Alright this chapter is a little short but I like it. I want to thank everyone for the review's, I love them. Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Kagura smirked at the hatred eye's that stared at her, she made her way up to the front. Just as she took her seat, she looked into the eye's of her student's. She gave them a warm smile, and a nod as in acknowledging them at that moment. She turned her focus to the lawyer that was representing Hiei, as he asked her a few questions.
" Your name is Kagura Tashi, am I correct." He asked stating for the fact, she replied with a yes. He nodded his head, " May you tell the court how you witnessed my client's states when he entered your room for class."
She began, " Hiei is a wonderful child, he has great grades, is one of the most intelligent child I have in my class. His work in school is marvelous, but it's his appearance that I have been concerned for. He would always come wearing the same thing, he would have bruises, his hair would be a mess, and his clothes would always be torn. There was an incident when he actually came to school limping." Everyone gasped at what they heard. Kikyo was clinging to an enraged Inuyasha, as he wanted to pound the idiotic man. Kagome squeezed even tighter, silent tears leaked out. Hiei just watched what was happening, he wasn't thinking, but for the first time in a long time, he felt relief. Some one actually cared about him, and it was people his obviously didn't even reconsider.
" Here is one witness, she is the one who interacted with him the most, a concerned teacher. Does that not even convince one of you," the jury just stayed silent.
Genkai could tell that they were impatient, they didn't want to talk because they only had one job to do, and that was to make a decision. She was able to tell that were already to decide, she slapped down her little hammer. " That is enough Higurashi," he turned to her, and bowed his head. " Now are you the jury ready," she asked the impatient jury, they all nodded their heads, got up and made their way out of the court room.
Naraku eye's twitched, he knew what he was going to get, jail. He decided that he was going to run for it, just as he slide out of his seat quietly, he backed up towards the door.
People seemed to have notice because they watched as he started getting up, and then he bolted towards the door. Naraku seen his exit, he was so close until he seen someone standing in front of the door. He readied his arm, and socked him right in the face, just as Naraku fell to the ground from the impact.
Then the man havored over the fallen Naraku, with a smirk on his face with his pale face. With his ever so long hair, silver that was pulled into a ponytail, was Sesshomaru. His amber eye's glinted with achieve ness with his action. His police form indicated that he had a reason to do it, and his badge was something greater. Sesshomaru picked Naraku up, and pushed him up against the wall. He then put the hand cuffs on him, will whispering into his ear, " How does it feel to be man hassled," as he pulled away. He started leading Naraku back to his seat. " You must think like an idiot if you think I'm going to let you run away like a coward. You are going to pay the price for hurting my wife's student." As he pushed him into his seat, he said. " I'll make sure you'll be put away with some familiar friends," and backed away to a formal position waiting for his chance at taking the coward man to jail.
Naraku knew he was in trouble when dealing with Sesshomaru, he knew then that he was finished.
Genkai watched as the jury walked back into the room, as they all stood, they pronounced their decision. " We find Naraku Onigumo guilty, until further arrangements can be made for the child we will place him in the hands of the Higurashi," read a lady with blue eye's and red hair.
Kikyo, and Inuyasha jumped up for joy, will Hiei just stood from his seat, completely shocked at the hole ordeal. He was freed, he was actually released from the hold of the man that made him feel like a monster. He fell to the ground, just as Kagome did the same since his hand was in hers. Kagome stared at him with worried eye's but he cracked a smile, a genuine smile that was content. She nearly cried, but she hugged him, as he returned the gesture, finally he was free from endangerment.
Souta looked at his mother with a smile, and just returned the gesture, both content with the out come. Kagura stared with hatred eye's as her husband took the dangerous man to the back, where he will suffer in time for what he did. She turned her head to the suffering boy, she finally seen the smile she always wanted to see, she felt relief for him.
Kikyo and Inuyasha walked out of the courtroom, with Hiei and Kagome in tow. She turned her blue eye's to her brown eyed brother, and giving him a hug of gratitude. Souta just laughed, will pulling away and staring at his older twin, seeing her smile brought happiness to his life. He gave her a kiss on the temple before departing. Kikyo turned to Inuyasha, as he stared at the children who sat by one another, half asleep. Kikyo grinned then went and picked up Kagome, as Inuyasha picked up Hiei. They knew they were tried, especially Hiei. They went home, where they were going to celebrate.
That night Hiei, and the other's went home, in a better mood. Kikyo made a wonderful dinner for the celebration. That afternoon Hiei actually opened up a little, he was in a better place, with people that cared for him. He turned his ruby eye's to the person that considered him friend, and watched as she laughed, as her father tickled her, he cracked a smile, for the first time not scared of showing little emotion.
As he slept in bed that night, he wondered what his life would be like. Kikyo said that she was going to adopt him, so that he would never have to worry about anything, so that he didn't have to suffer again. He felt relieved, but not complete, as he drifted to a restless sleep, will trying to look for the light that warmed him.
It was already dark, the light that eliminated from the moon reflected it's light through his window in his room. The shadow's of furniture, and other objects, bounced of the wall. Hiei laid in his cold, small, bed that didn't have any blankets or pillow's. As he stared at the odd color wall, just blank. It was a cold night, and he knew that he was going to suffer from the bitter cold, since there was no heat.
He heard the voice of his guardian opening the door, he closed his eye's not wanting the same beating he had from earlier, or worse. Just as the man came into the room, he went to the bed, and just stood still. Then Hiei picked through one eye's as the man stared at him with loath. Hiei cringed as he seen his hand raising then falling fast, Hiei closed his eye's and screamed.
Hiei jolted out of bed, searching the room, not recognizing anything at themoment. He was panting ever so hard, as he clutched his shirt, trying to calm his heart rate. He felt some liquid falling from his face that landed on his hand. It was warm, wet, and it continued to fall as he just sat there. He wiped the tears that fell with his hand, and stared at it wondering why he was crying.
He ran out of his bed, feeling the knew emotion of loss, sad, and something that he wasn't able to figure out. He ran to her room knowing that he needed her warmth, it was the only thing that made him feel better. He ran right threw her door, and jumped into her bed, startling her. He dug further, looking for the warmth of her body to reassure him that she was really there, and that he was having yet another horrible dream. As he felt the warmth he was looking for, he wrapped his arms around the frame that was the same size as his, and embraced her tightly.
Kagome awoke with a startle as she felt something wrapping their arms around her waist, she turned as she found the black hair of her friend. She gasped as she seen him trembling as he dug his face into her pajama's, tears leaked out from his closed eye's and he was shacking, his grip was tight. She turned her body so that it was facing his. She wrapped her arms around him, knowing that was what he needed, she debated if he was crying because he had a nightmare. But then again it had to be worse then the normal because she has never seen her cold friend cry.
Hiei calmed a little as he felt his special person embracing him, he felt her warmth, and was content. He quieted his crying, as he just relaxed in her arms, more liked slumped. He opened the creak of his eye's as he stared at the wall, with his head right at her chest. He huddled closer, wanting reassurance, that she was there and that he was just dreaming.
Kagome felt him relax, as he leaned further into her embrace, and seated himself there. She didn't ask anything, she didn't have to, because as he pulled away and stared into her blue eye's, she knew that he was going to tell her.
" I.. I ..," he didn't know where to start, he had feelings that seemed to have piled up, and they seemed to burst at once. He couldn't explain any of what he was feeling, but all he knew was that he needed someone there for him at the moment. He felt her hands on his shoulder, as she stared onto his eye's that were filled with emotion.
" Hiei you don't have to say anything," she said as she wiped his tears that continued to fall, " You have no reason too." He knew she understood his pain, it was like her, she was so sweet, so innocent. Her eye's that were so wise for a child her age, but he did want to tell her, she had to understand so that she would be the person that soothes him. " There is no more reason for you to suffer, he's locked away, your safe," she said as she cupped his face in her hands. " I don't understand what's happening to you at the moment, I don't need to." She then wrapped her arms around him drawing him back into her arms, for comfort she knew he needed. The feeling of being loved, what he should of received from the beginning, and understanding, what a child needs to know so that they don't feel uncertain, and the most important thing is wanting, they need to know that their wanted, that their not alone.
Hiei felt the understanding that she was giving him, what he really needed, all the feelings his never received before. He lied his head on her shoulder, as he felt the warm water that fell onto his hand, he knew then that she was crying. " You don't have to suffer alone Hiei-kun, I'm here for you, okasan and otuosan are here as will, and many other's. You don't have to cry alone anymore, I'll cry with you." With that said Hiei let himself go, he cried for everything, and anything. His life, what he wanted and really needed, happy at the fact he had it, and it was all to this little girl. Kagome, his first friend, and maybe his only, he would open up to her, because he knew now that she was going to be there for him, when he needed her.
He clung to her, cried with her, because he needed to let out all the emotions that built up over the years, his feelings of lose, loneliness, deserted, and unwanted. They were being revived by this one person, because she opened up to him, she gave him what he, and for the first time in a while he felt at home.
