Chapter Minikia
(Tai's POV First Person)
~*~
"Hakio, Yuru I'm really disappointed in you guys," Minikia spoke softly to the bow dude and sword guy. "Didn't I ask you to eradicate Kai's entire family," her voice turned into that of a small child, "So, why didn't you?" Her lower lip pushed forward a bit.
"Minikia-sama, we thought we had destroyed them. We never knew," Hakio, the sword guy spoke. "We will get rid of Taikana shortly."
Hakio bowed low. "Hakio, I've been listening to rumors in town. They say that the girl…what's her name?" Minikia paused to recollect.
"Taikana, Minikia-sama," Yuru said quickly.
"Yes, Yes, Taikana. I heard that her sister is not dead at all… If this is true, what you have been telling me about killing Kai was lies. And I don't appreciate lies."
Hakio and Yuru cringed and bowed even lower. "We give you our sincerest apologies," Hakio stuttered.
"Do not fail me again. Remember, your live is at stack now."

I sighed. I had had this and similar dreams for two nights in a row now. It was still dark; the sun wouldn't be showing its face for another few hours.
Ever since Hiei kissed, it was hard to travel with the group. I hated the snickers and outbursts of laughs. Of course Hiei ignored it, but I wasn't used to such behavior. Well, I was, but not from people that I was beginning to think of as my friends.
There were dark clouds in the sky, which probably meant rain during the day. The moon wasn't showing and it was just a silent darkness. I hated nights like these. Back then, my brother or Kai would've been there with me. But they weren't here. One was dead for sure and another probably dead. This brought tears to my eyes.
I stifled a laugh. I hadn't cried since my brother's death, and I had vowed that I wouldn't. And here I am, crying for no other reason then a thought, though it was a hurtful one. After a while the silence was deafening and I tried to go back to sleep.

A younger Minikia stood in a clearing with hordes of demons around, all of which were after only the taste of her blood. They had surrounded her and yet she stood there, calmly, waiting for them to make the first and last move.
They did. They all came toward her in one motion, all wanting the glory of killing The Great Demon Lady, as she had come to be known as. Minikia whipped out something from her side. It glowed a light purple and cut through all the demons. She whipped the purple light and eliminated the demons so well that all that was left was a giant pool of blood. No flesh, just blood remained.
Minikia sighed and whispered into the night, "This curse shall never to gone. Am I to live like this forever? Kami-sama, answer me! I must know my fate!"

An even younger Minikia was standing with a male demon. His eyes were gleaming and laughing and his smile was absolutely precious. Minikia laughed with him. Her eyes warm, filled with a simple joy and happiness.
"Do you want some more training Minikia?" the male demon asked.
"We should call it a day, shouldn't we, Nemu-sensei?" Minikia answered quickly. It was clear that she was planning something else. "Let's loot the castle."
Nemuro eyebrows arched in disapproval, "Must we again, Mini-chan?" He held a look of concern on his face.
"Nemu," Minikia pleaded, "Please, you know we both could use the money and food."
"That may be true, but if we are caught, who knows what could happen."
"Nemu, don't worry so much. They wouldn't harm me. I'm way too beautiful," Minikia joked.
Nemuro's eyes once again gleamed, "Of course, my girl is the most beautiful creature in the Makai." This caused Minikia to blush immensely, which then resulted in the deep sound of Nemuru's laughter.

Minikia looked up in terror. An old male demon stared back at her.
"You are mine, koi." He said his voice raspy and mean, "Who better to mate then you, ain't that right koi?"
Minikia was frightened of course, but she could not contain her anger, "Don't you dare call me that. Ever."
"Koi, what's wrong?" he sneered in a very nasal tone. He leaned over to kiss her and pressed her against the wall. Minikia desperately tried to claw her way away from him, but his tough skin didn't even react to her knife-like claws.
After being released from the kiss Minikia was even more steamed up, "GET AWAY FROM ME YOU FUCKING BASTARD!"
~*~
I woke again, another dream about the strange Minikia. It was like I knew her. I wondered how she is connected to me. Why do I continue to have these dreams? Are they just dreams? Maybe they were trying to tell me something. Yet I had no clue. All night this had been going on. Sleeping, then waking up, sleeping, and then waking up again.
The sun was starting to rise in the far horizon. I could feel it, but could not see it. The dark clouds still hung overhead, proclaiming definite rainfall in the day. I sighed. All rain had ever done was get into my boots and it was not at all comfortable; that was the only thing that I hated about those boots, after all they were my first choice in shoes.
Hiei stirred, sat up, looked toward the sky, and turned to look at me. He all of a sudden started to blush. I had no idea what was going on. What did I miss? I didn't think about it too much, mainly because Hiei face turned back into its normal color.
I smiled up at him and he nodded at me. His way of smiling, I guess.

Hmm… I wonder what Hiei was thinking. {[[ looks at everyone with a evil look]]}
Dedicated to THE GUY WHO PLAYS HIEI IN JAPANESE because I love the way that guy sings. (If you ever get the chance listen to the songs, DARK SIDE STORIES and EYE TO EYE.
Hmm… I also wonder who Minikia is. Isn't she mysterious? Wonder what happens next…
{[[ audience looks at me expectantly ]]} WHAT?!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN!!!
