Cacti-chan: This chapter stinks. Be forewarned. I've been at a total blank
so I'll probably change it soon, but I'm doing it anyway because people
have asked me to update. By the way, Foss pointed out a mistake I made.
Hiei uses youki in the Prologue, I put reikai.sorry about this and thank
you Foss ^.^ Okay, onto the story, which mostly involves Hiei talking to
himself-
A Dragon's Dilemma
Chapter 2
Hiei yawned and woke up, brushing a lose strand of his long black hair out of his face.what? He paused, and looked around, startled. Slowly, he swallowed and looked at his hand. It was smooth and delicate, with the nails painted red.
"What. The. Heck." This DEFINITELY was NOT a tree. It was a bedroom. Everything was like being in a soft cloud of blue- curtains, dresser, walls, everything was a pale shade of blue. Hiei stumbled out of bed and caught sight of his reflection on the dresser mirror.
He nearly fainted. Luckily, he didn't. He stared at his reflection. Or rather, at HER reflection. For one thing, he- she, was definitely taller. Her hair was still black and bit spiky, but down to her shoulders. That was about where the similarities stopped. The reflection stared back at her with eyes that were NOT crimson.but a delicate brown. Hiei thought she'd be sick.
Her mind spun dizzily, as if there were two people inside, one of which had just woken up from a nap and was grumpy. He ignored it and very. . . very slowly looked down. . . This was NOT happening.
~Oh come on, its not so bad.~ A voice in his head said.
~WHAT are you TALKING about?!~ The enraged part of Hiei's mostly-numb mind replied. ~I'm FEMALE~
~Well I wouldn't much like to be male~ It replied. Hiei was aghast. . . how could HE be thinking that?
~She.~
~What?~
~You said, thought how could HE be thinking that, and I'm a she. We? I suppose I meant WE are a she~
~We.~
~Yes. We.~
"That's it. I've been hanging around that baka Kuwabara too long.his stupidity and insanity is catching." Hiei muttered out loud.
~Don't be ridiculous, I'm perfectly sane, even if you're not. My name is Hehai Yumiara, I'd like to know who you are if you don't mind.~ The voice in his head replied.
Hiei's hand dropped to her side in shock. There was someone ELSE in HI-. . .HER mind!
~Who are YOU?~ She asked angrily.
~I just told you, and honestly, you COULD be a bit more polite, this is MY body you're in~
"Not by choice." Hiei grumbled out loud.
~Well, I don't particularly mind. You see, this is the first time I've been able to think properly for awhile. It's a bit irritating to be mostly dead.~
~Mostly.~
~Yes, don't ask.~
Hiei sat down on the irritatingly frilly bed and groaned. This was NOT going to be fun.
MEANWHILE. . .
"What do you mean . . . nasty side effects?" Yusuke asked Koenma. The prince looked up.
"For one, Hiei's spirit is inside a female's body. . . and with only some of her spirit still remaining, it is quite possible the two will fuse, making Hiei unable to return to her normal body."
The second part was completely lost, because at the mention of 'female' Yusuke and Kuwabara began laughing so loudly it was impossible to hear.
"HAHAHAHAHA HIEI'S A GIRL!!!" Yusuke roared, falling to his knees in mirth.
"And just WHAT is so wrong with being female, Yusuke?" An irritated voice interrupted the laughter. Yusuke froze. . . ~Not Keiko, Not Keiko, NOT KEIKO.~ He thought. Too bad. He turned. "BUSTED!" Kuwabara laughed harder, if that were possible. Even Kurama was hard pressed to contain his amusement.
"Ke.Keiko.! Uh.what are you doing in Spirit world?" Yusuke tried to say, and was promptly dragged off by an irritated girlfriend.
Later, when Yusuke was back (with a red mark on his right cheek that, oddly enough, was the exact size of Keiko's hand) and Kuwabara had recovered from passing out due to lack of air, Koenma got back to the point.
"It is very important that we find him. . .her before the time it will take for their spirits to fuse."
"How long is that?" The always-sensible Kurama asked. Koenma looked at him.
"I have no idea." He replied. Everyone in the room facefaulted. When they recovered, he continued.
"Unfortunately, since the girl whose body he's in hasn't died, we can't get a lock on her spirit.or Hiei's. It will be up to you to find him..her."
Yusuke snorted. "That won't be hard." He said dryly. "Once Hiei realizes he's a girl, he'll blow up everything in sight." The others nodded, but Koenma shook his head.
"I'm afraid not. . . you see, Hiei is in a human body. . .and therefore, he has only a human's abilities."
The room went silent, until finally Kurama spoke.
"Oh dear. . ."
Author's Notes: Okay, I know that chapter stunk. . . I'm so sorry! Anyway. . . I forgot to mention. If you have any ideas for things to happen- TELL ME! I'd love suggestions.
