Shezka: At least now I'm back on schedule! Read and enjoy.
Huroda glared at Hiei at the comment he had made. He remained silent though and the two fire demons disappeared from sight. Huroda walked with a dangerous grace that seemed to ward off anyone who got to close. He almost glided over the ground. Ready to fight or flee at a moments notice. Eyes sweeping the ground before him for traps. As they walked Huroda began to remember a time that seemed like a thousand years ago.
Flashback
He could hear her crying and wailing as he she squeezed the life from his hand. Hina was in labor. Since their love was forbidden he couldn't run to get help. As her screams carried on into the night he was surprised no one came to the small hut. After some time Hina finally rested. Huroda carefully wrapped up a small baby girl in a soft wool blanket. Next he wrapped up the boy who had wide curious eyes already.
"Hina, the young ones are here." Huroda whispered giving her the girl and boy. She weakly sat up and smiled at him. Practically smothering her in an embrace, Huroda gratefully looked at the twins. The boy had been born first. Something he was proud of. He looked over to his beautiful daughter as she snuggled up to her mother.
"What shall we name them?" Hina asked still cradling the twins. Huroda gently took the girl, wanting to share this moment with her.
"We shall name the girl Yukina. You choose the boy's name now." Huroda answered with a smile. The father usually named the boys while the mother named the girls. It was highly unusual for them to switch those decisions.
"I want him to be Hiei. Wasn't that your older brother's name before he died?" Hina said while trying the newly born baby Hiei to sleep.
"Yes, that was his name." Huroda said quietly.
End Flashback
"Your mother would have been ashamed to see the way you turned out." Huroda finally growled in order to get back at his son. Hiei turned towards him with an angry glint in his eyes. That was a subject no one dared to mention around him. Not even Kurama whom he trusted above all else.
"What would you know old man?" Hiei snarled drawing his sword in the process. His father simply smirked at him.
"I knew your mother for years. You only knew her for a couple of days. On top of which you were only a newborn." Huroda answered countering the question easily.
Hiei continued on glaring, but put away his sword. His father did speak the truth. He knew almost next to nothing about his mother. But he still loved her all the same. This brought a question that he had never really thought of asking before. Since he had had know one to ask. What had his mother been like?
"That doesn't change the fact you abandoned us." Hiei replied coldly.
"You don't even know why I left! So shut your mouth filthy half-breed." Huroda warned him as black smoke began to come out of his mouth while he spoke. What he had said hit a vulnerable spot in the back of Hiei's mind.
"Prepare…" Hiei said but was cut off. For his father had turned and with surprising speed had disappeared into the forest. He stared after him and silenced a slight growl that almost escaped his lips. He to, decided that this reunion between them had come to an end.
Huroda watched as his son left to go back home. His breath wasn't filled with black smoke anymore. The next time they would meet would be in about a week. For Hiei needed time to think. Besides, the older fire demon was beginning to have second thoughts about not telling Yukina he was her father.
Shezka: That's it for this chapter. Sorry if it's really short. I'm running short of ideas. With school starting and all it's hard to keep this updated. Please send me reviews!
