Soulless Tragedy

Chapter Three

Master Ouboryuu

Hiei's POV

As I lay awake that night, settled comfortably in the boughs of a tree outside of Kurama's window, my thoughts wandered back to the past, before she died. She was alive. I wanted to laugh, but in doing so, my reputation would be utterly shattered, which is something I do not want.

Kagome Higurashi; she was entirely the enigma I respected so much in the past. My feelings have grown and festered even more after she died, but I kept them locked up away, my pain and despair preventing me from feeling anything else beyond anger and indifference. I trained endlessly, and had the demon surgeon implant the Jagan within my forehead to enable me to find Yukina quicker. I stole the sword that almost made the detective's girlfriend a demon; I mastered my fire element at last, when I tamed the Black Dragon. But now, as I met her again, my feelings, lurking deep beneath the surface, surfaced again much more stronger than last I had felt them.

I could not describe this feeling I felt in my chest, in my heart. I have heard of it before. I believe humans called this feeling . . . love. But how could this be love? Even if it was, how could someone as pure and kind-hearted as her love a grotesque being such as me? I am the Forbidden Child, I was not meant for this world, yet she brightened my day and made me feel wanted. Do I love her?

I growled quietly at the back of my throat as I remembered a day when I accidentally caught a glimpse of her naked as I was moving stealthily through the trees. She had just finished bathing and stood up from the steaming water. My crimson eyes had followed the tiny little droplets of water that had slid down her beautifully toned body. Her slender hips were curved perfectly and her long legs left little to imagination. I took a look at the round globes of flesh at the bottom of her spine. Oh, how I yearned to run my little fingers over that lovely piece of ass! She turned around to get out of the spring and her big breasts were exposed to me. How I ached to run my tongue over her pert nipples. My arousal spiked as I remembered that all too vivid image.

Groaning in poorly hidden dismay, I vanished from my spot in the tree to find a few low-class demons to take my frustration out upon.

Kagome had snuck out of her house and strolled leisurely down the empty streets. She was on her way to visit the house of her old mentor, Ryoko Ouboryuu.

She came to an alleyway and walked down to the end, which seemed like a dead end . . . to everyone but Kagome. She put her palm on the wall and channeled her power into it, then quickly struck eight places on the wall, in the sequence that gave the pattern the shape of an octagon. The wall wobbled a little before straightening again, still looking like the ever-solid alley wall it was. But Kagome simply walked through it. It turned solid after she disappeared into it, leaving everything quiet once more.

Kagome ended up on a grassy bank covered in thin white mist. In front of her was a giant lake with an island in the center. With careful practice, she raced across the water, channeling her ki into her feet so she wouldn't sink. She reached the bank of the island and walked up to the ornate front door.

Knocking three times, she shouted, "Master Ouboryuu!"

The door opened and a young man who looked around his early thirties stepped out (he's actually immortal, so he's around 834 years old). His burgundy eyes lit up when he saw his student. "Kagome!" he exclaimed, swooping her up into a big bear hug. "What's my favorite student doing in my sanctuary?"

"Actually, I might need your help, Master," she said. "You see, in the Sengoku Jidai I met a demon named Hiei. He's actually a Forbidden Child, because his mother was an Ice Maiden but she mated with a fire demon. I kind of . . . died in the Sengoku Jidai and he saw that. But I met him again, today."

"And?" Ouboryuu quirked an eyebrow.

"Well . . ." she paused. "I think he's in love with me, but I'm not sure. He was with three other people early, and one of them smelt faintly of kitsune."

Ouboryuu rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "I see. Well, Kagome, I believe I've heard of them before . . . they're the newest group of Spirit Detectives under Koenma's command, who's the temporary ruler of the Spirit Realm," he explained. "This Hiei you speak of . . . he is vertically challenged, with crimson eyes, a Jagan implant in his forehead, and is extremely fast and gifted with swordsmanship."

"Sounds like Hiei all right," Kagome said.

Hiei's POV

Great. Just fucking great. I've killed about twenty youkai already, but my problem won't go away. And these images that invade my mind vex me and tease me. Because they are all of her. My Kagome.

Letting loose another angry growl, I slew an unsuspecting boar demon with my sword, flicking it sharply in the other direction to throw the blood off.

Other demons smelt the blood and came near, their jaws dripping with transparent drool, their greedy eyes red with hunger and lust. I killed them all, but it did nothing to alleviate my frustration. The problem in my pants made itself known long before I came to Makai to clear my head.

If I cannot relieve myself through killing, I will need to find a way to seduce Kagome into my bed. This is no longer a lust for blood. It is what humans call "sexual frustration". I thought this as I made my way back to the Ningenkai to clean up and plot to claim the woman's virginity before a week was up.

Ugh, I'm disgusted with myself. This chapter is kinda short cause it's more of a filler chapter than a real one. Still, I hoped you liked it enough to leave a review. Thanks a lot for the reviews, you have no idea how happy I am right now with the review count.

They were excellent reviewers. Trinity the Kitsune Kunoichi suggested that all of Kagome's old companions (including the humans) be alive in Makai and waiting until the right time to see her. I think that's a great suggestion, so I'll probably use it in the next chapter. But give the credit to her!
