The next chapter is up and ready to go!
I know it was weird when they did it with Kas in the room BUT I saw it happen on this show The Walking Dead and it worked so I tried it. It was a spur of the moment type thing and I wanted to convey that he needed her at that moment. Other lemons will be done with the children out and away I promise. Thanks again for all the reviews you beautiful, beautiful people!
The Next Day…Genkai's Temple…
Hatorra woke up to the smell of what she hoped was breakfast. She turned to her side and saw that Hiei was not there. She sat up and saw that Kasei was not in her bed either. She frowned and got dressed quickly. She walked down the steps to see Hiei sitting with Kasei at the table eating breakfast. She smiled and walked in sitting across from them. Kasei glanced up and grinned.
"Morning mommy!" she cheered.
Hatorra smiled and ruffled her daughter's hair. Kasei laughed. She looked back to normal. Except her arms were bandaged up.
He bound her arms. Is that where all that power came from? Her tiny little arms?
She wouldn't bring it up now.
"How are you feeling?" Hatorra asked her and Kasei nodded.
"Much better, I'm really hungry though," she said shoving another piece of bacon into her already full mouth.
Hatorra chuckled.
"Well eat then," she said and turned to Hiei.
"How did you sleep?" he asked her, not taking his eyes off Kasei.
Hatorra nodded.
"Well, and you?" she asked and he nodded.
"The same," he replied calmly.
The mark was hidden by his cloak. She smirked inwardly remembering the other night.
"The Koorime Islands burned to the ground last night," Hiei said offhandedly.
And the smirk faded. Hatorra's eyes widened.
"Is Yukina okay?" she asked quickly.
Hiei shook his head.
"She doesn't know yet."
"How?" she asked confused.
Hiei shook his head.
"Nobody knows anything," he replied calmly.
Hatorra processed it.
"Are you okay?" she asked after a while.
Hiei nodded slowly, but he seemed to be lost in thought. The others came downstairs and sat at the table. Talk was small because they were all hungry.
"How are we going to fix the temple before Genkai gets back?" Yusuke mumbled between forkfuls of food.
"My plants are already working on it. It should be a few more hours and then the temple will be as good as new," Kurama said calmly.
"Good because she'll kill me. I don't even live here anymore, but she'll kill me first," Yusuke said shaking his head.
Kat stood up then and left the table without a word. Hatorra frowned and before Kurama could say anything, stood and followed her friend outside onto the grounds.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Hatorra asked concerned.
Kat whirled around. Her eyes were dark blue and her fangs long.
"Just back off!" she snapped and Hatorra's eyes widened.
"Why are your eyes that color?" she asked shocked.
Hatorra had seen Kat's eyes go light blue almost clear even, but never dark blue.
"I don't know Hatorra! But I'm under a lot of stress! My home burnt to the ground last night!" she shouted.
Hatorra frowned.
"Your home? Since when have you referred to that place as your home? You hated the islands since we were children! They were the reason you were sold into slavery! Why do you suddenly care now?" Hatorra shot back.
Kat sneered at her.
"I didn't want to see it burn to the ground! There were innocent people there! We could have stopped it! But we chose to leave! You chose to leave!" she seethed.
Hatorra stared at her friend wide eyed. Then she got angry.
"My daughter was hurt badly! I felt her connection cut! She died and came back and I felt it all! So if you're implying I chose to do what was best for my daughter rather than help save the Koorime Islands, then yes I did and I regret nothing!" she growled.
Kat let out an angry roar. It caused the attention of the people inside the house because they came outside to investigate.
"Why are you so angry with me? Wouldn't you have done it if it was Daisuke?" she seethed.
"I told you Kasei was going to be fine! She just needed rest!" Kat shot back.
Hatorra scoffed.
"Oh I see so you're right Kat! We should have just run up to the islands and said, 'hey guys burning down the place, we're going to stop you, but first let me just put one of our four children over here because she needs her rest. Please don't mind her while we engage you in battle to save demons that never gave a shit about us!' You're being ridiculous! It's those eyes! What's happening to you?" Hatorra shouted at her friend.
Kat snarled at her friend, turned a dark shade of blue, and swiped at her angrily. Her long nails clanged against something metal and Hatorra gasped seeing Hiei in front of her. Kurama tackled Kat to the ground and pulled out a black rose.
"Rose whip rope!" he called and the black rose wrapped around Kat quickly.
She snarled and growled viciously struggling against it. He looked at his sister.
"You know how to suppress her other side. Do you think you could suppress this one?" he asked and Hatorra nodded slowly.
"I can try," she said softly, still reeling from what just occurred.
She took in a deep breath and let her canines grow. She nicked her finger and walked over to Kat. She showed Kat the blood dripping from her finger and the dark blue eyes faded slightly. Hatorra sighed and pulled out a small dagger from her pocket. Hiei's eyes widened and he grabbed her hand.
"What are you doing?" he asked quickly.
Hatorra looked at him.
"Seeing my blood sedates this form and returns her to her normal form. Because the first time she transformed, she took a lot of my blood and was traumatized by it. Ever since then, when she would turn, seeing my blood has always brought her back," she said calmly.
All eyes were wide.
"The blood from my finger isn't working. These eyes of hers are new. She needs more," she said and slowly cut into her arm with the blade.
Hiei wanted to stop her. He flinched as the blood began streaming down her arm. Kat roared and her eyes faded to her normal color blue and her skin returned to its normal color before she passed out. Hatorra sighed with relief and Hiei quickly put pressure on her arm.
"Yukina," he said and his sister was by his side healing Hatorra's wound quickly.
Hatorra smiled and nodded a thank you to her sister-in-law. It was not the way she should have heard that her home was destroyed. Yukina offered her a sad smile and went back inside with the children. Kat stirred and woke up groggily.
"W-What? Why am I outside?" she groaned and looked down at the rope around her.
Her eyes widened.
"Kurama, what the hell?" she asked shocked.
Hatorra cleared her throat and Kat looked at her.
"How much do you remember?" she asked firmly.
Kat froze.
"I didn't turn Hatorra…" she said unsurely.
Hatorra stared at her friend.
"How much do you remember?" she repeated.
Kat racked her brain.
"Uh, I laid down with Kurama to get some sleep. We were talking about the islands burning," she said calmly.
Hatorra bit her lip.
"Do you blame me for not helping them?" she asked.
Kat's eyes widened.
"No! Why would I blame you? I don't give a shit about those islands! You know why!" she shouted confused.
"Cut her loose," Hatorra said quietly.
Kurama released his mate quickly. Kat stood up and dusted herself off. She started to walk to Hatorra, but stopped when she saw Hiei take a step forward.
"What happened, Torra? What did I do?" she asked quickly.
"You're eyes changed to a dark blue. I've never seen that form before. Your skin turned blue in an instant. It was almost like you evolved except you have no control over this form," she answered her friend.
Kat looked scared.
"I don't even remember getting out of bed this morning," she confessed.
Hatorra nodded.
"Well, you're okay now. That's what matters," she said smiling.
Kat gave her a weak smile and nodded. They all headed back inside and were about to go back to the table when Koenma appeared. Yusuke jumped.
"Stop doing that! Popping up out of nowhere will get you a spirit gun in the face!" he yelled at the new king.
Koenma rolled his eyes and sighed.
"I suppose you heard about the islands?" he said more than asked.
The group nodded.
"Botan said she had to head back to the Reikai early because of all the souls she had to cross over. Said it fell from the sky in a burning mass," Yusuke summarized.
Koenma nodded.
"I don't know who's doing this, but I'm sure they're doing it because they do not like this change in power that's occurring," he said upset.
"There's talk of hostile takeovers, rebellion, war," he said worriedly.
"What do you need us to do Koenma?" Yusuke asked unsurely.
Koenma shook his head.
"Not much you can do I'm afraid. I'm just ranting," he said smiling weakly.
"I can try to talk to Yomi again. See if I can get him to reconsider his options," Kurama spoke up.
"Mukuro is no threat to you Koenma, she just wants to prepare her territory for change," Hiei said calmly.
"And I'm no trouble so the only problem here is Yomi. We don't want war Kurama, but if he doesn't back down, we have to protect our territories as well," Yusuke said, finally sounding like a king.
Kurama nodded.
"Agreed."
The next chapter takes place two years from this moment. Trust me I am setting it up for many explosive plot twist goodness! I am introducing everything for a reason: Kat's demon form change, the Islands burning, changes in power. Everything will be explained. It all comes together. I hope you like it! More to come! Please remember to try to give me reviews! I love them! :D
Also, because I was asked: In the next chapter Kasei will be 5 and a half. I have to figure out how far apart I separated the kids to tell you the others ages. lol
