Here it is people! The first chapter of the sequel! I hope I didn't keep you guys waiting too long! Enjoy as always and please review for my sake. Lol
This chapter takes place the same day, but the next takes place three months after this chapter. It sets everything in motion. I like to just jump into action. Mwhahaha!
Later that Night…Genkai's Temple…
Everyone had gone to bed. The sheer mental and physical exhaustion was just too overwhelming. Hatorra watched her mate sleep peacefully beside her. She listened to his soft breathing for a while before slowly rising from the bed and walking out of the room. She crept down the stairs and into the living room. It was dark, but she knew her way. She passed through the living room and out the back door. She scanned the woods in the prickly air and sniffed.
"I smelt you hours ago when you entered the Ningenki. What are you doing here? How did you get passed the guards?" she asked the darkness.
A large grey wolf approached her out of the darkness, his gold eyes boring through her green ones. She watched the wolf transform into that of a man with black eyes. The man smirked.
"Well at least your senses haven't left you," he said in a low growl.
Hatorra stared at her father. She wasn't afraid so much as she was unsure. In her future she killed him. But now that future was changed.
"What are you doing here?" she asked again, firmer this time.
Her father looked up at a window in the temple.
"I know it's late…but I came to see my granddaughter," he said.
Hatorra's eyes widened and a low growl emitted from her throat. Her father chuckled.
"I know I waited three years, but I figured it was now or never. With Enma dead, the Reikai is in disarray and the Makai is dealing with the fallout, so guarding a barrier isn't a priority. Also, I thought you'd might have wanted time to prepare," he said and Hatorra frowned.
"Prepare for what?" she snapped.
"For me to take her away from you," he said calmly.
Hatorra's eyes immediately changed to gold and she growled venomously.
"You will not touch her," she said dangerously low.
Her father chuckled again and took a step closer to the temple. Hatorra stood firmly in her place by the door.
"Take another step and I'll rip your throat out," she snarled.
She took a mental note of everyone's condition in the temple. Genkai was away from her temple on a trip to see a friend of hers, but her father was an easy S class so it was good Genkai wasn't there. The guys were pretty banged up. Their ki were low and they wouldn't be able to fight at their peak. She realized he picked an opportune time to come. Not to mention the children were there.
Speaking of children.
"Aunt Torra?" Daisuke questioned sleepily by the door.
Hatorra's ears pricked up and her dad licked his lips.
"Aunt? Who is this?" he asked sniffing the air.
"Oh a Kitsune breed I see. Who exactly is in that temple?" he asked curiously.
"Who is this guy Aunt Hatorra?" Daisuke asked curiously.
"Go back inside Dai!" she yelled, but it was too late.
Her father took the time to attack. He was in his wolf form in a second and charging. Hatorra cursed under her breath and transformed.
No!" Daisuke screamed as the two wolves collided, teeth bared and snapping.
He backed up quickly and tripped. His hand reached out and hit the floor before the rest of his body. Suddenly, a thin blade of grass shot out and sliced the grey wolf right below the eye shocking him.
The white wolf took advantage and caught him by the throat and brought him down quickly about to bite down when she became distracted. She glanced up seeing how the backyard had transformed. The grey wolf knocked her off and took off into the woods, disappearing into the darkness.
"Aunt Torra?" Daisuke mumbled scared.
Hatorra transformed back into her human form and stared up and around wide eyed. The blades of grass had grown long and sharp. She was lucky none grew where she stood. Vines had crept off the house and hung low by Daisuke, almost shielding him. Daisuke stood up and the vines retreated.
"Aunt Torra?" he called and she looked at him then.
People came running out of the house.
"What's going on out here?" Kat called kneeling own to her son.
Kurama stared at the once short blades of grass in shock. He looked at Hatorra. He went to proceed towards her, but she held out her hand.
"They're sharp," she said quickly.
Hiei stepped out of the house slightly dazed with a sleepy Kasei around his neck. Daisuke hugged his mom tightly.
"The grey wolf attacked aunt Torra," he said nervously.
Hiei's sleepiness faded quickly.
"Your father was here?" he asked alertly.
Hatorra nodded. Kurama sniffed the air.
"He's long gone now. I can barely smell any traces of him," he said just as alert.
Hatorra wanted to go back to the temple, but the blades surrounded her protectively. She smiled at Daisuke.
"I'm fine now Dai. Can you lower the blades please?" she asked and Kasei looked down at Daisuke.
"You did that Dai?" she asked and Daisuke nodded unsurely.
"I think so," he said and put his hand to the dirt.
The blades retreated and became short again. Kat and Kurama stared at their son with a mixture of shock and awe. Hatorra walked over to them and Hiei lifted her chin quickly.
"It's just a scratch," she tried, but one look from him silenced her.
"Mommy, you're bleeding," Kasei said nervously.
Hatorra smiled at her.
"I'm okay Kas," she said and Kas grinned.
"Daisuke, why don't you take Kasei back to bed? We'll take care of things from here," Kat said and Daisuke nodded and left with Kasei.
When they were out of sight they turned to Hatorra.
"What was he doing here?" Hiei asked.
Hatorra shook her head.
"He said he came for Kasei. He wants to take her away," she said and Hiei's eyes widened slightly.
"Why?" Kat asked horrified.
Hatorra shook her head.
"I don't know. Did he ever need a reason?" she asked.
"How did he even get here?" Kat asked confused.
"With Enma dead this was the perfect opportunity to slip by unnoticed," Kurama said quietly.
"We'll all keep an eye out and tell the others, but I don't believe he'll be back here tonight. He's going to want to be surer of his surroundings," Kurama deduced.
Hatorra nodded and headed inside with Hiei behind her. In their room she headed into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Her neck had scratch marks on it. They were bleeding, but not badly. She was also covered in dirt. She sighed as Hiei walked into the bathroom.
"I need a shower," she said pulling off her shirt.
Hiei watched her carefully.
"He's going to be a problem," he said after a small silence.
Hatorra nodded.
"I'll deal with him," she tried, but Hiei shook his head.
"He believes he can just take Kasei from us. We'll all have to deal with him," he said and Hatorra nodded.
She faced her mate and smiled.
"Want to take a shower with me?" she asked coyly.
Hiei smirked.
She doesn't even seem fazed.
She 'helped' him with taking his clothes off and soon they were in the shower. The hot water created steam within the room and encased them in it. Hatorra closed her eyes as the hot water tickled her skin. She smiled when soft lips pressed against her neck. Soon they connected with hers in a passionate kiss. When they pulled away he touched her cheek gently.
"My father said that there is fallout in the Demon and Spirit World because of Enma's death," she said in a whisper.
Hiei nodded slowly.
"I would expect as much. He ruled the Reikai for many years. Now all that power is being transferred to his son, who rules differently. It will take getting used to from both worlds," he said quietly.
Hatorra bit her lip and looked away. Hiei brought her chin back up.
"What is it?" he asked softer than usual.
"Do you think there will be rebellion?" she asked and Hiei realized where she was going with it.
"You think killing Enma will bring war?" he asked and she looked at him.
"My father may not be our only problem," she said and Hiei leaned his head against hers.
They stood like that for a while before a knock on the bathroom door caught their attention.
"Mommy? Daddy? I can't sleep," called a small voice.
Hatorra smiled and Hiei moved so that she could exit the shower. She wrapped a towel around herself and walked outside.
"What's wrong Kas?" she asked the sleepy little girl.
"I had a bad dream," the little girl mumbled.
Hatorra chuckled and nodded.
"Go wait for us in bed. We'll be right in," she said and Kas grinned and ran to her parent's bed.
Hatorra walked back into the bathroom as Hiei walked out. He saw Kasei snuggled in their bed and looked at Hatorra.
"She had a nightmare," she shrugged and Hiei rolled his eyes as he walked towards the bed.
Hatorra finished getting dressed in the bathroom and walked out heading to the bed. She smiled warmly. Hiei was passed out on the bed his arm draped protectively around the green eyed little girl. Kasei was snuggled close to her dad and fast asleep. Hatorra crawled into the bed and soon fell asleep with them.
