"Well," he taunted. "If it isn't the notorious Hiei Jaganshi." Hiei
glowered, to reveal the name of a fellow demon went against the unspoken
unwritten laws of the Maiki. Hiei began charging his youki and felt the
dragon tattoo on his right arm pulse in his muscles. This didn't go
unnoticed by the bat demon. He bent over and scooped up the baby, holding
it by one hand at the neck, its face now placid. "I wouldn't recommend that
Hiei, power down. No Black Dragons."
Hiei glowered; he didn't take too kindly to being ordered around. He was about to tell the other demon to fuck off and blow him to smithereens anyway, but one look at the baby distilled these thoughts. That damned bat demon had the upper hand, and everyone knew it, even those little ningen children. Did Hiei like this fact? No, he hated it, he more than hated it. He loathed it entirely.
But what Hiei hated the most about this situation was the fact that he could have prevented it, but he didn't. What was that feeling in his stomach? It felt like an angry writhing snake. It wasn't hard to figure it out. That feeling was guilt, he knew it well. Every time he saw how happy Kurama was, here in the Ningenki with his human family, he felt it. When he thought back at all the battles he won, and all the people he killed, the expected ecstasy was absent, replaced by that writhing serpent. Did those people even disserve what he did to them? Most times not. Worse of all whenever he even so much as looked at Yukina. Yes, whenever he even thought about her. Yukina. His sister. That damned serpent came back with a vengeance.
Hiei's eyes drifted back up to the demon's ugly scaled visage and his eyes narrowed. This would not be one of those deaths that haunted him, no this one he will savor. He would kill this demon, this now class S demon. Just not now, he would have to wait for the most opportune moment. Until then, he would play this little game.
Hiei complied and the last Jagan closed as the sky grew steadily darker. Hiei almost immediately collapsed. He forgot how much reverting to full demonic form drained him. That opportune moment, he would have to wait a while for it. He may even have to hunt this demon down.
"Oh this is going to be sweet," the bat demon snickered. "I can't wait to see the looks on my clan's faces when I tell them that I killed Hiei Jaganshi, the Maiki's most powerful and skilled assas-." The rest of the demon's words were drowned out by a resounding crash that shook the earth. Hiei looked up and what he saw nearly made his heart stand still.
C.o.M.: I should stop here. I really should, keep u guys waiting. But that would be evil. So what? I am evil. But you really shouldn't. Why not? Because it's a short chapter. No it isn't!! Oh, wait, damn I'm right, it is short. So you should continue. I DON'T HAVE TOO!!! The last one was short, hee hee hee. But the first chapter is always short; you're just setting things up for the rest of the rest of the story. Damn it, I hate it when I'm right. I'm always right. Hey shut up!! Just get on with the ficcie.thingie..
The bat demon was being struck by a bolt of neon blue lightning. He was shaking like a ningen having one of those 'seizures' and his burning flesh was creating a rancid odor in the air. How many times had Hiei smelled it before? More than he could possibly remember. Thirty long seconds passed and the bolt died and as quickly as the lightening struck, the sky cleared back into its original perfect attire.
The bat demon, still holding the baby, fell onto his knees and then on top of the infant. Moving faster than light Hiei was standing over the still smoldering corpse. Flipping the reeking body over with his boot he bent down and gingerly lifted the woman-child, he now noticed, from the demon's crispy grasp. He looked at her, and then at the crowd. "Can anyone here control the weather?" Utter silence answered him. Hiei eyed the baby in his arms; she was nearly dead, only the smallest piece of life force remained.
Making up his mind Hiei turned to leave. "W-where are you going.?" Over his shoulder Hiei saw that it was Suichi. Normally Hiei wouldn't bother giving an answer, but because he's Kurama's younger Ningen brother. "I'm taking her to where she belongs." With that, he sped off faster than any human or even most demons could follow.
C.o.M. There, now I can stop without my other self pestering the hell out of me about it. I'll still find something to bug you with. Yeah, but not this!! HA Ha ha!! I am hungry, reviews are authoress food!! FEED ME!!!
