"A walk?" Kurama repeated.
"Hn," Hiei replied, "I'm feeling a little down today so I'm going for a walk…"
"…Ok…" Kurama answered sounding a little worried. Hiei had been acting strange all day, like he was sick or something. Maybe it had something to do with that test he went through…
The night before Hiei had taken this test to show his strength growth. But the machine he went in had a malfunction and died with him in it. When they finally managed to get the door open, Hiei was already out of sanity. His eyes were wide with a crazed look in them and he wouldn't stop laughing for 3 hours. "Hey guy's, his hair's all sticking up from the statict!" Kuwabara said stupidly. When Hiei finally fell a sleep that night, he twitched the whole night. In the morning when they were eating breakfast, Kuwabara was being stupid again (that's not a surprise) and hitting on Yukina. Hiei didn't do anything about it. He just looked up, said "You mind not doing that while were eating?" and that was it. Kurama didn't like the looks of it so far. Kurama figured a little alone time would be the best medicine so he just got started on dinner.
Hiei walked over to the entrance steps of Genkai's home and sat down halfway down them. He laid his head into his arms and went into thought on what was wrong with himself. He felt like there was something missing… He didn't get very far into his thoughts cause he sensed someone near. The power was seemed familiar so he didn't bother to make a move. It was probably Yusuke. To his surprise though the person sat next to him, wrapped its arms around one of his arms and leaned it's head on his shoulder. He looked up at it in shock and saw a girl. She had midnight blue hair that went halfway down her back with a bit of white near her bags, kind of like his own white streaks. She was about his height and wore black pants with a silver chain attached to them, black shoes and a black sleeveless shirt. She had a few accessories like a studded bracelet and a dragon necklace that had a black gem in its center. Weird enough the dragon reminded his of his darkness dragon. She opened her eyes and looked at him. The colour of her eyes was the same as his own. But what she said to him was what practically killed him…
"Hey Dad."
Kurama heard a yell that sounded very familiar... After realizing it was Hiei's, he ran out the door at full speed to help him with whatever the problem was. He ran up to the steps of Genkai's home's entrance, saw Hiei and his jaw dropped immediately. Hiei had his Katana out and was trying to strike down a girl that, to Kurama's horror, looked like Hiei himself without the spiked up hair and narrow eyes. The girl didn't look fazed by the fact that Hiei was trying to kill her. It was almost like she was used to it. She yawned and jumped next to Kurama. Surprised, Kurama fell back and landed on the ground, hard. He sat up and rubbed the back of his head in pain. A hand appeared in front of him. He looked up and saw the girl with her hand out.
"Sorry," she said not really looking at him. "I didn't mean to make you fall."
Kurama accepted her apology and took her hand shakily. She helped him up but as soon as Kurama was on his feet he was pushed back down by Hiei, who didn't look to happy.
"Kurama, what the hell are you doing?" Hiei asked in a raised tone. "Were supposed to be trying to kill her!"
"You know you'll never be able to kill me Dad," she said sounding confident. "My skills are about as good as yours after all."
Kurama went pale. D-Dad? Hiei has a daughter? Had Hiei been keeping secrets from everyone? That wasn't such a surprise but… he actually fell in…love? Something was definitely wrong with this scene.
"Hiei, since when are you a father?" Kurama asked in a confused and nervous tone.
"Don't ask me dammit, I've never seen her before!" Hiei yelled back. "And I'm not her father! The bitch is delusional"
"You just keep wishing that were true Dad," she said leaning against one of the polls of the entrance.
"Um…" Kurama was hysteric, but he stayed calm to keep his reputation and so he wouldn't have Yusuke up his ass the whole next week. "What's… your name?"
The girl's eyes met his, which suddenly looked sad and troubled. Kurama got up and walked up to her dragging a struggling Hiei with him.
"I'm not sure if it's my real name or not but you can call me Hitomi," she answered. She turned towards Hiei with a questioning look.
"I told you I'm not your father so GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE ALREADY!" Hiei shouted uncontrollably. He regretted it right away. She looked shocked at first but that changed quickly. Her eyes filled with water and she seemed to be chocking on the words that she was trying to say, but she refused to let a tear fall. Refused to show emotion. Just like Hiei… Apparently though, she was weaker at it. She looked away quickly, causing a few tears to fly out. She wiped a few away, trying to make it look like she was brushing her bangs away.
Kurama reached out and hesitantly taped her shoulder to get her attention. She looked at him with a normal serious expression, the tears had faded away.
"I suppose you don't have a place to stay so you may stay here with us if you'd like…" Kurama elbowed Hiei in the ribs to get back at him for stepping on his foot.
Hitomi blinked in surprise and nodded to the offer. She apparently wasn't expecting this at all. Hiei gave a "Hmph" and disappeared. Kurama smiled sweetly and lead her to the house, regardless of the objections Hiei was sending mentally in his head. He wanted to solve this stupid case. He was a part of the spirit detectives after all…
