Chapter 4: Now I lay me down to sleep
Rei was resting her head on the table in front of her in the restaurant of which she, Keiko, Yusuke and the others came for lunch. Kuwabara was talking with Yukina while drinking their milkshakes while Hiei was death glaring the orange haired oaf which Rei found out was dating the shorter male's sister. Kurama and Chizuru were conversing with the waitress who was shamelessly moving around to try and get Kurama to look at her long uncovered legs. Lunch was already half eaten but for some reason, more than likely the children she was carrying, she didn't want to eat the rest and fatigue had washed over her. Unknowingly, her violet eyes drifted shut and her sense of reality faded along with her consciousness.
Keiko and Yusuke were discussing names for their lil' bundle of joy, not knowing that the fire senshi was helping them bring in two, when they noticed that Rei had fallen asleep. The couple smiled and tried to not laugh at how the woman who was so in control of her appearance was slightly dribbling drool onto the table while her hands were clinched and tucked against her chest in the notion of holding a plush animal or pillow. When they finished eating their meal and ended their discussion at two names, one boy and one girl, they motioned to their friends of their sleeping songstress and asked for one of the guys to carry her back to the car to head back to the studio. With Rei securely in the arms of Kurama the gang went back to the large van that they rode in to get to the restaurant. During the ride home Rei seemed to curl up on herself and nuzzled Kurama as if he were a warm blanket or a lover which made Keiko frown slightly. Remembering what Shuichi had said she looked over to the pink haired male to see that he too was looking at the raven haired female sadly. Looking back at Rei she could have sworn she said something along the lines of 'Toushiro' or 'Yuchiro' in her slumber. Hiei was watching Yusuke's wife observe Rei's actions and caught what the raven head said. Thinking about the night that had passed he was trying to remember what exactly he saw, because that first name sounded so familiar.
The van stopped in front of the studio and everyone was spilling out when a head of nearly bleached blonde hair stood out in their peripheral vision. There was the corporate president, Tohma Seguchi, and he looked slightly pale….or at least paler than normal but the trademark smile which insinuated nothing but bad things to come was there on his thin lips as usual and next to him was a tall blonde haired male with stark golden eyes that nearly resembled the eyes of a wolf. When Shuichi spotted the blonde next to Tohma he ran past everyone and latched onto the male while smiling happily.
"Ano…..K-san, Rei-chan fell asleep during lunch. Do you know where we can lay her down?" Keiko asked the manager who walked out of the building as if on cue as Shuichi was dragging the tall blonde, which everyone learned quickly was the Eiri Yuki which he was talking about earlier that morning, back into the building.
"You can go ahead and take her home. There is something that came up at the last moment which must be taken care of. Have fun kids." An uncharacteristic answer slipped from the American's lips as a sniper rifle came to his hands and he occupied himself with adjusting the scope on the top of the gun.
"Yes, please take Hino-san home right away. She can record the final song needed for the promotional video at a later date. I know she'd like the time off too so you all have a good day." Tohma Seguchi said before a boy with deep green hue of hair ran out of the building to grab hold of his arm and drag him back into the building in a hurry.
The group of Spirit Detectives were watching the men disappear back into the building in utter confusion. They hurried back to the van so Kurama could lay Rei on the back seat while contemplating on why the men were suddenly acting so weird.
"They were pressuring Rei-chan to sing for them and then they just turn around and say she has free time and doesn't have to do the next song until some time later. I think something's up." Keiko growled slightly while looking at the tall building since they didn't leave yet.
"Well there's nothing we can do about that. At least Rei-san can now catch up on some sleep." Kurama smiled slightly before Yusuke started to tease him.
"Does a certain yoko like the spitfire or something?" Yusuke crooned before being smacked by Keiko for his lack of attention to the road.
"No, but something tells me that she needs the company of others more than anything else. I can't place it on why I think this but I just do." The red head smiled warmly before using his long trench as a blanket to cover Rei's slowly goosebumping arms.
The group took Rei back to the temple and after laying her to rest left to go back to the plans they had set before the slight interruption on behalf of the crazy crew of NG Records. Although things were going as normal there were a few of the tantei group that felt that something was really off when it came to the company president rushing to have Rei taken home and to have free time when earlier that morning all of them were threatening her contract if she didn't come in to record some songs. One of the members stayed behind though not seen by anyone to keep an eye on the slumbering surrogate of his friend. As they had suspected, a limousine pulled up to the steps of the temple before a man of harsh features stepped out with 2 other men.
"She's here for sure Kaidou?" The harsh man asked the blonde to his left who in turn nodded hastily.
"Her friends dropped her off here about 2 hours ago. She was asleep when they brought her home." The blonde said.
"Good. Now you two are to keep watch over the temple while I discuss important things with my daughter. If you hear screams or anything it'll be her screaming at me to get off this run down temple's grounds so you need not be worried about coming to protect me." Katsuhito Hino smiled sadistically before his two men bowed politely as he embarked up the numerous stairs to get to the temple.
"Daddy's here little Reiko…..and you'll be joining mommy this time. I never leave any loose ends." The man grinned before he stepped on the final step to check out the surroundings of the temple for the killer birds which would attack him everytime that he came to visit Rei.
Oddly the birds didn't appear out of nowhere and tried to peck his eyes out. With nothing in his way of getting to his daughter the man opened the shouji door and entered the temple without a word of his intrusion.
The friend who stayed watched with alert eyes as the man entered the temple and headed into the central area where Rei was laid to rest from her exhausting day. The reek of human but of also something demonic made them go into a low crouch in case of the need to rush in and snatch the raven haired pregnant woman from any potential danger. Little did he know at how right he was in his instincts and of staying to keep an eye out for potential threats to the woman who carried his friend's children.
Rei woke with a start as her stomach took a violent lurch of protest to the food which she had consumed over 3 hours prior to being home. Home? When did she get home? She looked around before seeing a small note from Keiko saying that they dropped her off since Tohma and the others sent her home. Immediately after reading the note she held a hand over her mouth and rushed to the bathroom across the hallway and allowed the contents of her lunch to fill up the toilet. Her hand was clutching her stomach tightly as she rested against the sink to ride out the nausea. Deep breaths evenly came in and out of her lungs in a slow pace. The sleep she just fell out of was at first peaceful but as she allowed her walls to fall she was forced to remember many things from when she was a child. Things she tried so hard to forget with every fiber of her being.
------------------------Flashback-----------------------
Her mother was yet again shoving her to have her hide. Daddy was drunk and angry. This would happen when one of the political gatherings would be again him. Mom was too late at completely hiding her from her drunkard father's sight when he stumbled into the room. Sakura Hino cried out in pain from her husband violently pulling a handful of hair, arms tightly wrapping around her waist and forcing her to press tightly against her husband's chest.
"Mommy!" She cried before watching daddy hit mommy across the face and with the force of the strike her mother landing hard against the coffee table before falling onto the mattress of the bed.
"Come here you little whelp. You're just as guilty." Rei felt her arm dislocate out of socket from the brute force of her father pulling her from out of the closet.
"No! Leave her alone!" Rei watched her mother throw her small frame against her husband to set her free.
The impact startled the politician enough of which Rei was let go and she ran to her other hiding place, not really needing to hear her mother's encouraging words to escape. Mommy was going to be hurt, and she couldn't do anything about it.
As the box springs above her head creaked she also heard the struggle her mother tried to put up. Her cries of him to stop, that she was willing if he'd calm down, the tearing of the beautiful midnight blue dress that she had worn to the gathering, the cries of pain from hair being pulled as well from flesh being slapped. Rei cried silently to herself as she heard her mother be raped by her drunken father, fearing what would happen if the blonde got his fill or her mother passed out from the pain.
Keeping close to the wall furthest away from reach in case of her father seeking her, Rei could only shake and cry. What could a mere 4-year-old do to save not only her mommy but herself as well.
Rei slowly opened her eyes and reached to flush the toilet. Her memories had made her feel even more nauseated giving her more time with the toilet, feeling downright dirty and gross. Even if a child is only that and is touched in a sexually stimulating way the body would betray the mind, one thing Rei knew and had to endure up until she was finally given to her grandparents.
'A girl and woman are made only to satisfy men. Learning your place early will aid me when I have an enemy.' The words echoed in Rei's head before she puked more until she could only dry heave.
Rei tried to breathe through her nose to calm her rapidly beating heart and regulate her breathing. Looking at the toilet she winced. The contents were not of the meal from a few hours ago, but of blood. Her heart sank at this. Would she be putting Keiko's children in danger is she continued to have rejection-like symptoms to the babies she was carrying? Her fist clenched tightly around the flushing lever before Rei hastily flushed the crimson liquid down the drain. Getting up and fighting to regain her equilibrium Rei was thrown back into another recall of her memories as a child.
-------------Flashback-----------
She
tried to stay on her feet, oh how she used her hate for the man in
front o fher as fuel to remain erect on her feet. Cuts burned hotly
on her back, butt, and legs from the punishment she was receiving for
mouthing off her new stepmother. The sensation of blood running down
her back made her shiver, but not in fear. Never in fear but in a
notion of repulsion to the weak body she was born in. The body and
face which mirrored her dead mother like an identical twin.
With every pelt that her stepmother delivered, the harder Rei bit her lip to not cry out in pain. The bottle of Vodka her father downed was rolling toward her feet. Hope started to dimly light in her soul. Maybe her daddy got 'alcohol poisoning' as the secretaries called it. If he got it she would finally be free but apparently that wasn't the case as she saw her father stand up and tore off his tie. No, she wasn't free, she wanted the time when daddy didn't hit mommy and called her his little bird back. She wanted what she had a 3 again although years had passed. When Rei felt the weight of her father on top of her she turned her face away from the man who was a monster, ignored the pain which came with any of her punishments as she went into her world where mommy still protected her.
Rei felt tears rolling down her cheeks at remembering the feelings of being nothing and being violated and stripped of a life she was supposed to have. Where Sakura Hino wasn't dead for nearly 10 years, killed at the hands of her husband, Where her father never was influenced by his colleague Reiji Takatori to go full speed for office of Prime Minister and where Rei Hino would never have nightmares of her mother never being there or fear when her father would knock the door down to spread her out and hurt her in every capable way of which were exercised on her mother before her.
As the emotional turbulence subsided by the sheer willpower of the stubborn war matriarch she now pondered on why she saw a series of years of abuse, brought forth by her father, before her eyes. Her answer was sudden, painful and obvious.
"Didn't I tell you long ago my sweet little Reiko….you're daddy's and nobody else's." Her eyes were wide, body now smacked hard against a wall with a crushing force against her windpipe cutting her air off to her lungs.
Out of sheer instinct Rei tried to summon her fire to blanket her for protecting but to only make a silent scream of pain as a bracelet on the man's wrist glowed a haunting black.
"I don't think so Rei-chan. Daddy had some help in making sure that what ever protection you had would fail. I'm here to take you to where your mother is. You've tarnished my name long enough." Katsuhito smiled sickly at her like he would a political enemy.
A smile which displayed his intention, the perverse and deadly grimace give way which made many of his enemy have fear so strong of which her won, by default, the highest spot in the government. Even killing off his colleague to get it and getting away with the murder of Reiji Takatori, a man far more powerful than he was, was a feat that could nearly crown one as king if not give him the pedestal of a god.
Rei now cursed at herself from sealing her powers away, not caring about the reason as to why although her heart stated otherwise giving her the knowledge that the cause of her forgetting was solely psychological.
Although suffocation never had affected her, whatever he had on his wrist was actually having an effect on her. She lifted her hands and clawed at the hand that was choking her, coughs and wheezes barely making it out of her restricted larynx.
"The ones that did them in gave this to me to take out the last one. Rejoice though before I kill you I'll reinstate and put back in your head where your place is. Too bad the child you're carrying has to suffer for your sin." Katsuhito chuckled before tightening his grip on her throat and tearing the maternity shirt she was wearing down the middle.
Now in survival mode, Rei's thoughts were in a panic. This man was going to kill her and hurt the children that for one are not hers and two have done nothing to deserve death. Mustering all the strength she had, Rei shot her right leg out in attempt to get him in the kneecap. Her life was always expendable but never a child's.
"Ah! I don't think so. My you're such a selfish bitch aren't you? Trying to see and hold Earth's future in your arms. The real question though is why did they try to save you? You are of no real importance so why? Well the answer doesn't matter anymore." Katsuhito chuckled while rubbing Rei's slightly swollen stomach and pulling out a knife.
Seeing the knife come out from the fine Armani suit, he knew he had to step in and now, but as he thought this his right arm started to burn and he was already in the room with his sword to the politician's throat.
"Its best advised that you step away from her and now would be preferred unless you don't want your head." His blood red eyes glared the man down with disgust.
"Oh ho….you have a bodyguard. Feh, I'm not the only one who wants you dead little Reiko. There are many who want to feast over your corpse." Katsuhito stepped away, Rei sliding down the wall while trying to hold her shirt closed.
"But the question about that is this….'when it is the promised day the final one shall drop the tool of destruction wielded by their dead sister' the world will end won't it? You can't save creation without destruction isn't that why the illegitimate children twins of Mars and Saturn were given their duties as the harbingers of balance and destruction?" Katsuhito chuckled.
"That won't happen." Rei growled lowly.
"Long live the White Lunarian Kingdom." Was barely past his lips before Rei yelled out in frustration and got past Hiei to wrap her hands around her father's throat.
"You filthy son of a bitch! Don't you dare mock me!" Rei seethed in her mother's tongue while burying her nails into his flesh.
"Kill me now, it won't help you any." A barely audible statement came from the choking man.
From the bracelet, Rei's hands were bleeding and her breathing was labored. Hiei yanked Rei off the man and held her tightly to him as the blonde male ran.
"What the hell is your problem? Are you suicidal stupid woman?" Hiei growled while Rei shook in his arms.
Before a whimper of warning could escape her lips, Rei violently coughed up blood and fell into unconsciousness leaving a very surprised Hiei. Upon closer inspection of her throat and hands Hiei could see large bruises and marks that seemed to be similar to burns or blunt strikes there. He was watching the entire time but was puzzled as to how she could get the injuries that she got. Now shifting her to where he could carry her back to her room the demon stopped for a moment when he saw something flash past his Jagan.
Rei was holding her rounded stomach in agony. Blood rolled off of her lips and to the ground as she writhed in pain of sorts. Her hands clenching and pulling at her shirt as blood now came from her mouth in splotches like vomit.
'No….these children aren't going to die because my body rejects them!' Her voice was small, near a whisper, with pain laced in.
Hiei's blood red eyes looked down at the sleeping woman and then to her stomach. Seeing how much the flat space had expanded rapidly for the past near two months it astonished the demon. No human woman could have a baby develop this rapidly unless she was a hybrid between a yokai and human. It puzzled him beyond words. As he laid her down in the bed, sudden curiosity overcame him when he went to put the blanket over her. He figured, although as out of character as it was, that Rei would not want to be in a shirt that was ripped up and looked toward the pile of clean maternity clothes that were on the dresser. Taking just a random pale burgundy shirt he changed Rei out of the torn shirt. Looking down at her stomach his curiosity still lingered at the size of her stomach. This curiosity was now being a nuisance….if not an enigma and to kill it the demon sighed exasperatedly before placing a tentative hand over the small lump that held the children in the spitfire's body.
'Finally', he thought as he was about to remove his hand from the soft material of the shirt that covered her stomach.
Eyes widened at what he felt with his hand and from what he sensed as well. He felt small feet kicking against his hand and could feel out the life forces of two and not one. Looking at Rei and then to her midsection again the demon was flabbergasted. Did Yusuke and Keiko know that there were two and not one? Did Rei know? How the hell were the babies developed this far when only 2 months have passed since Dr. Sagara told the detective and his wife that this woman was pregnant with their children? The demon was confused and intrigued at the same time. After covering Rei with a blanket, Hiei took the desk chair that was next to the window and sat next to her bed and watched the door cautiously before picking up Rei's cell phone and calling Yusuke.
"Hey detective. Someone just tried attacking Hino….she's fine I stayed behind….no….no…..you can if you want doesn't matter to me. She's passed out right now from the shock of the attack. Che, whatever detective." Hiei grumbled thoughout the call before hanging up and slowly getting up before something caught his sharp hearing.
'Toushiro….Toushiro….' Were whispers at first before the raven haired female screamed and arm was stretched as if reaching for someone before her.
Without second thought or any care to the voice that was warning him, Hiei tore his bandana off and opened his jagan to dive into the Rei's mind.
There was Rei, covered in blood and face wet with tears spilling like waterfalls while a white haired boy was bleeding, if not already dead, in her arms.
'Don't cry. I swore to not be the one to cause you pain.' The snowy haired boy weakly smiled before coughing.
'Don't speak Toushiro….the healers are on their way. Don't expend anymore energy than need be.' Rei whimpered while holding her hand over the huge gaping hole that was in the boy's midsection/chest to try and apply pressure to stop the bleeding.
The obviously blind boy only smiled before his eyes rolled back.
'Sayonara…..Oo---' The boy whispered before Rei went into a fit and her hair changed from black to blood red along with her eyes.
'Bastard…..how dare you kill him!!!!!!' And all there was was white and then darkness.
Hiei was yet again knocked violently out of the woman's mind but this time with what he saw in tact but a headache followed as well as violent pain in his right arm. The pain was so terrible that the demon was on the ground gripping his arm and contemplating on chopping the damn appendage off.
During Hiei's lapse of pain, Rei was crying out the names of those she lost over and over….stuck in a nightmare that she'd forget the moment she would wake.
