Chapter 6

 

~*~ Some Where in the forest outside the Den ~*~

 

 

Two demons kept a watchful eye on their child as he slept beneath the cover of a small sampling, wrapped in what few furs they had.

 

“I believe it's time that we got an explanation.” Her voice was nothing but a whisper, fearful of waking her child. Her dark red eyes, nearer to brown, narrowed dangerously. “He owes us that at least.”

 

“I realize this, my dear, but he just Kagome and Souta back. Why don't we give him time to readjust to things?” His eyes, an unusual violet that hinted at an impure heritage, sparkled with sincerity and tranquility. His weapon of choice, a staff, rested on his shoulder as he tried to reason with his mate.

 

“He didn't give us a chance to readjust! So why should we give him that chance?” Her eyes where narrowed into slits as she glared darkly at her lover.

 

“Lower you voice Sango. You don't want to wake up Hideaki do you?” They were silence for a moment, as if expecting their son to suddenly wake up. But when he didn't, they both breathed a sigh of relief before turning back to their conversation. “He was grieving for his loved ones. Now, truly, can you blame the man?”

 

Sango looked taken aback for a second before her fury returned. “I forgave him for that. But I have not forgiven him for breaking his oath! We gave our word that we would listen, obey, and do whatever was in our power to preserve his clan, our clan. In exchange, he would protect us, his family, his clan, with his life if the need arose. But he broke that vow and left us in the middle of the night! So tell me how I could just pass that off as grieving!” Tears had begun to form in her eyes, but she wiped them away before they had a chance to fall.

 

“Sango-”

 

“I'm going to him tomorrow morning, Miroku and I'm taking Hideaki with me. You can come or stay, but I'm going tomorrow and I'm giving that ass a piece of my mind.” Before Miroku could say anything else on the matter, she walked away, heading to where her child was bundled up.

 

“Alright Sango, but I think it would be best if I stay in the shadows, at least until you do something stupid.” He whispered the words to himself as he faded into the shadows. He wasn't going to take any chances of juveniles getting close to his family.

 

~*~ Morning - Cave ~*~

 

Hiei sat in the cave opening, his back resting against the ruff surface. He had checked on Kagome early to find her still sleeping, Souta wrapped in her arms. He had been tempted to join them, but decided against it when he had heard Yusuke and Kuwabara bickering. The last thing he wanted were the two idiots to figure out exactly who Kagome and Souta were to him. So far he had been lucky and he'd been too busy hunting and smoking meat for Kurama to question him too deeply on the matter. Now, however, his careful screening had come down to this one event.

 

Would Sango leave the shadows of the forest to confront him or would she wait till the others where gone?

 

He thought he had sensed her and Miroku last night, when Kagome had emerged from the forest, but he hadn't been sure. Now, however, there was no mistaken their presence and there was no mistaken the female's angry, fear, and confusing that radiated off her aura.

 

“Why don't they just attack us already?” Yusuke sighed as he glared at the forest. “I mean, whoever's out there, has been out there all morning! What are they waiting for?” He dropped to his bottom beside Hiei.

 

“Hn. They wish to deal with me, Detective and not you. They have no intention in killing anyone here.” Getting to his feet, he glared at his teammates. “Stay out of this.” Giving them their warning, Hiei moved away from his den. Standing in the center of Souta's play yard, he surveyed the forest in front of him.

 

“Sango, I believe you wished to speak with me?” He knew that, probably, if he just waited inside his den with his teammates that she would have left, but that would be unfair. Had he made her and Miroku a promise, an oath? Considering himself a man of his word, his honor and pride would not allow him to ignore his lost clan mates any longer.

 

Upon Hiei finishing his sentence, a blur of black and pink materialized several feet from him. He looked at Sango for the first time in over ten years. He watched as she deposited her child on the ground behind her and he instinctually warmed the air. That child was the child of his clan mate, meaning that the child fell under his responsibility to help care for.

 

Looking up from the child, he met Sango's brownish colored eyes. “You wished to speak with me?” The only answer he received was in the form of a fist. Easily, he dodged. He continued to dodge her attacks without retaliating, knowing that it would help her anger as well as his guilt.

 

~*~ The gangs point of view ~*~

 

“Why doesn't Hiei just fight back already? I mean he could easily beat her ass!” Yusuke looked towards Kurama for answers, ignoring Kuwabara's protest that it wasn't right to fight a girl. “Do you have any ideas, fox boy?”

 

“I have a few Yusuke, but they are only theories. I can't tell you anything for sure.” Resting his elbow in the palm of his hand, his fingers played with the tips of his hair, a thinking habit. “I believe that we may have gotten involved into something that is beyond us. I know close to nothing about Hiei's personal life before we robbed Koenma's vault. All I know is that when he was trying to take over the Ningenkai, he had a specific propose for everything that he did. That includes the city that he chose.” He paused and chose his words carefully. “Everything that Hiei has done, it has all worked for a curtain outcome. The only problem is that I don't know what that outcome would be.” Actually, he had a pretty good idea what that outcome was and she was laying in one of the rooms with her child curled up next to her.

 

“Ooookay.” Yusuke gave Kurama an uncertain look. “So what you're saying is that Hiei's has a reason for everything his done since we meant you guys?”

 

“And even before I meant him, yes.” Nodding his head, he continued watching Hiei and the woman that he'd called Sango fight.

 

“He's insane if he's planned that far ahead. Almost a creepy insane, but insane nonetheless.” Kuwabara added to himself.

 

Kurama smiled softly. “Yes… I guess it could be considered insane.” Suddenly, his amusement was taken over by a look concern and calculation. “Something's off…”

 

“Move.” Everyone jumped as a voice, slightly cold came behind them. Turning, they saw Kagome. She was now adorned with a black tank top that resembled Hiei's that hugged her body in certain place and allowed you to make out the bandages that adorned her torso. One arm hugged her chest while the other hung loose at her side, where Souta had a solid hold on the appendage. “I said move.”

 

“Forgive us; we were not expecting you this quickly after the wounds you received. I guess you just surprised us is all.” Bowing slightly in respect, he stepped out of her way. While doing so, he made sure that Yusuke and Kuwabara followed suit.

 

Once a pathway had been cleared, Kagome led Souta outside. Stopping only to glance at the fighting that was taken place, she merely shook her head in amusement before continuing her trek. Her trail ended when she was standing in front of Sango's child. “Hey there, Souta was wondering if you wanted to play with him.” Slowly, she nudged her own son from behind her legs. “By the way, my name's Kagome. Your name wouldn't happen to be Hideaki, would it?”

 

When the child nodded, Kagome smiled warmly at him. “Aw. Sango told me that was what she was going to name her first son.” She giggled softly. “So, what do you say, Hideaki? Do you want to play with Souta?” Holding out her hand, she watched as Hideaki hesitantly took her hand. She helped him to his feet before leading both the boys away from the forest and the fighting.

 

“You see, Hideaki, Sango and I were very good friends at one time.” Reaching her chosen spot, she released the boys. “Now, I'm warning you both, say out of trouble.” Giving them both stern looks, she left them alone. She had things to discuses with the people in her den.
