Yo! I'm updating! Yay! I thought ya'll deserved it! So, here's chapter three! Kagemusha, the small wolf cub! Whoot!
Hiei smirked. This was goingto be fun to watch. She had no idea how hard it was to catch a wolf…especially a wolf cub.
Ch 3: Kagemusha, the small wolf cub
The wind blew through the trees, fluttering Kitty's hair as she sat on a tree, her katana in her hand, which was held against her chest, as she stared straight ahead, deep in thought.
'Evee….I'm sorry…But I cannot forgive you for leaving me all alone…three years ago…you promised me you'd be with me….yet you went to the Ryuu…and left me all alone…to deal with the torment of my training….' she thought scathingly, her hand gripping her katana tighter.
Flashback
Kitty rushed through some woods, apparently running away from something. Her hair had leaves and twigs in it, flying about as she ran.
'Evee! Evee, where are you?' she thought frantically as she dodged an arrow.
She ducked as another arrow flew at her, narrowly missing her head. She raised her hands to the three oncoming ones, which immediately burst into flame and fell to the ground burning.
She turned and ran on, tree branches and bushes seeming to move on their own to clear a path for her, then moving back to their original position.
She saw an opening up ahead and ran faster, avoiding the spears and arrows thrown at her. She burst through the opening, in front of a man with a clipboard in hand, Evee standing next to him.
Evee smiled and ran forward towards her. "Kit! Are you alright?" she asked anxiously, looking Kitty up and down.
Kitty managed a weak smile and said, "I-I'm fine…Evee, where were you? I was looking for you!"
Evee glanced at the man with the clipboard, before she said, "I…I got here early by accident…they wouldn't let me go back in with you…and…sis…I didn't get accepted into the Kamisori no Ha….I got accepted into Ryuu…"
Kitty's face turned pale, she was not in the Kamisori no Ha? Then that meant she…wasn't going to be with her….
The man, named Jin, came towards her, his clipboard in hand. He cleared his throat then said, "Kitty Taisho, your inspection results are in. You are in the Kamisori no Ha. Kindly make your way over to their campsite, they will tell you when and where you are to be given your training, which starts tomorrow. Evee, you should head over to the Ryuu campsite, they are waiting for you."
With that said, he turned heel and disappeared as he walked away.
Kitty was trembling. She was not going to be with her sister.
She turned to Evee to say something, but Evee had already begun walking towards her campsite, her back turned.
She yelled out, "Evee! Wait!" her eyes tearing up.
Evee gave no sign of having heard her, and disappeared into the Ryuu crowd.
Kitty ran after her, but was stopped by two guards, they held her back, not allowing her entrance.
"Evee! Please! Evee! Don't leave me alone! You can't leave me alone! YOU PROMISED WE'D ALWAYS BE TOGETHER!" She yelled after her sister, who was no longer in sight.
The guards threw her backwards, and she landed on her front, tears streaming down her face.
Her only sister…had turned her back on her….
End Flashback
Kitty looked up, she remembered who had helped after that. When she was crying, he had appeared behind her, and helped her into the campsite.
"Hiei…"she whispered. "Hiei…you were the only one I knew I could trust…the only one who…who actually cared about me…"
She turned her head upwards, shielding her eyes from the sun.
She jumped down from the tree, her katana in her hand and set off at a brisk walk. She drew her katana, apparently under the impression of training, but something caught her eye, her katana half-way out.
A small pure-black wolf cub was pushed out of the bushes, wearing a red bow around its neck.
She blinked.
'A wolf cub? I wonder who…' she thought, looking around.
Back With Evee and Hiei (before she saw the wolf cub)
"Get back here you stupid friggin wolf!" yelled Evee as she lunged at a small pure-black wolf cub.
The cub yelped and dodged her, making her land on her face, and skid slightly on the ground.
Hiei chuckled as he leaned against a tree, his arms folded across his chest, and watching. "I told you it wasn't going to be easy. But you did not believe me." He said while smirking at her as she sat up, wiping the dirt off her face.
Evee snarled at him and said, "You could help you know!"
He shrugged. "I could, but I don't want to. There's a difference between could do it and don't want to do it. Look it up in the dictionary." He said smugly.
Evee froze after he finished. Those were nearly the exact words her sister had spoken to her. She stood up slowly and walked away to find the little cub again, her face neutral.
Hiei looked after her, slightly confused. "Was it something I said?" he asked particularly no one.
Evee made her way through some bushes and spotted the little cub she was to get for her sister. She crouched down, and slunk towards it silently, seeing as it had its back turned on her. She raised her hands and grasped it around its middle, making it yelp with surprise.
The little cub struggled for a moment before Evee had it safely in her hands.
She stuck her hand in her pocket and withdrew a blood-red ribbon. She tied it into a bow around the little cub's neck, and tied its hand and feet together, so it wouldn't escape once set down.
Hiei looked up at her as she approached and glanced at the little cub. "So you finally caught her did you?" he said smugly again, a shadow of a smirk on his lips.
She glowered at him and said, "Yes. I finally caught her. Now come on. We have to deliver this to my little sister." She walked off at a quick pace, and Hiei followed begrudgingly.
Evee looked at him from the corner of her eye. "Why are you helping me anyways?" she asked suddenly.
He didn't look at her, his face neutral. "Well…..I don't like seeing her sad…she's kinda grown on me really….she…cared about me….the first person to ever care about me for real….she's like a sister to me, and I can't let her go on like how she is now…this may sound strange…but…I miss her smiles and…most of all….the sound of her laughter….which I have not heard for a really long time…" he said slowly, not looking at her.
Evee stopped and stared at him. He had never seemed like the kind of person who would give a damn about anybody. Yet, he just said he cared about her Kitty, like she was his own sister.
He suddenly seemed to notice he had said something that she should not have heard for his expression turned into a death glare at her.
She smiled at him. "Don't worry, I won't tell a soul about what you've just told me Hiei…" she said smiling.
He drew his katana so fast that by the time she noticed he had drawn it, it was at her throat. He growled, "You better not. Or else you won't see the light of day again."
She pushed his katana away from her throat and walked on, as if nothing had happened. He glowered at her before he sheathed his katana and followed after her.
She could smell Kitty's scent getting stronger as they approached where she was.
She came to a halt as she saw her sitting on a tree, the wind fluttering her hair.
She saw her look up, then jump down and start walking towards them at a brisk walk.
Evee hastily hid behind some bushes, pulling Hiei down beside her and waited till Kitty was right in front of them to push the little tied-up-cub out into the open. Hiei then placed a hand on her shoulder and teleported them a short distance away so they could watch what she did.
Back With Kitty (outside her POV)
Kitty stared down at the little whimpering tied-up cub. It was trembling from fear, looking up at her with cute little golden eyes.
Her expression remained the same, yet her eyes softened. She knelt down towards it, and took it in her arms, the cub stopped shaking once she brought it up to her chest. She looked around, then checked behind the bushes for some sign of someone who might have left the little cub.
She sighed and kept walking, untying the little cub from the ribbon. That's when she noticed a small note tucked into the little bow of the ribbon.
It read:
Dear Sister,
I hope that this small gift will be my first step to gaining your forgiveness. I was told that you liked pure-black wolf cubs. The little cub's a girl. You should be expecting more little gifts from me, a heads-up for you. I know it'll be a long time till you forgive me entirely…but I'm willing to wait till you do. Remember that no matter what, I'll always love you…and protect you if you ever need it…but from what I've been told…you can take care of yourself rather well….being the best of the Kamisori no Ha and all…
With lots of Love,
Evee
Kitty stared at the note. 'Someone told her I like pure-black wolf cubs….but the only one who knows is….Hiei…could he possibly be with her?…' she thought as she threw the crumpled note away.
She looked down at the little cub in her arms, she had fallen asleep in her arms. She held her up to her face and whispered, "I'm going to call you….Kagemusha."
