Chapter 1- Kauri
The rain was pouring hard that day in Makai, and the only noise that could be heard was the sobs of a small demon child. She sat in a big tree with her head on her knees. In mere seconds the child had lost everything. Her village was attacked that night by class A demons. Of course her village had no chance, they were only lightning demons, who possessed the power to control the weather, and they were very peaceful by nature. They fought the best they could but in the end, all of her people were slaughtered. Luckily for her, her parents had made her run before the battle got too rough. But was she really lucky. She was all alone. The small demon definitely wouldn't be able to survive, she was completely clueless of life out of the village, and her fighting skills. Well she didn't really have any, she only appeared to be about 4 years old (Probably about 50 or something I don't know how the whole ningen makai age scale works).
Crack. Her head quickly shot up from her knees hearing the cracking of a branch. Her dark amber eyes searched for an intruder as she began to tremble with fear. Not sure if she should run or hide, the demon mustered up all her courage and found her voice. "W-who's there? S-show your self!" She demanded gaining some spirit.
"Calm down, little one." Said a voice as it's owner stepped in front of the frightened child. The man was tall with light blue hair and his navy blue eyes gazed intently on her, showing no emotion. Looking into his eyes the small girl wasn't sure of what to say so she looked down to the floor and waited for the larger demon to do something. "Are you the lighting yukai who survived the Sentiago attack?" Someone had told him he would meet a young demoness with immense power. He figured she could contribute to his group. But when he would find her she would have to be taught how to use her skills. But it was always better to get them young, he figured. There she was right in front of him. She looked back up and gently nodded a yes. Without any further questions he grabbed her from the tree and ran off with her in his arms. She pulled and kicked and screamed. Attempting to break free from her abductor's grasp. She had no idea what he was going to do. Would he feed her to his demon friends, would he skin her alive, there was no telling what sick things he might do. Finally all her repression paid off. The demon came to a halt and put her down. "Listen you, stop throwing a tantrum! I'm not going to kill you! Or at least I wasn't, but keep this up and I just might!" Throwing her over his shoulder he took off once again for his band of thieves.
He arrived at a small opening surrounded by trees. The pale haired demon walked through the opening into a semi-large valley completely hidden from intruding demons. About twenty demons of all kinds were sitting around, eating, laughing, whatever. He placed the sleeping bundle on the ground. "Hey Shoshiro, is that lunch?" One of the flesh eating demons asked, as he ran for the small child. But before he could reach her he was stopped in his tracks. "No you idiot! She's the girl that I told you all about. Eat her and we'll eat you!" The blue haired demon stared right at the other one and waited for him to sit down. Eventually he did. Then again the demon who brought the girl spoke. "Since she knows absolutely nothing about fighting. I will pick someone to be her mentor, and teach her how to be a great fighter. I've decided on my best demon." He closed his blue eyes. "Hiei." A handsome demon no more than five feet tall emerged from the shadows, with crimson eyes and tri colored hair. He looked around the age of nine. "Hn, I don't do babysitting jobs." The older demon shot a glance back at the koorime. "This is not babysitting! You should consider this an honor." Hiei looked at the little bundle on the ground. He was very mature for his age, and knew nothing about kids, so how the hell was he suppose to teach one. "An honor my ass." He retorted without raising his voice.
The next morning Hiei woke up early to see the small child chasing a purple butterfly. What a dimwit, he thought. She continued chasing the butterfly until she accidentally shot an electricity wave at it. It dropped to the ground lifeless, and not to mention burnt. The little girl's eyes began to water and she began to cry, causing dark storm clouds to surround the area. She didn't mean to kill the butterfly. Hiei walked up to the girl and grabbed her shoulder. "Hey rule one, no crying." He said softly (just to let you know as you can already tell this takes place when hiei is in the theif group, but he's also a little softer and younger). She looked up at him, tears still in her eyes. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." She wiped the tears from her face, and smiled up at him, causing the sun to come out again. "Are you Hiei-sama?" She asked curiously. Someone told her that her mentor would be a demon by the name of Hiei. He nodded his head, "Drop the sama." He paused, and put his hand to his head thinking of what he should first try to teach her. "Lets play a game. We're going to see if you can catch me." With that he took off running with his incredible speed. But to his disbelief the girl stayed on his heals. Amazing, he thought to himself. He decide to run as fast as he could. She was no longer at his heals but was still a close distance behind. She used to play this game with her brother, though it wasn't as much fun as now. She'd been so much faster than him that she always had to run extra slow so she wouldn't loose him. She kept running but felt her little body grow tired. Loosing her strength she tripped on a massive tree root and fell on her face. The little demon sat up and rubbed her red race with her small hands. The girl then looked up at the man who stood over her. "I'm sowy, I couldn't keep up?" Said the child. Hiei nodded and patted her head. "Don't worry about it. You did good." Hiei couldn't believe she could be so fast. He wondered what other talents she had. He looked into her big googly eyes and smiled.
The rest of the day he tested her in all different fields. He studied her and determined what aspects he would focus on. It would be her speed, lightning, and some sort of weapon. It was already nighttime and Hiei walked her back to the valley. She was playful, he thought, and full of energy, it was kind of refreshing. He watched as she skipped at his side. Upon arriving at the valley a thought struck Hiei's mind. "Hey kid, what's your name? I can't call you kid forever." She only shrugged at his question. "So they never named you, ha?" He thought to himself for a while, "From now on your name will be Kauri." "Kau.ri." The little unnameless girl said, as he sent her to bed.
Over the next 10 or 20 years Hiei and Kauri had grown close. And her fighting skills had developed greatly. She had nearly mastered her lightning techniques, and her speed almost matched Hiei's. Little Kauri was the only thing that kept him from becoming a monster. It was her smiling face that kept him soft. But one day he would leave her.
"Kauri," He coaxed the small girl as tears fell down her cheeks, "what did I tell you about crying." She attempted at wiping her tears away, "you said it showed weakness." Her lower lip trembled. "But why are you leaving. and why cant I go with you?" She tugged on his black shirt wanting an answer. "I told you before. It's too dangerous. I have to leave." He bent down, eye level to the girl who ran into his arms. He hugged her tight as she cried in his chest. "Please don't forget about me, Hiei-sama." She mumbled. "I promise." He let go of the child and stood up regaining his composer. "Here. I have a gift to give you before I leave." Hiei pulled out a black box from his coat. "Here, I wasn't sure when to give it to you. But." He handed her the box and she opened it. Inside was a beautiful staff. It was crimson with turquoise dragons painted on it. "There's a lot to it, many secrets. Trying to figure out how to use it should keep you busy for a while." He smiled once more and left his little Kauri to live without him.
Present 500 years later.
"Wow she's cute!" Yusuke exclaimed as he grabbed a picture from Koenma's desk. It was a picture of a young demoness with amber eyes and long black hair. She was wearing a small shirt that covered only her breast and semi loose gypsy pants. A small piece of cloth was tied just below her eyes, covering the rest of her face below the nose. "There's a million and one things I could do with her!" Koenma grew annoyed with Yusuke's one track mind. "Well make number a million and two to capture her." He closed his eyes trying to explain the situation. "She's a strange demoness. She never kills any of my guards and she hardly steals anything, at least not of value. It's like she breaks in here just to make me look bad!" Koenma wailed as he jumped on his desk, and through around all the important papers, in a hisifit. Hiei snatched the picture from Yusuke to get a good look. His eyes widened as he sensed something familiar. Was this her, he thought? She has those same amber eyes. He then noticed a crimson spear in her hand. Yup that's her, and it looks like she learned how to transform that staff I had given her before I left. His eyes relaxed as the memories of her returned.
"And that's not all," Koenma continued, breaking Hiei free from his reminiscing. "Her fighting ability is unimaginable. I've never seen someone quite as good as she is. That's why I want you to capture her, so I can make her part of the spirit detective group. And Hiei, you're the perfect one to catch her. Her fighting style bears a striking resemblance to yours. These other losers wouldn't stand a chance." This comment left Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama looking a little angry. Hiei walked out of the toddlers office to wait for the demoness to make her entrance. He wasn't sure where she'd be but he knew that he would eventually sense her with his jagan eye. But why would she come here? Did she leave the thief group like him?
Hiei's head turned to look down the hall where he heard the sounds of his comrades battling. As he ran down the hall he saw Kuwabara go flying from the room. He didn't pay him much attention because he was used to the big baka getting beat up. Jumping over his body he ran into the room where Kurama and Yusuke were about to face a painful attack because they could not keep their eye's on her due to her fast movements. As Hiei entered the doorway the demoness halted and looked at the man who had walked in. "Hiei- sama!" (she still didn't drop the sama) She yelled and ran to him, enveloping the koorime in a tight hug. "I've missed you so much!" She chimed. Everyone stared at her as if she had taken way to many blows to the head, except for Hiei who only stood there, rigid. It was her again. His little Kauri. He pulled her off of him and held onto her shoulders. 'What do you think you're doing here?" He scolded. "I heard some news about you working for Koenma, so I started breaking in until I caught their attention. I knew eventually they would send you to come get me!" She stood smugly, proud that her plan worked so well. Though he looked at her with concern and anger in his eyes. "You shouldn't have done that. You're still as hard headed as ever. Now I have to take you in." She looked at him, her eyes filled with disbelief, "Your kidding right, Hiei-sama? You wouldn't take me to Reikai prison?" He looked at her and let out his usual "Hn" grabbing her wrist he lead her away from every one else and into Koenma's office. "Here." Hiei let go of Kauri's arm and walked towards the door blocking her exit, in case she tried to runoff. Kauri looked at the toddler form Koenma, and burst out in fits of laughter. The fears of prison gone. "This is the almighty Koenma?! I could squish you with my foot!" She laughed hysterically as Koenma just pouted. And before he knew it he was in her arms, and she was hugging him so tight he thought his eyes would pop out at any moment. "You're so cute!" "Let go."gasp choke choke, ".of.me!" She finally let go of the pint sized god and he fumbled back trying to regain his posture. "Ahem . instead of going to prison you will instead become part of the spirit detective group. You will follow orders and work side by side with the people you met today and." "No" Hiei cut him short. Koenma adverted his gaze onto three eyes. "What do you mean no?" "Exactially what I said. It's much too dangerous for her." He turned to walk out the door but Koenma spoke before he could leave. "Exactly, that's why we chose only the best. So Kauri. You are now part of the spirit detective group." She smiled and bowed to Koenma before rushing of to meet hiei, but he was already gone. Walking through the halls searching for him she bumped into Kurama. "Pardon me, I didn't see you come around the corner." Said the fox in his usual charming manner. She just stared into his deep green eyes and smiled. "You're part of the spirit detective group! And by your aura you must be the Legendary Youko Kurama! Sorry for hurting you back there." She bowed politely, not needing to show anymore courteousy she sprang to his side and hugged on to his arm. The smile still on her face. While a slight blush spread across the fox's. "Soooooo, do you by any chance no where Hiei- sama is, I've been wanting to talk to him, cause it's been such a long time?" She asked as the two of them continued to walk down the hall, Kauri still glued onto his arm. Kurama wondered why Hiei would leave so instantly after this girl had found him, after what he knew to be about five hundred years. "Well he left already." "Left?" she asked confused, her eyebrows arching, "but I thought he lived here." "No he lives at Mukuro's, he works there too." Hearing this, she let go of his arm and a small sigh escaped from her lips. "I was hoping he stayed here." Kauri changed her expression to the happy one she had before. "Oh well, I guess I'll just see him when he comes back. Well oyasumi-nasai gozaimas Kurama-san" With that she ran off in his opposite direction to the room Koenma set up for her. Kurama watched as the demoness ran for her room, her ponytale swifting side to side with every step. She's quite petite with her small frame, though she could not be mistaken for a child because she was clearly developed, he thought to himself as she disappeared. Practically perfect for Hiei. Waooo, yeah right, the icicle formally known as Hiei falling in love?.fat chance.
So that was my first chapter! Yay pleez review it will make me happyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!! Oh and believe me ther'll be a lot of love in this fic for our favorite koorime. Yeah cuz im not for the yaoi relation ship with hiei and kurama cuz I love them both so much! And I don't think well. I should shut up now. Anyway review and the more you review the more I'll write!
