CHAPTER 6: Bloodshed

Last time...

"Stop showing off Kiari! Just because me and Yuna can't do that doesn't make you ultra special or anything." Trinity retorted.

Something hit the door making the girls jump. The knob began to turn and the sound of a key being slid into the keyhole was heard.

"They're coming for us!"

Trinity screamed.

Hiei jumped up and ran for the door, motioning the girls to be quiet. The door opened, two men walked in and Hiei managed to trip the first one. Both had swords drawn and ready to kill. The second turned his gaze to Hiei and at the same time brought his sword across his left shoulder blade.

The sword was drawn back, but before he could attack he had already been stabbed by the sword Hiei took from the previous soldier. He finished the first one off by stabbing the neck and twisting the sword. The girls starred horrified and the two bodies and at Hiei who was now gushing blood from his shoulder wound. He dropped the sword and fell to his knees holding his shoulder.

"Are you alright?"

Kiari and her sisters went to Hiei and awaited his answer.

"Yea, I'll be fine in a few minutes. It's just a little cut."

Hiei looked at it and it was not a small slice, but was a deep gash. He grabbed the sword and managed to get to his feet. At first he swayed just a bit, but caught his balance.

"One of you get that other sword and let's go."

"But we don't kill…"

He turned and gave them a look which made Kiari grab the sword. Hiei saw this and so he walked out of the door only to be kicked back through it. The man ran in and pointed his swordright at Hiei's neck, slightly cutting the skin. He lifted the sword and was ready to thrust it through when Kiari stabbed him in the chest. Trinity quickly grabbed the sword so it didn't fall and cut his neck open.

Kiari started to freak out and was shaking; she still had a hold of the sword which was still inside the guy who was right above Hiei.

"Keep the sword still; I'm going to get up to help you."

Hiei crawled out from under the guy and sword to face Kiari. He placed his right hand on the man's chest right above the sword, and placed his left on the top of the katana.

"I want you to slowly pull the sword out of the man, ok."

"No it's not ok! I just killed a man! My hands are stained with blood and I killed him!"

She screamed through her tears that were now falling from her eyes.

"Calm down and just do as I say."

In that moment the man grabbed Hiei's arm and pulled him closer. Hiei pushed away from the man and at the same time grabbed the sword from the man's body and slicing him from the right shoulder to the left hip. Two pieces fell to the floor in a bloody mess, making the girls scream. Kiari fell to her knees bawling even more now. Hiei dropped the sword and knelt in front of Kiari, placing his hands on her upper arms.

"It's alright, you didn't kill that man. You're hands aren't stained, mine are."

"Thank you Hiei!"

Kiari hugged him then dried her tears and stood up. Hiei followed grabbing the sword and handing it back to her. Hiei gave his sword to Yuna, and he went over to the fallen man. He knelt down beside him and lifted the top half up to get the other sword from under him. Once he obtained the sword the four left the room and was traveling down the hall.

"Wait, we have to stop and help a friend."

Kiari walked to the door and opened it. Her eyes opened wide and Hiei immediately went to see. A woman was being raped by two men and she was screaming for them to stop. Hiei ran in pulled the two off her and in a second, had slain both. He walked back out the room without looking at her. When she was dressed Hiei went back in to see the four girls standing together. The girl he had saved stepped forwards and was making an effort to smile.

"Thank the gods you saved me."

"Hiei, this is our friend and she is a priestess so just call her Sister."

Kiari introduced the two and the Sister looked at Hiei.

"What god do you believe in?"

"I don't have one."

Hiei said coldly while watching for any signs of soldiers.

"We have to get moving."
