Chapter 2
Hikori was not looking forward to going home. He did not want to see his mother's reaction to his minor injuries. He wasn't too worried about his father, and if anything his father already knew, and if that were true his mother would know too.
It took him two hours to get home, so it was five o'clock when he finally cleared the last steps and entered the temple. He was glad to be home, since he was tired and all he wanted to do was take a bath and go to sleep, but he still had homework to do.
He was rather surprised not finding his mother waiting for him. "Maybe that's a good thing," he whispered.
"Don't count on it."
The only reason Hikori didn't jump was because he was so used to his father coming up behind him and not hearing him. "What do you mean?" Hikori asked.
"She got called in," Hiei answered. Taking a good look at him, Hikori saw his father wasn't in a very good mood. Of course, he never was in a good mood when Shiroi had to go on a mission for Emperor Enma.
Of course, he had a good reason. For as long Hikori could remember, every time Shiroi had to go on a mission for Emperor Enma she came home as white as a ghost and almost too weak to walk.
"How long do you think she's going to be gone this time?" Hikori asked.
Hiei shrugged, "I don't know. Shiroi left too quickly for me to ask." He took a closer look at his son, "Who did it?"
"A human that I took too lightly," Hikori answered. "It won't happen again."
Hiei took Hikori's chin in two calloused fingers gently, something he'd learned a long time ago, and examined his face better. "Clean it," was all he said, and let him go.
Hikori nodded and went to his room. After dabbing his lip with a damp cloth he turned to his homework. It didn't take him long to do it, since it was all review to him. Once he was done he went back outside to look for his father.
It took Hikori a while to find him. Hiei had gone deep into the forest to train, but Hikori knew he was also venting off steam. When Hikori found him, Hiei was standing in the middle of a clearing, several piles of dust surrounding him.
"The poor boulders," Hikori said, trying to lighten the mood, "What did they ever do to you?"
Hiei glared at his son, "I'm not in the mood for humor right now." He sighed, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be taking out my frustrations on you, and as for the boulders..." he shrugged. "They'd be destroyed one day anyway."
Hikori shook his head at his father's own humor. Maybe it was because his father was a demon that Hiei was able to think up such things. Not that Hiei was as cruel father, quite the opposite. Hikori could remember one day, when he was young, when his father fought off a deranged mountain lion when the two of them had been on an afternoon walk.
In the end, the lion had been killed and Hikori found himself getting swept home so fast he could hardly remember it. Hiei had gotten some minor injuries, but Shiroi had easily tended to them and it was almost like it had never happened. Expect that Hiei wouldn't put Hikori down for the next few hours.
Hiei approached his son, "Your homework is done?"
Hikori nodded, "For me it was all review. I think it's going to be that way for a while, so far as I can tell and how much we covered today."
Hiei nodded, but then his gaze shifted back the temple. "She's home," he said. "Come on, let's see if she's all right."

Hikori followed his father at a quick walk. Hikori guessed that if he hadn't been with his father, the demon would be teleporting, not walking. When they reached the temple, they found a very tired looking white-haired apparition sitting on the steps of the shrine.
"What was it this time?" Hiei asked.
Shiroi looked up, "It really wasn't very serious. Koenma was looking for new bodyguards, and he asked me to test each one of them. In my point of view, they all failed, but Koenma believes that they'll pass as bodyguards."
Hiei sighed, relieved that it wasn't some dangerous mission. "What did he make you do?"
"Sparring mostly," Shiroi answered. "But you know my form of sparring, zapping them with tiny electrical charges. Makes it feel like they've actually been hit physically." She looked at Hikori, and noticed what happened. "Come here," she said firmly.
Hikori groaned as he obediently approached his mother. "If you're so tired then why are you healing me?"
Shiroi healed his lip and eye. "I'm never tired enough to leave your wounds unattended."
Hikori could see in her eyes that she was exhausted. He knew his mother wasn't as strong as she used to be, but he didn't know why. Whenever he asked, all he was told was that something happened when she was younger and it was nothing he should be concerned about. He wondered about it periodically, but he knew if asked again he would get the same answer, so he left the subject alone.
He straightened from his healing as his mother asked, "Did you do all of your homework?"
"Yes," Hikori groaned. He knew his parents could speak mind to mind, so why didn't they do it now?
Shiroi nodded and got slowly to her feet. She flicked her long, braided hair back over her shoulder. "I know you're classes are probably going to be boring for a while, but that doesn't mean you can slack off."
Hikori nodded and went to his room, knowing that his parents would want some time to talk without having their son around.
***
Hikori woke up the next morning at four. He glared at his alarm, but he knew he was going to have to get used to getting up at this hour. He was not surprised to find that he was the only one up. Shiroi would definitely still be sleeping, and Hiei, well; Hikori never knew when his father woke up. He finished getting ready and trotted down the stairs.
He arrived at Mitsuki's place just over an hour later. When he arrived, he found Mitsuki sitting on her front porch waiting for him.
"Good morning," she said as she got to her feet. She poked her head inside to tell her parents she was leaving, and then approached Hikori. "Ready?" She asked. She noticed his wounds had been healed. "Noroko is going to be quite confused."
"Let him be confused," Hikori, said, "Maybe it'll make him want to leave me alone."
Mitsuki giggled, "You're in a good mood this morning."
Hikori snorted as they as they started walking. He was going avoid Noroko as much as possible, and try to ignore him during gym class. When they arrived at school they went straight to their first class, making it so that Noroko had to go hunting for Hikori if the thug really wanted to find him. After his first couple of classes, he met up with Mitsuki for break.
"Any sign of him?" Mitsuki asked as they sat down under the tree they had used yesterday.
"No," Hikori answered. That really wasn't on his mind anymore. What was on his mind was what he had been thinking about yesterday when his mother came home. What wasn't that they didn't want to tell him?
"Here," Mitsuki held out an extra lunch to him. "My dad heard that your mom had a thing to do yesterday, so we all knew that she wouldn't be up when you were."
"Thanks," Hikori said as he took the lunch. He picked at the food for a minute, not really hungry.
"What's wrong?" Mitsuki asked. "You've got something on your mind, I know that look in your eye."
"It's that same question I've had for years," Hikori answered. "When and why did my mother get so weak? I know she used to be a lot stronger, I saw so in Kurama's video of them at their wedding."
"I've seen my dad's version of that," Mitsuki said, "They looked so cute, but your dad had this confused look on him during the ceremony."
"Kurama told me that he had no clue what was going on," Hikori answered. "Apparently no one had told him."
"Where were they anyway?" Mitsuki asked. "Where was the ceremony held?"
"I guess it was in my mother's home village," Hikori answered. "I don't know where it is, and they've never taken me there."
"There seems to be so much about your parents that you don't know," Mitsuki pointed out. "Why don't you ask them?"
Hikori thought for a moment. "I should shouldn't I? I mean, I am nearly sixteen, and I haven't asked about my mom's weakness in years. Maybe they'll finally answer me."
"All you can do is try," Mitsuki said. "Now eat that, or my mom will be crushed that you didn't."
Hikori sighed and did as he was told, muttering that he was being told what to do by a female that was younger than him. Mitsuki only giggled and gave him a playful shove.

Author's Note: I'm finally on summer break, so I should be able to get more writing done. Though I must wonder if I should even continue since I only got one reviewer for the last chapter, my big thanks to that person. I hope I get more reviews this time. Like always, tell me what you think.
