Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ A turning point ❯ share with me? ( Chapter 4 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Hiei had put serious consideration into destroying the picture, but he couldn't do that, that picture belonged to yukina, but what about his pride? He wasn't going to have it destroyed by the mocking of the two idiots( kuwabara and yusuke)It would be nearly impossible to even get close to that picture, Yukina had kept it on her all day, she would notice him go for it, his best chance was to sneak into her room at night…

Hiei rooted through the refrigerator and became tolerant of Emily toddling behind him where ever he went, he didn't terribly mind her company, only when she started singing, or asked questions non-stop…. -sigh- Genkai and Yukina had gone out to grocery shop, and there was nothing to eat, Yukina had tried to bring Emily along with them, but the small child had insisted on staying with Hiei, deep down he thought that she wanting to spend the day with him was a `nice' gesture, of course to normal people, it would be considered cute, and sweet of the child

His tummy rumbled and so did Emily's

“Mister Hiei? “ Emily asked in a very small voice

“What kid?” Hiei sighed mentally pleading that she wouldn't break into 20 questions

“I'm hungry…” she pouted

“ Me too….” He looked down at her, and she looked back up with an expecting look

“Hey I don't know how to cook and there's nothing in the entire place” Hiei scowled

Emily whimpered. Genkai and Yukina had just left and hiei knew they wouldn't be back for a good 3 hours, he didn't want to put up with the little girl's whining that long….god forbid

“Well….I'm not waiting for them to come back to eat…” he looked at her patiently “ I'm going out” Hiei started to walk away, but Emily persisted in following

“By myself” Hiei added, but Emily still followed, Hiei rolled his eyes

“No..you stay here” Hiei walked away again the little girl staying in her place tears brimming her eyes

“Just stay in this room, don't move from that spot” Hiei made his way out side and swifted into nothing as he ran through the woods for a meal, while Emily was left behind at the compound….

“Do you think Hiei is ok with Emily?” Yukina asked worridly to Genkai

“Yes, they'll be fine, after shopping, lets go out for lunch” Genkai offered

-3 hours later-

Emily remained obedient and stayed in the spot Hiei had instructed, she didn't like being alone, she wanted to be with Hiei, Her stomach growled horribly, and she rubbed it with a buu lip on her face, but it didn't last long as Hiei cane back through the door and looked at her quizzically

“You actually stood there….This whole time!” Hiei asked astonished

Emily nodded and trotted up to Hiei and hugged his leg and looked up at him with tears in her big eyes

-God I can never understand this child, why does she insist on doing that..- Hiei thought

Emily perked up “ Where did you go ?”

“Well…. “ he walked to the kitchen and started pulling bags from underneath his cloak and setting them on the counter

Emily who was too short to see over the counter anxiously waited for Hiei to show her what was in the bags

Hiei inwardly smiled, all he had bought was chocolate chip cookies, milk, a gallon of ice cream, and a couple candy bars, he could see Emily trying to bounce to eye level with the counter, but she wasn't tall enough, he inwardly felt at peace, the girl wasn't so bad, he lifted his arms out and lifted Emily to sit on the counter

Hiei dug out two spoons and napkins “ Share with me? “

Emily smiled joyously and hugged hiei's arm, they began their junk food buffet

A little while later Yukina and Genkai were walking back from lunch and to the temple, they had multiple heavy bags, and it was increasingly hard to get up the steps that way.

Yukina panted “ I forgot how hard it was to get up these steps with groceries….”

Genkai tiredly grunted in response

They finally reached the top of the steps and tiredly walked into the kitchen to unload the bags, when they were suddenly dropped to the ground, they had stumbled onto Hiei and Emily eating together, Emily happily had ice cream and chocolate smeared on her chubby face

And what really made them drop there bag's is that hiei looked the same exact way!

Yukina burst into giggles, and genkai chuckled

Hiei looked somewhat offended “what!”

Yukina continued to giggled “ Hiei, that is unbearably cute!”

“Huh?” Hiei didn't see what was so funny, he scooped another spoonful of ice cream into his mouth and as soon as he had lowered the spoon, Emily had wrapped her chubby arms around his neck and squealed “CHEESE!” Hiei was flashed with neon dots as yet again another picture of him was taken.

-great now that's two I have to destroy- hiei mentally scowled and waved his hands in front of his face as if trying to catch the neon dots

“Lets get you cleaned up darling” Yukina chirped and picked up Emily heading for the baths

Hours later after dinner and cleaning up the kitchen, a bath and tea time, hiei opened his eyes to the darkness, and made his way to yukina's room, He silently thanked that Yukina had a simple room, he rooted through the drawers, but couldn't seem to find the pictures, as he went to head for t he door the wood floor went “CRREEEEK” loudly and Yukina flinched in her sleep, causing Hiei to panic and bolt for the door, ok the plan was out… he couldn't get the pictures with out becoming paranoid, he walked past Emily's room and stopped, he looked back at the door for a long moment before continuing back to his own room

It had to have been eleven by now, a woman busted into a police department, obviously pissed and began screaming at an officer.

“Ma'am calm down please!” the officer pleaded

“Fuck you! MY daughter has been kidnapped!” The woman raged

Officers from the department helped her to a seat and proceeded to ask her questions, the woman put on a fake act

“My poor Emily” she cried “She was taken right from my loving arms, from a beast! My poor baby!”

The police drew out a sketch of the `kidnapper'...Hiei

“Ok ma'am we'll put out an add in the news paper, and go to the local news” the policeman said clutching her hand with a perverse grin “ We'll catch this guy”

The woman exchanged the look with him and smiled “I just want my baby back….”

The woman had brought the policeman home that night

As dawn was breaking Hiei was already up and sipping his tea with Genkai and Yukina, well sort of he was leaning against the walla away from them

Emily yawned and drug herself out of her room, rubbing her big blue eyes with her balled up little fisted, her tummy stuck out, and she swayed from sleepiness, she seemed re energized and bounced over to Hiei

“Good morning! “ Emily said happily

Genkai looked over at the door and looked back down to her tea and smiled

“Morning twerp..” Hiei said and Emily plopped herself in his lap, he didn't seem to mind any more, that is until he hear the oh so familiar voices of kuwabara and yusuke howling with laughter behind him

“Gee hiei I didn't know you could be so soft. LIKE A GIRL! “ Kuwabara pranced into the dojo and sprinkled flowers on him, Hiei's eye twitched in irritation as Emily started collecting the flowers and putting them in his hair

Yusuke joined in “ ISN'T THAT ADORABLE! “ yusuke came up behind hiei and pinched his cheek.

-we'll pause for a moment as yusuke and kuwabara get there heads handed back to them-

“Awwww…if you think that is cute you have to look at these pictures! “ Yukina offered and handed them to yusuke who was peeling his bloody self off the floor and exploded into laughter again, hitting the floor with his fist, his face turning blue from lack of oxygen

Hiei calmly set Emily out of his lap and pounced on Yusuke and scrambled trying to get the pictures before kuwabara got to them, he and yusuke grappled until kuwabara joined in and held Hiei down as he grabbed the pictures, he and yusuke howled with laughter at the pictures, Hiei's anger boiled as he ripped the pictures from them and pounded each of there heads into the wood floor, more than a couple times times

Yukina snatched the pictures away from hiei before he ripped them to shreds, Hiei scowled

“ Awww hiei don't fret, here have a flower to make you feel better, or we could sing a song” Kuwabara jeered while stuffing cotton balls on the inside of his cheek to help stop the bleeding on his face

Yusuke was a bit smarter and just laughed , he knew better than to make comments at hiei, some of the time

Hiei snatched the flowers from his hair and crushed them

Emily hobbled next to hiei and stayed close by him, Kuwabara kneeled down to the child and smiled “ What's your name?”

Emily looked at him thoughtfully “EEEEEEEKKK!” she screamed at him and hit him in the face hiding behind hiei

“AGH!#, # You little brat!” kuwabara cursed, yukina covered her mouth at the language, and hiei became angry as Emily whimpered

Hiei got up and stood in front of Emily placing his sword at kuwabara's throat giving him a threatening look “Shut your mouth..” hiei said vilely

Kuwabara began to sweat and backed off behind yusuke

“Why are you two here anyways….” Hiei said suspiciously

Yusuke's face turned serious “ We gotta talk…”

Yukina decided it was best that they be left alone and went to go play with Emily outside after she got her dressed, Genkai decided she would stay and listen

Hiei sneered “ I'm not taking a case for koenma, not until I'm allowed to go back to demon world”

“It's not that…” Yusuke said “If it were a case Kurama would've came, you know I'm too lazy” Yusuke added with a grin

Hiei put this into consideration, he was right..

“Ok, what is it?” Hiei asked

Yusuke pulled out a news paper and showed it to him-it was the article containing Emily and her `kidnapper' Hiei's face was on the human's paper, the girls mother had gone to the police-

Hiei gave yusuke a flat look “And this affects me how?”

Yusuke gave him a sympathetic look “Koenma isn't happy… he's going to take Emily to spirit world and give her back to her mother hiei”

Hiei inwardly gritted his teeth, but remained composed “He's sending her to her death…”

“Koenma is probably aware of that, or he's got another plan, so me and kuwabara are taking her to spirit world….today” Yusuke added

Hiei realized why koenma had sent these two, they would carry out any order, he wasn't going to let them take her….not even over his dead body

Hiei's eyes pierced through yusuke's “You're not taking her anywhere…”

“Koenma said if you were to say something like that we were to allow her to stay here for a couple more days” Yusuke said “ We'll come back, but Hiei if you run off with her…..things will get bad…” With that yusuke and kuwabara left, Hiei stood wondering why he cared, it's not like he cared, sure the kid was cute, but he would never grow attached …

Hiei gripped his sword tightly at his side to keep his sanity -I'm not going to hand her over to that witch, all I have to do is kill her..-

Hiei thought -which is what I should've done in the first place…-

After a while of thinking about it, he had realized killing the girl's mother wouldn't help him, just get him thrown in jail..Hiei had moved to the porch and watched Emily play in a garden of flowers every now and then she would toddle up to hiei and hand him some flowers, or join him for a glass of milk and cookies

Genkai had watched Hiei grow close to the child, she knew telling emily would be hard, and she got the feeling hiei wasn't going to do it

Genkai sighed half heartedly and called Emily over

“Yes grandma?” the child asked cheerfully, Hiei shot genkai a warning look

“Emily there is something you have to know” Genkai started

Genkai gave Hiei a stern look, and Hiei got up and approached her leaning slightly on a column of the compound

“Emily in a couple days…..you'll be going back to your mom” Genkai stated, there was no way she could sugar coat it for the child, she knew once koenma handed the child over to the mother,no one would be allowed near her, even to help her!

“Huh?” Emily looked dumbfounded, she didn't understand

“Your mother, your going back to live with her” Genkai said again

Emily's little face became helpless she turned to hiei looking for some kind of help “ I don't wanna go…”

Hiei avoided her face, he pretended she wasn't there, Emily began to panic and tugged on his pant leg

“ I wanna stay here..” she pleaded, but no one answered her

She sniffled and her head bowed her small frame shook and she screamed into hysterics “ I DON'T WANNA GO! Mister Hiei I don't wanna go!”

Hiei could feel the ice melt around his heart, and it began to crumble, he tried to hide it on his face, but a pitiful frown marred it

Emily hugged his leg tightly and cried into it

After this epidemic it was by far night fall, yukina had spent 30 minutes tucking Emily into bed, after she was done yukina went to talk to hiei

“ Are you going to let her be taken away?” Yukina asked her head bowed, she too had become increasingly attached to Emily

“I don't know…” hiei said truthfully, the conversation ended

After yukina and genkai retired for the night uncomfortably Emily came out of her room and stood in front of hiei, tears in her eyes

“Mr. Hiei….I wanna stay with you…” Emily said in a very small voice “ I don't want to go back with my mommy….”

Hiei gave her an almost sympathetic look

Emily took on a look of fear “ I don't want to die…”

Hiei double taked at her and gave her a stern look “ I won't let anyone kill you..”

Hiei looked down at the paper with his face on it, he had been reading adds and such, he took the paper in his hand and showed her a picture of a ferries wheel

“Have you ever been to a festival?” Hiei asked

Emily shook her head and watched hiei get up and go for the door.

“Then what are we waiting on?” hiei opened the door, Emily smiled happily and ran up to him, hiei picked her up and they were off…
