Chapter 5
Yuki whimpered
quietly as pain tore through her body.
She was in pain and for once in her life she was cold. She was always told that her touch was cold
but never before had she truly felt it.
She could only remember being cold once, many years ago; and it was a
cold that had nearly killed her then infant form.
“Relax. If you tense it will only hurt more.”
Yuki winced at the
words though the tone was low and calm; not harsh as she had half
expected. She should have known not to
tense up but it wasn’t exactly easy to stay relaxed while the older ones
strong, calloused hands worked heat through her half frozen form.
“Sorry. It’s just…”
Hiei grunted,
finishing up with the child’s arms and moving up to her neck.
“Hn. Difficult I know.”
Yuki hummed in
agreement, unable to move her neck as the demon warmed and worked away the cold
and pain.
“Yes.”
Yuki paused, casting
her eyes away to look out the window at the slowly darkening sky.
“You name is Hiei
right?”
Hiei paused briefly
in his work; caught off guard by the question but answered all the same.
“Hn. Yes.”
Yuki hummed once
again, this time in acknowledgement.
“Could you tell me
more about the artifacts you and Kurama stole from Rekai?”
Hiei paused once
more, tilting his head to catch the child’s emerald green eyes with his own
ruby gaze. He wasn’t sure what he
expected to see in the eyes of this little human girl but it wasn’t what he saw
reflected in that young, honest gaze.
She was honestly curious and a bit worried; about who
though he wasn’t sure.
He knew he probably
shouldn’t tell her. There was no need
for the child to get any more involved than she already was. But for some he reason he felt that it was
needed. That for some reason the girl
deserved and needed to know.
“Hn. You know of the Orb yes?”
Yuki nodded, turning
on the black haired demons lap to see him better, leaning sideways against the
others chest.
“Yes. It captures the souls of children.”
Hiei nodded, hiding
his surprise at the child’s repositioning as he continued to work the ice and
unnatural cold from her small form.
“Almost. It can capture any soul though children are
the easiest.”
Yuki nodded, gritting
her teeth against another wave of pain.
Hiei noticed this but knew he could only continue his work and distract
her as much as possible so continued.
“Hn. What Kurama has is the Forlorn Hope; a mirror
that will grant the users greatest desire for a price.”
Yuki blinked, looking
up at the other demon as she waited for the last artifact to be described to
her.
“The one I hold is
called the Shadow Sword…it transforms any human it cuts into the lowest level
of demon, a strong but slow creature.
The only antidote for the transformation is within the sword itself.”
He didn’t know why he
told her this. It wasn’t like she would
have need for the information; for some reason he felt the need to protect her
from having to see such things. Yuki
nodded her understanding; absorbing and storing the information given to her
and looking for anything she did not know or understand.
“Do you know what the
price is for the Forlorn Hope?”
Hiei hesitated; now
leaning up against the headboard of the bed with the little girl still situated
on his lap. Should he tell her
this? She already knew that Kurama had
gone out to use it tonight.
“Life.”
Yuki’s eyes widened.
“Life?! So the user has to give his life as the price?!”
Hiei nodded, finished
working the ice and pain from the girl.
“Yes. That is the price Kurama will have to pay.”
Yuki frowned, looked
out the window from her spot on the demons lap.
“I somehow doubt it
will be Kurama who pays the price.
Knowing my brother he will jump in without thinking and offer his own
life as the price.”
Hiei raised a brow;
the detective couldn’t really be that reckless could he?
“…He’s not that
reckless is he?”
Yuki laughed; highly
amused at the others doubt.
“You obviously don’t
know my brother. He isn’t the one to
think before jumping into a situation.”
Hiei stared into the
child’s amused yet serious emerald eyes.
“He
just….jumps in without a plan.”
Yuki raised a brow,
seeing the incredulous astonishment in those odd ruby eyes.
“Sort
of. He may go in with no other
plan then to kick ass but he often makes up plans on the fly if his original
plan meets with some flaws.”
Hiei snorted, looking
out the window at the full moon.
“They’ll be doing it
soon.”
Yuki too looked out
the window and frowned, worry in her eyes.
She knew there was nothing she could do in the shape she was in. It was true that she was in considerably less
pain but she was still cold and she still felt the traces of pain. But all of that was over powered by a more
bothersome thing. She felt tired but had
just woken up.
Yuki held back a
shiver as she yawned, leaning back against the black haired demons chest. She truly wanted to help. From what she had seen Kurama seemed to be a
good person. And she didn’t want either
of them to die tonight; or at all for that matter. She yawned again, despite her efforts.
Hiei glanced down at
her, ruby eyes scolding as he shifted her to cradle in his strong arms like an
infant, tucking his cloak tighter around her.
“Hn. Sleep.
Your body needs more rest to recover and adjust.”
Yuki looked up at him
tiredly before glancing back out the window where they could now see a great
pillar of light.
“But…”
Hiei grunted; annoyed
that the obviously tired girl was fighting sleep and quickly opened his Jagan
eye without her notice, quickly checking on both his partner and the detective
before closing the eye and turning his attention to the half asleep girl.
“Hn. Both are fine.”
Yuki turned drowsy
eyes up to his own and searched his eyes for any lies. Finding none she smiled and cuddled further
into his warm body; drawing heat from him to warm her even colder than normal
body.
“I’m glad. Thank you…Hiei-kun.”
Hiei blinked at the
address and looked down at the child with wide eyes. Not even Kurama; who had been his partner for
years; had ever called him that. To
think that this child; someone who hasn’t even known him a day would feel
comfortable and safe enough with him to sleep in his presence and call him
‘Hiei-kun’ was…surprising to say the least.
Hiei frowned in
thought as he looked out the window at the full moon. He was the Forbidden Child and had been alone
all his life. Even when he did have
people he thought would stay by him they didn’t. But he had never felt anything like what this
little human girl was making him feel.
He had never cared about anyone but himself but he found himself protective
of the girl.
Growling low in his
throat Hiei stood; making sure to keep the sleeping child held securely in his
arms; and grabbed the Shadow Sword, strapping it to his waist before looking
back into the room. Kurama wouldn’t be
back for quite some time he knew. He
would stay by the side of his human mother and watch over her until the humans
in charge there sent him home.
And while he could
easily use his Jagan to locate the girls home Hiei wasn’t sure if that was the
best course of action. Looking down into
the peaceful face Hiei’s brow furrowed and his frown deepened.
“No; taking her home would be the best course of action. I will not have her involved in a battle in
the state she’s in. I will take her to
her home to rest and check in on her from time to time.”
Slightly
frustrated with himself and his new attachment to the human girl Hiei growled
lowly; calming only when the child whimpered in her sleep and curled closer to
his body.
“Hn. In any case the girl; Yuki;
would run the chance of getting injured should she be there. Her body will no doubt cause her pain for a
number of days as her soul and powers settle.”
Opening his Jagan
with a sigh Hiei quickly searched out the girls brother and then traced his
energy to the home that both of their energies lingered in. Keeping his Jagan open as a guide he looked
around once more before jumping out the window into the night, flitting away to
the girls home.
000000000000000000000
Entering the room
that was obviously the child’s bedroom Hiei grunted and wrinkled his nose in
disgust as his sensitive nose was hit with the smell of alcohol and garbage.
“Ugh! What is with that putrid
smell?”
Taking a chance Hiei
moved to the door and looked out and down the hall, scowling when he caught
sight of the drunken woman stumbling around, dumping her garbage everywhere and
heading towards the door.
“Yuki…Yusuke…mama is
goin’ out for some fun! Ha ha! See ya later!!!”
Hiei scowled as the
woman shut the door but failed to lock it behind her as he had seen Kurama and
his mother do time and time again. Her
daughter hadn’t been home for days and he knew for a fact that the detective hadn’t
been here often as of late. Was the
woman really drunk so often that she hadn’t noticed her children were gone?
“Mmm…Moms
gone out again huh?”
Hiei looked down to
where drowsy emerald eyes were looking at the door.
“Hn. Does she always do that?”
Yuki blinked up at
him as he turned and took them back into her room, shutting the door behind
them with his foot.
“She’s gotten better;
I guess. Yusuke-anii said she was a lot
worse before he brought me home. And I
remember she was worse before and during Yusuke-anii’s death.”
She yawned, cuddling
further into his chest as he sat on the side of her bed. He was confused by what was said but put it
aside, knowing she was too tired to really answer much more and instead looked
around the room. There wasn’t much in
it, the room itself pretty much bare of anything he would have expected to see
in the room of a human child.
There were no toys like
those he had seen other children with in the parks, and it wasn’t done in
flashy colors or anything like that. In
fact the room was rather devoid of most things.
There was a book shelf on one wall filled with books; some of them he
remembered seeing in Kurama’s room; others he had no idea about. There was also a bed with green coverings and
a table and lamp beside that with a closet in one corner.
Looking for any sort
of decorations or pictures on the walls Hiei frowned when he saw only one. It looked like a photo of the siblings; a
younger Yusuke Urameshi kneeling behind a much smaller Yuki with his around her
and his head resting on hers, both smiling at the camera. Other than that there was nothing and for
some reason that bothered Hiei.
Putting those
thoughts from his mind for the time being he set the drowsy child on the bed,
ignoring her whine for the moment and moved to her closet, frowning as he
opened it to find mostly school uniforms and clothes that had obviously once
belonged to her brother. Looking through
the closet he pulled out a large T-shirt and a pair of baggy shorts as he
spoke.
“Is the house always
filled with garbage?”
Yuki sat up, wrapping
the cloak tighter around herself as she watched the
demon route through her closet unconcerned.
“I try to keep it
clean and Aniki helps too on occasion but I guess since I’ve been gone and
Aniki’s been busy no one has done it.
Mother has probably been to drunk and only adding to the mess. I’ll deal with it tomorrow.”
Hiei frowned as he
turned back to the girl and passed her the clothes he had found for her; gently
unwrapping her from his cloak and wrapping it back
around himself. Seeing her shiver he
began to channel his ki into the cloak.
“Go take a warm
shower and get changed. It should help
with some of the cold and the pain.”
Yuki hesitated,
looking briefly at the clothes in her hand then back to Hiei.
“Will you still be
here when I get back?”
Hiei hesitated,
looking into the girls desperate eyes for a moment before answering.
“If your brother is
not here or nearby then yes I will be.
Now go.”
Yuki smiled brightly
and jumped carefully from her bed to hug the fire demon.
“Thank you Hiei-kun!”
Watching her rush
from the room Hiei blinked; confused by the emotions the child was invoking in
him. He did not know why he was angered
over the child’s lack of clothes or things of the like that he had seen other
human children with but he knew it had something to do with why he was so drawn
to her.
Shaking himself from
his thoughts Hiei looked towards the open bedroom door and scowled as the smell
once again reached his nose.
“Hn! How can anyone live with this
putrid smell in the air?”
Shaking it off Hiei
settled down against the bed as he continued to send his ki into the cloak;
warming the material while the Jagan began imprinting his ki signature and
scent upon it without his knowledge.
Once he heard the shower turn off he looked up and waited for the child
to once again enter the room.
When she did he
growled low in his throat. The clothes
were old and very obviously not meant for her.
They were obviously her brothers and from what he had seen of their
mother he could see why she wore her brother’s hand me down clothes. The woman obviously didn’t work.
Yuki heard the growl
and looked confusedly up at the fire demon on her bed. Why was he upset?
Seeing the child’s
concern Hiei pushed his anger to the back of his mind and stood from the bed,
motioning her forward. He was shocked
when she showed no hesitation in walking right up to him and looked down into
honest and trusting emerald eyes before he shook himself out of his shock.
Taking off his now
heated cloak he wrapped it securely back around her form; watching her sigh in
contentment as the soothing warmth hit her form.
“Hn. I’ll leave this with you.”
Yuki looked up; upset
that the other was leaving. She
understood a bit why she didn’t want him to leave. She could admit that she was lonely. Her mother was barely home or always drunk
and other than her brother; whom she loved dearly; she had no one. The kids at school all thought her a freak
because of her too cold skin and shunned her, leaving her nothing to do other
than study and skip school to spend even more time with the only one who gave
her attention and affection on a daily basis.
Well that wasn’t
really true she supposed. There was
someone else who gave her attention but she knew there was most likely an
ulterior motive behind it. Keiko
Ukimura; a nice girl really but she just didn’t have the same fondness for the
girl that her brother did. She knew
Keiko hated that her brother skipped and she had even lectured her on not
skipping so Yusuke would behave and stay in school with her.
She knew Keiko loved
her brother but she didn’t want them to be together. She knew; with certainty; that sooner or
later Keiko would break her brother’s heart and she didn’t want that. She knew they would survive as best friends
but nothing more. Her brother deserved
better and she would see to it that he found the person who would accept him as
he was. When Keiko got over her little
infatuation maybe she would be a decent sister figure but as of now she was too
over bearing and controlling; something neither of the Urameshi siblings really
liked as they had never had a controlling figure in their lives.
Hiei and Kurama were
the first people; other than her brother; to show her true attention and even
some affection. They hadn’t even
flinched away from her cold touch. She
wanted their friendship and companionship.
And she didn’t want them to leave her; something she knew would happen
should the Spirit World decide them guilty of their crimes and lock them away.
While she had not
spent much time with Kurama she could tell that he was a good person even
though she sensed something else within him and didn’t want to see him hurt or
killed. Hiei on the other hand; she knew
she couldn’t bear to see him hurt or killed.
For some reason the thought of it hurt more than she could have thought
possible. The thought of Hiei’s death
brought up feelings she hadn’t felt since her brother’s funeral. Butt for some reason; the thought of his
death hurt even more than her brothers or Kurama’s. She didn’t know why.
All she knew was that
she was drawn to Hiei; wanted to spend as much time as she could with him and
wouldn’t allow for him and Kurama to be hurt in any way by the Spirit World.
“You really have to
go?”
Hiei looked down into
emerald eyes; seeing her despair and felt his own
heart clench in his chest. Why was it that just a look from this small human child could
make him feel what no one else had ever made him feel before; not even his
sister had ever made him feel like this as he had watched her from afar in
their youth.
Shaking off those
thoughts for contemplation at a later date Hiei followed his instincts and the
instincts of the Jagan and sat back on the bed, drawing her into his arms and
pressing his forehead; and therefore his Jagan; to own.
“I have things that
need to be done. And your brother will
be home soon.”
Yuki frowned, upset
that her friend was leaving her.
“Can I…Can I come
with you?”
Hiei blinked; not
having expected that question before softly shaking his head.
“No. This isn’t something you should be involved
with. It will take some time before your
soul and powers settle and you will be in some pain for a while. You must rest here.”
Yuki frowned, tears
forming in her eyes as she hugged the fire demon closer to her.
“I don’t want you to
go. If you go then I’ll be alone again.”
Hiei frowned at the
words and drew the child back to look into her eyes; aware of his Jagan opening
but ignoring it for the moment.
“What do you mean
alone? You have that detective brother
of yours.”
Yuki sniffled
slightly.
“Yes but he has this
detective work to do and despite what I want I know I will only be in the way
if I try to help. I’m not strong enough
yet.”
Hiei felt his eyes
narrow as he looked down at the little girl and felt his Jagan at work; doing
what he wasn’t looking into at the moment.
“Yet?”
Yuki caught the
slight tone of warning in his voice and looked up.
“I’ll stand by my
brother and fight; even if I have to train myself.”
Hiei looked into her
eyes, seeing her determination and frowned again.
“Hn. You will do no such thing. I will train you when I get back. As I am sure Kurama will as well. It is dangerous to try training on your
own. Your ice could very well kill you.”
He knew his tone was
slightly harsh and scolding but he needed to make sure this got through to the
child. He would not have her killing
herself from trying to train her own powers and ending up getting stabbed with
a spike of ice.
Yuki’s eyes widened
at the reprimand in looked down.
“You promise?”
Hiei blinked as he
felt a connection settle between his mind and the child’s, now aware of what
the Jagan had been doing.
“Hn. I promise.
Now get in bed, your brother and his Grim Reaper friend are coming and I
have to go.”
Yuki bit her lip but
nodded anyway and climbed into her bed once Hiei stood; wrapping his cloak
tighter around her as he pulled the blankets up around her. Watching as the fire demon prepared to leave
Yuki bit her lip again and sat up.
“Wait!”
Hiei paused and
looked back to see her motioning him over to her. Brow furrowing Hiei did as asked and came
over to her.
Once he was close
enough she smiled and pulled him down to her level to press a kiss to his
check. Pulling back and meeting his wide
ruby eyes with a smile and a light blush she spoke quietly as she heard her
brother slam open the front door and come rushing into the house.
“Thank you
Hiei-kun. And please be careful.”
Hiei nodded and
flitted out the window; eyes still wide and confused; just moments before
Yuki’s bedroom door was slammed open by her out of breath
brother.
Looking over at her
brother Yuki smiled brightly; pushing her blush down.
“I’m back Aniki. Sorry if
I worried you.”
Yusuke eyes his
sister; taking in the black cloth she was wrapped in but dismissing it for the
moment in favor of his sister. Ignoring
Botan as she came up behind him Yusuke moved forward and wrapped his sister in
a hug, apologizing over and over for not protecting her as he should have.
Yuki smiled and
hugged him in return; assuring him that she was fine and in no way blamed
him.
Botan smiled as she
watched the reunion between the siblings but frowned lightly when the girl
caught her eyes with her own, clearly expressing their need to talk.
Smiling as she knew
the Spirit Guide understood Yuki pulled back from her brother and looked him in
the eyes. Taking in
his tired form with a slight frown before putting on a smile.
“Aniki, I’m hungry
and I know you are. Can you make some
Ramen for us while I get to know your helper?”
Yusuke nodded after
making sure his sister was really okay and stood to do as she asked; throwing a
quick introduction over his shoulder as he left.
“Oh yeah; Yuki this
is Botan, Botan this is Yuki.”
Both girls nodded as
they stared each other down, one measuring the other and finding her to be much
better than Keiko and the other looking over the one who had had Yusuke so
worried. Once her brother was gone from
the room Yuki gestured to her bed, offering a seat which Botan took. Yuki smiled at the girl as she met her pink
eyes with her own emerald ones; this girl could help her protect those she
wanted to, she just knew it.
“Botan-neesan, I have
a favor to ask of you.”
Botan blinked in
surprise at the honorific but nodded.
“I’ll do what I can
Yuki-chan.”
Yuki nodded and
leaned back against her pillow.
“I need to see…King
Enma I believe, as soon as possible.
Tomorrow would probably be best.”
Botan blinked for a
moment before her eyes widened in shock and she jumped off the bed.
“You want to what?!”
Yuki frowned and
quickly shushed the girl; she didn’t want her brother to know of her plans, he
would try to stop her and she couldn’t have that.
“You heard me. I have some things to discuss with him; the
most important being the fate of Kurama and Hiei.”
Botan’s eyes widened.
“The
thieves?! How
do you know them?!”
Yuki clutched Hiei’s
cloak tighter to her; catching his scent coming off of it and wanting nothing
more than to bury her nose in it and go to sleep.
“They were the ones
that took care of me while I was without my soul. They did not harm me and took care of
me. Now I will do the same.”
Botan frowned, biting
her lip in worry.
“I don’t know about
getting you an audience with King Enma himself but…I can take you to Lord
Koenma tomorrow and let him know of your wish to speak with his father.”
Yuki nodded, knowing
it was the best she would get.
“That’s fine. I’ll meet you here after Yusuke leaves for
school in the morning.”
Botan nodded; still
worried but pushed it aside as Yusuke came back with the Ramen his sister had
asked for. She had no idea what the
little girl had in mind but if she had known she would have never agreed as she
had.
Yuki watched as her
brother ate and spoke of what she had missed, thinking over what she planned to
do. Clutching the cloak to her as she
drifted off Yuki nodded to herself.
“Yes this is the right thing to do.
I will protect them both as they protected me. No matter what.”
00000000000000000
Standing on the roof
of a warehouse Hiei brought his hand to his cheek in confusion. Why had she done that? What had she done? Hiei shook his head to dispel his thoughts
though they only moved a bit further back.
“I’ll ask Kurama later; the fox should know. But right now I have things to do.”
Checking one last
time on the now sleeping child with his Jagan eye Hiei flitted off to get
everything ready. He would make sure he
didn’t fail as the others had.

A/N: …Alright I can admit this got away
from me. This was so not what was
planned for this chapter but hey at least there was some more Hiei/Yuki
interaction! Other than that it is
pretty long and I had fun with it. Even
though it definitely got away from me and decided what it wanted to happen on
its own.
*glares at smirking plunnies* I’ll get you guys with the next story
I swear. Anyway I am trying to update as
many things as I can as my vacation comes to an end but as of now I have no
idea what is going to be updated and when or even how much. I’m just kind of going with what ever the
plunnies say. Anyway, please Review and
I hope everyone enjoyed!
