Unknown Part 5
Last time…
"We'll have to carry them." Hiei said as he grabbed Midi and put him over his shoulder.
"No Hiei, you're too weak." Ceibi stepped forwards.
"Ill be ok." He replied.
Ceibi nodded and picked Rio up. Two humans stepped forwards and picked up the other two.
They all began a tedious rove.
Abolished from Mukuro's territory and stuck in the Makai with a little bit of energy the group made their way to nowhere. The sky was bleak and even though it was still the afternoon it looked as though it was later. At least a few feet of snow covered the ground making it a laborious plod.
Hiei began to careen which cost him his equilibrium. He dropped to his knees and fell forward, his head hitting the ground and causing Midi to become airborne. The small demon landed a few feet in front of the fire youkai.
"I think we need to stop here" Ceibi said as he watched Hiei.
The two men carrying Minhuit and Zaine propped them against a tree, Ceibi did the same with Rio. Toushin grabbed Midi and laid him down next to the others. He then went back and helped Hiei sit up, but seeing as he couldn't hold himself up he dragged the boy and let him lean against a tree.
"Ill take the first watch." Ceibi said as he sat down.
"No" Hiei objected. "I will"
"Don't be absurd Hiei!" Ceibi said bluntly. "You can take the second."
Hiei didn't complain. He watched as everyone got settled for the night.
The silence was broken when a few humans started to converse. Hiei began to drift in and out of sleep and each time his head would fall just to have it abruptly risen again. Slumber claimed him as his head made one last attempt to rise but failed. Yusuke who was now back in his human form saw the way his friend was sleeping and walked over to him.
Ceibi raised an eyebrow "Don't mess with him he is sleeping."
"He will hurt his neck is he sleeps like that." Yusuke replied as he gently laid Hiei onto his side and pushed his legs closer to him.
Hiei let out a low moan and curled the rest of the way to form a tight ball.
A few hours passed and Yusuke had fallen asleep.
"I'm cold…Ceibi create a fire!" the humans complained and whined.
"No, it takes too much energy."
"I bet Hiei would!" a girl continued.
"Well you can ask him when I wake him. It's about time for his watch. I just hope he doesn't bite my head off!" Ceibi said as he got up and walked over to Hiei.
He knelt down and started to shake Hiei.
"Hiei, Hiei wake up"
Hiei groaned and stirred "What" he moaned
"Its time for your watch. Now open your eyes so I know you're awake."
Ceibi stood up and walked away.
"What about just an eye…"
Hiei opened his Jagan but kept his natural eyes closed. Some humans laughed when Hiei didn't actually get up and Ceibi stood back up.
"Hiei!" Ceibi hollered.
Hiei didn't answer right away but after a few seconds he jumped up.
"Can you sleep with that thing open?" Ceibi asked sitting back down.
"Sure I can't, I was spying on Mukuro."
"What was she doing?" Ceibi waited a reply anxiously.
"She was talking to a demon"
"What was she saying?"
"WAKE UP! That's what she was saying!"
Ceibi turned red. "Sorry Hiei, I thought you were going back to sleep."
"Hiei…I'm cold…"
Hiei turned around to face the small human that had said that. "So…I'm cold too." He replied and turned back.
"Could you make a fire?"
"Hn…Ceibi why couldn't you have made them one?"
"The wood was wet"
"You could have dried it" Hiei looked and saw his fellow demons way outside the vicinity. "What about them? I bet they're freezing"
Hiei walked over to the group and felt all the demons foreheads and cheeks. "They are freezing…"
Hiei touched Midi's chest causing it to glow and soon he moved to Minhuit. He did the samething to the other demons then stood back up and looked at them. He picked Midi up and placed him closer to the group and did the same with the others. He placed them in a half circle type form facing the humans who were in the same shape.
Hiei walked to the middle of both groups and turned two full circles before sitting down Indian style. He closed his eyes and remained quiet, then his body was engulfed in red flames.
"…but Hiei, doesn't that take a lot of energy?" Ceibi asked getting closer.
"No, not for me"
Ceibi watched him. "Is it because you have the Jagan? Cause it takes a lot for me."
Hiei closed his Jagan. "No it just doesn't take a lot of energy. Maybe you should train harder."
Ceibi said nothing but only laid down and curled up. "It's getting colder…"
"Yes. Its going to snow tonight," Hiei said calmly.
"How do you know?" Ceibi asked.
"Look at the sky…it's darker than usual." Hiei looked up at the sky then back down.
It got quiet as everyone settled down and eventually fell asleep. Hiei brought his flames down and sighed; he opened his Jagan and closed his natural eyes.
He concentrated; he spied on Mukuro and learned of her plan. After the meeting she went to bed. Hiei sighed but changed his gaze to the surrounding area. A little while passed and a small human boy woke up and watched the fire youkai. He moved closer to get warmer.
