Okay guys, this is my second attempt at a YYH story. (Awkward Love is a piss poor one-shot that needs a LOT of fixin'.) I am terrible with summaries, but you just have to believe me that this is a good one(I hope and pray).
Inspired by Lee Ann Womack's "The Man Who Made My Momma Cry"
Rated M for sexual themes/vulgarity
If you have ever read My Dear Dragon, you know that I am TERRIBLE at updating. I have remedied that. So far I have seven chapters written for this story. I tried long and hard to keep this as accurate as I could, LOTS of research. (If only I did as much research for school as I do with these stories than I'd be on the freaking Dean's List every semester, but ANYWHO!)
Hope y'all like it, I have set a reminder on my phone/wall calendar/laptop to remind me post a new chapter. Since I do only have seven chapters written, I'm going to stagger each new posting every two weeks. So every other Tuesday, there will be a new chapter posted. Hopefully by the time we reach chapter seven, I'll have the rest of the story written.
Anyway! Read and Enjoy, reviews are always a plus!
It was unusually hot in the Makai; the shade from the forest gave no relief. Hiei wiped the sweat from his brow as he stared at his opponent with slumped shoulders. He had been in this fight for hours now; the sweltering heat was not helping his exhaustion. His opponent was in no different shape than he. In fact she looked worse. Her long hair stuck to her drenched body as she leaned against her sword. The tip of the blade was in the ground and she held onto the hilt like a life line, refusing to collapse.
"Give up." He rasped out. His vocal chords protesting the dryness of his throat.
She huffed out a laugh and stared at him. "As if. You're the first real challenge I've gotten in this fucking tournament." She smirked.
Hiei stared at the woman before him. He had to admit she was right, but anymore of this and he would not last a minute in his next fight. He needed to end this now.
"Glad to be of service, but this ends now." And he charged.
In a flurry of swings and punches, Hiei kicked at her feet causing her to fall to her knees and with one swing, her sword flew feet any from them. Hiei stood in front of her, his katana at her throat and her hair wrapped around his hand. "It's over." He declared.
She just laughed, "Is it?" With him confused at her confidence, she flung her head forward and made direct contact. Hiei released her hair and hunched forward as she brought her fist to his chin. As he leaned backwards, she jumped up and hooked her legs over his shoulders and skillfully wrapped her feet and ankles around his biceps.
She winced as her knees collided with the hard ground, swearing she felt one of them break. However a smirk crept onto her face as she stared down at the fire demons face between her legs. His crimson eyes staring directly into her own amber. Something about the look in them stirred something within her.
She saw him smirk and quietly hum. At that moment, she realized what he was so damn smug about. The scent of arousal.
Hiei only smirked harder when she knew exactly what was going on. Using this to his advantage, he curled his forearms up and gripped onto her thighs. With the little amount of strength he had left, he unsteadily hauled himself to his feet and swung around and slammed her into a nearby tree.
She cried out as her head gave a harsh 'thunk' against the wood. Knowing that it left her slightly concussed, Hiei took the opportunity to pull his arms free from her grasp and quickly flipped her onto the ground. He put his knee into her back and pulled her arms behind her, slightly lifting her off the ground. Her head hung forward and Hiei knew she was unconscious. Letting her go, Hiei waved down the proctor, who started the count and named Hiei the winner of the match.
As he walked towards the exit, medics rushed in and placed her on a stretcher. As they rushed passed, Hiei felt a small hug in his mind.
"Meet me later." Her voice echoed in his mind.
It echoed for hours until he found himself standing in front of the room she was currently resting in. Before he could even knock, the door flung open and he was being pulled in. She pressed herself against him and tore at his clothes. Unable to stop himself, Hiei picked her up and placed her on the bed.
Hands roamed, tearing off each article of clothing. "Hiei…" She begged.
He wrapped her leg around his waist. "Hiei…"
His body shook. "Hiei…"
He thrusted. "HIEI!"
Hiei jumped up with a start. His eyes wide as he stared the person in front of him.
"Damn dude, it's like trying to wake up my mom…"
He shook his head, "What are you doing Detective?"
"Yukina told me to come get you. Breakfast is ready." Yusuke shrugged and walked out of the room.
Hiei sat up in his bed, running a hand through his tousled hair. "That dream again…" He pulled the covers back and stretched. Grabbing his pants and shirt from the floor, he quickly dressed and made his way to the kitchen.
Everyone was seated at the table when he walked in. Yukina walked up to him with a cup of coffee in her hand and a smile on her face, "Here you go."
He simply nodded his head and sipped the dark drink. Its bitter taste traveled down his throat as he leaned against the counter top. Eye twitching as he watched the two morons eat. "When are you returning to Demon World?" His ears perked up.
He looked over at Yusuke, "Probably tomorrow. Speaking of Demon World, did you get that invite from Yomi?"
Hiei clutched his cup, Kurama throwing a quick glance over at him. "I did."
"Who knew the blind geezer had a daughter!" Yusuke laughed out. "Wonder how he cooked that up in his little lab."
A clatter of glass echoed throughout the kitchen. Everyone looked over at Hiei who simply held the handle in his grasp. "Hiei!" Yukina gasped as she ran over to him. "Are you okay?" She asked, looking over his hand to check for any cuts.
Nodding his head, he put the handle on the counter and walked out of the room. Everyone followed his exit and looked at each other. "What crawled up his ass?" Kuwabara pointed at the exit.
"Maybe it's his time of the month."
"Really Yusuke?" Keiko asked as she smacked the back of his head.
"What?! It's a valid question? He's been all dark and moody this whole week. He almost took my head off yesterday when we were sparring."
"Well you did mention you-know-who." Kuwabara pointed out.
"Yusuke!" Keiko smacked him again. "You know we aren't supposed to talk about her."
"It's not my fault she split!" He cried as he held the back of his head.
"Dimwit." Genkai got up from her spot and followed after the fire demon. Yukina stood up from cleaning up the mess on the floor, and placed the broken shards into the trash and wiped up the coffee. She glanced back at the door and wondered what was wrong with her brother.
"Since we're on the topic, has anyone heard from her?" Botan asked.
"She's living with Yomi."
"What?!" Yusuke and Kuwabara shouted as they stared at Kurama.
"Shortly after she left, she started working as his personal healer. I see her from time to time when I'm there giving reports."
"Kinda hard to believe how long it's been since she left." Kuwabara mumbled.
"Sixteen years." Yusuke added.
Everyone got quiet as they thought back on those times. Everyone was happy, even Hiei, all thanks to her. She gave Yusuke and Kuwabara both the courage to pop the big question to their girlfriends, now wives. Helped bring Yukina and Hiei together. Got Hiei to smile. Told Kurama that his family needed to know who he was, what he was. She even gave Genkai a run of her money when it came to video games. Hell, she even delivered Yusuke and Keiko's son.
She was a constant feature in their lives and just when they thought she would be there for forever, she just left.
When the silent alarms went off, everyone got up. They only went off when a demon had passed through the barrier and was near the temple. Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara took off to the front of the temple, where they saw Hiei and Genkai staring at a young girl. She couldn't have been older than six. Her short hair was in every which direction, twigs and leaves sticking out. Her face was dirty and her clothes looked a little torn.
She looked directly at Hiei with a large smile on her face. Before anyone could say anything, she ran straight for him. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him. Her face planted into his chest. Hiei stiffened at the contact, but soon loosened up and returned the embrace. Everyone was now on the porch and stared with wide eyes or slacked jaws. Someone was hugging Hiei and he wasn't killing them. He was actually returning it! Only Genkai and Kurama seemed unfazed by the whole situation.
Hiei looked down at the little girl and ran his fingers through her hair, pulling out the foliage. "Does your mother know you're here?"
"No. I wanted to see you, but no one would let me!
Hiei pinched the bridge of his nose and pushed the little girl away at arms length. He held onto her upper arms, "Aiko, you know the rules."
"I don't care about the rules. I don't care what Dai says. Mom says….."
"Mom says you aren't allowed to see him." A voice hissed, as it came closer to the rest. A boy emerged from the forest, looking absolutely pristine, unlike the girl.
"That's not true Dai!" She cried out.
The boy ignored her and looked at Hiei. His eyes burned as he looked at the older male. His amber eyes almost turning red.
"Daisuke." Hiei dropped his hands and simply stood there. If the others hadn't known any better, they could have sworn they heard a hint of pain in his voice.
Daisuke ignored Hiei and stared back at Aiko. "We're leaving."
Aiko took a step back towards Hiei. "No. I'm staying."
"Goddammit Aiko. Do you even know the trouble you caused? Before I left to get you, Yomi was ready to send out his army to look for you! "
"I don't care!" She crossed her arms.
"Mom's in a panic, they had to give her a sedative just so she would sleep." He grounded.
Aiko looked down after that. "You're coming home. Now." Daisuke finalized.
The air became stiff as the little girl looked up. "No."
"Aiko…" Hiei began.
"Stay out of it!" Daisuke snarled.
"Watch your mouth boy." He turned to the little girl. "Aiko, he's right. You need to go. Go home to you mother."
"I don't want to." She stuttered out as her eye filled. "I want to stay with you." She pleaded.
"Aiko, you know you can't. You know the rules." He said as he folded his arms.
"I HATE THE RULES! I HATE GANDARA, I HATE YOMI, I HATE HER!"
"That's enough!" Aiko jumped back from Hiei. "You are going back with you brother and that's final."
"Oh look, he's getting all parental." Daisuke smirked. "I've told you Ko, I've told you a thousand times. He doesn't care. He doesn't want us. Never has, never will."
"Shut up Daisuke!" She yelled at him.
"Will someone please tell me what the hell's going on?"
The three turned and saw their audience. "Uncle Rama!" Aiko shouted as she ran towards Kurama. She did the same as she had with Hiei. Only, Kurama was more welcoming to her hug. He knelt down as she fell into his arms. "What trouble are you causing now?" He teased, as he tapped her nose.
Aiko giggled and pushed his finger away. "I'm not causing trouble! It's not fair Uncle Rama!"
"I agree it's not, but those rules are put in place for a reason little one. You can't break the rules just because you disagree with them."
"I just want to see him Uncle Rama. I just want my daddy!" Tears flew from her eyes as she launched herself onto the fox. Kurama shook his head and lifted the crying girl. She wrapped her legs around his waist and hid he face in his neck as she cried.
Yusuke and the others stared shocked at the little girl. The little girl with jet black hair and crimson eyes. Then they shifted their glances to the boy. The boy with the same black hair that spiked in different directions and amber eyes. Then to Hiei.
Black hair, red eyes.
Black hair, amber eyes.
Black hair, red eyes.
Black hair, amber eyes.
"OH MY GOD!" Keiko shouted out. Her head turned so fast in all directions; Yusuke thought it would break off. "Hiei…Hiei and…HIEI AND SAYURI HAVE CHILDREN!"
Hiei simply hug his head and placed his hand over his face. This is not what he wanted. This was not supposed to happen. "Well I'll be damned." Yusuke chuckled. "Welcome to fatherhood!" He said as he clapped Hiei on the back.
"Please." Daisuke glared. "Kurama, please. Let me take her back. Yomi is ready to tear the Makai apart. She's been gone for a week, my mother is worried sick."
"A week? It took you a week to find her!?" Hiei shouted.
"No! We only noticed she was missing two days ago."
"FIVE DAYS! It took you five days to notice that you sister was missing? Where was your mother during all of this?"
"It doesn't matter." Daisuke turned away from his father. "Please Kurama. Let me take her home."
"One day isn't going to hurt anything Daisuke. I'll call Yomi and your mother myself and tell them the situation. It's a miracle she made it here unharmed." He tapped the little girls' nose again. "I also know that you're hiding your lose of energy. You try and take her back today; you wouldn't make it to Gandara." He turned and walked up the temple steps. "You know I'm right." He smirked.
Daisuke looked as if he were going to retaliate, but gave in. It was true, he was exhausted. He's been running at full speed for two days. One day from Gandara to Alaric, and then Alaric to the Temple. The second he knew his sister was missing, he knew exactly where she would go. Passing through the barrier took a lot out of him and not having been in the Human World since he was a toddler, everything about it confused him. There were too many scents and so much noise; he had a hard time concentrating to find his sister. He put on a good face when he got here so we could get his sister and go. That didn't seem to be the case anymore.
With a sigh Daisuke slumped his shoulders and gave in. "Fine."
Aiko cheered from on top of Kuwabaras shoulders. How she got there, Daisuke did not know, but she had the biggest smile on her face.
Suddenly her little body began to tremble and she started coughing. "Uh-oh!" Kuwabara lifted his hand up and placed in on the forehead. "Yup, you've got a fever."
"Oh no." Yukina rushed up to her husband, "Get her inside. Poor thing must have gotten caught in the rain yesterday."
"I love the rain!" Aiko laughed, and started coughing again.
Hiei rushed up the steps and pulled his daughter from Kuwabara's shoulders and held her against him. He entered the temple with Yukina hot on their heels. Slowly everyone else followed. Daisuke was the only one in the clearing, save for Genkai. "Come on idiot." She huffed as she threw her cigarette into the dirt and stamped it out.
Daisuke looked up at the old psychic; she looked the same. She was halfway up the steps, before she turned to him. "Get a move on" and she walked into the temple. He looked around and just knew that his mother was going to kill him.
