Hiei In Wonderland

Chapter 3: Riddles for Hiei

Hiei continued to walk across the field until he came upon some woods. It was possible that he could find way out through there. He looked around, seeing no where else to go, then entered the ever-so-dark woods.

The forest was full of noises that seemed to come from nowhere. Hiei glanced around for anything that could help him. Another person. Preferably more useful and informative than the people at the party, or even another animal. It seemed like an endless forest, where he could find no way out. Traveling through the thick green and dark brown thicket of trees, he came across a purple boulder. The boulder started to change into a variety of shapes and Hiei quickly drew his sword and ignited it with a blue and flame of spirit energy.

"Good day," it told him. "What are you?" Hiei asked. "What are you?" It responded. Hiei figured something like this would happen. He had prepared an answer for just this.

"I am 35 liters of water, 25kg of carbon, 4 liters of Ammonia, 1.5 kg of lime, 800 grams of phosphorous, 250 grams of salt, 100 grams of saltpeter, 80 grams of sulfur, 7.5 grams of fluorine, 5 grams of iron, 3 grams of silicon, and another 15 other elements. Now what are you?" Hiei chose question because the cat could obviously shape-shift. He would have to give a different answer.

Silence.

"Yes…?" Hiei urged. The cat sat there, staring directly into Hiei's eye's. It was unnerving. Hiei tried to stare back. The pressure filled the room as the two stared each other down. It was an old fashion coy-boy show down. First to blink would loose. They would loose all the honor they had worked up for. It would be a glorious battle of wits, strength, and tears. The battle continued with pressure. Oh the pressure!

The cat yawned.

Hiei yawned.

The cat yawned again.

Hiei yawned again, almost closing his eyes as he did.

The cat yawned even louder. Hiei almost blinked again as he yawned.

This damn cat isn't playing fair! Hiei thought to himself. He decided to use some of his own tricks. He started waving the bright sword in the cats face, waiting for the cat to blink. His eyes were burning. Burning!

Hiei blinked.

The cat laughed and mocked Hiei, only making Hiei angrier. Hiei slashed down upon the cat, who shifted to the side, back into a purple rock. Hiei remembered how he tried to fight with the mole. As much as he hated to admit it, these insane creatures were stronger. He could only get his answers one way. He would have to befriend them…somehow.

Hiei was never good at making friends. He preferred being alone. To him the only conceivable reason to make friends was to get information. Hiei could either bash people until they fussed up, or befriend them. Bash, befriend. Befriend, bash. Hiei seemed to lean a bit more over to the bashing. So he tried something he had never done before.

"Hi what's you're name?" Hiei said with a big smile. He looked like an evil murderer, asking his victim how to be killed. He had to admit, once again, that he had asked that many more times than he had smiled. This is going to take some practice. Hiei thought.

"I am the Cheshire cat. You come for a way out, yes?"

"How did you know that…Never mind. Do you know how I can get out?"

"Get out of where?"

"This damn place."

"So how do you plan to do that?"

"I thought you knew how to."

"If you want to get out, you must first get in."

……"Yes?" Hiei knew this wouldn't get anywhere. Either he had to find a new person, or solve these riddles. He would try a bit before he left in search of a stupider being. The stupider, the less riddles.

'In where?"

"That you must find out on your own. Or you will find out with someone, perhaps?" the cat turned back into a purple rock and remained silent. That was all Hiei was going to get out of him. He started to walk through the forest again, thinking about the cat's riddles. At least he knew he would have some help. Or did the cat mean he wouldn't have help? Or did he mean he would have help getting in? Or did he already have help getting into the weird place. Or-. Hiei was sick of thinking. He decided to take a nap and stop thinking for a bit.

YEA! People read this. Thanks for the people who read this "saga." I'll try and make chapters longer and perhaps funnier. I've got a whole story planned out so I hope you enjoy Hiei in Wonderland.
