Part 10
"Hiei?" I paused. "It has been 3 hours." I paused again. "Will you let go of me now? As of this century? I am not hyper anymore and am not about to go terrorizing demons for candy. Let me go. At least let go of my shirt. It is really wrinkled by now." Earlier I had told you that Hiei had dragged me into Koenma's office. I was still there and he was sitting peacefully, more expressionless than peaceful, holding onto my shirt and not letting go. This gets into a bit of a problem. I started to think. 'Wasn't he supposed to train me sometime? I thought it was going to be the next day, but maybe he started now. Not a good thing, but if it is training, this is the most stupidest way to do so.' I sighed. 'I guess I'll have to attempt to find a way out. For a start' I thought, looking at Hiei, 'I'm going to punch him in the face.'
"Go ahead and try. I doubt you will make it."
"WILL YOU STOP READING MY MIND YOU LITTLE FRENCH MIDGET?" I yelled at him. I said the 'little French midget' part with a French accent.
"I'm not French."
'I'll call for help. I'll say that you are harassing me."
"What does that have to do with anything?" Said another voice from the doorway. "This has all been very entertaining, but I must get to the point."
"Who are you?" Hiei asked. It was a dark shadow taking form. Its final form was a tall lady with black hair. She had red eyes, fangs, an interesting black shirt, a red and gold skirt, and black high-heeled shoes.
"It doesn't matter."
"It's YOU!" I said at her. They both looked at me. I continued on after a pause. "She's the lady that was stalking the pears in the picnic basket!" They gave me very annoyed expressions. I looked around me and found something very interesting. "I AM FREE!" I said and looked back at Hiei. "You take care of her while I run far away to never return." I said, giggled, and then left the room and shut the door. Outside, I paused. I thought to myself, 'What if that lady was dangerous? She might want to fight. Someone might get hurt.' I paused and thought about a possible result. 'Poor lady.' I said shaking my head.
Just as I was thinking that thought, a black blur came by and grabbed me. It was the lady. We hurried through many corridors until I was lost. Her touch was very cold and I shivered and then realized what was happening. "AAAAAHHHHHH! I'M GETTING GROPED BY A PERVERTED LADY!" I shouted to no one. The result of what I said was very clear. I got to meet the floor very quickly. The lady was looking down at me.
"No one says that about Nara Ska. You will pay." Her hand rose up and blood from absolutely nowhere appeared on it. She let the blood drip on the floor next to mine and I watched the floor burn. I gasped and moved away with fright. 'Hiei was better than this! At least I only got hit on the head. Scratch whatever I said before about feeling bad for the lady. She is evil and... I'm scared. What will happen to me if I get touched by that blood?' I thought. As though Nara Ska had heard my thoughts, she told me,
"Do you know what this blood is from?" She asked coldly. I only shook my head. "It is from the souls of the dead. I draw on their energy and turn it into acid blood that burns all but me. I call it 'Soul Blood'" I stared at her and her hand. I was shaking with fright.
"What does this have to do with me?" I asked mumbling.
"It has nothing to do with you, but my being here does. If you do not co- operate, then it will involve you. You will feel extensive pain as this blood burns through your body."
"How do you expect me to co-operate if I don't know what's going on!" I said. She gave me a freaky smile.
"I will be back." Was all she said and then disappeared. I was still on the floor and I hugged my legs. "What is going on?" I turned my head down the hall and in a dark corner; I could have sworn I had seen her red eyes.
I heard voices down the hall that were shouting my name. As they neared I could hear part of a conversation.
"And you did nothing to save her?"
"She ran off. She was no longer my business."
"Can't you ever care more about a person than that?"
"Hn."
I recognized the voices to be Hiei and Kurama. 'Hiei did nothing to help me? That is just sounds like him.' I thought. 'But then why is helping Kurama to look for me?' they neared and say me. Hiei stopped where he was and Kurama came towards me.
"Are you alright, Fox?" He asked. I nodded. I saw him look to the burnt part of the floor next to me. "What happened?" I could only shake my head. I didn't want to talk about it.
"I was scared." I whispered, feeling stupid as I said it. "She said she'd be back."
"Did she say why?"
"No, but she said I had to co-operate or she'd... she'd." I pointed to the burnt floor.
"She'd burn you?"
"In a way." I sighed and started to explain what happened. "She grabbed me and after I said something she dropped me onto the floor and raised an arm. It started to glow and blood from nowhere I could see started to drip from it. As it dripped to the floor it burned the floor like acid. She called it 'Soul Blood' and said that it was acid blood made from souls. She threatened to use it on me. She then gave me a scary smile and told me she'd be back. Then she disappeared." I stopped for a minute.
"Soul blood?" Kurama said. He then turned to Hiei. "Have you ever heard of it? I know I haven't experienced anything like that." Hiei paused in a hesitating way before replying.
"Yes." He said.
"Where did you discover it?" Kurama asked.
"I didn't discover it. I saw it and felt it. That lady, Nara Ska, was once a partner for me in theft for a rare treasure. It was her favorite technique. We fought over the item and she won with that technique." Hiei told us and said no more.
"Hiei?" I paused. "It has been 3 hours." I paused again. "Will you let go of me now? As of this century? I am not hyper anymore and am not about to go terrorizing demons for candy. Let me go.
