Salutations
I'm sooo sorry I haven't updated in forever! I don't know what came to me that I didn't get to update in at least four to five months. Really sorry, I'll try to make this chapter as long as possible to make up.
Oh yeah, I just realized...before that I type how I talk, like when I type right now is the exact thoughts that are in my mind at the moment, and my mind works really fast, faster than my fingers, so yeah, there will be a lot of wrong grammar…I am too lazy to check my grammar cause once I am done with my work all I want to do is post.
So here is my chapter 4, I hope you people enjoy! And please, I really want reviews, once you people read can you please, please, please, give me a review, look, my friends say things about my works so that I can improve, but sometimes it just doesn't work, so I need this criticism from people I don't really know so that I can improve my work. Just disregard my grammar. But the whole story itself. Ayt? Thankies so much. ON TO THE FIC!
Chapter 4- I am not omnipresent
(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)
It was a week after the birthday of Yuki, it wasn't completely obvious that she turned another year older yet, she was pretty much still her old self. Though, ever since her birthday snow started to fall down, it was almost the Christmas holiday, that is what people would normally think, but for the demon family, it was to show neither Hiei nor Yuki can escape the Koorime fate, the koorime curse that was bound to them forever. Still as always, Hiei was a house-wife, if you call it that. Kurama went to work everyday to earn money for his family. Yuki, she was just at home, being disciplined and doing her role as a good child. Nothing much has changed in the Minamino residence, all was same.
It was mid morning, about ten in the morning; Kurama left two hours ago for work, Hiei was practically done with all the house cleaning and laundry. Yuki was watching television; she was watching girls dancing ballet. Hiei wiped his hands from washing the dishes and went to his daughter at the living, and noticed that she was too close to the television. All of her toys were scattered all over the floor carpet, but Hiei didn't mind, he knew that Yuki would put them all back as soon as she was done playing with them. Hiei carried his daughter and placed her on his lap with him on the sofa.
"Papa, I want to dance like them. Look, they dance so gracefully…so pretty." Yuki snuggled, to her Papa's arms.
Hiei didn't say anything, he didn't even know what these humans were doing, and he knew it was dancing but he didn't know what kind of dance it was and he just knew it was dancing. "Uh…Yuki…" Hiei tried to say something, but was interrupted by his daughter.
"I really want to dance like that. I want to wear them are wearing, so pretty…" Yuki blushed.
Hiei didn't know what to say to his daughter. He didn't know if he would even allow her to dance that, though when he thought about it he never really expected something from his daughter, if she wanted to be a fighter like he was or Kurama, it would be alright for him, she would become one of Makai's greatest demons. But he choose for her to go with the safe side, that was the main reason why they stayed in Ningenkai, to avoid the demons that would most probably want to kill their family especially Yuki.
"I think you should ask your Otosan about it instead, I don't know anything about what they are doing baby." Hiei said to his daughter. Yuki barely paid attention, she just continued to watch.
The show lasted twelve more minutes, Hiei watched with his daughter, it was true that this dance was very elegant, filled with grace, serenity and peace. Something that was very opposing to what Hiei really does in his real life, before he had gotten Yuki. But Yuki was much like the fox, filled with grace, and elegance, like what the dancers are showing on the television which caught Yuki's attention. Hiei sighed as he watched.
The show ended, Yuki closed the television. She picked up her toys and put them all back in a box, where all her toys were kept. Hiei just watched his clever daughter do her own cleaning, it was help to Hiei. Yuki has long jet black hair, neatly tide up in a ponytail, her hair fell like Kurama's hair, her eyes as amber as Youko's, but the shape was taken from Hiei's almond shaped eyes, she was a true beauty. Not only was she a precious pearl from the orient, she was also gifted with intelligence, inherited from both of her clever parents, she was practically almost perfect. Hiei thought all of these, and thought how lucky his daughter was, he thought that she never had to experience all the agony and pain he went through in the past, she doesn't even have to know it, what matters was the present, what was now.
"Yuki-chan, come here." Hiei called to Yuki.
Yuki went to her father, Hiei carried her again, and cradling her like when she was just a baby. Hiei remembered that night when he gave birth to Yuki, he had almost died for her, and it was worth the sacrifice, knowing what she has become now.
"Papa?" Yuki reached both of her hands at her father's cheek, pinching them both. Hiei got her right hand and kissed it.
"I just like to baby you, like when you were a baby. I just miss my baby." Hiei smiled at her.
Yuki didn't say anything. She just let her Papa cradle her. She felt very comfortable and relaxed; she was in the protective arms of her Papa after all.
"You know Yuki-chan, I remember the first time I saw you after giving birth to you. When I saw you on your Otosans arms I couldn't keep my eyes away from that bundle he was carrying. As your Otosan gave your little body to me I couldn't help but cry. I saw how beautiful you were. That every single second of pain that I took was worth it, even today I think so." Hiei said to his daughter, he wasn't looking at her directly, but he meant everything he said, and the little girl understood it.
"Yu-chan, your life is so much better than my life when I was a child. And I plan to keep it this way that is why you're Otosan and I kept you away from the demons that may possibly want to take you away from us.' Hiei stopped he took a breath he didn't want to frighten his daughter so he thought of the right words to say, after all she was still very much a child even by demon standards her mind still picks up words that may sound literal to her which are meant to be non-literal. "That's why you're always going to be our baby." Hiei started to tickle her, she laughed as her father tickled her on her stomach.
"Papa, stop it!" She was laughing while trying to tell her father to stop tickling her.
Hiei and Yuki were always at home together, but there was something special about this day that made both of them even closer to each other. Hiei never took his eye, particularly the Jagan, from Yuki. Now, there was thought, Hiei didn't want Yuki to fight, but he wanted her to be the most powerful one amongst all demons, he wanted her to live in peace, calmness, serenity, and quiet life just like the feeling when someone watches how graceful ballet dancers were.
(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)(X)
Later that day Hiei decided that he wanted to go around outside the house with his daughter. He dressed her in a thick jacket with boots, wool socks, gloves, and a cap. He wanted to keep her as warm as possible, even though she was partly a fire demon it was still better to stay on the safe side. Hiei didn't bother clothing himself as warmly as his daughter's; he just got a jacket, not to thick and wore his normal black boots under his pants.
The Minamino family lived near-by the woods, or in the woods. They didn't want to live near the city where it could be noisy, riot. In the woods, they had their private lives living in sanctuary, without any disturbances. Hiei and Yuki went out to see the snow covered woods. Everything was white, it was rare to see green leaves, and everything was covered in snow. Yuki was playing around running all over making things out of the snow. She was just having fun.
Yuki got a hand full of snow on her hands; she went to Hiei about to show him a trick. "Papa! Look at this; I can control some of my powers now, look! Look!" She was eager to show her father was she had learned. Hiei bent down in her level and watched his daughter do her trick.
"Okay Yu-chan, show me." Hiei said anticipating for what she wanted to show him.
Yuki took out her right hand glove with the snow on her palm. Slowly she manipulated spirit energy to it, and the snow was slowly melting into drops of water. Hiei was amazed to see what his daughter had done, manipulating her fire powers. As soon as the snow completely melted its way out of her palms and only leaving liquid water, she wiped her hands and wore her leather glove back.
"How did you manipulate your powers like that Yu-chan?" Hiei asked, not remembering once teaching her how to use any of her spirit energy.
"I don't know, it just came to me…I guess…Papa, are you mad? Maybe I shouldn't have shown you." Yuki felt disappointed, feeling that her Papa didn't appreciate this talent she had.
"No, Yu-chan, in fact, I am very much proud of you. You learned it by yourself. You're one smart kid you know that?" Hiei smiled at her.
"I know! That's because I have the best Papa in the world!" She pinched both Hiei's cheeks. Hiei laughed. Both of them started to play in the snow, Hiei wasn't used to all the "fluffiness" his daughter was doing, even though it has been five year, his old habits were still getting on his way. But he tried.
They both began to throw snows to each other, Hiei didn't want to hurt Yuki but he wanted to surprise her. Yuki was running, she stopped by, by an unfrozen pond, as she was about to throw a snow at her Papa she slipped and fell on the freezing pool of water. Hiei ran at his top speed to get his daughter out of the pond.
'Yuki!" Hiei yelled. Yuki was struggling she didn't know how to swim, but despite that her body was freezing like ice, she is a fire demon, but even so, she didn't know to warm her body to stop the coldness, and her mind was only thinking of herself not drowning. Hiei jumped in the pond, the depth was almost at his neck, he caught his drowning daughter against himself holding her tight, using his spirit energy he instantly made Yuki and the pond warm, before he even got out of the pond with his daughter.
Yuki was freezing, even though she was being warmth by Hiei's body she was freezing, her body was cold, cold as ice. She was shaking, she couldn't even speak.
"Yu-chan?" Hiei held her against his body tight. He knew that staying around the open cold air wouldn't do his daughter good. He carried her and ran back to their house.
Once they got back home, Hiei went straight to her room and lay her on her bed, he took off her clothes and dressed her in her dry pajama's, he put socks at her and tucked her in her thick blanket, he added more blankets, it was about five layers thick. He settled Yuki there, still feeling cold. He went to the kitchen and filled a basin with warm water with a towel. He went straight back to his daughters room. Before he placed the warm compress on her forehead, he felt her body, she was burning, and she kept on breathing heavily. Hiei didn't know what to do; he placed the warm compress against her fore head and held her small hands, transferring some heat to her body.
Yuki had fever, Hiei could only wish Kurama were home, so that he can deal with what was happening to Yuki, Kurama was better than this than Hiei, Hiei never really got sick, but whenever he did no one nursed him, and his sickness would be gone sooner or later.
"Papa…sorry for causing you such trouble…" Yuki tried to say.
"No Yu-chan, it was my fault for bring you out. Just rest, you're a very strong girl, you'll heal fast. Alright? Promise me that you'll be okay? Alright?" Hiei almost cried, blaming himself for what had happened.
Yuki nodded, she closed her eyes, wanting to rest. Soon she fell asleep.
'Oh no, what have I done? I shouldn't have gone out with her. It's my entire fault. Now, she's sick because of me. What will Kurama say? Should I call him? Or should I wait for him until he arrives home? If I wait, he may be anger with me for not telling him, but if I tell him he would drop everything and leave at an instant. That's not good. I'm such a bastard. How can I be so careless?!'
Hiei choose not to call Kurama, not to make him worry, or not to make him leave everything that he was doing at work and come back home. It wouldn't be too good for him and his career. Hiei just sat beside his daughter while she sleeps hoping that her fever would go down. He tried to transfer some of his energy to her, but it may not be for the best either, it may just make it worst, her body wasn't open to spirit energy transfer, her spirit energy was focused mainly on her recovery. There was nothing better to do for Hiei but sit and wait until Yuki's fever goes down. Hiei prayed that she would be back to her normal temperature again.
"I'm sorry Yuki…" Hiei said one red-black pearl dropped from Hiei's chin, forming a Teargem.

Later that day, almost evening. Kurama came home; he was wondering why his daughter was there to cheer him up, or showering him with kisses, as he arrived. Actually the whole Minamino house was silent, he noticed that the dinner wasn't prepared yet, everything in the first floor was quite, dull, and dark. He switched the lights on, calling to his mate and daughter.
"Hiei? Yuki?" He said for the whole of the house to hear. He walked to the main hall, leaving his shoes, covered in snow by the door.
There was no reply. He called again "Yuki? Hiei?"
Again there was no one but the sound of silence that was heard.
This time Kurama was worried, maybe something happened to his mate and child, he was afraid that someone might have taken them both. He rushed to the stairs, the first room was Yuki's he went in and saw hi mate sleeping beside his daughter who was covered in a five layered blanket. Kurama saw that Yuki had a towel on her forehead, it was cold. He placed his right hand over her forehead and his left hand on his. Yuki was definitely hotter, than he was.
"Hiei," Kurama shook his mate to wake. Hiei was groggy. But as he saw the red locks, sitting beside his sleeping daughter he was fully awake "what happened here Hiei? Why does Yuki have a high fever?" Kurama asked in concern and worry, it almost frightened Hiei.
"I brought Yuki out to play, and she fell…on the pond. That's what happened." Hiei said plainly, he knew Kurama would be mad.
"You brought her out to play? I told you never to go out of the house when I am not around, didn't I tell you that?" Kurama's temper was beginning to arise.
"I know you did, but I never thought-" Hiei was cut short when Kurama started to rant again.
"Even if she didn't fall, you know that anyone may have just taken you, especially Yuki, we may live far from the city but that just means we live closer to the demons. Hiei I can't believe you would do something like that." Kurama was getting angry with Hiei in a low tone, avoiding for his daughter to wake.
Hiei just gave him a look. He didn't know what to say but sorry, but he couldn't let himself say it. It was an accident; he didn't mean to do that.
"Once more Hiei, you didn't call me. You could have called me so that I could have gotten home sooner and nurse her. Tch! Hiei, tell me what time did this happen?" Kurama asked him giving him a bad stare.
"About three in the afternoon," Hiei said, trying to avoid Kurama's emerald eyes.
"It has been three hours since Hiei, and all you did was this? How can I give you my hundred percent trusts when you only disobey my simple instructions?! Tch, fill the basin with hot water again, get aspirin, and paracetamol." Kurama demanded he didn't want to waste time in ranting over Hiei's mistakes; he needed to take care of his daughter now.
Hiei was glad that Kurama's sermon was over, but he still felt responsible for what had happened to Yuki. Yes, everything that Kurama said was true, he was irresponsible. Now, all he wanted to do was follow Kurama's instructions and do them right and also help for the best for the betterment of Yuki's health.
Hiei sighed, as he closed the door and ran to the kitchen with his top speed.
