Chapter 7: Happy And Bad

The Girl's House

Hiei opened his eyes. He seen a white ceiling and his arm and shoulder felt a little sour.

"Where am I!" He jumped up real fast.

The blanket over his body fell down to his lap. He had a patch on his shoulder and on his back in the same spot, it was now visable.

"You're at my house. You were hit with an arrow and I seen you just laying in the grass. You were soaking wet and so I took you back to my house... here." A young girl said walking into the room.

"Who are you?" Hiei asked.

"Umm... my name is Peril." She said.

"Hi..." Hiei said before feeling a sharp pain in his shoulder. "Ah!"

"Ooo. You shouldn't move your arm that much." she said. "You could rip the stitches."

"You stitched me up?"he asked.

She nodded. "Yeah, you need them." After she said that, Hiei looked around and there was a silence in the room for a moment. "Um, are you hungry?" She asked.

"No. But I could use some swee... ah, forget it you probably don't even know what it is." Hiei said.

"What?" she said sweetly.

"Do you... have any ice cream?" he asked.

"Oh, Yes! Of course!" she said joyfully.

"Really? Ahhh!" Hiei said, then felt a sharp pain when he went to sit up more.

"Oh, I love ice cream! I'll go get you some! If I didn't have that ice bucket, the ice cream would melt..." Peril said before leaving to get some ice cream for Hiei and herself.

"This isn't so bad after all." Hiei said to himself, smiling.

The Forest

"Okay, can we go now?" Kioto whined.

"Yeah, let's go already." Kagome said.

Inuyasha just stood looking into the woods. They all began walking but he just stood for a few seconds.

"Hey puppy! We're going!" Kouga yelled to him.

"Hrrrr..." InuYasha growled.

As they walked. Kioto began telling them about his rich life and how terrible it is. "I never want to be king! Not of Hyrule and not of anywhere!" Kioto said angrily.

"Are you sure? I wouldn't mind living that way at all!" Miroku said. "AS long as there' woman there! So how many do you get?" Miroku asked.

"Shut up, Miroku, you pervert!" Kagome yelled.

"And so..." Kioto continued until a voice from behind started yelling.

"Hey guys, wait up!" A young girl's voice yelled. They all looked back and seen it was Tiena.

"Tiena?" InuYasha said, surprised that she would come back.

"Wait for me!" She yelled, running up.

"Guess your father didn't see you." InuYasha continued, happily.

"Yeah, I wanted to come along when I seen you guys. But, when I seen my father I had to may a break for it! So, now I guess he thinks I'm hiding somewhere." Tiena told them with a laugh..

"Oh, you want to come with us?" InuYasha asked her.

"Of course! That's why I'm here! You're my favorite uncle, Inuyasha. Of course I want to be with you!"

"I'm your only uncle." InuYasha said, then hugging her.

"Okay great! Now that we had the family reunion, can we be on our way?" Kioto asked, anxiously. Finally, with no more interruptions they could be on their journey. Or so they thought.

Neonna's House

"He probably just went for a walk, Yusuke." Yukina told him. "Where's that girl? Neonna, is her name? She seems to have disappeared, too."

"Hm, I don't know." Yusuke said.

"I'll check on Kurama." Yukina walked over to the bedroom door, put her hand on the knob and then stopped when Yusuke began to talk..

"I'll try and find Hiei again." Yusuke said walking back outside.

Yukina nodded, then opened the door and walked into the room to see Kurama, still sleeping. "Well, at least we know where you are." she smiled.

Kurama's Dreams

Kurama is in a dark place. He looks around and can see nothing but darkness.

"Where am I?" He asks himself.

Just then, Kurama got a glimps of the past. He could see his mother, holding him as an infant. Next to her was his father, holding his twin brother. They laughed and smiled. Kurama smiled at the scene that he saw.

But then, everything became dark. Him, his happy family all shaded away and could now hear screams and cries. "Hisho! No!" he heard from within the dark, blackness. "Nooo!"

Kurama began breathing heavily. He heard babies crying and then all of a sudden, it just stopped. No more crying babies and deathly screams. He just stood there and watched. He continued to breath heavily.

But then, something came out from the shadows. It was a man. He could just see a little bit of his face that wasn't covered in shadow. He saw long black hair, red eyes, and a feminine, but evil face. It just smiled at him. Kurama then realized... it was Naraku!
