Disclaimer: Sorry it's so short. Part 4 is longer (I think). Please R&R
or I shall pine. (Just kidding. I'll stop updating). I'll write faster
with more reviews. Enjoy.
Part 3
Sister's Help
*Hiei*
"Where are you Yukina?" I whispered to myself as I unveiled my Jagen eye. A quick search and I had found her. Turning a little more north than east I set a course to my half-sister. Miles where gone in moments and before I knew it, I was running on snow. Quickly, I put the white cloth I wore over my third eye back on and skidded to a halt behind a tree that she stood close to.
Like every other time I had observed her, she was enjoying the company of small animals. I didn't want to drag her into this but my cousin, whom I had known all my life, the only one, besides Yukina, that was family, was dying.
The animals took off the moment I moved from behind the tree. My sister spun, obviously scared. Then a look of thoughtfulness crossed her features.
"Do I know you?" She was obviously searching her memory. "Wait, I do. You're that guy that helped Kazuma in the Dark Tournament last year. Your name is Hiei, right?" I nodded and she smiled. "It's so nice to see you again. But what brings you here? It's a long ways just to say 'hi'."
She did think a little like me then. It was surprising that she would look for an alternative motive so quickly, even if she were my sister.
"Do you know of a plant called helkakuive?"
"Yes."
"Where can I find it?" My hopes rose slightly as I waited for an answer.
"It's far from here. In a very hostile area." She dropped her gaze. "I'm afraid that it's nigh impossible to reach." She seemed disappointed that she couldn't help me.
And that was the end of my hope. Closing my eyes, the image of my cousin lying in her bed, asleep, but with red cheeks and labored breathing plagued me immediately. "You said 'nigh impossible.' Then there is still a chance. I shall kill any demon or human that may stand in my way. Where is it?" Determination was the word I would live on for the next while.
