Everyone had been overjoyed with the new arrival of the baby. Even Hiei, but now he was beginning to learn the responsibilities of having one.

"Hiei!" Tomoe yelled. "What?" He asked in annoyance. "Can you please come here? I need you to hold her!" Hiei slowly got up from his place on the couch and walked over to Tomoe who was holding Hina in her arms. "Here." She said handing Hiei over to Hina. "Boy, she's getting big." Yusuke said poking Hina in the cheek. Hina giggled playfully and pulled on Yusuke's cheek. "Ow. C'mon kid let go." Yusuke whined. Hiei smirked and looked away.

It had been a couple months since Hina had been born, and she had indeed grown. Hina directed her attention to her father who had a grumpy look on his face. Hina began to play with his hair, laughing as she did. Hiei's annoyance grew as his daughter enjoyed her little adventure in "The Locks of Hiei." Yusuke chuckled at his friend. "Having fun Hiei?" "Shut up." Hiei replied. "Okay, I can take her now." Tomoe replied motioning to remove Hina from Hiei. Hina latched on tighter and shook her head.

Tomoe smiled at said in a playful voice, "Do you wanna stay with daddy? Do you?" Hina smiled and nodded vigorously. Tomoe laughed. "Okay, I'll leave you with daddy." Hiei looked at her. "No you won't! Take her now! My head is not a play thing!" He yelled. Tomoe lightly hit him on the head. "She wants to be with you now. And besides I could use the rest." Tomoe said walking to her room. Hiei watched helplessly as she walked off.

"What's the matter Hiei?" Kurama asked. "Don't you want to be with your daughter?" Hiei sat down next to Kurama setting Hina down on his lap. "Not when she's trying to pull my hair out of my head." He replied. Hina grabbed Kurama's long sideburns and tugged on them. Kurama winced in pain. "Come now Hina. Let go." Kurama said trying to coax the child. Hina giggled loudly and held on tighter. Hiei laughed then sighed. "See what I mean?" He said.

Hina went back to playing with Hiei's hair. "Ha ha! Papa!" She said. Hiei's eyes went wide and he looked down at her. "What did you say?" He asked looking her straight in the eyes. Hina smiled again. "Papa! Papa!" she said giggling. Hiei looked at her wide eyed. "What's the matter Hiei?" Kurama asked folding his arms. "Her....her first word." Hiei said. Yusuke smiled and put his arms behind his head. "No kidding? Hey Tomoe!" Yusuke yelled.

Tomoe groggily walked out of her room. "What? I was just about o fall asleep." She whined. "Hina spoke." Kurama replied with a smile. Tomoe's eyes snapped open. "Really?!" she asked kneeling down to Hina who was still sitting on Hiei's lap. "Did you talk? Come on. Talk for mommy." She said picking Hina up. "Papa!!" Hina said loudly. "Oh! Hiei did you hear?! She said "Papa!" Tomoe said bouncing Hina up and down in her arms. "You're so smart! Yes you are!" Tomoe said rubbing her nose against Hina's.

Hiei watched as Tomoe smiled and played with Hina. Suddenly his eyes averted to the window. He stood up and his hand automatically flew to his katana. "Hiei?" Tomoe said. "What's wrong?" Kurama said standing up as well. "We're being watched." Hiei replied. Kurama summoned his rose whip and Yusuke stood looking around. "There!" Hiei shouted running towards the kitchen door. Kurama and Yusuke sprinted out after him. Tomoe stayed behind and held Hina close to her. She leaned against the wall watching for anyone who might come in.

Then a cloaked figure broke down the door and walked into the room. "Who are you? What do you want?!" Tomoe yelled holding Hina's head to her chest. "Your daughter." The figure said. "What?!" Tomoe's eyes went wide. "My master wants your daughter. I must do as he wishes." The figure replied walking over to Tomoe. "Stay away!" She yelled holding out her hand and shooting water out of it. The figure simply leapt aside and kept walking.

Tomoe jumped away holding Hina tightly. The figure appeared behind her. "I'm sorry." It said before it thrust Tomoe into the wall. Tomoe landed on her back keeping Hina from getting hurt. The figure walked up to Tomoe and took Hina from her arms. "No," Tomoe said. "Give her back! Now!" The figure simply stood there and fled out the door.

-Hiei-

Hiei stood outside sensing for any energy. "Where did it go?" He thought. Then someone jumped out of some nearby bushes. "Follow it!" Yusuke shouted. Hiei and Kurama sped after him. "Hiei!!" Hiei turned around to find Tomoe limping towards the door. He stopped and ran after her. "Tomoe! What happened?!" He asked. "Hina...they....they took her." She said holding her side. "What?!" Hiei yelled. He ran towards the woods to find a figure leaping away with Hina in his arms. "Hina!" He screamed. Hiei jumped after them leaping from branch to branch.

"Give her back! Give me my daughter you bastard!!" He shouted. The figure turned around in mid-air and shot an energy blast at Hiei. Hiei, taken by surprise, was hit with the attack and fell off the branch he was jumping off of. He landed hard on his back. By the time he stood up again, the figure was gone along with his daughter.

"No...." he said. "No!! Give me Hina!!" He shouted falling to his knees. He hit the ground hard with his fist. "Damn!" He said as he hit the ground. "Damn! Damn! DAMN!" Hiei screamed. "The other person. It was just a decoy." He said to himself. He shut his eyes tightly and screamed.

"I'LL KILL YOU!!!"
