~Forbidden Roses~
Yuusuke growled, careful not to move the shuddering girl in his arms. "What the fuck does he mean what is his? Fucking bastard. Kagome belongs to no one."
"Kaze put Kagome through many experiments and torture. If she were a normal human, she wouldn't have lasted through the first. He has twisted her into something unnatural, something forbidden, unholy-"
"You will cease your talking before I cut out your tongue, brat!" Sesshoumaru snarled. Koenma quickly snapped his mouth shut with a small whimper.
Yuusuke placed Kagome on a nearby couch. She whimpered and he stepped away. A multicolored flash came from Kagome's body. When the flash was gone, the team, prince, and lord watched in awe as she transformed again. Her hair had grown to the back of her knees. The right half of her hair was ebony, the left was silver. The black half of her hair had red and orange highlights while the silver half had green and blue highlights. The left eye was silver black and neon green like her first transformation. Like her second transformation her right eye was gold, orange, and white. The symbol on her forehead turned into a six pointed star. Each point had a symbol that represented an element. There was a flame for fire, a snowflake for ice and water, a crescent moon for night, a sun for daylight, a rose for plant life and a fang for animals. On her claws, her left hand, which was white, had frozen roses on them. Her right hand, her black claws had tigers eyes that reflected flames. Her skin was tan and looked like it was imbedded with ice crystals. The right half of her lips were a lifeless blue, the right a luscious red. Her eyelids matched her eyes in color. Her clothing was similar to what the character BloodRayne wears in the video games. Instead of red, there was gold. On her exposed stomach, there was a tattoo of a Tiger protecting her cub and going down her arms were thorny vines. She wore black fingerless gloves that ended at the wrist. The other occupants in the room stared at her as she lost consciousness and collapsed on the couch.
Silence filled the room. All eyes stayed on Kagome as she laid unmoving on the couch.
"I wonder," Kurama started, breaking the silence and catching everyone's attention. "Just how many different forms does Kagome have?"
"She only has the three. This one in particular is the hardest one to sustain."A small, female voice answered from behind them. They all turned to find a small girl amongst their midst. Her features seemed so sad, yet she had no frown.
"And who might you be young miss?" Kurama questioned.
"How do these people keep getting in here?" Koenma growled.
Kurama paid no mind to him and took a step towards the girl. She flinched as if he were going to hit her, and took a step back.
"Who I am… doesn't really matter. I came here to check on her, and to warn you." The little girl pointed a tiny finger at Kagome.
"How do you know my sister?" Yuusuke asked, careful to keep his distance from the little girl.
"I don't really know myself… I just… know things about her." She looked at Kagome. "I've heard things about her. I think."
"Heard about her from who?"
She winced and shook her head. Fear had replaced the blank look on her face.
"Something just told me to help her. I had to help her before I left. You'll tell her what I said right? About her forms?"
Kurama nodded."Where are you going if I may ask."
"I don't really know about that either, I can sense something coming for me. Something bad. I won't be able to stop it. I don't know how to stop it. It's coming for me." She whimpered. She looked at Kagome again.
"She'll only have the three forms, and they don't last long, which is a good thing… cuz then it'll be easier to hide. People don't like us forbidden children. They hate us. They don't want us to exist." She shuddered. "The three you just saw are the basic forms, but since she didn't go through the whole treatment they're the only ones she'll have. If she'd gone through the whole treatment," She shuddered again and shook her head, "She'd be like me. She only has the basic three, her demon form, and her human form. Her powers vary from different forms. For example, any demon powers or traits she has are restricted to her demon form. It's the same for her elemental powers. The powers she can use are indicated by her forehead. The last form is the only one where she can use all of the elements but it's the most painful one and it's hard to sustain for long periods of time. That's all I can tell you, I'm sorry for not being more helpful." The little girl walked over to Kagome. She kissed her on the cheek. "I hope you stay safe." She whispered.
She stood and turned to Hiei. She walked up to him and reached into the bag by her hip. The girl looked to be about five, and was much shorter than Hiei. She pulled out a sleeping cub and looked up at Hiei with pleading eyes. "This is Tora. He's only a cub but he's my best friend and I don't want him to get hurt. Will you please take care of him for me? I promise that he'll be a good help in battle when he's older! Please!" she pleaded looking at him. Hiei looked at the little girl, he was surprised that she wanted HIM to take care of the cub when she didn't even know him.
"Hn, why would you trust your friend with me when you don't know me?" he asked looking at her curiously. She looked down at her feet for a moment, then back at him.
"Because you grew up a forbidden child, just like me. I know how you feel, alone because people hate you when they don't even know you. It's not fair is it?" She looked at the cub she was holding, "Nobody wants you, and nobody cares what happens to you. All because of something that you had nothing to do with. Demo, Tora isn't like that. He doesn't care that we're forbidden. Plus, he knows how we feel too. I'm the only person he had. Please… I don't know anyone else who would understand him like you would," she said. The tears in her eyes began to fall. Hiei nodded and took the offered cub. The little girl smiled and hugged one of his legs.
"Thank you" she whispered. She then backed away.
A flash of black light and a menacing looking portal appeared right beside her as a huge, ugly looking demon came out of it. Its eyes were an ugly yellow color and his fangs were dripping with poison. It looked around frantically until its eyes landed on the little girl. She stared at it with defiant fear in her eyes. She tried to back away but it kept advancing towards her. It grinned at the scared little girl.
"AH! There you are! Kaze has been looking for you. He's very angry with you, little hime. In fact, he's so angry he decided to give you a little punishment," the demon licked his lips, "I can do whatever I want with you, as long as I don't kill you of course. Don't worry, if you're good and do as I say I may go easy on you, or not." it's grin grew sinister.
"W-who are you?" she stuttered still trying to back away. But then, as fate would have it, she backed right into a wall. The Demon laughed darkly. The sound of metal clashing caught the little girls attention. She looked behind the ugly intruder to see the room's other occupants currently struggling on the other side of a barrier that had materialized around her and the hideous demon. They couldn't get through. Hiei, who seemed to somehow instantly form a connection with the small child, was slashing at the barrier with his sword. Kurama and Sesshoumaru were both slashing at it with their whips. Yuusuke was using his spirit gun.
WARNING: this next part may be offensive to some, and is not for little kids. It's not that bad but just a warning.
"I am Iyarashii," he said as he lunged at her pressing her against the wall. His snake like tongue slithered up and down her cheek. " I'm going to enjoy this." The girl struggled and screamed as Iyarashii started to grind up against her small body and reach his hand up the dress she was wearing and in between her legs. "Be a good girl and cooperate. This is your own fault after all, you should know better than anyone that Kaze doesn't just let his children go. You belong to Kaze, mind, body, and soul." The girls eyes widened as Iyarashii tore the bottom half of her dress apart. Iyarashii was about to go further when he was ripped off of her.
WARNING OVER
Hiei had gotten so furious his jagan had opened fully and broken the barrier. He ripped Iyarashii to shreds within seconds of reaching him. When he was done he looked over to where the girl was but she was no longer there, only a note in her place. He picked up the note and it read:
Hiei, (how did she know his name? he thought)
Thank you for agreeing to take care of Tora. Also, thank you for saving me from that demon. I know that something else, far much worse than that is coming after me so I have to go. I don't want my new friend to get hurt do I? At least, I hope we are friends. I hope Tora is a big help to you and I hope we meet again someday.
Sincerely,
Your new friend
Hiei reread the note one last time before putting it in his pocket before the others could see.
"Who was that girl?" Yusuke asked.
"Hn" Hiei replied.
"That demon, he said Kaze was looking for her?" Kurama questioned. "She's one of his experiments then? Or maybe a servant?"
Hiei glared at Kurama.
"Whoever she is, she definitely knows Kaze," Yuusuke shrugged and picked up Kagome. He walked out of the office with Kuwabara following him challenging him to a fight.
"So who do you think she was Hiei?" Kurama asked, but he got no reply.
'a new friend' thought Hiei as he walked out of the office, holding the now fully awake Tora in his arms.
