Hiei's Harem - Pt. 12 - Dominating

Scene 24 --------- The Next Morning


* Hiei stirs awake, sensing a familiar presence close to him. This helps him to relax and sort out his memories as he becomes more alert. Sarista glances at Hiei, then dislodges Troiyoku’s daughter Gimei from her breast.


Sarista- Enough ya little glutton.


* She tickles the little ebony-haired girl making her giggle. Hiei works himself upright when he hears the sound.


Sarista- Go play now, Gimmie.


* Gimei stands. When she meets Hiei’s like-colored eyes she bows respectfully.


Gimei- Morn-ing,.. Papa.


* She then turns and runs off. Hiei watches her go.


Hiei- That’s.. Troyo’s.

Sarista- Hai. He and Coutaro spent the night.. celebrating.. in the other cave.


* Hiei drops his eyes, refusing to look at Sarista. She feels his guilt and touches his arm.


Sarista- Hiei, please don’t..

Hiei- I had no choice.. but to claim her.. I’d already killed the one who owned her and the others.

Sarista- You’ve come too far to let such guilt cripple you now. I won’t allow it, Master.


* Hiei sighs heavily and looks at her finally.


Hiei- I’m.. sorry.. And I can probably count on one hand the number of times that I’ve uttered that phrase.. and truly meant it.


* Sarista smiles.


Sarista- It’s not like I’m dead or banished.. As long as I stay in my place.


* Sarista looks toward the entrance when Sylk enters. The Pantheress stops and crosses her arms.


Sylk- Right now, your place is outside making our breakfast with the other b----es.


* Hiei scowls as he watches Sarista stand and hurry out. Sylk meets his eyes briefly.


Sylk- We’ll see how long that lasts.


* Sylk moves toward a pile of furs. Hiei lowers his eyes to begin rubbing the back of his sore neck.


Hiei- I’d prefer that you call them females.. or Sisters.

Sylk- Hmph.. Well, I spent the night delivering.. Sister Loreen’s baby.. I’m too exhausted and hungry for.. pleasantries.


* Hiei looks back toward her in time to watch her pull back the top fur blanket. Sylk leers toward him when she finds a still-deeply-sleeping Staci.


Sylk- Breakfast, lunch, or dinner?


* Hiei growls and blurs over to push Sylk back. She watches him pull the cover back up over the pregnant human gently. Hiei then turns to glare at her again.


Hiei- Neither! Her name is Staci..

Sylk- She’s a human.

Hiei- It wasn’t her choice to be brought here when she was just a child.

Sylk- Ahh.. Before Enki’s pathetic laws then, hmm?

Hiei- Hn.

Sylk- She’s pregnant.

Hiei- No s---.


* Sylk studies Hiei’s protective stance a moment, then turns and moves toward the spring bucket on the wall where she scents fresh, cool water.


Sylk- Yours?

Hiei- Of course.

Sylk- You could’ve put her out of her.. dilemma.


* Hiei is quieted a moment when Sylk brings him a cup of the cool spring water. His instincts understand the gesture and he accepts it tentatively.


Hiei- She had nobody there to return to.. It was her decision to stay..

Sylk- I wasn’t speaking about releasing her.


* Hiei stops sipping the water to glare back up at Sylk.


Sylk- And of course you had no trouble impregnating her.. with the strength you possess.


* Sylk has stayed close to Hiei, so he catches a noseful of her enticing scent. He was momentarily distracted, but her words anger him again.


Hiei- When she came into her cycle it was out of our hands.. As much as you carrying this offspring was out of yours.


* Sylk lifts a hand to touch her greatly swelled belly.


Sylk(Quietly)- Twins.. A girl and a boy.


* Hiei hesitantly lifts one of his own hands to touch her belly.


Hiei- Kurama’s.

Sylk- Their only redeeming quality.


* Hiei growls and moves away to return the cup to the shelf beside the bucket.


Hiei- I shouldn’t be angry at your bitternesss, cat.. I grew up very acquianted with that emotion.

Sylk- Is that so?


* He turns to face her again. Before he snaps off at her again he realizes that she really doesn’t know anything about him.


Hiei- I was born from a forbidden union between fire and ice.. My sire was a Fire demon.. My mother a Koorime.

Sylk- The Ice women that separate themselves on some floating island.. I’ve heard of them..

Hiei- When I was born I was thrown off that island because I was a male.

Sylk- Yeah. Those b----es are cold.

Hiei- Hn. Almost as much as you’re trying to be.


* Sylk scowls. Hiei waves a hand to stave off her planned reply.


Hiei- Yeah, yeah. I know.. You had to get this way to take care of your pack.. Well, I got bitter because I was taken in by a gang that thought I was their.. special playtoy.


* Hiei looks away from her scrutinizing eyes.


Hiei- I was raped, bartered, and molested until I finally matured a pair of balls and started fighting back.. After I wiped out the last gang that owned me I was free.. But that didn’t mean a h--- of a lot to a ten-year-old rogue demon.


* Hiei quiets in contemplation of his own quick maturity until Sylk speaks again.


Sylk- Hn.. And look at you now.. All grown up and the Ultimate Alpha of your very own region.. You’ve finally succeeded where nobody else around here could.


* Hiei looks up at her again as she moves back up closer to him.


Sylk- And I’m your Alpha mate.

Hiei- That doesn’t mean I’ll stop.. taking care of my other mates.. It’s my duty to do so.

Sylk- And that includes this human?

Hiei- Hn. As well as the ones from your pack.. Speaking of, how is the Leopardess doing?

Sylk- She and the baby are well. It’s a boy.

Hiei- Heh. That must’ve put a kink in her tail.

Sylk- Ahh, so you’re used to our attitudes towards men.

Hiei- I’d love to tell you where you both can shove that attitude.


* Hiei starts toward the entrance to get some fresh air. He really has no desires of any such kind toward the Pantheress at this time. Sylk glances back toward the pile of furs. Hiei stops and looks back at her.


Hiei- She’s one of your subordinates.. You will not harm her.


* Sylk snorts, then shakes her head and follows Hiei out of the cave. The table is full of food.


Hiei- I was just informed that one of my females in the village had her baby last night.. I’m going to go see them.

Sarista- We’ll save you some.


* Sylk looks toward the pack.


Sylk- We don’t eat until our Alpha eats!


* Hiei raises a hand to rub the bridge of his nose.


Hiei- D---, just when I had all of them trained.


* Sylk looks down at Hiei puzzled.


Hiei- My pack, my rules.. My rule is that the pack eats when it’s ready.

Sylk- But that’s not proper!


* Hiei turns and yanks Sylk’s head down closer to him with a handful of her long, black hair.


Hiei- Listen, and listen well. Sometimes I may go for days without eating. Therefore, I figured it senseless to maintain that stupid rule.. Understood, cat?


* Sylk feels his dominating aura wash over her in a wave so thick it nearly forces her to her knees. But she refuses to bow. Hiei growls.


Hiei- If I were going by the Alpha’s handbook I would right now have grounds to rip your pretty head off your shoulders.. Now, do you still wish to continue following protocol.. or do you learn to do things my way?


* Sylk contemplates her choices until Hiei shakes his head and releases her with a shove.


Hiei- Whatever.. If you wish to wait, then you may do so.. But I’m giving the others my permission to eat when they’re ready.. Any objections?


* Sylk crosses her arms.


Sylk- No,.. sir.


* Hiei stares at her a moment more then turns and blinks away. Sylk looks toward the others.


Sylk- Fine.. Do as you please.. I will honor that little.. Alpha and wait.. As will my daughter.


* Eboni stops her motion of being seated at the table, glances around, then shrugs and moves away to sit under the Lookout Ledge. Sylk hmphs and turns her back on the rest of the pack. They all shrug and continue to sit and eat their meal chattering as they usually would.
