Averon – I just changed a bit in four of the other chapters in this, if you want to see what's different. The descriptions in the last chapter just got MUCH better. They sucked before...

Explanations
"What happened?"
"Did you see anything?"
"Why is he wearing different clothes?"
"Who's that?"
BAM!
This is what assaulted Hiei's ears when the bell rose. He wasn't sure if the 'bam' was Yusuke hitting Kuwabara for the stupid question or the priest hitting the floor when he fainted once more. Everyone who had been in the room, and seemingly everyone else in the kingdom, was crowded around him asking him an unending stream of questions.
"Enough!" Genkai's voice rang over the bedlam and silence reigned. Now Hiei knew why she had always been a good queen. "I'm sure Hiei would be quite willing to answer all of or questions, if we present them in something near a civilized manner. Everyone who is not required to be here for the interrogation, leave. Now." And everyone obeyed. The curious populous left in a rush while the necessary few gathered around a dizzy Hiei. Someone had dragged out the unconscious priest as well. Good.
"Ok then, now that that's settled. Everyone gather round in an orderly fashion. We'll go around the circle and ask our questions one at a time." Genkai ordered.
"With you going first?" Yusuke asked while obeying his grandmother.
"No. For all I care you can go first. I was trying to find a way to get the questioned asked without everyone killing Hiei." The queen replied, disgruntled. "Of course I'm going first, dimwit! I'm the queen right now whether I want to be or not. Everyone in a circle? Good. Ok, Hiei, tell us exactly what happened, if you can." Everyone was quiet now, staring directly at the poor soul in the middle of the circle.
Hiei took a deep breath and tried to decide how to explain what happened in the fewest words. They didn't need to know about the avatars, after all. Or the arguments, really. "When the bell lowered over top of me there was this flash of light and I was in the temple. Then this guy appeared out of nowhere and said he was Horizon and asked if I would find the prince. I agreed so he unlocked my element and gave me these." Hiei explained pulling up his right sleeve and taking off his headband. He heard someone gasp and hit the floor, who ended up being Yusuke (I ran out of priests...), while everyone else just stared. 'Is that all these people know how to do? I've had more people stare at me today...' he thought.
"What the hell is wrong with you? You have a tattoo and a third eye!!" Kuwabara screeched.
"I realize that, baka. But it's not a tattoo. It's a dragon that the damned god decided I should have to help me." Hiei spat.
"Don't curse the god!!" A random priest shouted. 'Gods, those morons are everywhere. When they aren't fainting they're saying I'm blasphemous' Hiei thought darkly.
"What's tha dragoon do, Hiei?" Jin asked, curious.
"Not a clue." Hiei shrugged. At least Jin wasn't stupid. Hyper, but not stupid.
"And the eye?" Genkai pressed.
"Something about seeing beyond, but not the future, and telling when people are lying." Hiei answered. The sooner this was done the sooner he could go to bed and try to figure this day out. 'There's no way this is real. Perhaps a dream, or maybe a nightmare.' He mused.
"He didn't tell you much, did he? Do you at least know how to use them?" the priest who had yelled at him asked. He obviously thought Hiei was lying.
"No. He said I'd figure it out eventually and that he had faith in me, even if I had none in him. Would you like me to try to it out now?" Hiei asked with venom. The dragon that now resided on Hiei's arm once again lifted its head, this time hissing at the fool priest. The priest fainted. 'There seems to be a lot of that going around. Maybe it's an infectious disease that only affects idiots....' Hiei thought fondly. 'No, the baka Kuwabara would have fainted by now....'
"If that's all you can tell us," Genkai spoke while keeping a wary eye on the dragon, "I suggest you pull your sleeve down and put your headband back on. I'm going to let the people in and make sure the dimwit and the other priest get medical attention." The queen left, doing just as she said. Hiei barely managed to get his headband tied back on before the flood rushed in.
It seemed like the entire city rushed into the room, making it seem ten times smaller. He could feel all their minds pressing in on his own. Some filthy, and some amazingly clean. It was enough to make him feel sick. It was like he could taste all the lies and malice in the room in the back of his throat, like a terrible aftertaste. It was disgusting. 'No wonder I never liked people that much.' He thought, desperately trying not to let his disgust show on his face. 'I can't deal with these fools now. They're making me sick! I gotta get out of here.'
'Jussst rrrun. Wave my arrrm and rrrun. Trrussst me.' A voice in his head hissed, gently.
'Your arm?! Whatever, this day just gets weirder by the minute...' Hiei thought, listening to the voice that he assumed was the dragon. He waved his right arm and felt the dragon leave for a second, no more, and took off as fast as he could. He ran through the people dodging them as they seemed to move in slow motion. He felt the dragon come back to his arm and hiss with satisfaction as he ran out of the building. He made it back to the temple at the edge of the city in record time. So fast in fact, that no one seemed to have noticed his passing. 'Ok, what the hell did you do?' He queried the creature on his arm.
'I merrrely made a cloud of sssmoke. You did the rrressst. It'sss yourrr element. You can rrrun fasssterrr then mosst eyesss can follow. Yourrrsss can, of courrrssse, orr you wouldn't have been able to sssee wherrre you werrre going.' It explained, patiently.
"Whatever you say." Hiei muttered out loud, going to his pallet in the salle. It had been a long day, and even if the sun was only just setting he was tired. It's not everyday you get a dragon that talks in your arm, a third eye, and visit a god. "Goodnight, whatever the hell you are." He muttered again, falling into a dreamless sleep.
'Sssleep well, frrriend' the dragon mumbled sleepily.
