Yu Yu Hakusho: Wind and Water
Chapter nine: Kit's past
Rating: R for intimate scenes later on, and for cursing and violence, and sometimes I can be a bit too detailed in my descriptions.
Warnings: Kuwabara bashing of sorts. Original characters. Hiei x OC romance, Major changes, adding of mage/magic element into story.
Couplings: Hiei x Kit (OC), Yuusuke x Keiko, Kurama x OC (later on), Kuwabara x Yukina
Another warning a.k.a the note to flamers: I might use words and quotes from both Japanese and English forms of the series: it all depends on what I have and what I like, So no one flame on that, and also I change a lot. That's what a rewrite is. So if I don't stay prefect and I change a lot don't flame me, all flame will be fed to my cats.
Disclaimers: YYH belongs to Yoshihiro Togashi and other people (I think). I'm not doing this for profit, merely my own enjoyment, I don't own them nor do I claim to. So you will get nothing from so don't sue me.
One more thing: Ask my permission before using Kit, or any other characters.
One last thing:
* - Things that will be explained at the end.
{ } - Telepathic conversation
Italics - are flashbacks and dreams.
Special Thanks as always to Kat Reverie and Ocaria Iel
" . . Kassan . . . Bassan . . . YUU-KUN." A little girl yelled crying as she ran almost terrified through a dark forest. She was no older then five and extremely small for her age. She had shoulder length messy dark red hair; it was clear there was blood in her hair to. She had large kitty ears that were folded back against her head, in fear, she had a tail, and there were extreme bruises and cuts all over her small body. Her once pretty green dress was soaked in blood from injuries. Her eyes held terror and sorrow. She heard voices coming closer. She whimpered and ran as fast as she could.
" Lets just see what happens if we kill her again." One voice said.
" Yes she might come right back again and we could continue our experiments with a healthy toy." She shuddered at the word toy as she heard another voice.
" We can make it even more scaring and terrible this time." the scariest of the voices said. The cat girl's eyes widened as she heard an evil spell being chanted. She could feel something above her, She looked up and screamed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kit screamed as she woke up, tears streaming down cheeks at the memory. She cover3ed her mouth, sweat dripped down her entire body, her forehead and bangs were completely soaked. She tried to slow down her erratic breathing. Yuusuke came tearing into the room.
" Kit what's wrong?" He said worriedly she looked up at him, and he knew immediately. He gently sat by her on the couch and hugged her gently. She whimpered burying her head in her cousin shoulder, trying to hold back tears.
" It's okay Koneko-chan its okay." Yuusuke whispered gently, his voice holding a rare sweet tone.
" You dreamed about your . . . death again didn't you." he asked gently stroking her hair. Kit could only nod. He continued stroking her hair for several minutes until she had calmed down more.
" I'm okay Yuu-kun." She said pulling back from their hug, wiping tears from her eyes.
" You sure, ma'll call you in sick today I know she will for you, if you want to stay home." he said looking at her worriedly. Kit shook her head and wiped her eyes. She couldn't be alone all day, not with a dream like that, the person she wanted to see most right other then Yuusuke was Hiei. Somehow just seeing him made her feel better, no matter how depressed she was.
" No I'd rather go to school Yuu-kun but thank you." She said and kissed him gently on the cheek, and grabbed her uniform and ran off into the bathroom. Yuusuke watched her worriedly.
She came out minutes later, her uniform on, she was wearing a midnight green legging's instead of her usual black one and her hair was up in its braid and she had her necklace around her neck. She stooped to put on her boots and grab her bag.
" Come on lets go." Yuusuke said holding his own bag. Kit stared him for a brief second and then gave him a thankful glance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Kit meet me here after school." Yuusuke said they stood outside Kit's school.
" HEY. Kit, Yuusuke." A loud voice said above them. Miku was once again sitting on the wall. Kit looked up her and smiled half-heartedly.
" Not going to class again Miku-chan?" Kit asked. The six year old gave a v-sign and nodded.
" Well I should get going to class" Kit said running off with her head down.
" Is she okay?" Miku asked Yuusuke.
" Yeah She'll be fine Kid." He said putting up his shield immediately and running off to his own school/ Miku stuck her tongue out as he ran.
" Great damn lot of help you are." She said angrily.
~~~~~~~~~
Kit collapsed into her desk and buried her head into her arms. She felt tears starting to trickle down her cheeks again. She whimpered. She hoped Miku didn't blame that on herself, it wasn't the young girls fault in anyway. She was just. . She felt a hand on her head; She looked up into Hiei's worried crimson eyes.
" Are you okay Kitten?" He asked gently noticing her tears. She somehow managed to nod. She noticed Tadasuke giving her a disbelieving look.
" Honest I'm okay." She said weakly. Hiei clearly didn't believe her. Tadasuke didn't either but he knew she would talk so he merely turned around in his seat as class began. Kit watched outside trying to distract her thoughts so she wouldn't remember anymore of her past. It was not however working.
A beautiful young woman of about 21 looked out at the stormy skies smiling. She had long silky black hair, pulled up in a ponytail, and dark brown eyes almost exactly like Yuusuke's. She wore a midnight red kimono, and in one hand was her katana, and the other hand she held her small daughters hand. The woman wasn't that tall she was of average height about 5'5. The young cat girl known as Koneko looked up her mother with happiness in her eyes, she was only about four, yet her speech was extremely well for her age.
" Kassan are Bassan and Yuu-kun coming soon?" The girl asked happiness clear in her voice. The woman smiled lovingly down at her daughter. Koneko was wearing a midnight green kimono and was carrying a stuffed cat toy. Her large ears couldn't yet stay up there own so they flopped over a bit. Her tail wasn't that long yet, it wasn't really a proper cat tail yet, it was quite obvious a tail, but what kind of tail could not be told by her the fuzziness of her tail.
" Yes they are they will be here tomorrow morning little Koneko." The girl's mother said and bent to pick her child up. The girl squirmed slightly as a kitten might when being picked up, but after a few seconds she settled down and let her mother hold her. Then woman smiled softly again.
" Kassan are we going home now?" Koneko asked now playing with her tail, to amuse herself. The woman known as Sakura nodded. " WEEEEEEEEEEE." Koneko said throwing her arms up happily. Sakura merely chuckled at her daughter's antics.
" Hey when Yuu-kun comes can I scare him by being crazy again?" She asked a wild grin on her small face. Sakura laughed and nodded. Koneko looked dup as she saw a small house, but there was something wrong it did feel right. Something was really bad there.
" Kassan. . . Something isn't it right." Koneko said whimpering and pressing herself against her mother's body. Sakura frowned and focused her eyes. She dropped to the ground seconds later.
" Koneko I want you to listen to me carefully." Sakura said. She lifted a necklace off her neck; it was a dragon claw over a green orb. She slipped it around the young girls neck. " I want you to take this and go, go hide, I if don't come and get you, go to Murasaki's place, she'll know what happened. She'll take you to Atsuko-neesan. " She said and gently hugged her. Kit blinked completely confused and scared.
" Kassan . . What's going on?" She asked softly.
" You will know in time . . . I want to tell you that your fath . . " She trailed off as a tall man appeared behind them. The man was about 6 feet with long white hair and almost white eyes. Sakura glared at him and pushed Koneko forward. Koneko began to run, she however tripped and fell over her feet, her ears almost falling in her face, she looked up, and her mother had drawn her sword.
" You fool, a sword will do nothing against me." The man said. Koneko shuddered in fear there was something absolutely terrifying about this man.
" Myrth, you call me a fool, but I fight for those I c are about you fight for your own increase in power and your greed you will not win." Sakura said.
" You think I care." the man said coldly holding out a dead white gem. Koneko only had time to watch as her mother's eyes widened then something shot out of the gem blasting her mother into pieces. Koneko just stared in shock, for a few seconds and then tears began pouring out of her eyes. Myrth then turned his cold dead gaze to her. Koneko's eyes widened again, she tried to get up and run but found herself unable to, something was pulling her. The man picked her up roughly around the waist.
" LET ME GO." She screamed loudly, tears now pouring down her face. The man glared and drew and dagger and plunged it into her stomach, blood poured out, and the small girl still crying fell into unconsciousness, tears shining on the green orb of her mothers necklace.
Kit's eyes widened as tears were now pouring down her face in class as she looked out the window. It was starting to pour outside almost as hard as the tears running down her cheeks. She suddenly felt strong hands grip her shoulders. She looked up tearfully into Hiei's now deeply concerned face. Miku was there as well and Tadasuke both looking extremely concerned.
" Miku-chan. . . What?" was all she managed to get out.
" My teacher just suddenly passed out, as did everyone else in the class." The small girl explained.
" So did out teacher, and everyone else in our class but us. The gates are completely unopenable they are brimming with power, it would probably kill us to try and touch it at some point, Kit tried to nod, but found she didn't have the strength to. Hiei pulled her to her feet, and almost dragged her out of the room.
" I hope he doesn't hurt her." Miku said.
" He won't he loves her too much, he's just worried about her current state of mind." Tadasuke said pulling out his gun and loading it with several different colored bullets. Miku smiled.
" That is a nice gun." She said looking at with a look of appreciation in her eyes.
" Yes I quite agree." Tadasuke said looking like he was about to hug the medium sized magic handgun.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Hiei dragged her down the hall and then stopped, Kit yelped her wrist hurting quite a bit from where he was dragging her. He then cursed violently, he noticed a closet and pushed her into one and followed in himself and closed the door. A few minutes later they both heard the oh awful sound of the door locking. Hiei sighed and sat down, pulling her with him.
" DO you want to tell me what is wrong with you today?" he said half pulling her into his lap. Kit whimpered but nodded.
" It'll be hard it . . . ." She trailed off.
" You know you can trust me Kitten." He said softly gently wiping away some of her tears. She nodded.
" I know, I've know that for a bit now. This would be hard to say to anyone, I just . . . Give me time to say this." She said weakly. Hiei nodded in understanding.
" You know me and Yuusuke are related right?"
Hiei nodded again/
" Well my mother and his mother were sisters, my mother older by one year. She had me when She was 16. I have no idea who my father is; just that he is a neko youkai. My mother. . . . She tried to tell me. . . . Before . . " Kit trailed off again.
You will know in time . . . I want to tell you that your fath . .
Kit shuddered as she remembered some of her mother's last words to her. Hiei gently squeezed her shoulders.
" Before she died, she was killed by a necromancer named Myrth when I was four, my necklace it was hers, she . . . Gave it to me right before she died."
"I want you to take this and go
" Myrth he . . . " Kit trailed off her tears coming down harder now. " He blasted her to bits, there was . . . . Nothing left of her at all, only a bit of her magic residue . . . ." She then started to choke on her words. Hiei pulled her fully into his lap,
" Then he grabbed me and stabbed me in the stomach, for another 7 months he tortured me and used for his . . . Necromancy. . . .experiments . . . In the end it killed me." She coughed , it becoming hard to breathe. Hiei lightly began to massage her throat .
" As I am half neko youkai I have a multiple of 4-5 lives if I'm killed by something that is not my natural death. I came back, and my soul because my body was not in a safe place I was revived full health in . . myrth's clutches. . . . A month later he killed me with his intensified experiments again, this time though I was in a forest I had managed to get away. Botan found my body. I met her, Koenma, and Ogre in the reikai. They saved my life." She said softly.
" When I awoke I was in hospital with Yuusuke and Bassan by my side. I was almost six then I then spent the rest of my life with Yuusuke." Kit said finally finishing. " And Two months later I met my teacher Arashi, I go to train six months out of the twelve, She is the one who protects me from the necromancers, and teaches me to defend myself against them. Except I still freeze when I just feel their power near me." She whispered, barely able to stop herself from full out crying, Hiei flipped her around firmly and wrapped his arms around her in a protective hug. He gently stroked her hair much like Yuusuke had down earlier.
" It's okay Kitten, just cry it out." He muttered protectively. Kit pressed her face against his shirt and gently grasped his shirt and began to cry her heart out, and he let her, she cried for almost an hour straight. She slowly pushed away from him wiping the last tears from her eyes. Her eyes widened as she realized what she done to his shirt.
" Ano. . . Gomen . . Your shirt." She whispered.
" I could care less about my shirt he said calmly.
" Hiei-san?"
" hm."
" Arigato" She said looking up at him gratefully. He smiled softly and gently tipped her chin up and moved his face close to hers, he was clearly trying to kiss her again. Kit closed her eyes. And Once again just as he was about to kiss her ,the door was nearly torn off its hinges. Kit yelped and the two separated in surprise more then anything else. In the entrance. stood Miku and Tadasuke. Hiei honestly looked like at that moment he could rip both of their heads off. Kit blushed bright red, but still felt better after crying everything out.
" We found out what's going on." Tadasuke said oblivious to what he had just interrupted.
" Really what is it Tadasuke?" Kit asked gently patting Hiei on the arm.
" A Youkai put a giant spell on the entire school, because someone paid him too, the youkai said he had to kidnap you, and kill everyone else, we already killed the little asshole." Tadasuke said sounding slightly angry, as he fingered his gun again. He was clearly still pissed. T
"The spell is in the form of a giant jewel on the gate." Miku explained. " it appeared after we killed the demon, one of your spells should be able to knock it out Kit-chan." She added. Kit nodded.
" Um do you want to let us out of the closet." Kit asked. Both Miku and Tadasuke realized what she meant and jumped out of the way so they could get out.
" I'll meet you guys there." Kit said summoning her glaive and flying off and out of the school. Hiei frowned and took off at high speed after her. Tadasuke and Miku looked at each other.
" You know at our top speed, we still wouldn't be able to catch up to those two." Miku said sweat dropping.
" Oh yeah." Tadasuke said nodding.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kit landed in front of the school gate, easily, she was about to un summon her glaive when she noticed a man standing in front of the jewel. And that man was Myrth. Kit froze completely and dropped her glaive.
" I take it by that response you remember me little one." Myrth said mockingly. Kit whimpered, and tried to move but found that she couldn't
" What do you want necromancer?" She snarled though she knew she was shaking in fear.
" To take you back my little one."
" I AM NOT YOUR LITTLE ONE NOR HAVE EVER BEEN OR EVER WILL." Kit yelled not even more scared then before, but her will firm.
" And . . .first thing I will do is break that annoying will of yours." He said coldly.
" You will do no such thing." She said her voice still firm.
" Why stay here, no one cares for you?" Myrth asked trying to persuade her getting slightly closer.
" YOU LIE." she yelled. Yuusuke and Bassan cared, she wasn't sure how Hiei felt but he would never have been that caring and gentle if he didn't care at least a little about her, and Tadasuke had said he really wanted to be her friend, and she was pretty sure Kurama and Miku cared about her.
" Oh do I, are you sure your not just making up false emotions . . ." Myrth barely managed to dodge Hiei's fast attack. Hiei glared at him with a look of pure cold murder in his eye. Hiei charged at Myrth again, the necromancer was clearly not expecting such speed, Hiei slashed quickly at the man's throat. Kit watched as blood came rushing out. Myrth snarled at him or tried to, he used a spell to teleport away.
Kit felt her legs start working and fell over, Hiei once again managed to catch her but barely.
" Gomen, I was just frozen . . .with . . Fea . . " She started but Hiei hushed her with a look, he suddenly looked around almost cautiously, then he knelt down his face come close to hers again.. . . . His lips almost touched hers when the gate was literally blasted apart and came tumbling down in pieces. Kit and Hiei both looked up to see Kuwabara and Yuusuke standing there.
" KIT ARE YOU OKAY, KOENMA SAID YOU WERE IN DANGER!!!!!!!!?????" Yuusuke yelled and then noticed Hiei. Kit looked up at Hiei, at that moment he strongly remind her of herself when someone body annoyed her so much that she began banging her head on the hardest object she could find.
" HIEI WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH KIT?" Yuusuke yelled angrily. Kit groaned and began searching for something to hit her head on.
