Ashira looked up at her father for reassurance as they walked slowly
through the dark Makai forest towards the hideout of the thieves. She
wasn't afraid to go there with her father until her mother had made such an
uproar about the whole situation. Her father, Ashori, however didn't seem
to be surprised by her reaction at all, in fact he seemed to put the
tantrum aside.
Ashori had decided to meet with the leader of the thieves and establish a proposition. Ashori was a wealthy man and to prevent frequent robberies on his wealth, he decided to pay off the thieves, preventing any confrontation with them. He knew that his widespread wealth would attract the attention of any with a greedy eye.
Out of the corner of his dark grey eyes he spotted his daughter's lighter grey ones peering up at him. Smiling down at her, he picked up his little daughter. His daughter, at the age of eight, could finally disguise her demon form in full, by making her dragon-like ears disappear. Of course, she was no dragon. She had inherited her traits from his family. He came from a long line of sirens living in Greece. His mother was a full- blooded siren yet ended up marrying a non-siren youkai and he was the product. Being half siren himself gave him their powers anyway, yet the male sirens powers differed from the females. Male sirens couldn't use their voices to charm others; instead they had friendliness about them that everyone liked. Along with that friendliness, no siren's song could charm him into a trance.
Sighing to himself he smiled down at her and picked her up from the ground and into his arms. His dark bangs momentarily covering his face as they headed through the forest.

"I want all you jackasses to be on your best behavior when Ashori gets here! He's paying us more than what we could get in three outings. Screw it up, and I'll have your heads!" The leader yelled to his men. He gave some specific men a glare, knowing a few of them to be particularly good at screwing up. His eyes rested on Hiei for a few moments, the ten year old hardly paying attention with his crimson eyes averted to the ground. He knew that Hiei didn't like strangers and hoped that the little fire youkai wouldn't do anything rash. Even though Hiei was only ten, he was one the most merciless and powerful men he had.
His eyes averted to the door as a large knock resounded from it repeatedly. He nodded to the guards, who opened the door slowly, so that all could get a glance at the stranger. A smile came to his face as he saw Ashori, but the smiled turned to a look of surprise upon seeing the young girl in his arms. Ashori set Ashira down as he nodded to the leader. The leader strode to Ashori with a warm smile, "Konnichiwa Ashori-san!" He smiled knowing that his example would be the law to follow while Ashori was present.
Looking down at Ashira he smiled and kneeled down to her eye level, "Who's this Ashori?" he asked glancing up at him.
"This is my youngest, Ashira."
The leader smiled and patted her head before standing with a glare to all the men eyeing her as if they wanted to eat the cute little eight year old. Ashira looked to her father, eyes asking him if she could explore. He nodded but warned her, "Be careful, I can't trust every one of them. She nodded her head in thanks and ran off into the mass of thieves. She looked about, not liking strangers; especially those who were nowhere close to her own age. Ashori stared after his daughter for a moment before leaving with the thief leader to talk.
The rest of the thieves went off to do what they well pleased, ignoring the small girl as it was dangerous to defy their leader. Ashira looked about slowly for something interesting. Oddly enough that something came in the form of a someone, whom Ashira spotted near the back wall. Unfortunately for Hiei, that someone happened to be him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Me: So what do you think? This is my first posting of a story on ff.net... I suppose I should have put something up sooner.
Hiei: Hn, you've been writing that other one long enough at school.
Me: Hiei, that's for later!
Hiei: How many stories 'till that one becomes existent on here?
Me: Depends... I think maybe four before that one comes up...
Hiei: Your ningen friends stalk you for that one.
Me: Maybe I corrupted them with it, I have to rate that one R.
Hiei: What's this one rated?
Me: It's pretty cutesy right now... I suppose as they get older ratings will go up.
Hiei: Hn.
Me: Okay people! Please Review!!
Hiei: It's simple; Review or die.
