Part 6
Last time…
He concentrated; he spied on Mukuro and learned of her plan. After the meeting she went to bed. Hiei signed 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.
The ground was white and snow was falling.
"Are you cold?"
The boy was startled when the silence was broken. He looked at Hiei. "No I'm fine. Have you switched with Ceibi?"
"No, I have the watch."
"Oh ok…what have you been doing?" the boy asked trying to fill the silence.
"I was watching Mukuro but she went to bed about an hour ago."
"Watch her sleep."
Hiei now glared at the boy. "I'm not that kind of demon." He raised his voice just a little.
"Ok I'm sorry" the boy said as he yawned.
"You should go back to sleep…at least till dawn."
The boy nodded and went back to sleep. A few more hours and the same boy awoke. He sat up and watched Hiei in silence.
A huge demon came stomping through the trees and into the clearing. Hiei made a gesture with his hands and there was a large explosion. The demon was blown into little bits that went flying through the air. Hiei put up a barrier so that nothing would hit them.
"Wow! That was awesome!"
Hiei looked at the boy; he had a slight smile on his face. Hiei blinked over to where the explosion had taken place and created another bomb in his hand. He then dug a different hole and stuck it in and covered it lightly with some snow and returned.
"Mukuro is sending an army..." he paused to estimate. "…I would say about 200 and I only have enough traps to kill no more than 110." Hiei said looking around at the trees.
The boy stared at Hiei wide eyed. "You can take 90 right?"
Hiei walked over to a tree and looked up. He thought for a moment then jumped up onto it. Hiei was high up in the tree when he made another bomb type thing. He said a chant and it started to hover in mid air. The fire youkai jumped down and did the same with the other trees surrounding the area.
Hiei was in the last tree finishing up when his foot slipped and he started to fall. He hit the ground hard, lying on his back.
"Hiei!" The boy ran over to him then noticed the bomb falling as well. He grabbed a huge stick and knocked it away. Then he knelt down beside Hiei. "Hiei! Are you ok? Hiei?" The boy looked at Hiei's bloody face. Blood was running from his Jagan, mouth and nose.
Hiei groaned and opened his eyes; he sat up quickly and looked up. "The bomb…"
"I took care of it" The boy said.
Hiei sat there for a few minutes on his knees then started to violently cough up blood. The snow was stained maroon but he stood none the less and jumped back into the tree and finished with the trap.
He collapsed on the branch; he was breathing hard and was tired. His energy was almost gone. Noises came as Mukuro's army appeared all around them. The boy stepped back as the demons advanced past Hiei's bombs.
Hiei made the same gesture as before and blew some of the demons up. He made another gesture and arrows were shot at the army. He made a third gesture and all the bombs fell from the trees and destroyed all but 20 demons.
They gathered into a group and walked forward and stopped under the tree the black clad boy was in.
"Hiei's little tricks…" the leader started. "...did you think you could kill me with those?" He laughed. "He used to place them around the palace to train us…but these are much more deadly. Hiei is serious."
Hiei pulled his katana out and got ready to jump, but before he could he coughed again, the demons looked up. Hiei jumped, landing on three. He laid there for a minute then heaved himself up. He charged and killed five more demons.
The leader stepped forwards and moved fast, he stabbed Hiei through the stomach then punched him in the face. Hiei fell back letting his sword slip through his fingers and dropping on the ground.
The demon picked it up and looked Hiei over. "You look like someone has already beaten you."
The demons laughed.
Hiei stood back up and ran at them. The demon raised his sword.
"Hiei no!" The boy yelled but it was too late.
Hiei ran right into the sword and screamed. The demon twisted the sword then threw him to the ground. The boy couldn't stand it any longer; he went to wake Ceibi but hit a barrier and was knocked back.
"Hiei must have put a barrier around them to keep them sleeping…am I right?" the demon asked looked down.
"Fuck you!"
The demon laughed at Hiei. "Even on your death bed you keep that tough guy attitude." He got an idea. "Try now"
The demon stabbed Hiei through his chest and leaned on it. He let out a low cry and his barrier dropped.
Everybody jumped up. "What the hell?" was the main thing said. Ceibi formed a fireball and was about to throw it.
"Nuh uh, unless you want me to stick this sword through Hiei's neck, I advise you against it." He put the tip of the katana right above his neck.
"No…Ceibi throw it! I'm going to die anyway so throw it! End it now!" Hiei whispered but they heard it.
"…but Hiei…" Ceibi hesitated but threw the fireball.
It hit the demon and he turned into ashes. The sword went into Hiei's neck but Yusuke caught and pulled it out before it got too far. He threw the sword down and picked Hiei up. Yusuke carried him away from the demons that were still alive. Yusuke blinked the dying boy to the temple.
"Yusuke…" Hiei whispered and closed his eyes.
Kuwabara ran forwards. "No! Hiei!" He took him out of Yusuke's arms and cradled the small boy. "Please Hiei…you're the only one I have left! Don't die!"
Tears came to his eyes.
Hiei looked up at Kuwabara.
"...kill Mukuro for me…" Hiei's eyes rolled and his body went limb.
Thats it...Hiei finally died in one of my stories! Anyways this is the LAST CHAPTER. I had thought of continuing it but I wrote this about a year ago and just now getting around to posting it so its long been erased from my memory banks.
