Affection
Hiei held her tight to him. Protectively as his demonic instincts kicked in.
He would not let Hellfury harm her.
He reached the empty room that was now, since Kuroneko had taken to sleeping in Kurama's room, was occupied by only the small Koorime in his arms.
He flitted into the bathroom and turned the fauset on, the small frail figure still held tight to him. He felt her squirm with uneasy as in her mind a sinister voice told her to claw at the strong shoulder she rested her head on. To rip the neck beside her with her fangs until he no longer move, not a breath left in his body. To snarl and snap and struggle. To punch and bite and claw and kick.
But she wouldn't...
Because she remembered now.
Ten Years Before
Ryuichi hit the door with a sickening crack as Ryukiba snarled at him.
"S-sister? Whats wrong!" He asked as Ryukiba grabbed her head and tried to back away, thrashing clawing wildly at an unknown attacker as she whimpered.
"Please no... make it stop...Please...stop...don't..."
Ryuichi stood, crying out as his broken leg sent a torrent of pain through his body.
Inutsume ran in, eyes frozen on the small girl he loved as cuts appeared from the inside of her skin out. She opened her eyes, her once miss-matched eyes...
And he saw both had turned black.
The girl's body began to change, midnight colored flames leapt around her as she laughed a cold, mirthless laugh.
It was not the laugh of Ryuko, his teal haired Koorime.
The alien figure ran at Ryuichi, swords raised in a killing stroke but Inutsume got in the way. The sword pierced the dog-demons lung and he yelled.
The the taste of blood met her lips as she sank elongated fangs into her twins neck, clawing at his chest, trying to rip into his heart.
But..This wasn't Ryuko...
This was Hellfury...
I remember tasting his blood.
I remember wanting to stop as I betrayed him, after I swore to protect him I lied...And Inutsume, I'm so sorry. I love you...But I see you... Your blood and an alien feeling runs over me as I lung forward and slash at you once more...
Dear god, help me...
Ryukiba's eyes snapped open as Hiei's Japan stopped glowing.
Ryukiba's eyes fell to the white bath tub before her as she hugged her knees, naked in the water as Hiei tied the bandanna over his jagan once more.
"Ryukiba?"
She did not answer, a hollow sensation crept over her and he kneeled beside the tub and smeared a bluish paste over the wound.
She didn't mind..it wouldn't matter. Soon Hellfury would heal her..He loved her. He cared. He-
"Ryukiba. He doesn't love you."
She remained silent, knowing the Imiko was right as he waited a few moments before lifting Ryukiba up from under her arms and wrapping a towel over her.
She looked empty, like a rag doll without a soul or a mind of its own.
"I'm going to make him leave you alone."
"No!" Ryukiba spoke for the first time since he had invaded her mind.
"He loves me! He wont let you! I hate you! He'll kill you-"
She was cut off as Hiei pulled her into a silencing kiss.
...she had never been kissed before...
Trying to struggle away it took her a few moments before he released her, smiling like she was a naive child.
A small whimper escaped her as Flaym held Hellfury trapped an a cave in the forest, balled up like a serpent to block the exit as he snarled and snapped at her.
But male dragons do not attack female dragons.
"Did you like that?" Hiei asked as she held the towel closer to herself, looking at her feet before Hiei puts his rough, sword callused hands on hers and put them around his neck.
He put his arms around the small of her back to, kissing her and pulling her into a deeper kiss. She, after alittle coaxing, pulled against his neck and stood on her tip-toes as well.
In the forest Hellfury shrieked in anger, not for his yasha but, because she had given herself to Hiei willingly...
It would be Hiei's child that would gain the energy he had meant for HIS Heir.
Hiei felt his sleeping yasha move beneath him as his lips rested on the bottom of her neck.
He nipped her in feral affection before standing, covering her with his cloak, then the blankets as he pulled his clothes on once more and walked outside.
"Yeah. That's why Inutsume and I are so weak and scarred." Ryuichi spoke first, breaking the dim silence that had encased them all when Hiei had finished speaking.
"Yeah. See...She wasn't really Ryuko either. But we don't know what her real name is." Inutsume said, before Kuroneko spoke.
"I-It was that damn dragon! She always hated it but afterwards..she was so different after she consumed it. We should've known."
"We did know..we just didn't believe it." Rusty spoke before almost jumping as a dragon slid through the glass like a fiery python.
"Its ok." Hiei spoke as he held out his arm for Flaym, who curled around it before sinking into his skin.
Meanwhile, a dragon of the darkness flame knocked on the door of Team Dragon Dancer. The last team that team Spirit Detective would need to beat to win.
And Hellfury grinned as the team accepted him in as a replacement for one of their fallen comrades.
In her slumber Ryukiba remembered.
Yukishika was my name,
Before the dragon came to claim.
As its master it brought me fame,
And Ryuko, daughter of dragon I became.
He called me lover and as that we became,
Hellfury and I all the same,
And then his fang I became...
And Ryukiba was my name.
But as Hiei sat beside her, running rough fingers though her dyed midnight hair it came to him.
The dragon had given power to the unborn child already...
Just as he had done...
"So is it my child? or the dragons? or..."
"Or is it both?"
REVIEW! oh, and I decided no Lemon..and...A CONTEST!
Ok, your votes decided! Is the child Hiei's, the dragons, or BOTH? Your choices decide EVERYTHING so in EVERY review I get I want to see a vote! Oh, and also vote if it should be a daughter or a son. VOTE NOW!
And in the famous words of Ryukiba,
"Grr..."
"Rawr!"
