Tomorrow Will Be Better. Chapter 14: Damn Imp
Koenma's portal did not bring them to exactly the right location, but it was pretty close. About a mile away from where they needed to be. Yusuke began walking in the direction that they needed to go in, and Hiei flew past him, running so fast the the others could barely see him.
"HEY! Hiei! We can't run that fast!" Yusuke yelled after his short companion. If Hiei heard him, he paid no attention. He was completely focused on the task at hand.
"Hey, what's up with him?" Kuwabara asked Kurama. "I mean, I'm rearin' to go and get Sabrina back, and I know you guys are too, but since when does he care about her?"
"You did not hear this from me. You did not hear this at all, from anyone. But, Hiei is in love with Sabrina, and I think he-"
"OMG, NO WAY! THAT SHORTY HAS A HEART! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN!" This, along with other similar phrases and teases were shouted by Yusuke and Kuwabara before Kurama could even finish his explanation. Kurama sighed and started running after Hiei. Of course, the fire apparition would be there long before he could catch up.
-(line dance!)-
Hiei did not wait for the others to catch up. He did not stop to check for traps or guards. He didn't even stop to see if he was at the right place. He simply kicked open the large front door and ran in, choosing a random room to enter inside the building. Wrong room. Run to another room. Wrong. Another...
Bingo, he thought, quickly followed by the though, I hate Boton. But, his hatred meant nothing right now, except for the hatred he felt for Yokoshima.
Hiei entered the large, open room. The lighting was dim, but he could tell that the room was empty, save for the one giant bird cage towards the opposite wall. It was too dim to see her, but Hiei knew that Sabrina was still in there. He slowly walked towards her, until she came into view. She was passed out on the floor. He started to run... but tripped. Why am I tripping so much today? He looked over to where his feet had just been and saw a small green imp jumping for joy.
"Knocked little big man down, yes! Served master well I did, yes!"
I have no time for this! Hiei reached out to grab the imp, but it grabbed him with both hands and flipped him over. Hiei hit his head on the floor. Ok, this thing wanted a battle? Fine! Hiei made serious attempts to fight, but the thing was too fast and strong. A creature less than twelve inches tall was kicking his butt!
While trying to fight the imp, Hiei saw someone taking Sabrina from her cage. Yokoshima! He turned to face the giant, but was stopped by the imp. Yokoshima carried Sabrina away.
