Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Holy One From Hell ❯ Simple Meetings ( Chapter 1 )

A silhouette in the light of the moon moved in a graceful but potentially deadly dance as a blade glinted silver in the glittering light. A pair of red eyes watched hungrily as the creature moved. They were oblivious to being watched, their black hair danced in the swirls among their body as they moved. When they turned to look at a certain spot the figure revealed a woman. What looked like silver eyes glowed eerily as the moonlight danced in there depths.

 

“Who is there? Show yourself!” The woman demanded strongly. Her watcher did not show them self. She raised a hand blood colored nails sparkled and glinted in the light to show there sharpness. “Come!” she demanded in a soft but strong voice.

 

The red eyes opened wide in shock as their body began to act on its accord. They unwillingly began to towards the figure that still had their arm raised as if holding an orb. The figure moving looked at the one controlling them. Their body had filled out the training outfit well, eyes danced with color a rainbow of color as they got closer until they settled on mimicking their own ruby red.

 

The figure looked at the creature standing in front of them. Their black hair defied the laws that gravity bestowed upon them all, A white starburst decorated the front. Their eyes traveled over the body before them ruby red held defiance and anger. They smirked and continued to look they too wore a black outfit, as eyes continued to travel they noticed a katana at their side. Their hand tightened unconsciously on the hilt of the katana held in their hand.

 

“I'll ask you one more time. Who are you?” The figure asked growing impatient, with the demon before them.

 

“Hn. Hiei.” This was barely audible to the figures ears. They looked at the demon now known as Hiei and nodded.

 

“I'm Kagome.” The female figure answered quickly dropping into a bow. Hiei looked down at the sword gripped in her hand. Kagome noticed where he was looking.

 

“Hn.”

 

“Do you practice Kendo?” Kagome questioned innocently. Hiei's nod was barely noticeable. Kagome began to jump up and down in excitement. “Would you like to spar. My instructor does not wish for me to rusty in his absence.”

 

Hiei nodded his head and removed his outer cloak to reveal a black sleeveless shirt that showed off the rippling muscle in his arms. He pulled his katana from his sheath the moonlight glinted off the deadly edge as he took a defensive stance. He did not want to jump into this fight blind. Kagome fell into a closed offensive stance. Her body was angled slightly to the left; this left no opening for a strike. They circled each other slowly, looking for faults in each other's stances. Hiei caught the opening that she had left behind; Kagome smirked when she saw Hiei disappear, and smirked again when she noticed him behind her.

 

She parried the attack smoothly, sparks lunched into the open space between them as Kagome twisted her hair making a black halo around her, and she landed a roundhouse kick to his chest sending him across the clearing. Hiei stood up and shook off the kick, and watched Kagome. He looked stunned as she lifted the blade horizontally to the ground above her head. She ran the two fingers of her left hand along the blade; he heard her muttering something below her breath. The moon light began to turn red as blood. He watched in dumbfoundedness (Is that even a word oh well I'm using it) as pink energy flowed into the blade turning it black. Black energy cracked loudly like thunder and reached out towards him. He dodge and looked at her, she had opened her eyes they were black; they seemed to look directly into his soul she smirked and opened her mouth to speak.

“Open the Gate's Hell's Sword!”

 

Hiei was floored, to say this doesn't happen very often, they had been talk since he was younger of a pure being born of the darkest depths of hell. He had never paid these much heed he always thought that it was a legend and nothing more. She took off towards him disappearing faster then even his demons eyes could catch. She appeared before him the black sword raised to strike, the evil energy pouring off of it almost made him want to cringe. `This is more energy then what the Dragon gives off.' He raised his blade to block the energy crackled and snapped angrily and she pushed hard, he pushed back sending her backwards. She did a back flip before landing in a crouch the blade held in her right hand was behind her and raised over her head, she balanced herself on the balls of her feet with her left hand on the ground. Hiei sped off towards her; he brought his blade back and swung it towards her throat. He stopped himself before he made the deadly cut. He looked down at her and noticed that she had her blade pointed at his heart. The black energy crackled and then disappeared, when her eyes flicked back to silver.

 

“Thank You!” Kagome said while Hiei withdrew his sword and sheathed it. She stood and sheathed her sword. She stuck out her hand; Hiei looked at it then shook it firmly before quickly dropping her hand. Kagome looked up at the sky, sighing gently to herself. “It's just past Midnight.” Was the comment made to no one.

 

“Hn.” He watched her walk towards a bench. He ran and grabbed his cloak and pulled it one. He turned and watched as she took a swig from a water bottle before pulling a black hoodie over her head, she removed her katana and placed it in a black duffel bag before grabbing her bag and jogging towards him.

 

“So… Hiei do you mind if I ask you some questions. You can ask me some if you wish.” She looked over and saw the barest of nods.

 

“What type of demon mix are you?” She felt him tense and his energy rise. “I ask because I can sense the fighting energies. The inner struggle must have been hard to control as a young child.”

“I'm a mix that should have never existed between fire and ice. It was a hard struggle but I'm here and alive and only have to thank my self for it. My question is I thought the Pure Being from Hell was only a legend told in Makai to scare little kids into behaving.” He looked over at her. A ghost of a smile graced her lips.

 

“You see I didn't know that I was till my mom told me two years ago on my sixteenth birthday. They had found me in the well house on the shrine. My parents welcomed me openly for they had not been able to have kids. Ever since my sixteenth birthday I haven awoken my powers and haven't aged so fitting in among the teens my age is hard, but I manage somehow.” She looked up at the sky and the stars twinkling innocently. “Do you have friends and family in this dimension?”

 

“Yes, I do. I have a twin sister. I also have teammates who I consider friends to a point.” She nodded her head.

 

“You're a loner. It's understandable not to get close to other. Are you loyal to you teammates?” She felt him stop. Kagome looked back at him, his eyes were wide and then he shook his head.

 

“Do you question me?”

 

“No, but I'm just Curious.”

 

“My word is law; I'm loyal to those who I give my word to.” His eyes got colder. “My teammates are people I trust. I trust them with my life and they trust me with their own.” Kagome nodded her head firmly, and ran hand threw her hair. She looked up at the sky and shook her head sending her hair over her eyes. “Are you going to be training tomorrow night?” Hiei asked. Kagome looked at him and stopped walking to think.

 

“Yes, I should be. Do you wish to spar tomorrow night?” She looked at him. He nodded. They sopped at the steps to her shrine. Hiei looked up at the shrine and saw the barrier and then back to Kagome. He saw her smile.

 

“I'll see you tomorrow night then.” Hiei nodded and sped off. Kagome ran up the steps and then walked into her house. She noticed that the kitchen light was on. She placed the duffel bag down and walked towards the kitchen. Her mother sat at the table a cup of tea sitting in front of her.

 

“Kaa-san?” Kagome called quietly before walking towards her. Her mother looked up her eyes puffy and red.

 

“Kagome, I was wondering when you would get home.” She motioned for Kagome to sit down across from her. Kagome moved reluctantly towards the chair. “Kagome the shrine isn't doing well and your grandfather and I have decided to send you and Souta off to different relative. Souta will be going to stay with your uncle in Kyoto while you are moving in with my older sis Shiori and her son Suichi.” Kun-loon gave her daughter a minute to digest this information before moving on. “You leave the day after tomorrow.” Kagome's head fell into her hands and her shoulders fell in a shudder. “I'm sorry dear. I wish I could do something else but financial we can't.” Kagome didn't lift her head to meet Koon-lun's eyes but nodded her head.

 

“Have you told Souta?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Okay. Well, Kaa-san I'm going to head to bed.” Koon-lun nodded and watched her daughter walk upstairs. She turned back to the tea that had long since grown cold. She silently cried sending her children away from the only home they have ever known broke her heart.

 

Kagome opened her door, the once pink room, had been turned as dark as the night sky. She pulled her hoodie off and curled up into her bed and pulled the comforter tightly about her shoulders. When she closed her eyes she fell into a deep sleep.

 

Dark red eyes looked up at the moon as it drifted across the sky soon fell into a light meditation.
