As I stared into the starry night, I slowly fell asleep and wondered what was really going to happen in the next coming days. I sat there and waited until I felt the world come away from me as if entering a trance state while staring at the stars. The stars seemed to grow closer to me, the world seemed to fall away until it came that it felt like I was in the heavens staring at the earth from the moon. I felt someone coming close to me, the aura seemed so familiar to me, but different at the same time. I knew who ever it was would not bring danger to me, but are here to help me in some way. I sat there unsure of what to do, as a fog came in quickly. I kept my guard up unsure of what may happen if I did not. I watched as a figure slowly emerged from the fog, and came towards me. It was a man that appeared to be about 50 years old, but I could tell that he was much older than what he appeared. I stayed on my guard unsure of what would happen in the next few moments.
"Welcome, my child." He said as he came and stood before me.
"Who are you?" I ask uncertain of who he was.
"I am your great great great grandfather, Aidan. I have seen all that has happened to our family in the years that have passed. I do not wish to keep you long. I know that as you are below you are going to be in danger of being destroyed. Legend told of your coming child."
"What legend, and if you knew what was going to happen why didn't you stop it?" I burst out wanting to know answers.
"Child, calm down. I couldn't do anything to stop it from happening it had to happen. You will be the one to become one of the greatest and most powerful demons of all times. Driven by needs greater than that of your own, by the will to keep your family. There is much more to say child, but there is no time, someone approaches, and before I go child here is a gift for you. It is the ability to read minds, dear one. You will need it in coming trials and to find your mate for he will seem distant from you and at the same time he will feel drawn towards you child. Do not be fooled, remember follow your heart like your parents taught you and you will succeed in completing your destiny..."
That was all he said before I felt a hand on me and I turned and grabbed the wrist and twisted it around and turned and faced the person almost falling out of the tree. When I felt the other arm wrap around my waist and I looked into a pair of crimson eyes that seemed to hide so many secrets. I stood there unwilling to move away from him, unwilling to tell him to let me go. I felt as though I could spend a lifetime trying to figure out the secrets hidden in those eyes.
"Hn. You should be careful you know." His voice pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Why should you care? All I am to you is another assignment, but unlike the others I have a reason to live and to fight. Can you say the same about your other assignments?" I asked full of emotion.
He turned his head to look up at the stars, still holding me. At this point in time nothing seemed as though it could go wrong. I know however, I needed to get back for if I didn't something terrible could possibly happen. I gave the man next to me a kiss on the cheek figuring that would surprise him enough to let me go. Which he did, I fell out of the tree branch and did a back flip in the air and landed gracefully on my feet. Then taking off at a dead sprint towards the portal. I ran not looking back knowing that he would follow me to figure out what that was. I reached the portal just as he got close enough to me and I turned and looked back, gave him a smile and winked and jumped into the portal. I landed in my office, the young man right behind me.
I looked around the
office something wasn't right. The young man stood there as if he
didn't sense
anything, but he watched intently as I walked around the room,
looking for what was missing,
or what was changed. There was a scent here I did not recognize, as
well with books misplaced
it was as though they were looking for something and could not find
it. I went to the
ladder
for the book case and moved it over by the large window in the office
that the moon was pouring
through. I reached up and found the latch, and unhooked it. I moved
the ladder back out of
the way and grabbed the end of the bookcase. The young man only
looked at me strangely, and
I didn't care. I swung open the hidden room, the room where my
family was not capable to get
to when the attack took place and were slaughtered unmercifully. I
knew what lied behind these
doors, it was the tomb of inu-tai youkai that came before, and the
held all the sacred weapons
of the family, along with the legend, prophecies that were to be
fulfilled by our family. Koenma
did not have knowledge of these, for if he did, my family would have
been in greater peril
than it was now. I walked along the empty pathways to the Room of
Records, which held the
legends and prophesies. I opened the door and screamed.
Hiei's POV
After Botan almost ran Rei over she seemed to have disappeared from the office. I turned to Koenma for orders on what the team and I were supposed to do. I just stood there silently, listening to Botan go on about how Rei's family's time was not supposed to have been so soon, and that someone is trying to complicate things, the souls couldn't even be found which was odd.
I looked out the window and began to wonder if the whole murder was fake and if the bodies were not that of Rei's family, but dummies that were put there and the blood fake, to make here believe that.
"Hiei, you must find Rei, and watch over her. Something is not right with this situation. Keep a close eye on her at all cost. I'll see if I can find anything about her family line that will tell us anything. If I am correct a lot of destinies and prophesies of that family led to great things. It is just we need to know what is happening. Let the others follow the previous orders given to them for after my meeting with Rei. I know when the time is right she will tell me what I need to know, but for now don't push her to try and open up to you guys, because she won't. She is much like you in many ways, the main difference is that she will not fight her emotions, she embraces them and they empower her more than you would believe."
"Hn," is all I
say. I walk out of the office and track down the onna, since she
seemed to have disappeared.
I followed her energy that seemed or felt like it was growing more
and more. I ran through
the forest, sensing another energy near her, unsure of what was going
on. The energy levels
were staying steady at this point in time. I reached the location
and stood there in the
shadows,
she was surrounded in a silver light and she seemed to have grown
wings. I stood there,
slightly in awe of her. When the light disappeared she was back to
her normal self. I jumped
on the branch and scared her, because I caught her before she fell
out of the tree.
"Hn. You should be careful you know." I said cooly watching her carefully.
"Why should you
care? All I am to you is another assignment, but unlike the others I
have a reason
to live and to fight. Can you say the same about your other
assignments?" She asked full of
emotion. Then she kissed me and out of shock I let her go. She fell
from the tree, and I watched
her as she gracefully landed on her feet and took off. I took off
after her. I reached her
and
before I could catch her she disappeared into a portal, I followed
her through it unsure of what
kind of danger may wait for her on the other side, even though it
would serve her right for taking
off like she did. I walked through and I landed in the office were
here uncle had us questioning
us.
I watched her carefully. As she walked through the room looking at everything carefully as if sensing something I did not. I stood there while she stood on the ladder at the book shelf and was amazed to see a hidden door behind one of the cases. I did not follow her through the door until I heard her scream and then I ran in there and seen her faint. I looked up and there was to my surprise on the back wall written in blood were the words "You must fulfill your destiny or your family will die" and the scroll that seemed to contain the prophecy was set out and had hand in blood on it. I gathered it up and knew I must head back and talk to Koenma after I laid her down in her bed, but I had no clue where that was. So I took her to the room she gave me and placed her in the bed and sat in the window for a little while and I watched her sleep until I jumped out to speak with Koenma.
Normal POV
I woke up startled knowing that I was in a bed but not sure where. I looked around and seen that I was in the room I had given to Hiei. Then everything came back to me in a rush. I started crying. I ran out of Hiei's room and ran to my wing of the mansion did not wish for anyone to see me. I knew uncle would be there when he seen that I was not at breakfast, but I did not care.
I ran and ran and ran. Until I reached my room and startled my maid, who looked worried that I had not returned at all last night. I asked her through my tears to run me a bath please. I sat there in the bath having thoughts run through my mind. Many thoughts that I did not know what to think. I gathered the last of my thoughts and quit crying and climbed out of the bath. I got dressed in my training outfits and walked out of my dressing room and found my uncle in my room. I could tell by the look on his face he smelled the tears and wanted to know what happened.
"I don't want to talk about it right now, uncle." I say turning and looking him in the eyes. And I gathered my katana he had given me for my birthday to practice with and the bow and arrows, Aunt Kagome gave me, and the dagger Uncle Inuyasha gave me. "Uncle let's go and train. I must make sure the others are up and are ready to train." I walk out of the room and leave knowing he and I would talk about this later on tonight.
I went to the rooms and seen that the two humans were still asleep and I went in to each of their rooms and dumped freezing water on them. And left them in the room shivering after telling them to get ready for training. I walked into Kurama's room and saw him there reading one of the plant books that were in the room and watched as he inspected the plants that were in the room. He looked up at me and smiled when he realized I was there watching him.
"Get ready we start training soon, as the two slow pokes next to you get up." I say turning and walking away.
"Please wait, may I ask how do you know Koenema?" He asked curiously.
"That is a story to tell and I'll tell you after training, because my uncle does not like to be left waiting so please tell your two companions to hurry up." I say as I turned and walked away without saying another word. I walked down to Hiei's room to see if he was back and I opened the door and peaked in. I opened my mind to see if I could sense his aura and it was nowhere to be found. So I left the room and found all the others in the hallway and I nodded for them to follow me.
