*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I traveled long and hard through Yomi's territory, In situations like these, time is off the essence, and I needed to return to my lover, I was starting to get worried about the kitsune. Kurama would be 1 month pregnant tomorrow, I had spent weeks searching this area and still no success. I nearly just gave up on the whole thing when I realized just how much more I had to search in this area.
I decided to take a quick break, I paused at a tree and hopped up getting settled in a branch, the minute I closed my eyes, there were footsteps.
I opened my eyes and glanced down at the B-Class demon that was wandering its way down the path I had been traveling.
The demon sensed my energy and looked up at me appraisingly. I was floored; the demon looked an awful lot like I did. Black hair, the same features, the only difference was the cold brown eyes that the demon possessed.
The demon appraised me for just a bit longer, then continued on. I was a bit unnerved. Who was that? I opened my Jagan eye and went into the demon's mind.
-Demon's Mind-
That man looked too much like me. That is strange...I wonder who he is. He has such a strong energy though. It would not be wise of me to bother him.
I wonder whatever happened to my Hina?
- Hiei reaction-
I nearly gasped, Hina was my mother's name! Since I never forget anything, I never forgot my mother's name. His Hina…was this my father?
-Demon's-
She told me she had broken the rules, she told me she would get pregnant, I wonder what happened to my child? It's no importance to me now, the child is probably dead, Hina most likely couldn't protect it up in her village. I can't believe she went back. I miss her.
Why should I care about that wench anymore? She left me after I declared my love to her, might as well not be concerned for her or the child.
-Hiei-
I couldn't believe it, I had found his father, at last, there was no mistaking it, he had to be my father, I dug further into his mind and discovered my father's name was Ginjiro.
I thought about this, well…there was a chance, just a chance, that this was not my father, after all this man could have slept with Hina after Hiei and Yukina had left, but that was not possible.
I thought about it, there wasn't a chance Ginjiro had slept with my mother recently. She's dead. I know not of any other children my mother had, I don't think she did. I'm positive she didn't have anymore. So this had to be my father, this Ginjiro.
I couldn't just sit and let my father walk away, I at least wanted to say something to him, see his reaction to me. Though, I didn't honestly care if Ginjiro rejected me, I had just been happy at least to have found my father. I just wanted to see what Ginjiro acted like to his own son.
I flitted after him, but how would I convince Ginjiro that I was his son? I shook my head, I'd worry about that when the time came.
- Ginjiro-
Ginjiro continued his walking, after hiding himself for the past 90 years, people forgot about him when he came into the open 6 years ago. Not that he really cared if anyone remembered him anyways. It wasn't a concern to him.
He had been hiding for one reason, to hide his grief over losing Hina. He had expected her to come back. The damned ice demons probably didn't allow her to return though. His love…
He shook himself. He didn't need to start feeling those emotions again after so long. She had only wanted him so she could break the rules. He scowled, and here he had fallen for her pleas of love.
He was disgusted with himself.
Ginjiro sighed slightly and shifted his Katana, he didn't need to think about Hina, and how beautiful she had been…
He was about to punch himself when he heard the tree branches rustle above him. He glanced up and furrowed his eyebrows. Who the?
The strange man jumped down and faced Ginjiro. He stared at Ginjiro for the longest time. Then it struck Ginjiro, the man's eyes….they were the same color as Hina's.
Was this…was this is child? His son? Ginjiro looked closer and shook himself mentally. No…there were a lot of demons with red eyes, this was just a coincidence.
When the strange, silent man didn't say a word to him, Ginjiro straightened up to his fullest height and said.
"Who are you?"
-Hiei-
I raced along for a few minutes before finally getting far enough ahead that I could jump down. So as not to surprise Ginjiro too much, I rustled the leaves of the trees and then hopped down.
I stared at my father, trying to decide the best way to approach the subject, I watched as my father's face went from surprised, to shocked, to defensive. Then watched as Ginjiro straightened and asked the question I would have to answer.
"Who are you?"
I stared once more for just a bit and this angered Ginjiro. "Look, if you aren't going to say anything, then why the hell did you follow me? More importantly, if you're not going to say anything, you can just get out of my way. Stop wasting my time."
I frowned slightly and then said abruptly, "Do you know who I am?"
Ginjiro glared. "If I knew who you were, I wouldn't have asked you."
I nodded slightly, wondering what made me ask such a foolish question. Then said, "I'm your son, Ginjiro."
Ginjiro stepped back, his brown eyes widening slightly. "How did you…?" He asked, wondering how this man knew his name. Ginjiro watched as I opened my Jagan.
Ginjiro thought about this and then scowled and unsheathed his Katana. "I don't have time for fooling around, just get the hell out of my way before I slaughter you." He slid his feet into the proper fighting position.
I stared a long while at my father then said. "My mother was Hina, I have a sister named Yukina." I said staring evenly at the man who threatened me.
"You have a Jagan, how do I know you just didn't get Hina's name out of my head?" He demanded.
I sighed, realizing it was a mistake to show him the Jagan. "What will it take to make you believe me?"
Ginjiro straightened and sheathed his Katana. "Quit messing around, kid, I don't have time for this," he walked around me and continued his way down the path. I stared for the longest time, wondering what I should do.
I had found my father, that was all I wanted, I had found out what my father was like. I needed to get home to Kurama.
I wasted no time in opening the communicator.
"Hi Hiei! How did your search go?" Botan asked happily into the communicator, her cheery face appearing, making me wince.
"Fine, I found him. Just make-" I was cut off as I heard something, some fighting, I also smelled blood. "Hold on Onna." I shut the communicator and flitted ahead.
I saw my father fighting in a battle surrounded by many demons, of all shapes and sizes, of all strengths. Without a second thought, I unsheathed my Katana and jumped into battle.
-Ginjiro-
Ginjiro had been walking along. He sensed a ton of energy up ahead of him, but decided he could just go around them all. It wasn't a big deal to him, he would fight them if he had too. No sparing the lives of the evil.
They felt his energy before he even came near, and unfortunately, the weak ones were always the stupid ones, they decided they could fight him, even though he was a B-class.
When they approached, he sighed and unsheathed his Katana and sliced the first couple in half.
He felt the strange man's energy and saw him jump in and start fighting with him, fighting the same style he did. Ginjiro stared in shock, and that was stupid of him, he received a deep, and long slash across his back.
He staggered and went down for a second that was just enough time for the same demon to inflict another major wound upon his chest.
The strange demon flitted forward and slashed the other demon to pieces and then continued fighting the others as Ginjiro managed to stand.
Together they had killed all the demons in less then 4 minutes. But, since Ginjiro had received some bad wounds, they had started to affect him.
He sat down on the ground and the other demon approached him. Ginjiro looked up at him, "What is your name?"
"Hn. Hiei." then he felt something hard smack the back of his head, and Ginjiro blacked out.
