Walking in shadows of what he used to be..
Chapter 11 - Reflection and an old friend..
Hiei fell silent as he watched Kurama lift Jiro over his shoulder. They were going to pay an old friend a visit, he reminded himself just then.. In his mind, he only wanted to avoid the fool.
As they began to walk again towards Kuwabara's he began to think to himself. Why was he the one he decided to blame, he asked himself just then, as he started to remember why he and Kuwabara had avoided each other.
Its sad that a friendship, or something close had to end so suddenly. But it was a rough relationship, Hiei continued to ponder as he put his hands in his cloak pocket.
It wasn't his fault, the thought had come so suddenly, it nearly knocked him over. God, he cursed. Does it ever end? he growled in his head. His face rinkled just then, as he hung his head to the side in discust.
His thoughts were running ramped again. Something he knew that couldn't be helped. His jagen, gave him a more intense look at the past. Forcing memories of good and bad before him.
And as the images past through him, he could only watch as his memory flashed on. From when he met Katana, the day he and Kuwabara fought and then an image from just moments ago..
He oftened told himself that it wasn't his fault, it wasn't he assured himself again. But he couldn't help but feel a little responsible for what had happened all those years ago....but he couldn't help but ask. Was he to blame?
The moment he had said, that he was her brother. She started to act strange. But he thought it was just because she hadn't realized how close he was to her. From the time she didn't know, til the time he finally told her. He was right at her side, not very far from her.
Kuwabara, poor fool was heartbroken when Yukina turned down his purposal. They had dated for a few years, but when he poped the question. He realized, that I had told her my secret. Since that final rejection, he has loathed me.
Before my darling little girl was born, this had all taken place, she had suffered because I wasn't there like I should have. Her mother, commited suicide, she thought I wouldn't care. But now, this is my reflection on all of this. I can't seem to let this all fall away. But in my mind, it seems this is just a fragment of realitly. Just a simple sliver of memory, blown far out of porportion.
Its sad, that I couldn't be there, I tried. Katana...
In his mind, everything was falling from him, his daughter and his life for that matter. But the truth still raged on before him. This was fates cruel irony, but Hiei had felt the calm cool sea before this storm had hit.
"Hiei, you don't look so good," Yusuke said in a concerned tone. Hiei was paler then usual, his eyes, their fire had dimished. It was like nothing could phase him..
"Hn, baka, ningin." was Hiei's reply. It was as cold as it had always been, Yusuke pondered as he walked at Hiei's side. Kurama was leading them to Kuwabara's home.
"You seriously need a phycologist, shrimp." A voice scoffed bitterly from behind them.
" Kuwabara, we were just coming to see you." Yusuke said nervously, seeing the anger in Kazuma's eyes. They must have come at the wrong time.
They were maybe a few streets a way from Kuwabara's. They had all been walking along the sidwalk. Yusuke just guessed that Kuwabara was comming home from the store, just because he was carrying groceries.
"Is that so," He said rudly when he noticed his son was slung over Kurama's shoulder. "Bring my son to my house and leave," he said sternly as he stalked off.
"God, what's crawled up in his ass that died. Ueesh," Yususke muttered as he put his hands in his pockets.
They quickened in pace and reached Kuwabara's within moments.
"We need to talk Kuwabara," Kurama said kindly as he layed Jiro's unconcious form on the couch. " I know why your here, and I'm not going. Not this time, not with that ass over there." Kuwabara said coldly as he looked into Kurama's eyes.
He slowly turned his back on Kurama. "Kazuma, your starting to act like Hiei, your turning into a real jerk," Yusuke chimed in, giving Kurama a wink.
"Just leave, I don't want to see you all here again. My son isn't going either, and neither am I so leave," Kuwabara nearly yelled as he clenched his fists at his side.
" Why are you so angry? I have more than a right to be angry, baka. You are living in the dammed past!! Get a life! My sister may have turned you down but I am not the one to blame! Thanks to all this bulshit my daughter isn't here with me now. Quit being so god damned selfish!!" Hiei finaly snapped, grabbing Kuwabara's shirt colar.
" God, it wasn't my fault my sister left you, it wasn't my fault so kiss my fuckin ass will ya!!" Hiei growled low in Kuwabara's face.
" Whoa, Hiei chill man," Yusuke said nervously. " I am the one to be blamed if the world ends, not if my sister changes her mind," Hiei growled as he let Kuwabara go.
" Shrimp, we all knew your daughter was crazy. I'm glad you finally figured it out." Kuwabara snickered.
" Hiei, don't waste your energy, if this man won't help we will have to seek other sources." Kurama said calmly.
"hn", was Hiei's only reply..

Kimi was walking alone in the forest, her katan firmly glasped in her hand. It was about time she walked out on her father. How many times had he done that to her? to many to count, she said to herself as a low growl escaped her throat.
She had been walking for a few hours, it was now getting dark. The darkness, she smiled in her mind.
I'm not going back, she said aloud to herself as she trudged on through the forest.
"Why are ye here in my forest?" A man about her age said. " I have my reasons," Kimi smirked back as she fell into a fighting stance.
"I am Ember," He said swifly as he landed on one knee in front of her. " Wha-t are you?" she stammered as she watched him rise to his feet. " I am a fox youkai, thank you." He said diffensifly as his tail swayed beside him.
"I would tell you what I am, but I'm not positive." Kimi replied.
"May I ask, what your doing in my domain?" He asked again.
"Thats my business," She said sternly. " You shouldn't be here you know, there are other demons that would love to have you for a snack," He said offhandedly.
"Oh, that's bullshit." She rolled her eyes. " I am faster than they are, and more skilled," she said cockily.
" Hm, by what I can see girl, you are just a renagade with no where to go. No skills, maybe past training, but your still no match for some of the demons in this forest. So I strongly advise you to leave," Ember said narrowing his brow.
" There are demons in this forest, as I said. They are all here for the tournament." He added swiftly as he looked into her eyes.
"I haven't heard of any tournament?"
" I see, its the tournament of the dead. What's your name I failed to ask?"
"Kimi Jaganashi," she replied softly as his face went pale. " Are you okay? Did I say something wrong?" She asked quickly.
"No. Um are you related to a fire demon by the name of Hiei?" He asked
"Hai, he's my father." Kimi replied, wondering why her father was so important to this man.
"Why do you want to know this?" She asked, with mild interest.
" No reason, its just that you look alot like him. Would you be interested in competing in the tournament?" Ember asked, hoping she would say yes.
"Yeah, why not." She smirked.
"But can you tell me about this tournament?" she asked
"It's the tournament of the dead as I said. Both the living and the dead will be competing in this tournament. You see, the dead will be brought back to life just for this tournament. But only the strongest will be brought back." He said slowly, to make sure she understood.
"Thats amazing, I'm definatly in!" She smiled.
" Good, because we needed another member for our team. We lacked a fifth member." He replied.
"if it makes you feel any better, we have two women on our team." He added.
"Thats nice, but I think that all of you people are way older than me." Kimi laughed nervously.
" How old are you anyway?" He asked, raising a brow.
"Sixteen," she said simply as she sheathed her katana.
" That is young," He said in surprise.
" We should go, Kimi. The boat should be leaving tomarow. Follow me," He said quickly.
She nodded and followed him when he walked off.
