SIDE NOTE: I wonder why I bother italicizing the words "side note." I mean, honestly, the italicizing doesn't show up! *sighs* Oh well. I know you've been waiting to hear what happened to Hiei. ^_^ I've had this idea written down for a while on a piece of paper, but this time, just to torture you, I've decided to purposely not update. ^_^ You may throw rotten fruit at me if you think it best! *gets rotten fruit thrown at her*
Hiei groaned as sunlight hit his face. He rolled over lazily, swatting at the air as though trying to bat away the sunlight. A moment later he remembered what had happened with the dragon and he instantly sat up, looking at his arm. The dragon imprint didn't seem to be there... 'Shimmata!'
The dragon was free, and since its master hadn't been conscious to give it any orders, it would most likely have gone on a rampage and killed everything in sight. That's how the dragon worked... Hiei couldn't just tell it to sit and stay. He had to tell it who to kill, and he had to do it immediately or the dragon would become impatient and start doing what it did best: destroying. Like he'd told Zeru before the blonde demon's demise, it was impossible to control the creature completely.
'K'so! What if it killed Yukina?! I'd never forgive myself! K'so! K'so! K'so!' His mental curses transferred to out loud cursing. Something rustled the trees above him, obviously having heard his string of curses. It took him a moment to realize that the air around him had gotten warmer.
"Halt, you! You're under arrest for trespassing in our realm!"
Hiei looked up. "What the hell...?"
Two women atop two large, blazing crimson dragons glared down at him with brilliant yellow eyes. The dragons' gazes were equal to that of their riders. "You're coming with us, trespasser!"
"Trespasser?" Hiei snarled at his two accusers. "I've trespassed on no one's land! You lie; this is not your property!"
"Oh, yeah?" one of the women, this one with long black hair pulled back. She pulled out a badge with an unfamiliar symbol. "We are Dragon Realm Police Officials! And you have trespassed in our realm! According to our law, all trespassers must be taken to the queen to have their punishment decided!"
"Dragon Realm, you say?" Hiei smirked. "Hmm... then I guess I have accomplished what I first set out to fulfill. However, I'm afraid I did not get here on my own, so I don't think you can count that as trespassing."
"It doesn't matter!" the other woman said, this one with short brown hair. "You still had the intention to come here, whether or not you were brought here on your own. You are still a trespasser. You need to come with us."
"I will go nowhere with you. You cannot force me."
"Resisting arrest? Fine!" the black- haired one raised her hand. The brunette mimicked her. The two dragons reared their heads and spat out two silver orbs that crackled with energy. This intrigued Hiei, for most dragons he heard about spat fire.
The orbs drew closer and closer to him. Sensing that these orbs would probably attack him, Hiei decided to attack them first. He fired his mortal flame, but received a shocking surprise. The orbs shot his own energy back at him, sending it rolling painfully through his body. Then, while he was partially paralyzed, the orbs wrapped him in strong cords and held him suspended between them.
The black- haired woman smirked. "NOW, trespasser, you will come with us."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hiei knelt in front of a throne, upon which another yellow- eyed woman sat. Her hair was short, silky, and blonde. She had a slender neck and a white kimono patterned with cherry blossoms. On her lap and under her long slim fingers was a small green dragon with silver eyes. It stared at Hiei almost mockingly, swishing its tail all the while. At the queen's side, gazing at Hiei with a desiring look in her eyes was a girl with bronze- colored hair. Her eyes were also yellow, but unlike the others, her eyes were more cat- like than like a reptiles'. Not to mention she had black cat ears poking out of her hair and a black tail that flicked back and forth underneath her blue kimono. She leaned against the arm of the throne as the queen began to interrogate him.
"I understand you are the trespasser that has somehow managed to enter our realm," the queen stroked the dragon on her lap as she spoke. "I cannot allow trespassers. However, I am merciful, so I will allow you to explain why you intended to come here in the first place. If your reasoning is good enough, I will let you escape without punishment, and you may go back to where you belong. Do we have a deal?" Silence. "Answer me, trespasser! Who are you?!" Still, Hiei said nothing.
"Your highness, Miss Kanne," the bronze- haired kitten girl spoke up. "I believe the trespasser would better be able to answer if you removed the muzzle."
The queen looked blankly at the silver muzzle clamped over Hiei's mouth. Her face turned pink. "Oh... yes. Remove the muzzle, if you please."
"Yes ma'am," the girl stretched out her somewhat bony, clawed hands and removed the muzzle without leaving a single scratch on Hiei's face. The queen cleared her throat and tried again.
"Alright... NOW, trespasser, tell me who you are and why you intended to come here."
"Hn. I won't lie to you. My name is Hiei and I intended to come here only because no one else has managed to get here."
The queen scratched under her dragon's chin, narrowing her eyes. "I see. Trying to prove something, were we?"
"No. Once again, I'll be honest. I like to accomplish seemingly impossible things."
"I see. Well, now, as for your punishment..."
"Queen Kanne," the kitten girl spoke up again. "This trespasser has just explained everything to you honestly. With all due respect, I don't think punishing him would be fair."
"Well, he still trespassed in our realm," the queen blinked as though this cat- girl were saying something stupid. "That's breaking a law, right?"
"But you just told him that you would not press charges if you found his explanations reasonable, and they sound reasonable enough to me. It doesn't sound like he had intended to do anything once he got here," she looked over at Hiei. "Am I correct in saying so?"
Hiei nodded. "Yes."
The girl turned back to her queen. "You see, your highness? This man means us no harm."
"Well, I wouldn't necessarily say that," Hiei glared at the bronze- haired girl. "After all, your police dragged me here against my will when I obviously did no wrong."
"You're an idiot to say that in your position," the queen stated.
"Excuse me, but the police were doing their job," the cat- girl's clawed fingers reached out again and left a small scratch on Hiei's face. "You have no right to do anything to us, especially in a position where we can do a lot more to you."
Hiei smirked. "You just try it. I happen to be the master of the black dragon. Even in this position I could kill you all in mere seconds."
Everyone in the room grew silent. The queen's eyes widened. "You are the master of our black dragon? Oh my... well, why didn't you say so before? Um... uh... I'm not sure what I'm doing, now..."
"May I suggest that you have the guards bring in the creature?" the cat girl drew back from Hiei to look at the queen. "It's been roaring something dreadful since it came back."
The queen, having already asked her guards to fetch the dragon, looked apologetically at Hiei. "You must forgive me, Sir, um... was it Hiei...? Yes, forgive me, please. Hebidoshi, will you untie him?"
The girl nodded. "Yes, of course, your highness." She unwrapped the cords from around Hiei's arms. He took a moment to stretch them before standing. Hebidoshi bowed before him, still knelt on her knees. "We have not seen the dragon since you mastered it. When it returned to our realm, we were afraid that something had happened to its master." She straightened up. "Forgive us. No one before you has ever managed to find this realm. We did not expect you here."
"Whatever. Just get up. I don't believe in bowing before another."
Hebidoshi stood. The queen cleared her throat. "Well, Sir Hiei, you are welcome to stay here as long as you wish. As soon as the black dragon is returned to its rightful place, Hebidoshi will escort you to her home. That is where you will stay."
"Excuse me?!" Hebidoshi turned and stared disbelievingly at her queen. "You can't be serious, your highness!"
"I am. Your estate is larger than that of any of my other subjects. In fact..." the queen tapped her chin. "I think it's the largest estate in this whole realm, aside from my castle."
"Exactly my point! Can he not stay in the castle?"
"Of course not! That's totally unheard of!" the queen blushed. "My subjects may get the idea that... well..."
"So you'd rather a rumor like THAT get pinned on me?! Sister, please... I mean... highness..."
"No buts, Hebi- chan! I need to keep my reputation, you know!" as these words were said, a roaring wall of fire entered the room and spiraled around Hiei's arm. He quickly pulled some bandages from his coat and wrapped it around it. A spell was then placed over the knuckles.
"Okay, now get moving!" Kanne made a shooing motion with her hands. "I have some queenly stuff to do!"
"Don't call me Hebi- chan!" The bronze- haired girl, fuming, headed out of the castle, motioning for Hiei to come with her. Hiei smirked and followed. He saw a great opportunity to push the kitten girl's buttons.
"So, Hebi- chan, I take it the queen was your sister?"
"Don't call me Hebi- chan," the girl snapped.
"Now, now, it was a simple question, Hebi- chan."
"Don't call me that and I'll answer it."
"Answer it now," Hiei grabbed her arm. "Or I'll break your arm."
Hebidoshi rolled her eyes. "Is destruction the way you solve ALL your problems? Well... it's not surprising. I suppose he who can control such a destructive creature as the black dragon would have only that in mind. I will not answer your question."
Hiei blinked in surprise. "You're not afraid of my threat?"
"No. After all, if you break my arm and I still won't answer your question, what will you do next? Perhaps you will continue breaking every bone in my body until I die, and then your question will never have been answered, correct?"
"I've never thought of it that way."
"That's because you were too arrogant to take it into consideration."
"Fine," Hiei let go of her arm, disappointed that she had somehow pushed his buttons more than he had pushed hers. "NOW will you answer my question, Hebidoshi?"
"Well, yes, now that you asked politely," Hebidoshi smirked. "Actually, Kanne and I are half- sisters. She's the elder, so of course she became queen. Anyway, our father was a fire demon, a real ladies man and a player of women. Neither of us has any respect for him, but that's the only thing we have in common. Her mother, like most of the demons who live in this realm, was a dragon demon. My mother was a cat demon. Now she basically lives her life in charge. And she really enjoys bossing ME, especially, around. I've been her little PET for five years..."
"It suits you," Hiei smirked, tugging at her ears. "You look much like a common little housecat, Hebi- chan."
"Don't call me that," Hebidoshi rolled her eyes. "Besides, I only mean to say that I hate being seen as my sister's pet... but when it comes to anyone else..." She purred, gripping Hiei's shoulders and nuzzling his neck, making his throat rumble with her purrs. "... I never said I minded anyone else."
"What... what..." Hiei's crimson eyes widened. He shoved the girl off him, his heart pounding unexpectedly. "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"
Hebidoshi laughed, her shimmering hair swishing around as her body shook with laughter. "You should see the look on your face! It's so funny!"
Hiei grabbed her shoulders, but in a more angry manner. "What the hell was that for?! It obviously wasn't meant to amuse me, because I'M NOT LAUGHING!!"
Hebidoshi tried to speak, gasping out her words between giggles. "I- I'm sorry, b- but I h- had to see how y- you'd react... it's just... so funny... because you're BRIGHT RED!" And then she collapsed back into a fit of giggles. Hiei felt his face burning with embarrassment and turned the color of a beet. This only proved to make Hebidoshi laugh harder.
"Why... you..." Hiei's fists clenched. "I'm going to KILL you!"
Hebidoshi "eep"ed and started to run. "Catch me if you can!" Needless to say, Hiei angrily started to chase her.
SIDE NOTE: Once again, I'm pointlessly italicizing the words "side note." Can someone help me with that? You know, like, tell me how to italicize words? 'Cause it's driving me nuts! I didn't want ot be rude and just come out and ask like that, but it's been REALLY driving me crazy... Well, I leave you here with story. Please review (oh, and from now on, I won't say "but no meanie bean stuff." I've just been saying that because I think meanie bean is fun to say)!
SIDE NOTE: I wonder why I bother italicizing the words "side note." I mean, honestly, the italicizing doesn't show up! *sighs* Oh well.
