Walking in shadows of what he used to be..
Chapter 13 Amongst the living, I tread, barefoot..
Kurama walked alongside his friends, letting his eyes expand around the walls of the lobby,as well as everything else that was within eye range. The lobby was huge, he noted mentally as he continued to look around. The corners were lined in gold as well as the borders that separated the wall and the red rug.
As the small group kept walking, Hiei kept to himself, as he tried to locate Kimi. He had been trying since they left the boat but he still couldn't get a lock on her. She was very good at cloaking herself. He was about to give up, when he finally located her in the hotel. She had fallen asleep, which meant her barrier was down. Kimi was on the third floor, in room 316, that was oddly enough next to their room, he thought to himself as he continued on forward. Although, his pace slowed, letting him fall behind his friends.
They all hadn't even realized that he had fallen astray. For they were all to busy, preoccupied with their minds as well as their obvious exhaustion.
Standing there, in the center of the lobby, Hiei just stared off with his eyes, not looking at anything in peticular. Something was a miss, he thought to himself. He could feel that someone he knew was close. And from what he could tell, it wasn't any of his friends. It was Katana, but she was dead. She had been gone along time. But again, this was the tournament of the dead, and she was a fighter, of course.
"Katana," He whispered, as an echo of footsteps reached his ears. Slowly he turned around, only to find himself face to face with her.
"Hiei," She smiled as she let her arms fall from there crossed position. " Its been so long since I've seen you," She whispered breathlessly as she raised her a clawed hand to his face. Hiei raised his left hand, overlapping hers, as she felt his face with the back of her hand. Closing his eyes, he embrace her warm hand as it gently caressed the side of his face. His body began to melt beneath her warm touch but he didn't let it get to him to much. Though her hands were always his what got to him the most.
"I've missed you, Katana." He said softly, as he opened his eyes. "I've missed you too," She whispered into his ear.
They both were lost in the moment, both not carrying that they were standing in a hotel lobby. It had been so long since they had seen each other, as well as shared a moment alone.
"Hiei, where's my daughter, I want to see her, where is she?" Katana managed to say after a moment of silence. Hiei scowled deeply at her statement, but knew he would have to fill her in on what had been going on, since she had been gone.
" She's here, but she won't talk to me. With her anger, I might not be able to talk some sense into her. But luckily she's among an old friend of Kurama's". Hiei said, raising his head to her.
"We will visit them later, but for now. I think we should talk, as well as spend some time together." Hiei said quietly.
"Sure, I have no where to be, because I was told, that I would be the alternate on your team." She smirked mischievously as she punched his arm lightly.
"Lets go, people are starring." Hiei lied. The lobby was abandoned for the night, but he knew Katana would get the hint.

Later...
"Katana, there's a lot I have to say. But I will fill you in on what has been going on these past fifteen years."
"Thanks Hiei, I appreciate it." Katana nodded for her husband to continue.
"First of all, as you already know. Apparently, I screwed up royally as a father." Hiei swallowed back a growl.
" I've been fighting demons these past few years and during that time I had left her solely in Kurama's care. But I shouldn't have left her with him, as well as lied to her."
"You see Katan, I have spent most of our daughters childhood away from her, but the fact still remains, I neglected to inform her of her harritage as well as the fact that I too was a demon." He added quietly.
"Yususke, went behind my back, and told her everything about us, as well as taught her to fight. Which brings me to the present, she virtually snapped, taking her anger out of Kuwabara's son, and is getting back at me by fighting in the tournament." Hiei swallowed, as Katana took in the last piece of information. Which she wasn't taking very well.
" Hiei, you really did screw up," She sighed as she looked into his harsh eyes.
"But maybe I can make things right again, just maybe I can talk to her. You do know where she is don't you?
"Yes, I do actually, she just went to sleep a while ago, so I have a lock on her present location. But its late Katana, we will let her sleep." He replied.
"Okay, but we should make sure I have enough time to talk to her before the tournament starts tomorrow afternoon, got it. I at least need an hour." Katana said firmly.
"We will let her sleep till around ten, which is obviously five hours from now. And we will talk to her then. Got it."
"Now, we should leave the lobby, everyone else is probably in the room by now, I think we should make our way up there," Hiei smirked.
"Yes, lets go!" Katana said cheerfully as she followed Hiei as he began to walk to the elevator.
Kuro- Hello, Sorry I haven't updated in over a month, my computer took a shit and refused to let us online. So we had to get another one.. But I have one thing besides that to say, I probably going to chill on the updates a bit. Because I have to figure out how to end the story, ect.
