Chapter 20: "To the North"
When I started to wake up everything was fuzzy. My head felt clogged and I couldn't think one damn coherent thing. According to Matt every time Mik came near me I tried to bite her but I couldn't even stand straight for a moment.
I felt slightly bad. I was in Mik's debt since she fixed my wing. My head felt a lot clearer now. /Mik/ I walked over and sat in front of a tree and looked up. She sat on a branch.
"What do ya want?"
/Sorry./ I said simply. /If you ever need anything you can ask me./ I got up and started to walk off.
"Will do." she replied then nothing else was said.
"Y'know… Hiei, Mik's your cousin."
/I have a cousin/ I asked.
"Yeah. You have a lot of cousins. Mik's part dragon."
/And what about you/
"Er… Hiei, you need to learn how to fight."
/But I already do know how to fight and you're avoiding the--/
Matt interrupted. "You don't know how to fight as a dragon so we have to find the MeAni! To the North!" I sighed. There would be no way to get her to answer. She was stubborn.
/Okay, to the North./ Matt seemed really happy. /As soon as my wounds heal./
"What? Oh, fine." she curled up on my back and I laid down to rest for a while.
A few days later and my wing was fully healed. Matt ran over happily as I landed from testing it out.
"Well? Can we go now? Canwecanwecanwe?"
/Yeah. It's fine now./
"Then let's go! Nownownownownow!" Matt scrambled up onto my back.
I looked at her. /You really want to go, don't you/
"Uh huh! NOW!"
I flared my wings and crouched down. /Alright, alright. Sheesh…/ I leapt into the air and flapped my wings, gaining height quickly then followed Matt's directions to the North.
