Chapter 7: Visitor From The Future

Flashback

When she opened the door, a little girl, no older than six or seven, stood on the other side.

"Um, can I help you."

The girl's violet eyes seemed to sparkle, and at the same time Jo was fixacted with those eyes.

'They look just like mine, how ironic.'

The girl began to slowly walk into the apartment, backing Jo into the room she was just in. The others watched this girl stalked Jo.

Finally, the girl pounced on Jo, knocking her into Hiei, which caused all three of them to fall. The girl clung onto Jo and Hiei like there was no tomorrow. Then the girl said something that sent everyone into a state of shock.

"Mommy! Daddy!"

End Flashback

"Listen kid, I am not your mother...so back off."

The little violet eyed girl got off her two "victims" and stood facing them on the verge of tears.

"But-but mommy, you have to remember me."

Jo noticed as tears threatened to go down the little girl's face.

'Oh geez, my weakness for children.'

Jo walked over to the child and picked her up in a motherly manner. The girl rested her head on Jo's shoulder.

"Mommy, are you mad?"

"Why would I be mad at you?"

"Because, you and daddy always told me to never do spells, but I was dared to come back here."

The others eyed Jo. A spell? That must mean that Jo is not just a half-demon, but a witch as well.

"Hmm...I'll get you home, don't worry about that. As for now, why don't you hang out with Hiei, I'm sure he wants to spend time with you."

The girl seemed to smile triumphantly.

"Okay mommy."

Jo put the girl down and as she did, it hit her.

"Um, honey, what is your name anyway, for future reference?"

"Duh mommy, it's Raven."

That name, it had always been Jo's favorite and it suited the girl well.

As Jo went to walk into the kitchen, she pulled Botan along with her.

"Jo, what's going on?"

"That is my kid in there and Hiei's as well, I could feel it. What I want from you is to keep an eye on her 'cause her power is HUGE."

"But why me? Why not Hiei?"

"I trust you, that's all you need to know, okay?"

Botan nodded and went back in the other room.

Jo sighed.

'Now...ugh...I need to write a spell.'

Back in the other room, Hiei stared at his would-be daughter.

'Hn, she doesn't even look like me.'

"Of course I do daddy, my hair is like yours, except yours is funnier."

Ah, so she was a telepath as well.

"Daddy, I know you never tell mommy you love her, but I feel it. You should tell mommy, she will feel better if you do."

Hiei blinked, he wouldn't do that to Jo, would he? He could tell her that he loved her, couldn't he?

"Hn."

Raven smiled at her father, knowing that he did in fact take her advice.

After that, there was no more conversation between father and daughter in fear of messing up the future, Raven's idea.

About five hours passed before the others got worried about Jo and that damned spell, what was taking her so long? So Raven snuck away for a minute to check up on her mother.

"Mommy?"

Jo seemed to have fallen asleep, so Raven walked over to the sleeping Jo and nudged her awake.

"Hmm?"

"Mommy, do you have my spell?"

Jo suddenly jerked up.

'Shit, the spell?'

When Jo looked at the pad of paper in front of her, there was in fact a spell already written, but it wasn't in her handwriting, but someone elses, someone very familiar.

"Yeah, I've got the spell. You ready to go back...forward...you know what I mean."

The girl smiled and pulled Jo back into the living room where the others were waiting.

Jo glanced over at Hiei who was sitting by the window and looked like he was sleeping.

"Okay then, you ready Rae?"

The little violet eyed girl nodded.

(A/N: This is not a spell from Charmed, this is an original by me, so no one can sue, HEHE.)

"Open the chains of time and space,

Set the prtal to another place.

Take the power from the rhyme,

Send my daughter to her rightful time."

And in a flash of purple light, Raven was gone, but her presence still stayed with the others.

A slight buzzing sound started to go through everyone's mind and no one knew what it was or where it was coming from.

As everyone turned to look over by the front window and rush of energy pushed its way into the apartment sending everyone across the room. Wind started picking up as if someone was making an entrance and that's just what happened.

Whatever it was, it didn't have a form, but was there.

"It's time we take back the halfling."

The shadows gathered around the unconcious Jo. Yusuke and Hiei, being the only concious ones, watched as the creature, whatever it was, took Jo away.

Yep, you can shoot me now. GAH, so much stuff going on, so little time.

Yeah, I'm doing alot lately and I'm going to try my best to squeeze this in between babysitting and cleaning. Plus I'm making a birthday present for a friend of mine so I can send it out before the 20th, so she gets it in time...yes I'm talking about you Miranda. I don't know anyone else with a July birthday, so you're special and get mentioned...I need an asprin or something 'cause I am indeed sick AGAIN. Oh well, I'll just suffer like I always do, HEHE.

I don't think there's anything else I need to mention, so until the next chapter, I'm out.
