Perfect, but in another way…
Chapter 4: The first has the desire to destroy the second
Kaliope, Botan, Yukina, and Keiko came back to Genkai's temple after three hours. Kaliope had 1 bag in each hand, Keiko had only one in her left hand, Yukina the same and Botan had 2 bags in each hand. They were all smiling and chatting.
Yusuke, Kurama and Hiei were back from Koemna's and they were in the living room when Yusuke saw the girls coming.
"There comes Keiko…hope she's not very mad on me…" he said as shivers went up and down his back.
"Calm down. She won't kill you" said Kurama smiling.
"She has other ways to make me suffer more. Sometimes I would like that she would kill me but she likes making me suffer" Yusuke said and fear was in his voice.
Kurama chuckled and Hiei "hn"-ed. Yusuke kept thinking about what Keiko would tell him until the four girls came in. The door of the temple was heard and Botan's yell after.
"WE'RE HERE!" the pink-eyed girl yelled.
'So this is a normal way in this place' thought Kaliope remembering how Yusuke yelled almost the same thing when he and Kaliope came to the temple.
The four girls walked into the living room where the boys were.
"Hello" said Kurama smiling.
"Hi" answered the four girls in one voice.
"Hi Keiko" said Yusuke smiling.
"Hello Yusuke" Keiko said smiling back.
'She doesn't seem to be upset on me…' Yusuke thought.
"Did you have fun shopping?" asked Kurama.
"Yeah" said Botan while she was dragging Kaliope to a room.
Yukina and Keiko left their bags in the living room and sat down on the floor (you know…Japanese stile).
Botan and Kaliope entered a nice room. The walls were painted in different shades of red and black. The bed was in front of the door on the other wall. Above the bed was an opened window. The curtains were a very dark shade of red. The covers of the bed were black and red. In the room were a wardrobe (on the same wall as the door) and a desk (on the wall that was on the right of the door) and a vase with roses on the desk. On the desk there also was a note-book and a clutch pencil. The clutch pencil was black and the notebook had black and red covers.
"How nice this room is. Who stays in here?" said Kaliope her eyes turning a very dark shade of black.
"You" answered Botan smiling.
"What do you mean?" Kaliope asked.
"Until you find the one that killed the maidens you would stay with us, okay?" Botan said grinning.
"No. I would disturb you and I don't want that" said Kaliope shaking her had.
"You won't disturb any of us…okay Hiei is disturbed even by himself so he isn't that important in this sentence" said Botan smiling.
"Thank you Botan!" said Kaliope hugging Botan.
"Your welcome" said Botan after the two girls finished hugging. "I leave you to prepare your room. Me and the others, we'll be outside" Botan continued.
"Why would you be outside?" Kaliope asked.
"Because is our time for training. If you want you could come" Botan said smiling.
"I will come" said Kaliope and Botan left.
Kaliope closed the door after her and laid on the bed.
'How nice it is here. I don't know if father was right or wrong but I will give Botan some of my trust…' thought Kaliope and she closed her eyes.
She saw her father and Cheen and smiled. They were waving to her but after that they disappeared. Kaliope opened her eyes and got up. She took her black boots (the ones with the pockets for her knives); she put the knives in the pockets and took some clothes. She went to the bathroom (her room had a bathroom connected to it). When she got out she looked in the mirror that was on one of the doors of the wardrobe. She smirked.
Kaliope was dressed in her black trousers (those from Makai) and her black kind of T-shirt (from Makai). She put two black bandanas on each of her wrists. Her ears popped out from her head and looked somewhat cute and her tail popped out from the back of her trousers.
The cat-demon went out of the room closing the door behind her. She walked until she reached a window. What she saw surprised her. Kurama and Hiei were training/fighting. She smirked when she saw that the Kitsune and the Koorime fought pretty good.
She walked outside of the temple and to the training field. There Botan, Keiko and Yukina waved to her and she ran to them.
"Nice outfit, Kaliope" said Keiko smiling.
"Yeah it's very nice" said Botan.
Yukina nodded agreeing with Botan.
"Thanks. My adoptive mother, Kana, made it for me," Kaliope said smiling.
"You loved her like your real mom, didn't you?" asked Botan smiling.
"Yeah" said Kaliope smiling.
Before Botan, Kaliope, Keiko, or Yukina could say another thing Yusuke's voice took their attention.
"Hiei wins, Kurama looses!" the spirit detective yelled.
Kurama was down on the earth. He rose on both of his feet and shook hands with his best friends, Hiei. The Koorime smirked and turned to leave when…
"I want to fight you!" yelled Kaliope towards him in a calm voice as her eyes turned a deep shade of green.
"What?" asked Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Keiko and Botan in one voice.
"I said that I wanted to fight with him" Kaliope said in the same calm voice.
"But he is too strong" said Yusuke.
"Yeah, Hiei is stronger than you, Kaliope" said Botan.
"Hiei is in a way stronger than me, but in another way he is weaker than I am" said Kaliope.
When Hiei heard the word "weak" and his name in the same sentence turned around to face the girl that said it. Hiei and Kaliope locked eyes. Neither Kaliope's nor Hiei's eyes let out their feelings. Hiei couldn't see that in Kaliope's eyes anger and rage were flying. Kaliope couldn't see that in his eyes surprise and anger flout.
"You dare to fight me?" Kaliope said smirking.
"Hn" he answered and went to the battlefield. Kaliope did the same walking slowly and keeping all her power and energy locked inside of her as no one could detect her real strength.
They were now facing each other. Kaliope was reading Hiei's powers and she was smirking for herself.
'Fire, ice and darkness. Not a big deal. Fire is the strongest, ice is locked and darkness is the weakest but…as far as I can see…he will use darkness. His speed seems to be good and his katana skills…I bet they are great. Father was right when he talked about him. He is really strong…but not as strong as I am' Kaliope thought.
'Darkness and ice. I can feel these elements in her aura but she won't let me see how strong she is. She is good in hiding all her powers. I can't read them and I can't enter her mind either. She is strong…almost as strong as I am' Hiei thought.
"You can begin!" yelled Yusuke.
Kaliope didn't move. Neither Hiei moved.
"You can have the first move" she said calmly towards Hiei.
"Be my guest in having the first move, baka onna" he said back.
'Baka, right? If you say so' she thought and little dark sparkles went around her right hand.
She raised her hand in front of her face and a sword of darkness appeared. Its blade was as pure as night stars and its handle was the color of the night sky. Kaliope looked at it and smiled. It was a pure smile, not evil at all.
'It's been a long time since we fought, wasn't it?' she said to the sword and her power in her mind.
Kaliope looked at Hiei. He wasn't at all surprised by what she did. Meanwhile he unsheathed his katana and he was giving Kaliope one of his death glares.
In the next second he was near her. She dodged his attack by lying a little on the back. The blade of Hiei's katana went exactly over her throat but she didn't care. Hiei left himself opened. She fast took her sword up and placed it at his throat. The fight was so short that Kaliope was bored.
He smirked and disappeared. Kaliope's eyes became black when she realized that the fight was not over yet.
Hiei was again in front of her at some distance. He sheathed his katana but not in order to leave the fight. He was preparing for hand-to-hand combat. Kaliope's sword disappeared and she prepared for hand-to-hand combat.
In a few seconds it began. He tried to throw a punch at her, but she blocked it throwing him a few steps behind. She tried to hit him in his belly but he dodged her attack. He was fast and so was she but there was a thing that buttered Hiei.
'Why isn't she using her powers? She is fighting me with pour strength not power or energy!' he was upset at this thought. 'She's taking ME easy!" he yelled in his mind and put some more energy in his punch. It hit his destination and Kaliope went flying threw the air but for her pure luck she landed on the earth.
'Damn you Hiei!' she yelled in her mind as she got up and wiped away some blood from her lower lip.
'What if I use some of my power?' she said smirking at the thought and unleashing some of her power. 10 to be exact. It went like a wave to everyone and they thought that this was all her power. Wrong for them.
She rose in to the air like flying. She was using all the particles of darkness that were into the air and there were plenty.
"Wanted to see my power, right, Hiei?" she said towards the Koorime that was in front of her.
"Hn" he said.
"Okay then. Here is my power. Let's see if you can handle it!" she said her eyes a deep shade of green.
She placed her hands as if she was holding an arrow.
"Dark arrow!" she yelled and a pure arrow made of darkness appeared in her hands. It was so beautiful that all the eyes remained on it.
It was made of a thing like wood but it didn't have any eminence. Its surface was so smooth and its point was blood red. Kaliope smiled and looked at Hiei. He was, let's say, a little surprised but not a big deal. Someone that looked at him could EASILY not see that he was surprised, but Kaliope saw it. She smirked to herself.
'Hey! Why the hell do I care if he is or not surprised by my powers? I know what my powers can do and that's all I must care!' she yelled at herself.
In the next minute she released the arrow. Hiei tried to duck but no chance. He tried to run but the arrow was exactly in his back. Kaliope was smirking evilly. She was waiting for this ever since she met Hiei. He tried his katana to destroy the arrow but the arrow had a special shield around it.
Kaliope was smiling evilly and she was also desperately trying to not burst out in laughing. Unlike her, Yusuke and Kuwabara were laughing the hell out of them. Kurama was trying to not laugh and Botan was wide eyed, surprised by the situation in which Kaliope put Hiei. Yukina tried not to laugh and Keiko was having a trouble not bursting out into laughing.
At one moment Kaliope decided that it was time to take her arrow away from Hiei.
"Tired of running, Hiei?" she asked ironically.
"Hn" was his answer.
"Perhaps if you would be nicer I would take my arrow away…" she said smiling evilly.
"Take it away!" he demanded.
"Say please" Kaliope demanded back.
He didn't answer. He kept running with the arrow behind him. Kaliope smiled even more. Her eyes were a deep black. She was happy because he realized her truly power.
"Take it away!" he demanded again but in more pissed off voice.
"Say please" she said again.
"No" he yelled.
"Then…have fun with my arrow…and by the way…after 15 minutes of running my arrow starts to get pissed off and starts to kill the one she's running after" Kaliope said smiling.
"Damn it!" Hiei whispered under his breath. He had only one option to get rid of that damn arrow. He didn't want to use his last weapon against a simple arrow but he was getting very irritated by that thing.
He turned around and unsheathed the bandages he had on his right hand. He revealed the tattoo of the Dragon of the Dark Flame.
'So this is the Dragon. The second thing that was born from fire and darkness…let's see which is more powerful…the first one…or the second one…' she said to herself thinking of a tale her father told her.
FLASHBACK
In Kaliope's memories we see her and Ryouko sitting on the same rock where Kaliope sat the night before she left the thieves. Kaliope is 14 years old. She looks at the night sky. Her father is besides her and silence seems to be their best friend until…
"Kaliope I must tell you something about Darkness" Ryouko said to his adoptive daughter.
"Yes father. I am listening" she said smiling. Ryouko smiled back.
"You know that your arrow, Dark Arrow is born from Darkness and Fire and you also know how it got born" Ryouko said and Kaliope nodded. "Some seconds after Dark Arrow got born her twin brother got born. This twin brother is The Dragon of the Dark Flame. I've told you last year about the spirit detectives" Ryouko continued and Kaliope nodded again. "One of them, the one named Hiei, controls this dragon. The dragon is Hiei's only power upon Darkness. If you ever find Hiei and fight him you must take care of his dragon. It is said that the first one to be born, I mean Dark Arrow, it is meant to defeat the second born, I mean The Dragon of the Dark Flame, but no one knows how the future would be, so my daughter, take care" said Ryouko smiling.
"I will, papa" said Kaliope smiling.
END FLASHBACK
Kaliope came back to reality from her memories just in time to see Hiei letting go of Dark Arrow's brother, The Dragon of the Dark Flame. She smiled as the mighty Dragon went straight to the little Arrow. Kaliope just watched what would happen. Hiei smirked in a way that showed that he thought that he was the winner.
The Dragon went straight to the Arrow and the Arrow stopped. The Dragon tried to open its mouth but sensed his twin so stopped. The Arrow and the Dragon "looked" at each other as Kaliope smiled even more.
The Dragon seemed to know who the Arrow is. When Kaliope's Arrow sensed her brother a weird thing happens. The Arrow disappeared in a cloud of dark energy. Kaliope's eyes widen just a little and Hiei smirked. But before the Dragon could clime his victory the energy surrounded it. Kaliope realized what her Arrow was going to do and decides to put an end to all. She raised her right hand and whispered a few words and the energy dust vanishes.
She went down to earth (she and Hiei where in the air all this time). She landed softly on her feet. Botan and Keiko run towards her and started questioning.
"What was that?" asked Botan.
"Dark Arrow and The Dragon of the Dark Flame" Kaliope calmly said.
"That was your weapon, right?" asked Keiko.
"Yeah" Kaliope said.
"Why did you stop it when it almost had Hiei's Dragon?" asked Botan.
"I didn't want my arrow to destroy the Dragon" said Kaliope to the girls. 'Yet…' she continued in her mind.
"What the fuck was that?" asked Yusuke who just came near the girls.
"My power. How I've told you I control Darkness" Kaliope said coldly her eyes turning grey.
"How could your arrow almost catch Hiei's Dragon?" asked Kurama calmly.
"The first has the desire to destroy the second" Kaliope whispered almost to herself but the Koorime heard and he instantly was near her.
"What do you want to say by 'the first'?" Hiei asked Kaliope.
"Nothing" she coldly replied.
"You know what happened back then, don't you?" he said.
"Perhaps" she said.
"What the hell are you two talking about?" Yusuke yelled.
"Nothing" they both said in one voice and than send death glares to each other.
Kaliope stormed out from the training field and went into the temple. Botan, Keiko and Yukina went after her. Hiei remained with Yusuke, Kuwabara and Kurama.
"Hiei, what were you talking about?" Kurama asked.
"Hn" Hiei said and he disappeared into the forest (you all know Hiei…he doesn't like talking).
"He'll never change" said Kurama chuckling. Yusuke and Kuwabara nodded and laughed.
Meanwhile Kaliope was pissed off.
'Why did I stop it? Why did I care what happened with that son of a bitch? Why did I care for that Dragon? WHY?' she yelled in her mind.
She went to her room and kicked the door open. When she was in she slammed the door and lay on the bed.
"What the fuck is wrong with me?" she asked herself and closed her eyes. Sleep came to her and took her away to a place were she could be really happy. With Ryouko, Kana and Cheen.
But...besides them there was someone else...someone that seemed to know Kaliope and Kaliope also seemed to know that other person. Raven hair covered her shoulders and dark blue eyes were starring into pure black eyes. At this point Kaliope's dream became a nightmare. She was running towards her family and the raven haired girl when she slipped over a cliff edge and felt. The sky got black as the girl with chocolate hair was falling deeper and deeper in the precipice. She couldn't see its end so she decided to look to the sky. When Kaliope turned her gaze and fixed it to the black sky she saw something (better said someone...) that she never wanted to see. She saw Hiei. He was laughing evilly at her.
"It's revenge time for you trying to destroy my dragon" said Hiei in her dream. He landed on earth and Kaliope, as she was falling, heard Hiei's katana. She assumed, as tears went down her cheeks, what he had done. And she was right. Hiei had slashed Kana, Cheen, Ryouko and the little one she saw with them.
"No!" Kaliope yells and wakes up. She also yelled in real life and in her dream.
"You son of a bitch!" she said thinking at Hiei. "He murdered ALL my family! That damn jerk!" she yelled as she got off her bed. She was still dressed in her fighting suit. She took some clothes from her wardrobe and went into the bathroom.
Kaliope changed in a pair of dark blue jeans that were really tight but didn't disturb her at all. She took a black T-shirt that had dark blue strikes on it and a red rose in the middle. It was a tiny rose but one could still see it.
"Ready for this day...I hope..." Kaliope said looking in the mirror that was upon the sink. She came out from the bathroom, took the bandanas she always had at her wrists and went out of the room. O yeah...she had her two knives at her boots.
Kaliope walked on the hall and went to Botan's room. Kaliope knocked.
"Come in" she heard Botan's always-happy voice. Kaliope smiled and entered the room. Botan was doing some hard work with her wardrobe. She was wearing her pink kimono (the one she always wears in Rekai).
"Morning...ummm...what are you doing in the wardrobe?" Kaliope said.
"Ohh morning!" Botan said cheerfully as she walked out of her wardrobe. "Just packing some stuff" she continued cheerfully.
"Where are you going?" Kaliope asked.
"To Rekai" Botan answered.
"Why?" Kaliope asked.
"Because I am one of the Grim Reapers" Botan answered smiling.
"Ok" Kaliope said wanting to leave.
"And you? How are you this morning?" Botan asked.
"Fine" Kaliope said shortly.
"Not in a good mood, right?" Botan asked.
"Just a nightmare. That's all" Kaliope said faking a smile. That faked smile was enough for Botan to let Kaliope leave the room.
Kaliope went to the kitchen and found Yukina eating breakfast. Kaliope smiled and Yukina smiled back. Kaliope went to a cupboard and took some milk out. She liked so much cold milk. She put some of it in a glass, took the glass, went and sat besides Yukina.
"Good morning" she said smiling.
"Good morning. Hope you slept well" Yukina said smiling back.
"I didn't quite have the night of my life but it works" Kaliope said smiling.
"What happened?" Yukina asked.
"I had a nightmare"
"What kind of nightmare?"
"Murder"
"Your family?" Yukina asked.
"Where did you know that from?" Kaliope asked.
"I used to have tis kind of dreams some weaks after going to the maiden's village. I used to dream of Hiei killing mom but he couldn't...I know he likes killing but he wouldn't kill someone that didn't do anything to him" Yukina said smiling.
"You know what's weird?"
"What, Kaliope-san?"
"I dreamt of Hiei killing my family" Kaliope said.
"That's weird...But don't worry! Hiei wouldn't do such a thing" Yukina said smiling.
Kaliope smiled back. 'I hope you are right, Yukina-chan' Kaliope said in her mind.
