Chapter 11
Hiei's POV
Dream
I watched as my opponent swiftly avoided my attack. He then quickly proceeded to get behind me and drew his sword. I tried to dodge his attack, but was too slow. A small scream from his sword digging into my flesh escaped from me. I fell to the ground and my blood formed a pool around me. Clenching my wound I struggled to get up. There was suddenly a shadow cast over me. Looking up I saw my attacker, sword raised high above his head. Without a word he swung down…
End Dream
'Was that a dream?'
My entire body felt slightly twisted with pain. I sat up and tried to move around, but my body felt like it was bonded. When I opened my eyes it felt strained to keep them open. As my vision came back I saw that I was in a white room.
"Where the hell is this?"
"So, you're finally awake."
I turned around and saw the same person from the other day at the park.
"Bastard! You're that human from that day in the park. Where have you taken me!?"
I tried to move my body once again but was still unable to get up. Looking down I saw nothing holding my body in place. So why can't I move?
Normal POV
"You're probably wondering why you can't move. Think back to the park. I did the same thing to you there that I have here. It's a kido, a spell, to hold you in place. If you continue to strain too much it could destroy your spirit. So I suggest you sit back and relax," Urahara said.
Hiei gritted his teeth. He hated being controlled. After doing his best to calm himself down he waited for Urahara to start. When neither one said anything Hiei decided to.
"You obviously have a perpose for me. Why else would I be here. Now tell me what you want," Hiei said as calmly as possible.
"Well I think I should start by telling you that I am well aware that you aren't human. That third eye of yours is a dead giveaway. But I think it wouldn't fair to leave you in the dark, so I'll tell you that I'm not a human either. My name is Urahara and I'm actually a Soul Reaper," Urahara said.
Hiei seemed surprised but said nothing. Instead he waited for Urahara to answer his question. When Urahara saw that Hiei wasn't going to say anything he continued.
"So I guess you're wondering why you're here. Truth is I only saved you because you were there and I don't expect anything from you. But knowing Ichigo he's going to want to go to the Soul Society and save Rukia. I know that he's not going to be able to do it alone. He could use all the help he can get."
"And you expect me to aid him in this mission? Why would I do that?" Hiei asked.
"I don't know. All I know is that he has an incredible amount of spirit energy within him. But even that won't be enough on his own," Urahara said.
He would have continued but was interrupted when he heard Tessai's voice call him.
"Well I would like to continue talking to you but it seems Ichigo finally woke up as well."
As Urahara walked towards the door he canceled the spell that bond Hiei. Hiei's body fell limp and he had to catch himself to stop from falling back. When he stabled himself he looked at Urahara's retreating form.
"I'm sure you noticed. My powers have continued to decrease. Now I'm no stronger then that Ichigo. If I were to go I'd be of no aid."
Stopping where he was but not looking back Urahara said, "Yes, I have noticed a decrease in your energy. But there could be a way that you could recover your powers… but I'm not certain it would work."
Hiei watched him carefully.
"What do you mean?" Hiei asked, keeping a close eye on him.
"Well there's no point in telling you now. If I did you probably wouldn't help Ichigo."
"So to help me recover my powers you want me to help him."
"Exactly, but there's a catch," Urahara said.
"What kind?" Hiei asked carefully.
"First you need to decide if you're going to help or not. Take some time to make up your mind. Just know that I need an answer in a day or two. Once Ichigo is able to begin training that's when I'll need your answer by. Oh and one more thing," Urahara said as he reached into his pocket.
He pulled out Hiei's communicator and threw it to him. Hiei caught it and glared at him.
"I found that on you when we saved you. It seemed damaged so I did what I could to fix it. Whatever it was I did worked, because I was able to talk to someone. It seems your own friends are having some trouble as well."
"What do you mean we? What the hell is going on!?" Hiei asked.
Without answering him Urahara left. Hiei cursed under his breath and looked at the communicator. Just what trouble could the others be having. Instead of sitting around thinking about it he flipped it open and called Koenma.
YYH World
Ogre's were still going back and forth cleaning up the mess left behind from the battle the Reikai Tentai had in Koenma's office with the assassin. Things had calmed down but were still a little hectic. Koenma was talking to Yusuke and the others when they heard a beeping.
"Where's that noise coming from?! Is it a bomb?!" Kuwabara exclaimed.
"No you idiot. It's Hiei. He must finally be awake," Koenma said.
Koenma pressed a button and the monitor in the ceiling came down. First there was nothing but fuzz appearing on the screen and static sounds. Finally Hiei's face appeared on the screen, but it would still fizz and become hard to see.
"Yo Hiei. It's good to see that you're still alive," Yusuke said.
The others expressed their relief, but Hiei didn't seem to pay any of them attention. Looking at the carnage of the room he asked what happened. Koenma explained what had happened and the situation they were in now.
"Now for you. You seemed to have screwed up big time Hiei. What exactly happened?"
Hiei glared at Koenma for that comment, but knew it was true. He did mess up and a new wave of anger hit him at the thought of his defeat.
"Hn. Something unexpected happened. But that boy is still alive. What are you doing about your problem over there?"
"That won't do. I need to know everything that happened."
Showing his annoyance he told them what happened. Once he was finished Koenma shook his head and sighed.
"Well things couldn't have been worse. But I guess if we had to look at anything good it'd be that you're still alive," Koenma said.
"Yes, but now that we know that Hiei is alright what do we do? Where did those other strangers go?" Kurama asked.
Koenma shook his head. He had no clue where they went or who there leader was. But judging by how powerful their previous enemy was then their leader must be incredibly powerful. At their current strength none of them stood a chance, not even if they worked together.
"Ok. It's not much but I want you to return Hiei. Your mission over there is done for now. We have much more important matters over here that needs to be taken care of. As soon as you get back you're all going to go under intense training. Going by how strong Ichiban was we can't take any chances."
Everyone but Hiei seemed to agree to Koenma's orders. It confused him. He couldn't wait to get out of here and go back home… but something didn't feel right. Kurama noticed that something was bothering Hiei. Dispite how good Hiei was at hiding things Kurama knew him well enough that he could tell. Before for Koenma took Hiei's silence as an agreement Kurama spoke up.
"What's wrong Hiei? You don't seem to agree with this plan."
Everyone took a moment to glance at Kurama then looked back to Hiei. Now it seemed like he had his eyes closed in thought. They were, needless to say, surprised. Hiei seemed to be thinking about the plan that Koenma laid out for them. For once he didn't feel like leaving just left.
"What's up Hiei? You actually want to stay there or something?" Yusuke asked.
"Unacceptable. I'm going to begin work on reopening the portal now. I order you to return!" Koenma shouted.
"Hn. Too bad. I have something that I need to take care of. I'll return when I'm done," Hiei said.
With that Hiei cut off the connection. Koenma cursed loudly as he tried to get hold of Hiei again, but he never reached him.
"So what are we going to do?" Kuwabara asked.
"We're going to bring Hiei back, weither he likes it or not," Koenma said.
Bleach World
Still Normal POV
A day had passed since Hiei had woken up. His wounds were completely healed thanks to his demon blood. But it surprised him to find out that Ichigo had mostly recovered from his wounds and would be ready to train later this day. Hiei had made his decision when he talked to Koenma and the others, but still had not told Urahara. He decided to go to Urahara when Ichigo was still in school.
Later that day
Hiei arrived at Urahara's shop. When he walked in he saw Urahara sitting there like he was waiting. Hiei walked up to him without saying a word.
"So I guess you being here can mean only one thing?" Urahara asked with a smile on his face.
"Just tell me what I need to do to recover my powers before I change my mind."
"First I need to ask you something. Are you prepared for the possible consequences?"
"I'm not afraid if that's what you're asking. Now tell me how to recover my powers," Hiei said.
"Alright, but I feel like I should warn you. If what I'm about to have you do fails you will die. Do you still want to do this?"
"I don't fear death. If that's the worst that could happen then let's get started," Hiei said.
"Right, well follow me," Urahara said as he stood up.
End Chapter 11
I know it's not much but at least it's an update. Next chapter should be better then this.
