Ch. 10: You can actually sing, and is that really you, Naomi?
The person walked up and just stared at me with the crimson eyes of pure disgust. "Well it appears we have a winner, and what do you know its one of my acquaintances, Hiei", I said kind of shocked. "Well, as I said before we are going to go back stage and see if he can sing, so for right now toodles", I said grabbing his hand and running back stage. "Why didn't you just not own up to your ticket", I asked. "What is that supposed to mean", he asked. "Can you even sing, Hiei", I asked. "Just don't test me and let me go up there and we will see what happens. By the way what is the song", he asked. "It's Broken by Seether and Amy Lee", I said. "Yeah, I can do that", he said. "Are you sure", I asked. "Just trust me. You are about to see a side of me that no one has seen before", he said. We then made our way back on stage, and a microphone was set up for him as well. "Well, apparently the boy can sing or so he says, so in our musical styling is Broken by Seether and Amy Lee", I said and then the music and the fear started.
Hiei: I wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
And I keep your photograph, I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Both: Because I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Hiei: You've gone away, you don't feel me here anymore
Me: The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain
Both: away
Me: There's so much left to learn
Both: and no one left to fight
Me: I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Both: Because I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
Because I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Both: Because I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
Because I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Both: 'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone
Hiei: away
Both: You've gone away,
Hiei: you don't feel me here anymore
When the song ended the whole crowd cheered, but me and everybody that knew Hiei just starred at him. I never knew he had a voice that strong and beautiful. However, before I could say anything he was already off stage. I then finally snapped out of my daze and smiled at the crowd. "Well here is my last song before my big finale", I said. They all cheered but quieted when I began to speak, "The next song is also called Broken but its by Lindsay Haun", I said and the music began.
Wake up to a sunny day, not a cloud up in the sky
And then it starts to rain
My defenses hit the ground and they shatter all around
So open and exposed
I found strength in the struggle
Face to face with my trouble
When you're broken in a million little pieces
And you're tryin', but you can't hold on anymore
Every tear falls down for a reason
Don't you stop believing in yourself when you're broken
Little girl don't be so blue, I know what you're goin' through
Don't let it beat you up
Hitting walls and getting scars only makes you who you are
Only makes you who you are
No matter how much your heart is aching
There is beauty in the breaking, yeah
When you're broken in a million little pieces
And you're tryin' but you can't hold on anymore
Every tear falls down for a reason
Don't you stop believing in yourself when you're broken
Better days are gonna find you once again
Every piece will find its place
When you're broken, oh when you're broken
When you're broken in a million little pieces
And you're tryin' but you can't hold on anymore
Every tear falls down for a reason
Don't you stop believing in yourself when you're broken
Oh, when you're broken
When you're broken, when you're broken
At this song I also had tears streaming down my face and so did some of the audience. However, my voice never faltered I stayed strong. Then I spoke, "Alright my dark light peoples, the angel of darkness has arrived", I said and this time the crowd was basically screaming and chanting 'Angel Of Darkness'. I dried my eyes, unbuttoned my shirt and stood there singing in my sports bra, skirt and boots when the music played which shocked the audience.

I heard the crowd cheering and went to say thank you for having me there, but something stopped me. I heard a little girls voice saying mommy, and I looked down and saw the most precious little girl standing there looking at me with tears in her eyes. Her name escaped my lips, I knew instantly who she was. "Nay.. Naomi", I said and fell straight to my knees. This however alerted Hiei and Kurama and they were on the stage within five seconds of me falling. When they got to me, I looked up with a weak expression and the little girl, my little girl had vanished. I just put my head in my lap and cried. This however caused both Kurama and Hiei to look at each other with confused expressions. Finally I got the strength to stand up, and walked over to Toya by myself collected the money I had made and left without saying a word to anyone. I figured this way it was better and that nobody had to know what had happened.
As I walked to where I knew there was a portal set up for me by Koemma, I noticed someone following me, and before I knew it, it was too late. The figured was cloaked with a black cloak, and knocked me out before I could use my powers or scream. He carried me to somewhere I was unsure of, all I knew is that I was being toted and not very gently. I could hear two voices talking one was a voice I had heard before, and the other was a voice that was very mysterious. I knew one of the voices as Sensui's lackey Seaman. He was an expertise with channeling his spirit energy into water. The other voice came known to me as Game-Master. The only way I could figure out is because Seaman had said it.
Back in the day me and Seaman were friends, and we got along great. I can't think of a reason now as to why he would want to kidnap me like this. Then I heard a third voice that sounded like a young child screaming "What did you to my mommy". At this I jolted awake and woke up and just looked at my surroundings. The first thing I noticed was a small child with black and lime green hair that had to what looked to be fox ears on top of her head. "Mommy..", she said trembling. This however cause Seaman, and the so called, Game-Master, to turn around to face me. "So you're awake Isabella", Seaman said.
As soon as he said that a black blur shot through and when the blur became visable there was a knife at Game-Master's neck held by Hiei. "Hiei, drop your weapon in front of my child. If anybody is going to commit a murder here tonight let them take my life and you take my daughter away from these bastards", I said fiercely. Hiei reluctantly dropped his sword. "Actually Isabella no life-taking is needed, we are just returning what is yours. Trust me you can have the little brat she has caused enough trouble for us, and we are just trying to live our lives normally now", he said. "First off don't call my daughter a brat, and secondly what kind of trouble are you talking about", I asked wondering if my worst nightmare was coming true right before my eyes. "Your daughter has taken after her father with her hatred for humans and has went on killing sprees many times, and this past time me and Game-Master were almost blamed", he said.
Horror struck my face looking at the most innocent looking child I had ever seen before in my life. This most beautiful little girl who is only four years old, how could she manage to do this? "How many humans have been killed and why wasn't Spirit World informed about this", I asked. "Thousands have died at the hand of your daughter and Spirit World has not been informed because Sensui gave direct orders for them to not be. However he said nothing about informing you personally", he said almost calmly. This is when I looked down with my bangs covering my eyes. I looked up to look at my daughter and I reached out for her and she pushed me away. "No mommy, you left me with an evil man. That man, my father, he showed me a movie that had things I never wanted to see. He made me watch it every night for four years, and where were you? You were living with these people trying to stop demons from entering the human world, when really the humans are the ones who deserve to die", Naomi said.
I just broke down and cried more knowing exactly what I had to do. I grabbed Hiei's sword out of his sheath, and sliced open my stomach. Then threw his bloody sword on the ground. "Naomi, you can kill me. I am weak enough now with this gash in my stomach that even a demon of your demonic level can kill me. Do this, and never kill a human again. If you do not promise me this, then I will fight back and then we will both die. Take your pick", I said. Just as I said all that every body from our gang was there standing behind me in horror at what I was planning to do. "I can't promise you anything MOTHER, you left me there to die", she said while charging at me. I dodged easily but something cut my stomach deeper, and I flinched in pain and then noticed the fishing type wires everywhere. With one swift move of my hand all of them were down, and charged at her full force, but this time tucking and rolling to grab Hiei's sword and plunging it through her stomach. I knew this would finish her.
After the sword went through she fell to the ground dead. It was not something I wanted to do, but I knew it was what had to be done. I fell to my knees and cried and then after crying for ten minutes I passed out. While I was unconscious, This elderly woman's voice reached my ears. She had managed to revive my daughter, but she was still unconscious as well. Someone picked me up bridal style though I didn't know who it was. All I knew is that whoever it was was really warm, so I nuzzled my head against his chest. After hearing a swooshing sound, I could tell we were in spirit world. Whoever it was carried me to a bed and laid me down. They laid next to me for a while and then I woke up. "Wh-where's my daughter's body", I asked weakly. "She is in a prison cell, where she needs to be", came the reply, and then I knew instantly who it was. "Hiei, you don't have to spare me the details, but if she is alive, then she needs to be put down", I said.
He sat there for a while in complete silence, and then finally spoke, and when he did he was practically yelling at me, "Listen to yourself for minute. Do you realize how hypocritical you're being? Weren't you the one who said you would do anything to save your daughter? Yes, you were, and don't deny it. So what, she killed some humans, hell I have too. However, that still don't change the fact that she is your daughter. You will not put your child through the hell I had to go through", Hiei finished looking at me with a harsh expression. He then after seeing my face, softened his expression noticing that I was upset enough and that he was probably just making it worse. "You're right, but she won't stop no matter what I do. "You know as well as I know that if we don't kill her, humans could find out about demons and then the whole world will be off balance. Either that, or spirit wold will come after her", I said. Hiei processed this for a minute and just nodded. Then he scooted closer to me, and wrapped his arms around me in a comforting hug. "Isabella I am sorry you have to go through this, and I understand your decision now. However, you have to go face Koemma with your decision", he said.
I nodded and started to get up off the bed until he grabbed my arm and I froze. "You're bleeding let me wrap your wound and you sleep in here tonight, and then we will go to Koemma in the morning", he said. All I could do was nod. I couldn't speak. I think he realized this because he left me sitting there on the bed while he went to get the bandages. He came back into the room with bandages and healing ointments that would take the sting out of gash on my stomach. He sat in front of me and every time he would dab the healing ointments on my stomach, I would flinch in pain. He noticed this, and stopped with the ointments. He started to begin to bandage me but then stopped. "Isabella I know you are really out of it right now because you are non-responsive, however, I need you to nod if it is okay to take your shirt and bra off because I can't bandage you if I don't", he said with a slight pink to his cheeks which I barely noticed. I just nodded and gave him full permission. He then removed my shirt and bra and started bandaging me from the waist up to across my breasts. For some reason the when I sliced myself, I sliced diagonally. I sliced from the right side of my waist to in between my breasts.
When he was finished he just handed me one of his muscle shirts, and I put it on and curled up into a little ball. He then laid down beside me, and held me as I lay there trembling from all the stress from today. I had never experienced a pain like that before and it wasn't even the physical pain that bothered me. It was the pain of knowing that I had lost my daughter for good this time. He seemed to have noticed this because he almost lovingly rubbed my back. This however caused me to roll over and put my head and my left arm on his chest. He just rolled over let me do this, and put his right arm around around my waist and reached up to play with my hair again almost lovingly. This, however caused me to pick up my head and look at him. We laid there for the longest time just starring into each others eyes, and for the first time I noticed something different in his eyes. I started to lean down to kiss him, and as I did he was lifting his head up to meet mine. This was one of the most passionate kisses I had ever had before in my long after our little make out session, I was passed out with my arm across his chest and my head also on his chest. We laid there like that for a while, until the nightmares started.
