Kuwabara: Why not, Yume?
Yume: Because I'm an assho-
Kurama: (covers her mouth with his hand quickly) Yume-chan, none of that. Please, while my sanity is still intact.
Yume: (gives him a raspberry) If you insist, party pooper.
Hiei: I doubt Kurama has pooped any parties, but he did just ruin the anchor.
Yusuke: --; That's the point.
Yume: (wanders off in a daze singing "Gravity" by Yoko Kanno)
Kurama: (goes into a daze happily listening to Yume-chan sing)
(Note: I am actually not that bad of a singer. I sang for my boyfriend once and he cried because he liked it so much.)
Hinoki slashed at her father and left a large cross gash across his chest. The blood soaked his shirt, leaving him the only option but to remove his shirt.
Yusuke had already knocked his opponent out of the ring unconscious.
Kurama was fighting a lovely girl with blonde hair and crimson eyes. She only wore a simple pink sun dress that fell just above her knees.
Hinoki didn't pay much attention to their fights. She was more concentrated on the death of her traitorous father.
She raised her katana high above her head and brought it down upon her father.
Moments before it struck, she felt her body pulsate and a voice whisper in her ear.
"Hinoki. My darling, beautiful child Hinoki."
Hinoki's eyes widened.
"M... mother?" She said aloud.
A woman appeared firmly between her injured father and herself.
All fighting stopped to stare at the unknown figure that had formed. Even the judges had been stunned to silence.
"M... mother? How could that be you?" Hinoki asked.
The woman's face was kind and gentle. Her hair was a dirty blonde and her eyes were blue.
She looked almost exactly like Hinoki. Her face was completely similar to that of Hinoki's.
"My darling daughter. How I have missed you so much. You have grown into a beautiful young demoness. I'll bet the boys never leave you alone. Koenma allowed me to come see you like this. I wanted to watch you. You have indeed inherited out bravery and strength." Her mother said proudly.
"Is that her mother?" Yusuke whispered to Kurama.
"I believe so." Kurama said.
"Whoa! Her mom is hot!" Kuwabara exclaimed.
"Is that you?" Her father had whispered.
Her mother turned lovingly to her father and smiled, "You did your job, my love. You helped me ensure our daughter to grow and become strong. I need one last favor from you."
Her father nodded as if to say, 'Anything for you.'
"I need you to forfeit this fight. I want you to transfer the stength you have saved for her along with the strength I have saved for her. The inheritance we promised her from birth." Her mother explained.
"Mother! You can't expect me to allow his trechory to go unpunished!" Hinoki exclaimed.
"I see Shikoshi has riddled your mind with lies." Her mother said with a hateful glare. It wasn't aimed at Hinoki.
"What!?" Hinoki gasped.
"Yes, Hinoki. Shikoshi was a thief. A traitor to our family. She was angry and stole the family heirloom. She gave you the katana back because she couldn't use it. But she was your older sister. And whatever plans she had in store for you in the future, they were interrupted when the clan of thieves attacked her. It was my dying wish that they find her and protect you. I wanted their young leader to protect you. They were our friends, Hinoki. They needed a sacrifice every fifty years, and they wanted yours. I denied them and offered mine." Hinoki's mother explained.
Hinoki clutched her head as the memories that were true flooded into her mind.
She clutched her head and screamed with sorrowful pain.
"Mother..." She whispered, falling to her knees.
"My darling daughter, I want you to take this orb of energy. It has your father's and my energy within it. With proper use it can make you stronger." Her mother said, offering her a glowing ball of red energy.
Hinoki looked up at her mother and accepted the glowing red ball.
Her mother smiled at them both before she disappeared into thin air. Her voice echoed into the air one last time.
"Hinoki, I wish you happiness." She said.
Hinoki fought back tears that threatened to fall as she stared into the glowing red orb.
With a last effort she pushed it into her chest and allowed it's powed to consume her. It caused her massive pain from within, but nothing so severe as to make her try to massacre herself.
She winced in pain and got up off her knees. Her father walked over to her, "Hinoki, these demons and demonesses are your half brothers and sisters. They will help you with anything you may need."
Koto regained her words, "I-it seems like both teams have begun to make a truce. I think the Koyotua Team is going to forfeit." She declared through her microphone.
Hinoki's father raised a hand and made a signal that he was forfeiting the match.
The rest of the team had left the arena as Hinoki's father gave her one last embrace and left the arena as well.
Hinoki waved to them as the former team Urameshi walked up to Hinoki.
"So... that was your mom?" Yusuke asked.
"Yes. My demon mother." Hinoki replied without looking away from her newly found family.
"Why don't we stop in the hospital to see how Hiei's doing?" Kurama asked.
Hinoki nodded.
Back at the hospital, Doctors monitored Hiei's present state. The heart monitor jumped and his brain waves showed signs of consciousness.
"Get the doctor in here!" One of the nurses ordered.
Hiei awoke to see a nurse standing over him only inches from his face. His vision was blurry. The demoness who stood over him had red hair, "Hinoki?" He whispered.
"No, I'm not Hinoki. She is on her way to the hospital now." The nurse had said.
Hiei closed his eyes and drifted back into subconsciousness.
When Hinoki arrived they had gotten a report of Hiei's state and what had happened.
Hinoki went into the room while Kurama carried a handful of white roses. Hinoki had insisted that they be white.
For what reason, Kurama didn't know.
Kurama set the flowers in a vase and Hinoki put black food coloring into the water. Kurama understood now. The black dye would make the roses black. How clever.
He smiled when he thought of how thoughtful she was to Hiei.
"I best be goin'. You never know when Chu might get into trouble." Jin said with an irish accent. (God I love that accent.)
"Hinoki, let us leave Hiei to his dreams. We can visit him tomorrow after tomorrows match against Shoken's team." Kurama suggested.
Hinoki nodded in agreement, "Yes, you're right as usual, Kurama. Let's go."
