Raining Cats and Demons

Chapter Sixteen: Dragon of the Darkness Flames

Kurama and Roto looked to be deep in a conversation. Reiluka stared at them curiously.

"What are they talking about?" She asked Hiei, who shrugged in response. Then she watched in slight horror that Kurama was just standing there while Roto hit him with hard punches. Reiluka frowned while Hiei glared at Roto. I wonder what made him do that? She thought. Suddenly she noticed that Kurama had thrown a pebble at Roto and then to her satisfaction he inserted a Death Seed into Roto's chest. She smiled.
"What are you smiling about shorty?" Kuwabara asked Reiluka angrily.

"DO NOT CALL ME THAT OR I WILL HURT YOU!" She hissed fiercely. Kuwabara shrank back mumbling apologies. Reiluka turned her attention back to the fight. She noticed that Roto was now frozen to the spot as the Death Seed started eating away at him. She heard his last few words as he died.

"Please Kurama! I wasn't really going to push the button!" Roto cried franticly. Kurama looked at him with disgust that clearly showed on his face.

"What if I truly didn't care?" And with that last word Kurama walked out of the arena while the plant consumed Roto.
"What the heck was that about Kurama?" Kuwabara asked as he walked up to Kurama. Kurama only smiled as he shared a knowing look with Hiei and Reiluka.

"Okay! Next fighters please step up to the ring!" Koto yelled. The team leader Zeru stepped into the ring. Kuwabara was about to go in but Hiei stopped him.

"I am going to fight him." He said in an eerily calm voice. Kuwabara just stared dumbly at him. Hiei hopped into the ring and Koto started the fight. Zeru attacked immediately with a fire wave.(A/N;I don't know what it's called)Reiluka watched as Hiei was engulfed in the flame. Kurama noticed that she looked extremely worried. Reiluka thought that Hiei had died but was amazed that he came out of the fire without a scratch. Hiei smirked at the equally amazed Zeru.
"Because you have insulted the Jagan Eye, I will kill you with one of my most powerful attacks." And then Hiei started gathering black energy in his hands. The ground beneath them shook as giant waves of energy clashed around Hiei. Kuwabara was beyond freaked and Reiluka and Kurama watched stupefied, as Hiei grew more powerful by the minute. Zeru backed towards the edge of the ring. Hiei laughed.

"Dragon Of The Darkness Flame!" Hiei shouted and released a huge black dragon. The dragon hurtled towards Zeru who was frozen to the spot. Reiluka heard Zeru's screams as the dragon pushed him into the wall and in seconds the whole thing was over. The crowd was silent and even Koto seemed to be stunned before she quickly regained her composure. "And the winner by death is Hiei!" She shouted. That quickly received numerous boo's and few cheers. Reiluka smiled at Hiei as he walked out of ring. She noticed a small blush form on Hiei's face. She was about to laugh when she noticed his right arm. It was singed and Hiei seemed to wince every time he tried to move it. Kurama noticed as well. "The Dragon seemed to have taken its toll on Hiei as well as you." Kurama said softly to Reiluka. She blushed upon hearing these words. Kurama smiled at her. She just huffed and turned back towards the ring. I knew it; she's in love with Hiei.

I know it was sort of confusing towards the end. Next chapter Yusuke will fight Chuu and Reiluka will be visited by her mother again. Reiluka will also reveal to her mother the name of the person that will protect her. Who could it be??? Anyways, thanks for reviewing and keep them coming! I need ideas so feel free to tell me about any ideas that you have! Thanks! Animechick8
