Chapter 2
"So, what does she own?" Kurama asked. "A hell hound." I tsked him, "You shouldn't live out Killer! He's a werewolf, that's why I have chains." They nodded. "He was born it so he doesn't have a human side, but it gets worse on full moons. But besides on full moons he's a big softy." Kurama seemed to ease back a little. "I know I'm weird, and I know you don't like me but just look past it...I could always be something else that you hate." They nodded. "Hiei show her to her room." Hiei walked towards the door with me following close behind.
"So tell me about yourself." I said happy the hunting from them would stop. "Why should I?" Hiei asked coldly. "Because Hiei you're goin' to have to put up with me for a while and I thought I should make the best of it. But if you don't want me to know fine; I really don't care as long as one group of people quit hunting me!" I said looking at a painting as we passed. "Fine..." I looked at him, but the only thing I could see for now was the back of his head, and also see that he was two inches taller then me. "I'm what people call the Forbidden Child...And I barely care about anything." Now why does that sound familiar? I thought to myself trying to remember part of my past. "What's the matter onna; speechless?" He asked cruelly. "Not in the least bit, but for some reason I remember hearing that when I was little." I said as we stopped in front of a room.
"Kurama's room is on your left, Yusuke's on your right, mine across from you, and Kuwabara's is beside mine." I nodded, "And I care because?" I asked him coldly. "Because you might need some help one night, and we will be your helpers." I rolled my eyes as I turned back and walked away from him, "Every vampire that has ever came after me never returns to the brethren alive, but I not the one who will need the help Hunter. You will, along with your friends."
Once back at the office Koenma seemed a little upset. "You okay binky breathe?" I asked him. "Yes, but I don't think I can't let a werewolf stay in my palace." I looked at him like don't you think about it! "No, I'm not leaving him out there! If a spirit fox in a human body can stay here, then so can he! I told you I won't let him hurt anyone." I said upset. "Why do you care?" Hiei asked. "Because I only have a few friends, and I plan on keeping them!" I said glaring at the pint sized ruler in front of me. "Dawn, I just want to make sure my people are safe." I nodded, "And I want my friend not to feed! He's too nice to left out on the streets, and if I leave him out there he will be killed by the brethren!" Koenma nodded, "Okay only if you can keep him in your room." "I'll make sure he is on full moons, other wise he will be just fine. I make sure he only eats what I fix him!" I said walking over and placing my hands on Koenma's desk! "You either take what I offer you, or I actually let him out because I want to." I said coldly. "You forget who you are talking to!" He announced. "No, you forget who took out an army just to get away from here. You forget who doesn't remember half her past, and is known as a freak to any kind! SO no Koenma you forget who you are talking to!"
He gulped. "I'm not hungry thank you." I announced, and jumped up to the roof. I paced back and forth. "I will make sure he is in my room of the night, and that he doesn't harm anyone, but that's all I'm offering. He needs to be able to move about." I said giving him reasons. "Then I will let him, but as I said with the knife, until you break that trust." I nodded. "Kurama take her to get her things." I jumped down off the roof. "Thank you Koenma Daioh." He smiled. I then walked through the portal he gave us to go back to the ally.
I opened the door, and pulled out a bag, and began to put my blades in it. "Why do you need...?" I cut him off, "So many? Because when you are hunted where ever you go you tend to get in quite a few fights." I said as I finished. "Now come we have five other places to go to." I said starting out the ally way.
We stopped at another ally way. I walked down it, and opened a door that was to the left this time. It held some of my clothes if my apartment was found, and traced back to me. I grabbed another bag, and put the clothing in the bag, and handed it to Kurama. "So is Kurama your first name or last?" I asked him. "It's not really mine, it belongs to the..." "I know who it really belongs to...the fox in you, but still..." He understood, "It's the last name, Yoko is the first." I nodded as we walked out of the ally way. "So tell me, do you hate me like Hiei does, worse, or less?" I asked him as we began to other ally ways to pick up more clothing. "I hate no one...I merely dislike." Great another way to say hate! "Well then do you dislike my more or less then Hiei?" Kurama looked at me, "I don't hate..." I rolled my eyes. "Yes you do, you just find fancy words to help you dance around the truth! That word has helped others dance around the truth just like you are trying to for longer then you know." Kurama looked down at his feet, as we came down another ally way.
By the time we were done with the allies I was glad because he kept trying to tell me he doesn't hate.
As I stepped into my apartment I gave him my blade bag as my Hellhound came and jumped on me. "Hey I missed you too." I said as the dog started to lick my face. "Stop Morana." She got off me, and went to sit on the couch. I then walked into my bed room. Kurama followed behind me. "The name came from Slavic mythology." I rolled my eyes as I began to pack. "I kinda realized when I picked the name. I don't know why I picked the name I just know I did, and what it means. Now if you don't mind grab my chains for Killer could you?" I asked packing the rest of my clothes, and everything else. I heard Morana bark, and when she does that it means company. I pulled out my swords, and told Kurama to stay in my room.
I walked out in to the living room to see what was going on. "Down dog, good dog, please don't hurt me." It was the detective. "SO you're awake. What are you doin' here!" I asked him as Morana came over to me as I put my blades up. "Koenma wanted to see what was keeping you." I nodded. I knelt down beside Morana, "Don't let him come towards the back rooms, okay?" Morana nodded, and went to lay back down on the couch. "Just have a seat, and don't mess with Morana, and you'll be okay." I said to assure him, but it didn't do any good.
I went back, and finished packing. "Kurama do you have the chains?" I asked. "Yeah, here they are." I walked over and grabbed one of them. The leash. "Go into the living room with your friend and I'll be right there." I said walking towards the very back room.
I opened the door to Killer's room. Killer looked up at me with happy eyes. I had actually lied to Koenma about the human side. "Can you change into your were form?" He nodded, and did what I said. "I need you to stay like this for a while okay?" He nodded, and let me put the leash on him. I walked out to the living room with Killer following behind me. "Are you ready now?" I nodded. Killer howled, not very happy to see other males in the house. "Calm down, their not goin' to hurt us." I said getting on my knees beside him. I knew why he was upset to see men in the house besides I've been attacked by vampires, and the hunters. He was my lover.
He looked up at me with a hurt look in his eyes. I kissed him on the forehead to reassure him. He gave me a smirk, and I knew he was okay now. "Their gonna help us." I whispered to him. He nodded. I smiled at he then stood up. "I think we're ready now." I said. I need to tell Koenma the truth about Killer, but... I couldn't finish my thoughts as the portal appeared. I grabbed some of my stuff, Kurama and Yusuke helped me with that. We all walked through. Morana jumped through after us, but ended up landing on Hiei. I laughed as she licked his face. "Oh, I think she likes you." I said. "Morana her girl!" She came over and sat beside my feet. "Koenma I would really like to talk to you alone!" I said. "Hiei, Kurama, take her things to her room please." They nodded and took the stuff.
"Yes what would you like to say?" He asked as Yusuke left shutting the door. "I lied about one thing." I stated walking over to his desk. "And what one thing was that?" He asked me upset. "About Killer, he was born full were wolf, but he does have a human side." Koenma nodded. "And he isn't a pet." Koenma got a look like what! "No the reason I put up such a big fight about leaving him behind is because he's my..." Killer changed form and stood in front of Koenma in his pants. "I'm her lover." Koenma's eyes went wide, "You mean her mate!" I nodded looking up at Killer. "He's nickname is Killer, but his real name is Lupercus Anwar Lockhart."
Killer was 5' 9", had silky smooth black hair that was cut short and usually spiked. He had almond shaped eyes that were golden. He was muscular like Hiei, and could run faster then any wolf I had seen. He was gentle, and kind; but when he needed to be he could be quite vicious. He had a beautiful smile, and treated me right. I couldn't help but to love him.
"No wonder you put up such a fight." Koenma said grabbing my attention. "I'm sorry, but I didn't really know what to tell you at the time; and I felt bad misleading you. But I really didn't want you to find out the wrong way; but I thought you would respect me if I told you the truth." I said looking at him. "When did you meet him?" I looked up at Killer, "When was it a hundred years ago?" Killer nodded smiling at me. "And you don't feel threatened by the fact he's a werewolf?" I shook my head. "No, he would never hurt, and if I was to get hurt...I would rather it by his hand." I said as Killer put his arm around my shoulders. "Okay." I smiled, "So you're not upset?" He shook his head, "No I understand." I smiled, and took his leash off him. "Owe, and I was enjoying being tugged around by you." I looked up at him. "Try to contain yourself, Killer." I said blushing. "Come on Forbidden child of mine." I looked at the ground and thought for a moment. "Forbidden child...where did I hear that before?" I asked myself.
"You don't remember when they called you that?" I shook my head. "Oh well...you'll remember soon." I nodded. "Thanks for understanding again." I said to Koenma smiling before leaving the office with Killer behind me. "So you really liked being tugged around by me uh?" I asked him as we walked towards my room. "Some what, but I wouldn't like it if I had to do it every day like they do normal dogs." I nodded, "That's why I don't do it. And because I really don't like having to tug you around." Morana followed quietly behind us. Yusuke stood in front of my door, but when he looked at me he got wide eyes! "What the hell! Who's that?" I looked behind me, "I see my were wolf Killer...in human form." I said entering the room. I heard Killer growl a little, but he didn't do anything.
He sat down on the bed. "I packed you the few clothes that weren't ruined, but we still have to go out and buy you some." I stated starting to unpack our clothes. "Okay, but the full moon is a week away remember that." I nodded as I finished putting our clothes in the cherry wood dresser. "Did you even look around this room?" I shook my head at his question. "No I'm busy unpacking. Um...could you hook the chains up good to the wall?" "Yeah, but what for I've never had to use them before." I nodded looking up at him, "But there are males in the palace, and you might go hey wire about that." He nodded, "I do tend to get jealous, don't I?" I giggled at this, but stopped as I found his arms pull me up to him. "But you can't blame me! You have attracted a crowd of men before!" I smiled at him, "And what of you! You did attract more women then I attracted men!" I said hugging him, and then looking him in the eyes.
"Yes, and you still seem to be jealous about that!" I smiled at him, "But I deserve to be, because your mine!" I said as Yusuke came in the room. "What is goin' on?" I turned to look at him. "Go away mix boy!" I said as Killer let go of me. "I'm here to make sure you'll find the kitchen, and living room." I nodded, and shut the door in his face locking it as I did so! "That's better." I whispered.
"Yeah, I thought I would like to peel his face off because of his ugliness." I smiled, "Help me unpack!" I said grabbing my blade bag, and opening it. I pulled out my blades, and put them on the walls. "Easy access." I mumbled as Killer finished the last bit. I looked at him smiling as he stood up, and looked at me on the other side of the room. "Hungry?" I asked him. "Yeah a little." I smirked, walked over to him. "I love you." I said wrapping my arms around him. "I love you too." I hugged him. I then looked up at him, but just as I did I found his lips pressed to mine. Trust me I didn't mind. When we broke the kiss I really didn't want to, but I would deal with it as usual.
"I don't know what I would do if I lost you." I whispered to him. "I do...and it wouldn't be pretty." I nodded. "Let's not think about the brethren for today." I nodded again, "Love to. Let's get something to eat." I said letting my arms fall to my sides. As I turned he grabbed my hand. I looked at him, "I just want to..." I smiled, "Don't explain yourself to me. I'm your mate, and your friend; I'm not one of those people who are just your friend." I said leading us to the door.
I opened it to find Yusuke still staring at the door. "Is it fun to do that?" I asked mockingly. "Don't start with me...I'm still pissed!" I shrugged, "I could've killed you with a different move if I wanted to; so be happy." I said looking him dead in the eyes. "Yeah how so?" I smirked, "Like I did Koenma's army once...with moon dragon blade, the move is called Killer of Moons. So try to stay on my good side...now shall we head to the kitchen?" I asked. He didn't move, but stared at me. Killer started to growl. "Chill he has a girlfriend, Kieko." I stated. Killer stopped but still glared. I shoved him into the wall across from me. "Stop or I'll help you! I already have a mate!" I hollered at him.
I walked with Killer by my side still holding my hand. "You have to be nice, no growling. They won't ever take me from you." Killer smirked, "Even if it met your life you wouldn't live me to die! You're too stubborn." I smiled. "I know, but that can be good at times." I said as we reached the kitchen. Kurama was cooking, Hiei at the window in the sitting area, and the other idiot on the couch. "Whatcha cookin'?" I asked Kurama as Killer sat down at the table. He turned to look at me, but was shocked to find another man here. "Who's that?" I looked at him, and smiled. "It's my mate, Killer." I said happily going over to see what he was cooking. "You have a mate, and he's named after your wolf?" I shook my head, "No, Killer is his nickname and that is the werewolf! I told Koenma I told a little white lie, but at the time I really didn't want to explain things, okay?" He nodded at me.
"SO does the onna bug you, or do you bug her?" I glared at Hiei for asking such things. "Well, depends what you mean. If she's pissed and starts a freezing frenzy then she can upset me, but she doesn't bug me. And I surly hope I don't bug her." I looked at Killer and smiled. "It only depends when you start to act too much like an animal, but I inform you and you soon quit, so there's nothing wrong there." Killer was pleased to hear that.
I looked at Hiei, "But in case you forgot this onna has a name, and it just so happens to be of the thing full blooded vampires hate most, Dawn!" I said. I jumped up to the roof. "So what do you call that Kurama?" I asked him. "I don't call it anything. Though it is very good for the body, and does taste good to everyone here you might not like it, and if you don't fix yourself something to eat." I growled, "I hate you to hunter!" I said walking on the roof into the living room. "Dawn, calm down...they are giving us a place to stay." I looked at my mate, "Yes, but that makes it okay for you to growl at every male that looks at me! They all hate me, and I hate them!" Kurama sort of coughed to get my attention, "I dislike, not hate." I flung my hands up in defeat. "It means the same thing." Killer stated. "By god some one agrees with me. Blast me down oh might savor, and kill the half breed me!" I screamed pissed. "Great you guys got her freezing things again. Dawn, please get down here." I glared down at the ground to pissed to want to stop. "No at least up here no one can try to kill me in my sleep."
"Would you like me to help her down?" I looked at the smirking Hiei. "In what way could you help if you begin to freeze?" Killer asked not like the short ones tone. "I have me ways." He said forming a fire ball in his hand. "You won't be able to hit her. She's more experienced, and can counter it." Hiei nodded and let the fire burn out. "Dawn Josephine Bloodworth, get down here!" I looked at Killer like I never heard that name before, but then again after being called other things for so long one can forget things. "Dawn..." I looked in his eyes my mind trying to remember things, but it the images coming to my mind went to fast. "Why can't I remember?" I asked my self holding my head. "The ice stopped, I usually talk to her for a while to calm her down; then she goes for a walk. Dawn are you okay?" I didn't answer, really in a way I couldn't. I was trying to slow things down, and sort it all out.
I was finally able to get one set done in my head. It was my fifth birthday, and the whole brethren were there. That day...I started to see what was going on. I couldn't hear the present time conversation; the only things I could hear were the people in the memory. They were telling my parents that I should die, and my parents didn't take to kindly to that. "She's our daughter, you should be happy for us instead of against us!" My mother stated. I looked at her and realized where I got my eyes and hair from. I got most things from her, but I was still like my dad too. "If she was pure then we wouldn't have to fear what could happen to us. She will never fit in with any kind no matter how hard you try to make her feel like she could. Why not just try to put her out of her misery?" My mother held up her hand, "She is my daughter, and I love her that's why!" Then it started the fight that killed them both, and I was thrown out of the brethren and left to die on the streets. The memory then ended.
"No! Why can't I remember!" I asked screaming at myself like it would help. I jumped down, and ran out the back door. I ran for the woods. I ran till I couldn't no more. "Why, why, why! Why can't I remember!" I screamed again cradling my head in my hands. Tears ran down my face in frustration! "What happened back then...what hurt me, what made me happy? Who am I?" I asked myself softly. I looked up to the grey sky, and screamed out! "God help me! God help me please!" But nothing came to me. I looked at the ground upset, "Even the great creator who put me here doesn't want me; won't help me." I whispered to myself believing every word. I heard a twig snap behind me. I jumped up, and turned to see who it was. It was Killer. I sighed in relief. "Killer, what do you want?" I asked him. "I want my mate happy! Like we used to be back in France." I smiled as he came over behind me, and hugged me to him. "Like we were in Russia, and Italy, and Ireland, and Spain, and Denmark. I just want you as happy as you can be." He said nuzzling my neck. I giggled, "I just want to remember things, but I would give up my memory just to be with you." Killer gave a low growl that came deep from in his throat, near my ear. "Killer stop that!" I said giggling. "Why should I, you like it! You know you do." I leaned back against him. "Now that's not fair!" He whispered in my ear.
"No what you were doin' wasn't fair!" I said turning and looking at him. "Yes it was; it made you happy!" I pushed him to the ground. "Yeah, and I know what that growl means, and wants me to do Mr. Lockhart. But we can't! Not right now." I said smiling. "You know what the bad thing about next week is?" I shook my head. "It starts mating season again." I looked at him surprised, "I guess well just be sleeping in a cave next week then." Killer smiled at me, "How about we find that cave right now?" I shook my head, "I'm not really feeling so hot right now. Maybe later." He nodded. I got up to let him up, but I started to feel very dizzy. "You okay?" I shook my head. "I think the ice blasts, and the fight took it out of me to day." I said weakly. "Okay, you got to get to bed then." I started to feel weak all over. "Killer, I don't think I'll be able to walk." I said looking at him. He nodded, and picked me up. When I was in his arms he planted a gentle kiss on my forehead, and started to walk to the palace as I passed out.
