Meanwhile…
Hiei froze for a moment in disbelief. The pain returned to his head as her connection opened violently. He grabbed his head in clear pain, but loved every second of it. Hatorra also felt a throbbing in her skull. It wasn't as clear as Hiei's, but the connection was back.
"Daddy! Mommy! Where are you?" Kasei wailed.
Hiei focused in on her location.
"We're here Kas! Just hang on we're coming!" Hatorra shot through their link.
Hiei's head snapped up.
"I have their location. I know where they are," he said quickly and took off with the rest following suit.
In the Cave…
Daisuke laughed with relief as his cousin took in another breath. He leaned in and kissed her hot forehead.
"Stay awake, Kasei," he said and she nodded weakly.
Yuki kissed her next.
"You sure had us scared cousin!" he said rubbing her hair.
Kasei gave a small smile. Hideki placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
"I'm glad you're breathing again," he said quietly.
Kasei managed a grin.
"Kasei!" a voice called outside.
Daisuke turned quickly.
"That's aunt Torra!" he yelled and ran for the entrance.
As he got there six figures dropped in front of him.
"Daisuke!" Kat called to her son, who ran to her quickly.
Hatorra and Hiei ran inside the cave with Yusuke and Kuwabara. Hatorra dropped down next to her daughter and gently pushed some hair out of her face.
"Hey Kas," she said smiling with tears still falling from her eyes.
Kasei smiled tiredly.
"H-Hi m-mommy," she said hoarsely.
"H-Hi d-daddy," she managed and Hiei offered her a small smile while rubbing her head.
Kat made her way through and immediately emitted a strong green glow.
"She'll be fixed up in no time, but she's completely wiped of ki. She needs a lot of rest," she said quickly.
Hatorra nodded quickly and let her head rest on Hiei's shoulder. He glanced down at her and she sighed wiping her eyes. She was trembling severely, but seemed to be calming down some. She lay next to Kasei as Kat healed her.
"You gave us quite the scare there Kas," she whispered and Kasei looked at her tiredly.
"S-Sorry m-mommy," she mumbled.
Hatorra smiled and touched her daughter's cheek lovingly.
"She can rest now. She needs it," Kat said stopping.
Hatorra watched her daughter close her green eyes and fall into a deep sleep. She watched her breathing steadily and then sat up. She looked at Kat.
"She'll be fine Torra. In fact, her internal injuries weren't as bad as I thought," she said confused.
"That's because of Yuki," Daisuke said quickly.
"He healed her," Hideki added.
The group stared at the blue headed boy, who grinned sheepishly. Kuwabara stared at his son proudly.
"Looks like you're ready to learn some stuff from your dad," he said and Yuki grinned happily.
"But her breathing stopped…how did it come back?" Yusuke asked curiously.
"That would be Hideki's doing. He did a human procedure on her to make her breathe," Daisuke said quietly.
Hideki looked at Daisuke, shocked he got the credit. The group looked to Hideki and Yusuke grinned.
"That's my boy," he said proudly ruffling his son's hair.
Hatorra hugged all three of them tightly.
"Thank you for looking out for her," she whispered and they hugged her back tightly.
Hiei nodded to the three and they grinned. He scooped Kasei up carefully and held her securely within his cloak. Hatorra looked out the cave entrance and frowned.
"Uh…it's snowing," she said in disbelief.
Everyone walked to the entrance. Their eyes widened.
"It doesn't snow in the Makai," Kurama said tensely.
Kat sniffed the air and frowned.
"What is it?" Hatorra asked.
"That smell…it's so familiar. Like my old home," Kat said confused.
Hatorra's eyes widened.
"As in the Koorime islands?" she asked shocked.
Kat furrowed her eyebrows and was about to speak when something hit the floor.
"What was that?" Yusuke asked.
It was really dark and they could barely see. Kurama walked over to it and his eyes widened.
"It's a body…" he said shocked.
"A body?" Kuwabara repeated unsure.
Hatorra covered her sensitive nose.
"It's a Koorime," she said and then looked up.
Her eyes widened.
"Oh my god…the islands…" she murmured and the others looked up slowly.
Fire covered the frosty islands. They were cracking and snow fell from them. So did bodies. Someone was throwing them off, or they were jumping.
"We need to go now," Hiei said to his mate.
She looked at him.
"But the islands—" but he cut her off.
"—Kasei needs to go home and rest. Whatever's happening up there is none of our business. Let someone else deal with it," he snapped.
Hatorra watched her mate take off in the other direction. She sighed.
He never had any love loss for those islands…
She took off behind him into the forest. The rest soon followed.
In the Ningenki…Genkai's Temple…
They entered the temple before everyone else. Besides looking like it burnt down, the inside was rather put together thanks to Yukina and Keiko. They had stayed awake to wait for the group.
"The children are fine. They're right behind us," Hatorra said to Keiko and Yukina kindly.
Then she followed her mate upstairs. Hiei placed Kasei down on the bed carefully. The little girl looked content now. Hatorra leaned against the doorway watching him remove her shoes and socks. He took off her small jacket and let her hair down from its ponytail. Then he covered her with the blanket and stared at her for a moment. Hatorra walked up to him and let her hand touch his shoulder gently. He seemed to come out of his trance and took her hand tightly in his.
"She's going to be okay," she whispered.
Hiei nodded and stood up. He turned to her and kissed her intensely much to her shock. After regaining her composure, she returned the kiss. When they pulled away he had his eyes still closed and leaned his forehead against hers.
"I need you…" he whispered bringing his hands to her face.
Hatorra's eyes widened. Hiei's eyes were still closed and he furrowed his eyebrows as if in pain.
"Please…" he whispered huskily.
She looked at Kasei's sleeping form and then to her mate who stared back at her with a look she couldn't decipher just yet. He caressed her face lovingly and she nodded slowly.
"Okay…" she said quietly.
He kissed her again and they both carefully lay on the floor, their lips never disconnecting. There was an eagerness in him; a hunger that she was surprised to see. He removed her pants quickly and his hands found their way under her shirt. She began to work on his belts and soon they had dragged an extra blanket over their naked bodies.
She lay on top of him as she gently kissed his chest and playfully licked and nibbled his neck. He shuddered and let his hands grip her waist firmly. He nuzzled her head and kissed her, raising his lower body to meet hers. Her eyes widened slightly as his hard length grazed her thigh. His breathing was heavy and his ki was going crazy.
Hatorra adjusted herself and slowly came down on him. Hiei grabbed his head and let out a deep breath. Hatorra let out silent moans as she began moving with a rhythm. He gripped her waist tightly as she slowly rose up and down. They could go no faster because they did not want to wake their sleeping daughter. She could feel his length pulsating deep within her.
Hiei sat up with her quickly and held her to him. His mouth met hers again in a passionate kiss. He bit her neck softly and licked his mark making her shiver. He pulled away and looked at her, his eyes glazed over some.
"I want you to mark me," he said in a whisper.
Hatorra's eyes widened. She tried to catch her breath as they slowed their pace.
"W-What?" she was unsure she heard him correctly.
A mark on a woman ensures others she is taken. It's like a wedding ring telling others to keep away. But it can fade if either mate dies. They can move on.
A mark on a man is quite different. If the woman marks the man as well, they are bonded forever. That means if one dies, they cannot love another. The marks are permanent. They never fade. No one moves on.
They had discussed the marks only once before. When she was pregnant with Kasei he had asked her if she wanted to mark him. She had said there was no need, because if their future was the same as on the tapes, they faced death every second. In truth, she didn't want him to not be able to move on if she died. The future was so uncertain. She knew she would never move on and she had made that clear to him. But he deserved a chance to be happy after she died, which for some odd reason she believed she would die before him.
"Mark me," he said gruffly.
Hatorra stared at her mate.
"I could never move on if I lost you, why do you not see that?" he asked her quietly.
Hatorra swallowed hard and kissed him roughly. He turned her over quickly so that he lay on top of her. His slow thrusts were driving her crazy and soon she felt her release was imminent. She wanted to let out a loud moan, but had to remind herself her daughter was sleeping in the same room. Hiei lifted her leg higher. She could tell he was close as well.
She shut her eyes tightly and opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Her eyes snapped open and Hiei saw they were a soft gold. She was close. She opened her mouth as her canines grew longer and her fluffy, white ears popped up. Hiei lifted his head up and to the side slightly. She hesitated.
"I have never been more certain of anything, then right now, in this moment. I have never asked you for much and yet you have given me everything. I am asking for this, so please, give it to me," he breathed heavily.
Hatorra kissed his neck and licked the area she was to bite. Hiei gave one final thrust that sent them both over the edge. Hatorra sunk her teeth into his neck and felt his body tense up. His grip tightened around her waist and he buried his head in the crook of her shoulder trying to suppress the sounds of pain and pleasure coursing through his body. A soft grunt escaped his lips and she quickly covered his mouth with her hand.
She waited until her rush faded and then she slowly removed her fangs, tasting his blood in her mouth. She licked her lips and then licked the wound gently. He pulled back and kissed her, tasting his blood on her lips. She smiled as he brushed away a few stray tears with his hand.
"Why are you so afraid of the future?" he whispered.
Hatorra sighed softly.
"Because we have seen it," she answered.
Hiei shook his head.
"But it is different now. Those things that happen cannot happen now because Enma is dead," he said quietly.
Hatorra touched his face gently. The mark had stopped bleeding.
"It is different, that's true. But will it be better? Or worse?" she asked and Hiei stared at his mate.
"No one can answer that Hatorra. We need to live in the now. Whatever happens, we will deal with it as we always have…together," he said and she smiled.
"You're a good man," she said and Hiei rolled his eyes.
"Don't let that get around," he said and she giggled as he kissed her.
He rolled to his side and pulled her to him. He took in her scent and kissed the back of her neck before they both fell asleep.
Intense? Maybe. I made up the whole marking process so please just go with it. Oh and I am introducing everything for a reason. Everything will be explained. It all comes together. I hope you like it! More to come! Please remember to try to give me reviews! They fuel me! :D
