Chapter 6: Father Dearest?

LAST TIME:

Their lips met in a heated, passionate kiss where they let out all of their feelings for one another. Kagome sighed happily as Hiei slipped his tongue into her mouth, tasting every part of her he could. He let go of her wrists and she slid her arms around his neck, bringing them closer together. With his free hand, he roamed her body, smirking inwardly as she moaned in pleasure.

They pulled away for air with flushed faces and Hiei got off of her, helping her up. "Kagome I--" Hiei started, but was cut off by a huge explosion. The walls of the living room caved in and Hiei picked Kagome up bridal style, leaping out of the way just in time. Kagome sighed in relief and watched as a demon showed itself once the smoke cleared away.

Hiei and Kagome both gasped at the sight. There was no demon at all! Kagome giggled slightly and sighed in relief. There was absolutely nothing to be afraid of. 'We'll be fine!' she thought cheerfully. 'It's only two little white birds!'

THIS TIME:

"Those birds!" Hiei exclaimed, his hands curling into fierce fists. Kagome looked at him strangely and then back to the ethereal birds. "So…what about them?" she questioned, unable to understand what Hiei was so angry about. Hiei just looked down, incapable of telling her about his little meeting with her evil father.

"It's no--" Hiei was cut off by a roar of wicked laughter. Kagome jumped slightly and looked back over to the birds. "They're gone!!!!" she exclaimed, looking around for them frantically. Hiei glared at what seemed to be nothing until a demon suddenly appeared.

"So…Hiei, you remember me, right?" he asked, smirking when the said fire/ice apparition growled low in his throat. "Well, that's nice to know…" he continued with a shrug, taking a small step closer to the two.

Kagome gulped and took a step backwards whilst Hiei took a defensive position in front of her. "Who is this guy, Hiei?" Kagome asked, looking over at him in confusion. The evil demon laughed and looked over at her with a heated glare. "So…you don't remember me, Kagome? I'm hurt…I thought you would recognize your own father! Not to mention the one you killed…"

Kagome gasped and stared at him with wide eyes. "Y-you're my father?!" she shrieked, tears forming in her eyes. "But…I killed you?!???! You look evil!!!! This can't be!!!"

Hiei grimaced as salty water ran down her pink cheeks, hating to see his beloved cry. "Kagome…" he murmured, moving ever so closer to her. She looked over at him and shot him a betrayed look. "You didn't even tell me, Hiei! I trusted you and you didn't even tell me he was my father!" Hiei felt completely ashamed of himself and looked down.

More tears trailed her cheeks as her father took another step towards them. She crumpled to the ground and began to sob hysterically, her shoulders shaking with every intake of breath. Suddenly, she stiffed and the sobs that racked her fragile body ceased.

She looked up at them and unexpectedly grinned, her eyes taking a red hue to them. "I remember…" she whispered, her voice sounding slightly…malicious. "I remember killing you!" She stood up and her grin morphed into a full-blown smirk.

A black and red light surrounded her and she closed her eyes, seemingly transforming, as Hiei thought. "She isn't transforming…" Kagome's father muttered, his eyes widening slightly. "At least, not as you think. Kagome is changing into her true self. She's changing into the devil that rests inside of her. Hiei stared at Kagome, his mouth hanging open slightly in awe.

The light surrounding Kagome deceased and her form was visible once again. Her hair was midnight black with vivid red streaks, cascading to the ground like ebony silk. It fell in soft waves, looking like waterfall of shining tresses. When her eyes opened, they had a femininely slitted look and glowed a marvelous blood red. Her skin was fair and a glowing paleness that Hiei had never seen before.

Her outfit was of a fancy black kimono with many layers that hugged her body, each made of midnight colored silk. Red Sakura blossoms that looked as if they were soaked in blood were scattered everywhere as well as on the ebony obi. The sleeves elegantly fell to the floor as well as the regal kimono itself. Black angelic looking wings protruded out of her back, the delicate feathers looking like ebony silk, each intricately surrounded by red lining.

When she grinned, a dainty white fang poked out of the side of her mouth, shining in unknown viciousness. Her eyes blinked once and as they closed, black eyeliner and vibrant red eye shadow was noticeable, obviously her natural demon markings. She took a step forward, her black silk slippers with red ribbon visible from beneath the long kimono.

Hiei had a foreboding feeling from the evil energy surrounding the girl he loved in front of him. He took a hesitant step back and glared at her father who was now shaking in soft chuckles. "You…" he muttered, glaring heatedly at the amused demon. "What did you do to her?!"

Kagome's father shrugged, seemingly straining to make himself look innocent. "I didn't do anything. This is her other true form, her evil half. There is a demonic and an angelic side of my daughter. Both of which she truly is." Hiei growled soundlessly and turned to face the perfect picture of dangerous beauty in front of him.

Kagome sent him a small smirk and took another dainty step forward apparently enjoying herself. "What's the matter?" she asked as she saw Hiei take another step back. "Are you…frightened???"

Hiei glared at her half-heartedly, not knowing if he would be able to fight her or not. 'This is bad…' he thought, cringing as she took yet another step towards him.

Kagome tilted her head to the side, looking innocent for the time being. The look faded as she smirked yet again and put a refined hand into the air, her claws gleaming in the sunlight. Her wings flapped gracefully and she rose into the sky, black feathers descending around the 'battle field.' A black orb of energy formed in thin air, red wisps of power swirling around in it.

Hiei's eyes widened as it began to grow…and grow…and grow some more! Soon enough, it became the size of the now destroyed house, and finally stopped at that. "I would make it larger…" Kagome murmured, her dangerously sweet voice filling the air. "But…I do wanna survive this, after all!" She giggled and let the orb go, allowing it on its course to crash into the earth and Hiei below.

The orb of dark energy reflected in Hiei's wide eyes as it got closer and closer. 'I don't wanna do thins…' he thought, closing his eyes and extending his arms in front of him. 'But I have to live so that I can save Kagome!'
