Chapter 13: "Mik"
I moment later a strange woman came out accompanied by Zollen and Vash, who was carrying a sleeping Sora and Matt scrambled out and onto my head.
"Well, that's a MeAni Winger alright! He's a beauty too!" She winked at me and I took a few steps back away from her.
Zollen looked at the woman. "Okay Mik. That's Hiei."
I used my wing as an extra limb to keep me balanced while my back right foot scratched at an itchy spot on the side of my neck, trying to ignore everyone.
"Ain't to bright is he?" I growled and bared my fangs. My growl became a hiss. "Don't you growl at me you blarner."
I continued to growl softly. She glared at me.
/Hn./
"A MeAni's rare…" she mumbled as she studied me. I sat on my back legs, watching her closely.
"Mik's a dragon expert. She's a friend of Zollen's," Matt told me.
/Really? I kind of guessed that much./
"Er… Yeah whatever."
I sighed and watched Mik walk away. Everyone was talking and I was getting bored.
About ten minutes later dad walked over. "Okay. Ready?"
/Yeah./ I said. /But I don't think I can carry all of you./
"I can walk home. You take them home." I nodded as he put Sora on my back. "Try not to let her fall off."
I gave him the best look I could manage as dragon. /I won't drop her./ I took to the air as Sora woke up and hugged my neck tightly out of fear of falling. /Relax./
"Hiei? You're okay!" She relaxed. I landed exactly like I had last time and Sora and Matt got off. "Mom, I'm hungry."
"Let's go see what there is to eat." I felt panic rise. I ate everything the other night and wrecked the kitchen. I was so dead.
/Oh damn…/
/Calm down./ Vash said. /I fixed everything and bought food last night./
I sighed, relived. /Thanks./ I decided to go hunting later. I followed them inside.
