Chapter 13:Two Tailed
Hiei watched the girl through out the night. He watched as Kurama came in every two hours to check on her, and he watched as Yukina came in to see what progress she was making.
{Stupid girl, so many people care about you. Wake up!} Hiei growled. The girl's new body was longer, was leaner, and it seemed it was more agile. Hiei continued to watch over her, concerned about her mental health.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NYAKO ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Nyako felt the cold air around her physical body. It was breezy, and it felt like sharp needles through her skin. She wanted to open her eyes, but her eye lids felt too heavy so she gave up.
{Another few minutes won't kill me.} She thought. Her body recognized her new appendages and she swished her tails underneath the blankets.
“Nyako.” The voice called. Nyako smiled at the familiar voice, happy that it had followed her. It was the only thing that felt real to her. “Open your eyes, Nyako.” The voice called again. Nyako realized that it wasn't in her head anymore. The voice had followed her into the physical world now. Slowly Nyako opened her eyes and sat straight up. The voice was in the shadows again, with her long hair and her magenta eyes.
“Who..??” Nyako asked. The figure stepped forward and the moon light outside caught the voice's face. It was beautiful, and it was almost an exact mirror. “M-Mom?” Nyako stuttered.
“Hey neko-chan.” Her mother said casually.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ HIEI ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Hiei noticed that Nyako was sitting straight up in bed. He thought about going to sit with her, to check with her; but he noticed that she was having a conversation; with no one. Hiei jumped down from the tree to listen to the conversation.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NYAKO ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Her mother's appearance looked younger than what Nyako had last remembered her.
“But…But… YOU ARE DEAD!” Nyako cried. Her mother laughed and sat down on the futon with Nyako.
“Yeah, I guess I am.” Her mother smiled. Nyako rushed towards her and hugged her tightly, but there was no solid figure to hug.
“Damnit!” Nyako sobbed. She pulled herself back up and looked at her saddened mother. “I just wanted to hug you again, to smell your perfume one more time. Damnit! Damnit!” Nyako's hands trembled as her tears fell onto the bedding.
“Hey… Relax. You are okay. I know this is hard. I'm only here for a while.” Nyako's mother reminded her. Nyako looked up at her mother and memorized her features. The resemblance between her mother and her was startling. The only thing different between them was their eyes. Her mother's were soft, delicate almost. And Nyako's were rough, and almost stone.
“Why were you pushing me so hard?” Nyako asked. Her mother shrugged.
“The one before me did it to me. It is just how we all go. I am sure you will do it for someone when you are gone. Provided you give your father some grandbabies.” Her mother teased her. Nyako smiled and nodded. Her mother seemed so real, like she would just get up and start making Nyako lunch at any moment.
“Why am I like this?” Nyako said. Her mother tilted her head and thought of an appropriate answer.
“Because we are supposed to be this. There isn't really an answer sweetie. You had a choice in this, and you chose to be this.” Her mother reminded her.
“Only because I would have died other wise!!” Nyako exclaimed. Nyako's mother nodded.
“Yes, but it was your will to survive that allowed you to reach down and find yourself. It is really up to you right now to decide how you want to live with these gifts.” Nyako's mom told her. Carefully, Nyako's mom raised her hand and went to brush away the hair in front of Nyako's face. Nyako only felt the cold air hit her forehead.
“I'm sorry mom. I'm so sorry that I've blamed you. I love you. I really do!” Nyako cried. She buried her face in her hands and she sobbed. All of the tears that she had hid from the world finally made their way out into the open. The cold air hit Nyako's body and even without looking up, she knew her mother was gone. There wasn't any more pain between them, just a sense of longing to see one another again. “I love you…” Nyako whispered.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ HIEI ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Hiei noticed that Nyako didn't talk to herself for a while after she started to cry. Silently he jumped into the room and sat on her futon. Her black hair covered her face and her tails were motionless. It was the first time that Hiei thought about the girl as being a youkai. There had never really been a thought as to what she would look like in her new form. But she was beautiful.
“She's gone.” Nyako said to the Koorime. Hiei nodded and out of instinct, pulled the nekomatta close to him. She cried silently and clung on to him. Nyako imagined her mother teasing her and laughing, and it hurt her more to cry.
“But you aren't.” Hiei reminded the girl. Nyako nodded and she looked up at the Jaganshi. His eyes were softer than she remembered, and she wondered how bad she must look to cause pity in his eyes. Hiei brushed her hair away from her face in a quick motion. He was gentle with her because he didn't want to see her like this. A dangerous creature in such pain was an odd sight to Hiei, and he just wanted to see her smile or attack or do something he was more familiar with.
“Thank you, Hiei.” Nyako spoke softly. The Jaganshi nodded and stood up, motioning for Nyako to follow him out into the temple. She felt the noise of the temple sink into her ears, and she knew that the tante was gathered in the dining room. Slowly she stood up too, opening the door and following Hiei.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DINING ROOM ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Kurama was surprised to see Hiei enter the dining room, but his surprise was magnified when he saw who was following him. Nyako stood in the door way, awkward with her tails in her hand and her eyes glancing around the room. Kurama stood up quickly, startling everyone at the table.
“Uhmm… hi…” Nyako spoke quickly, not sure what to say to the group of expecting people. Yusuke laughed and slapped his knee.
“You have got to be kidding me!! Are you still the same girl?!” Yusuke smiled. Keiko hit him over the head but smiled too. “OW!”
“Yeah… I guess so…” Nyako said. She wasn't sure how to act around all of the tante, considering that this was just normal to them.
“Sit.” Hiei demanded. He motioned over towards Kurama, who was smiling from ear to ear and looked like the happiest kid in a candy store. Nyako silently walked over towards him and found herself pulled into the biggest hug she had ever felt.
“God I was so worried…” Kurama whispered into her cat ear. He kissed each one gently and pulled her as close as he could. Nyako blushed and felt the warmth of his hands on her face.
“Ecchhheeemmm.” Yusuke interrupted, pointing over towards the rest of the group who had nervous expressions on their faces.
“Oh right. We won't be back.” Kurama smiled and pulled Nyako back down the hall towards her room.
{I have to talk to you.} He told her.
{I figured as much.} She replied.
Kurama pulled her into the room she had just come from. He looked over her and felt chills wash over him. The moon light caught her pale face and her fierce eyes and illuminated them. Nyako looked at the red head and noticed his generally green eyes were golden, a liquid amber. She let her hands wander up towards his face and feel his skin. It was warm, and his eyes spoke more than the words he wanted to say.
“Boy wonder…??” She asked him. Kurama felt the worry and the fear well up over the lust and finally take him down. Kurama felt his knees get weak, and he let himself drop to the ground carefully. Nyako grabbed his shoulders and leaned him towards her.
{I'm so sorry. I just… I was so worried, and… I thought you might die if you didn't choose to come back.} Kurama thought.
{Shh. I'm back because of you. Because of everyone. I've apparently got a lot to take care of.} Nyako reassured him. Kurama smiled at her and pulled her close to him. Her warmth seemed like a reassuring message that every thing was going to be fine.
“Stay with me.” Kurama asked Nyako softly. Nyako nudged his side playfully.
“Where else would I go?” She said. Kurama shook his head.
“No. Forever. Stay with me forever.” Kurama turned his head and looked at Nyako, her black cat ears, her two tails swishing on the floor nervously. Nyako's eyes were wide, and she met his gaze confused.
“For-forever forever?” She said. Kurama nodded.
“The only kind of forever that I am aware of.” He responded. Nyako laughed nervously. She felt her tails thump against the ground excitedly.
“Uhhh…” Nyako thought. Kurama laughed.
“You don't have to answer right now. But soon. I want you with me, no matter where I go. We can always run off to the Makai for a few years… or I can wait if you want to go to college. I don't care. I want you with me.” Kurama finished. He was looking at the ceiling, like it held more importance than Nyako's big eyes did. She could feel her heart jumping in her chest, and her eyes were as wide as they could possibly be.
“Is that like some weird marriage proposal? Because if it was… it really sucked. You should be on one knee and all that jazz…” Nyako propped herself up on her elbows and stared at the kitsune, who finally turned to look at her. Kurama sighed and rolled over till he was straddling Nyako's waist.
“Would this be better?” Kurama smirked. Nyako's face turned a deep crimson color and she was covered in a magenta mist again.
“I warned you!” Nyako yelled. Kurama laughed as he looked at Nyako's full nekomatta form. She looked like a fuzzy little kitten with two tails.
“Come here you.” Kurama picked up Nyako and scratched her behind the ears. Nyako purred happily and tried to scratch Kurama to get him to stop.
{I hate you.} Nyako growled.
{I love you.} Kurama laughed.
{Shut up and scratch the other ear.} Nyako demanded. {I love you too…}
{I know.} Kurama smiled.
