Chapter 3
“This is so not going to end well.”
Yuki frowned as she
watched two of the three thieves disappear from the clearing as her brother
entered; without thought; into the circle of sunshine. From what he had told her this wouldn’t be an
easy mission; so couldn’t he get a bit more serious?
“But then…he wouldn’t be Yusuke-nii would
he?”
She wasn’t sure how
but she knew that the other two thieves hadn’t gone far. But she didn’t think they would attack
either.
“From watching them earlier something tells me they have more honor
than most street fighters we come across and more than likely have more honor
than even some of the ‘best’ martial artists these days. They won’t attack from behind while Yusuke-nii is distracted by another fight.”
Listening to the
little conversation in the clearing Yuki took a careful look at the orb in the
‘mans’ hand; she could see the horns much better than her brother could. She had always been able to see things like
that for some reason; she had just never bothered to mention it to anyone,
preferring to keep her silence lest her brother and mother decide she was too
weird and abnormal to keep around.
“But something tells me this is different than the fights we normally
get into. This guy isn’t just gonna let that orb go.
And I have to be careful…despite everything I am still a kid; and the
orb has an easier time collecting children’s souls, meaning my own is at risk.”
Emerald eyes widened
as a shiver ran up the young girls spine. Turning her head quickly; making sure to
never truly turn her back to the fight she knew was about to begin in the
clearing; she looked up into the trees behind her.
“Something’s there. I know it.”
0000000000000000000
Kurama blinked in
shock as he caught sight of the equally emerald gaze of the little girl below
him. She was looking right at him;
granted, he was positive she couldn’t see him through the trees but it was
still a rare thing; especially in one so obviously young.
“Hn. Stupid fox.”
Kurama smiled
slightly; keeping his eyes trained on the girl as her gaze shifted to where
Hiei had just appeared.
“I know you do not
approve of my devotion to my mother but I have made up my mind Hiei.”
Hiei glared at the
crouched red head, stolen sword at his side.
“Hn.”
Kurama chuckled and
nodded his head down to where the girl was still staring intensely at their
hiding place.
“Still, isn’t this
interesting.”
Hiei blinked his wide
red eyes before glancing down to where the red headed fox was looking. Eyes widening as they met wide emerald green
eyes Hiei stiffened.
“Don’t worry Hiei;
she can’t actually see us. I believe she
may just be sensing us…not that it looks like she understands that though.”
Hiei relaxed slightly
and nodded, his eyes still on the girl. It was true, he
could see the confusion in her eyes as those jewel toned orbs scanned the area
around their hiding place.
“Hn. Why would the detective bring a child along
when looking for an orb that absorbs children’s souls the easiest?”
Kurama’s brows
furrowed in thought as he watched the child below them.
“Not
sure really. From the looks of
things and from what I have heard this ‘detective’ is new to all of this. Perhaps he didn’t think much of it.”
Hiei frowned deeper.
“Hn. Only means he is even stupider than I originally
gave him credit for. I doubt he will
even make it through the fight with Gouki.”
Kurama frowned;
glancing at his partner out of the corner of his eye. He had known Hiei since the other demon had
found him nearly four years earlier, but he was having trouble understanding
the others plans at the moment.
“I’ve been meaning to
ask you about that actually. I know why
you asked me to come along on this little ‘mission’ with you but why
Gouki? He is merely a run of the mill criminal;
he’s not even that strong.”
Hiei glanced down at
the red head before returning his gaze to the now cautious child below.
“Hn. You’re right about that, but I had no
intention of leaving him alive after this anyway, the detective down there just
complicated things a bit.”
Kurama smiled gently,
keeping half his attention on the fight now starting in the clearing.
“Oh? Does that mean you plan on killing be too?”
Red eyes rolled.
“Stupid fox; the
reason I chose you as my ally is so that I wouldn’t have to fight you myself.”
Kurama chuckled,
turning his attention back to the fight and the tense child.
“If
you say so Hiei.”
Hiei glared at the
three thousand year old spirit fox in human form.
“Hn. Stupid Fox.”
It was as both their
attention returned to the fight that their sensitive demon hearing caught the
strangled scream from below.
“The Child!”
00000000000000000000
Yuki knew there was
someone in the trees behind her; two someone’s actually. And if she had to take a guess she would say
it was the other two thieves. But why
had they stuck around when her brother had clearly made his orders and
intentions known to all three?
Emerald eyes blinked
as, back tense, she turned back to the fight her brother and the soul eating
Gouki had begun. For some reason she
could tell something was wrong here.
From what she had been able to hear before her brother had interrupted
the three demons, the ones called Kurama and Hiei seemed to be of a higher
intelligence and perhaps even power than the other thief, Gouki.
“Gah!”
Emerald eyes widened
in shock and panic and Yuki quickly turned her entire attention onto her brother’s
fight; never realizing that this would ultimately be her down fall.
“…Yusuke-nii… Gah! Ahh!”
Pain twisted through
her small frame as she doubled over, clutching her midriff as pain like she had
never experienced ripped through her.
“…What?”
A sharp stab of pain
knocked her to her knees.
“It hurts…oh kami it hurts!”
“Gah…Ah!”
Clenching her teeth
Yuki clutched her arms around herself tighter still; trying her best to fight
off whatever was causing her so much pain.
“Hang in there child!”
Not even shock and
slight fear could over ride the pain she was feeling at the familiar voice of
the red haired thief. What were they
doing down here? What did they know
about what was happening to her? Was…was
this the orbs doing?
“…The….orb?”
Red eyes entered her
vision, scanning over her form wordlessly for a moment before she saw the
short, black haired demon give a curt nod.
“Hn.”
Emerald eyes entered
her vision just as another sharp stab of pain, worst than all the rest stabbed
through her, causing her to finally scream out and collapse. The last thing she felt was a pair of strong
arms catching her before she ever had a chance to hit the ground before she
lost all sense of self.
“No….”
0000000000000000000000
Hiei caught the girl
before she ever hit the ground, his speed aiding him in catching the now
soulless child. Kurama’s brows furrowed
as both demons watched as the girls soul fought valiantly to return to her
body.
“She must have a huge
amount of untapped power for her soul to fight so valiantly against an object
such as the orb.”
Hiei nodded sharply,
keen eyes taking in the girls soulless gaze before he
swung his cloak off and quickly began wrapping it around the girl. Kurama blinked, turning away as the girls soul lost the fight and retreated to the orb.
“Hiei…what are you
doing?”
Hiei glared as he
lifted the slight girl into his arms, cradling her carefully.
“Hn. …She’s a child.”
Kurama blinked,
nodding slowly.
“Yes. A human child Hiei. I wouldn’t think you would want to actually
get involved with her.”
Hiei’s glare upped a
notch as he turned his back on the fight and began to walk further into the
forest, the child still securely in his arms.
“Hn. I won’t leave a child like that Kurama. I may be cold but I won’t harm someone who
cannot defend themselves.”
Kurama nodded; still
slightly confused; and followed quickly after the short fire demon after one
last glance at the fight between the spirit detective and Gouki.
“That’s true but…Hiei
you do realize that unless the detective gets the orb back in a day or so that
girl’s soul is going to be devoured don’t you?”
Hiei glanced back at
the fox before scoffing.
“Her soul fought to
return to her body so I doubt it will simply stay complacent while someone
tries to eat it.”
Kurama chuckled as he
walked beside the other demon, glancing down into the blank emerald eyes so
like his own.
“I guess your
right…but still.”
“Hn?”
Kurama frowned as
they came out to the main street and continued on their way to his home.
“She is rather young
but…tell me you felt what I felt while we were there.”
Hiei glanced up at
the other as he smoothly avoided all the humans.
“Hn…you mean the
change in temperature.”
Kurama nodded.
“Yes it did seem to
be much colder near her but I was also talking about the energy flowing around
her. It was chaotic but also vast.”
Hiei nodded.
“Hn. Yes I noticed. What about it?”
Kurama shrugged.
“Nothing really; it
just seems that this little slip of a girl, this girl that obviously holds
quite a bit of power; has somehow managed to slip under Spirit Worlds notice.”
Hiei blinked and
shrugged as he moved aside for the other to open the door to the house. He had to admit; if only to himself; that spirit world overlooking a being-even if that
being was human- with such a large amount of power at such a young age was odd
and intriguing but he had no idea what the fox may have been implying with that
statement.
“You can lay her on
my bed Hiei. I’ll watch over her as much
as I can with my mother in the hospital.”
Hiei nodded sharply
and set the child gently on the bed, not bothering to remove his cloak from the
still girl as he did. Throwing one last
glance at his partner Hiei flitted out the window without a word. Kurama smiled slightly as he watched the
other go before looking at the still cloak covered girl.
“Your code won’t
allow you to hurt this girl will it Hiei?
And it also won’t allow you to leave her unprotected, so you will be
back I’m sure. I know of your past Hiei. Do you see yourself in this child? Or perhaps, this sister you have been looking
for all this time?”
Smiling to himself
Kurama shook his head in amusement before going about making the girl
comfortable, making sure to leave Hiei’s cloak on her. In any case they would simply have to wait
and hope the detective was able to get the orb and return the girls soul to
her. Or Hiei might go after Gouki just
to get this child’s soul back. Who knew. All there was
to do was wait.

A/N: …Well
that was different. I really hadn’t
expected this chapter to come out as it did.
