They finally found the location of the demons, a castle in the center of the forest, after several hours. Botan dropped Hiei off near the castle then left. When Botan was out of view, Hiei headed towards the demon-infested castle. There was a dirt path leading him through the thick forest toward the demon castle. A horde of demons surrounded Hiei once he made it to a wide-open clearing.
"Let me pass," demanded Hiei, the demons did not respond instead they pulled out a variety of weapons, from daggers and swords to bows and arrows and more.
The inevitable had battle began. Hiei lunged jumped forward and sliced off the head of a demon warm crimson blood splashed Hiei. He then swiftly side steps dodging a frontal assault Hiei jumps over the demon taking slicing off his arms and cracking his head open.
Soon more demons entered the gruesome battlefield. The sight of bright red crimson blood flying from demons through the air and littering the field, the sparks from steel clashing, the sound of screams, the pain, fear, determination, and the warmth of blood filled this particular battlefield.
Pain made its way through Hiei's limbs (this will refer to arms and legs because I do not know what else to use) and back, which is when a demon spoke, "Give up little one you can't escape your inevitable demise."
"Go to hell you scum," Hiei ran off when he killed that disgusting demon.
Hiei climbed into a tree so he would have peace as he pulled the weapons from his back, legs, and arms. The weapons hit the ground beside the trunk of the large shady tree. Blood flowed freely from the fresh wound and made his cloak stick to his back so he ripped it off and placed it on the branch. Unexpectedly some blood trailed off Hiei's arm and gravity took its effect. The blood drop landed on the head of a demon that was passing right under the branch Hiei resided in.
The demon looked up "there's the abomination, KILL HIM," the demon ordered, but Hiei jumped down slicing the demon to pieces.
Hiei was once again surrounded he dodges attack after attack and countering his own attack by chopping of limbs and heads. Hiei had also been fending off weapons that were flying at him he used his sword to block them.
It did not take long until his sword was knocked out of his hand. When Hiei went to get his sword that was now stuck in the ground several demons found an opening and flung weapons at Hiei. They buried themselves into his chest but then Hiei ripped it out and used them as his own weapons. Even though Hiei's aim was pathetic, he still killed and injured several demons. Hiei was struck in the back of the head by his own sword knocking him to the bloodstained ground.
A stupid demon tried to take a closer look but before he realized it was to late a dagger was thrust into his neck. Hiei did two back flips then speed towards the rest of the demons with the fist of the mortal flame. Hiei was defeating demons left and right, but long drawn out battle was finally taking its toll on Hiei's body. Breathing was becoming more difficult, more painful and his ki was draining from his weakened body.
In a last attempt, Hiei summoned the dragon of darkness flame ensnaring all the enemies in the black fire. The ashes traveled with the wind then disappeared. The slight breeze now became a furious storm. Hiei was free from the danger for now, he relaxed for an instant and his worn out body collapsed in a muddy puddle that was mixed in with the blood of his vanquished enemies and his own life's blood escaping from open wounds.
