Hiei's Harem - Pt. 15 - Moving

The time sequences in this sequel will seem to creep along, but remember, he is travelling with one pregnant demoness and a half a dozen or more children, lol. Plus he has a lot of “emotional” ground to cover before they reach the fortress. So enjoy the trip, my friends. :o)

Scene 5 ------------ Several Hours Later


* Hiei has kept the group moving at a slow, but steady pace. Neither of the stronger alphas he encountered had posed any threat as everyone had predicted. They both recognized his aura as soon as he flared and made themselves scarce. Now Hiei pulls up when he picks up another group approaching from behind him and slightly to his right flank. He turns to concentrate and just recognizes who’s coming when a voice calls him out of his concentration.


Tachimaru- Master!


* When Hiei turns to look toward the Tigress and sees that Chevaux is back down on one knee he blinks to her side. Sarista makes her way over, also.


Hiei- Mare?

Chevaux- I’m.. okay.. Just need to.. rest again.


* Tachi watches Hiei look back toward the approaching group again and touches his arm.


Tachimaru- That’s my brother and some of his subs coming.. I doubt that he means you any harm.

Hiei- But we’re no where near his territory.


* Hiei looks back down at the Horse demoness.


Hiei- There’s a stream not far ahead. Can you make it that far?


* Bravely, Chevie gets back up to her feet. When she nods Hiei looks at Sarista.


Sarista- I know. Stay close to her. You’re getting very predictable, ya know.


* Hiei ‘Hns’ with a roll of his eyes, then turns and leads the group in the direction of the stream. Just as they reach it and begin to settle in Hiei catches first sight of the four approaching Tiger demons. As he moves to get ready to meet them he feels Dagon and Habataro come up on each side of him and Minoro coming up behind him. As he glances around at his subordinates Tiyarmaru holds up a hand halting his own younger males. The leader of the Tiger clan then moves forward and kneels to show his lower position of respect. Tachimaru wanders over curiously.


Tiyarmaru- M’Lord.


* Hiei turns his attention back to the Tiger, but becomes curious about the hooded figure that’s dropped to the ground between a couple of the subordinates.


Hiei- Tiyarmaru. What brings you here?


* Tiyarmaru stands and looks at his sister.


Tiyarmaru- Are you well, sister?

Tachimaru- Hai. Have you come to see your new neices and nephew?

Hiei- Visit later. Who is this you.. bring?


* Just as he finishes asking the hooded figure lifts a black tail to wave it unenthusiatically. Tiyarmaru moves back to her and pulls the hood off of Sylk’s head. Hiei crosses his arms and scowls, but she refuses to raise her eyes.


Tiyarmaru- I figured this one would be a pain in your a--, Master. But I was surprised to catch her preparing to leave the region while on a hunting excursion not far from here.


Tiyarmaru looks back at Hiei.


Tiyarmaru- Especially since she still bears your mark.

Hiei- So you felt it necessary to drag her back to me?

Tiyarmaru- When a female abandons her mate it’s a serious show of rebellion.

Hiei- She didn’t.. abandon me.. I gave her the freedom to leave.


* Tiyarmaru turns to stare down at Hiei in disbelief. The Koorime scowls even more when the other three Tigers begin to murmur. Even Sylk lays her ears back at the whispered insults that they begin to throw toward Hiei.


Hiei- Tiyarmaru, if you don’t want to return to your territory alone I suggest you shut them up.

Sylk- I told you, you b------s! I refused to let this.. him.. touch me!


* One of the Tigers standing near Sylk growls down at her.


Young Tiger- Like we would believe a b---- that leaves her mate!

Hiei- Release her before I release your heads from your shoulders!


* The sound of Hiei unsheathing his katana and the change in his aura tells the group that he means business.


Tiyarmaru- Release her, boys.


* When the two younger males release Sylk from the ropes restraining her arms she stands and stumbles away a few feet before collapsing to her hands and knees once more. Since his jagan is still open behind his bandana Hiei assesses her condition quickly.


Hiei- Tachi, see to her.. She needs food.


* Tachimaru goes over to Sylk. When she tries to help her up the Pantheress growls.


Tachimaru- You would attack me, mistress?


* Tachi catches herself too late and gives a nervous half glance toward Sarista. Sylk quiets, lowers her eyes a moment, then allows Tachimaru to help her to her feet.


Sylk- I don’t need..

Hiei- Enough lying, Sylk. Go get something to eat.


* Sylk glances toward Hiei, then moves off with Tachimaru. She pauses to meet Sarista’s eyes briefly as they pass her.


Sarista- We have some deermeat sandwiches. They’re in the large basket over there.


* Sarista motions stiffly toward the basket that Celestia is in charge of. Sylk continues over. The Wolf demoness reluctantly lifts the lid to let her dig out a couple of the sandwiches. Sylk then moves away to an isolated spot to sit and eat. Celestia looks back at Sarista.


(#) Sarista- Not now, Cel.


* Sarista looks back toward Hiei and the others. The Tigers are obviously still a bit stunned with Hiei’s treatment of his ‘rebellious’ female. Sarista sighs quietly and goes back to Chevaux. Hiei looks back up at Tiyarmaru.


Hiei- It’s my business how I.. deal with my women.

Tiyarmaru- I know you’re a bit.. young.. I mean, not very.. umm.. Well, d--- it, if you’re gonna let her go you gotta take your mark off of her,.. sir.

Hiei- As she stated, she wouldn’t let me touch her.. Elementals need to touch their marks to remove them, Tiger.. are you getting the picture, now?


* The younger Tigers exchange glances, but hold their peace. Tiyarmaru scratches one of his rounded ears.


Tiyarmaru- Oh.. Then she meant to be rebellious.. as a means of some kind of suicide..

Hiei- I appreciate your concern, Tiyar.. But as I said, I will deal with her as I see fit. That is my right, is it not?

Tiyarmaru- Hai. It’s your right to deal with all of us as you see fit, M’Lord.. We meant no..


* Tiyarmaru quiets when Tachimaru comes back over. Hiei half glances up at the Tigress.


Hiei- You may visit with your sister now, Tiyarmaru. But keep your youngers in check.


* Before Tiyarmaru can say anything else Hiei turns and moves back to Chevaux. As she nibbles at her sandwich Sylk watches Hiei check Chevie with obvious concern. The Koorime then sits down behind her, embracing her to begin an energy sharing session. Sarista reaches over to touch his shoulder stopping him, though.


Sarista(Quietly)- You don’t want to be doing that.. right now.


* Hiei watches her glance toward the Tigers.


Hiei- They’re no threat, ‘Ris. I’m Tiyarmaru’s brother-in-law now. He won’t have me dead unless he wants his sister to suffer.. My Mare needs this.. She's going to have twins, 'Ris.


Chevaux looks over her shoulder at him.


Chevaux- I can wait. Don't take the chance, please.


* Hiei nuzzles her neck a couple moments, then stands with a grunt. The Mare misinterprets his attitude, of course. She reaches out and snags one of his legs before he can move away.


Chevaux- I’m sorry! I do appreciate the..

Hiei- Chevie,..


* Hiei lays a hand on her head then begins to rub one of her ears.


Hiei- You need to stop being so high-strung.

Chevaux- I can’t help it.


* Hiei chuckles, then nods and bends to give her a brief kiss.


Hiei- I know. And I can’t help ribbing you about it, either.. Now rest, I’ll check back later.


* Hiei moves away. Sarista meets Chevaux's eyes.


Sarista- Does he know the complications of twins in your..?

Chevaux- I don't know.. But if he don't, I don't want him to know. Please, Mistress. He has enough to worry about.


* Sarista sighs, then lays her hands on Chevaux's belly to check the babies. Sylk shifts her gaze to look around at the gathered pack. She can’t help but notice all of the offspring and how they affectionately greet Hiei as he moves amongst them, checking on his other females and mates. The Pantheress almost chokes when he pauses at Eboni and Lily. Sylk notices that the black Kitsune vixen is nursing one of her babies. Hiei strokes the baby girl, then leans to whisper in Eboni’s ear. The young girl blushes some, but nods and lets Hiei embrace her. The Koorime notices Sylk’s attentions, but turns his back to Eboni. When she sees that her daughter willingly accepts Hiei’s deep kiss and wandering hand that begins to make its way up her leg to slip beneath the thin robe she’s wearing Sylk lowers her eyes. ‘He is Eboni’s Alpha’, she finally admits to herself then forces herself to continue eating and ignore the refreshing session taking place between Hiei and Eboni. Hiei’s heightened awareness picks up Sylk’s thoughts, but it also picks up on Eboni’s shyness. He raises his head to look back down at her.


(#) Hiei- I won’t embarrass you, girlie.. But your Mother won't be interrupting us right now.


* Eboni gasps sharply and tightens her arms around him.


Eboni- No, please.. Don’t stop.. I want this.. I don't care what my Mother thinks.. Please, Mas-..


* He places a finger on her lips, glances toward the Tiger clan who are busy over with Tachimaru, then looks over at Lily.


Hiei- Fox, can you..?


* Lily just lays one of her hands on the ground beside her. In a matter of moments a hedge of thick bushes shoots up around the pair. Hiei smirks and looks back down at Eboni.


Hiei- Better?


* Eboni grins with a playful growl.


Eboni- Much.


* Hiei lowers his mouth back down to capture Eboni’s again. This time she meets his kiss much more openly. Her eagerness helps to dispell any of the reservations Hiei harbored within himself about having this encounter with his youngest mate. He gives himself fully to his possessive instincts, trusting that they’ll not let him be too rough with her, and probes his mouth down her jawline and neck until he finds his mark. When he sinks his fangs in Eboni’s cry of pleasure makes the whole camp look toward the bushy circle until Lily waves them back to their own businesses. Tiyarmaru looks back at his sister seated beside him.


Tiyarmar- Sissie, your mate is the..

Tachimaru- We know, we know. But he’s taking good care of us, Ti.


* Tiyarmaru nods firmly.


Tiyarmaru- Then that’s the only thing that matters to me, Tachi.


* Tachimaru nudges her brother affectionately then continues introducing her three cubs to her family since they’re now awake.
