Heh heh... I just can't stop writing about reincarnation! Here's another one of my MANY reincarnation fics, where Kurama ONCE AGAIN gets reincarnated as a girl. Damn! I gotta stop writing these things...
Oh yeah, and all characters belong to their original owners, blah blah blah, disclaimers and that kind of crap apply, yada, yada...
As far back as I can remember, I was always a peculiar child. I loved running out into fields and talking to the plants. My mother used to tell me that when we used to live in our old house, there was a rose bush that I would talk to everyday. I've always had a thing for plants, especially roses. I don't know why. Even as a senior in high school, I still loved plants. When I was in college, I majored in botany and was planning to become a botanist.
My name is Rosemarie Tatanaka. My father is Shuuichi Tatnaka and my mother is Karen Williams. My father is Japanese and my mother is Irish. That would explain my red hair and green eyes. I am 5 foot 3 inches, and I have a nice alto voice, as some of my classmates have said. My life has been of false friendships. Many people just wanted to be my friend for my looks or my brains. I really didn't belong anywhere. I've never felt whole. I always thought that I would live a normal life, with a normal family. But oh how times change...
I was sitting in the park, enjoying a sunny afternoon with my plants when a boy appeared next to me. He had spikey black hair with a white starburst, and black clothes. "Hello little boy, where are your parents?" "I have none," he replied coldly. "Oh. Well, what's your name?" "Hiei." I blinked at the name. Hiei? Why did that name sound familiar...
"Here." He handed to me a single red rose. It was so perfect. I took the rose and smiled. I looked up to thank him, but he had vanished. I walked away from the park, back to my house. I twirled the rose around my fingers, carefully avoiding the thorns. I wondered if I would see him again. Little did I know that I would be seeing him a lot in the future. I went home and went to bed, since I was too lazy to do my homework.
I woke up in the middle of night with a warm presence behind me. I turned, and was surprised to see the little boy from the park snuggled up against me! He looked so innocent, I couldn't help but kiss the boy on his forehead. His eyes shot open, and his hands reached up to my hair and pulled my lips down to his. He kissed me, and I felt fire rush through my veins. It felt so right to kiss him, but he was just a child! I pulled back, ashamed at taking advantage of the kid. But then he pulled me into his arms and he whispered into my ear, "I'm older than I look." He looked into my eyes, and found myself staring back. It took me a while to find my voice. I whispered, "How... How old are you?" "Much older than you," he whispered back. Then Hiei smiled at me, a soft, gentle smile. I dove into his arms, snuggling into the warmth. It felt SO right, it felt so good to be with him. I didn't care about the fact that he had broke into my room. I sighed contently into his chest and fell asleep.
It was like this for a couple of months. He would come into my room, sleep with me, and be gone by morning. I was never cold during those nights. Then one night he didn't come. Days turned into weeks, weeks to months. I graduated from high school and moved to an aparment to go to college. Life passed on. I thought Hiei had left me, so I tried to forget him. But I just couldn't. His dark eyes keep haunting me. Then the dreams came. Strange dreams, with a boy that looked almost like me. The dreams also had Hiei and a fox-man. I kept having these dreams for about a month. Then, on a cold stormy night, he came back.
That night, when Hiei came back, he had torn clothes, and he looked barely alive. I ran to him, and he told me everything. What he really was, who I really was, everything. He said to me, "Mukuro imprisoned me, but I managed to break free, to be with you." I knew at that moment, that I loved the little man, and he loved me. That night, the dreams stopped.
For a week I tended to his wounds, constantly hovering over him, helping him in anyway. I could tell he didn't want to be fussed over like this, but I couldn't help it. I felt so... connected to this man, no, this demon. I had always thought that demons were ugly monsters who were pure evil. But after knowing the truth about the world, my entire train of thought has been turned upside down. I knew that I wouldn't trust reality for a very long time...
About a year passed. Hiei has been living with me for an entire year. I am in my senior year in college, and I'm already looking for a job as a botanist. I even had my own rose bush outside in the garden. I walked outside one day, to check my roses. I was surprised to see Hiei there, sitting near them, just smelling them. "Hiei?" He turned to look at me, his eyes reminiscing. "He used to smell like roses." I looked at him, remembering what he had told me about myself. My past ability to manipulate plants. I reached out to a wilting rose, and willed it to grow. I stared at it for a while. Hiei looked at me, the look in his eyes saying that I was only human. But then a petal shuddered. Then another. And another. The rose was coming back to life! I was so happy! I finally managed to get some of my powers under control.
That night, Hiei drew me into the bed. He kissed me with tender lips. I trembled at his touch. He had told me that he loved me, several times. But I still couldn't help but feel out of place everytime he touched me, like I shouldn't be here. But here I was, making out with a fire demon. Reality had changed so much in the past year. I decided that I might as well enjoy this, since we loved each other so much. But that wasn't you. That was your past life. Do you love him now? Yes, I thought to myself as I pulled Hiei closer to me, pushing myself against him. He looked at me with an unspoken question, and I gave him an unspoken answer. I was ready. We pulled off our clothes, and I reveled in his heat, our heat. With gentle touches, he showed me everything he knew. Our heat grew, as our bodies became one. For the first time in my life, I felt truly whole.
That was then. Now I'm a 30 year old botanist with a Ph.D in botany. And Hiei still lives with me. We're married now, officially married, and we have a child. We named him... Kurama. He has black hair with white streaks, and has green eyes. He has a great ability to control plants, much greater than my power. I love him, and I love Hiei. I never would have guessed that my life would change so much with the appearence of one little fire demon. And you know that rose that Hiei gave me on that fateful first meeting? I still have it, in a vase. My son and I keep it alive. In fact, he has grown some new ones to join it. A black rose and a dark red rose join my original blood red rose. Times do change, ne? ^_~
