Of Eyes And Fangs

Chapter twelve


Being as young as she was, once Kagome ate her fill she succumbed to sleep's sweet call. Her soft breathing was the sole noise in the cave; the rhythmic sound allowed the demon watching over her to go deep into his thoughts.

What now?

He had the girl, which meant he had somehow managed to put a dent in Enma's plan. Really, he didn't have a clue on what those plans entailed, but if they involved a three-year-old they couldn't be good.

What kind of deity made a child an important asset to their plans anyway?

Maybe he wishes to keep this human spawn alive now, so that he can use her later.

So Enma wasn't after the girl, per se, rather what she would become. Or maybe he didn't want the runt at all and was simply pursuing the jewel that laid dormant inside of her.

That made much more sense to Hiei, but the implications were dangerous. For if the ruler of Reikai got his hands on the Shikon…

There would be slaughter, and while that would have brought forth a cruel smile on Hiei's lips, when it was brought by someone like Enma, his expression turned sour.
