~ Dark Takeover: Chapter 13 ~
Aklyis starred at the darkening sky thinking of what happened earlier. 'Tamoro...strange guy, but charming, I guess. Hiei doesn't seem to like him very much though,' the brunette thought to herself as she turned her head slightly to gaze at the scowling fire demon. He was being unusually quiet, and seemed to be in a deep self-conflict of some sort.
'Tonight, when they fall asleep, I'll just cut their throats. Why am I trying to be so conservative? I could just slaughter them now. Urgh, this is so complicated, but why?' Hiei scowled to himself trying to think up an affective method to murder his accomplices
"Heyyyyy Aki......so what did you think of that cute blonde back there huh?" Miya chirped nudging her sister, snapping her out of her deep thoughts.
"Huh? Oh......I don't really like him....he tries too hard."
"Awwww......but I like that...he really likes you, you know."
"Well I don't like him," Aklyis stated becoming slightly annoyed, "he's a womanizer."
Miya shrugged, "I guess so, but that can change. You never know. I mean he was really nice to support our mission. And he even gave us directions to the next temple."
"Yeah, I guess you're right. But speaking of the next temple...aren't we still pretty far?"
Nodding the short raven-haired girl sighed, "Yes, the Terra temple is pretty isolated. We'll probably get there tomorrow afternoon."
Both girls groaned at the thought, "That means we'll have to camp...."
~~~~ Later that night ~~~~
Hiei sat, isolated from his two companions. His head hung low, black messy bangs covering his eyes. His lips were in the form of a tight line, and every now and then his hand would twitch. 'It's time....I have to free myself.' Slowly, Hiei drew his katana, the silver blade shining in the moonlight. He leapt off the tree and shakily made his way towards the two peacefully sleeping figures on the ground. He walked so quietly not even a cat would have been awoken. The moon reflected off his weapon as he traced Aklyis' soft face with the edge of the blade. She seemed so peaceful, and innocent. The wind blowing softly through her hair, her chest rising and falling with every breath. She had no idea what Hiei was about to do. She would never know. Suddenly a disgusting feeling came to the pit of the fire demon's stomach as he felt the bile rise to his throat, 'I....I can't do this,' He said to himself in shock. Hiei was beginning to really become concerned with himself. After all the killing he had done in his life, he could kill a girl, sleeping, completely pathetic and defenseless. But, that was just it. She was...pathetic, and defenseless. Something about this made the fire demon's heart flip. There was someone out there just like him. Slowly retreating his katana, and sheathing it, the fire demon took one last glance at the beautiful human girl, before turning around to leave. As he took his first step, a soft familiar voice calling his name paralyzed him instantly.
"Hiei?"
It was Aklyis.
"Yes?" Hiei answered shakily.
"Is something wrong?" the sleepy girl asked groggily.
Hiei paused for a moment before answering, "Nothing."
"Ok....Hiei....why are you following me and my sister? I thought you hated humans." Aklyis asked, images of the fire demon's sad past flooding her mind.
Once again, the raven-haired boy was speechless, "I....I wanted...I wanted to face Zoran again, after I realized it was my uncle after you. I want to experience the power, and take my revenge."
"Well....I guess that's good enough."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Lord Zoran, how can you believe that after all the pain you have caused this fire demon, that he will join you." A skeptical servant asked.
"It is simple, we are family. The boy lusts power, just as I do. He takes pleasure in destruction and bloodshed. It is demon nature, and my own. He will join me, and fall into the dark endless abyss of my world."
"I will do all I can, Master."
"Good. One more reason for the boy's retrieval. I need those sacred gemstones. Those kids that my nephew travels with have two of them, and they are already heading for the third. With Hiei joining us, we can take those stones easily. Once we have all six of them. It will only be a matter of days before this entire world is mine."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Finally, the Terra temple. Hey let's go inside," Miya said, not so chirpily after walking for miles.
Approaching the door, Miya prepared to open it, but before her hand reached it, both large sandstone doors burst open as a very frantic looking person stumbled out running into Miya, taking her down in the process. The very panicky looking fellow screamed as he jumped backwards, dropping something in the process. It was a turquoise diamond shaped jewel, embedded in a silver sphere.
"The Terra Jewel!" Miya screeched as she launched herself at it. Mr. Panic seeing this, jumped at her trying to retrieve his lost possession, but not before Aklyis had grabbed the collar of his shirt, and yanked him backwards.
"What do you want with the Terra Jewel?" Aklyis growled out through gritted teeth.
The man's eyes were bloodshot as he began to talk quickly and inconsistently, "No, n-n- NO!! I won't let you destroy the world!!! Someone has to destroy it!! AHHH!!!!!"
But before the man could continue screaming, he suffered a mighty blow to the head from a very irritated Hiei. Falling silent on the ground with a thud, the man was finally shut up.
"Let's go." Hiei stated firmly, his ears still ringing from the infernal screeching of the now unconscious man.
"Yes, Sir!" both Aklyis and Miya shouted in unison.
"So, Aki, do you remember what happens when the stones are all joined together?" Miya asked.
"Well....from what I've heard sis, once you have all six stones, there's this ritual that is performed to sort of.....resurrect the priestesses. And once they are resurrected they owe their lives to you. So basically they are your servants for the rest of your life. They say that, if resurrected by a good, pure-hearted person, the priestesses will serve as good, kind rulers that promote justice and peace, and keep the land in good shape for the people. But if resurrected by an evil person, with cruel intentions, the priestesses will become minions of this person. And carry out awful deeds to cause pain, and suffering. They will destroy the world, and all values and morals along with it."
Miya blinked. "Wow....so we really gotta get those before Zoran does huh?"
Aklyis nodded, "Yes, and we also need to find out what this ritual thing is. Because once we resurrect them, our will cannot be changed. So there's no chance of Zoran getting hold of them."
"But, we don't know the ritual."
"No, we don't. But I heard it involves giving some of the blood of the person resurrecting in order to inform the priestesses who is their true master. They knows by the blood, who they serve, and what their will is."
"Very true, but it won't be your will little girl!" A cruel mocking voice stated.
The three teens looked up to see a group of Zoran's minions infront of them ready for another battle to the death.
