Hiei had been looming demon world for a while. He had to applaud himself, though. He didn't think he would ever get back to demon world without Koenma's consent. Upon finding a small breech between the two worlds, he decided it was time he went back.
The fire demon had spent so much time in the humans' virgin forests, that the demon worlds' forest was the first place to visit on his list.The wind was perfect here. He stood in one spot to appreciate it. The wind's frigid fingers caressed his face and tenderly brushed his black, spiked hair. There was only one thing ruined this moment. A quick rustle amongst the trees was heard. His sword was unsheathed in a split second, as he turned, "Show yourself!" A chirping bird was the only response he got. He narrowed his crimson eyes in suspicion and he seemed to disappear and reappear on the tree branch the rustle had come from.
He glipsed a pair of pale, reddish-purple eyes under the hood of a cloak. The figure did a back flip out of the tree, and landed on his hands. Springing himself, he recoiled onto his feet only to find Hiei behind him and that upset his own balance. The figure dodged to the side as Hiei's sword slashed downward. Hiei's sword slashed the cloak in two revealing the him to be a her. She pulled her tattered cloak off and her eye seemed to be more like a glow than a color; as if her eyes were truly white rather than the pale, red-purple. "Haven't you heard not to bite off more than you can chew?" Hiei queried.
"That bastard Tharian sent you, did't he!?" She replied her eyes narrowed and her long raven-like hair was blown delicately by the wind...as if the wind was afraid to touch her. Her black hair had two silver strips that marked her a forbidden child. Her spirit energy seemed to increase as it glew a silver about her. She wore a dark purple, slightly baggy long-sleeve shirt, but Hiei could still see the burn marks that reached her knuckles. Though, what truly caught his eyes was the silver metal collar at her throat.
"I have no clue who this Tharian is. None the less, your blood will be spilt," Hiei replied coldly...perhaps more coldly than he wanted it to be. This demon-woman seemed to be a distant soul who had been chained to someone's bloody altar. He had only met her but something about her attracted him and he wanted to learn more.
"I know Tharian's men are liars! But at least they tell the truth about who they work for!" she yelled, perhaps above the vibrations from Hiei's unseen aura. She charged at him with her short sword drawn. Hiei reacted quickly and both swords clashed. Hiei loved the sound of the swords clashing. It excited him; the thrill of battle that is. The woman feinted to the side a few times as if to confuse Hiei, but he knew the moves to be only tricks and ignored the feints. Hiei left a tiny, almost unnnoticable, opening. The woman was as fluid as water and took the opening to draw dangerously close to him, instead of stabbing him; as if to say, "Ha. Ha. You lose." Her leg came around and kicked him hard in the side.Hiei fell sideways against a tree and slumped down.
The woman held her cold, blood-stained blade to his throat, "Any last...GWA!!" She dropped her blade as the silver collar gave an intense glow of white light. She gripped the collar in agony as she collasped to her knees. "Dammit..."
Hiei watched as the collar caused her pain, and the glow began to diminish, causing her less agony. He took this time to push her onto her back and place a foot onto her chest as if to sufficate her. "Seems that the tide has turned for the better." Hiei would have killed her and showed no remorse afterwards; but there was something about her that made him think differently about this death. It was probably because she did not scream for mercy; as if she was prepared to die.
As he looked into her eyes, he unconciously sent a telepathic message to her, that only spoke one word. The word was actually her name, Moira. The collar at her neck cracked, but did not shatter. She seemed surprised that the collar had did that. Hiei removed his foot and knelt down. He brought the hilt of his sword down onto the collar that was at the curve of her neck. Her eyes widened in surprise, and then close into unconciousness. The collar fell to the ground as it shattered. Hiei narrowed his eyes looking at her.
He quickly patted her down, finding two hidden daggers, a pouch full of viles that contained poison, a buckler blade, and took her sword. Hiei watched as her chest heaved up and down in, almost, uneven breaths. Her hair laid unneatly over her shoulders and face and her black hair was matted in dirt. After an hour he watch her become uneasy.
"No!! STOP!" She began to mutter in her sleep, as her head thrashed to one side. She began to scream in agony at something in her dream. Hiei watched her for a while. He wondered what could make her have nightmares like that. Hiei began to gentley shake her shoulders. He had not been prepared to be slammed in the nose with her forehead when she awoke. Hiei instinctively drew back, holding his nose. He sneered, "You give away your weakness even in sleep."
"Hmph! What do you know?! You are just a lap monkey for Tharian," She replied her hand went instictively to her hip only to find her sword missing. The sword had been from her mother and the only thing she used as a momento of her mother. She growled, "Where are my weapons!?"
"Hn," was Hiei's reply and looked at her. There was no way he was going to give her a weapon if she was going to attack him.
Her eyes were narrow and as she stepped back, her fingers touched her neck. "And how did you do that? How did you know my name?"
"Hn." His eyes stayed on her. He had no idea on how he knew her name. The name had came to his mind and thats all he knew.
"You have freed me from that Tharian put on me." She looked at Hiei as if she was the tigeress.
"Which must mean I don't work for Tharian," He countered, crossing his arms.
"Fine then. I'll believe you do not work for Tharian," She replied, "Now give my sword back or I'll slit your throat."
"Hn. A bold threat when you are disarmed," He replied as he disappeared and reappeared behind her a blade at her throat, "Especially when one is skilled enough to kill you in a heart beat."
She didn't reply. Moira, as Hiei had called her, stood there. A faint rustling and orders to catch Moira could be heard in the background. Hiei sneered, and took the blade off her throat. He knew those were the real demons after her. "Come with me if you want to live," Hiei said it in a more commanding tone, than a requestful tone.
Moira was quick to oblige. Hiei tossed her back her weapons. Just as she finished strapping her weapons back on he grabbed her wrist and began to walk fast, not even sparing her a glance.
