Chapter 5: The Realization.
Hiei shook Kurama violently, waking him in instant confusion. There was a sudden flash as Hiei shoved Kurama aside, each narrowly escaping the Ki blast that would have damaged them horribly. Kurama's eyes flared as he pulled out the Rose Whip and charged the mysterious assailant. Hiei in the mean time, was sent through the tree they were under and somewhere between 20 and 30 meters in the air. By the time Kurama finished off the youkai, he seen Hiei hit the ground not too far away. He rushed to help him, but Hiei passed out from pain before Kurama got there. Some of the tree branches cut Hiei as they landed in a random pattern around him. Hiei had also suffered from a deep head injury. Kurama dressed Hiei's wounds quickly. Kurama only needed the bandages to get the two to the portal. Kurama picked Hiei up and began to head for the portal to the Ningenkai. He knew that if he could get him to Yukina, Hiei could and would be healed. From the look of his wounds, it would take some time before Hiei would be awake, so Kurama moved as fast as he could through the forest, moving whatever plants were in his way with his Ki. He even reverted to his Youkai form to gain more speed...
Inside Hiei's mind...
"You four are going to die." The gruffly shaven man said as he raised his katana. One of the three women kept saying, "You have got to live Shinta, you must live. You just have to." Those words were engraved into the boys mind. Hiei could feel the clothes of the women around him as the two men slain the three of them, he felt... helpless. Then, Hiei seen a flash, as if someone had shined a light. The two men fell in a pool of their own blood. And then he whited-out, as if he were having memories. Hiei whited-out again. Then, Hiei seen something that he never thought he'd ever see. Hiei was in that city, standing there with a blood covered katana, looking at something that wasn't too far away. He was looking at Kurama, in his youkai form. Kurama has something tucked under his arm, but that wasn't the main vision, the main vision was of fallen comerades that had their bodys mangled by a Rose Whip. Hiei felt a rage like he wanted to kill Kurama at any cost, even if it took his own life. Hiei never felt that way about Kurama before, Kurama was his friend, but in this body, Hiei couldn't move or say anything. He felt the body move, into the Battojitsu stance, one of the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu techniques. Hiei ran through all the possible moves he could have done, and thought of the Sou-ryu-sen right as he felt himself beginning to move, and then, Hiei remembered what Kurama had said to him, "I watched him fight a Youkai, and totally annihilate it without a second thought." Hiei didn't realize that he was talking about himself. Before Hiei could think to stop himself, he watched in horror as Kurama was killed from the attack. He watched as the Battousai, no himself, put away his katana, and walk away without ever looking back. He truely annihilated him without a second thought.Then it went black again, this time the kid was older, and had a heartless air about him. He is slaying people as he sees them, using the least possible movement, and killing opponents instantaniously. Hiei could feel the grip of the katana in the boys hands, those slain all around him, one in particular, a man of the boys age left horrible cut on his face, it would never heal. Hiei tried to look around, but could only see infront of the boy, as if he were the boy. Then, as if in an instant, a girl came, and appeared to be running at Hiei, she had a dagger in her hand. Her intent was clear, she was after his life. Hiei could feel every emotion around him as he swiftly stabbed her through the chest. As she came down upon his blade, she sliced at him, barely catching his face. Her cut was exactly the opposite of the man's, making a cross shape on his face. Hiei couldn't control himself as he put away his blade, and said to himself with a voice that wasn't his that he would never kill again. Then, Hiei whited-out again. Hiei was all of a sudden, rushed with memories, ones of The Battousai, and ones as Kenshin Himura. All of them his. Then it clicked in Hiei's mind. "I am the Battousai..." Hiei thought before he fell into a dream-like state...
Meanwhile at Genkai's Temple...
Kurama stormed into the room, appologizing to Yuusuke and Kuwabara as he went to look for Yukina. When Genkai stopped him, he told her that Hiei was hurt really bad and he needed to find Yukina as quickly as he could. She told him that she was out in the garden, watering plants. Kurama hurried out to the garden and found Yukina there.
"Yukina-san, come quickly. Hiei is hurt really bad and needs you to heal him." he stammered out in haste. Yukina put away the watering can and followed Kurama to a back room where Hiei was laying on a bed. The gash in his head was bleeding profusely, even through the bandages that Kurama put on him from the Makai couldn't hold the blood back. Yukina began to heal him immedately, starting with the cut on his head. Hiei's body jerked as it started to heal. The two figured it was from the pain that the healing induced when it was applied to the head region. Kurama flinched as he watched Hiei in pain from the healing. It really wrenched at his heart. He liked Hiei for who he was. Kurama really didn't want to see this, but felt that he should for not being able to help him. After some time, Yukina moved to the smaller cuts on his body and arms. Hiei's face looked calm as she finished.
Inside Hiei's head...
The man stabbed Hiei, or Kenshin, in the shoulder. The wound was bleeding badly. Hiei remembered the mans name, it was Udo Jin-e, and the whole fight...
Hiei flung awake in the bed at Genkai's Temple screaming into Kurama's face before he could realize, "KAORU-DONO!!!!" Kurama jerked back in surprise.
"Hiei! Are you alright?" Kurama said with a shaky voice. Hiei put his hand to his head, feeling for the wound that should have been there, after feeling nothing, he looked around the room, after seeing Yukina, Hiei smiled a little, not realizing it until Kurama looked at him in utter amazement.
'Has Hiei gone insane' was the thought in Kurama's head as Hiei's expression vanished with his usual snap, "What?!" he said as he got up. Hiei walked outside, trying to make sense as to why Koenma never told him about himmself being The Battousai. 'Why the hell was I not told, that bastard infant should have told me...' he thought as he stared at the ground. Hiei went back inside, and got ready for a trip to Reikai Central...
Authors note: This is prolly one of my better chapters, I think. I wold appologize for the inconvience, but I like leaving you guys suspended. ^^% More next time.
