Elves Are More Trouble Than They're Worth Chapter 6

Rune had found a portal to the human world and ran through it. One he was out he began running down the streets, not really knowing where his feet were taking him. All he knew was that he had to get as far away from his friends as he could.

Suddenly he ran into someone, but before he could fall that someone grabbed his arm. As he began to breath normal again he saw who it was that had stopped his fall. Standing in front of him, hand still on his arm, was the black haired boy that would have fought Hiei. Rune tried to remember what his name was, but couldn't at the moment.

Rune suddenly felt a wave of pain through his mind. A lost memory suddenly ran across his eyes.

~*~He was standing on the roof of a tall castle with the black haired boy standing in front of him. He had an evil smirk on his face and power was radiating from him. Rune could only feel pain and confusion, and he knew this boy was causing both.

'I've tried to kill you so many times before, but every time I seized the upper hand, someone stepped in to save you.'

'You're..." Rune's sentence trailed off as the memory faded.~*~ (1)

"Rune are you alright?" the boy asked him, his eyes full of concern.

Rune looked fearfully up at him. "Get away from me!" he yelled suddenly pushing Rath away from him.

"Rune..."

"I remember now. You tried to steal my power and kill me!" Rune said, backing away from Rath.

"Rune, I..." Rath said as he began to walk toward the frighten elf. He stopped suddenly when he felt a sword at his throat.

"I knew you were going to be a problem," a voice growled. Both Rune and Rath turned to see who was holding the sword. Standing there was Hiei, his eyes clearly spoke of murder.

*****

Kurama suddenly felt Hiei enter his mind. 'Kurama, get down here. I found Rune, but it seems we might have run into a little trouble.'

Kurama took off; following the directions Hiei had given him.

On the way he met Yusuke, Kuwabara, Jin, and Touya. The latter two had been sent by Koenma to help them search for Rune.

*****

Lykouleon and the others had noticed that was missing a while ago. They were trying to find him, but so far it was useless. When they heard shouting though, they ran toward it and saw Rath and Hiei both had their swords drawn and were trying to kill each other.

At this time five other figures ran out of an alleyway toward Rune.

"Hurry, we have to get to Rune!" Lykouleon said when he saw that the others were taking the elf away from the fight.

******

As soon as they got to the street which Hiei and Rath were fighting on, Kurama ran to Rune.

"Rune, are you alright?" Kurama asked, worry written clearly in his voice, and concern in his eyes. Rune nodded silently, eyes still upon the two other fighters.

"Jin, Touya, get him out of here. We'll take care of those troublemakers," Yusuke said jerking his head toward the other dragon members.

"Right," Touya said grabbing Rune's arm, and helping him up.

When they were gone, Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara turned toward the dragons that were trying to run after Rune.

"I don't think so," Yusuke growled.

Yusuke paired off with Tetheus. Kurama fought with Lykouleon, and Kuwabara glared at Thatz. (Wonder who's going to win that one.) Ruwalk was nowhere in sight.

*****

Rune, Jin, and Touya ran down the silent streets. Little did they know that they were being followed. Ruwalk had managed to escape from the spirit detectives.

He stopped short when he saw that Rune and the others had stopped as well, and the reason wasn't one he really wanted to face.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

See, you not only get a fight between Hiei and Rath, but Yusuke and Tetheus, Kurama and Lykouleon, and Thatz and Kuwabara.
