Curiosity Killed the Cat

 

Last time:

Short flashes of kagome's life with Hiei

 

Ten years have passed since the fatal day Hiei rescued Kagome. In this time Kagome had become somewhat of a daughter to him, sharing together both their pleasures and pains. However things that once seemed so simple were to change, for an ominous cloud was forming over the two, one that would test their bonds to the ends of time; it here in the midst of war that our story truly begins, when Kagome has finally reached her double digits.

“Kagome it's time for dinner,” called Hiei from within the dinning room. There was a sound of little feet running as a raven-haired kid ran into the room straight into Hiei causing them both to fall to the floor laughing.

“Gotcha, I gotcha daddy,” yelled Kagome as she squirmed on top of him. Picking the little girl up Hiei sat her in the chair right beside him. She began to dig in as soon as he sat down, gobbling down ten or twelve spoonfuls at a time. That is until she saw the green colored food. She quickly skipped it and kept eating more until Hiei cleared his throat.

“Ahem,” Kagome stared at him for a moment noodles of spaghetti hanging out of her swollen mouth. Quickly gulping it down her resumed a slower, but still fast pace. Chuckling softly he left his chair before she could see, and caught the spoon before it entered her mouth. Looking up the girl quickly finished the bite before swallowing all of the food in her mouth. However it was at that precise moment Shittie called from the kitchen,

“Chocolate cake, get it before it's gone.” With that she was out of her seat in the blink of an eye zooming straight for the kitchen, not a lima bean touched. All dreams of chocolate cake were short lived though, for her dear father plucked her off the ground a second before she could enter the kitchen.

“Eat the beans and you may have a slice of cake,” demanded Hiei.

“Mwhunhunh,” she said as she shook her head no and clamped her mouth shut. He looked at her for a moment with an eyebrow raised; he got a look in his eye before tickling her mercilessly causing the mouth to open. Shoving five lima beans in him clamped her mouth shut and covered the only ways of escape with his hand. Swallowing the nasty beans she was reminded of something.

“Daddy, where do babies come from?” asked Kagome.

“Well…”

“Why is the grass green?”

“Because…”

“Why is the sky blue?”

“You see…”

“What's a ningen?”

“Where did you here that word?”

“Your funny looking friends said I was a dirty ningen?”

“Which one?”

“The one with blue skin.”

“I see.” Hiei said in a voice of contemplation.

“Daddy, why don't I have a mommy?”

“Sweetheart it's time to go to bed.”

“But daddy…”

“No buts now get.”

“Okay,” Kagome answered. Hiei watched the tired form head upstairs and waited until she was out of sight before letting out a small tiered sigh.

“You should have told he.” Spoke a soft voice from behind him. Turning sharply he stood face to face with Shittie. Her long brown hair was pulled back into two tight braids that cascaded down her back.

“What would I say, Kagome you don't have a mother, you don't even have a father. You just happened to pop out of the sky and fall right on top of me.” He asked sarcastically. “She would send me off to Rekai jail before I got to the end of the tale.”

“You don't know that for sure and besides she loves you, she would never try to hurt you on purpose.”

And that was how the two went each arguing their point back and forth neither realizing that a little girl with raven curls was sitting outside the door listening to every word they said until, she became to tiered and snuck off to bed wondering what her real parents were like and why they left her.

***************************************************************** *******

Kagome woke up at sunrise the next morning. Quickly jumping out of her bed she ran to the closet where she began to sort through. Jumping up she grabbed the hanger and dislodged it from the other clothes tightly packed into the small closet. Falling to the floor she quickly got up and began to dress, when finished she grabbed a pair of shoes underneath her bed then stood in front of the mirror.

Raven hair was held up tightly atop the child's head with braids falling from around it. Sky blue eyes stared through the mirror at the little girl as she looked over everything. She wore dark green tight stretchy pants, a brilliant emerald green top embroider with beautiful gems and silvery buttons that aligned the middle amidst long flowing sleeves. Her shoes were made of leather and were chocolate brown sandals.

Standing up she opened the window in her room and began to silently make her way down the side of the house, however she soon reached a slippery part where she could no longer grasp hold of the wall without slipping. Pushing off she landed gracefully on the ground next to a giant apple tree. Moving swiftly she ran into the woods, making not a sound to the world around her.

After running for about twenty minutes she slowed to a halt in a section of the woods where a small creek trickled through. Sitting down on a nearby rock she began to contemplate everything she had heard last night. While thinking she looked around the room, noticing all of her surroundings.

It was fall, the wind played tag with the trees as they twisted and swayed to catch their invisible friend, whispering words to each other. Leaves littered the ground creating a carpet of gold and brown. The water from the last rain fell softly from steams and leaves of all the plants, some falling with a small KERPLUNK into the glittery stream. All and all the place was a beautiful spot. That is was.

Without noticing Kagome had fallen into a daze at the beauty of her surroundings, totally blocking everything else from her senses. However if the girl had paid attention she would have noticed the snake demon that had been watching her for the past five minutes. But alas, she did not and she was punished for this mistake. The demon attacked, fangs flew for her side with aloud hiss causing her to turn, causing her cut her arm thus emitting a terrified scream.

“Give me the jewel shards now little girl,” demanded the demon.

“Why do you want my pretty rock?” asked Kagome.

“Because Naraku orders it.” Announced the demon proudly. Kagome merely stared at the ignorant demon before ducking to the side as it tried another attack. Flipping around she moved as quickly as her little feet would carry her and did a back flip over it, somehow though it caught her in midair.

“Now I've got you runt.” It stated.

“Ahhhhhhhhh!” was its only reply before its tail was disintegrated from an unexpected miko/spirit blast. Once black eyes turned red at the smell of blood; Flinging forward it prepared to eat the child that was lying helplessly tangled on the ground. Shielding her face she prepared herself from the oncoming attack to find herself in warm arms.

Looking up she saw the familiar face of her father only it was different. She had never seen him so angry before. His eyes were blood red and more eyes were beginning to form all over his body. She felt the temperature falling rapidly as the nearby brook began to freeze.

Her father let loose a feral growl as he drew a katana from under his cloak. Moving faster than light he cut the demon in so small of pieces that a Chief's chopped onions would be put to shame. Feeling dizzy she quickly says…

“Thank you Daddy,” before blacking out completely.
