AAAAAWWWWWWRIGHT!!!! I originally made the first chapter as the whole story!!! That's how it was intended to be! BUT, the day after I posted it, I got a billion reviews wanting more!!! THANK YOU!!!! So, here it is....YOU'RE SO GOOD LIKE THAT ch.2!!!!!!!! Disclaimer: I do not own YYH. That's Yoshihiro Togashi-sama, the great and respected. I DO, however, own Kuro Kaze!!! She is MINE!!!!! And any other Original characters. (if you want to use her, email me and I'll ponder it!!!)
Hiei sighed. It had been two weeks after the incident. He hadn't been seen by anyone, not even Kurama. He had been with Kuro. And she had been with him. His new kingdom loved him, but he hated being in the public eye. She did as well, but not as much. So, he came back to the ningenkai for a small vacation.
"Baka ningens....Baka youkai...Dangit." He looked very weary. Taking great strides, he walked through the night air to Kurama's apartment, that he used to share with the youko. But, no longer was that true.
"Hiei. I haven't seen you for a while," Kurama's voice made him jump.
"Hn. I need to...gather my things. I've moved in with...an old friend."
"Ah. Might that friend be Kuro Kaze?"
"Hn." He started walking into the ningen building, blinking.
"Hiei, you've changed the prophecy, haven't you?" The youko followed him.
"Kurama...It wasn't that oaf, Kuwabara. That's all I can say," He said.
"Koenma wants to know where Kuro Kaze is. Atleast to see that the prophecy is not Fulfilled," Kurama told him in a stern voice. "And, as the new King of the western Makai region, you should atleast comply."
"How do you know that?"
"It's all over the youkai loop. I have my connections."
"I am no king." The small demon glared daggers at his comrade, and opened the apartment door.
"Long time no see, Hiei." Yusuke's voice dripped out of the shadows of the front room.
"Hello, Yusuke."
"Where have you been, Hiei?" Koenma stepped forth.
"That is none of your business. I served my sentence to you a long time ago," He said. He tried to plan an emergency escape route, just in case.
"Where is Kuro Kaze?" Koenma looked at the demon.
"Like I should know. All I know is that she is in the Makai." He started for his old room.
"Fine, Your Highness. You won't have to tell me."
"Good. I'm not." Hiei was thoroughly angered. His old friends were now turning against him, just for the sake of one so-called 'criminal'.
They watched him gather what little he had, in an old drawstring bag. He could still hear the stinging words in his ears as he walked away from the building, into the night.
Kurama looked at what his old friend had left. They hadn't given him much time to clean out everything. He still had a drawer full of pictures, some old and some new. He was going through them now.
"Hiei never even said he had this..." The youko gently laughed. It was a black and white one showing Kurama sleeping with a teddy bear in his hands.
He looked at another one. Hiei was asleep, and on his face was a drawing in black paint. Probably taken by Kuro Kaze or another friend. Then one showing Kuwabara ('Amazing,' Kurama thought.) kissing Yukina's cheek. On the back was, in Hiei's neat scrawl, 'Memo to self: Kill the oaf.'
What Kurama saw next made him gasp. It was a color photo, of a young Hiei. He was crying. The bench he sat on was almost drenched in his tears. "I wonder..." The youko said aloud. Then he shook his head.
At this time, he became aware to the fact he was being watched. He looked to the window, where he saw the Black Wind staring at him. He opened it, and let her in.
"You haven't seen Hiei, have you? He left this afternoon, and I-" She sounded gravely scared.
"No, I thought he was back in the Makai," He said.
"I'm sorry for all of the grief I have caused. I never meant anything..." She whispered.
"That's quite alright. I surmise that the prophecy was wrong?"
"Yes. It most certainly was. I must go now. I have to look for Hiei. Thank you," She said. When he looked back, she was gone. As was his stack of pictures.
Yusuke was asleep. The T.V. in his room was on, a quiet roar of infomercials. She saw this, and slowly crept inside the room. He looked so peaceful, in his sleep.
"Urameshi-sama? Urameshi-sama?" She shook him awake. He blinked twice, then started to fire up his spirit gun at her.
"What the freaking heck are you doing here?! Who are you?!" The detective sputtered.
"It's-it's me! Kuro Kaze!"
"Who? Oh, it's you. What are you doing here in the middle of the night?!"
"Have you seen Hiei?" Her soft voice trembled.
"What? He was at Ku-"
"I've already checked at Kurama's. He.....He wasn't there either." She started to tear up.
"Oh, well, I donno what to tell you then. Sorry." He sat on the bed, looking at her.
"Okay. Th-thank you... I'll leave now," She said. He watched her swiftly climb back out of the window, and suddenly she was gone.
'Hiei....what is up with you these days?' He thought to himself. One day the demon was chewing out Kuwabara, the next he was being named King and dissappearing for days at a time.
"And just when I got to sleep, too...." He yawned and turned the T.V. off. Enough information for one night.
She sailed through the night on silent feet. Tears dropped from her face every now and then, small drops of white jewels. She had found out her true heritage. She had been found by humans, but she was a Koorime. A very rare form of Koorime, one with dark hair and green eyes. She had been fathered by an unknown sea demon, making her gentle like the waves.
She stopped. She had not known where her feet had taken her. She had come to Kazuma Kuwabara's house.
She hesitated before crouching on the window ledge. 'Would he even recognize me?' She thought.
He opened the window for her. Having sensed her getting closer, he had been watching for her.
"Hi." He scared her.
"Hi. Has Hiei been by here?" She tried to stop the tears.
"No. Why, did he just kinda skip the country?"
"Okay...Kami, please..." She whispered.
"Are...Are you alright? Has the little shrimp done anything you?"
She laughed, half-heartedly. "No...It's just that...you wouldn't understand, Kazuma."
"Try me." He beckoned her in, and shut the window. The night air was cold.
She sat in his desk chair. All her whole, sad story just came tumbling out at once.
"Hiei....has been so good to me...I don't deserve him.
When we were...fifteen, I think...I was being attacked by all these huge demons. They thought I was a girl they could hold for ransom, the old Makai King's daughter. Then Hiei came and...saved me..." She looked down. "We got to talking.....and we clicked. Then he had to go, and I had to leave for the ningenkai."
"And you saw him that day at Koenma's. Right?" He looked at her, noticing new things about the mysterious visitor.
"Yes...And when I saw him, and you in the same room, I knew that he knew."
"And?"
"And....look, if the prophec were fulfilled, we would be rulers of the whole Makai. But now, Hiei and I are rulers of the western section of the Makai. He hates it....more than I do." She stuffed her palms full of Hiruseki, the tear-drop gems, into her cloak pockets.
"You're a Koorime, aren't you?" He looked at one she had dropped. "Like Yukina-chan."
"Y-yes. I am...and Hiei isn't very happy about that, either..."
"You mean he's mad at you?"
"I....that may be the case. Oh, I don't know what I can do..." She closed her emerald eyes, and sighed.
Hiei listened closely. She was spilling everything to that accursed ningen, Kuwabara. Standing to the right of his window, he could hear everything. And Kuwabara was actually listening, with interest.
"He might still be around here," The ningen said.
"I doubt it...Ever since I told him...." She whispered, her voice shaking.
"Told him what?"
"I....can't. He would really leave me then."
"I won't tell," was all that he said.
'She believes I truly wanted to see her like this?' Hiei thought. 'It's been so long...since I first met her...and now she carries my unborn child. I am truly a bad person.'
"I....Hiei is gone becuase...I'm...I'm pregnant." She blurted. "Please, don't tell anyone, not even Kurama-san! And especially not Koenma!"
"I...won't. Uhh....congratulations," He said.
Hiei bit his lip. 'Did she really think I'm mad at her for that? How could I be?' He was beaming with pride inside. What made him go was his fear that he would not be a good father. Not anger. He thought that Kaze, of all people, would figure that out.
He looked at the few black gems in his hand. They were still warm from his eyes. 'I need to talk to Kurama. And Koenma. Then I'll tell that....ningen the conditions.'
"Thank you for listening," She said.
"No prob. Need help finding him?"
"No, I will in the morning. I have to catch the portal to the Makai." She started for the window. Hiei immediately jumped to the roof, to avoid her.
"What was that?" Kuwabara stuck his head out the window, and looked up. By that time, Hiei was already gone.
Koenma swallowed hard. "Well, Hiei. I believe you in the fact that she's with you. But....you got her pregnant? That's a bit hard for me to believe. I don't see you as a father."
"Me neither, so I thought." The small demon sighed.
"Boy, oh, boy. Are you sure you wouldn't rather go to Kurama for this? I'm not a good advice giver, Hiei," the Prince said. He was in his teenage form, sitting in his office.
"I'm tired of thinking Kurama has all the answers. And, I'm still a bit mad. At you, Yusuke, and him. But mostly him."
"That's a change. But I can understand that."
"Thank you. Now...I still don't understand the way that the Ningens arrange this whole thing." He blinked, confused.
"It is a bit complicated. You see, when a human man proposes, he gives his love a ring. And, well, they set up this whole ceremony where, by law, they are man and wife. It's called a wedding, and it happens a few months after the man gives the ring," He said.
"Kami, in the makai all they do is-"
"Yes, I konw what they do in the Makai. Frankly, I just ate and I don't want to know again."
"Sorry."
"That's okay. Now....is there anything I left out?"
"I still don't know how the ceremony goes."
"My dear demon, you need a library. Follow me." Koenma got up and showed Hiei the vast amount of knowledge, all written in books from a demon's point of view. Then, he left him in the Royal Reikai library and called an emergency meeting.
WHAT DO YA THINK? THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL THE REVIEWS AND THE COMPLIMENTS!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Chapter three is already on the way!!!! This is Edward, checking out! ^_^
