Ch. 6: A Tragic Day

Disclaimer:  If I owned YuYu Hakusho, Hiei would bow to my every wish, but unfortunately I don't.  But in this story, I have control!! DUN, DUN, DUN!!!  Well, y'all probably don't believe, but on the first part of this chapter I had no idea what I was typing.  I didn't even know what I wrote until I read it!

Anyway: Thanks Beverly, for your review!  I'll try to update faster!

Thank you InuShemeeko for your review!  Yes, the Yusuke getting sick thing happens later.  The first ten chapters or so will be explaining Kurama's and Hiei's past.  The real story hasn't really started yet, but it will soon.

P/N:  GOMEN GOMEN GOMEN!!!!!!  I am soooooo sorry to all of you!!!  In my rush to get to school I posted the wrong chapter!!!!  Gah!  I'm so ashamed!  I really didn't mean to!!!!!  Please forgive me!!!!  It was 7:00 and my bus came around 7:05, but I needed to post because I promised Hieis4gotndreamr and she promised you she'd have it up by Tuesday!  So, I hope you accept my apology, and here's the SIXTH, not seventh, SIXTH chapter.

"Ouch, oh, oww!!!"  That's all we had been hearing all day.  Hina went into to labor and was in an extraordinary amount of pain. 

Kuronoe volunteered to keep Riku busy, so he wouldn't come downstairs.  Isei was too nervous to come down and see he children born.  He was probably pacing in his bedroom.  Some father!

"Don't you fucking touch me!" I never thought someone as small as Hina could scream so loud.  Ami had been right beside her for the whole thirteen hours, but now the first one was coming.

"I said don't touch me!  OUCH!!!" I was forced to sit outside the door, which didn't bother me.  Her screams were loud enough outside the door.  I couldn't imagine being beside the poor girl.

I could here Miyo calmly telling Hina how to breathe, to try to relax, that it would be over soon.  A few moments later, I heard the first one cry. 

"It's the fire demon," the guard shrieked.  "Take it away!" 

Hina was now pleading with the guard.  "No, please, let me hold my baby!"  The door opened, revealing a demon guard holding a naked male baby upside down, by the leg.  It screamed and cried, still covered in blood, but as he put it in the clear container, it stopped crying.

The guard walked back into the room, after setting the container on a near by chair.  Through the glass, the child stared straight at me. 

As I stared back a wave of guilt hit me.  The thing would die soon, and it didn't even know.  It had barely lived, and it was to be killed.  It was innocent, had commented no crimes, except being born the wrong race.

I don't know how long we stared at each other, but the silence of the hall was broken by a gentle spraying sound.  The baby giggled softly as I realized what happened.  It peed on the wall of the 2 by 3 glass box. 

I smiled to myself. Yes, so innocent, yet so devilish.

Almost two hours later there was another cry.  The girl had witnessed her cold new world.  Miyo came out, with a smile on her face.  "Six pounds, seven ounces," was all she said.  They didn't bother to weigh the boy.  It didn't matter.

Now the guard from earlier and another guard came for the child.  I took one last look at the forbidden child.  Something caught my attention.  It had red eyes, just like his father.  It also had the same black hair.

 Then, it was gone, crying once again.  The guards had hauled it off to who knows where.  They had gotten what they came for.  The only reason they came, was to make sure no one made off with the child. 

Miyo put a hand on my shoulder and looked at the door.  I took that as my que to enter, so I did.

Ami was sitting on the side of the bed, while a silently crying Hina, held the girl.  I walked up to them and asked, "Well, what's her name?"

Hina thought for a moment, and then running her fingers through the girl's very thin sea green hair, said, "Yukina.  I've always loved that name."  Then, she looked up at my sister and added, "Yukina Ami."

I went upstairs, to inform Chicken-ass that he was now officially a father.  When I got to his room, it was empty.

I went across the hall, to Kuronoe's room, but it was only Riku.  "Riku, where are Isei and Kuronoe?" 

"Outside fighting about something," he said as he shrugged his shoulders.  I raced down the stairs, having no idea where outside I was going.  There was a lot of "outside" outside my mansion. 

As I slung open the front door, I heard yelling in the backyard. Isei, you better not be fighting Kuronoe physically!  As I rounded the corner, I saw Kuronoe with his finger in Isei's face.  Isei had a very angry expression on his face.  It was clear, by Kuronoe's yelling, that they were just arguing. 

I backed up behind the wall to hear what they were saying.  This is what I heard.

"You can't leave!  You're their father!  And what about Hina, what will she think!"

"Why don't you mind your own business, Kuronoe!  Besides, I won't be 'their' father for long!  I'll be her father!"

"You're still a father, Isei!  Hina needs you!"

"Look, I never meant for her to get pregnant, alright!"

"But, she did, Isei!  And it's your fault!"

"It's not my fault the condom fell off!"

I really wasn't expecting that one.  I stepped out from my hiding place, and started walking toward them.  "What's going on here?"

They both looked surprised to see me, but Kuronoe answered me.  "The little bitch is leaving!"

"What do you mean leaving?  Where're you going, Isei?"

"Why don't you mind your own business, fox boy!"

I took a few steps closer, so I was in Isei's face.  "This is my business.  You live in my house.  You got your girlfriend pregnant in my house!  You girlfriend had your twins in my house!  Now answer my question!"

Isei had an angry pouting look on his face as he said, "I'm running away.  Hina will be better off without me."

I looked at him questioningly.  "You're going to miss the big robbery tomorrow."

"I don't care," was all he said.

My face went stern and serious, as I said, "Once you leave Isei, I never want you coming back.  Ever!  I never want to see you on my land ever again.  If I ever do, I will not hesitate to kill you.  I will not allow a coward on my land!  Is that understood?"

Isei nodded.  "Then get out, you bastard!"

He turned a sped away like a lightning bolt.  That's the last time I ever saw him.

"Are you sure, Kuronoe," I asked.

"Kurama, please.  I've been on my feet for a month now. Don't worry.  Besides, we've been planning this robbery for weeks now."

Kuronoe and I were getting dressed in my room.  We had to put on clothes we could move easily in.  This would be mine and Kuronoe's first robbery, with just us, since Kuronoe got sick.

"But, are you sure you don't want to wait awhile?"

"Kurama, I'm fine," Kuronoe said, while putting on his good luck pendant.  I can't remember a time when he left the mansion without it.

It was getting close to dark when we headed out.  We had both stretched our muscles and warmed up for the run.

"Be careful," was all Miyo said.  

"We will, don't worry," we said in unison.

Riku came up to me and gave me hug.  I patted him on the back and told him to behave.

He approached Kuronoe for a hug, and I swear I thought he was going to squeeze him to death.  "Bring us back something good," Riku said.  Kuronoe laughed and patted his back.

Then they pulled away from each other and Ami approached.  She had nervous tears in her eyes.  Kuronoe smiled and pulled her into passionate kiss.  It must have lasted a good five minutes.  My sister finally pulled away and whispered in Kuronoe's ear.

"I love you."

"Ditto," he said.

"Come back to us safely."

"I will."  And we were off.

We sprinted through the fields, the valley, all the way to the castle, our destination.  We approached in a cautious crouch.  There were guards everywhere in the front. 

We snuck around to the back through the edge of the woods.  Once again, guards everywhere.  We made a slow approach until we were behind the main guards at the door.  We quickly snapped their necks and entered.  There was a long corridor, with strange pictures on the walls.  They were all in black and white, with very…odd backgrounds. 

I tried not to stare at the one with the pretty old looking demons getting it on, as we reached another room.  Kuronoe slyly made his way to the vault, as I started snapping some guard necks in our way.  As I laid down the last dead body, I heard the vault click and open.  I started walking over to the vault, when I heard movement above my head.

"Damnit!  Kuronoe, speed things up a bit.  We're being watched!"  There was a Watch Bat hanging from the ceiling, and it saw us.  If it made any noise, we were screwed. 

Well, of course, it screeched!  Kuronoe grabbed what we came for, a crystal orb worth millions, and we took off.

The bat went one way and we went the other.  We headed toward the front, knowing it was probably our best bet.  We knocked down guards and maids and anything else in our get away route.  We finally busted through the big double doors, and hauled ass.  We didn't stop to fight, because we knew soon there would be too many to handle.

As we entered to woods, I dropped a seed that would instantly sprout into fatal shoots of bamboo, if stepped on.  I heard it sprout as a guard took his last breath.  Every few steps, I would drop another.

After a while, the guards started shooting weird forms of spirit energy our way.  We dodged them, this way and that.  Then, one hit Kuronoe's pendant and it fell to the ground.

Kuronoe turned back to retrieve it.  "No, Kuronoe, leave it, keep running!" 

"But, I need it," he shouted back.  I stopped to wait for him, but the most dreaded thing happened.  He stepped on one of my seeds!

"KURONOE!!!"  I started back for him, but he stopped me.

I watched in horror as my trap began to grow, my best friend being impaled by shoots of bamboo.  Crimson water began to flow, staining the ground, and haunting my mind.  I couldn't do anything, and I hated that feeling.  Yet even throughout his excruciating pain he could still shout, "No, Kurama!  Leave me!"

So I did, and I still didn't stop, even after I had long since lost the guards.  When I finally did, I was in the middle of an open field.  I dropped to my knees and silently cried.  I didn't turn back to get him.  There was no doubt in my mind; Kuronoe was gone.

I didn't want to go home with that news, but I knew I had to.  I slowly, sulking, made my way to the mansion, with my "prize" in my hands. I held Ami and Riku in my arms as I told them.  We all cried together.

A/N:  Hey, Hieis4gotndreamr here!  I hope you liked this chapter.  Just to let you know, this story might start being posted under my name, because my computer is no longer dead!  J  Just to let you know, I think the real story will start by chapter eleven!  I plan to have Yusuke/Keiko, Hiei/OC, maybe Kurama/Botan, and possibly, Kuwabara/Yukina!  Let me know what you think I should do!  Remember to R&R please!!!!!!!

Oh, I don't own the robbery scene from the part where they start getting chased up to the part where Kuronoe gets killed and tells Kurama to run.  I got that from the Yuyu Hakusho movie.  The rest of that scene, and the treasure, are mine.  I couldn't remember what the treasure was in the movie, so I used my own.  Reikachan14 helped me come up with the idea.

Now I will hand this thing over to Reikachan14 for the posters note!  Once again, please R&R for me!  Thanks! 

P/N:  Hey Again, it's me.  I hope you enjoyed this chapter!  It's amazing isn't it?  Well, please review!!!!!  And tell your friends!
