Nobody Not Really

I could see the look of fear in her eyes as she shivered at my touch. This mere child was my kit, and she wasn't very strong. She was however my progeny, the direct result of my tryst with the dark beauty Na'Barrae. It felt good to be free of Shuiichi, if not for a moment. If things went my way, then I would keep my mental state regardless of my merger with the human boy. As long as my kit stayed by my side, I would be forced to remain as Youko, and once my human half finally accepted my personality, the merger would be complete. For now I was nobody, not really.
"How you've grown my little vixen."
Her eyes scowled at me, momentarily forgetting her fear. Her electrifying chi powered vine hurtled towards me, and I barely missed her barrage of attacks. The scorched grass below was a clear indicator that danger was ahead. I floated in the air for a few seconds before plucking a few seeds from my hair. My daughter needed to learn respect. The seed, powered by the demon energy was similar to my deadly ojigyi plant.
"I'm not your little anything! You'll pay for what you did to my mother—I'll have your head!"
She wailed, sending another lash with her whip towards me. She was slightly harder to disarm to disarm than I initially thought, but she'd still be no trouble for me. I was after all a legendary thief. Yusuke and the others made a move to intervene, but after a cold glare from Hiei, they remained rooted to their places. Whatever reason this girl had for hating me had to be a mistake.
"You have my head? On the contrary, little one—you're a couple of hundred years to young to best me."
My words had angered her, and I could see by the darkening slits of her eyes that she wouldn't take my taunts lying down. Before I could barrage her with more teasing of the schoolyard fare, she managed to graze my hand with a large thorn from her whip. Smirking triumphantly, she continued her slashing, and I barely dodged her attacks. Unlike most people, when she was angry she fought harder, and more focused.
"You think you can do anything you want don't you? You disgust me you sick, demented, rapist asshole!"
Her words literally floored me. Sure, I was demented, and had been described as sick on a number of occasions, but a raping asshole? This was certainly news to me. I had never forced myself sexually on anyone.
"What in Enma's name are you on about girl! I am not a rapist!"
I demanded, as my own eyes lost their bullion hue to become a bitter shade of angry red. I stalked up to her and snapped her vine in half, as if I would a twig. I growled low in y throat angry that anyone would tell me kit that her mother was a rapist. I couldn't have done that, could I? Suddenly another presence entered the meadow, and I recognized the ki signature immediately.
"Oh, but the girl is right Youko. You did rape her mother, and she is the result."
