I'm starting another story, this was in my head, and I wanted it out in the open, so that I wouldn't forget about it. This is a different alternet universe, you'll be surprise to the roles of a few characters, and some not so knew. I really hope you like it, because this story will probably be a few chapters long. Sorry I'm putting on hold the other stories, just for today, because at the moment I'm inspired to write this.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
A young girl at the age of seven stood at the bass of the field of grass, as she stared bashfully at the children that played among one another. There were tons of children her age at the park. It was a brisk day, the sun was high in the sky, The rays shining down on the ground, eliminating shadows, for cool places away from the heat. It didn't even effect the children as they continued on with their activities. Many were in the cool pool, that watered them down from the heat of the day. Will others were at the playground, reminiscing among one another, or in the field of full green healthy grass, laying in the patch of prickling grass, running with bare feet well playing tag.
Her attention was then on a boy her age, with hair the color of coal, she wasn't able to see his face as it was buried into his folded arms, that rested on his knees that were huddled to his chest. He was sitting at the bass of the Sakura tree that was in full blossom, the pink of the flowers that blended into the blue sky, the back round of the green grass. She could tell the color of his pants which was the same color of his hair, it was styled in a weird angle, spiked up. She wondered what he was doing on a wonderful day as this, curiosity got her as she walked over to the young boy.
As she walked over to him, she found that he sensed her presence as he lifted his head, she found the eye's of red rubies, and wondered if they were real. His face expression was cold, and his gaze was threatening, but that didn't stop her from sitting by the now emotionless child. She didn't expect anything to come from him, as she took her seat right next to him, she found that he was tense, as he stared away from her.
Hiei didn't know the girl with midnight black hair with blue highlights, she held the most memorizing ocean gems he's ever seen, and yet he rarely seen a girl with the same eye color. She was wearing white blouse with flower designs and a tan skirt, with white sandals. She looked like a cheerful girl, sweet, and innocent, he smirked in his mind wondering if she ever knew how cruel the world really was. He seen the smile that she gave him which shocked him, wondering if she was giving that bright warm smile to someone else. But he knew there was no one else, because he was the only one in his spot. He glared at her, warning her to stay away, but she didn't get the message as she just walked over to him, as took a seat. He tensed, as she smelt the scent of lavender with the hint of cherry from the surrounding Sakura's which he now noticed blended into her scent making it intoxicating.
She fumbled with the him of her skirt wondering how she should strike a conversation with him.
" Hello," she said in a cheerful voice well not staring at him, scared that he would be looking at her strange. She stared into the sky as clouds started to form, " My name is Kagome," she said taking her right hand and setting it right in front of him, well staring ahead.
Hiei stared awkwardly wondering why she just handed out her hand. For some reason his hand was moving on its own, as it lifted itself, and reached for her free hand, well shacking it. He groaned as he finally had control and stole his hand back. He heard her giggling as she leaned back against the trunk, well pointing to the cloudy sky.
" I love to stare into the cloudy sky and make some formation out of them . Like right there it looks like a heart," Hiei didn't look up, in which she frowned. " I guess it is boring," she said as she just continued to stare off.
Hiei felt bad for a moment, she was just trying to conversate, nothing was the matter with that, right. He then turned to the sky, she was right, the cloud was making a formation of a heart, then he seen the one next to it. " Hmm, that one looks like an arrow pointing at the heart." He seen her turning her head to him in shock at hearing him speak, then to the cloud.
" Your right, it does," she then was stumped, " What's your name," she asked not knowing if he was going to respond. She could tell by his body language, that he was frustrated, and that he didn't want to tell her.
" Hiei," he finally said after a short period of time.
She then smiled, " Where do you live," she asked again, but was cut of as an elder man, she wasn't able to see him, because he was far away, but she could tell that he was tall, and looked to be in his mid thirties.
" Hiei, it's time to go," he said coldly, with anger in his voice, and his eye's were as serious as lethal.
Kagome watched as Hiei stood fast, straight and with posture. He made his way towards the adult, with his back tense, as he staggered towards the man, she wondered if he really wanted to leave. Kagome jumped to her feet, " Bye, Hiei, it was nice meeting you," she yelled well waving her arms in the air. She watched as he turned around, glaring at her, but then she seen his intense eye's soften, well cracking an ever small smile, as his body lessened, and then he walked way. With the older man, yelling at him about something that she wasn't able to hear. But she could tell that he was scared.
She went home just after that little incident, knowing that he was imprinted in her mind, and she wondered if she was ever going to meet him again.
It was the first day at the knew school, Kagome held the gentle hand of her mother's as they made their way into the quiet big school. Kagome walked with her mother into her appropriate class, she clung to her mother's dress as they walked into a full active class. The teacher noticed them, and made her way towards them with her long silky black, she gazed down at Kagome with a soft look, and a gentle smile.
" You must be Kagome Higurashi," she said then started talking to her mother. Kagome stared aimlessly around the room, she found other student's staring back at her, then she found someone she never thought she was going to see. He was at a table by himself, well playing with dark blocks, his attention was only on what he was doing.
" You may pick her up after 3," she heard the teacher say, as she pulled away from the safety of her mother, and stared at the depressed boy. Her mother gently touched her shoulder as she turned around.
" I'll be back later, Kagome," she said as she kissed her on the temple, " Be good." With that said she walked out of the class room, as the teacher bent down.
" It's free time now, and you may play with whom ever you like, I'll be over there if you need anything," she said nicely well walking away.
Kagome looked back at the boy she thought of as a friend, and made her way towards him. He appeared more distressed then the day she meet him. His skin completion was paler then before, his hair was a mess today, and his eye's were hollow, as if something was wrong. She took a seat by him, he didn't move, and then she started to get scared. He looked so serious, his frame was small then any ordinary seven year old, and his clothing was some what torn, it appeared as if he was thrown around in a washer. He seemed like he was broken, and had a sense of loss.
She seen his small hands on the table, well balled into a fist. She wanted to cry, not knowing why, but took his hand into her's, trying to give her friend warmth from his cold hands. He then seemed like he was coming to reality, then he noticed her there. He was shocked, as he seen her hand on top of his, he snatched his hand away from hers, stood, and walked way. Leaving a now sobbing Kagome, wondering what was really happening to him.
From that day on, he stayed away from her, not wanting anything to do with her. He watched as it was play time. They were out side, he sat at the bench, far away from the group of girls that snickered, and giggled about idiotic things, away from the brainless boys that played tag, and talking about how girls were disgusting. Away from everyone, especially her, the little girl that effected him so much. He watched as she sat at the far end of the play ground with a red head boy.
His name was Shuichi Minamino, he had short red hair, as the color of fire. Everyone liked him, he was a sweet, polite, and fun kid. He was the teacher's pet, a know it all, and someone he tried to stay away from. Every now and then, Shuichi would talk to him, but he wouldn't respond, then the emerald boy would leave, making him even happier for the solitude.
As he watched her giggle, obviously from something the stupid red head said, he seen her lighten up. Her dimples that formed when she smiled. The brightness in her ocean gems, the way her body shook from her laughter, how he wished it was him she was laughing with. He quickly removed the thought from his head, as he went back to his little spot by the tree, in the shade, in the shadow.
Kagome giggled as the boy Shuichi was telling her a joke, as she quieted down, she found that she was staring at the boy with black hair. She frowned remembering why she was sad just a little bit ago. Her eye's sadden watching as his back was facing her, well making his way back to a tree, and disappearing into the shade, blending into the darkness.
She was snapped out of her thoughts as she felt a hand on her shoulder's bringing her to reality.
" Kagome-chan did you hear me, do you want to play tag with me and the others," said Shuichi with a warm smile, that made her return a gesture, well almost all the students in her class stood behind him encouraged her to play. She smiled, well nodding her head and went to play with her new friends.
It was lunch time, and Kagome sat with her knew friends, Sango a girl that appeared to be rough, who brought pain to only boys, she was a girl with blackish brown hair, and chocolate eye's. Beside her was chestnut brown haired girl, with light brown eye's. Her name was Keiko, and she was a short tempered person, with fist of fiery, but was friendly as well when making knew friends. Along side her was a girl with Baby blue hair, and ruby eye's, she was shy, timid, but otherwise sweet, and to the right of her was known other then the bubbly, loud, obnoxious Botan, she had blue hair and eye's to match.
Kagome loved them, they were so nice, they got along with one another, and they just loved to play. That was what got Kagome into their group, they played so much that they had to pull her to sit with them.
She turned and realized that Hiei wasn't sitting by himself, but with Shuichi, she found it kind of funny how Shuichi was talking calmly to Hiei, and how Hiei was getting angry. Then it appeared that Scuichi got the message, because he left.
She returned to her lunch, pondering if she would talk to him, its been weeks since that last incident, and she was a little worried.
Hiei sat in his seat, as it was time to return home. He watched as the other children waited patiently for their parents, he just frowned wondering how it would be to have a normal family. With a mother, a father, and siblings. He didn't have any of that, no he was a foster child. Roaming from house to house, but in this family he is in is worse then any other place he has been. He watched as the girl with black and blue hair jumped from her seat as she seen her mother coming from the door. She ran to her and enveloped her into a hug, he frowned wondering how a hug feels like.
Just then he seen the person that gave him ominous glare, his black eye's that held anger, and darkness. Hiei could tell he was drunk by his appearance, and knew that when he got home, he was going to get is usual beating. Hiei didn't show emotion, he didn't have to, because there was no emotion for him to show. He was hollow, he was dark, he was a monster, he was reminded everyday and night, why he was abandon, and alone.
The man with black hair as darkness, with his eye's as the color of red. He had a mean look on his face, he was white and pale, his skin was somewhat rough from all the drinking through the years, and his clothes were casual.
Kagome seen a scary man walking into the room, he stood behind her mother. She had a reason to be scared, everything about him was dark, and ominous, as if he could kill you in his presence. She felt as her mother jerked her to the door, biding that they were leaving. She still was staring at the odd man, as her mother continued to pull her, and then she seen Hiei walking up to the man, with shocked eye's, she then knew that it was his father.
Just as the door shut behind her, she wondered if he was the reason as to why Hiei has been depressed.
Hiei walked to the man he called father, even though he wasn't it was respectful to call the person that was taking care of you by the name of a parent. He looked up into intense eye's, just then the teacher came up to the both of them.
" Mr. Onigumo do you have a minute, I was wondering if I could speak to you." She said with a serious tone, that indicated that it was necessary, and that she wouldn't take no for an option. The man raised an eye brow at her, then nodded his head as she lead him away from the boy, so that it was privacy. Hiei wondered why they wanted to talk, but decided other wise. There was nothing bad that he did, he did his work, answered questions when asked, participated in everything when needed, but never interacted with the other children when it was personal. He liked his distance, and loved being alone, not having to worry about no one.
The red eyed black haired adult brought the parent into the hallway, so that the other children weren't able to hear. " Mr. Onigumo, may I ask why your child comes to school looking as if he was chewed on by a wild dog," she asked. She was giving him a look of impatient.
He shrugged his shoulders, " How do I know, kids these day's just love to roll in dirt, and play roughly, why can't he." He said, as if that was the best excuse he could come up with.
" I'm very concern with his living conditions, he comes to school everyday with the same clothes, he looks like he never is bath, and he comes in with bruises that are easy to see. I'm worried for him, I don't know if there from causes of activeness or from child endangerment."
His eye's stared at her, wide, and in shock. " Kagura, do you honestly think that I hit my own child," he said with aggression. She stepped closer to him, right in his face, with her face expression that explain that she wasn't afraid of him.
" I don't care if you think that I'm applying to you, or anyone else, I know full will that its you, Naraku," she said by going with first name basis. " But mark my word if I see another bruise on him, I swear I will report you to the authorities, where they will take you some place so that you wont hurt him anymore." She pulled away from him, and masking her face with a pleasant smile, " As well my husband, he'll make sure you'll be put with people you'll regret to meet." She said, and walking away from the angered parent.
Naraku walked back into the room, looked at the boy he was in charge of, he smirked he would take his anger out on him. He walked to the boy, as his head shot up, he could see that he was in trouble, and this time it was going to be worse then usual. He stood well looking to the ground, as they walked out of the school.
" Do you want to know why your teacher wanted to talk to me," Naraku asked curious as to what the boy had to say.
Hiei didn't know what the subject was, he shook his head, knowing that if he talked then he would possible be hit.
Naraku stopped in his tracks, as they were by the parking lot. " You really don't know," he asked in a sarcastic voice, he then looked at the boy, he knew he was suppressing his emotions, of course he was, because he knew that he would be punish, well now was the time. He took his hand back, and smacked the boy hard across the face, the sound echoed through the trees, as the boy slammed against to hard ground.
Kagome stood in front of the car, as her mother fumbled through her purse, trying to find the keys. Just as her mother pulled out the key's, Kagome seen Hiei standing with the scary man in by the parking lot. She pulled on her mother's vest, trying to get her attention. " Okasan, that's the boy from the park, the one that is in my class."
Kikyo shout her head up, into the direction of the child her daughter was indicating. There standing over the cowering child was known other then Naraku, the man she long forgotten from high school. She then seen the most outrageous thing anyone would do to a child. He smacked the black haired boy across the face so hard, even she was able to hear it. She watched as her daughter sprinted to her friend, and she followed worried for the safety of her child and the other boy.
