Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Betrothed Mating ❯ Chapter Five ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter 5

 

They were all training at Genkai's shrine because they had nothing better to do. Keiko was talking to Yukina and Boton while the guys sparred. Keiko was a very pretty girl with shoulder length mouse brown hair and dark brown eyes, Yukina had turquoise hair and crimson eyes, while boton had light blue hair and pink eyes.

 

The guys which consisted of Hiei, Kurama, Yusuke, and Kuwabara were all sparring with each other. Since Yusuke's demon had awoken, he needed to spar with someone stronger and since Hiei would kill Kuwabara if they sparred, Hiei was sparring Yusuke. Kurama and Kuwabara were also sparring each other.

 

Yusuke had slicked back black hair and honey brown eyes, Hiei has gravity defying black hair with a white star-burst and crimson eyes, Kurama had shoulder length blood red hair and emerald green eyes, and reddish orange elvis style hair and black eyes.

 

The boys all took a break and wondered over to the girls, Yukina seemed almost sad. Kuwabara noticed and instantly tried to figure out the problem. "What's wrong Yukina?"

 

The ice maiden sighed as she looked up to him. "I still haven't been able to find my brother and I really need to."

 

"Why the sudden urgency?" Yusuke asked.

 

A slight smile played across the girl's face. "Next month is August and I'm going to be meeting someone. I'm supposed to take my brother with me, because they're kind of betrothed."

 

Hiei nearly fell out of his tree, Kurama's eyes widened, and Yusuke fell over laughing. Kuwabara looked confused. "How are they betrothed?"

 

Yukina sighed again. "Mother wouldn't tell me much because Rui was always listening, but mother said I had someone I needed to meet. She wished she could come too, but she doubted she'd survive to the time the meeting was set. She said that our father promised my brother to a priestess who could time travel."

 

"A priestess?" Kurama questioned.

 

"Hai, mother met and healed her while she was pregnant with my brother and I. Momma said she also saved father from death and healed a serious injury he had, though she collapsed on top of him afterward. Mother never spoke of father, but when she did she'd get upset and stop quickly. She said he died a few months before we were born."

 

"So your father promised your twin brother to a priestess they had only known for a short time?" Boton questioned.

 

"Hai, I'm not sure why though. I'm to meet her next month though."

 

**&**

 

Hiei had taken off shortly after hearing about being betrothed to a human woman. He had no idea why his father would do that, or who his father even was. Not even Yukina knew his father. Rui had never met him because he had died before his mother returned, so no one could actually tell him about the man.

 

He sped threw a forest and stopped in one of the trees. He felt a human approaching and almost sighed. He hated being around humans, they were highly annoying. This one however seemed to sense him as she looked right at where he was. "What is it with demons and trees?" She asked herself before she sighed.

 

He jumped from his tree and glared at her. "How did you know I was here?"

 

"I sensed you." She answered, smiling at his glare.

 

"Humans shouldn't be able to."

 

Her smile widened as she looked at him. "Who said I'm a human?" Turning from him she continued onward before she found a katana at her throat.

 

"Onna, what are you?"

 

She moved her hand up and let her fingers ghost across the blade as tears threatened to fall at the memory of her friend. "Firefly..." She softly whispered.

 

Hiei was confused by her actions, but didn't show it. Instead his eyes narrowed as he shook her a little. "Answer me onna."

 

Kagome sighed and somehow pushed him and the blade back mumbling about stupid demons and not using her name. "My name is Kagome, not onna."

 

Hiei growled. "That's not an answer."

 

So he's easily irritated. Kagome looked at him as her eyes glinted mischievously. "I don't give answers to strange youkai."

 

"You will answer me."

 

"I also don't take orders. I am me, exactly what I am matters not."

 

"You are irritating."

 

"You are cute." Kagome said with a smirk.

 

It was a mere second before she was again pinned to the tree. "I. Am. Not. Cute." He ground out.

 

"Fine, you're devilishly handsome."

 

Hiei actually looked dumbfounded. First she says he's cute and he practically threatens her so she calls him handsome? There had to be something wrong with her. "You are a strange onna." He said as he dropped her.

 

She actually started laughing, and it sounded like delicate wind chimes on a morning breeze. He had to admit that the onna was quite beautiful with her waist length onyx hair, sapphire eyes, and a body that'd put any man's dreams to shame.

 

Suddenly she looked down at her watch and eeped. "I have to pick up my son!" With that she took off with an almost inhuman speed.

 

He just stared after her as she left, not really thinking clearly. The woman had just stood up to him and lived, she had even been defiant. He shook off the odd feeling of peace she gave him and left, heading for Genkai's.

 

**&**

 

Kagome had taken off quickly after her meeting with the demon. He reminded her somewhat of Hotaro, but she brushed it off. What she needed to be thinking about was how she'd make it up to Shippo, she had forgotten to check the time and needed to pick him up from their house.

 

He was being watched by her grandfather, and she was supposed to take him out about a half hour ago. She was now seventeen years old, but she had already finished high school. Her mother allowed her to be home-schooled and so she was able to graduate a year early.

 

She arrived in time to see her son and Souta playing outside. Inviting her younger brother along, she apologized for not being there on time. Her mother came out and told them that they'd be visiting her aunt for the rest of summer break and that if she wanted, Souta could stay with her.

 

After looking into the boy's pleading eyes she agreed that he could stay. How could she refuse the puppy pout? The three left the house after saying their good-byes, and headed into town. Hopefully they'd go to the arcade, at least Souta wanted to.

 

And so they did. Souta taught Shippo how to play and they began playing as many games as they could, at least until they bumped into someone familiar. "Yusuke?" Souta asked as he looked at the teen.

 

Said teen turned and looked at the boy. "What ya want?"

 

Souta launched himself at the teen and hugged him tightly. "I haven't seen you in forever, sis is here with me!"

 

"Souta?" Yusuke asked the boy weakly.

 

"Hai, come on." He said as he dragged the teen toward his sister.

 

Another boy was following him and trying not to laugh, at least he was until they saw who the boy was leading them to. She turned upon sensing Souta behind her, she then noticed the other two boys. "Hello." She said un-surely.

 

"Kagome?" The honey eyed boy asked.

 

"Yusuke!" She squealed as she flung herself at him. He caught her as he let go of the boy's hand.

 

"Urameshi, what about Keiko?" The forgotten boy demanded.

 

Before he could answer, Kagome turned to him. "Kazuma?" Said boy just looked at her. "Do you remember me, I'm Yusuke's cousin?"

 

It took a few minutes for recognition to dawn in his eyes. "I remember you, you used to be picked on a lot."

 

Kagome laughed slightly nervous. "Yeah, well I don't have that problem anymore."

 

"Momma, who're they?" Asked a red head as he walked up to them.

 

The two boys looked between her and Shippo so she sighed. "Shippo, this is my cousin Yusuke and his friend Kazuma, guys, this is my adopted son Shippo."

 

"You adopted a boy?" Kazuma asked stupidly.

 

"Hai, and don't ask for reasons, they are my own." She looked at the two boys. "We should really be getting home, stop by the shrine soon Yusuke! And say hi to Aunt Atsuko for me!"
