I'M FINALLY MOVING ON!!!
~ Dark Takeover: Chapter 7 ~
Aklyis gasped and wheezed for air as she desperately tried to keep up with the speedy fire demon.
'How can he run so fast?! I can barely even see his legs moving,' she thought to herself as she tried to comprehend the reasoning behind his ungodly speed.
'What the hell is wrong now, I was about to hurt that little girl, and now I'm running like a dog to its master.' Hiei thought, still quite angry from the previous occurrences.
The two finally reached the clearing where they had camped before. It was completely trashed.
"Miya, what happened?" Aklyis asked her sister.
"Well, I heard noises, like, windy noises, and strange whispery-type voices, so I got my bow out. But then suddenly it flew out of my hands. It's like something had just wacked it away from me. So I went over there and hid in that bush.then all I saw was lightning, and a dark windy type force completely trash the place. I'm sure it was some kind of magic."
Hiei looked around the clearing thinking why anything, or anyone with magical powers would want to trash a completely innocent looking campsite. Perhaps, they were looking for something?
"Were you carrying anything valuable, that anyone might want?" He asked still examining the demolished site.
Miya shook her head, "No, we never stole anything, or even own anything that's of any value to anyone."
"Do you think it was...him?" Aklyis asked her sister, haunting memories filling her mind at the thought of the dark figure.
"I don't know," Miya answered still shaking her head
"Who's him?" Hiei asked curiously, wanting to know exactly what kind of trouble he was starting to get himself involved in.
"..The man who murdered our parents, and destroyed our kingdom," Miya began, sadness filling her voice.
"Zoran," Aklyis finished. She nearly spat the name. Anger and hate was evident in her voice. But it was also full of fear.
Hiei could tell she hated him, and wanted nothing more but to avenge her parents. To kill this Zoran guy. But he also could tell she was afraid of him. Probably because he was powerful. As soon as he had the power to bring down a kingdom, these two simple girls had much reason to fear him.
"Who were your parents?" he asked. Maybe her parents were just weakling humans, which any old geezer could kill.
"..They were the king and queen of what this land used to be." Miya replied, the sadness never leaving her.
'King and Queen?' Hiei thought. 'Well then, this is no ordinary magician. He's obviously got to be competent to kill the former king and queen, and bring down their kingdom.'
Aklyis interrupted Hiei's train of thought, "Enough talk about this, we should get moving."
The three gathered what was left of their things and started to head out. The girls turned to Hiei.
"Which way?" Aklyis asked.
Hiei began to walk in one direction. "It would be wise to stay off the path leading through. It takes longer, and we're more vulnerable to attack. Follow me, I'll get you out of here faster than you fell out of that tree," he said side glaring the brunette.
Aklyis audibly gulped and turned tomato red, while Miya glanced at the two curiously, unsure of what was going on.
Hiei spoke again as he drew his katana, "The only thing you have to be careful about now that we're off the path is the monsters. They've been flowing into my forest lately completely uncontrollably. I think they're coming from that fortress you came from earlier."
"M-monsters??" Miya stuttered
Suddenly, without warning a giant snake-like creature with lion's legs appeared, hissing at the trio, about to bite the girls' heads off.
Hiei lunged himself at the snake, swinging his katana. The sharp blade sliced through the thick skin of the serpent. Blood spewed out of it's open neck, as the head dropped to the ground with a sickening thud.
"Like that," he stated calmly, sheathing his bloody weapon, and continuing to walk.
After a few moments of regaining themselves, the girls followed Hiei again, now a bit more alert.
They had finally made it out of the forest. Dirty and exhausted, the sisters collapsed onto the ground, sighing heavily. In front of them were the ruins of a large stone temple.
"Funny, I don't recall ever coming out here," Hiei stated looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings, "Must have taken a wrong turn or something. Oh well, it doesn't really matter, I got you out like I promised."
"Why did you help us?" Aklyis asked, still breathing for fresh air.
Hiei turned his head to look at the pretty girl, "Because you saved my life."
Aklyis looked at the attractive fire demon for a moment. 'Maybe he isn't so bad..'
"H-hey, what do you guys think if we tried staying in that temple for the night. I mean it's getting real dark out here," Miya interrupted.
Hiei shrugged, "Whatever."
"Maybe it's not such a bad idea to check it out. If it's half-decent and looks stable enough to hold out for the night, sure let's do it," Aklyis answered her sister's question, trying to shake away her thoughts on Hiei.
The trio made their way into the temple, completely unsuspecting of what was inside.
"Master Zoran, Sir, the girls have made it into the temple. We weren't able to stop them."
A demonic looking hand rose to silence the speaking soldier, "Yes, I know that already. But why were you unable to stop them. There was an entire unit that I sent out to capture two.. little.. girls. You can't handle two little girls?"
"Well Sir, we did catch them, but then we were ambushed, by a fire demon. He seems to be traveling with them. And, he's quite the nuisance. If it weren't for him we'd have the girls by now. I..think I heard one of them call him Hiei."
"...Could it be? Hiei..The Forbidden Child? My brother's son..."
A/N: *GASP * WHAT'S THIS??? THE EVIL PSYCHO MAGICIAN GUY ZORAN IS HIEI'S UNCLE?!?!?!?! XD ok I'm getting carried away again...R&R!!!!!!
