CHAPTER 6

The Dragon of the Darkness Flame devoured all the things that had been attacking Hiei, leaving an unnerving quite when it disappeared. The fire demon stood, leaning against the subway stairwell railing for support as he tried to catch his breath. Using the dragon had drained a lot of his energy and any moment he might fall over and hybernate. He couldn't do that. He didn't have time.

Damn it! he thought angrily. Stupid creatures! Now I'm vunerable! He looked around himself, cautiously. I just hope there isn't anymore.

He stood still for a moment, until he was sure he still had enough energy to proceed then slowly stumbled down the stairs.

"And this is the roof where we play the volley of the ball," Starfire said as she led Kurama onto the tower roof.

The red haired fox demon looked around the roof at the view and the volleyball net of to one side. He glanced at the sky but the stars were still hidden under thick storm clouds. iIt didn't seem Hiei was up here either and this girl had drug him through the entire tower on the Grand Tour. His guess was, his friend wasn't there.

"Hey," Starfire's voice broke into his thoughts.

"Huh?" he looked down at her.

"Do you want to play some volley of the ball?" she asked, her eyes hopeful.

"Uh...," he stammered, thinking quickly. "No thanks, Princess. (she'd told him she was a princess) It's to windy out here for that game. Why don't we head inside?"

"Oh..," she said, looking disappointed. "Okay.." she started to go. "I'll show you back to the livingroom then..." When she took a step her foot met something and she tripped. "Eeek!" she shreaked, falling to the roof.

Kurama moved quickly and caught her in his arms before she hurt herself. She stared up at him and into his emerald green eyes. He looks so handsome close up... He has lovely eyes...

"Are you okay?" he asked.

She smiled and snuggled her face into his chest. "I am now.."

Beastboy, Cyborg, and Robin had followed Starfire and Kurama to the roof. They were hiding behind the room area where the stairs were and were peeking around the corner at the two. "Well what do we have here?" Cyborg said when he saw Starfire snuggled against Kurama. "Looks like Star has a new love in her life."

"Yeah," Beastboy agreed snorting. "She's all over that guy."

"Shut up!" Robin growled, glaring jealously at the two red heads. "She'll get over him. Pretty soon she'll see his true character and this little crush will end."

Beatboy and Cyborg looked at each other. "Jealous," they said together.

"I'm not jealous!" Robin protested, folding his arms and leaning against the wall. "I just know it won't last."

"Those were the exact words I used to say about Hiei and Raven's relationship," Beastboy told him. "And when he left I thought he was going to be gone for good and Raven would get over him." he faced Robin. "Well she didn't and he's back and more in love with her than ever. He's probably out looking for her right now."

"It was different with them," Robin pointed out. "You never would have had a chance with her, Beastboy. Besides; I thought you loved Terra."

"I do!" Beastboy replied, blushing as he thought about the blond who would control the earth. "but sometimes... well you know. She's probably never going to come back. I can't wait on a dead girl forever."

"Starfire isn't dead." Robin said flatly.

"Robin," Cyborg said, looking at his short friend. "Why don't you go inside try to pick up Raven's signal?"

"Oh no," Robin said. "I'm not leaving those two alone." he glared at Kurama.

"They won't be alone," Beastboy pointed out. "We'll be watching them."

Robin was silent for a moment. He seemed to be thinkling it over. Finally he shook his head. "I couldn't pick her signal before so it's unlikely I'll be able to now," he said. "I'm staying." he looked back at Kurama and Starfire. If they start kissing I'm gonna step right in.

Hiei reached the bottom of the stairs and instantly staggered until he tripped and fell to the sudway floor. He put of his hands to break his fall and landed on his hands and knees. He stayed in that position for a moment, panting and angry at himself as the ground seemed to pull him toward it. No! Not now! Wait a little longer. A few more minutes won't hurt me. I can't die by then can I? He righted himself again and stared walking slowly down the dark subway tunnle.

After awhile he forgot about using up so much energy on the dragon and being tired and started to pay more attention to the sounds he heard in the tunnles. He'd left the main area of the subway tunnles as was now walking down a passage that looked like it had been created by the world's largest earthworm. He stopped for a moment and rested his hand on the dirt wall. Could whoever had kidnapped Raven have made there or... he remembered everything his girlfriend could do with her powers. Could Raven have been forced to create this tunnle for them? He didn't have time to think it over. He had to keep moving.

A few moments later he stepped out of the tunnle and into a huge cavern like area. He stopped to look around himself. He saw old pipes coming down from a high ceiling. Water dripped from some of the pipes, creating giant puddles on the floor. He took a step forward and heard the sound of metal under his feet. He looked down and saw he was standing on some kind of steel platform. What in the world? he looked around. What is this place anyway? He looked around again, this time more cautiously but saw nothing that would possibly be a threat. He did spot another tunnle all the way across the room. He figured that was the way and took another step down the platform. His black shoes clanked loudly on the metal floor. He hadn't gotten much farther when he heard a screech from above. He raised his head just in time to see creatures, similar to the ones he'd killed on the surface, flying down at him.

No! Not now! I don't have time for this! he unsheathed his sword and got ready for a fight.

He probably would have beat them to but since he'd used his dragon on the ones on the surface he was out of energy and was almost immediately overwhelmed. One of the creatures knocked his sword out of his hand and before he could make a grab for it two more got ahold of his arms and shoved him onto the metal floor. He struggled madly as more came to join their buddies and before he knew it the things had him pinned to the floor by his arms, legs, and even his stomach.

He glared at them all. "Get off me!" he yelled at them, making another attempt to get free.

Suddenly he heard the sound of laughter and stopped struggling. He looked beyond the creatures holding him down and saw somebody dressed as a monk and holding a staff of some kind standing over him. The monk's face was shadowed by it's cloak so he couldn't see it's face. When the monk saw him staring at him he stopped laughing. "So, the Jagan Master has come at last," he said in a low, grating voice.

"Who are you?" Hiei demanded, glaring at the monk. "And how do you know about the Jagan."

The monk avoided the question by going on. "Yoy have come to save the daughter of Trigon haven't you?" it turned from him and stared walking back and forth. "I'm sorry but that will be impossible. You see, we need her for special purposes and we can't have you coming down here and spiriting her away on us."

"What kind of purposes do you need her for?" Hiei demanded angrily, trying to break free from the creatures holding him down. "Why would you go through such trouble to take her from the tower? What is it that you want?"

"I really don't need to tell you anything," the monk said, turning back to the fire demon. "But since you're down here we can't have you returning to the surface and telling the others where she is."

"What do you mean?" Hiei growled.

"You'll be staying with us," the monk said, clapping his hands. "As an honored guest."

Suddenly he moved back an another flying creature flew past him and right into Hiei. Hiei felt the intruder trying to possess him and he screamed in agony as darkness surrounded him and his body moved spasmisically as he tried to fight the thing inside him and force it out. He struggled for the longest time then his body went limp and the creature came out as Hiei lost conciousness.

The monk stared down at him a little longer, making sure he was really out then nodded his head and said to the creatures. "Let's get him out of here."

Raven stared at the blond girl in disbelief. "Terra," she said. "What are you doing here? How did you-?"

"How did I come back?" she asked, putting her hands on her hips and leaning her face close. "These Saints brought me back. Something you were unable to do." Raven looked away. "I owe them everything," the blond went on leaning back and folding her arms. "And I'll help them get anything they want."

"Even if it means kidnapping me and forcing me to create mass chaos on the surface?" Raven demanded.

"Don't blame us for your inability to control your powers," Terra said frowning and looking annoyed. "It's not our fault your powers go crazy when you show emotion. It's your fault for being unable to control them well enough to show emotion without problems."

The half demon girl glared at her friend. "What are you planning?" she asked.

"I'm not planning anything," Terra told her, turning from her and pacing in front of her. "I'm only helping these Saints complete their plan."

"What are they planning?"

"I have no idea."

You're working for them and have no idea what's going? Raven found that hard to believe but she didn't voice her thoughts because it wouldn't do any good. She just took a long look at Terra. Something isn't right about her. She doesn't seem like herself. I wonder if something happened to her...

Starfire finally stopped snuggling against Kurama long enough to suggest. "Want to go into the downstairs and get something to eat? You must be hungry after such a long trip."

Kurama was hungry. Even he'd admit that. He nodded. "Okay."

Starfire giggled and took his hand. "Then let's go!" she said, beginning to lead him into the tower.

He held back and jerked on her hand. "Wait!" he exclaimed.

She stopped and looked back at him. "What is it?" she asked.

"Do you hear that?" he asked, listening hard.

The alien girl became quite and listened. Now she heard it too. The sound of wing beats. And not tiny ones either. These were were huge. Too big to a be a bat's and there was a lot of them. "What are-?" she began to ask.

Before she could finish her question there was a screech from above and about twenty demons flew out of the sky and down at the tower!
