鬼 Forbidden Daughter 棄

Prologue

At the castle doors and walls shouts could be heard,

"This child cannot be born!"

"We must kill Mukuro to destroy the child!"

Up On the highest room of the castle Hiei watched from the balcony. Hiei's white worn out bandaged arms crossed in front of his chest, his crimson eyes narrowed as much as his Jagan did. A cold breeze blew through his clothes. His midnight black, shredded Cloak flapped quickly in the sudden wind and slowed down to just a gentle wave. The smell of Rain was in the air, but so was the thirst for blood and anger.

"Hn... It would be easy just to kill them all with my Dragon Of Darkness Flames," Hiei mumbled to himself.

But the damn King doesn't allow what he calls "slaughter" He's too damn afraid that it might cause war he thought looking at the demons of all kinds of shapes, sizes and colors climbing the walls and falling or actually making it only to meet their death on the other side

Why do they want my child killed? We have done nothing to deserve this Do they since something I don't? Or Are we to blind to feel something is wrong? Hiei closed his eyes casually, turned around as he unfolding his arms and walked across the balcony. His cloak flowing gently behind him walking up to the already open doors, which enters into a deem room that had no lighting at the moment.

The room had maroon red carpeting, bed sheets, and even the beds silken canapé. The only thing that wasn't maroon red was the walls, as they were cold dark gray bricks. Hiei closed the wood framed glass doors behind him, because weather was getting nasty. He looked up seeing Mukuro in front of a huge mirror that was being held by a dark stained oak dresser desk that was matching the wood frame of the bed and it's tall poles that was holding the silk-sheeted canapé. Mukuro's orange-red fiery hair suddenly flowed over her shoulders from putting her hands behind her head under her hair, and gracefully pushed her hands to the sides making her hair flow gently out from within her shirt. She had been growing it out for five years since the tournament. Hiei noticed she was dressed in clothing that was different from what she usefully wares. Mukuro's face was serious as she put on her fingerless leather gloves. The sound of stretching leather could be heard as she moves her fingers then clinched her hand tightly in front of her face.

"Mukuro... you're not going to be able to settle things down outside... just make things worse," said Hiei mumbling the last couple words in a calm emotionless voice.

"I'm going... they're pissing me off and apparently, King Enma isn't fast enough to send help to cool things down out here," said Mukuro fitting her other glove to her hand and looked at Hiei from the corner of her ice cold blue eye.

Hiei narrows his eyes, mad that she will not listen and then smirked. Hiei casually closed his eyes and walked to the big wooden door and leaning against it, crossing his worn out bandaged arms and putting one foot behind him on the door and looked up at Mukuro with a playful expression. Mukuro narrowed her eye at him and took a couple steps towards him.

"You know better than to get in my way," she said in a deep serious tone. Hiei's eyes became mean as he uncrossed his arms setting them to his sides making them disappear under his cloak and pushed himself off the door standing dominantly looking up at her, he has grown taller but his nose only goes up to her chin.

"I don't under estimate your power Mukuro, but you're not the only one that would go down there if you did," he said his eyes darting from her stomach back to her face. Mukuro's eye kept glaring as she clenched her teeth. Hiei was right she was seven months pregnant, but didn't show all that well. Her stomach was as big as if she put a fist under her shirt against her belly. She slightly relaxed and took a deep breath closing her eye then turning her head to the left at the balcony doors and slightly opened her eye again and looking at the rattling glass doors that had water lines and streams from the rain flowing to the right because of the harsh winds. There was some silence between them. Hiei stared at Mukuro with his protective crimson eyes that glowed within the dark room. He saw her pale lips slightly part to speak.

"I know Hiei," she said quietly. After a while a small smile formed upon her pale smooth lips. "I have a feeling this child will never be in danger." Mukuro raised her leathered hand from her side and gently put it on top of the small little fist sized bump still looking out the glass doors and saw lightning flash quite a ways from here. Mukuro looked down and closed her eye. "This child is a part of you Hiei... So I know this child has the strength and will to survive through anything." Hiei's crimson eyes looked down at her hand that was on her stomach for a moment and then slowly rises up his hand as it slides out from within his cloak. He was about to put his hand on hers then he suddenly sensed something. Hiei's eyes narrow as lightning strikes closely and the dark wooden door bursts open Hiei jumped out of the way just in time, knowing something was coming.

Mukuro shot open her eye and got in a fighting position. Hiei's hands quickly go to the side of his hip as one hand holds the Sheath of his sword. The thumb popping the sword out as the other hand grabs hold of the handle of the sword just about to pull it all the way out slightly bending his knees when the Demon fell to the ground reaching out to them.

"There is to many we cannot fend back any longer... take Mukuro-sama and get out of here!..." the demon said as blood trickled out from the corners of his mouth then dropped his arm and head becoming limp.

Mukuro looks at the demon for only a few seconds before looking up narrowing her eye as anger and hatred fill them seeing the fire engulf the hallway. She takes a step only to feel a strong ruff hand grab her wrist pulling her quickly.

"HIEI!" she shouted and he made the glass doors burst open and quickly walked over to the edge of the balcony. It was down pouring hard. The fierce winds made it cold and hard to see and made his cloak whip and flap violently to the side.

"Let me go! Our People are suffering!" she shouted. Hiei whipped his head around and look at her with cruel angered narrowed eyes.

"Our people are risking their lives to save us! To save you! They wouldn't do this if they didn't care about you! They want us- four once in our miserable lives, to be happy! I love you Mukuro! And I'll take everything I have to protect you!" he shouted in a tone serious and deep. Mukuro was in shock her sky blue eye was wide her head slightly leaned back from the sudden anger Hiei had. She had never seen that kind of anger coming from him before. Mukuro's eyebrows furrowed as she starred in his eyes. Both of them rarely speak those three words to each other even though they did truly love one another.

"H-Hiei..." She tried to speak but all that could come out was his name. Hiei didn't hear her as he sensed something else coming over head.

"Were leaving!" he said in a loud voice, scooped Mukuro up and gracefully jumped on the railing of the balcony and jumped off going to the next closest part of the castle, a castle corner with a Gargoyle. Mukuro could hear Hiei's cloak flap above him and when he landed on the gargoyle gracefully, the cloak fell around them at his sides and just as he landed he dashed and disappeared jumping off falling again.

The high grassy grounds came quickly to them and he landed on his feet dust slightly flies in the air, his legs bent and slowly stood strait putting Mukuro down, grabbing her wrist and sprinting off. The Grass almost reached up to Hiei's waist as they whisked through the plains. The Rain had suddenly stopped and only cold winds now blow against them.

"We can lose them in the forest that's a couple yards away!" said Hiei with a hint of breathlessness.

"You can't get away!" Something shouted from above them. Hiei and Mukuro looked back, still running. The bat like demon swooped down, catching up with them quickly; Mukuro's eye widen.

"Hiei!"

Hiei turned his head and skids to a stop pulling Mukuro and himself hard to the ground making the bat demon miss them with its big rusted ax like club, only by inches. Both of them could feel how close that was by the sudden wind whisking against their backs. Hiei and Mukuro quickly get up and both dash seeing the forest right in front of them. The bat demon screams. Telling other demons that they were here as it swoops a turn in the air and started flying at them again. But Hiei and Mukuro jump over bushes and whacked tree branches out of the way by crossing their arms and blocking the branches from hitting their faces as they enter the "Forest Of No Return".

The bat demon almost hit the trees but swooped up in time before anything like that happened. Hiei and Mukuro kept running, jumping over dead fallen trees, roots, boulders or big rocks and bushes.

Mukuro's eye suddenly shot open wide as her pupil grew small and shouted in pain, falling on her knees, one hand going to her stomach as the other hand slammed the ground. Hiei turned his head and skidded to a stop after hearing Mukuro's cry. He bolted to her and landed on his knees as one hand goes on her back and the other on the ground for support.

"Come on! We have to go now Mukuro! They're catching up!" said Hiei breathed hard and looking at Mukuro seeing what was the matter, then it hit him.

She must be-

"I'm in labor Hiei and it hurts like hell!" she grunted through her teeth now both hands holding her stomach hunched over whimpering from time to time. Hiei swallowed thinking of some way to stop this. This child was surely going to die if seven months premature, only half demon. Hiei clinched his teeth seeing her huffing and puffing, wincing in pain. Hiei quickly put her arm over his shoulders to pick her up. She gritted her teeth and Hiei scooped her and dashed off leaping from clear ground to clear ground.

Trees passed by in blurs as he looked for a safe place to hide. He passed something that looked just right and stopped in a clear area turning around and swiftly jogging up a dead fallen tree trunk and jumping on top of a couple rocks and boulders and then landed. He breath was hard, his eyes closed, it took a while for him to realizing everything was fine for the moment and he opened his eyes looking at what he thought was paradise.

The rocks here were cover in moss. A little stream ran through. There was a big over hanging rock with a water carved cave. Mukuro groaned and panted. Hiei snapped his head and looked at her, beads of sweat stream down her face from time to time. He stood up, walked over to the bolder, stepping over the stream, his shredded cloak dragging behind him, and he went under the bolder, laying her down gently on the soft mossy ground. She groaned again and panted harder. Her eye closed, her face wincing in pain. Hiei Took his cloak off and covered Mukuro. He ripped some of his shirt off and walked over to the stream. He knelled down and put the piece of cloth in the stream, soaking it. Taking it out of the water, he stood up and walked back over to Mukuro knelling down next to her and wiping the sweat away from her brow before putting it on her forehead. Mukuro slightly opened her eye seeing Hiei looking at her intently.

"Hiei- hn!" she winced. "The baby is coming!" she slightly shouted.

Hiei's eyes widen and slightly panicked he looked franticly all over for anything that will help, but found nothing. He didn't know what to do, but comfort her and make her as convertible as possible. She panted and winced then Hiei sensed someone coming so did Mukuro as she slightly opened her eye. Hiei stood up quickly, grabbing his sword and darted off, jumping on top of the boulders and disappeared over them.

"Please... be safe Hiei," she whispered.

Hiei ran down the tree trunk and then heightened his power so the other demons could since him as he ran off far away from where Mukuro was, being the decoy no one really wanted to fight with. He skidded to a stop thinking this was far enough and waited, his eyes closed, his legs bent in the fighting position as one hand on the sheath and the other on the handle of the sword. He waited for a while but he didn't have to wait long as the ground started to rumble and the leaves started to shift in the wind. His ears started to pick up the sound of branches breaking above him. He whipped his head up and saw something large coming down, his eyes widen and quickly jumped out of the way as a big giant crashes through the canapé of trees and lands on the ground shaking the earth.

The Giant looked down with a smirk as a big lower canine tooth poked out from his lower jaw over his upper lip. Hiei pulled out his sword having both hands on the handle.

"Here I am! Come and get me!" he shouted and the Giant lifted his hand that was holding a spike ball and chain. The Giant started to swing it in circles above its head destroying trees with one blow. Hiei looked up seeing treetops coming down on him. Hiei jumped out of the way only when he landed he had to jump just one after the other of tree branches and trunks. Hiei landed on a big boulder putting his sword away and crossing his arms.

"Are you done yet?!" he shouted getting the giants attention.

The Giant roared and flung the spike ball at Hiei. And for a split second, Hiei dashed towards the ball taking out his sword and swung at it, shouting. The metal spiked Ball split into, Hiei flying right between them and right at the Giant. The Giant had it coming from the beginning. Hiei raised the sword over his head and quickly sliced everywhere on the giant's body blood spilling and spurting everywhere painting Hiei's cloths and skin red. The Giant roared in pain landing on its knees. Hiei landed behind it before casually walking away, blood dripping of the tip of his sword.

Focusing on Hiei, you could see in the blurry background the Giant fall apart to a mound of flesh. A streak of high power went through his body. Hiei's eyes widen and he snaps his head to his right and bolts back to where Mukuro was.

Mukuro!.... Mukuro!.... he thought slightly tripping on the trunk and jumping onto the boulders.

"MUKURO!" his shout echoed through the forest. His crimson eyes shiver seeing what has happened. His breath staggered; the people who were around were Koenma's people; they were too late. Hiei jumped down and some people turned around. He saw the adult Koenma out the corner of his eyes, but did not look at him as he ran to where Mukuro was. Some people grabbed and held him back.

"You cannot see this sir, please stay back." one of the men said holding Hiei's arm. Hiei looked up at them and clinched his teeth.

"She's my mate! Now let go of me!" he shouted, pushing the two off him, making them skid across the ground on their backs. Hiei reaches to the spot and stops dead in his tracks. He staggers a breath and his body starts shaking. Hiei fell to his knees. What he saw was horrific. The walls of the boulder and moss covered ground were covered in blood. The Boulders drip with blood; the stream in a light colored red. There was nothing of her left. Koenma looked away, his eyes lower, shivering as he covers his mouth with his hand. Koenma's eyes tightly close as his face winced from hearing Hiei's screams of 'No'.

****

Almost sundown the darkened leaf treetops cover the starry sky, swaying in the winds as the leaves brush against each other as if a light chatter of whispers and in the wind carried a small cry. A white hooded cloaked figure stopped in a middle of a small dirt trail. The wind blew through the forest and the trees creek in sound. The hood covered the face only leaving darkness within. The hood turns to the source of the crying far down below the trail. The cloak figure stood for a moment before it ran down the embankment, looking as if the figure was just floating above ground like a lost spirit. The figure slowed down when reaching to the bottom hearing the cry louder than before.

The Figure stood there as its cloak swayed in the wind. The Sun was set and it was dark only the half-shown moon could bear what little light there was. The Cries started to weaken. The cloaked figure started walking, hearing a river it knew that whatever was crying must have came from the river. The Figure stopped and looked down at a black wrapped up cloth that was the source of the weakening cry.

The figure knelled down and from the long white sleeves, very, very pale long skinny hands emerged from them picking up the wet bundle of black shredded cloth and slowly stood up cradling the bundle in one arm. The Cries had slightly gotten weaker and weaker until there was no voice at all. The figures bony slender fingers pull open a small flap to reveal a tinny, tinny face. The babies face move to one side then the other. The figure watched as the babies eyes fully open and blinked. The Eyes were glowing red and crimson. The child stared into the blackness within the hood. The figure slowly reached up to its hood and slowly pulled it back. White hair flows from the hood in shimmering threads. It was an old man with pointed ears of a demon his eyes pure white and in a deep old and slow raspy voice the demon spoke,

"I shall make you the greatest assassin there will ever be- Sin... of Jigoku."
