Chapter 10: Lost and Found
Hiei had to have collided with at least for hundred and some trees before he hit solid ground. When he did he had pine needles stuck in his arms, leaves in his boxers and a bird's nest matted into his hair. But what about Botan? Was she alright? He looked down to find the blue-haired deity fast asleep in his arms. He was relieved to find that she was okay. He decided that he had had his share of adventure for one day. He laid his head down on the moist earth beneath him and drifted off into a dreamless sleep. How many hours he had slept away, he did not know. What seemed like an eternity later, he woke up soaking wet and choking on water. He looked and saw that he was in the middle of a lake, more than likely where he and Botan had landed the night before. His glance shifted to the shore, where Botan was sitting on a rock and smiling indignantly. " That ought to teach you to snore in my ear while I'm trying to sleep." Botan said crossly. Hiei looked at her and was began laughing uncontrollably. " Sorry, didn't mean to disturb your beauty sleep. Well I more or less deserved that. Come on in the water's fine." Hiei dove under. He didn't resurface for a few minutes. Botan began to worry. Suddenly, a giant squid emerged form the depths of the lake, holding Hiei in its tentacles. " Strike my last stereotype." Hiei commented. He then erupted in flames, and turned on the beast. " Sword of the Darkness Flame." Hiei's sword sliced the creature into ribbons. He then fell back in the water. Minutes later, he crawled out of the water covered in blood and guts. He then went to clean himself up and find them some breakfast. Botan also cleaned herself up and began to gather firewood. Hiei returned with two fresh rabbits. When the firewood was in place and the meat was fresh on the spit, Hiei lit his hand and stuck it in the wood. The wood ignited and began to cook the meat slowly. After they had eaten their hard earned meal. They began to walk in the direction that Hiei had deemed north. After a few hours, it began to get dark. Botan spoke up. " Hiei," she began, " Can't you use your fire abilities to send up a signal or something." " The thought had crossed my mind," Hiei admitted, " but whether anyone would pay any notice to it is a different story." " What have you got to lose?" Botan inquired. Hiei let out a burst of flame toward the sky. Hopefully a member of the Urameshi team would notice it and find a way to get to them. In the meantime, Kurama was talking with the other members of the Urameshi team on what course they should take to find Hiei and Botan. All of a sudden, a burst of black flame appeared in the distance. Kurama recognized it immediately. " That's Hiei, come on." He commanded. Two hours later found the couple back in friendly company, neither of them wanting to leave it again.
I know it's short but I'm saving more for later chapters. I guarantee some of you will get you're wish for Marik to rot in hell. Just please be patient. Merry belated Christmas.
