Hiei's Girl? Visions? And a Plan
Botan's POV
The next day, Haru gave me the day to send in the city, for that following day we were to free father from his prison. I was happy to hear it, I could not remember my father very well but I was sure that he was the part of what I was missing. For in the pit of my soul I felt a hole growing. But I was positive that when I got my father back the hole would fill and I would be happy.
As I walked though the city I saw steps to a shrine and paused as I vision of an old wise woman. She looked as if she was once beautiful and the beauty had faded into years of wisdom. I could not recall the old woman so I walked up the many many steps to the top and froze on the last step...what would I do, walk up to her and say 'hi I had a vision about you, who are you?' I laughed and walked back down and away.
Normal POV
Not but three seconds after Botan left the four distraught boys walked up to the temple and sat on the stoop.
"Where is she, she could be hurt or..." Kuwabara started but was stopped by his heart he could not bring himself to even think of her as dead.
"She has to be somewhere." Yusuke said
"She could be anywhere." Kurama said, "I wish we knew more about this case." He said
"It is time we stopped moping around and talk to that toddler." Hiei said, "Why we didn't do it in the first place is beyond me." He scoffed
"This was supposed to be a secret." Yusuke said "but this has gotten out of hand." He said, "lets go." He shot up and the others followed.
"STOP!" came a smooth and hard voice.
"Nakia?" Kurama and Hiei said at the same time and looked at each other.
"Fox, how do you know her?" Hiei said
"I should ask you the same thing? I met her yesterday." He said
"Hn," Hiei turned "what are you doing here? How did you find me?" Hiei asked the girl.
"So I guess introductions are overrated," Yusuke said sarcastically.
Nakia walked up to Hiei slowly and with purpose in her yellow cat-like eyes, her black Hair swaying in the wind. SLAP! It snapped through the city. Kurama, Kuwabara, and Yusuke stepped back as the sweatdropped.
"Did she just?" Kuwabara started
"Uh huh." Yusuke nodded with his mouth wide open.
"Hn." Hiei put a hand to his face and looked away.
"Good, so you know what that was for." She said tears forming in her eyes. "How could you do that to me?" she asked her fists forming balls at her side. "I waited for you in that cave for hours and you never came back. The thieves told me that you had been killed and I was depressed for years, until I come to find that you are alive."
"Foolish Neko, what would know about it?" Hiei asked
"Hiei, I thought you were gone, you were the only friend I had, we were outcasts. I looked everywhere for you, Hiei, those thieves did thing you would not believe, you were the only one who protected me from them." She said Pulling up he shirt just high enough to reveal her belly.
Yusuke covered Kuwabara's eyes as he stared straight at Nakia. Kurama blushed but did not look away he was mature like that, and curious.
"Look at it, they branded me." She cried, on her belly in the center just above her navel was a circle about two inches in diameter, and in the center was a five-pointed star.
"Hn." Hiei looked and a flash of anger shot though him. "What would I care?" he asked
"Hiei?" Kurama said
"Stay out of this one, fox." Hiei warned "see you at Koenma's." he said and turned to Nakia "as for you I suggest you end your search here and now, and go back home." He said and was gone.
"He has always been this way." Yusuke said in comfort.
"No he hasn't sure he was could but never to me." Nakia looked at him. "I don't know what to do now." She bit her bottom lip.
"Stay here, I will get Hiei to talk to you." Kurama said, "just wait until we come back. Just tell Genkai that we will be back soon." Kurama pointed at the temple.
"Thank you, Red one." She smiled and walked on to the temple as the guys ran of in the other direction.
Botan's POV
As I continued my walk I came to a stop at and apartment complex, it looked as if it had been remade after a fire, and another vision came, this one was of a boy with slick black hair and soft chocolate eyes. He was trap within a fire, whether he was dead or not I couldn't tell. But why was I having these visions.
I shook my head and walked on only to stop in front of a red rose. It made me smile, it looked like a mirror I had, and it was in my hands when I woke up in Haru's house. He took it from me and put it in a safe. I still don't know why but now I knew that I had to get it.
I looked back at the rose, "what are you trying to tell me?" I asked as I ran back home to get the mirror. Perhaps it could explain the visions, I didn't know how but I knew it would tell me something.
