Chapter 9 ...The Walk
Wherever Kurama and Hiei ventured to.
The two demons have managed to find some interesting places in the palace. So far they have not gotten lost looking around the castle. Mainly they haven't talked either thinking if the others have already gotten lost, because of all the hallways and doors. Finally after five minutes of this Kurama starts to talk.
"This place is very joyful," Trying to see if he could brighten the mood.
"It's kind of strange though," Hiei responded looking out the windows they were passing.
"What do you mean by that?" Kurama questioned. 'Really what on earth would be strange about this place? It's more calming than strange.'
"Well I you did see that there are demons here in the castle, and obviously there are more demons outside these palace doors."
"Yes, and what about it?"
"But have you even seen at any place here that we've pasted of any signs of demon attacks. Yet even when we come here they show that they're some what afraid of us."
"Well maybe they just aren't use to having demons like us around sense we do give off a power source, and anyways we're from another dimension."
"Yeah I get your point, but also there hasn't been anyone passing us in the halls. We've been walking for so long, and not any sign of another person being in this hall, or any other in fact."
"I see where your getting that at, but they could have been called for something important."
"Yeah like what?"
"Well they could have needed to get something ready for visitors or something like that." 'In a matter of fact they could be getting something ready for dinner it is noon any way.'
"Humph, that's hard to believe. If you ask me I think they just say they hate demons for the heck of it."
"I would agree with you on that if it wasn't for the fact Samara's one of them, and she doesn't seem to hate us at all."
"Are you sure about that? She didn't seem that she liked us when you caught her."
"And you didn't like Yusuke when he beat you, and brought you to Koenma. Yet now both of you are friends."
'I hate it when he finally beats me at that, but why is he standing up for Samara all of a sudden. It's not like they have been friends for a long time like me and him,' Hiei thought running into the person who just came down the hall.
"Sorry about that I wasn't paying attention," The person said.
When Kurama and Hiei looked at the person they knew it was a demon. It was a young boy who looked about the age of 13 or 14. He had short blue hair with a horn coming from an angle. He wore a white jacket with a buckle in the front, and a black shirt. He also wore black pants, boots with strange buckles on them. He wore a belt that looked kind of metallic with dots on it, and four matching leg things (I don't know what they are sorry) at the bottom of his pants near his boots. (Do you know who this is?)
"It's alright," Was all that Hiei had to say then started walking.
Soon the boy looked up, and at the two asking, "Are you guys new here?"
"I guess you could say that," Kurama replied.
"Well then my name's Zoma. What's yours?" Asked Zoma.
"Well mine is Kurama, and his name is Hiei," Kurama said pointing towards his friend.
"Hey Kurama," Hiei said abruptly.
"What is it Hiei?"
"Didn't that girl Cesia say to Samara that she was looking for someone named Zoma?"
"Yes I think your right. Zoma, would you know why?" Kurama asked looking towards the boy.
"I'm not really sure, but I guess I should go find her if she's looking for me," Zoma replied starting to walk off saying, "Well bye, and thanks for telling me about Cesia."
"Not a problem," Kurama replied, and both of them went their ways.
"Well what do you think Cesia needed Zoma for?" Hiei asked the fox.
"Who knows," Was all that he said, and they walked in silence yet again.
With the other three of the gang.
"Where the heck do you think we are guys," Kuwabara asked when the three were walking down a different hall than Hiei and Kurama.
"Who knows it's not like any of us live here," Yusuke answered looking at him annoyed.
"If you two start fighting we'll go back to the room right now," Botan said looking at the two boys starting to make fists.
These three unlike Kurama and Hiei have gotten lost like usual when they are wondering around endlessly. They started off by not doing to well in choosing a way to go from the room. Soon after wards they walked around in circles still not knowing where to go. After a few more minutes of this they started looking around for someone to help with the situation.
"Do you think Hiei and Kurama are lost?" Kuwabara asked yet again.
"I doubt it. They would know how to find themselves around a place this big. Being ex-thieves, and all," Yusuke said know most of this was true.
"I would have to agree with this. Thieves do need to learn how to get around a place that they are trying to steal from pretty fast, and so I wouldn't be to surprised if they were already outside of this castle," Botan explained acting very serious.
"Hopefully they aren't outside, and maybe we'll run into them soon," Yusuke said in part way doubt.
The three were so preoccupied in the conversation they didn't notice a girl walking down a different hall that connected the two. So just like Hiei and Kurama they ran into another resident at the dragon castle. (Sorry I wanted to make sure some of the dragon knight characters I really liked got in here as well as everyone else.)
"Oh, sorry about that," Botan said seeing the girl as they nearly collided.
"It's all right. I wasn't paying to much attention myself," Girl replied softly.
The girl was around the age of 16 or 17 like everyone else. She had light green hair, and bright blue eyes. She was wearing a white long sleeve dress with blue bows near the elbows. She also had a short sleeve jacket over her dress that was as long as it. (The dress.) Her hair was up in a deeper blue colored bow with her bangs, and some streams of longer hair in front. (If you now this girls real colors for her stuff please tell me, and I'll fix it ASAP.)
"Well my name's Delte. What's yours?" She said looking back at the three.
"My name's Botan and this is Yusuke and Kuwabara," Botan replied easily.
"Well why are you guys walking around this area?" Delte asked seeing that they didn't know their way around the castle.
"Well we're last, and we don't have a clue where we are," Yusuke responded.
"Yeah do you know how we can get outside?" Kuwabara asked from behind.
"Sure just fallow me I don't have anything else to do right now," Delte answered happily.
"That would be a lot of help," Botan said cheerily at her.
"Well come with me please," Was all Delte said and they were off yet again with help this time.
Outside with Kurama and Hiei.
Just as Botan said where Hiei and Kurama were they had been able to find themselves outside looking at the blue sky. Hiei did find a tree eventually, and jumped into it like he usually did back in Japan. Kurama was looking around at the different plants that were growing in the gardens. Soon they heard someone coming from out of the large wooded area in front of the castle.
"Who do you think it is?" Hiei said jumping from the tree.
"Like I would know it could be anybody. Even someone we haven't run into so far," Kurama replied calm as ever with the person steps nearing them.
Soon after 30 seconds the person finally appears out of the forest. It was Samara yet again running for some reason, and looked really tired. It was also obvious that she had been looking for the gang.
"Hi Samara what is it that you need us for?" Kurama asked looking towards her.
Samara looked part way surprised that he knew that she was looking for them an answered, "The dragon lord wanted me to find you guys, and bring you to the main hall for something. He didn't tell me what, but said it was kind a important."
'I wonder what the hell that could be. We haven't been here for even two days, and they want us to come to something,' Hiei thought when Samara finished. That's when he noticed that Samara hadn't found Yusuke and the other two.
"Hey where's the other three?" He asked quickly.
"I still haven't found them yet, but I'm still looking," Samara replied.
When Samara finished talking they heard yet again someone approaching from the castle's front door. They all turned their attention in that direction to see the other three with a girl with light green hair.
"Hi Delte," Samara said recognizing the face.
"Hi Samara. What are you doing out here? Aren't you supposed to be inside the castle?" She asked then noticed the other two men with her, "Hi."
"Yeah I know, but the lord wanted me to find these five for something. I'm still not sure what it is so I've been searching the grounds just in case they were able to find a way out of the castle," Samara replied some what happy sense Delte had found the other three.
"Well I guess we all need to go back in then," Delte exclaimed.
As soon as the group had found each other they went inside the castle with Samara and Delte lending. Then they all headed towards the room they had been earlier.
End Chapter
I think this is one of the longest chapters in this story. Man I had a lot of ideas. Anyways I hope your enjoying the story so far. Also I was going to put the dragon officers in here, but when I realized that I had them split into two groups it would be annoying at some rate for them to be introduced twice. So they will be in the next chapter. Review please. (For if I have any mistakes in this chapter or the other ones.)
