Kaida Okami - The Beginning
Chapter Fourteen
Goodbye

Kaida climbed the stairs, mind still on her dream. She opened the door that leaded on to

the roof and stepped out into the early morning air. She was mildly surprised to see Hiei

sitting on the ledge watching the sunrise. He turned and regarded her for a moment, then

turned back around. Kaida walked up and sat next to him, neither really minding the

others presence. It was quite and fresh out side and Kaida felt for the first time in a while,

that she could really breath. She couldn't quite shake the feeling that something was

wrong though, and Hiei sensed her unease.

"What's the matter with you?" he asked irritably.

Kaida frowned.

"I don't know." She admitted. "Its just..I feel like something is wrong." She

continued to study the horizon. Suddenly something caught her attention. A small army

of officials, guards and spirit cops where marching up the long dirt road that lead to their

hotel. Kaida paled.

Oh no. she thought. Oh no, oh no, oh no.

Her eyes glowed for a moment as she silently invaded one guards mind to find what she

needed. Her eyes widened.

"Father." She whispered, barely audible.

"What?" said Hiei sharply.

"Its father." She said, louder this time. "He's been murdered. They think it was

me." She turned to Hiei, who was adding up the situation quickly. Finally, it clicked.

"They'll blame us all." He said.

Kaida sprung into action.

"Hiei, Get the everyone woken up. Make sure they only take what is absolutely

necessary. You guys have to hide. I'll delay them as long as I can. GO!"

With that, She sprung from the roof to a near by tree, then to the ground, using the woods

to sneak closer to the guards. Hiei watched her go for a moment, then turned to run back

into the hotel.

~*~ With Kaida ~*~

Kaida changed to her demon form as she ran, hoping that Hiei would be able to

get the others out. She didn't know who had done this, but rest assured, they would pay.

She had no attachment nor remorse for her fathers death, but whoever had done it had put

the people who had been so kind to her in danger. They would pay.

Kaida stepped out of the woods, directly into the path of the guards. They halted

and on stepped forward.

"Are you the one they call Kaida Toorima Okami, The Phantom Thief?" he

announced/asked in a loud voice.

"I am." Said Kaida, proudly and clearly.

"Then you are hereby under arrest." Said the guard.

"On what charges." Said Kaida, calm despite the circumstances.

"For the murder of your father and the tournament comity leader, Ryu Okami The

First." He answered.

"And what evidence is there?" she demanded.

The man did not answer but instead, pulled out one of her daggers, with her name

engraved in the hilt. Kaida's eyes narrowed as she looked at the dagger, recognizing it as

her own. The man move closer to cuff her.

Wait for it, wait for it. She told herself. NOW!

She reached forward and flipped him onto his back, stealing the dagger and tossing it into

the woods, wanting nothing more to do with it. More guards moved forward and she ran,

leading them away from the hotel, and the people inside.

~*~ With Hiei ~*~

"GET UP NOW!!" roared Hiei, bursting into the hotel room. Kurama, Yusuke,

and Kuwabara sat bolt upright in their beds, eyes wild.

"What's the matter? What's wrong?" demanded Kurama.

"Get the girls, we're getting out of here, now." Said Hiei curtly, telling them all

that had happened as they struggled to get dressed into cloths fit for traveling. When

everyone was ready Hiei led them out of the Hotel going a back way into the woods.

They walked deep into the woods till they where sure they wouldn't be found. Hiei sat a

small ways away from the rest and undid his head band revealing his glowing Jagan. He

closed his other two eyes and concentrated on finding Kaida. She would want to know

where they where. Only then could they think of some way to get off the island. They

weren't about to leave her behind.

~*~ With Kaida ~*~

Kaida ran in the woods, having successful led the guards away from the main

road, they where completely lost and it would take them hours to find their way back to

the road, let alone the hotel. She just hoped the others had made it out ok. When she had

found a safe spot to do so, she sat down and tried to locate the others with her physic

abilities. Hiei and Kaida found each other at almost the exact same time.

'Your ok!' said Kaida speaking mind to mind.

'of course we're ok.' said Hiei, sounding irritated. 'Now get your but over here

so we can get off this bloody island.'

'We cant.' said Kaida. 'If I leave now, they'll just keep chasing after me. They

might find you to. You have to go to Koenma. He'll find some sort of cover for you until

this all blows off.'

'I am not leaving you behind.' he told her forcefully.

'Too bad.' said Kaida. 'If I leave, they'll follow. Im not leading them straight to

you and the others'

Suddenly, Kaida heard sensed something in the distance, moving towards her. She froze.

'Good bye, Hiei' she said sadly.

'Don't you dar-' started Hiei.

Kaida cut off the connection before Hiei could finish and she prepared for what ever it

was that was coming closer to her.

~*~ With Hiei ~*~

Hiei swore violently in several different languages when she cut off the

connection. When he ran out of curses he started from the top all over again. He stood up,

having a lock on her spirit energy and now knowing her location and took off with a brief

'Stay here' to the rest of the gang. He ran towards her spirit energy, using his Jagan to see

what was going on. He could sense someone about to reach her and ran faster. I wont

make it in time. He thought furiously, as a demon stepped out of the bushes towards

Kaida.

a/n: yay, an evil cliffy..kinda. Oh well. Review, blah blah blah. I will be starting on the prequel soon, considering this one will be over in another chapter or two. Oh yeah, I had to re-post this chappy cause the computer messed it up. I put in these things: and it made it so you couldn't see the text when Kaida and Hiei where having their little mental conversation. Sry bout that.
