A Black Heart Chapter 20

Hiei POV

I look at Nava unsure of what to do next I was terrified for the first time in my life. I looked down at Runa she was hooked up to machines to keep her alive and in the last few hours was having a hard time of things.

You: Nava please what can I do I have to save her. She looks at me her eyes in tears but she nodded.

Nava: Hiei get me the rock that she gave you and I need to go to her room to get something we don't have much time we are going lose her at this rate. I nod and run to my room to where the stone heart was. As I was running there I knew we were going to use the Flamestone on Runa but I was scared the stone was strong and could kill her either way but without it she would be dead anyway. I run into my room and look to see something new I look by the stone to see a katana by it with a note from Runa.

You: This is the katana that we took from the brat years ago when we were together. I picked up the note and read it.

-Dear Hiei,

Hey you were probably wondering where your old katana went to well I went back to our old hide out way back when and had it buried behind the building by our old tree. Thought with the fighting in a few months you would like it back to help I have mine just in case hope you like it back and fight hard my Firedragon.

-Love your Angelwolf

I looked at the katana and she was right it was my old one and I held it close for a few moments then remembering that she was in trouble grabbed the stone and run back to her side with the katana still in my hands for some reason I felt it would help. I ran all the way there to see that Nava had feathers with her but they were pure white with not another color on them.

Nava: Give me the stone Hiei I am afraid I have to break it in order to get what I need to save her. I looked at her and nodded but I didn't hand her the stone.

You: You need the Flamestone but why you don't command fire you command another element do you not? She looks at me and nods but stops for a moment.

Nava: I do of course my mother was an angel but she held something unknown to my father she was also a water demon on her father's side. I looked at her I for some reason didn't trust her. Now Hiei give me the stone if you wish to save her. I looked at her she was going to take the stone and the only one that could break this stone was Runa and she knew it. That was when someone spoke I looked down and see that Runa is awake.

Runa: Hiei don't give her the stone she was always upset that I was going to get it so hand it to me I know what to do. I nod and hand her the stone it glowed and I see her flash and disappear.

You: Where did she go? I looked around for her and couldn't find her. RUNA!!! I was worried I looked around as the others ran in. I then looked at Nava angry. What happened to Runa? I was going to tear her to pieces if she didn't tell me something.

Nava: She went to the fire temple or where that fire temple stood to do a stone infusion it will be painful for her but if she lives thought it she will be stronger than any fire demon around. I looked at her I had to know the answer.

You: Why would you take the stone from your sister if it could save her? She looked at me then looked down.

Nava: You see Hiei she was right I was never to get the stone it went to the strongest and oldest of the tribe leading family I thought that to be me but when the fight broke out with Storm I was going to run to my father but when I got to where I could see him I watch as he hands the stone to Runa after that I ran the other direction leaving her and the rest of the family behind I couldn't stand her having the stone and not me but after she does the stone infusion the only way to get the stone will be to kill her and take if from her body and I would never go that far. I looked at her confused.

You: Then how where you going to save her now? She looked at me and then looked down.

Nava: I was going to fly her to the volcano as fast as I could to hopefully have her get her powers and life back and if she didn't make it she would be thrown into the volcano just like we bury all of our fire demons of our family. I nod but I still would have a hard time trusting her again.

You: We need to get to her before something goes wrong and we don't have time to wait around show us were it is this temple. She looked at me shocked but nodded.

Nava: I am surprised Hiei that you can't find it after all anyone with a fire demon parent would have taken their child to see the temple to pray for strength. I looked down very upset with my past.

You: I never knew my father who was the fire demon sense I was born on the ice demon island in the sky. She doesn't look at me and nods.

Nava: That is sad to hear Hiei I will not bring up your past again sorry. I nod and we all run out the door. As the others followed confused but after seeing Runa's empty bed followed knowing we were going to find her.

Your POV

I was with Hiei one moment and then I was at the old fire temple grounds around me they were burnt down to ashes but what I need was right there the old stone table with the carvings for the stone infusion the only good thing was that no one would see this happening going against the stone holders code was huge and they could come after me if they still lived that was. I walk up with only the stone heart and felt it fall apart in my hand with the small half of the Flamestone in my hand I reached into a pouch and into the same hand landed the other half I closed my hand and started the chant.

You: Flame so strong but in two come together and grow to wildfire strength so that I may show the power that you have to all around make me strong so that I may live thought fire surrounding me. With that a flame circle surrounded me and closed around me my cloths changed to a flame red outfit almost like my blue fighting outfit. Then the circle closed around me to my hand but it didn't burn me but what it did do was when I opened my hand to a one complete Flamestone and now the only thing left was the infusion.

Voice: So you have come back wolfling of the fire. I turned around to see Storm and I glared at him this put things in a tough area because I need time to do the infusion and I needed the infusion to fight him at this time.

You: What other then the stone do you what? He took steps towards me and smiled a fang type smile.

Storm: Runa you have become a beautiful creature I think instead of the stone I should take you after you do the infusion after all. I looked at him and growled at him to not come a step closer.

You: I think I would give you a fireball to the head other than give you one piece of me or this stone or its power. He doesn't move I knew he was going to wait to take me in my weak state I would be in after the infusion. What could I do I was too weak to become an angel to fly out of here are even get away from him.

Storm: Come Runa do the infusion and then be mine or just hand me the stone either way you will be mine and so will the stone. I look at the stone I could feel the power at my fingertips but if I used it there was no way I would live thought it. I felt around to see if there was anything I could use and felt Hiei coming but he was too far off. I knew I had only one choice.

You: Let me do the infusion and then I will come with you but please don't hurt my friends if they come I will even tell them to stop but please they are training for the Dark Tournament as was I. He nods as I get ready to do the chant.

Storm: Fine but get it over with we are going to have a fun night tonight I can tell. I nod feeling weak and helpless to let my enemy get me like this.

You: Stone of Flame I ask of you to save my life become one with me or see your stone holder your stone guardian die here as she stands give me the strength to protect me and you but as one not as two. So to you I wish this let me become the Flamestone. With that the stone glows and I close my eyes and start to glow as well then without notice I catch fire as the stone goes into my chest and I scream in pain. The pain was unbearable I felt like I was on fire from the inside out.

Storm: Do you like the power Runa you will die from it and your own stupidity. I felt tears run down my face but then I felt something else power coursing thought my body. I stopped screaming and the flames that had surrounded me died down but I felt different I looked at my hair it was now red and my clothes where red to I looked to see not fur but feathers in red with flames of red on them. I looked at my hands and feet to see not claws but talons. I wasn't wolf or angel but a bird. Then I remembered the story of the stone that it was really a phoenix egg that was unborn and now it had hatched in me then I remembered that the bird needed someone with a strong heart to become it and now I was it the bird that couldn't die. I looked at Storm and grinned.

You: Storm do you know where the stone is from? He looks at me in shock of my form my eyes were different in the form of an eagle's eyes. It is from the bird that cannot die Storm and now I am that bird and you can't kill me in this form. I walk up to him every step I take the ground becomes back from the heat of my feet.

Storm: Stay away from me you monster you demon. I looked at him he was scared for the first time he was scared.

You: What is wrong Storm don't you what me or the stone? Come on take them. He finally just flies off not wanting any part of me and I could finally take a good look at my new self as the others showed up.

Nava: Runa?!?! I looked at her and smiled and nodded. How did this happen and I felt Storm where is he? I looked at her and pointed to the dot that was now disappearing.

You: I scared him off Nava he didn't want any piece of me when I took this form. I looked at the others they were in shock but I looked at Hiei he showed fear in his eyes. Hiei it is me Runa. He takes steps back with fear in his eyes but this fear was for me.

Hiei: Stay away from me your not Runa you can't be. I looked at him and then looked at myself.

You: Hiei it is me please it is. I started to show tears but they were not water they were flames and he continued to step back. Hiei please it's me you have to understand it is. He looked at me and kept shaking his head no.

Hiei: You are not Runa she was a wolf and gentle and kind to the eyes but you show only evil to my eyes. I step back looking again and then looked at everyone else. With that wings of red and flames appeared and I took off but unknown to me I dropped my only true thing that was mine a necklace that Hiei gave me something I would never forget and hold on to forever fell to the ground in front of Nava and I see her pick it up but I only flew to the volcano never to see them again to them I was dead.

Nava POV

I watch as Runa flew off in tears she was almost out of site when landing in front of me was a necklace that had to be hers. I hold it up it was pretty and it fit her but it had a name on the back of the pendent. I look to see it was from Hiei to Runa way back when.

You: Here Hiei sense you scared off my sister you might what this sense this is the last you will have of her. I walk up and hand this to him and then walk away knowing I couldn't follow her only a fire demon could handle the flames of that volcano.

Hiei: Nava that wasn't Runa was it? I turned to him and looked at him in tears.

You: Yes Hiei it was and now she will never be back living at the volcano crying forever with no stop because of what you did she didn't look at me or anyone else for approval just you and you pushed her away and now you got it she is gone and when the time comes she will die alone. I turn and leave crying as I feel Kurama pull me close as we walk away Kuwabara follows glaring at Hiei as he passed him.

Kuwabara: Even I could tell it was her and that she only changed due to the power she took on Hiei even I could love her the way she was unlike you but she didn't look at me, Kurama, or even her sister she looked at you and you turned her away. I walked away not one of us wanted to talk to Hiei at the moment he broke us with his black heart that he now carried and that was something that Runa would never have again.

Hiei POV

I watch the others leave in tears and mad at me for what I had done. I didn't understand as I looked at the necklace the Runa I knew was pretty and gentle on the eyes but that demon in front of me that told me that she was Runa was evil and evil could get. I looked at the necklace as I turned it in my hands. I couldn't go back to the house now they would never except me and when Yusuke found out he would probably kill me.

You: What have I done? I felt something close by and I look to see Dragon he must have followed Runa out her when she disappeared from the castle. Dragon what are you out here boy? I went to pet him but he bared his teeth at me. I looked at him even he was mad at me. I look towards the mountain that had to be the volcano where Runa was going. I have to go to her don't I Dragon? I look at him as he bobs his head up and down. Then I better get going but first to at least tell someone. "Kurama please listen I am going to get Runa back because you guys are not going to let me into the house otherwise are you?" I could feel him nod yes and then block his mind. I looked at Dragon and smiled. I bet you think it is funny to see that baka put me in my place wasn't it Dragon. He bobs his head again. Do you think you could give me a ride to the volcano then? He turns and I hope on as he runs towards Runa I then look at my side to notice I had two katanas and Dragon carried with him two others and a dagger. I smiled and looked ahead. I will bring you back Runa because no matter what you look like I love you ok and nothing was going to change that. With that my only thoughts were to get to her and nothing else.
