At the sound of the door opening, a seven year old girl sprang up to her feet, her three year old brother Kazuma watching. Kari was expecting a very special visitor, and with glee ran to the door. Yukina, her mother, was already at the door and welcomed in Hiei. He stepped in the girl throwing herself at her uncle's legs but he was too quick and instead caught her in his arms holding her up.
"Uncle Hiei you came!"
Hiei nodded smiling for the little girl he was so attached to.
"Hello Kari, I came as I promised."
"How is Daddy?" She asked eagerly.
Kazuma Kuwabara had been called to meet Yenma three days ago. Yenma had found out about a plot, and needed to speak with Kuwabara on what he would do. His friends, still not trusting the God who had caused them so much trouble, had gone with him taking shifts in staying with him. Hiei was the last person with him and had switched out with Yusuke, "He's fine. He sends his love. He'll be home tomorrow."
Yukina sighed eagerly, "Oh good I have missed him."
Hiei nodded know his sister had been lonely since his departure. Hiei walked further inside, kissing the three year old on his head. Soon Hiei was engaged in a conversation with Yukina, who commented on life. She said little Kazuma cried often, but according to Kuwabara it was because he could also see spirits. Kari however had already begun showing promise to becoming a great fighter, often challenging Yusuke's eldest son Raizen to a fight.
The two spoke of many things, mainly to do with Kuwabara. Kari came over sitting by her uncle's side asking, "Uncle Hiei how come I don't have daddy's eyes?" Hiei blinked ruffling her blue hair. "You have his eyes, they are blue just like his." She shook her head, "No the crosses. I want those."
An awkward silence passed amongst them, and Yukina cleared her throat. Hiei took Kari's hand and led her outside. "Uncle Hiei did I say something bad?" He shook his head leading her outside to take a walk with her. "No dear…but there is something you need to know." Kari looked up at him seeing that her Uncle looked sad. She had come to accept that when her Uncle showed his emotions then it was because the feelings were so strong, otherwise her kept them bottled up inside. He took her to shrine steps sitting down the girl sitting next to him.
"Kari you know how your father has to leave to go see Uncle Yusuke?"
She nodded cocking her head. Hiei sighed knowing Kuwabara would later be angry at him for this, but it had to be answered, and he would answer as gently as he could. "You see he was taken away from us when you weren't even thought up. He was young then, and a demon came. A bad one, the ones we tell you about. The demon came and gave Kuwabara an offer that…he could not refuse. He hurt your Daddy, and left many scars on him. Those crosses in his eyes are some scars that were left."
Kari blinked, "Daddy got scars in his eyes?"
"Yes," said Hiei, "And sometimes they cause him pain so he must see Yusuke. For they share the same soul…something I will explain to you later." Kari nodded face getting red from tears filling her eyes, "Does Daddy…does daddy get sad a lot?" Hiei pulled the girl in his arms, "Why would he get sad when he has you to keep him happy? Some days, around the time when it happened he does get sad. But you are what makes him happy, and brings him joy." Kari wiped her teary eyes looking comforted by that.
"I wish Daddy had never been hurt."
"I know…but that experience made him a very good person."
Kari nodded and the two went back inside. The little girl was troubled for the rest of the day and woke up late the next day for she had had trouble sleeping that night. She walked outside not in the mood for her usual play but was greeted by the sight of her Aunt Keiko and Raizen. She and Raizen approached one another and went off to play. However, he quickly realized that she was in no mood for games.
So they went to the tree house out back that had been built for them. Once up he looked at the little girl, "What's wrong?" She sighed, "Daddy's eyes hurt him." Raizen had been told of the ordeal his uncle had been through from his father just this year, and was a little startled she knew of it. He cleared his throat, "Do you want to know a secret?"
Kari looked at him and Raizen spoke again, "Your dad can see bad things through those eyes, but he can see much better things. He can see heaven."
Kari perked up, "Really?"
"My father told me so, because I asked why there were so special. He told me your dad was amazing and could see wonderful things with those eyes. They are good eyes he said. Very good eyes. Don't be sad, they don't just hurt your Dad, but they help him too." Kari smiled feeling better about Raizen's words. "Thank you…I was sad that Daddy may be hurting all the time."
Raizen pat his friend on the head, "You see squirt everything is okay!"
After those reassuring words she felt better and the two climbed down to go play. Later Kabuseru and Yomgaeru showed up to wait for Yusuke's and Kuwabara's return. They greeted Kari and the other's warmly speaking of a new mission they'd be taking. Yukina advised them to be careful, and gave them both hugs. Kurama and Hiei arrived as well, this time their children and wives with them. They brought food so they could have a big welcoming party when their friends arrived. Kari was the one most excited.
Kabuseru was swinging Kari around when the familiar laughter of her father could be heard rising over the stone steps. Kabuseru let her down and ran to the steps stopping at the stop seeing her father half way up along with her Uncle Yusuke. Her dad needed and shave and his hair was mussed, but he was smiling. He looked up seeing Kari and at his grin she ran to him throwing herself in his arms.
"How is my little girl?"
"Great! I missed you!"
"I missed you too sweet heart," Kuwabara said as he lifted her on his shoulders. She giggled as Yusuke reached up poking her ribs. The three made it to the top Kuwabara surprised by the warm greeting. The children that were able to run to him threw themselves on him. It was a known fact that Kuwabara was the favorite among the uncles. They brought Kuwabara down giggling madly. Kabuseru approached with a smiled dropping to her knees to give him a hug.
Kabuseru lived at a church, having no home, a fact she neglected to tell anyone, and thought of Kuwabara as a father. "Glad to have you back Sensei," She said as he pat her head. "I'm glad to be back." Kuwabara managed to pull himself away swooping up Kazuma in one arm, and pulling Yukina in the other arm to kiss her. Kari smiled looking at her father with adoration and love. Her father truly was the best person in the world.
She glanced at Raizen who was talking with his dad. She smiled gently cheeks flushing. Raizen wasn't so bad himself either.
