Chapter Three: Tormented soul

Pyro glared at Damon her eyes flashing with a fiery anger. "Let's fight." She growled the daggers already glowing black with the flames surrounding them.

Pyro jumped at him with lightning fast speed but Damon easily dodged, "I see you have gotten better." He growled his sword already in his hand.

Hiei watched from up in the tree, he didn't understand what was going on or even who this Damon was. He continued to watch wanting to see Pyro's power.

Pyro then crossed her two daggers the daggers began to glow black. "Dancing shadows." She screamed and then she slammed the two daggers together suddenly shadows appeared all around both Pyro and Damon. "Obliterate." Pyro screamed and the shadows surrounded Damon.

Damon just laughed and then he sliced his knife through the shadows and they vanished.

Pyro glared she hated using this attack but she had no choice. "I have no choice mother forgive me." She whispered and then she began to glow black. Her hair lifted into the air and a vortex of blackness surrounded her.

She slit one dagger across her arm and the other across her lips. The moment the blood hit the dagger it turned crimson red and began to glow. Words began to whisper into her mind, 'Don't do this attack.' It was her mother's voice.

Pyro shut her eyes and fell back to earth; 'you will have to one day daughter but not now.' The voice finished. Pyro hit the ground hard most of her energy gone.

She saw a triumphant look on Damon's face. "No." she growled. "I swore I would never go back."

Pyro began to whisper, "tortured souls fire of death and destruction come to me." The black flames started to gather. "Pure souls fires of salvation and life. Come to me." The flames mixed and began the half dragon half angel again. "DESTRUCTION." Screamed Pyro and then everything began slowly.

Pyro realized that Hiei was sitting in a tree a tree that would be in the way of the blast. "He'll be killed." She whispered and then she was on her feet flames appeared around her. The dragon opened its mouth slowly.

Pyro grabbed Hiei's hand and then she concentrated, "Protect us." She whispered and her flames shot up around her and Hiei.

Time returned too normal as the dragon let out a blast of pure destruction. But Pyro had heard the voice, "I'll return for you." It was Damon.

The blast hit her and Hiei hard the flames flickered slightly but Pyro would not let them go out she couldn't if she did her and Hiei would be killed. The blast vanished, "Life." Whispered Pyro as her eyes dropped shut.

~Dream~

"I'm reaching out without a sound; my pride falls to the floor again."

Pyro stood looking around trying to figure out where the sound was coming from.

"Inside my mind, I search to find. A place just to call my own."

Pyro began to walk trying to follow the voice she had to something was commanding her to find that gentle caring voice. If only she could find him then she wouldn't need to be afraid any longer.

"Deep inside you're eyes, I'm blinded by you're love. Still I run so far just to find that I'm alone again."

Pyro began to run she had to get to him, he was close she had to find him he would protect her he loved her. He wouldn't let anything hurt her again. She would finally be safe free from her nightmares.

"In my head, I hear you calling me and I can't run cause there's nothing left for me."

Pyro ran faster she had to find that voice. She came into a clearing the voice was louder coming in more clearly. "When I fall you always follow me, deep inside, deep inside, deep inside of me head."

Pyro ran faster nothing else mattered except that she followed that voice that she get to him.

"I just can't last as these feelings pass, once again I hide the pain inside."

The voice seemed to be getting louder Pyro kept pushing herself. 'I'm coming.' She though then she ran faster.

"And the smile wears thin and the lies begin, to bring me down again."

Pyro ran faster and then suddenly the voice it grew distant, "NO STAY." Pyro screamed.

~End dream~

Pyro's eyes shot open she was looking into eyes so much like her own, "Hiei." She whispered.

Pyro got to her feet she shook her head the half dragon half angel stood in front of her it looked sadly at her. "Return." Pyro whispered and then she started walking away.

"Who is Darrin." Whispered Hiei.

Pyro spun towards him, "What?" she growled her eyes flashing dangerously with anger.

"You spoke his name in you're sleep." Hiei said looking at her intently.

"Oh." Pyro growled.

"Are you going to answer me?" Hiei growled slightly.

Pyro turned towards him hurt shinning in her fiery eyes, "He's a wicked evil youkai." She hissed and then she lifted up her pant leg showing him the D engraved into her skin.

"Because of him I've been to hell and back." Pyro growled her flames flickering around her while tears appeared in her crimson eyes.

"I do not understand." Hiei whispered looking slightly confused.

"He found me when I was young, and instantly took a liking to me. He considered me his so he marked me for all to know." Pyro whispered while tears began to fall.

Hiei looked at her his eyes had softened somewhat.

"For four years my life was hell, one day I escaped I suspect he has been searching for me since then." Pyro said and then she turned to walk away from Hiei.

"I hate ningens because if it wasn't for one that chased me that day I would of never met Darrin." Pyro growled and then she vanished leaving behind a stunned fire youkai.

Pyro appeared back at Yuske house she went looking for Kurama.

"Pyro." Said a familiar voice behind her.

"Kurama." Pyro said and then she turned to look at her brother.

"I have news my sister it seems we are to fight in the dark tournament again."

"The dark tournament." Pyro said and then remembered. "Darrin." She hissed and then she was gone in a flash.

"Darrin." Kurama whispered and then ran off after his sister.

Pyro again was up on the roof she heard her brother come up.

"I suppose you want to know who Darrin is." Pyro growled his name with great dislike.

Kurama nodded.

"He was the one who kidnapped me from you and mom, he was the one who tortured me he was the one who made my life hell." Pyro whispered.

"He will be there. He will be at the dark tournament." Pyro growled.

"How do you know?" Kurama asked.

Pyro looked up at him her eyes full of hatred, "Believe me I know." She growled and then she looked up at the sky. "I would rather die that go back to him." Pyro growled angrily.

"I'm going to train." Pyro hissed and then she was off and running towards the forest again.

Hiei was still in the forest when Pyro entered it again, "We fight in the dark tournament." She growled and then she unsheathed her flaming daggers and began to swipe at trees knocking them over with a single touch of the blade.

Hiei crossed over to her and then he grabbed her daggers. "Calm down." He whispered.

Pyro's eyes narrowed, "You have no fucking clue what I've been through." She growled anger filling her fiery eyes. "I was tortured for four fucking years, so don't you dare tell me to calm down." Pyro growled and then she swiftly stole back her daggers. "Don't you ever touch my daggers again." Pyro hissed and then she turned away from Hiei.

"Oh but I do Pyro." Hiei whispered at her retreating back.

Pyro froze then she turned to face Hiei had she heard right had he said he did know what it was like? How dare he no one knew what it was like to be her.

"Really Hiei, you had to suffer being beat and then-." Pyro broke off, "I don't even want to say it you name it it's happened to me."

"Good day." Pyro growled before stomping off angrily.

Brimstone: I'm sorry it's short but I promise next chapter will be long because well they start the dark tournament.

Darrin: Hey how come I haven't been in the story yet? *Looks at brimstone sadly*

Pyro: *Drops Hiei unexpectedly fear showing in her eyes* Why can't you leave me alone?

Damon: *Laughs evilly* Told you I would be back!!
