Chapter 2:

Explanations of the Big Kind

-090-

Turning to face Hiei once again Koenma pointed at the screen behind him, "As I was saying, her name is Higurashi, Kagome. She is a miko and a very powerful one at that."

Watching closely as Hiei walked closer to the monitor, Koenma continued, "As you can clearly see, she is asleep and has been for the last five months."

Making his way over to his desk, Koenma pressed his intercom button, "yeah, sir?"

"Send him in George." Koenma's voice was level as he spoke, "at once sir."

Yusuke slowly got to his feet and studied the face of the woman of who Koenma was speaking; apparently this Kagome was the one that Hiei had been dreaming about.

This meant that his feelings had a real recipient, one that could possibly return said feelings. Determined to help Hiei any way he could, Yusuke turned towards Koenma.

"So are you telling us, that she's real?"

"Yes Yusuke, Kagome is very real. The only problem is that she is in very real danger and Hiei is the only one who can save her." Koenma had kept his eyes upon Hiei as he spoke, keeping a close watch just in case he tried anything...unpleasant.

But it seemed that Hiei was too entranced by the picture of his dream woman than anything else, for he just continued to stare up at her, as if unable to believe what he was seeing was real.

Deciding to ask for him, Yusuke moved closer to Koenma, "what kind of danger is she in?"

Knowing now was the moment of truth, Koenma took a deep breath and prepared himself for the reaction he was about to receive, "she's going to die."

No more than a second from when he said that, Koenma found himself pinned to the wall with an enraged youkai snarling in his face once again. 'It seems that today is my lucky day...' he thought sarcastically.

"What was that?!" Hiei's voice was hard as steel as he glared holes right through Koenma in his fury.

"She's in a comma and unless she takes a mate within the next few days...she...she's going to die..." Hiei released him at that even as he pulled his katana, pointing the tip right to the side of Koenma's throat.

"Then call Boton and have her take me there, now."

"I don't think that would be a very wise decision, after all," Hiei turned his head to regard their sudden, 'guest.' "You don't have a clue how hard it is traveling through time, do you?"

Gritting his teeth, Hiei narrowed his eyes in barely restrained fury, "who the fuck are you?!"

Before them stood a rather amused looking man, it was clear from his attire and looks that he was a human at least that was Hiei's first thought before the pulsing of his Jagan told him otherwise. This 'human' was hiding something.

His short brown hair and amused blue grey eyes seemed to sparkle as he moved further into the room. He was wearing a high school students black jumpsuit and had left his bag near the door.

"Now isn't that the million dollar question? Koenma, did you tell them...everything?" The man's eyes seemed to narrow as he spoke the last word.

Flinching at the direct hit and the sharp prickle of Hiei's sword against his throat, Koenma closed his eyes. "Unfortunately I haven't had the chance, I thought you might have more luck then I."

Snorting, the man turned to regard Hiei once again. This time it seemed more like he was sizing the other up than just looking at him, which frankly, only served to piss Hiei off even further.

'What the hell are they playing at?! Kagome is dying and their lollygagging!' "Damn it, if one of you doesn't tell me what is going on right now, I'm going to kill you both!"

He even let his aura fill the room as he narrowed his eyes dangerously at the new comer.

Surprisingly he didn't even seem the slightest bit worried as the smile on his face only deepened. "Well, well. I guess I was too quick in my first assumption, you might just fit the bill after all."

Bending in a sweeping bow, the man locked his eyes with Hiei's even as his form faded away into that of a finely dressed man of the feudal era. "My name is Akitoki Houjou and I am here to swear myself into your service."

Eyes widening, Hiei regarded this Houjou with great suspicion. "I have no need of a servant."

Rolling his eyes, Houjou straightened himself out as yet another change took place. His face shifted to a much sharper chin even as his ears grew pointed, his hair grew longer and his hands gained claws and a tail sprouted from his back.

"Oh but you do. I serve her and as such, I will in turn have to serve you, as you are her chosen."

Hiei blinked at that, before his face darkened, "alright, I'll accept but I warn you now. I won't hesitate to kill you if I desire, understood?" Houjou just nodded his head before smiling widely.

"Well then, I suppose all we can do now is wait for your friends to show up while Koenma here explains a few details to you." Houjou shifted before sitting upon the floor, his tail swaying in the air behind him, ready to watch the coming 'show.'

'You bastard neko,' Koenma glared at Houjou before turning to regard Hiei's smoldering red eyes.

"Well, I suppose I should just come out and say it. Kagome isn't just some miko with special powers, no...She's...she's my sister!" Koenma slapped a hand to his mouth after he'd blurted that out; unable to believe he'd just done that.

"She's your...uh...wha?!" Koenma could only turn to look at Yusuke, his eyes serious, "she's my sister Yusuke."

Blinking in utter confusion, Yusuke spared a glance at Hiei, but the apparition had started gazing at the monitor again. It seemed that Koenma's little 'confession' didn't bother him in the least, but that was Hiei, not him.

"Alright, I want an explanation right now. How in the hell can she be your sister if one, she's human and two, she's not here?!"

Sighing, Koenma rubbed at the bridge of his nose. He had known questions would be forthcoming, but he hadn't thought that it would be Yusuke, not Hiei asking them.

"My father sent her to a human family not long after we were born and she grew up, never knowing who or what, she really was."

If anything could have shocked Yusuke even more at that moment, it was Koenma's words. "Are you telling us that she's your...twin?!"

That word caught Hiei's attention as he whirled to look at Koenma in a calculating manner. It was clear that he was trying to find some sort of similarity between the two, some little bit of evidence that would prove that they were twins.

And he found it, but not in the place he'd thought.

Houjou had kept a keen evaluating eye on the apparition not a few feet from him, it was clear that Hiei was skilled and very dangerous. That most definitely went without saying.

But there was something in his demeanor that Houjou just couldn't quite get his finger on; it was something so small and minute that even the slightest thing could cause him to shift. Thus hiding his 'soft spot' most successfully from prying eyes.

And then it clicked and his brows rose in slight surprise, this was most unexpected. "I see...so you have a twin as well. Now this makes things interesting...if you're wondering, Koenma and Kagome have the same ability to heal and there is a mole behind each of their left ears."

Hiei's eyes flickered over to Houjou's smirking form before he turned his back to them all, his eyes drifting once again to the screen before him. He still could hardly believe that she was truly real and not a mere dream, but the longer he gazed at her gentle features the more he desired to touch her.

'Soon, soon I shall be with you and no one shall ever take you from my side. I swear it.'

Shaking his head at Hiei's far off look, Yusuke glared at Koenma. "Alright binky boy, spill it! What the hell is really going on here and how did you know about all this?!"

The Toushin had a hunch and if he was correct, then Koenma was guaranteed a black eye.

"I love my sister Yusuke and like any brother," his eyes drifted over to Hiei's back, "I want her to be safe and happy."

Turning his eyes back to his long known friend, Koenma took a deep breath, "I don't want her to die, so yes. I inspired the dream connection between Hiei and Kagome, but what I didn't expect was that it would actually work both ways."

Narrowing his eyes angrily, Yusuke gripped Koenma's chin and glared right into his face even as he bared his fangs in a warning, "no riddles, no bullshit, explain!"

Closing his eyes, Koenma nodded his head, "I thought only Hiei would be effected by the dreams, but Kagome was as well. Just press that big blue button there on my desk and it will all make sense."

Confused by Koenma's still cryptic words, Yusuke moved to do just that, only to find that Hiei had beaten him to it. The screen flickered for a moment before a brilliant picture of a large sakura tree came to life; its petals were falling as the wind blew through its branches.

'What the hell is this?!' But as he took a closer look, Yusuke's eyes widened at what he saw.

There was Kagome, just sitting there under the tree a gentle smile on her lips. Then a child's voice shouted in the distance and Kagome rose to her feet, a look of utter joy on her face as she took off running down a large grassy hill.

As she ran another form came streaking across the field and for a moment Yusuke thought it was Hiei, but when Kagome's arms wrapped about the small form before lifting it, his jaw dropped in utter shock.

It was a little girl. Her deep purple eyes were wide as she smiled happily, "mama!" She cried and Yusuke flinched when he heard Hiei's low growl.

Kagome's smile deepened before she lifted her head, her eyes darkening in an emotion Yusuke had seen only a couple of times. Love.

"Daddy's come back mama!" The little girl's voice only seemed to cause Hiei more pain as what sounded almost like a whimper was ripped from his throat. The sound was so pitiful that Yusuke moved to console his friend when something else on the screen caught his attention.

There, standing not five feet away from Kagome was Hiei. There was no way he could mistake the youkai, but it didn't make sense, if Hiei was standing in Koenma's office then how could he be...and that's when it clicked.

This was a dream, a fantasy. But, whose was it?

Hiei's body had gone stock still the moment the other him had made his appearance, but his eyes returned to Kagome once again as her soft voice spoke but one word. "Hiei."

And that was it; he wasn't able to take it anymore. Sinking to his knees, his voice came out broken and pained, "Kagome."

A/N- Alright then, this is the end of this chapter. I do hope it was worth the wait. More will be explained next time.

Here are the Japanese words I used-

Miko- Holy woman with purifying powers

Youkai- Demon

Mate- Wife/Spouse

Katana- Long sword

Neko- Cat

Sakura- Cherry Blossom

Until next time then.

May the Fluff Be With You!
