I do not own any of the Yu Yu Hakusho characters but I own Genkan, Rika
(soon to come,) and this story. ^_^
Okay, there was a "goof" in the last chapter. I stated that the Dragon Spirit of Silence was red first and then I said it was green a couple of times. It IS suppose to be red. Just to straighten that up.
Now to continue with the story. To recap, Hiei was just leaving with Genkan to go to the Demon Underworld in order to find an Aura. Genkan is leading Hiei to a place called Kon. Here we go!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
Hiei slid his headband over his Jagan eye as Genkan had done. "What exactly are we going to do when we find this-Aura?" Hiei asked as they walked down a beaten path in the forest.
She took a while to say something, "Hm. Well, Koenma simply ordered that you and I retrieve her from the Demon Underworld and bring her back to him."
"Wait. Does HE know this-girl?"
"I don't think so," Genkan muttered and slowed down. "Okay, be sure to follow closely, Hiei."
Hiei glanced around at a placid lake, "Follow you where? What are we doing at this stupid lake?"
Genkan looked up at the moon, "The moon must reflect itself at the center of this lake-and then," she paused, "A portal will open, long enough for us to get through." Hiei wondered if she passed from the demon world to the human world often. Genkan folded her arms, watching the moon's reflection slowly inch to the center.
Hiei looked up at the moon, "Hn. You can only pass through the portal when the moon is full, right?" Genkan nodded.
A small crack emerged from thin air and a shady light creaked through it. Hiei waited for Genkan's first movement. As it was opening, Hiei got another calling from the girl... 'Please save me, Hiei...' her voice was soft and fading but to Hiei it was like shattering glass. He grunted, closing his eyes tightly. Genkan turned her head quickly. She sent him a message, telekinetically... 'Hey, don't be falling apart now! We have to move!' The moon was aligned at the center finally but Hiei was feeling intense pain eating at him. Genkan could only grab his arm and drag him so she did. They got through the entrance but was there enough time to get out of the portal? Hiei felt like he was going blind and all he could see was black. Then he just fainted.
When Hiei awoke, he was laying on his back, staring up into a dark gray sky. He could feel pebbles poking into his back and when his vision became focused, he could see Genkan sitting on a flat rock. She seemed to be staring blankly into the hills upon hills of dried up and cracked ground. Hiei sat up, feeling sick to the stomach. His mouth felt dry and vile. He took a few deep breaths before alerting Genkan to his regaining consciousness. Although, she had all ready sensed him awakening. She slid off the rock and went over to him.
She asked, with her emotionless face, "Do you feel like hurling?"
Hiei narrowed his eyes and then glared up at her, "Are you gloating?" He cradled his stomach and shook his head around.
"Is it because of the Aura?"
Hiei breathed out, "Probably."
"Probably?"
"Unless you're secret portal has some sort of sickening effect."
Genkan looked down at the ground, wondering, "Do you suppose that you might be feeling HER pain?" Then she quickly added, "Nevermind. I do not wish to get involved with your feelings. I'm simply here to guide you-so once you are well enough to continue, let me know."
"Hmph," Hiei smiled, feeling the noxiousness wearing off a little. He felt that the pain and sickness would only grow, the closer they got to the Aura. He decided that it wouldn't do any good to wait for it to go away completely and stood up, getting Genkan's attention. She stepped off a rock she was standing on and headed toward the many hills. Hiei trailed behind her.
Later, when Hiei finally caught the same pace Genkan was on, there was nothing to be seen but more and more hills. Hiei mumbled, "You're sure this is the right way?"
"Of course," she glanced at him. "You ARE feeling more painful-Correct?"
Hiei looked back at her. She all ready knew, so he didn't say anything. The ground rattled and both of them stopped. A very large beast was rising from the ground. It was four-legged and looked to be a cross between a dog and a type of lizard. "Damn," Hiei groaned, sensing massive energy off the creature.
Genkan sighed, being frustrated and annoyed, " 'Damn' is right." She looked him over, "I hope you can make yourself a little useful."
Hiei gripped his sword, "I think a good fight can remedy this harassing pain." He slid the sword out of its sheath and assured Genkan, "I can handle it."
She nodded, "Good. Because Koenma would have me burn in Hell for all eternity if you die." Then she drew out her twin blades, as the monster was about to devour them.
They both dodged out of the way, zipping in different directions. Hiei attacked as the monster turned towards Genkan's direction. He slashed off one of its ears and dark red blood spurted from the wound. Hiei was soaked just after that and the monster howled. Genkan made a second attack, leaping onto the back of its neck and jabbing her blades into the back of its head. More blood gushed out. Since both Hiei and Genkan had extreme speed, they put many deep gouges into the beast in under a minute. Much blood had splattered on them and it seemed to keep coming like hard rain. The beast made a final long, echoing howl and exploded! Apparently that was the only devastating move it had but it was sacrificial. That very hard blow sent Hiei and Genkan blasting into the ground.
Moments later, Hiei twitched in agony, trying to pick himself up from the deep crevice he made in the ground. The wall was crumbling down on him but he couldn't move. His skin was stained with stinging demon blood and he still felt noxious from the Aura. So he let the dirt cover him because he couldn't do a thing about it.
And so... he was left to dream and have nightmares.
--I can't see... Where am I? What is that sound? ...How am I suppose to help you and why would you choose me of all people? It doesn't seem right... because I am alone and it has always been that way... even if they claimed to be my friends... It doesn't seem right...
'Are you okay?'
Who's there?
'Hey! Come on, I'm not even getting paid to take care of you! Wake up!'
Sounds familiar... Somehow...
'Hiei! Hiei!'
Hm. I wonder if I'm dead. Everything is so quiet... dark... peaceful... Well... I hope that idiot will take care of my sister... She deserves the best...
'Dammit, Hiei! Wake up!'
Huh?--
Genkan was mumbling to herself, ripping apart a white cloak. She dipped a smaller piece into a trough of clean water next to her and picked up Hiei's arm. Hiei came to. He was sleepy and everything was blurry but he could see Genkan clearly enough. She was wiping the harmful blood off him. She was still drenched with the demon's blood. Hiei rolled his eyes around, examining their new surroundings.
"Where are we?" he coughed.
Genkan flinched, shocked to see him awake, "Um-How are you feeling?" Hiei just stared. "Hm. We are at an abandoned-house-I guess that's what this once was. Perhaps a demon hunter inhabited this place."
Hiei cleared his throat, "You think a human might have lived here?"
"Can't you smell it?" She continued to clean the blood off him.
"So, you chose to tend my wounds first?" he certainly smelled demon-blood aroma off her. "Isn't it painful?"
"I believe you are much more needy than me right now." Hiei smiled, pondering whether she was caring for him to save herself from Koenma's punishment. Or was she being sincere in caring just for him? He fell asleep again, but without any dreams.
By the time he woke up, Genkan had managed to rid their skins of the blood. 'How clean did she actually make me?' Hiei thought to himself, smirking.
"I hope you weren't having nasty thoughts, Hiei," Genkan walked into the tiny room, sliding her cleaned blades into their sheaths. Hiei blushed, standing up. "Good, you can stand-Then let's get going to Kon. It isn't far now."
The sky was even darker then before and occasionally they would see glowing pairs of eyes in the distance. They would ignore them for the most time so as not to further complicate their journey. Step by step, Hiei felt worse and worse. 'The Aura must have been tortured a lot,' he thought. Genkan didn't like to see him so weak. She remembered the amazing power she felt when he called on the Dragon of the Darkness Flame. Now someone else's pain was eating at him. She believed that no one should suffer for someone else's mistake. Hiei was reading her thoughts again and made Genkan embarrassed when she realized it.
"It's not that I care about YOU," she spoke. "It's just-anyone in general."
"Hm." Hiei smirked, feeling good for a second.
They reached the end of a cliff and a ways down the slope they could see what looked like a village. "There's Kon," Genkan announced and Hiei gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. He put his hand over his heart. Genkan then felt a new emotion to her. Worry.
