Finally I got my ass into gear and now here's chapter six! Hiei darling would you do the disclaimer for me!
Hiei snorts and sits in the shadows.
Sori waves fist in his face and threatens to take soul and put it in a plushy and keep voice in a jar twitch
Hiei mumbles "Stupid onna…She doesn't own me and the others so don't think about stealing anything b/c it don't belong to anyone anyway!"
Sori glares "Anyway yeah I don't own Yu Yu or Inu Yasha and this time if fluff stuff with Kagome and Hiei! Now on with the chappie! o
Ch 6 Pillow FightsAfter finding the weapons she was dragged to this swamp place, it was all green and woodsy looking except for the fact that there were underground springs, swamp algae, and other things. The sky was blue and full of fluffy clouds when her training began, the ground was very soft and supple the slightest movement of the feet would make one slip but she wasn't on her feet oh no she was doing a handstand on a needle, with her finger on the needle, and the bottom of the needle itself was standing without support on the soft swamp land. If a wind should blow and she fall off, then it was to be done again for a full day, she sweat dropped is this what Ysuske went through? As if reading her mind Genkai hobble over to see how she was doing.
"Ysuske did the same thing as you but you are a better student anyway. No grumbling nor fussing which is very pleasant to these old ears." The old woman smiled going back to her spot on the regular grass, watching her sustain that position for quite a long time and this would be her first day out, even the dummy didn't last this long and makes one wonder why she wants to be trained and why her mother had asked for it? With a silent sigh she blew on her tea and drank it.
Leaves blew around the tree in which Genkai had sat in front of and where Hiei found a good spot to see this girl get defeated and run home crying for mommy. But she was on her first day and doing much better then even Ysuske did, it was a shock to the system yet again even that damned rusted sword looked to of been worthless when she wielded it. Once the training was over he stood watch over the girl as she said some things to Genkai.
"Tonight I will change for ever…" she smiled at the old lady who had seemed just as her supposed mother.
"I see tonight is your birthday is it not?" Her auburn eyes bore into blue ones with an intensity searching for something and seeing she was scared.
"Tonight under the full moon is when my change begins…. what if I become a beast like Inu Yasha then what?" her eyes became glassy and out of focus, they seemed to be holding back tears of pain. A light sound of pitter pattering paws hitting the ground caught her attention as Kirara ran to, then did a front flip onto the girls shoulder wiping away the tears that threatened to roll down her cheek with the two tails.
"You must expect a change to happen, I believe you will stay good because you are pure and wield the greatest weapon none of these boy's have ever seen. I'm not talking about the jewel around your neck either…until you know that power you will be forced to hold back all you have strived for, to beat your once known friend Inu Yasha…." With that the old woman turned around and walked back to the temple, with a teacup in hand.
"Kiara do you think I can do this without the help of Sango, Miroku, and Shippou?" she looked down to the neko in her arms and it mewled snuggled into her chest.
"I thought so…" giggling she put the cat down as it gave her a stare of why she put her down in the first place. The sky's light hues and dark hues battled for the dominance, but the dark colors flourished like a freshly opened flower and the swamp became a dark green color in the shades of some of the tall deciduous trees at the edge. Walking into the middle of the swamp she wondered Genkai told me Ysuske fought a demon named Rondo here, I wonder how he defeated him? Many thoughts were running through her head till the full moon cast its full glow on her. Its light made her face heavenly with glowing pale white skin and cherry lips parted to take in what was truly something to call her own now, no more lies, no more death, and no more being called some one she's really not! It was like a breath of fresh air her hair got longer down past her knee's to back ankle with highlights of dark blue and purple, her eyes didn't change color that much but had gotten silver and dark blue specks in that would hold anyone captivated. Her body changed as well from a teenager to that of a grown woman, she got more a curvier hourglass figure and longer legs, as fangs grew in her mouth the pain only lasted for a few seconds before she ran her tongue over the newly acquired weapons. Her body was now complete but wasn't she supposed to control fire or ice or something? She grinned evilly impicturing Inu Yasha burning on a stake and a small flicker of something on her arm caught her eye but disappeared. At least she felt like she was still good in a since, now that she was a Forbidden Child the next step was to use the new powers to help her become stronger and maybe Kirara can become stronger as well. Looking down at her cloths they were torn a bit, a rip here and a small tare near the breast regain, blushing she ran to the temple with Kirara following suit as the small neko always had done with her Mistress Sango.
Hiei saw it all from his pertch; the girl had changed and in fact became a Forbidden Child as he had. No wonder he protected her she was just as he, another accident from Makai most likely the laws of nature never seemed to stay the same once you become something different and all around you become fixated some times and other times you get shunned for what you really and truly are. He has felt this way for all his life, being shunned by those who don't understand the pains of being different, of almost having something but not really achieving the goal of getting it. So close to his sister but he can't tell her yet, it would break her heart to know he was a murdering demon who cared none for the ningen lives and the life of that new girl, but some where inside his being he knew he had protected the girl for some other reason. He felt the tingling of something warm creep over his body when he though of Kagome, no more were the black shadows consuming him when she was around smiling, laughing and being herself, more to the point he was impressed on how she could fight even in a injured state. Shaking his head he cleared the thoughts from mind I don't like the new onna and she doesn't like me… how could anyone like a forbidden child except for another one but that's not the point! He killed so many in his past and now in the future he is paying for it ten fold. He took off racing towards his sleeping tree, once there he sat in its branches enjoying the peacefulness of the night when the onna started talking to that strange cat.
"Kirara how did I lose them all? Was I so blind as to believe Inu Yasha loved me?" tears flew down her cheeks as if seeking a river of some sort, fresh tears ran down the tracks of the old, her eyes now puffy and red, cheeks swollen and red as well. She hugged the neko tightly in her arms crying into the fur fiercely, she pulled back starting to talk again.
"It dose me no good to cry for him, he's now a pawn in Naraku's plot to steal the jewel from me. Oh Kirara his eyes…they were so lifeless, so empty my heart cried for him so many times." She sighed seemingly downed and depressed for the moment until the mood changed to one of happiness.
"Well at least I have new friends, and Hiei is kinda cute." Without a second thought she blew the candle out in the room, all thoughts of Inu Yasha were gone now and replaced with other things to come.
Hiei probed her mind with the Jagan, but was blocked out by a barrier around her mind. Damnit! He wouldn't admit it openly but she was strong for a ningen, no wait ningen no more but now a Forbidden Child. He sighed in frustration for the first time in his life, how could a simple girl do this to him? How could she make him be like this and act a different way!? Was she a witch? No, no a witch wouldn't be able to have that necklace around the neck for it was the fabled Shikon No Tama, the accursed jewel of four souls. Its protector had to be pure and she was proof enough of it, sure she is a Forbidden child now but will she regret being one as he did or try to cope with the fact she has changed for the good and better. He had no regrets, none not even through the painful process of getting the jagen. In the pit of his stomach something lurked, it neither seemed he had one thing he didn't want to do nor ever wanted to do.
You think too much, you have to tell her who you are and what she means to you.. A mysterious voice came from out of nowhere in his head.
Who are you and what do you want? Or do I have to find you and kill you! The voice in his head laughed to some degree.
How can one be killed if one is already dead? This confused him greatly as he settled down on the branch watching Kagome's chest rise and fall.Who are you and what do you want? It was a question of if this dead person wanted him to be with the onna or if this dead person wanted him dead.
You are now her chosen protector, a new ally and friend to be added onto a family of mass proportions. It was I who chose you though, later on you will see why… the voice in his head diminished, going away completely all this talk usually made him mad but suddenly he felt the need for sleep. It was a rarity that he would need sleep but from all the chaos and now this voice talking in his head it was all very tiring indeed.
A new day came to, light filtered into the room with a sleeping girls arm wrapped around a small furry body and the animal itself mewling with contentment. Hiei had woken up earlier and watched the girl sleep, for reasons unknown he climbed out of the tree and sat in the shadows of her room here he felt more comfortable. Her scent calmed him, as crimson eyes warily watched her chest rise and fall. Why does she do this to me so? Why me at all? He kept saying the same things to himself over and over. Sure he was a friend to Ysuske and the pretty boy Kurama, but to that offy blockhead Kuwabara, oh he would get a reckoning of mass proportions. He would make the boy suffer for touching his sister as a growl recoiled out of his mouth, the girl said something in her sleep and he listened more carefully. She turned in her sleep before popping up in bed.
"No!!!!" eyes wide with shock she broke down and cried her heart out, the neko woke up pawing her arm in comfort.
"I only have you left Kirara, not even my mother was my real mother…" she blinked a few times to clear the tears. He calmly said that one word that gets under the skin that so annoys people its just scary.
"Hn" that announced his presence for the time being. The onna looked in his direction, the shadows disappeared and he stood there with back against the stonewall of the temple.
"Yes Hiei might I help you?" she faked a smile, but he didn't buy it.
Kagome sat up in the bed screaming and then out of nowhere pops Hiei into her room, she knew he cared just a bit of her safety. Even the Hn's said he liked her in some odd way. She could see him in the dark corner as the darkness melted away and the sun shown through, she patted the side of her bed for him take a seat but he stood reluctant to sit. She smirked evilly as she set a foot out of bed, and went over to him still in yesterday's cloths.
"Onna you stink" he smirked earning himself a growl of anger as he got chased around the room only to land on his back by bumping into the closed door that was suppose to remain open. As she fell on his chest hard, he made an oaf sound and she snickered, knowing this was the right time to warp her arms around his neck and pretend she was going to kiss him. They were in the midst of doing this when the door opened and non-other then Ysuske stood there with a surprised look on his face.
"Well, well Hiei looks like you've been doing more then kissing!" he doubled over in laughter and could soon be seen with bouts of laughter on the cold temple floor rolling around in a dog kind of manner. Both of them blushed pushing apart, and then the pillow came down on Ysuske's face.
"Out of my room! Out out!" she used the pillow smacking Ysuske on the head and stomach, as soon as he left she shut the door and glared at Hiei still on the floor. She smacked the pillowcase on her hand.
"Hiei you got some explaining to do!" with a fast swipe to the left Hiei dodged to the right, but his back was un guarded as the neko joined in pouncing on his head. He through the cat aside with a grin, dodging more of the pillowcase attacks and sweeping the onna up in his arms.
"And what is it I have to explain to you?" he stopped in the middle of the torn up room and got in her face, very close to her face like nose to nose close. She gulped but stood her ground glaring at him.
"You tried to get into my mind, why?" vivid blue eyes met charming red ones, which made both, blush but her more then him.
"I don't have to explain anything to you onna…" he then became like his old self, dropping her to the ground, but not before she bonked him on the head with the pillowcase.
"Next time I catch you in my head, I will purify your ass so you don't have one!" she shook her fist at him and he chuckled turning to go out of the room and find a place to sulk for awhile and left her in the messed up room with feathers, some books scattered and a desk turned on it side. She sighed taking up the things and cleaning up before she went to go ask if they had any hotsprings around here. With a grunt of displeasure she took up her bathing supplies, Kirara was to come with her when she went to the hotsprings just as she followed every where she went. The neko made herself known when she wanted to and followed behind Kagome with a little basket in mouth, which had some soap, and a towel in it.
"Your so eager to help Kirara." She giggled and knew Hiei was watching her but at the moment she didn't care or did she?
Hiei get out of my mind, didn't I tell you I would get for being in here? She sent him a mental image of him being assless for the rest of his life. He chuckled in her mind seeing she would propply do that.
Don't think so Onna, unless you can get past my sword and Jagan eye you've been beat to a bloody pulp. He could feel her anger really easily, she smirked though and walked away trying to find the hot springs, was it that hard to be nice to people around here? Guess I have another Inu Yasha and what luck I have some prayer bead still! She chuckled to herself.
An equally evil chuckle issued from Hiei, he followed her around the temple masking his energy so he could see what she was doing and going. Even through the pillowcase wars they just had he wasn't still sure he could trust her. Sure he let his defenses down to a some what degree but he still tried to probe her mind and again he was denied entrance by a stronger barrier. He smirked knowing she would find the hot spring one way or another so with demon speed, he ran through the forest to the women's hot springs and waited for Kagome to get there so he could try and probe her mind while she's in a laxed and comatose state. It was a perfect plan; he smiled in the shadows of a tree, hearing her coming down the path that led to here. Once she stripped down and got in the hot water her mind was at ease or so he thought, her mind was in fact not.
Inu Yasha how could you betray me, I gave all I had to you. Tears pricked at her eyes again he saw and wanted to rush in to kiss them away. That's exactly the opposite eh wanted to do, his heart ached to have another to love, hell Yoko could love both sexes but he couldn't. Jumping down quietly from his perch he striped down with only his black pants on and got in next to her, she blinked a few minutes and turned around to see him there and her face turned a beat red color as the screaming echo of Hentai was heard after an almost slap to the face. He calmed her down though turning around so she could get a towel around herself and sit back in the water. He placed a clawed hand on her cheek wiping away the tears, and soon he couldn't help but be in love with her kissing away the tears that pained her so. Sure he had a pained past and was betrayed by friends but he usually killed them in the end, with the exception of Kurama. Stupid Fox.
She turned to Hiei who didn't know how to make the tears stop, even kissing them away didn't help. She burred her face deep within his small muscular chest, heaving great pains out to the world.
"Hiei…I'm sorry…" she said lifting her head from his chest and wiping away her own tears this time, though the hand that was on his chest didn't leave she was searching his ki and found that he two was a person inside and loved just like the rest. She blushed taking the hand away from his midsection and he gave her a strange look.
"Onna every one is troubled…" he mumbled taking her hand in his just to hold. Then his sensitive side was gone, like it just vanished he threw her hand down in a fit of unknown rage and stomped off into the forest. I can't be in love with the onna its just not right! I can't love, will not love… he found a good sturdy high branch to sit in, its boughs smooth and to his liking. He had no clue what his heart wanted, what his heart told wasn't what the brain was saying. Should he follow the heart or the brain, they where both good organs so why not follow both? It confused him, this new emotion called love; he had never experienced it before. It scared him actually, the way he acted with the onna and the way she almost smiled at him and her touch, he then shivered it was so soft and comfortable. He ached to have her hands on his face but knew not what to do, should he go back to the springs and talk with her? Or stay here and try to revert to his old self? Then a lot more questions popped into his head like why he argued with himself over simple things, but the heart told him this wasn't a simple matter and it had to be resolved quickly and hopefully soon. Someone called him, his name hung in the air with a loving purpose.
"Hiei!" Kagome called him, she was now fully dressed and wanted to see him again at that thought she blushed. Why did he run away from me? Was it he or I? She didn't know why he ran off without a word, but it hurt to see love in his eyes one moment and then confusion and anger the next before he rushed off.
"Hiei I love you…" she whispered to the carrying winds that brought the words to some one's ears that shouldn't have.
"You shouldn't love one you just met…" golden doll like orbs peered upon the girl in the forest with a wicked grin on face as Inu Yasha stalked his pray. Though now was the time to go report back to his love, with a temperamental child like sigh he took to the forest and followed the scent of burnt flesh, clay and bones. Seeing his love near a river he came to a screeching halt, kicking up dust in his wake as the soul stealers set the clay women down.
"I suppose you haven't killed her yet?" a cold venomous voice asked, coming from his once alive love and now he just like her dead as a damned door nail! Sure he had thought about this many a night after he rutted with her, but it all came down to the fact that he loved her.
Inu Yasha still hasn't gotten over Kagome yet. Will a battle break out between the dead Hanyou and the Forbidden Child and will Kagome get there in time to stop it!? Is Hiei really so dense that he doesn't relies love is around the corner for him! And again where did Kuwabrara go!?
