C/N: Ello! I'm hawk, and I just wanted to tell you a few quick things
before you read! First, I didn't write this story, shadow did, we both post
under the same name, thus shadowandhawk, and we usually correct each others
stories, but she seems to be posting impaired, so I do most of the posting
instead! Second, this story is already finished, and is about 60-70 pages
long, so don't bother to make suggestions as to what should be done in the
story...cause it's already written! Third, I will be posting new chapters
around once a week, but because of my large homework load lately, I might
not update on time...SO DON'T YELL AT ME!! And finally, flames are
accepted, because we are pyros and love to burn things, so FEED THE
FLAMES!!! Oh yeah, and when you see our notes in the story, I'm C/N and
she's A/N! Enjoy!
Tears of a Dragon
Chapter 1- the meeting
Written by Shadow
Corrected by Hawk
It has been 5 long years. Hiei hadn't seen any of his "friends" for a long time. Now he waits for his comrades to arrive, his crimson eyes not missing a thing.
Hiei gazed impassively out over the bleak landscape. Summer had come early this year and with it heavy rain and stinging winds. He jumped down out of the tree he had been standing in as the Yu Yu gang approached. They had asked him to help with this case. He had accepted only because Kurama had asked him. Hiei landed lightly in front of Kurama.
"What are we supposed to be searching for?" he asked Kurama in his usual icy tone.
"We aren't exactly sure ourselves...All that we do know is that it is a demon wanted for mass murder. It is a shape shifter, so it won't be easy to recognize." Kurama stated.
"And does this demon have a name?" Hiei questioned.
"It simply goes by Tao." Botan added.
"Well what are we standing here waiting for? He's supposedly somewhere in this forest, so let's split up into groups and get going!" Yusuke said.
* * *
The party had split into two groups. One was Yusuke, Botan and Kuwabara, the other was solely Hiei and Kurama.
"I think I have found something." Hiei said. Kurama came over and glanced at the scrap of cloth Hiei had found.
"That is from no ordinary demon..." Kurama said, "We are not alone here." he whispered silently, just so Hiei could hear.
"Don't turn around. There is someone here with us. Keep traveling forward. I will break off and travel in a circle to get behind them. Up ahead you will find a dry stream bed. Wait for me there. We can ambush them." Hiei said slipping into the woodlands.
Kurama kept his eyes in front and his wits about him. He reached the stream bed and heard no sign of his pursuer. He slipped behind a large tree and waited. He was completely unaware of a pair of large emerald green eyes that were watching him. Kurama looked up when he heard the leaves above him rustling, but found nothing.
* * *
Hiei had worked his way around and was behind where he thought his pursuer was. He used his third eye to try to sense his pursuer, but found nothing. He sighed and wondered if he had been wrong, when suddenly he was knocked flat. He quickly righted himself and unsheathed his sword, and in front of him was........a girl?
She looked at him with large emerald eyes: her violet hair tied back. She opened her mouth to speak, but quickly closed it as a stick snapped behind them.
"Please excuse me but we are in very grave danger." she said, grabbing his wrist and racing up a tree. When she had reached a high branch Hiei began to protest
"What do you think you are do...." he began but she clamped a hand over his mouth and pointed downward.
A large demon stepped out of the woods into the clearing where they had just been. The demon was unusually large and was a reddish color. It had the head of a wolf, the body of a human, the legs of a bull, a snake for a tail, and had long sharp fangs and claws.
"My friend is farther ahead, near the stream bed." Hiei said.
"Even if your friend is as strong as you he will stand no chance against that one. You stay here, and I will fetch your friend. That demon is out for my blood today. You should be safe here until I return." and with that she was off, bounding through the trees.
* * *
Kurama was startled when a young girl dropped out of a tree in front of him.
"If you would please follow me. Your friend is with me. There is no time to explain, but you are in danger here." and with that she led him into the greenery of the trees.
* * *
When the girl arrived with Kurama, Hiei was standing, watching the forest floor below.
"Your monster has left. I believe he has caught scent of Yusuke and the others." Hiei stated.
"Ohhh. You mean the black haired one with the tall stupid looking red- head and the blue haired girl who won't shut up?" the girl questioned.
"Yes. We came here with them, looking for a demon," Kurama explained, "How did you know?"
"I saw them earlier. The red-haired one had no respect for the plants, the girl could talk the birds from the trees, and the black haired one seemed like a complete idiot." she said innocently. "If that demon is heading towards them we had better get to them first. Who knows what it will do if it finds them. We can take a shortcut through the trees. Follow me." she said, leading them along a network of interwoven branches.
* * *
C/N: FINALLY! I'm finished typing that chapter! Still so many left though... -_- Oh well! Now you wouldn't want to put all my hard work to waste, would you? So why don't you press that purdy purple button that says go? It's calling to you. Can't you hear it?
Oh yeah, and as an extra fun feature to make my week brighter, I am going to ask a question every week of all you reviewers out there! There are bonuses to answering! I will randomly send responders chapters ahead of time, and some consistent responders might be included in future ff's by us! This weeks question is...
What are your top 3 favorite anime shows?
It may seem like a boring question, but I can't write better ones until I know what shows you guys watch! Anyways, until next time!
