Demons must be some bad joke of a crazy goddess
Part 11, aka 10
Epilogue
end of story.
Or, the amusement of a yokai
"Hiei!
Come instantly back here and help me with our dammed brat! He drives me crazyyyy!
Hiei!"
The tall red haired yokai watched as a very angry looking Kazuma went after a seemingly mischievous yokai, called Hiei in an expressive speed.
Right after the same now half human half yokai run a little figure that seem to have a lot fun with the funny behaviour of his parents.
To say that it was a shock even for her to find out that Hiei had adopted a little runt, Hiei had found outcaste on a street in a slave trader camp, was an understatement!
Mukuro watched with calm interest her heir and his mate chasing each other through the near woods and leaving a trail of destruction behind them.
The day Hiei suddenly brought the turned human to her stronghold with him had been, to say at least, eventful for the third ruler of the Makai.
The youth had cursed his stronger mate to the hell and back, for bringing him here without to ask him first.
Only to find out some days later, the Reikei suddenly forbid him to go back to the ningenkei. After that event the young fighter had been very still and depressed. After all, it was not his foul that Kazuma suddenly was a half demon!
Even since she knew of the parole of the Reikei, to let the mates of demons not live any longer as necessary in the human realm, she could not understand it this time.
Was the human not one member of the detectives team from the child ruler before?
Mukuro concluded that it must have something to do with her heir and was not happy with this all the slightest.
The youth turned out to be the answer to her silently prayers. He calmed her fiery heir in a way, even her own soldiers found amazing.
As long they were intelligent enough to stay away from Hiei's mate!
After she found, two days after Kazumas sudden arrival, two of her guards suddenly as ash in her frontward, they stayed away from the half human mate of the fire apparition as far they could muster it.
Hiei was jealous as nothing else when it came to his mate.
She snickered silently at the cute picture the two gave her unknowingly with their childish hunt after each other outside the window.
Mukuro loved it when the two made something crazy like this. After all, live in the Makai could be very boring, especially in the long winter!
The two love birds proved every day to be a funny distraction for the warlord with their funny behaviour.
Behind her she could hear one of the guards chuckling at the picture too.
Even they had begun to like the former human with the last year.
The youth proved himself as a competent fighter and thus that he was more polite as his mate, what proved for more as one of them for more as one time their last help to stay alive. When Hiei got angry, he got very angry and mostly it was his mate who only could calm the heir of Mukuro down again.
After Kazuma found out that she eat humans from time to time, he refused to come near to her again.
Much to Hiei's dismay; who had foreseen this reaction from his mate of this revelation.
It was Mukuro herself who finally talked with the former human and both came after some nasty arguments to the conclusion that it was the best to never speak of this again.
With a sad feeling the yokai watched the kind mate of her heir from there on avoid her presence and after another discussion of the two she found a satisfying conclusion with the former human.
She would not eat humans who had never done something bad to deserve this fate and he would never ask about the others.
Kazuma only asked her in the discussion at the end what it gave her to do so, because he was the meaning, that strength and power basing on eating humans was a way for a weakling because it was not real gained strength.
That gave the daemoness for the first time for hundreds of years something to think over.
Since then she refused to eat them.
Much to Mukuros own surprise!
He had a strange effect on the yokai around him. Even she was not immune to it as it seemed.
Then the day, a half a year back, Hiei brought suddenly the little bundle home with him from one of their normal patrols!
The boy was wet as a rat and smelled ill.
She was never found of any kind of slavery in her live. After all she knew too well first hand what it meant to be one!
Mukuro let the worm stay and to both surprise, Kazumas and Mukuros, it was of all people, Hiei who stayed with the little runt and looked after the young yokai the entire night.
Kazuma looked since then after their adopted child and Hiei mostly angered his mate with teaching the youth some nasty tricks. The baby yokai promptly tried out at Kazuma of course. Much to the turned youths dismay and Mukuros amusement!
And their fight about the name for the runt first!
Mukuro could not suppress her mirth about the memory any longer, she laughed loudly at it and needed minutes to calm back down.
Hiei's scowl when he lost against his mate was nearly priceless to watch!
So, the baby yokai got the name Kazuma wanted him to have, Kyoshi, after one of his friends in the ningenkei.
This particular human was a water user and was one of the few that sometimes sneaked with Yusukes help in the Makai to visit Hiei's mate from time to time.
The human got himself even a warning from the Reikei for this but seems not to care what they told him.
For the seaman, they all called the strong Rei-user, the turned mate of her heir seem to be some kind of an older brother.
The yokai watched that all with amusement and let the youth be.
Mostly when the human was here, he watched for the two after the little pest of a demon child so the two mates found some time alone.
So it was not surprising that even her fool temper heir let the human youth come and go as he pleased!
To their all miracle, the little Kyoshi was the nicest child demon ever when the youth babysat him, if someone other tried this, the little pest lit the person most likely on fire!
But never the human, oh no!
Maybe Hiei was drawn to the yokai child because it was a mixed breed like him, maybe it was simply the silent wish from her heir to bind his mate more to himself with the child; she was not sure. What ever had driven the demon to bring the runt back with him from the slave ring he had destroyed that night, Mukuro was glad for it.
Since Hiei had his mate, he never tried to kill himself again. And since the child was here he was even friendly, kind of, to the world around him!
That alone was it worth to let the child stay, she thought.
Even if the baby yokai was a little pest, thanks to her heirs weird humour sometimes, to teach him all this nasty tricks!
Kurama had visited them here with lord Yomi for a few days in the autumn, only to find out that the child had filled his bed with nails!
Mukuro found out later that his daddy told Kyoshi something nasty about the poor Kitsune and the child had promptly done that.
Chuckling again the demon warlord went her mechanical eye back in the room and away from the little family outside.
A loudly plop right to her left and some curses of her two wards outside the doors, told the chuckling yokai that the little runt had strike again.
Yes, Mukuro thought, live could indeed be good sometimes.
Silently she made herself a mentally note to speak with Kazuma a few words before she would teach her heir a lesson.
And to give Kyoshi some sweets for sneaking up at her guards without to be caught!
Who said that Hiei was the only one in the castle that teaches the runt some interesting tricks?
Loudly the warlord told her guards only to change their clothes, because the old ones stung now.
