Heaven Doesn't Want Me and Hell's Afraid I'd Take Over

Chapter 7

"NANI!" Koenma shouted, face turning red as he stared at Ki astonished. "I can't send my team into hell! What are you thinking!"

Ki glared at him, "I wasn't saying you should send your team in, I mean you should let me go and talk to my father. Maybe after all this time he will give me a hint if I swallow my pride. It's better then running around blind with no idea as to what we're doing." Everyone was staring at her like she was crazy.

"No, absolutely not! I forbid it!" Koenma started to rant as everyone else slowly averted their gazes from Ki and fell into thought.

"It makes sense guys." Kuwabara said making Koenma shut up, "I mean her idea. If we can get some hint as to where one of these three things are it would make the search easier. And what f we get another allay that would also be a huge help." Everyone was staring at Kuwabara as though he had grown an extra head and was walking around naked.

"Am I hearing things or did Kuwabaka say something smart!" Yusuke yelled clapping Kuwabara on the back. "Come on Koenma, one of us could go with her to make sure she doesn't double cross us." Ki shot him a murderous glare at this but said nothing. Koenma held a tortured look, as he was lost in thought.

"Fine, but Yusuke and Kuwabara, you are forbidden from going. So who is willing to volunteer for this expedition?" Koenma glared hard at the group waiting for an answer.

"I'll go."

Ki smirked to her self as Hiei volunteered for the trip. Kurama smiled almost knowingly and Yusuke and Kuwabara were muttering something about Hiei and Ki's relationship to them selves. Koenma gawked at Hiei.

"Why?" he sputtered jaw on the floor.

"I want to." Hiei hissed glaring at the toddler, "If it will get me away from these baka's then I'll take almost any chance I can get."

Koenma sighed defeated, "Fine. You have an hour to prepare." An hour later after good byes and good lucks Ki and Hiei jumped through a portal that would take them to hell.

They fell in silence waiting for the ground to rise up and meet them. And it did as soon as they had relaxed. Their unprepared bodies crashed to the ground heavily getting the attention of a few demons around them.

"Newbies, lets show them how to get along in hell!" one of them shouted advancing on the pair. Hie and Ki got to their feet quickly glaring at the demons. "H-hold on, you sent me here thousands of years ago!" the demon yelled jabbing a finger in Ki's direction. Ki smirked not caring who the demon was.

"Move." She hissed recognizing the smell of fear, now issuing from the demons. They nodded and ran looking as though they would piss themselves.

"Impressive." Hiei muttered jamming his hands in his pockets. The two examined their surrounding closely. Everything seamed to have an eerie red glow. The land was almost a barren wasteland. Blackened trees and bits of grass littered the area, deep crags ran throughout the seen. A Black and yellow flame occasionally erupted from the crags burning anyone foolish enough to get to close or was hoping over them.

"Home sweet home." Ki muttered starting off in a random direction.

"Are you sure we should be going in this direction?" Hiei asked taking a light side step as flames erupted next to him.

"Nope." Ki said lightly. "But the demons ran this way so there should be some form of shelter up ahead. Then we could get an idea of were we are going."

"Hn." They continued in comfortable silence, nothing living close enough to get their attention.

"My Lord! There is news that your eldest daughter is back!" A small demon said, his screechy voice bouncing off the walls. The demon floated around his Lord's head a wicked smile playing across it's lips. "Would you like me to send her an escort."

His Lord was relaxed on his throne. His midnight blue shirt open reviling a broad and very muscular chest. Black pants and boots encased his long legs as they stretched out before him. He ran a hand through his shaggy red hair, tugging at the ends half-wishing he could cut it. Gleaming crimson eyes eyeing the small American demon annoyed.

"No David. She will find her way here if this is were she really wants to be. You forget that she is the Queen of dragons, she will find a way to get here."

"Lord Satan, there is also word that she is working for Koenma, and has brought a partner with her." David hissed into the Lord's ear. David smirked at the fists the clenched at this news.

"Nani!" Satan hissed, eyes turning red, "Koenma thinks he can control those of my blood!?" He slammed his fist down on his chair. "I will have a word with him later about this. I want to get rid of those fallen angels first. Those pests are getting annoying." Satan stood and stalked out of his throne room, fingers tracing the black marble walls as he went.

David flew after him smiling widely at the thought of blood shed.

"It's getting darker." Ki stated watching the midnight blue skies grow steadily black as lighting flashed across it. She pointed to a distant mountain, "Race you there."

"Hn." Was Hiei's reply as they took off. Ki smirked and moved in front of Hiei leading him to the mountain's base. They stopped Ki only a few seconds ahead of Hiei. Quickly they found an uninhabited cave and claimed it as their own. Hiei left the cave again only to return with wood, and easily staring a fire. Ki left as Hiei started the fire, turning into a dragon and taking off to hunt.

'What are you planning on doing when we get to your father's place onna?'

'Ki, Hiei, Ki.' Ki rolled her eyes and swooped low to the ground.

'Hn.'Hiei scowled at being corrected.

'Fine, I'm going to mostly be direct after he's done welcoming and crap. If mothers there then it will be awhile.' Ki sang her claws deep into a unlucky demon and killed him quickly, turning around and heading back to their cave, keeping close watch on the ground.

'Do you see the demon town?'

'Hai.' Ki dropped her spoils at the mouth of the cave and changed back "It's about a three hours walk north of here on the other side of the mountain."

Hiei and Ki carved up the demon and set their portions over the fire waiting for it to cook, "Why don't you tell Yukina you're her brother?"

"It's a long story." Hiei muttered crossing his arms.

"We have all night." Ki said leaning against the cave walls, "Besides you've pretty much heard my life's story."

"Hn."

Ki eyed him thoughtfully, "If you think I'm going to judge you, I won't. So tell me." Hiei stared at her, surprised she hit it on the nail, and started to talk.

In the morning they set out again quickly and ran into more demons, the fights weren't long but they took up needed time and energy. In the town they found out they need to go four days west and then take the road to Satan's castle from there. Hiei and Ki scowled and started out around four, unable to tell time with the constantly dark sky. Three hours into their trip Ki stopped and scowled.

"This is taking to long." Abruptly she changed into a dragon and glared at Hiei, 'Get on my back. It'll be faster if I fly us.'

Hiei raised an eyebrow but wordlessly followed her command. 'Be careful of the spikes.' Ki reminded him playfully as she took off, nearly slamming Hiei forward onto her back.

"Hn." Hiei said watching the spikes carefully. A wrong move could defiantly cause him some problems in the crotch area. He made sure not to complain noting how Ki was swallowing her pride and carrying him.

A dim roar in the distance sounded and Ki tensed. Hiei twisted sideways to get a look at what was behind them. Getting closer by the second was a purple dragon, almost invisible against the sky. When it as almost upon them it roared again, rage obviously plain in the dragon's voice.

'Hold on.' Ki warned as the enemy dragon dived at her back; lethal ivory talons extended. Hiei grunted in reply putting a hand on his katana. Ki rolled as the talons dove for her back. Claws ripped across scales as they dug into the softer scales of Ki's belly. She roared in pain, fire bellowing from her mouth hitting the enemy's belly in return.

Hiei's eyes widened as the overwhelming stench of blood reached him. Ki's blood shed to protect him. The enemy held back for a minute giving Ki time to back flip behind it and fly directly over it. Her own claws ripped into the sides of her attacker, cutting into the leathery wings as well. The draogn below her screamed in pain and lifted it's head in attempt to bite her. Her own head dove for the newly exposed neck and her fangs delved deep into her enemy's neck. Both dragon's had stopped using their wings at this point, completely lost in the battle, falling headfirst for the ground.

"ONNA!" Hiei yelled reminding Ki he was there. She jerked away from her defeated foe and broke her own fall, leveling out a mile from the ground.

'Gomen Hiei.' Ki said descending at a slower pace. They dropped into a dead forest and Ki changed back clutching her stomach. She leaned against a tree breathing heavily.

"Kuso." She cursed under her breath examining the deep wounds. Hiei pulled her hands away to get a look at them him self. She ripped her shirt off from the ribs down, the bloody material useless.

"I didn't ask you to save me onna." Hiei said ripping his scarf into strips to use as bandages. Ki repressed a snort and glared at Hiei for using his water ration to clean her wounds. "You covered at least three days worth of walking, we have water to spare." Hiei stated.

"Stop reading my mind." Ki hissed in pain as Hiei pulled purple scales out of her wounds as gently as he could. He froze in the act of throwing a scale to the side.

"I wasn't." Uncomfortably they both shrugged it off as being able to read each other. When he finished he muttered something about taking first watch and hopped into the tree. Ki unwillingly fell asleep for the whole night.
