Walking in shadows of what he used to be



Chapter 2- your weird

Kimi could have sworn she saw a three tailed cat firmly attached to her backside, which rested itself just ubove her rearend. Continuously blinking out of shock, she tried to get the illusion to disappear.

But to no avail, the cat just looked up into her multicolored eyes, and smiled. She shuttered slightly trying not to look at it, but couldn't help herself.. The creature gave her the creeps.

She could have sworn this was yet another dream, when the cat had disappeared with a smirk on its face..

When she had seen the cat, she noticed its red eyes and black fur. Its tail's had reddish purple tips.

And its chest was the same as the tips. She corrected her thought, it was some sort of fox.

Blinking her eyes a few more times, she let out a sigh of relief. She was definatly seeing things. Starring down at the wooden floor. The katan's image reflecting in her eyes.

By now, Hiei and Kurama were starring, they hadn't seen what had caused her to get all weird. Exchanging glances they just thought it was because of her medication. It always was. The girl had adhd, atention deficencent, hyperactive disorder. Her riddilen always made her see strange things.

Her mouth opened, and then shut slowly. The blood had disappeared. Looking up, she noticed her father and Kurama starring at her. Swallowing hard, she thought to herself comming to the conclusion that they hadn't seen anything, the fox or the blood.

Nothing was behind her, it was her imaganation she asured herself. She definatly didn't want to go to bed after what she had seen. But eventually she would have to though.

"Kimi?" Hiei questioned crossing his arms. "Daddy,"she smiled softly as she tried to escape the images that flashed in her mind.

An evil grin flashed on her face, he owed her for being gone so long. She thought as her lips curved into a smirk.

She had been waiting a long time for this," You okay?" He simply asked her raising a brow, sensing something.

"I don't like the look on her face Hiei."Kurama chimed in, his brow narrowed as he glared daggers at her.

Releasing his arms from there crossed position he held one out in front of Kurama." Don't, I might as well get this out of the way,"Hiei smirked evily as he crouched down. Readying himself he stared at his daughter. She stood a ways away from him now. Standing behind the katana on the floor, getting ready to run..

They always had a small game of tag when he got home. It wasn't really tag but was a chase they always had, to vent fustration towards each other.

As a normal reflex she quickly grabbed the sword from the bare wooden floor and ran out into the hall. With her ice blue and red eye's open wide. Ready to take on anything in her way.

Hiei and Kurama had let her slip past them. Hiei gave her a head start. As he always did.

Standing there for a breif second Hiei shot after her. In a blink of an eye he was on her heals. As fast as he could he ran after her. She was pretty fast, he pointed out in his mind. Smirking at the thought.

She had made it halfway down the long hallway before he caught up to her. During all this, they knocked over plants, and made the pictures on the wall uneven. She was giggling pretty evilly as she ran down the pinkish red carpet. And then skidding to a hault.

"Whats going on? What do I owe the honnor of this chase?" He simply asked as he stood infront of Kimi. She stared into his eyes but turned her head away in shame. Trying to give him the guilt trip, it usually worked on Kurama, and she knew she was pressing her luck if she was tryin' it on her dad.

"Nothin'," The child muttered. " do I have to go back to bed?" she said simply with a nervous smile, but his emotionless face made her frown. She couldn't tell what was going on in his head. She could never read her dad like she could Kurama. To her he was simple minded.

"Don't go to bed yet, I want to spend some time with you ," Hiei smirked.

It was around midnight when he came home, and was nearing one. But to him it wasn't really late at all. Kurama sent Kimi to bed around eight so she had enough sleep.

She didn't like the look in his eyes when he spoke. Something told her that something wasn't right, he was hiding something. For him, he was acting strange.

For a child, Kimi's age she was pretty smart. Very smart for that matter.

She had long shiny, soft black hair, reaching down to her hips. With a few loose strains in front of her pointed ears. They weren't very pointed like her fathers, she didn't look too much like a demon more human than any.Resembling more her mother than her father.And had one of each their eyes. One ice blue and the other a dark crimson.

Sighing she looked up at her father, with her once warm eyes. That Hiei had noticed turned to ice.

"Your not gonna leave me again are you?" she asked cautiously, dreading her awnser. Bracing herslelf she swallowed hard. " I don't know yet, but I might have to leave again in a few days.." He said to her as he began to feel her guilt trip taking its toll. Her heart nearly broke in too when he uttered those words.

She formed a fake smile, to hide her saddness and shook it off the best she could. Her father, he never was one to get emotional, but kept a straight face. Sometimes he let a little emotion come out but it was as rare as him being nice to Kuwabara. Which Kimi laughed softly at the thought of her dad being nice to the carrot top.

Hiei was a single parent, raising his daughter entirely on his own with some help from Kurama. He did the best he could to keep her from following the same path he had. Which, he quote,'was full of hatred an betrayel, I took the path less travel'.

He had wanted to teach her things, but thought it best not to. She was quite delicet. Though she was as stubborn as an ox. As Karama put it.

His daughter, wasn't a pure fire demon. He wasn't either though. In between both her father and mothers blood, she was a hanyou. Being half Fire/ice youkai, and the other half being whatever her mother had been.Hiei wasn't sure what she was at all.

Hiei kept his daughter sheltered from demons, raising her in the ningen world instead of Makai. Something he thought he never would do. And raising her like Kurama had been raised of all things. Thinking of all this, nearly made him throw up.

The fact that he wasn't going to train her, or anything of the sort made him feel even more shitty. But He knew this was all for the best. He would have to act human until she got older, and mentally hoped that she wouldn't discover any weird powers. Or something stupid like that.

Up to this point, he had her thinking that they were normal humans. And as for him leaving so much, he had her thinking it was a buisness trip deal.

Where he was really going was strict information, other that Koenma, Kurama was well aware of what his friend was up to.

Thinking back, the first mission he had been forced to take was when he met Kimi's mother. A wonderful women he always thought to himself. Meeting her, turned his life upside down. After everything that happened and when the case was closed he stayed with her.

A year after the two had met, maybe a little less, Kimi was conceived.

After Kimi was born she had hung herself, he remembered.Thinking of that also reminded him of the note she had left him, sometimes in his head he could hear his darling mate, 'I bore her, as a symbole of my undieing love for you my dear Hiei. But I had waited too long for deaths extended hand. Taking it, I now apologize to you. please don't be mad...' The words echoed in his mind.

"Hey, daddy where'd you go this time?" Kimi asked snapping Hiei out of his daze as she looked down the hall and at a pissed off Kurama.

" You two have got to do away with that custom." Kurama inturupted fixing pictures as he walked down the hall. And trying to be as plesant as he could. "I wouldn't be surprised if you killed all my plants," He growled under his breath. He loved his plants more than anything. With plants, he was very tempremental.

Kimi stared at him and began to laugh softly,' they're gonna argue' she thought.

"I'm not not going to apologize, she started it!" Hiei made a face and pointed an acusing finger at her. "What!" she cried out, pointing the katan at him. Which Hiei noticed she was holding it in a defensive manner. 'She's good,' he smirked inwardly.

"Don't point that at me! your gonna put an eye out!!"He yelled out as he noticed it was inches from his nose. His voice carrying down the hall in an echo.

Kurama stood near them, tsking as he crossed his arms. "Grow up," he muttered still shaking his head slowly from side to side. "Hiei theres ice cream in the fridge." Kurama said looking at Hiei. Who let out a low growl in responce. Translation,' good I'll have some'.

"I'm gonna go and eat," Kimi growled as she walked a ways down the hall and down the long stairway. She still had the sword in her hand, dragging it on the ground as she passed.

The hallway was quite long, with wall to wall carpeting. On the walls were many pictures that she looked at as she walked down the steps. Kurama's house was very neat and clean, she often noted.

Starring down at the steps, she smiled as she griped the banister for suport. It was nice to have her father home.. she pondered as she let go of the railing and wondered through the living room. Quickly she made her way through and went into the kitchen.

Still up on the second floor, Hiei and Kurama were talking. They looked down below the top floor.There was a small wall so they could see down into the living room.

"How'd your mission go?" Kurama finally said after a long silence. "Well okay, I guess. These demons are getting harder to track." Hiei replied with a sigh as he began brushing dust off his cloak.

"Do you have any idea how long your going to stay here before Koenma sends you out again?" Kurama sighed. " a few days if I'm lucky, but Koenma probally won't give me the time of day." Hiei grumbled, taking a peice of lint off his cloak and fiddling with it.

"Well I'm just going to spend time with Kimi, she's seems upset. Have I missed something?" Hiei asked raising a brow as he flicked away the lint.

"She's been having strange dreams. But everytime she tries to tell me about them she just goes up and forgets the details about them." Karama shrugged. "other than that, she's been a deliquent. !" Karama grumbled quietly so Hiei didn't hear.

"Thats how she is," Hiei sighed heavily. "How's she doing in school?" He asked, afraid of the awnser. "You sure you want to know Hiei. I can lie if you want?" Karama swollowed. " Don't lie, be honest how's she doing. Well I hope." Hiei said offhandedly.

"She's been alright,"Karama smiled trying to sumerize.

"um, I think we should go down stairs. Its a little too quiet.." Kurama stated, almost disturbed by the silence down stairs..

"Fine," Hiei grumbled as they both heard a loud crash comming from the kitchen, following a loud curse.

"KIMI!!!!"Kurama yelled angrily from the top floor. Before Hiei could say anything, Kurama was down stairs and in the kitchen.
