Chapter 3
Later that evening, Hiei stood on chimney of the house. He still wasn't sure about Shiroi's pregnancy, and had come onto the roof to do some thinking.
"Care for some company?"
Hiei looked behind to see Raimeihi. "You're not my first choice for company."
Raimeihi sighed, "This is going to be a fun year." He sat down at the base of the chimney on Hiei's right. "You're not the only one who's worried."
Hiei glanced down at the tall demon. "You're worried about Naoru?"
Raimeihi nodded, "Her of course, and Shiroi. No matter what any of you say, she's still my daughter. I don't know what happened to me that day Naoru died, but since Koenma brought Naoru and me back, I've gone back to my normal self. I wasn't the brutal, evil person that you met me as. No, I was like Naoru, and I cared for Shiroi just as much as she did, before she died."
Hiei looked back out over the roofs. "Whatever you say Raimeihi, but it's going to take more than words to prove it."
"Does that mean you're going to give me a chance?" Raimeihi asked.
"Don't get your hopes up," Hiei answered. "Believing you about your past life is not the biggest topic on my mind."
Raimeihi nodded, knowing that Hiei would know what he did. "I know. The last thing on my mind is making you believe me."
Hiei smirked, "At least you have your priorities straight." He surveyed the village. "How often are you attacked by raiders here? And those winged serpents. I know this is one of the more peaceful areas of demon world, practically a different realm, but it is still inhabited by rogue demons."
Raimeihi thought for a moment. "Only a few winged serpents have attacked in the past several years. That's what Takken as has told me, and only a few parties of bandits and raiders have attacked. This village is safe, safer than most places."
Hiei nodded, "That answers one question." He looked down to the front of the house. Nana had come over earlier in the afternoon and was now leaving. Shiroi and Naoru had come out with her.
"Coming?" Raimeihi asked as he got to his feet. Hiei sighed and nodded, and the two of them jumped off the roof.
ooo
"I'll see you two tomorrow," Nana said. "There's so much to do."
"Yes there is," Naoru said. "But even if you do get started right away there always seems to be something to be done when the time comes."
"Yes," Nana said, "That's very true."
Shiroi looked up as Hiei and Raimeihi jumped from the roof. The two men landed behind Nana. "What were you two doing up there?"
"Talking," Raimeihi answered.
"I thought you two would never do that," Naoru said as the two men came to stand with them."
Nana smiled, "I'll be going now. There's much to start tomorrow." She nodded to them and walked away.
"Much to start?" Hiei asked.
Shiroi sighed, "How quickly you forget."
"Uh?" Hiei asked. Shiroi shook her head and grabbed him by the sleeve and dragged him inside. "What do you mean?" Hiei asked as they disappeared into the house.
Shiroi dragged Hiei into the bedroom and locked the door. "You know there's plenty to do, and you know what I mean by things do to."
Hiei sighed, "I do, but I'm still worried."
"Everything is going to be fine Hiei," Shiroi said. "There isn't anything you should worry about."
Hiei rolled his eyes. "There's always something to worry about when you're involved.
"That was rude," Shiroi said, annoyed. She walked away and lay on the bed and turned away from him.
Hiei sighed, "I'm going back on the roof." He unlocked the door and went out, closing it behind him.
ooo
He sat on the roof for several hours. He knew it was late when the moon vanished over the horizon. He stood up and was about to teleport back into the house, but then noticed someone behind the house.
It was Shiroi.
(What is she doing out?) Hiei wondered. He watched her for a moment, wondering what she was doing. She seemed to just be standing there. But then something caught his sharp sight. He leapt down from the roof, came up to her side, and grabbed her wrist all before a second had passed. "What are you doing?" In the hand of the wrist he held was a dagger.
Shiroi gasped and dropped the dagger in surprise. "You've been on the roof haven't you?"
"I told you that's where I was going," Hiei replied. "Now answer my question, what were you doing?"
Shiroi glared at him, and yanked her wrist out of his grasp. "I came out here for some fresh air, and made that dagger for reassurance."
"You knew I was on the roof," Hiei said. "That should have been reassurance enough." He returned the glare, "What were you really going to do with that dagger?"
Shiroi reached up and placed her hand on his forehead. She then transferred images from her mind to his. She expected the shocked look, but she didn't expect the sudden look of anger afterwards.
"You really think that I want you to do that?" Hiei asked quietly, his anger very apparent.
"How am I supposed to know?" Shiroi answered calmly, "I never seem to know what you're thinking anymore." She turned away and went back into the house.
Hiei picked up the dagger. It was made of ice that he could tell. As for the rest of it, he couldn't make out in the minimal light. He sighed and put the dagger into his boot and went after Shiroi. He didn't have to go far, he found her in the living room, sitting on the sofa.
-You shouldn't need to know what I think for that, - Hiei said through telepathy. He didn't want to disturb anyone else in the house by speaking verbally. -The last thing I want you to do is cause yourself more pain. -
Shiroi didn't look at him. -I want a straight answer from you, and I want it now. Do you want me to have this child or not? -
Hiei walked up and stood in front of her. -I don't want to risk you dying again, - he said. -I know you're back to you peak of strength, but it still doesn't erase memories of last time. There's always a risk. -
-That's not the answer I was looking for Hiei, - Shiroi growled. -A simple yes or no, that's all I want. -
Hiei looked away, -I can't answer that yet. I don't know. -
-Make your decision quick, - Shiroi said. -If you don't, I'll make it for you. - She got up and went back to their bedroom.
ooo
Unbeknownst to Hiei and Shiroi, Hikori had heard the entire conversation. Though the two had kept the conversation telepathic, they hadn't blocked it from leaking slightly.
Hikori had seen the tension between his parents all day. He had awoken when Shiroi had returned inside and had crept out of his room to stand just behind the doorway into the living room.
He didn't know what to do. Once he heard one of his parents leave the room, he quietly crept back to his room and closed the door. He sat down on his bed, but he knew he wouldn't be able to go to sleep. He was afraid about what might happen. He knew there wasn't much that he could do, but it wouldn't stop him from worrying about it.
He sighed and leaned back into his pillow. (I hope everything turns out all right. Mom looked so happy when she told us, and I'm sure she and Naoru are going to have fun getting ready together. Why does Dad have to worry so much?)
He rolled over on to his stomach, wrapping his arms around the pillow and staring at the wall. (There shouldn't be anything to worry about. Mom's perfectly healthy, no like last time.) He shuddered at the thought. (I don't think anyone's going to let that happen again.)
He closed his eyes for a moment. (I wonder if I should tell Naoru or Raimeihi about this? Probably Naoru, she'll understand more I think.) He rolled back on to his back, putting his hands behind his head. (There isn't anything for me to do except wait for tomorrow.)
He closed his eyes and waited for sleep, but sleep eluded him. After lying there for over an hour, he gave up on trying to sleep and sat up. He lit a candle with his fire and got to his feet. If he wasn't going to sleep, he wasn't about to sit around his room and do nothing.
He picked up his sias and took a guard stance. He began practicing moves he had been learning before they had come here. It gave him something to do and kept his mind off of what he was worried about most.
ooo
Author's Note: Uh-oh, what's going to happen? Think Hikori's got a right to be worried? I think so. Hopefully things will be sorted out in the next chapter. I hope you're enjoying the fic. Review me and tell me what you think.
