Neko Yasha: first off, i'd like to thank every one who congradulated me on the baby. i feel
a hell of a lot better about it now. my fiance' thanks you too. second, i'd like to
apologize for the long wait. i was too sad to update! i finally saw the last episode of
cowboy bebop! you know, the one where Spike dies. it's sad man. really sad. i cried.
or maybe i'm just over-emotional. but still, it was sad! any way, including this one,
there's only two chapters left! *pouts* i don't wanna finish it! *sighs* oh well.
it seems like i've been working on this story forever. probably the longest thing i've ever
written. and it definately got more reviews than i've ever gotten. after i get done with
this, i'll probably do a couple one-shots. which sadly won't be lemons since that little
nosy bitch vindictive reported me last time, and i'm not risking my account. so, any way,
here's chapter 18.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Kurama's P.O.V)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i gasped and froze in my spot as i saw the snarling wolves blocking our path, the hunger
growing brightly in their sickly yellow eyes. i pulled Kioko from the small make-shift pouch
that hung from my back and hugged her to my chest protectively, glaring at the wolves,
daring them to attack. Hiei turned to me, eyes burning with determination and gestured for
me to step back, which i did obediantely. once he was sure i was in a safe place, he
swiftly pulled the headband that contained the jagan, revealing the brightly glowing third
eye. the wolf foolishly paid no mind to the threatening eye and lunged toward Hiei,
barely managing the scratch a thin trail of blood across Hiei's cheek before being thrown
across the trail, his fur-covered back slamming into the giant wall of ice, causing him to
whimper. i cringed as Hiei sliced through the wolf's body, making sure that he was
positively dead. as i hid beneath a gap in the mountain, i watched the wolves continue to
gang up on Hiei. he sliced through them one by one, but there were still far too many.
blood splattered and stained the virgin snow that belonged to both the evil wolf demons
as well as my half-koorime demon lover. i could tell Hiei was out of breath and he
wouldn't last much longer if he fought the wolves alone, so i found my self contemplating
hiding Kioko and going out to fight my self, but i knew if one of the wolves got past me
it would be all over for her. so i hugged her closer to my chest, practically sufficating
the infint demon. she lowered her ears and growled in the back of her throat, scratching
at my chest with her tiny but sharp nails, practically begging to be released. i pulled
her back slightly so i could look into her bloody eyes. "there. Now are you happy?"
as if responding to my question, she giggled and wiggled her ears happily. i chuckled
quietly before turning back to the fight scene and gasping as yet another wolf took charge
at Hiei and bit into his neck, causing not too severe of an injury, just enough to
make it bleed. Hiei cried out, making the wolf sneer in joy from seeing him in agony.
it took all my will power not to get up and pounce on him, but the small baby in my arms
served as an explanation to exactly why i couldn't do just that. i sighed and closed my eyes
tightly, covering my ears as well in some attempt to block out the offending sounds and
images. but i quickly uncovered them as i heard foot steps coming towards me. i looked
up to see Hiei, looking down at me, covered in blood, causing me to gasp. He shook his
head and knelt next to me. "Don't worry, it's not mine." i sighed in relief and began to
brush some of the dried blood off of his face. Hiei, becoming irritated, swatted my hand
away and brushed the remaining blood from his cheek. "Hn. i can do it my self.". i laughed
and muttered a quick 'ok Hiei' before turning back to Kioko but much to my surprise, she
was gone! and in here place, was a simple note, written in what looked like blood, but
i was sure it wasn't that of my baby's. i read the note aloud as my eyes began to water
with unshed tears. "Follow the path to your destination. there you'll find your child,
but first, you'll have to pay a price." once i had finished, i collapsed on my knees and
began to sob. "What does she mean by that?" Hiei asked in confusion as he placed a hand
on my shoulder. "I-i don't know..." i chocked out between sobs. Hiei pulled me into a tight
embrace, slowly rocking me back and forth. "It's alright. we'll get her back. don't worry."
i slowly nodded, wiped my tears and Hiei and i Continued to head up the mountain, determined
to get our baby back and take care of Kita as well.
