***Keiko's Protection***
Keiko sighed as she walked home from school again, glancing out of the corner of her eye to see her "guardian angel" following her again. Yesterday was when she had finally met Yusuke's boss, Koenma, and boy she wasn't in the mood to deal with Yusuke. The meeting was rather tense, with Keiko ignoring everyone, not speaking to anyone, not even cheerful Botan. She was disturbed, over what Kurama had said about her being a demon. She couldn't believe it, wouldn't, but it gnawed at her subconcious. During school she had finally decided to ask her parents, if she was part demon.
She smiled up at the tree that she knew Hiei was in, gave a small wave, and entered her house. Her mother was in the kitchen, cooking, but her father was still at work. Watching her mom for awhile, she gathered her courage before setting her bag on the table. Her mother noticed Keiko's look, knowing that something serious was troubling her mind.
"What's wrong dear?" her mother sat down beside her, worry in her eyes.
"Mom, I was wondering, if I have any demon blood in me." Keiko said, shyly. Her mother blinked, looking confused. Keiko sighed and launched into the explanation about Hiei, Kurama, and Yusuke, and why she went missing for three days. At the end, her mother was frowning thoughtfully. Standing up, her mother left the room and came back, holding a large ancient book, it's cover was completely covered in strange designs.
"I was afraid this might happen." her mother whispered, setting the book down and sitting on the chair. She opened the book, and gently turned the pages. The pages were yellow and brittle, but the words written on each were clear as day. She finally found the page she was looking for, same yellow paper but it was written in dark blue ink with a picture of a dark blue crystal in the shape of a tear on top. "Darling, for generations, our family's been protecting this crystal from demons." her mother started.
"What?" Keiko said softly, staring at the page.
"This is the Midnight Shadows Stone. Our family has been deemed to protect it at any cost, however, when you were concieved, it disappeared from the safe we guarded. Now, I have reason to believe that you hold it in your soul." her mother said tiredly. "Demons want this stone because it will increase their power to that of a god's, which is why King Enma asked us to protect it. The reason, is because our family is a powerful line of spell casters, called mikos, our spiritual energy allows us to cast spells and guard things of great value. We were the most powerful of all, and Enma asked us to do this for him. We agreed, and he helped us even more than he normally would have a mortal. We now age less than a human, but we die before a demon. So far, the oldest one of our line has lived was five hundred years."
"How old are you, mother?" Keiko asked.
"I turned two hundred when I gave birth to you." her mother closed the book, handing it to her daughter. "It's time, your powers have started to show through, you were able to see Hiei's attacks because you could sense them. Speaking of Hiei, why don't you ask him to come in, instead of staying in the tree outside." her mom smiled faintly, as Keiko got up and opened the window. Hiei appeared, sliding through the window easily.
"Hiei, this is my mother." Keiko introduced. He nodded, which her mother responded to easily.
"You've heard all that was said," she started, he nodded slightly, "I ask that you protect my daughter. A demon has been watching her for quite some time. He knows that she possesses the Stone, which is why you were captured. His name is Korituko, he is a powerful demon, not quite S class, but still powerful. I want you to be extremely careful. Take Keiko to Genkai's temple, she will be safe there and Genkai will teach her about her powers. Genkai is an old friend of mine, she will be glad to take in Keiko."
"What about school mother?" Keiko asked.
"I will call them and tell them that something has come up, you will be taught by Genkai everything in school, they know that something will come up and have already gotten school work for you ready to be sent to Genkai's. Don't wory dear, everything is ready. You just need to get to Genkai's safely." her mother smiled and kissed her forehead, then gave Hiei a hug. He tensed up, before relaxing slightly. "Take care," she kissed his forehead, on top of his Jagan, and then left. _____________________________________________________________________
