Hiei's Harem: Pt. 7 - Consequences

Scene 15 ------------- Hiei's Ravine


* The apparition is relaxing under the rock ledge with Klarice, cradling her in his arms as they have an energy-sharing session. Hiei looks up when he feels Troiyoku wander over. As soon as the boy meets his eyes, though, he sighs and starts to turn away. Hiei smirks, already feeling his desires.


Hiei- You have a problem, Boy?


* Quietly, the boy shakes his head but stops leaving nervously.


Hiei- All you have to do is ask, Troyo.


* Troi stiffens, then looks back at Hiei sheepishly.


Troiyoku- Just.. ask?

Hiei- Hn.. You know that I can read you like a book.


* Troi sighs and faces Hiei fully.


Troiyoku- I would like to.. go see Coutaro.


* Klarice glances up at Troiyoku.


Klarice- Who?

Hiei- One of those Lynx brothers.

Klarice- An outsider?


* Hiei looks down at her.


Hiei- Not really. I own them, too.. I don't see them as outsiders. They bear my mark.


* Hiei looks back up at Troiyoku.


Hiei- You may go see him. But I want you back here by the morning meal.


* Troiyoku nods and bows slightly. Hiei still feels his apprehension.


Hiei- Just be careful. I don't want you getting too serious too soon.. Go on.


* Again Troi nods and flits away.


Klarice- You think that's wise?


* Hiei looks back down at his Ice hybrid.


Hiei- I noticed the attraction between those two right away.. Coutaro has proven himself worthy of being trusted. And I know that I can trust the boy.

Sarista- If you encourage them it may become serious.


* They both look up at Sarista who is now leaning against the rocky outcrop that forms the left side of the natural alcove. The Fire demoness is gazing off in the direction her son left. She then looks down at Hiei.


Sarista- Since Troi is your true mate he's ranked higher than that Cat.

Hiei- So?

Sarista- So, if they get serious Troi will be the alpha of that pairing.. Now all you have to do is match Gam and Silis up with the other two and it will cement your hold over them and their village.


* Hiei closes his eyes.


Hiei- D---, you are one shrewd b----,.. Babe.. But perhaps that wasn't my intention.


* Sarista shrugs then moves into the alcove to sit down close beside Hiei. Klarice starts to squirm away but Hiei holds her in place.


Hiei- We're not done.

Klarice- I've had enough for now, Sir.

Hiei- Will you relax?


* Klarice slowly obeys, casting a timid glance toward her Mistress. Sarista doesn't even seem to notice.


Sarista- Well, I guess there is a problem with that plan.

Hiei- Only one?


* Sarista looks at Hiei with a flare of anger in her eyes.


Sarista- Well it is a pretty d--- big one.


* Hiei sighs with annoyance and looks at Sarista again.


Hiei- What? If you mean about what Gam and Silis have going on, I already know.


* Sarista blinks at him a couple times before she answers.


Sarista- No.. I'm talking about Troi being a bearer that's currently pregnant to you.

Hiei- And just how.. is that a problem?

Klarice- Bearers are always submissives.


* Hiei looks down at the small female that's still cradled in his arms. She shrugs and hides her face against his bared chest.


Klarice- Sorry.

Sarista- Yes. We just can't help it.. It's in our nature to be submissive.


* Hiei snorts and looks back at Sarista.


Hiei- And you think that you are submissive, Woman?


* Sarista shrugs smugly.


Sarista- For a full blooded Fire demon I would say that I'm doing very well, thank you very much.. Sir.


* Hiei growls slightly. Something about her attitude never fails to irk him into arousal. The scent of his arousal spikes and invades Klarice's nostrils. Almost immediately she begins to probe his chest. Hiei leans further back against the cool rock wall behind him with a moan.


Hiei- Ahh.. d--- you two.


* Sarista looks at Hiei with amusement twinkling in her rubied eyes.


Sarista- My my, it really don't take very much anymore.


* Their potentially erotic fun is nipped short, though, when Hiei suddenly deposits Klarice in Sarista's lap and stands with his katana ready.


Hiei- Whoever you are, I can feel your presence!


* Hiei opens his jagan and scans around slowly until the shadowy outline of a very tiny demon is located. Hiei tilts his head, finding the being to be vaguely familiar as it sneaks into the clearing. He is about to strike when his memory becomes clearer.


Hiei- Shironji? (1)


* When he hears his name the shadow stops, then materializes to look up at Hiei curiously.


Shironji- M-Master Hiei?

Hiei- It's been ages since I've summoned you.. What the h--- are you doing here?

Shironji- I was sent..

Hiei- Sent?

Shironji- My clan have been working as spies for other demons since you seemed to have forgotten about us.


* Hiei sheathes his sword and crosses his arms as he glares down at the tiny demon.


Hiei- I had no need for your services once I was placed on Spirit World's parole for that stupid stunt I pulled.. I didn't see the need to draw your clan into my punishment.


* Shironji half bows.


Shironji- I told them it was something like that.


* Sarista and Klarice come over to look down at the tiny tailed demon.


Klarice- What is this ugly little creature?

Shironji- Who are you calling ugly, b-..?


* Hiei snatches Shironji up and gives him an angry squeeze.


Hiei- Her name is Klarice.. Lady Klarice to you, ya little b------.. And this one is my other mate Lady Sarista.

Sarista- It's a Ninjini (2) demon, Klarice.


* Hiei half glances toward her.


Hiei- Hn.. He's the head of a clan that I employed long ago. Ninjini are mostly used for spying and other covert tasks.. Now, who sent you here and why do they want to die?

Shironji- If I had known.. it was you that I was being sent to..


* Hiei gives him a quick squeeze again.


Hiei- Just tell me who sent you here!

Shironji- A.. demon by the name of.. Dagon, Master.. He's a very wealthy rogue in this.. region that does trading of various.. goods.

Hiei- And why would a rogue send you to spy on me?

Shironji- Word has spread to him about a new Alpha that has moved in.. A very strong one.

Hiei- Hn. That would be me.


* Shironji looks up at Hiei.


Shironji- Yes, of course.. I can feel how strong you've become..

Hiei- Since I owned you long before this.. Dagon.. where do your loyalties lie, Shironji?

Shironji- With you, as always, Master.


* Hiei nods, closes his jagan, and releases the tiny demon.


Hiei- Come, Shironji. Let's take a walk and discuss this idiot who's so interested in me.

Sarista- Hiei,..?


* The Koorime turns to glance over his shoulder at her.


Hiei- We'll resume when I return.. Rogues aren't to be taken lightly.. But since he's a trader he may be of some kind of use.


* Hiei scowls when he sees the way the females exchange worried glances at each other. He turns to face them fully.


Hiei- Did I not give my word that I wouldn't sell any of.. my children?!


* They both nod.


Hiei- Then trust me.. There are other ways that I can use a trader.


* Hiei turns and walks away with the tiny demon floating beside him.


Klarice- I wonder how that demon got past the barriers?

Sarista- Ninjini can de-materialize and slip through most any kind of barrier.. They are very well-skilled in many such devious ways.

Klarice- Oh.. Then it's very fortunate that Master Hiei knows this one.

Sarista- Hn.. Our Alpha is a surprise a minute.


* Klarice giggles.


Sarista- Why don't we go up to the waterfall?

Klarice- I-I haven't gone near the river since..

Sarista- Then now's a great time.. The river is quite protected now, Klarice.


* Klarice shrugs with a sigh and follows Sarista away from the alcove.


Sarista- Come on, Sisters.. Let's go play in the waterfall pool.


* Without any reservations all the others follow the two up the path toward the Waterfall Meadow.

*******************

(1) Shironji- This is that little demon that you may recall Hiei used to spy on Keiko in his earlier appearances of the show. I don't think a name was ever given to that demon, so unless someone knows it and let's me know he shall be called Shironji. Just a name that sounded good to me, but has no fancy meaning.

(2) Ninjini- Again, I made this name up. I sorta slanged it to sound like ninja cause that's basically what I'm going to use him like in this fic.

I'm going to be busy this weekend so I've posted a few scenes to keep ya busy. ;o)
