Author's Note: I should give an update as to what is going on in the story, but you should have read by now...but what the heck. Well Hiei has found his even match in a battle for desire and power, and now he has given into his desires. Little does he or the woman know that their desire could lead to the end of both worlds?
Chapter VII: Relentless
Alone Kurama sat with the lifeless body of Koi Tenshi, the friend of the woman that killed her. Anger along with sorrow filled the aged kitsune. He was so worried about Hiei, and was even more worried about what Amatera was going to do him once she found them.
He brought his hand across Koi's face once again, and lightly brushed away the loose hair that the light breeze kept blowing into her hair. Her silver hair smelled so sweet to his demon senses. The smell of the forest engulfed her very being, and that intensified his pain even more for failing her.
As he continued to stare at her lifeless face a sudden change in the air emerged and surrounded Koi and himself. The air and scent was very familiar to him. Then the heightened winds died down in an instant.
"I wonder what that was?" he questioned himself.
Then he could hear it; the sound of breathing. Looking down he found the source of breathing, and it was coming from Koi.
"Koi! You are alive," he said excitingly.
Slowly Koi opened her eyes to the human Kurama, but she never moved. Obviously she was exhausted from surviving the attack from Hiei and Saya.
"You can tell me all later what happened, and I promise to tell you my little secret to survival," was all she could muster.
"Alright," he replied holding her now in his arms while laughing and crying at once.
Amatera could sense the presence of the dragon not to far away. She had found herself in a small village of low class demons, and now she stood in front of an abandoned building. The scent of Hiei and Saya were potent, and Ama knew they were not expecting her.
Ama was hiding her scent masked for not even the dragon to notice her. She quietly walked through the grown over entrance and made her way up to the second floor gliding along the stairs. It was like an aura of darkness surrounded her feet as it helped her glide along the rotten wooden stairs. To keep her from walking on the stairs causing noises.
She found herself in front of the first door of the second floor looking into the room. There she found two bodies lying together in nakedness. One was a female while the other was a male. She knew right away it was Saya and Hiei. Furious anger built up inside of her as she witnessed them sleeping in perfect harmony together.
With sudden swiftness Ama rushed into the bedroom and threw the two apart quickly. She was able to hold Hiei down next to her with her sword she had drawn out as quickly as her movement. While Saya was thrown across the room from the two of them.
Saya was up in an instant with a stunned look upon her face. Hiei was being held down by Hiei at risk of getting his throat cut with Ama's sword.
"Get dressed Saya. You are coming with me back to the Spirit World," Ama began coldly.
Saya went to her clothes with worry upon her face.
She had to ask, "What about Hiei?"
Ama looked down to the demon that returned her cold look of death and replied, "He will be arrested most likely and charged. You will both be monitored for now. Until we can get an answer to our problem."
Letting Hiei up a little she motioned for him to his clothes, and she kept a close eye on him while he moved quietly from her.
"I know what happened. I can smell it in the air; all that has transpired. I can't risk letting you two go until we know for certain," Ama spoke up when the two finished dressing.
Hiei and Saya were now apart, and both just stared at Ama with a cold stare of anger.
"What ever do you mean?" Saya asked worryingly.
She replied quickly, "You might be with child now."
With that response Ama could feel the air change. She looked to Hiei and Saya, and found both were changing to her response. She knew the dragon was reacting to that, and was beginning to take over them both.
"Damn!"
Ama knew she couldn't risk losing Saya. As the two began to circle her with the intention of escaping Ama knew it was time to show these two young demons what she was capable of.
She closed her eyes to focus herself, and surround herself with the aura of life. This ability came from her mother; the only inheritance she was able to receive from her long extinct species. With this aura of life, of which she drew from all forms of life, a shining light grew from her hands. Almost like spirit energy, this power drew upon surrounding life.
With a sudden lighting move, Ama went after Saya with full force. With her two hands full of life energy from the surrounding area she was able to knock Saya out by throwing her against the wall while at the same time taking a large portion of her life energy; enough to knock her out. Of course Ama knew she would be hit by Hiei from behind right after that, and he did as she expected.
Unfortunately she was not able to react in time to his attack and his speed. She was hit from behind with his katana, and she fell to the floor from the blow. Although he failed in knocking her out. She came to the ground, but was instantly back up and out of his way. His speed was great, greater then hers, but she had experience on him.
He came at her again with intention this time killing her. Ama could see in his eyes the hate of the dragon for attacking Saya. She could only smile at this predicament.
"I can see within your eyes the hate that you have. Come at me if you really wish to seek vengeance young one."
With no reply but a cold stare Hiei came at Ama with death within his eyes. His lightning speed proved formidable to the aged wolf demon as he came at her with furious strikes. Of course she was able to dodge every attack barely, but she was playing with Hiei. It was obvious he would in the end stand no chance against her.
As he came down on upon her with his katana he was able to actually catch her off guard. He was able to slice into her right shoulder, and leave a deep gash in her shoulder. The wound was deep, but not fatal for a demon such as her. She moved away quickly from his attack, and thought now was the best time more than any.
She now stood in the window seal as the sun rose through the window. The early sun rays struck her body form, and seemed to empower her. It was quite an unusual site. A surge of a powerful aura surrounded her, and she seemed to glow with a light of unforeseen power. Her entire body glow the color of the sun.
Ama moved to Hiei with quickened speed, and her eyes glow a blood red. Now she was taking the offensive, and she was intending to end Hiei's life if she had to. He came at her with his katana once again, but she cleanly dodged the attack, and came under him with her strike. Her fists glowed, and a spiritual whip appeared in her hands. She wrapped it around Hiei's waist as she came from under him.
Now she had him tied down, and there was no escape as she threw him against the wall. From the blow Hiei dropped his sword, and he fell to the ground grunting as he landed.
"Now you know what I do to those that disobey. You could have brought about your own destruction by screwing my daughter," Ama said to a stunned Hiei.
Ama brought Hiei up with a brutal force and he was whipped up to the ceiling leaving a body dent. Hiei came back down, but before he landed he was thrown once again against a wall this time. He landed and fell to the ground once again. She had decided that Hiei had had enough, because he was out cold now.
She went up to Hiei with full intention of taking out his heart. As she approached him she brought her face close to his to smell the foul stench of sweat of Saya and his own from their love making. Her gaze finally was met with a pair of eyes that held two souls behind them. The next thing she realized was that Hiei was holding onto her waist with one hand and his other hand was gripping her hair tightly; keeping her close to him as he spoke.
"I should have known you would want me to stop since I left you," he began coldly.
"Sadly how I failed in containing you."
The possessed Hiei brought Ama closer to his face as he spoke again.
"Don't think I am the only one that works against you. I only desire my freedom. I am a demon in my own nature. You created me to kill your own father. I am born from hatred. I knew when I found Saya and Hiei; they were perfect."
Ama had nothing more to say to the dragon. So Hiei threw Ama back enough for him to jump to the window seal and break the window with his fist.
"Be warned in the future. I will not spare your life again," he ended quickly.
She was left alone with an unconscious Saya along with a failure fresh in her mind. With that she picked up Saya, and headed back to the Spirit World to get Saya safe. She had to make sure that what the two young demons did not have dire consequences.
