Chapter 10
Hiei inconspicuously limped out of the wash room with a bowed head, subconsciously trying to scan whom the new presence in the room was.ZAP!
A bolt of electricity ran threw Hiei reminding him he was still warded. The painful reminder made the fire apparition crumble to his knees clutching his head and squeezing his eyes shut in a weak attempt to block the agony. All images were gone but the voices were still there. A gentle but nervous feminine voice filled Hiei's ears.
"Eldest the Imiko has been seen being fed by one from our side; during the night for several nights now."
"WHAT! BY WHO?"
Came the oh-to-familiar voice of the outraged Eldest Elder.
"Well… it wa… was Xavia and Rui."
"IMPOSSIBLE! Prepare an assembly this instant and make sure Xavia and Rui are there!"
"Yes, Elder." Was the quick reply and the sound of retreating foot steps and a door closing was followed.
Laboriously Hiei opened his garnet eyes and looked up into the raging grey eyes of his wrinkled captor.
"So they fed you like a PET! In my house without my permission! Well you shall pay dearly for that!"
The elder threw down some black, baggy pants. Hiei slipped on the soft material, unsteadily stood up as straight as possible, and gave the Elder his most frightening glare.
The Elder returned the glare and clipped on Hiei's leash and they both marched out of the room and down a plain beige hallway to the conference room.
Tying Hiei to the back leg of her thrown like red fluffy chair and putting a seal on the knot for extra precaution; she sat down.
Hiei plopped down beside her on the floor and rested for the punishment that would befall him.
That look in her eyes was the most furious I've seen so far. Hn. This punishment will be no doubt the worst punishment she can give me without killing me. And it will more than likely be as painfully as the Jagan operation. If she knows Xavia and Rui helped me they will be punished as well. GRR! Why do people always get punished for helping me? Well not this time not if I can help it!
As women started to fill into the auditorium Hiei studied the room. The seats were in rows that ascended up looking like the Roman Coliseum in Human World that Kurama had studied once in his school. Except this one was smaller and looked more comfortable. At the very front were the other elders who sat patiently. The captive fire demon glared at them and wished they would burn in the fiery pits of hell for all eternity for the painful and humiliating punishments they put him through.
Xavia and her mother, Rui, entered Hiei softened his death glare to an unemotional mask and repeated his promise over and over in his head.
I promise they won't get hurt. I promise they won't get hurt. I promise they won't get hurt.
" Thank you all for coming. But this is not a pleasant announcement I have, in fact I believe this is the most gave announcement I have made in decade's (1). A few of you have helped the Imiko even though I have forbade it." A loud mummer swept through the crowd as soon as the claim was made. Many 'Who would do such a thing' and 'why would they help the beast' were heard among the crowd of shocked ice maidens but were quickly silenced by their wrinkled leader.
"Rui and Xavia please come to the front." A huge gasp echoed through the room.
Rui gracefully stood up and calmly walked to the front of the crowd to where her mother sat. Xavia followed with the same grace but not nearly as calmly as her mother.
The Eldest Elder continued in a hurt and disappointed voice.
"Rui and Xavia you are convicted of assisting the Imiko against the wishes of the village. Your punishment shall be…"
WHOOSH! ZAP! Hiei had tried to lung at the Eldest Elder. Ripping her to shreds was the only thought running through his mind. Blood trickled down his forehead from behind the warded Jagan. The enraged demon ignored his own suffering to try and taste the blood of the Elder.
She stepped away from the snarling male, flustered. She had felt the gust of wind that had ruffled her grey-blue kimono as the claws barely missed her soft flesh. Regaining her composure the Eldest glared at the snarling Hiei and intensified the power of the wards.
"I didn't want to waste such a advanced punishment on the likes of you. But you have just sealed your fate! Guards take the beast to the Sacrificial Dungeon."
A hush fell over the crowd of ice maidens. Even Hiei felt worry grow in him and eventually bloom into terror.
The Sacrificial Dungeon was rumored to be worse than the Underworld's Maximum Security Penitentiary. That meant a lot!
Taking a deep breath to calm his racing heart Hiei was about to try and lung at the Eldest once again when four large ice walls surrounded him and one closed off the top and another to the bottom. He was boxed in on all sides! He felt the ice box float upward and forward. Hiei's breathing calmed but he then realized he would soon run out of air in this small, confined box that seemed to be getting smaller, smaller, smaller. A new sense of panic gripped the cornered fire apparition.
In Spirit world an army of one hundred orges stood armed with clubs, spears, and swords and fierce determination. All of the creatures look up at their leader waiting for their orders and the usual rally and then the fun part. The actual battle. Lord Koenma would rarely have battles but this was way better than paper work.
" Orges to day our enemy is our very own ally the ex-spirte detectives Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara. They have turned against us. So now they face the consequences. We will rip them to shreds. We will crush them. This will be the last time they turn on us!" yelled a very confident Koenma. After the yelling of the hundred had shaken the ground they set off at a brisk, orderly march. This was a force not to be reckoned with.
Back in Human World Kurama, Yusuke, Botan and a somewhat reluctant Kuwabara walked up the many steps of an ancient building hoping to find the help they sorely need.
