Author's Notes:
I got my first flame! YAY! I feel all grown up now!
But seriously,
I would just like to ask my flamer, La La La, to get over this little trauma she has with anything that is not Yusuke/Keiko.
Do not get me wrong. Yusuke/Keiko can be a wonderful pairing. However, it has been done to death (and I'm not talking about Yusuke's dieing twice).
I just thought I would do something fun and creative that required me to work hard.
Next time, if you flame again, leave out the drugs, alright? I don't 'do' drugs or alcohol.
Do you want to know why?
It's not because of the commercials on MTV. It is because my grandfather died from it.
He was one of the best people this world has ever seen. Not only was he kind, wise and one hell of a gardener, he was a World War two hero.
He left me all the awards he got for his brave deeds.
I miss him a lot.
He defended the rights of this country.
He defended the freedom of speech.
The freedom of speech is one of America's most wonderful gifts to her citizens.
I am sorry you don't understand that.
I am sorry you feel the need to flame people.
I am sorry your flame brought up painful memories.
I am sorry you are too cowardly to flame with your real account.
I am sorry you are so close-minded.
I am sorry that I cannot do anything, but pity you for what you are La La La.
SECRETS IN MY BLOOD, CHAPTER 5
Life in the steel wing clan was incredibly family and honor oriented. The particular steel wing that Hiei had killed whilst saving Keiko was the single brother of the clan leader. The surviving brother was driven into a vehement, red rage at the news of his brother's death. He had killed the messenger of this news, now he was to kill Hiei. Knowing that to help their leader in his quest would bring great reward; many of the clan had followed him.
One of the larger steel wings, Tajoca, pushed Keiko out of his way and attacked Hiei. The clan leader hung back, waiting for the perfect moment to end his foe's life. Tajoca grabbed the fire demon's left arm and forced him against the tree using his colossal weight. However, the giant steel wing forgot Hiei's right arm. This mistake ended his life as Hiei slashed Tajoca's stomach open using his kanata.
Keiko watched in horror as the many steel wings rushed Hiei. Although Hiei was many times more skilled at the art of killing then the steel wings, he was greatly outnumbered. Together, steel wings were one of the most deadly predators of Makai forests. Many stories were told of their ferocity.
These stories were true, as Hiei soon found out. He was without room to properly swing his sword, without time to ignite the flame that continually burned in him and release it on these fiends. Add all that to the fact the damned beasts could fly and one could easily see the fire demon was at a disadvantage. With almost no time to dodge their attacks, Hiei managed to strike them one at a time with his fists, kill one even, if he was lucky, but so far he had only killed four of the fifteen how had attacked him. This was not even counting the leader, the best fighter of the steel wings, who still hide in the trees.
Keiko's mind raced. She was frightened, she wanted to run, a small part of her also wanted to help, but fear had paralyzed her. She continued watching the bloodshed. After a while, she didn't know how long since she had long ago lost track of time, only five remained. Hiei had been hurt rather severely when Tajoca had smashed him up against a tree, but now he was obviously winning the fight.
The clan leader saw this. The fire demon was not expecting more fighters. He would not be prepared for a fresh demon that had yet to lose blood this night. The leader knew he would win. A devious smirk formed on his face as he dived down from his place in the tree. He knew nothing could stop him from killing his brother's murderer. Nothing.
Keiko saw the steel wing fly from his hiding place towards Hiei. Something in her stirred. Something primal. Something that had forever been hers, been she had never had access to. Until now.
A liquid heat, hotter then the burning bowls of hell now coursed through her veins. Adrenaline pumping, she ran towards Hiei. She had no plan, no idea what she was doing. All she knew was that she was there. All that guided her was instinct.
Her heart raced, her speed quickened. She was flying, she was soaring. Now she knew what she was doing. She was fulfilling her purpose in life. She was becoming what fate had intended her to be.
Now in front of her loomed the dark form of the steel wing. One thought and one thought alone flooded Keiko's mind.
Kill.
With a calm demeanor that might have alarmed her had she been aware, Keiko jumped on the steel wing. The act of unbalancing him caused the steel wing to hit the ground. Keiko jumped off his back as he reached up to slash her. She then raised one hand up to the now black sky. A green energy formed from her hand and consumed her entire body. The brightness of the green brilliance alone was amazing, but the power it radiated was by far the more overwhelming of the two.
After the luminescence had left her body, a new Keiko stood in front of the steel wing. She was two inches shorter now. Her hair reached to the small of her back and black with a purple shine to it. Her eyes were an acidic green. She now had two huge fangs protruding from her mouth and razor sharp claws where there were once normal human nails. Her skin had changed the most however. Her peach blossom skin was now the same shad of purple found on a royal orchid.
Unknowing, uncaring, the steel wing charged at Keiko, temporarily forgetting his main target in his annoyance at having hit the ground. She simply stood there, waiting for him to come to her. Once he was close enough, Keiko leaped to the side and dug her claws into his back. The steel wing screeched and tried to turn around. Keiko did not let him. She opened her mouth and bit down on his exposed neck. She then quickly let go of his flesh and vaulted away.
It was no longer necessary for Keiko to watch her opponent. He could barely move as it was. Stumbling about like a drunken human, he tried to fight Keiko. Instead he fell dead at her feet. Not because of the scratches and bite marks on his surface, he had suffered much worse before; it was because of the poison.
Hiei had managed to defeat the five remaining steel wings awhile ago. He had seen Keiko's fight. He had seen the way the steel wing had been killed. The fire demon could tell because the scars were a sickening green. Hiei knew what Keiko was.
"Cobra demon." He whispered as Keiko fell to the ground.
