Kurama's Keeper

48: She's Family

Hiei : Kurama. How's Arina now ?

Kurama checks the glass keychain again . It was cracking even more " this is not good. "

Hiei : stupid Arina. Hold on.

Kurama: hiei. You're really worried about her huh ? It's not just owing her. Is it ?

Hiei sighed " I'll tell you. Don't tell the others. "

I was abandoned and threw off a palace that was held high in the sky. I landed on the ground and didn't die . As a baby, anyone would say that I'm lucky for surviving it. That's when I met her.

This little girl picked me up and brought me back to her home. She took care of me and raised me until I was just a little bit bigger. She understood that I understood what people were talking unlike other babies. I was just a toddler than.

Yet she understood my talents and desire to kill.

Arina: hiei. This is not the place for you. You're bloodthirsty. I can tell. You are the , like slicing stuff up type. You laugh whenever you see blood.

I didn't answer. I was a toddler. But I understood what she meant.

Arina : this is not abandoning you. If you need me, come find me.

So she gave me to a bunch of bandits where I honed my skill and became who I am today.

Hiei: although she didn't do much for me, she sent me to the right place. She knew what I needed to become.

Kurama : she's family to you . Like yukina.

Hiei : ah. I was going to kill you if you treated her bad.

Kurama: I'm glad I didn't then.

Hiei : that scum. I'll kill him for doing this to Arina. She didn't even want to tell me what happened in the past until you told me.
