Hiei sat on Genkai's porch watching Yukina play with the little girl. Someone came to sit by him, and instinctively he reached for the person's hand. He knew who it was. "Hiei," Kurama whispered softly, "Hiei...how did you know that one demon?" Hiei looked at the red head, and then quickly looked away, "You mean Karu?" Kurama nodded, and muttered, "Yes...but if you don't want to talk ab-" Hiei shushed him, stroking Kurama's hand. "I'll tell you..."
Hiei watched Yukina and the little girl with his cold red eyes. "I had a family once...a wife and a son. He was about her age when he..." Kurama stared at Hiei, eyes wide. "My wife's name was Ichiko. Black hair...green eyes...a small woman...but still taller than me. She was a demon that controlled trees, and I met her when I was caught in one of her traps. She hadn't meant to hurt me so she tended to me. When I woke...I loved her instantly, and in my fever I tole her so. When I could think more clearly, I found out her name was Ichiko. We married soon after, and had a son. Rein...Rein was his name. At the time I was working for Karu, he had been trying to woo Ichiko for years. Furious that I had won her heart, he diapered, and I hadn't heard any news of him for a long time. He came back when Rein was just five. Ichiko and my boy were home alone. I returned to find Karu standing over their dead bodies. He had come to rape Ichiko-but she wouldn't let him touch her. He killed our son, and then tried to rape her, but she killed herself saying that only I could touch her. Karu looked at me a vowed that he'd destroy everything I loved, and left...just like that."
Hiei's eyes followed the blue haired child that was chasing after butter flies. "I guess you could say that's when I closed off my heart to others," Hiei said with a bitter laugh. Tears had sprung to Kurama's eyes, and he kissed Hiei very gently. Hiei snaked his arm around his waist kissing him back, with much more passion than Kurama had began the kiss with. When the kiss was done Kurama laid his head on Hiei's shoulder, "Now I know why you named that little girl Ichiko. For your son and wife...Hiei do I...do I bring about painful memories?"
"No Kurama. No," Hiei held the fox tighter, "you bring about only good ones." Yusuke suddenly appeared, quiet as ever. He wasn't so pale anymore, and his hair slicked back nice. Something about what the girl said earlier had comforted him. She had given more information on where Kuwabara had been sent. They knew the only torture Kuwabara suffered was when they took him into the back rooms. The last time they took Kuwabara was taken into the back room, Ichiko was taken back there too. She claimed they looked at each other through a glass window, and then placed in separate rooms. All she could remember was Hiei rescuing her, and nothing more of Kuwabara. But she was positive, as positive as a five year old could be that, Kuwabara was not dead, or else his body would be in one of the glass rooms.
Genkai came to them, and looked over at the little girl. "Boeton is here," The old woman whispered, "she said that they got the blood work back...Koenma wants to see us. Says it's very important." The three looked at her, and then back to the little girl.
The little girl who chased the butterflies.
