Three Eyed Fairy
Chapter 7
Got to Love the Jagan
"There are two things on everyone's minds, first is what are the rules for hidden. The second is who is the favorite in the competition," Chapatti asked his fellow announcers.
"It is safe to assume that Rufus from Sabretooth is the obvious favorite, but Gray from Fairy Tail is a wildcard," Yajima told him.
"Eve is obviously who I am rooting for," Jenny added her two cents in.
On the field we find everyone, and Mato has just constructed the field they will be using as their game space, a town. Not just that, but everyone was instantly separated as well, "a nice little trick is all they have," Hiei said to himself. He instantly went into the shadows to avoid detection straight out, and suppressed his energy.
"Those of you in the audience can enjoy watching on crystal clear lacrima vision. The eight, well seven since they can't pick up on Hiei, won't have such luxury," Chapatti stated out. "Here are the rules for hidden, all the players are hiding and seeking at the same time. You must locate the others, once that is done you must land an attack on them. The player that successfully hits their target, regardless of damage, receives one point." Suddenly copies of all the participants appeared everywhere on the field, "Those copies mean that if you attack one of your fake competitors by mistake and you will lose one point. Time to disappear like Hiei at the start of the games, let's start hidden," Chapatti announced to all.
'Waiting around will do nothing if it means that everyone else will score points first,' Hiei thought to himself as he remained out of sight. He activated his Jagan and saw the real ones, and thought that it was too easy. He was instantly able to tell what was going on with Gray, the idiot failed to take note of his surroundings. Now was the time to attack though, so he did, and instantly appeared right behind the real Nalpudding and chopped the back of his neck for a point.
"And with that surprise attack, Fairy Tail team B receives one point," Chapatti announced.
Nalpudding was about to attack Gray again from behind after some time had passed, but was stopped by a, "Fist of the Mortal Flame," to the face. "You should be more careful, fool, that was the only save that you shall get from me," Hiei said as he disappeared again. While Hiei speed off and hid, Gray walked on and got in between the fight between Yeager and Beth with Yeager winning one point. Then he got the point retracted when Lyon attacked him from behind, and then they both got knocked down by Nalpudding again.
Then the demon felt something disturbing, snow magic, and he knew that Eve must be acting now. He scored three points in a single act and momentarily gained the upper hand in the game. This is where Lyon came from the back and strike him down with ice eagles. Most were scoring points left and right, and Hiei going in and out at the last second and stole a few before the others could.
'The only one left that hasn't made a move yet is the annoying fool with the long hair and mask,' he thought to himself just as the announcer announced said fool. 'Right on cue,' just as the sky became as though it were night, and Hiei must say, "not impressive." His body was glowing due to the spell, but he figured what was coming, an all striking attack to get a large number of points at once.
"Night of Shooting Stars," Rufus said as he launched the attack, and for all but Hiei, that was their loss, and the Sabre's gain.
"That was interesting, but not impressive," he said from on the corresponding roof.
"How did you manage to avoid that attack," he asked in bewilderment.
"Trade secret, one that you won't be hearing anytime soon," Hiei said as he readied for an attack. He launched, but not at Rufus, at Nalpudding who also avoided his attack.
"You left yourself wide open," Rufus said as he shot at him, only for nothing him to spin his body out of the way by using the Raven Tail man as a stepping stone.
Hiei said nothing as he slammed his fist into the real man's face like it was nothing. "You need to work on your technique, fool," he stated as he stood where Rufus once stood before he speed away.
Gray took this as a good time to get a hit in on said man, but got attacked by Nalpudding again. Hiei speed on through and chopped everyone on the head just for a few extra points before the bell sounded. "The game is over and here is the score list as of right now," Chapatti said as the scores were shown on screen.
Fairy Tail B-12
Raven Tail-8
Lamia Scale-6
Sabretooth-5
Blue Pegasus-4
Quattro Cerberus-2
Mermaid Heel-2
Fairy Tail A-0
"What a surprising turn of events, Hiei from Fairy Tail team B has not only claimed the top spot, but did it after taking a point from Rufus," Chapatti said.
"I never expected for Sabretooth to come out in fourth place of all things," Yajima said with a smile.
"However Fairy Tail team A has zero points going into the battle rounds," the head announcer reminded everyone.
Everyone else was only laughing at Gray for losing, and saying things like, "even a bad guild can produce one good apple." And, "why did they even come here," and many more pathetic things they have no idea on.
"What useless fools they are," Hiei said as he made his way back to the other team B members.
"Good job out there, but why didn't you help Gray out more," Mira asked with a tilt of her head.
"While I was over waiting for them to finally get this thing started, they went on about it was unfair how we were in the same guild. So I thought I would show them that same guild or not, we are on different teams," he said back.
"Good thinking, that will get some people of our backs," Laxus said irately from all of the chatter like that.
"Now is time for the battle portions everyone, now for the first match, it is Lucy Heartfilia from Fairy Tail A vs Flare Corona from Raven Tail," Chapatti announced for everyone to hear.
"This should be interesting to watch how the girl does in an actual battle," Hiei stated as he watched. The match did show that she could think on her feet for a while, until she stopped fighting and he wondered why. Until he saw his uncle running for the Fairy Tail booth and figured out that it was a hostage situation. That made him scowl at Raven Tail for such a cheap trick to use, but then he caught sight of a creature. He recognized it as a creature designed to drain magical energy, a creature designed by his father, Zeref. 'Creature of there with the grin,' Hiei mentally called for the creature who looked around for who was speaking.
'I know you and your fake master probably think you can drain Lucy's magic at the last second, but if you even try anything, I will kill you," he threatened the creature. The creature now didn't do a single thing when he was supposed to, it knew better than to mess with someone who knew how to contact an Etherious.
"There you have it folks, the winner is Lucy Heartfilia of Fairy Tail team A," Chapatti announced.
'When the games are over with, I want you to lead me to my father, Zeref," Hiei told the creature again. That made the creature look around again to spot Hiei staring at him, and mouthed, 'that is me.'
For some reason the creature just smiled even bigger and knew that he now found his master's son. As soon as he gets to the guild lodgings, he would leave for his true master's son and serve him.
The next few matches were boring to Hiei, they provided no actual power to him. They only showed the competitions skills prior to their defeat, and that was the more important thing.
Up in the crowd we see Yusuke, Botan, and Kurama all talking about the previously viewed match between Lucy and Flare. "That was pathetic, using a trick like you had to go through Kurama," Yusuke said as he got mad.
"I know how you feel, but she managed to pull it off," Kurama said as the next match was announced.
"If Kuwabara was here, he would yell at the man for beating up a girl," Botan said with a fond smile.
"Yeah, but we couldn't tell anybody else, if we did and it didn't work, we would have gotten their hopes up for nothing," Yusuke said with a frown.
"The next match looks like it will be quick as well," the fox pointed out as the next match was between Orga and War cry.
It was over in a flash, "that was quick, but why is he singing," Botan questioned.
"The final match of the first day is going to be, Fairy Tail team B Hiei Vermilion vs Lamia Scale's Jura Neekis," Chapatti announced as everyone cheered.
"Jura, do your best," Botan cried out before Yusuke but a hand over her mouth.
"We shouldn't let Hiei know we are here until after today so he can focus," he said. She nodded and was released from his grasp, and made him just realize something.
"Should we get to a safe distance," Yusuke asked nervously.
"The arena is quite large, but just to be sure we should probably raise our defenses up a little bit," Kurama suggested to the two.
On the ground Hiei was walking out to the field with an impassive look on his face. The crowd were actually booing him though, but he didn't care about what some fools in the stands thought of him. He looked back to where his opponents team was and noticed a girl his age staring at him with a blush on her cheeks. 'That is going to be trouble,' he mentally told himself as he arrived at the center of the field.
"Hiei is the son of Fairy Tail's first master, Mavis Vermilion, I wonder if he hopes to make her proud of him," Chapatti asked out loud.
"More than likely if she were here, she would be swelling up with pride," Yajima said sending a knowing look to Makarov, who shared it.
"Well I think it is just so cute that a little boy thinks he can fight with Jura of all people," Jenny said as though she forgot what he did in the game hidden.
On the field the two stared the other down until Jura spoke, "personally I would love to see Fairy Tail do well here. However the old hag doesn't want me to let you win so I won't be pulling punches, even on a child."
"You should hold off on such judgments until after the match, I for one am wondering if high-A-class power is sufficient, or low-S-class," Hiei said with a smirk.
"I assure you, only an S-Class wizard can hope to fight me," he told the demon.
"What makes you think I was referring to the wizarding system," Hiei said before the bell sounded for them to start.
Hiei took off with a speed that left Jura with a no other choice but to go on the defensive and summon a stone wall to protect himself with. The demon stopped the attack on the wall and went around it and shoulder slammed into the iron rock. Jura only stumbled over before correcting himself and sending the brick wall to pieces before sending them all after Hiei who could only dodge from the massive amount of bricks constantly coming for him. 'His control over the bricks is good, but I have my own tricks,' he thought before going on the offensive.
Hiei made his black flames surround his body and vaporize the stones before they could reach him. "It would seem that you are worthy of a low-S-class power after all," he said as he brought his energy to that level.
"What is this system that you are using," Jura asked as he got in a stance to fight with a smile.
"One that you need not concern yourself with," he muttered before disappearing before the spectators sights and reappearing behind Jura. He made tiny particles in his hands and blew them to his opponent calling out, "Shards of Winter." The particles in his hand turned into shards of ice and flew straight at Jura, who could only bring up a small rock barrier in time.
"When did Hiei gain such an ability as to use Toya's ice attacks," Kurama asked shocked from up in the stands.
"Part of his soul is from the ice village, so he must have learned how to use it here," Botan suggested seriously.
On the field we see Jura get knocked down from the force of the impact and on his back before getting back up. He formed dozens of rock pillars and made them target Hiei directly, but the little demon was too quick and instantly was able to avoid them with enough ease.
"This is nuts, I didn't think that anyone could match iron rock Jura," Jenny said in shock.
"This is quite the spectacle, but the fight is far from over by the looks of the fighters," Yajima said as he pointed at them.
"Are you done holding back," Hiei said as he readied to actually use his magic.
"Are you done testing me," Jura asked as he readied his own magic.
To answer the question, the demon undid his bindings on his right hand to reveal a dragon tattoo. The tattoo began to emit an energy that only a few in the crowd had ever seen before. "You might want to use your most powerful defense for this one," Hiei said before his entire form was engulfed in black flames. "Dragon of the Darkness Flame," he yelled out as the dragon came forth and speed towards Jura who used his most powerful rock mountain defense.
"Amazing, Hiei has unleashed a devastating black flame attack and Jura could do nothing but take it at full force. This battle is shaping up to be quite the fight," Chapatti said looking at the destruction caused.
When the smoke cleared and everyone saw into the field, everyone was shocked to find Jura standing there and actually panting. His front face was darkened from the instant tan, but other than that he was just breathing heavily.
"You are strong, Jura, not many have survived against the dragon, but this battle is over," Hiei stated bluntly.
"I wouldn't say that young man, I can still keep going," he said as he stood upright while smiling.
"You are strong but that is not why the match is over," he said as the bell sounded for the end of the match.
"That is it folks, looks like both team receive five points as we head into the second day," Chapatti said as the scoreboard was again revealed.
Fairy Tail B-17
Sabretooth-15
Blue Pegasus-14
Lamia Scale-11
Fairy Tail-10
Raven Tail-8
Quattro Cerberus-2
Mermaid Heel-2
"What a surprising turn of events, the dead last each year has turned out full force and has completely dominated the competition on the first day," Chapatti exclaimed.
"I would expect no less from that bunch," Yajima said with a look of fondness in his covered eyes.
"Now is the time we should make our presents known to Hiei," Kurama said as he and Yusuke stood up.
"Aren't you coming Botan," he asked when he noticed she wasn't following.
"You go on ahead, I need to check something out first," she said as she left in a run.
"You know where she is going right," Kurama said more than asked.
"Yeah, Jura hopefully still remembers her," Yusuke said as he saw Hiei leaving to go towards the medic room.
They followed him and kept out of sight as he made his way to the room Wendy was in. They decided to stay outside and give him some privacy with whoever was in there.
Inside the room, "Wendy, how are you doing," Hiei asked as he sat by her bed.
"Good, how did everyone else fair," she asked with a fake smile.
"You don't need to force a fake smile on your face with me, but Lucy won her match against Flare of Raven Tail. I tied in my match against Jura, he may actually be as strong as Guildarts if they ever go head to head," he told her while smirking.
"I just feel bad that I couldn't be there to watch," Wendy said now with a frown.
"Don't feel too bad, with or without you there, the outcome would have been the same. Tell you what though, after you get up out of bed, why don't I help you work on your offensive capabilities," Hiei offered.
She smiled brightly at that and her eyes lit up, "do you mean it," she asked him with hope.
"I did say that I would didn't I, but don't think I will go easy on you, but also don't think it will be a punishment," he said as he got up and head for the door.
"Thank you Hiei, you are a good person," Wendy said just in time for him to hear and make him smile.
Hiei walked out just in time to see his mother stare at him, and the stare was a bit unnerving to say the least. "What did you two discuss," she asked as she smiled and stared unnervingly at him.
"First off, please don't give me that look, it is just plain creepy, and second, we discussed the fact that Lucy won and I tied," he said as he walked down the hall.
"Well, I just saw an interesting thing out on the field," Mavis said with a smile.
"What did you see," Hiei asked but not with any actual interest.
"I saw a teal hair colored woman and Jura reunite with one another," she said a bit more seriously so that he would actually pay attention.
"They found a way to come here, probably that annoying fox and the detective came as well," he said as he closed his eyes and felt for their energies. He found them as they were following him, "you fools can come out now that I know you are there."
Kurama and Yusuke stepped out of the shadows of the hallway to greet their old friend. "How is it going buddy," Yusuke said with a smile as he tried and failed to not look nervous.
"I was doing fine until you fools decided to show up here," Hiei said with an emotionless tone.
"That isn't very nice Hiei, and you shouldn't talk like that to your friends," his mother chimed in from where she was next to him.
"Fine, I have been well, but I ask why you are here," he said as he tried to be polite.
"Quick question, are you seeing a little girl at all, and yes I know it sounds strange, but the Botan said she saw one near the other members of the guild," Yusuke asked bluntly.
"That is my mother's ghost that usually only members that have our emblem can see, but it figures that the grim reaper would see her," Hiei said bluntly.
"Why would you keep this place from us," Kurama asked quite bluntly himself.
"I had my reasons, but now I am sure you want to meet the rest of the guild that you haven't met yet," he said as he turned around and led them to the guild's lodgings where everyone was getting wasted in celebration. "This is the rest of the Tenrou team that went missing for seven years," he said when they arrived at the inn. "My team consists of Laxus, Mira, Gajeel, and Juvia, team this is Yusuke Urameshi and Yoko Kurama."
"Hello, I have always wondered, is Hiei really the same as he is in your world, strong and hopeful," Mira asked with her famous smile.
"No, he is more of a grumpy and gloomy smart-ass that thinks he is better than everyone else. To be honest, he was actually quite the downer all the time and antisocial," Yusuke said out loud as everyone stopped and turned their way.
"What did you say about him," she asked with a very creepy smile that promised pain if answered the wrong way.
"I said he is a great person and always thinks the best of everyone," he nervously replied while backing away.
"Relax you fool, she is just messing with you, I act the same here as I do everywhere. Although I do smile here more," Hiei said from behind him.
When Yusuke looked again, he saw that she was laughing at him, and so was everyone else. "You people are too much for me," he muttered to himself as he walked over to a random table and sat down.
"You will be staying here until I have time to send you back to your world," he said as he came and sat across from him and Kurama.
"We can get back on our own," Yusuke said as he had a smug look on his face.
"First off, don't ever use that method of travel again, you don't have magic so you had to basically punch your way to this world with your energy. The only way to safely go through is to use magic and gain access, not punch your way through," Hiei said as he took a sip of orange juice.
"Why didn't you explain that to us beforehand," Kurama asked with his eyebrow raised.
"Figured by destroying the magic circle that you used to get here, you wouldn't be able to come here anymore," he replied with a shrug of his shoulders.
"You seem more relaxed than you do with us," Yusuke noted.
"I am relaxed here, while in demon world it is true that I like it there because it is simple kill or be killed. Here I am able to relax and be myself that I actually like with people that I like," Hiei commented.
"Brother, I was wandering wear you went off to," Yukina said as she same up to them with a piece of chocolate cake for her and a piece for her brother.
"You know, I have been wondering why you decided to keep the fact that you knew who Hiei was from the start a secret," Kurama asked.
"I just enjoyed seeing how you guys stumbled around trying to keep the secret from me. A lot of times I wanted to actually laugh at your foolish selves, and that was actually the only reason," she said with a smile while eating cake.
Both of the foreigners looked at each other and then back at the twins eating cake and had the same thought, 'you demons are evil.' "Hiei's friends, one of you want to drink with me," they turned to see Cana sitting there already hammered.
"I politely decline," Kurama said with Yusuke nodding in agreement.
"Whatever, what about you Hiei, finally want to prove who can win," she said to said demon.
"Don't even think about it Cana, I don't want my son to even go near that stuff while I am here," Mavis said as she appeared glaring at the drunk.
"Fine, but I need someone to drink with me," Cana whined before she spotted the thunder legion and ran off to drink with them.
"That girl will be the death of us all," Hiei commented dryly. "You two can stay with the rest of Fairy Tail if you wish, why is Botan with Jura anyway?"
"Those two hit it off while you guys were gone and they came to help search, guess they hit it way off," Macao said with a grin.
"Hey Hiei, I think I should participate if Salamanders going to as well," Gajeel said to the strongest on the team.
"Fine, but if you come out as dead last for some reason I will give you nightmares like I did seven years ago," Hiei said with a smirk.
"That was you, you damn little demon brat, i am going to kill you after the games," he yelled in anger.
"Oh, did I mention that the winning team gets to do whatever they want to the losing team," Makarov drunkenly informed.
"How does that help me," Gajeel yelled as he stormed off.
"I know what Hiei wants to do with Wendy," a few of the members laughed at Cana's statement. Hiei glared at them all, but in their drunken state, it would be ineffective.
"I am going to rest for tomorrow, goodnight," he said as he left with a hint of a blush on his face. Yusuke and Kurama just looked bewildered at the fact that Hiei, the Hiei, acted like any other guy with family.
While in his room, Hiei felt the presence of another and looked to see the creature from today on his bed. "What are you doing here," he asked it while walking up and standing in front of it.
The creature took out a pencil and paper and wrote on it, "I am here to help you by telling you that Zeref sent me here to keep an eye on the Eclipse gate that is going to be used this year."
"I thought as much, are you going to be my little spy then," he asked and got a nod from the creature. "Good, find a man known as Jellal and give him the information on the gate, and tell him to come to the games so that he will know when he is needed. After go back and stay with Raven tail until you are needed by me for another assignment, report back each night about what they are going to do." With that the creature left to go complete his assignments while Hiei rested for tomorrow.
