~*~ Chapter 9: The secret ~*~
"What's gotten into him?" Kenshin asked, looking confused. Everyone else shook their heads, except Yusuke, who knew perfectly well what was going on. He just couldn't tell if he wanted to live.
Hiei moved over beside Kila and looked down at her. A small smile lit his face as he watched her sleep. She smiled in her sleep, looking really happy and angelic like that. Hiei sighed. 'If only she wasn't tainted, like her brother. If only she was fully trainer, or fully bishie. But, no!, she just had to be half of each. I feel sorry for her. The longer she stays here, the more her bishie side is going to bother her. If she leaves, though, then she will never get a chance to stay here.......with me. *Sigh*' Hiei thought to himself. Little did he know, but Kila was awake and was feeling strange emotions that were not hers or her brother's: guilt, sorrow, fear, and anger.
She opened her eyes and looked right into Hiei's ruby ones. "Hello, Hiei," She said weakly, trying to get up. He pushed her back down. "Hiei? What's up?"
He didn't look at her, just turned away. "Hn. Baka on'na. You're hurt. You don't want to push yourself when you're in this condition."
A vein popped out on Kila's head. "Are you, by any chance, saying that I'm weak, Hiei??" She asked, danger glinting in her eyes. Hiei nodded and she sprang out of bed, lunged at Hiei, missed, and nearly fell over on the floor.
Yusuke burst into the room and saw that Kila was, apparently, trying to kill Hiei. He walked over and saved Hiei by picking up Kila and dumping her in the bed.
"Have you told her yet, Hiei?" Yusuke asked, turning to Hiei. He looked away and Yusuke chuckled. "I'll take that as a 'no.' But why not? There's nothing to lose, I mean, I'm sure she'll be fine knowing that little fact. Come on, Hiei. Or do you want me to tell her?" Yusuke mocked, grinning.
Hiei turned a furious glare to Yusuke. "You keep everyone else out of the room for as long as possible, or until I say otherwise, and I'll tell her. Now go keep everyone out. Now, Detective," Hiei said as Yusuke hesitated. Yusuke left and Kila sat up, wondering what the h*ll was going on.
Hiei sat down next to Kila and put his hand on hers. He met with her amazed eyes. "Listen, on'na........I have something that I have to tell you. But you have to promise not to tell anyone else without my permission, alright?" Kila nodded and Hiei continued. "Well....You know how you are a half-bishie, right?"
"Yeah, I do. What the h*ll does that have to do with anything at all?" Kila asked, starting to get ticked off.
Hiei glanced at the door, then leaned forward and whispered into Kila's ear, "Aishiteru, Imoto." He then kissed her on the forehead and smiled at her.
Kila was shocked. 'Hiei is my older brother?!?! What the? How did that happen?! I'm confused!' "Hiei, what are you talking about?" Kila asked, shaking slightly.
"Well, you have two older brothers. More precisely, two older half- brothers. I am one of them and the other one is the one you fought today. We had the same father, Imoto. You and that pathetic excuse of a brother," Hiei spat out the word "brother" ,"had the same mother. You hare half Hiei bishie and your other brother is half Raistlin bishie."
Kila nodded, then smiled. "Aishiteru, Niisan." Hiei smiled at her again.
At that moment, Yusuke burst into the room and grinned. "Sorry, but I can't keep them out any longer. You'll just have to live with that."
Narina, Sarana, Jade, and Maria all rushed into the room after Yusuke had moved, and by that time, Kila and Hiei had moved apart.
"Kila! Are you okay??" Narina asked, really worried about her friend.
"Yes, Narina, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me so much. I'll be able to travel again in a day or two. Then, we can go catch more bishies!" Kila said, putting on a smile.
Kenshin, who had just come in, looked at Kila closely. "You might think that you will be able to travel, but you might as well have someone carry you half the time. You are not really in any condition to take long journeys right now, Miss Kila."
Kila frowned slightly. "I thought we agreed that you'd drop the Miss in front of my name, Kenshin," Kila said, looking Kenshin in the eye and avoiding the other comment.
Kenshin backed away nervously as Kila got out of bed. Kila then noticed that she was wearing the same clothes as the ones she had had on and that they were slightly stained with blood.
"Alright, everyone get out of my room.....NOW!!" Kila said as she picked up her katana and advanced on the group. They all ran out, except Hiei, who watched with amused eyes.
Hiei jumped off the windowsill and walked over to Kila, wrapping his arms around her. He just stood there, comforting his younger sister while she leaned against him.
"Alright, Hiei. I'm fine now. Thanks," Kila said as she picked up some clothes to wear after her shower. "If anyone wants me, I'll be taking a shower," She called over her shoulder.
After taking a shower, Kila decided to get some dinner. She found everyone in the living room, playing cards or looking out the windows. As soon as she stepped in, every eye in the room snapped to her.
Kila looked around nervously, then sat down in a chair in one of the darker corners of the room. She was almost invisible there, because of her dark clothes that she was wearing. Everyone hurriedly went to what they were doing before.
Yusuke walked over to Kila and whispered, "Did he tell you, Kila?"
Kila nodded. "I have two brothers. Right. He did, if that's what you're talking about. Don't tell anyone. If you do, I swear, I WILL kill you." Yusuke nodded and backed off.
Kila went to sleep soon after, Rei going with her and everyone else following soon after. Hiei stayed on the windowsill to her room all night. Luckily, Kila had her own room, so no-one knew, except Rei, who didn't bring up the subject.
In the morning, Hiei went over and woke up Kila. "Come on, we have to meet Yusuke," was all he said as he dragged her into the living room.
"Okay, what the h*ll is going on here?" Kila asked angrily.
Hiei looked at Yusuke. "Well, Hiei wants you to catch him so that it won't b suspicious that he is with you all the time. That's all," Yusuke said, looking uninterested.
"What?! I can't catch him! He's...well, you know. I just can't!" Kila said, looking rather amused, yet still petrified at the thought of catching her own brother.
"I though this might be a problem," Yusuke said. He grabbed one of Kila's bishie-balls and tapped Hiei on the head with it. Hiei was sucked inside it and Yusuke handed the ball back to Kila.
Kila opened the ball and Hiei came out again, looking a little annoyed, but that was it. She glared at Yusuke and Hiei before going back into her room to take a shower.
By the time the others were up, Kila had taken a shower, brushed her hair, and had gotten Rei to put it in a braid for her. They were soon on their way again after breakfast.
Suddenly, a girl of about 16 walked past them in a hurry and accidentally bumped into Kila.
"Sorry," The girl said. "I'm really sorry about bumping into you, kid, but I haveta go now. Maybe I'll see you around!" The girl was about to leave, but Kila caught her long-sleeved, green shirt and held on. Now that she got a good look, the girl had waist long, unruly dark-brown hair. She also had green eyes that had purple flecks in them. She was about 5'1" and had dark, forest green pants on as well.
"Wait a moment!" Kila said. "Who are you and why are you in such a hurry?"
"My name is Yukino Yakudatsu, Yuko for short, and I'm running from my Koga!" The girl said, looking around nervously. "I accidentally pushed him into a lake and now he's trying to kill me!"
Yusuke, Kila, Yahiko, and Jade all burst out laughing. Hiei chuckled with Maria and Sarana while Narina was covering her mouth. Kenshin merely smiled.
"Oh, come on! It's not funny, you guys!" Yuko yelled, looking agitated.
"Sorry Yuko, it just sounded funny the way you said it!" Kila said, still laughing a little bit. "So, why are you running from Koga? I would face him head-on. Much easier that way."
Suddenly, Yuko seemed to change a little bit. Her personality, at least. "Well, it happened to be easier to run at the time. But, now that you mention it, fighting does seem better. Besides, I can always open his bishie-ball and then he'll regret attacking me!" Yuko grinned evilly, along with Kila.
Rei started backing away. "Uhhhh....guys? You might want to back away. I know that evil look, and that means trouble." Everyone else agreed and Hiei jumped into a tree not too far away from Kila's head.
Koga came up and looked at the two girls: One of them was his trainer and the other one was glowing very slightly with a purple/black aura. He decided not to mess with that one. Yuko he could deal with later.
Yuko and Kila waited for the attack that never came. They both looked at Koga to see that he was leaning on a tree, watching Kila.
The others deemed it safe to come out and walked out from their hiding places to see Kila and Koga glaring at each other. Just when Rei was about to suggest that they go get lunch, there was a loud explosion from the trees up ahead of them. Without a word, Kila raced off to find the source, everyone else trailing behind her. Hiei caught up with her easily and the two ran to the source.
What they saw made Hiei's eyes widen and Kila gasp. The trees on both sides of the forest were burned and there was one boy standing in the middle of it all. Kila ran up to him as he was about to blast again and.........

Wow. This took me a while to type because I kept being interrupted. Well, in case anyone was wondering, here are the Japanese translations: Baka = fool, idiot, stupid.
On'na = woman, girl.
Imoto = Younger sister
Niisan = older brother
Well, there you go. Please review and anyone who wants to be in the story is welcome! Just leave me a review or an e-mail!
