Chapter 10
Hiei brought Shiroi inside and everyone else followed him in. Raimeihi stayed in the doorway, unsure of what the others would do to him if he set foot inside. Everyone situated themselves inside the small room. Koenma cleared his throat and began.
"After Hiei brought Shiroi home, I knew that more protection would be needed for both Shiroi and Hikori. Chimera's intent for him still wasn't made clear, so Hikori's still at risk of being captured again. I also knew that Shiroi needed a powerful healer with a lot of experience. Now offense Yukina"
The ice apparition nodded in understanding.
Koenma continued, "When Naoru volunteered for the healing post I immediately agreed. I couldn't see anyone better. When I mentioned I still needed to find a guard, she brought up Raimeihi. She told me that a dark rage had consumed him when she died. That was the source of his insanity." He noticed the skeptical looks for the men that had fought Raimeihi.
"How can we be so sure that that's true?" Yuseke asked.
"You didn't know my husband before I died," Naoru answered. "He was a kind man, and saved my village just as Hiei has saved Shiroi."
"But how can you still be sure of the insanity?" Kurama asked. "It's true that a tragic death can change ones personality, but on the scale of Raimeihi's just doesn't seem possible."
Naoru was about to reply, when surprisingly Raimeihi spoke up. "I know what I did is inexcusable and will never be forgiven. And know that most of you will never trust me, but I would like to repent by protecting Shiroi and Hikori from Chimera."
"Protecting her from Chimera will not make up for what you did," Hiei said. "Nothing will." He looked down at Shiroi. The woman had fallen back into an exhausted sleep as soon as he had brought her in, so she had heard none of the conversation.
"I know this is a change of subject," Kurama started, "and most likely not a topic that is easy to discuss, but what do you plan to do with the child once Shiroi has it?"
Hiei exchanged glances with Hikori and Yukina, both of whom were doing well to keep straight faces. The two of them said nothing, and Hiei answered Kurama, "Keep it."
"Huh?" Everyone asked.
Hiei looked back at Hikori, "I only just found out about this a little while ago. Hikori figured it out."
"Figured what out?" Yuseke asked. "Just spit it out already."
"You won't even let me explain it?" Hikori asked. The adults looked at one another, and let him explain. "I was thinking about how long we had been gone and counted the months out. Chimera had captured my mom and I in the end of October, and now it's the middle of June. It's only been eight months."
"What does that have to do with anything?" Kuwabara asked.
Yukina answered, "Shiroi is nine months pregnant. Shiroi would've had to be at least a month pregnant already before she was captured to make her nine months now. Which means..." She looked at Hiei and smiled.
"It's Hiei's," Kurama said, astonished.
The feeling of excitement in the room rose, even though the sound did not. No one wanted wake up Shiroi now.
"Does Shiroi know?" Naoru asked.
Hiei shook his head, "No, she's been asleep each time it's been said."
"Chimera must still believe that the child's his," Koenma said. "It still puts Shiroi in a lot of danger." He looked at everyone in the room, "Will you allow Raimeihi to stay and help protect Shiroi?"
"The choice should be Hiei's," Kurama said. "Even though I believe that we should all have a say in this, Hiei will be the one making the final decision."
"Kurama has a good idea," Koenma said. He turned to Hiei, "Well, what do you decide Hiei?"
Hiei glanced at Raimeihi. The demon was different from the last time. The evil madness was gone form both his eyes and his voice. His over all demeanor was completely different. Hiei sighed, "He can stay, but I will say this first. If he fails at this task, or he harms Shiroi in any way shape or form, I reserve right to kill him on the spot."
"If that's his decision," Koenma said. He turned to Raimeihi, "Are you clear on this?"
Raimeihi nodded.
Koenma got to his feet, "Then I shall now return to Spirit World." He nodded to Naoru and walked out of the room.
"I need to be going as well," Kurama said as he got to his feet. "I have work to grade. But I will make regular visits to make sure things are going okay."
"I need to go too," Yuseke said. "Come one Kuwabara, I'm not waiting until you want to leave." Yuseke had given Kuwabara a ride here.
"Yeah, yeah," Kuwabara grumbled. He glared at Raimeihi as he left the room. Once they were gone, Naoru sighed.
"This will not be an easy adjustment," she said.
"Naoru," Raimeihi said.
"Yes?"
"I will stand guard out here and leave you with them," Raimeihi answered. Naoru nodded, and Raimeihi slid the door closed.
Naoru turned to Yukina, "What is Shiroi's current condition right now?"
"She's very weak," Yukina answered. "I have no idea how she was able to stop that fight earlier. Hiei believes that she will not survive the birth."
"I see," Naoru said. She noticed the look on Hikori's face and realized this was the first time he had heard this information. "I'll do all I can Hikori"
The boy looked up at her, "She was never that strong after I was born."
"That wasn't your fault Hikori," Naoru said, "I'm sure you know that."
The boy nodded, "Yeah, but I know that it's playing a part right now."
"Stop it Hikori," Hiei said sternly. Hikori closed his mouth, but still looked upset.
"Hiei," Yukina whispered, glaring at her brother.
-He should know better, - Hiei said.
-You didn't have to be so harsh. Here he goes and figures out something that's important to you, and then he finds out that Shiroi may not even get the chance to enjoy the fact that the child's not going to have to be killed. -
Hiei looked away from his sister, just as Hikori got himself to his feet and stumbled to the door. Yukina got up quickly and helped Hikori to walk back to his room, leaving Hiei with Naoru.
"How have you and Shiroi been getting along since you brought her home?" Naoru asked.
Hiei looked down at the sleeping form of Shiroi. "We've been somewhat distant. She won't meet my eyes, and I hardly come close enough to come into any sort of physical contact with her."
"How is she when she's awake?"
"Quiet, distant. Since she believes that the child is Chimera's it seems that she's ashamed to be near me."
"Hopefully that will change when she finds out," Naoru said.
Hiei nodded, and noticed Shiroi beginning to stir. "I guess we'll find out now."
Shiroi opened her eyes and looked around. "So that wasn't a dream."
"No Shiroi, it wasn't," Naoru answered. "Raimeihi is here to help protect you and Hikori from Chimera."
"Why would he do such a thing after all he did to me when he was first alive?" Shiroi asked.
"I'll explain it to you later," Naoru answered. "Right now there is something more important you need to know."
"What could be more important than knowing why that man is back here?" Shiroi asked.
"I believe the fate of the child you carry is more important," Naoru answered.
Shiroi's face saddened, "What's there to speak of it? Hiei will dispense with it as soon as I have it. There's nothing more to say about it."
"That's where you're wrong."
Shiroi glared at her mother, "Explain it to me then."
Naoru did just that, and once Shiroi knew the true father of the baby she was carrying, she burst into tears and clung to Hiei.

Author's Note: Okay, I think that's the last twist. I'll try and keep it straightforward form now on, but I can't make promises. Hope you guys are enjoying this fic, review me and tell me what you think.
