Neko Yasha: hey, sorry it took me so long to update! i was gone for the weekend and i had a
doctor's appointment. so today, at 9:15 pm, i'm officially 5 months pregnant with a baby
girl! ^_^. and as far as we can tell, she's healthy. we're not sure on names yet.
we're thinking about Evalyn Grace lightner. but like i said, we're not sure.
if you have any ideas, feel free to speak up! so, any way, here's chapter 19.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Kurama's P.O.V)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i felt tears burn the back of my eye sockets as they threatened to spill down my cheeks,
flowing freely much like the water fall i felt churning in my stomach as i watched
Hiei run up the mountain, fiery anger burning in his dark crimson eyes. i still
wasn't quite sure what happened. one minute i was holding Kioko in my arms,
laughing happily upon her father's safe return, and the next minute she was gone! my
beating heart was heavy with guilt as i blamed my self completely for her mysterious
disappearence. after all, i was the one who had set her in the snow while i turned to talk
to Hiei. i was the one who didn't notice when the wolf snatched her away. i didn't hear
her soft cries for help. it was my fault my daughter was out there, with those terrible
demons. it was all my fault. the tears now flowed freely down my puffy red cheeks,
quickly hardening into tiny ice dropplets due to the freezing weather. we had been running
for hours now, and we had just come within view of the peak where Kita was supposedly hiding
and i had to shield my emerald green eyes as the sun glared off the bright fresh snow.
as we grew closer and closer to the cave, i imagined all the rather morbid things i was
going to do when i finally found her. as i couldn't make up my mind which disgusting
gruesome methods of torture i was going to use, i knew one thing. she would not live
to tell about it. finally we reached the top and i found my self standing out side the
cavern, nearly shaking with fear as i realized that in my blinded rage, i had forgotten
just how powerful she supposedly was. but at the moment, as i pictured my daughter
shaking within her grasp. i also noticed Hiei had wasted no time in hiking up the mountain
waiting for me to follow. i did just that once i had regained my cool calm composer,
wiping the crystal tears from my eyes. it didn't take me long to reach the cave,
and as we entered, i was frozen in shock. there was Kita, her back turned to us, cradling
the cooeing kitsune in her arms as if nothing had happened. i felt both anger and envy
as i watched her bounce the giggling baby in her arms, and i began to wonder if it was
better off for her to keep Kioko. the thought left me as quick as it had came as i saw
Hiei lunge at her, tackling her to the ground, her body making a shield as not to hurt the
baby. "What the fuck were you thinking; kid napping my baby?!" he demanded through
gritted teeth, throwing random punches on her body. "Answer me wench!" Kita closed
her eyes tightly and hugged the baby to her chest. "Get off of me and maybe i'll tell!"
she said, equel anger evident in her voice. Hiei hesitently did as he was told,
leaping off of the larger woman, her raven black hair lying in a tangled mess
from Hiei's attacks. "Now, so long as you promise not to attack me again, i'll tell
you the reason for my actions." Hiei and i both reluctantly nodded, stepping back a bit
to insure her safety. she took a deep breath and began to speak. "Once you killed Gama,
i was heart broken. You see, Gama and i were destined to be together. i depised the idea
at first, but i grew to love him over the years. before the tournament, Gama explained
to me that he was part of a fighting team called Masho (A/N: ha! i remembered this time!)
and was taking part in a great tournament for rights to an island. he promised that
if he won, we would live together on the island, and take the ultimate step in a
relationship. a child. but once i saw him fall to the ground after you had killed him,
all my hopes and dreams were crushed. but then i got an idea. i would use a spell i had
learned some time back, to Grant Gama his wish. all i needed was some one to get it for
me, since i couldn't cast it on my self. and you seemed like the perfect target.
but once you had the baby, i realized something. this baby is powerful. so powerful
that she'd have enough life energy for her self and Gama, so i could bring him back!
so i kidnapped her. i conned you into coming here. andnow, say good bye to your precious
Kioko! she's mine now!" my eyes widened in horror as her sinister laughter echoed
about the large cave. she was going to keep Kioko? i glared. not if i had any thing
to do with it. quickly i reached into my hair and pulled out a single rose,
but her voice stopped me before she could answer. "Wait wait wait! if you really want
your baby badck, i'm sure we can compromise....." Hope was obvious in my shining
eyes as i quickly dropped the rose. "We'll do any thing! just please, let her go!"
Hiei nodded in agreement. Kita looked as if she was in deep thought as she contimplated
the possibilities of the situation. "Perhaps.." we both looked impossibly hopeful as
we awaited her answer. "If one of you were to sacrifice your life energy to bring back
Gama, i'll give you Kioko, no questions asked." we both fell silent. Kita shrugged and
proceeded with the ritual. "Great forces, i offer you this sacrifice of life energy to
bring back- "Wait!" she stopped and glanced back at us. "I'll do it." i looked at Hiei,
shock written all over his face. "Hiei...what?" "I'll do it. i'll give my life to Gama,
in order to save my daughter."

Neko Yasha: so there you are! chapter 19! unfortunately, the next chapter's the last.
:( i don't know, i might add another mini-chapter after that. i'm not sure.
Hiei: so, any way. i'm sure you know by now how we feel about flames.
