Chapter 1
"Hikaru, come down for dinner!" Shiori shouted up to her daughter`s room. Hikaru came down shortly after. She had medium length red hair, but some in the front near her face was long with gray eyes. Hikaru was about seven years old and at least 3`8 in size. She wore a blue sweat shirt and bayed shorts with little hiking boots.
"What`s for dinner?" Hikaru asked with a slight smile on her face.
"We`re having Chicken and rice. " Shiori replied. Hikaru looked around house noticing that her brother Kurama, or as humans called him Shuuichi Minamoto. She knew that he was gone more often lately. She though it had to do with Yusuke Urameshi and Hiei. Hikaru only met each of them once before, so she didn`t know much about them. Kurama had told her to never tell their mother about what he does and she did as so, even if she wants to. It still made her wonder where he was going all the time.
"Shuuichi is still isn`t back yet? I though he came home hours ago." Hikaru said sadly. Shiori just sighed and told her that he would be back soon. Sometimes she herself would worry about where her son was half the time. They decided not to talk about it and just ate their dinner. Afterwards Hikaru went up to her room waiting for Kurama to return because tonight would be the night she make him confess about what he has been doing all this time.
After a hour and a half, she heard footsteps downstairs. She quietly rushes down the stairs, so her mother would not wake up. Hikaru then saw her brother in the kitchen. It looked like he was just sitting there thinking to himself, she could not tell, since the room was dark. Hikaru flipped the light switch on so she could see what was wrong with her brother. At the same time Hikaru turned the lights on Kurama turned his eyes on her a little surprised.
"Hikaru, why are you still up? "Kurama asked
"Where were you all day?" Hikaru questioned with a hint of hesitant. Her big gray eyes looked as if she was about to burst into tears.
Kurama just sat there quietly while looking into his little sister eyes. He knew she was on the point of crying, but he didn`t want her to get involved with demons and spirit world. It`s not like she didn`t know about demons. She was a half-demon herself and she was just as aware of demons and spirits as Kurama. But she is so young. She was only seven for God`s sake and she knew too much as it is.
"It`s not important, Hikaru. Go to bed before mother wakes up." He simply said "I just went out for a bit."
"No! Where do you always go! Does it have to do with Yusuke… and Hiei? I just want to know where you go all the time!" Hikaru yelled. When she heard Shiori moan upstairs she calmed down.
"Ever since mama got sick and…. You met Yusuke, you been going out for long times. Can you just tell me? Please? I...I can`t take it anymore." Her eyes started to water, but she held it back as hard as she could to seem more serious.
"Wait until tomorrow and I`ll explain everything. Can you wait that long?" Kurama said softly
"You promise? And why tomorrow?"
"You`ll see. Goodnight." Kurama said as he went up stairs to go to bed and Hikaru followed right after.
