over your head." She stood up and shifted next to Hiei yet still behind him. Her eyes were dark purple and her fingers brushed against Hiei's arm at his slight nod. She felt his energy flare and she drew on it to draw out her sword that Kurama got her for her last birthday. "Even without my energy I can still kill you and that isn't including what Hiei can do."
Ruka stared at the two, she could tell the girl was basically out of energy and no threat to her. Although it was the male she had to worry about, which it slightly surprised her to learn they weren't mates. She could tell there was something between the two but not exactly what since they ruled out mates. "Please like you could even get past my defenses with that simple sword, human."
Aut smirked as she glanced at her sword before she said "Custom made to my size, weight fit to my ability.." She looked at Ruka with a smirk, "demon made with demon world material."
Hiei stared at Aut as he saw her confidence and took a peek into her mind to hear her thoughts. He raised an eyebrow as he kept his eyes on the girl, her mind was different from normal.. like it wasn't really her in control.
Aut giggled softly before she darted forward, even for a human without any spirit energy she was fast. But her eyes where lighter and more playful than they should be for how low her energy was. With slightly sloppy slice of her sword from being out of practice and not much energy, as it was her head was starting to pound again. Her sword went right past Ruka's defense and right through the arm that was raised at the last minute. With a few more quick and off placed slices, Ruka laid in pieces before she returned to Hiei's side.
Hiei stood quiet as he watched the girl kill the demoness without any emotion, sloppily yes but he took that as her needing more training with a sword. As red meet purple, he saw them a light purple and then watched them fade back to dark purple. Quickly he caught the girl as she fell forward with the sword returning to her necklace. He brushed her hair back from her face and thought 'I wonder if she has a demon soul in her that protects her when she can't.' He picked her up and returned to the hotel room and placed her in his bed again before he heard the others being back and he went to sit out in the main room.
Hope you all enjoyed this short little one shot. Yes I do know Hiei is probably a bit out of character along with Ruka but then again I tried my best to keep Hiei in the same character as he is in the main Black Rose Rewrite story.
Stayed up late just to be able to finish this so I could have this to post today. So if any mistakes are probably from writing this at 2:30am.. they'll be fixed at a later time when I review this later.
