I didn't want to keep you waiting, so here's ch. 8!


Of Eyes And Fangs

Chapter eight


"I don't get why we have to go looking for the little brat. We're members of the S.D.F for crying out loud! This kind of thing should be left to the stupid ogres in Reikai…" A grumbling voice sounded a few yards away from Hiei's location.

There was a huff from the second male "The "little brat" you're whining about just happens to be an important asset to the plans Enma-Daiō has been formulating for the past five centuries."

"So I suggest you keep your mouth shut unless you want to be stripped of your position." The man continued after a moment.

Hiei stared disdainfully as the two males passed beneath the tree he was perched on. This is the force that keeps the Makai in line? Pathetic.

Their inability to sense him was actually upsetting.

His sharp hearing caught the rest of the duo's fading conversation. "Whatever, the girl's probably dead already. There's no way she could survive out here for long."

The fire apparition nearly smiled as he silently left the clearing; they would think so, wouldn't they?

It looked like life had given him an advantage over that damn Enma, and he fully intended to use it.
