Episode 22: Explinations Three. The Dragons
Yukina looked up as her brother entered the small cave they had been living in for the last year. He looked tired, which wasn't surprising considering the fact that he had been gone since sunrise.
It was safter to leave Yukina alone during the day than at night. Because of that, Hiei hunted in the mornings. If there was any dangers, although they were rare because of the smallness of their home, Yukina could pass a scared feeling along the connection to her brother.
"Ah, Hiei! I'm glad you're back," she exclaimed, jumping up to greet him.
Hiei nodded his greeting, moving into the center of the cave. "I found this," he said, unwrapping something from his black cloak.
Yukina's eyes went wide. "That's a dragon's egg!" she exclaimed.
Again, Hiei nodded. "I thought we could cook it for dinner. I didn't find food yesterday and today is already half over," he suggested.
Yukina stared at her brother in horror for a moment. Then, recalling how practical he was, smiled softly and shook her head. "We can't eat it, Hiei," she stated, her tone soft but firm.
He looked at her, frowning slightly. "But we are starving and it's food," he stated, just as she knew he would.
Standing, Yukina moved so she could grasp his arm. "We can't, Hiei. The dragons rarely have the chance to reproduce. We need to return the egg," she pressed.
"What if they decide to kill us? They might think we were the ones to take it," Hiei pointed out.
Yukina watched his face for a long moment. When he saw that she wasn't going to back down, he sighed and relented. "All right, we'll head out now. We should get there before sunset. I dont' want to keep a whole dragon's egg in our possession for long."
"You'll have to hang onto it. We need to keep it warm," she said as they made their way toward the dragon's dormain. It was a mountanous reagion, about five hours walk from their small cave. Although her brother was skeptical, Yukina remained hopeful. Perhaps this good deed would be rewarded with some food, and she and her bother wouldn't be hungry for much longer.
Three of the dragons came to meet them five hours later as they stepped in front of the gates to their city. These three were some of the stronger ones, evident by the fact that they held a humanoid form. Their welcome was one Hiei was expecting. Before they were given the chance to say more than a greeting, the egg was taken away and the two of them were brought before the elder band.
"Punishment for taking our child will be great," one of the elders stated. He, like the others, was in humanoid form and had silken robes covering his body. The only evidence that he was actually a dragon besides the massive amount of power that surrounded him was his enlongated ears and slitted lizard-like eyes.
Hiei snorted, drawing attention to himself. "Do you really think I would bring it back if I'd stolen it?" he commented.
The elders were startled by this comment. Not wanting her brother to get into trouble for speaking disrepsectfully, Yukina spoke up for her twin. "My brother found it this morning! We decided to return it as soon as possible. He would never steal a child," she exclaimed.
After her outburst, the dragon remained quiet. She could see them passing glances from one to another. They were probably speaking telepathically. It was a talent which all powerful dragons possessed. Finally, one of the original three which had brought them in spoke.
"If you are speaking the truth, we want proof. Two of our eggs were taken. Find the other egg and bring it back along with the party who took it. Only one of you is permitted to go. The other must stay here as insurance."
Yukina looked worriedly at her brother, but he gave her a reassuring nod before leaving. She watched him go, tears in her eyes that she refused to let fall. If the egg-snatcher was powerful enough to get away with two dragon children, then it was likely she would never see him again. Her brother was strong, but not that strong.
Finally turning her attention back to the others in the room, Yukina was startled to see that only one remained. A guard, she supposed, to make sure she didn't try to run away. He was also unfriendly, since he didn't respond more than a glance in her direction when she attempted to draw him into conversation.
It seemed like hours, but Yukina had no way of telling how long she waited. Finally, the doors opened and a group of dragons came in. Yukina cried out when she saw her brother, battered and bloody, being carried in. He was unconcious, his head laying against his shoulder. Running to his side, she saw that he was wounded beyond her capability of healing.
Still, desperately trying to keep her tears in check, she began to heal as much as she could.
A hand on her shoulder forced her to look up from her brother and Yukina saw kind eyes watching her. "You aren't strong enough to heal him on your own. We brought him here to show you that he has proven your story. Now we will take him to be healed. You can come with me, and we will get you fed and cleaned up. There will be a great reward for the two egg's return."
Smiling, her tears finally drying, Yukina watched as her brother was carefully taken away. She hoped things would be much easier on herself and, specifically, Hiei.
