'How long is this going to take?' Hiei thought. It had been nearly an
hour since she had closed herself in that room to...prepare. He didn't like
the sound of that. She had told him she was summoning the dragon to speak
with him, but he wondered what they were talking about that was taking so
long.
"Well, of course I searched his mind. I'm not some amateur you know.
I have taught this technique several times," Aries said to the dragon in a
nettled tone.
"Yes, with such glowing results too," the dragon responded. "How many
is it that have failed now? Six, Seven?"
"They were weak. Also, they were not suited to handle your trials. I
admit that I made a mistake in that aspect; However, this one is different.
I searched the demon's mind and found almost no emotional weakness."
"No emotional weakness? What exactly do I have to work with then?"
The dragon asked, his hovering shadow's eyes glowing redder all the while.
"Calm down. I said almost. He does have one weakness," she said
knowingly. The dragon looked at her quizzically. She waved her hand and a
faint cloud appeared revealing a beautiful face...
"You may come in now, Hiei," her voice floated out into the corridor
where he had nearly fallen asleep, tired from the workout she had sent him
off on earlier to 'test his strength'.
Hiei entered the room. It was empty except Aries who was sitting
cross-legged in the air. She looked tired. He noticed that even though she
was half asleep she still looked beautiful. As far as light demons go, in
any event. She looked like a normal, golden haired human save the claws,
fangs, and floating. She wore all white. White pants, white, long-sleeved
shirt, and a gold cord tied around her waist. Aries had told him that she
typically wore this outfit, or one like it in any event.
She turned to him when he entered. "Sorry that took so long. It
really shouldn't have but dragons aren't the quickest creatures.
Intelligent enough, but just slow. Anyway. I need you to stand in the
center of that black circle, facing the fire."
Hiei did as he was told, and so began the possession.
He awoke in a feather-soft bed, feeling rather heavy-headed. He
didn't know why he had had those odd nightmares. They seemed a little
familiar but what the hell was with that person standing in the corner
watching?
'I had better go see how she wants training to begin today,' he thought,
disposing of his curiosity and deciding to think about that later.
After he was dressed and left his room, he realized he didn't know where to
go. 'This place is so huge I don't know how I'll find my way around it.'
Suddenly, a voice in his head told him to turn left, right, right, and
then go through the third door. Hiei wasn't used to taking orders from his
own mind but followed the instructions nonetheless, for lack of a better
way to go.
"Ah, Hiei, glad to see the dragon helped you," Aries greeted him
without turning from the stove.
"What do you mean the dragon helped me? I found my way by myself,"
he said, sitting down in front of one of the place settings.
"Don't kid yourself. You may be good but even I had trouble
navigating this place at first and I built it. The dragon gave you
directions. No," she said, holding up her hand at his open mouth, seeing he
was about to ask her what she meant. "No questions, just waffles," she said
pointing to the big plate in the middle of the table.
"Waffles? Aren't those a human food?"
"Of course they are. They're still delicious. Have as many as you
want, you'll need the energy. The dragon doesn't only take a toll on your
mind but when you summon him, even if you only wish to sacrifice an arm, if
there is not sufficient energy, the dragon will take as much as he deems
fit. So have some syrup too."
"I don't know what you're worried about, if you can get away with
only sacrificing an arm, I certainly can," Hiei said as he poured syrup
over his waffles.
"Please, drop the cocky attitude. You may be fast and reasonably
strong but you still don't have enough energy for the attack."
"Your stupid machine seemed to think so," he shot back, angry at her
assault on his fighting skills. He was referring to the machine they used
to take the test to get into the tournament. It measured your knowledge of
the demon world and your spirit energy. Then they were made to fight
against each other. In the end, it was Kurama, Yusuke, Hiei, and another
demon that were left.(Kuwabara had been defeated by said demon.) Aries then
questioned them and established which was best suited for her techniques.
"The machine measured whether you have enough energy to become my
student. Now shut up and have another waffle."
