After a few months, everyone had pretty much accepted that Hiei and Sahano were mates. Hiei had moved in with her, and she taught him some of her slayer moves. She joined the Sprit Detective group, and actually had a shouting match with Koenma to keep Hiei out of prison for taking a human mate. Soon, the gang was helping her slay, and she'd let Botan take any demon's she recognized as criminals to sprit world. Usually. . .
****************************************************************************************************
"Take THAT!" Sahano yelled as she dropped into a crouch and shattered what passed for the kneecaps of the demon in front of her, then moved out of the way with a back flip. He screamed in agony and fell, throwing the boulder in his hands at her. A single blast from Yusuke's sprit gun shattered it, and Hiei darted in and scooped her into his arms, then darted out.
"Thanks sweetie." Sahano told him, peeking him on the nose. He knew it wasn't necessary but she was his mate, and he wanted to protect her. Sahano loved Hiei, so she let him protect her. Sometimes.
"Any time." Hiei told her, setting her on her feet. Sahano walked over to the crippled demon and flipped him over, planting one booted foot on his chest to keeping him from moving.
"Now, slime bag. I can either kill you now, or turn you over to my buddy Botan here to take to prison in sprit world. What will it be?"
"Go to hell." The demon spat through his cut and bleeding lips. His entire face was bruised, and covered in blood streaming from various cuts.
"Why you little. . ." Sahano's eyes flashed a bright red and she stomped on the demon's forehead, caving in his skull and killing him.
"Sahano!" Botan yelled. "I recognized him! You should have let me take him."
"Then someone had better tell the demon's that they should really NOT piss me off." Sahano muttered, stomping over to snuggle into Hiei's embrace.
"Sahano, please! Stop killing every demon you come in contact with." Botan pleaded.
"Hey!" Sahano protested, turning in Hiei's arms. "I don't kill every demon I come in contact with! I haven't killed cutie here." She motioned at Hiei.
"Yet." Hiei said gruffly, but with an amused twinkle in his eyes.
"Yet." Sahano amended with a smile. "I haven't killed Yukina, because I think she is just the sweetest thing ever. And I haven't killed fox-boy over there."
"Yet." Kurama teased.
"Yet." Sahano added with a laugh. "Keep teasing me fox-boy."
"Yes fox. Keeping teasing my mate." Hiei said in a threatening tone.
Kurama grinned and backed up, his hands in the surrender position.
"Hey! Be nice to fox boy!" Sahano scolded playfully, smacking Hiei upside the head.
"I told you to stop that!" Hiei complained as everyone laughed.
"Oh, you poor baby. Come here." Standing on tip toe, Sahano pulled Hiei's head down and kissed where she had hit him. Hiei blushed while everyone laughed again. Hiei scowled down at Sahano, then grabbed her around the waist and kissed her. Ignoring their audience, Sahano leaned against Hiei and kissed him back.
They finally broke the kiss, both of them breathless. Sahano smirked up at Hiei, her eyes so dark they seemed almost black. Hiei smirked back. He knew his mate, and he knew what the change in her eye color meant. He bent his head so that their foreheads were touching, and rubbed their noses together.
"Home?" Sahano asked huskily.
"Home." Hiei agreed. Without so much as a wave to Yusuke and the others, they left so fast that they were a blur even to Yusuke, who raised an eyebrow, making the others laugh.
****************************************************************************************************
When they got back to the apartment, Hiei and Sahano headed straight for their favorite room: the training room. Easily the largest room in the apartment, the training room had mats on every square inch of floor, and walls. Sahano had even bullied Hiei into putting mats on the ceiling after he had accidentally thrown her up into it during one of their training sessions.
There were several weighted punching bags, with several weights and weapons scattered on the floor. Sahano and Hiei quickly put everything away, then faced each other across the floor. Sahano struck first with a roundhouse kick at Hiei's head. He ducked the kick, but Sahano instantly dropped into a crouch and reversed the direction of her leg, sweeping Hiei's feet out from under him.
He recovered quickly and pressed the attack. Sahano smirked and fought back. They traded blows back and forth until Hiei's sharp eyes picked up some of her body language. Sahano had as much endurance as he did, but their patrol, and now the training session was draining her strength. Hiei seized an opportunity and tackled Sahano, pinning her beneath him.
He bent down and nuzzled her neck, nipping and kissing the ivory flesh, causing Sahano to arch her back and make a rumbling sound that sounded suspiciously like a purr.
"How about we take a break?" Hiei whispered in her ear before kissing it. Sahano simply nodded before grabbing Hiei by the ears and crushing her lips to his. Hiei smirked once before losing himself in the kiss.
They were interrupted by someone loudly clearing their throat. Sahano and Hiei jerked apart to find a young Englishman in a suit and glasses, staring at them disapprovingly.
"Who the hell are you?!" Hiei growled, not moving from on top of Sahano. He could sense that this guy wasn't dangerous. He turned his attention back to Sahano, only to see that her eyes were now bright red and groaned mentally. She was PISSED!
With a sigh, Hiei climbed to his feet. With Sahano that angry, he stood a better chance of holding her back if they were both standing. That way, he had an advantage over her height and weight wise. If he stayed on top of her, she had the agility to toss him halfway to the ceiling. . . and she looked angry enough to do it.
Sahano also jumped up.
"What the hell are you doing here?" She snapped. "I thought I lost you somewhere in the Amazon. How come the head hunters didn't get you?"
"They tried." The man said, raising an eyebrow. His voice was cold and emotionless.
"To bad they didn't try HARDER!" Sahano snarled. "What are you doing here?"
"Sahano. I am your watcher." The man spook very slowly and carefully, as if he were speaking to a very small child.
"NO your NOT!" Sahano sneered. "I already told you, Travis is my watcher, my watcher and my friend."
The older man sighed. "Sahano, I told you. Travis is dead."
"Prove it." Sahano turned her back on the older man, and seemed to remember that Hiei was in the room. She instantly made a beeline for him, and he was the attentive mate, opening his arms to her. Sahano buried her face in his chest and he kissed her hair. To his surprise, he felt tears on his shirt.
"I think you should leave." He snarled at the man. The man glared at him.
"This is none of your business little boy." He snarled.
"Brett! Leave Hiei out of this!" Sahano demanded, pulling back enough to glare at Brett.
"He needs to keep himself out of it." Brett snapped.
"I'm not 'keeping out of it'. Anything that involves my mate involves me." Hiei snapped.
At the word 'mate', Brett's eyes widened, and Sahano cursed.
"Mate?!? Sahano, you MATED a DEMON!?!" Brett screamed. Sahano laughed and reached up to remove Hiei's headband.
"Not just any demon. I bagged my very own demon thief." She took off his headband, revealing Hiei's Jaken eye. It was closed, but opened when Sahano kissed it gently. Brett's jaw was scrapping the ground.
"HIEI?!? The DEMON THIEF HIEI?!?"
Sahano giggled and leaned into Hiei. "Brett, calm down. Take a deep breath before your head explodes or you have a heart attack. I don't feel like having you die in my training room." Hiei's chest rumbled with his silent growl, and Sahano rolled her eyes. "Sorry babe. OUR training room."
"Sahano! Your LIVING with a DEMON?!?" Brett screeched. Sahano smirked at him.
"That's right Brett. I'm also having sex with him."
"SAHANO!"
"We're MATES you idiot! GOD! You are such a MORON!"
"Now Sahano, I know your upset about me being your new watcher, but. . ."
"Damn right I'm upset!" Sahano exploded, and Hiei wrapped his arms around her, holding her back so she didn't go for Brett's throat. It took him a minute to realize that tears were streaming down her face as she screamed at Brett.
"Travis was my brother you moron! My TWIN brother and my best friend! And until you jackasses on the Watchers Council can prove to me that he's dead, prove beyond a shadow of a doubt by, oh I don't know, bringing me his BODY, then I'll accept you as my watcher! Then, and only then!"
"Now Sahano. . ." Brett started, but was cut off by a sudden pressure on his throat as Hiei lifted him off the ground.
"I suggest you leave." Hiei said. His voice was calm, but all three of his eyes were cold, hard, and furious.
"Stay. . . out. . . of. . . this. . . DEMON!" Brett managed to gasp out. Hiei's eyes flashed. He lowered Brett, but tightened his grip on Brett's throat. He yanked Brett's face down to his.
That's right, I am a demon. A demon with a mate." He growled. "A mate that YOU upset!" At his words, Brett paled. He had spent his entire life studying to be a watcher, and most of that study had been on demons. He knew that demon mates were some of the closest and most in love couples there were. And male demons were very protective of their mates, going to any and all extreme's to keep them happy, often killing people who had upset them. And he had made Sahano cry. . .
Brett suddenly found himself flat on his back, ten feet from Sahano's front door.
"Don't come back." Hiei snarled, slamming the door shut. Then he moved to the bedroom where he could smell Sahano.
"Sahano?" He asked quietly. Sahano was sitting on their bed, the tears running down her face as she looked at pictures in her hand. He joined her, sitting behind her. He wrapped his arms around her and looked over her shoulder. She leaned against him, never taking her eyes off the face of the boy in the pictures.
He looked like Sahano, except a few inches taller, maybe Hiei's height, with emerald green hair and ruby red eyes that sparkled with the laugh that was on his lips as he stood behind Sahano, one arm around her waist, holding her tight against his side as she also laughed, smiling up at him.
"Is that Travis?" Hiei asked softly. Sahano nodded.
"He was a few hours older than me. Always liked to tease me that I was difficult and stubborn. He wanted to be a watcher since he was ten, like our grandfather. We all knew that I was a demon slayer, but that I might not be called."
"Called?" Hiei asked, raising an eyebrow in question. Sahano smiled up at him. "You really don't know anything about vampire and demon slayers, do you?"
"Sahano, I'm a thief in the demon world. I live there, not here. Enlighten me."
"Okay. Listen, every generation, a few girls have the possibility to become demon slayers or vampire slayers. It's done that way so that if a slayer dies, the next girl is called so you don't have to wait years for another slayer to be old enough for the job. It goes on like that until the next group of slayers is old enough. Demon slayers and vampire slayers are a pair. Demon slayers are usually either a few years older or a year younger than a vampire slayer. The vampire slayer right now is named Buffy Summers."
"And you're her partner slayer."
"No."
"But you said. . ."
"Shhh baby. Listen okay?" Sahano put a finger on Hiei's lips, smiling at him through her tears.
"The demon slayer before me was killed by a demon who found out who she was when she only a child. I think she was six. But instead of me being called, the demon slayers powers somehow passed to Buffy. So when was became a slayer, she was the most powerful slayer in history. However, when she was sixteen, she died. She drowned. One of her friends revived her with mouth to mouth, but a new slayer had already been called. And a new demon slayer. Me." The tears splashed down again and she went to the next picture. It showed a pretty girl with long dark hair and dark eyes, Sahano and Travis tumbled together on the grass, laughing.
"This was the new slayer called. Kendra, my best friend. She was two years younger than me, but very smart, and very funny. She was also serious, and more responsible and reliable then most kids my age. She and Travis were also in love. We called ourselves the 'Three Musketeers'. Then we were called to be slayers, and Travis became my watcher. Kendra and I were both ecstatic, because it meant that our group could stay together. I stayed in our home town, and Kendra went to Sunnydale, where Buffy was. I wanted to finish my last year of high school, and then I would join her. But when Travis and I got there, it was too late." Sahano closed her eyes, but the tears in her eyes still escaped. "Kendra was dead." She whispered.
Hiei turned her around and pulled her into his lap, wrapping his arms around her as she buried her face in his chest.
"Shh love. Shh." He whispered, stroking her hair as he gently rocked back and forth trying to sooth her. After a minute she pulled back and took a deep, shuddering breath.
"Then, a new slayer was called, and the Watchers Council asked to see me, something about giving me some more training. Travis didn't go with me, he wanted to spend some time alone, come to terms with Kendra's death. He went to the airport with me. I hugged him and he kissed me on the nose, he loved doing that because it made me wrinkle my nose. I laughed and told him I loved him. He told me he loved me, and would call me later. I never saw him again. They told me he was dead.
"The Watchers Council gave me a new watcher, Brett, but I hate him. I know Travis is alive. I can still sense him, I always could. And they can't prove that he's dead, his body was never found. I ditched Brett in the Amazon, and moved here. My mother was Japanese, so I knew the country and I knew the language. And then I met you and Brett shows up. I know what he wants."
"What?"
"He wants me to go to Sunnydale and be Buffy's partner. Buffy probably put him up to it. She's such a whiner. She's always looking for a way to make her job easier so she can have 'a normal life'. Well excuse me, but I like it here in Japan." She hugged Hiei tightly. "I don't want to go. I don't want to leave Yusuke and the others, I don't want to leave you."
"Your not going anywhere." Hiei promised as he nuzzled her neck. "I promise. You're my mate, and I love you. I won't let anyone take you anywhere you don't want to go."
"I love you." Sahano whispered.
"I love you too." Hiei whispered. Sahano framed his face with her hands and kissed him while slowly pushing him back onto the bed. Hiei went willingly, pulling her with him and turning out the lamp as they went past.
****************************************************************************************************
"Take THAT!" Sahano yelled as she dropped into a crouch and shattered what passed for the kneecaps of the demon in front of her, then moved out of the way with a back flip.
