Sorry that took so long! I somehow got so busy! I thought this was summer. TT
Erm, here is the chapter...
Hiei's grip tightened on his katana, and he felt his muscles tense up, ready to strike anything and chop it all in half. The boy barely glanced at Hiei and put his own sword across his back, relaxing. This was an insult to Hiei, since the boy decided that Hiei was going to be the easiest fight he ever fought. Unfortunately for the boy, Hiei could read all his thoughts, but that does not mean that he trusted all of them.
"Hiei Jaganshi right?" the boy asked, his fingers tapping his sword's handle, as if getting impatient.
"Hn," Hiei replied, confirming the boy's question.
"Night," he said, bowing slightly, and bringing his sword back around him to point at Hiei, "At your service..."
Without even straightening up, Night launched his first attack, he ran, more like leaped through the air at such speed Hiei was almost caught off guard. He had expected the attack, it was in his thoughts, but he had not expected the speed. Hiei sidestepped and blocked the blade with his own, sparks flying, illuminating the dark vault for a split second. Hiei returned the attack with his own, then another, and another...
Night yawned as he blocked the fourth attack. He switched his sword hand to itch the back of his head, no doubt noticing this infuriated Hiei. But Hiei replied by just getting stronger and stronger, not to mention serious.
Hiei faked an attack and came around with a kick instead, landing it right in Night's floating rib. No matter how tough a man is, they still feal pain when a rib breaks, but Night barely flinched, he did not even look down at the place of impact, only counterattacked with a swing of his sword, slashing Hiei on the shoulder. As newly shed blood appeared on Hiei, Hiei noticed something changed in Night. It was not like my sickness, it was opposite sort of, Night was getting faster and stronger, in other words, droven crazy by blood.
Hiei reacted in time and doged Night's intended stab and ended up behind Night. But before he even got a chance to slice Night at his blindspot, Night leaned foward and backflipped, one of his feet hitting Hiei right under the chin, sending him flying upwards toward the vault ceiling. Hiei fell down with a tile where his head had hit. Night was once more facing him, his back to the wall now, leaning on it, his sword once more resting against his shoulders. He yawned.
Hiei bent down and grabbed the tile and threw it at Night, who just bent down at let the tile crumble as it impacted its fellow tiles on the wall. Hiei choose this time to sprint foward and let his sword pierce right through Night's stomach. Night grabbed the sword with his free hand, not flinching of course, and pulled it out without letting go. Hiei let go of his katana as Night's black Spirit Energy englufed it, like hands trying to engulf everything in its darkness.
Night threw the sword aside and stepped away from the wall, his sword pointing once more at Hiei, who had no blade to block with. But this ridiculous fight had gone far too long for Hiei's liking, and he did not like it when it looked like he was loosing.
"Hn."
Black flames erupted around Hiei without any warning or give away. Hiei's Jagan Eye opened, shinning through its white curtain that hid it from the world. The bandages on his arm burned off, revealing the black dragon spiralling around it. It suddenly vanished, and Night noticed so, but his only reaction was he put up his sword in defense, as if a piece of metal was going to stop Hiei's dragon.
But as it formed from the flames around Hiei and flew straight for Night, his sword did stop it, somewhat. It was pushing him backwards, no matter how hard Night tried to keep his ground. His hands which held the sword and pushed the dragon away from him with all his might began burning slowly from contact with the dragon's mouth.
It was Hiei who finished it though. He simply walked over to his sword and picked it up, and now stalked towards Night. As Hiei decided he got near enough, he changed his grip on his katana, and got ready to throw it.
Night looked away from the dragon in time to see a shinning thing pierce him right through the heart. He lived long enough to pull it out of his body and throw it aside once more before his grip on his own sword diminished enough for the dragon to overpower it and englufed Night, eating him barely alive.
Hiei retrieved his katana from the ground and sheathed it, looking at the red splatter on the wall where Night had stood a moment before. Something in the back of his head was yelling at him, it sounded almost like my voice.
Hiei thought it said that something about keeping Ikuro's followers alive. Oops, well, Hiei had violated that rule, like many other rules before. But the voice kept on coming, louder, and he realized it said something about a poison.
Hiei glanced at the wound on his shoulder, which was already healing slowly. It was gushing out black stuff, a lot like the Spirit Energy Night had released just once.
"Hn."
My shout for Kurama echoed all across the vault, and after it reached Hiei's ears, he headed off in my direction. As he did, he sent out a telepathic message to Kurama, calling for his assistance for me more than himself. It took a little longer than normal for Hiei to find me slumped asleep in the vault, for he had to use some of his strength to stay awake. Strange really, that bother the girl's and boy's name had a rather deep meaning behind them.
'Night' Hiei thought as he sat down next to me. "Did you know Sana," Hiei said, "My opponent was named Night, and you know your opponent's name? It was Moonlight. Bunch of... fake names..."
And Hiei could no longer fight the sleeping poison that circulated in his blood.

Hmmm... I wonder if Kurama is ever going to go to their aid. Seriously, this isn't the time to take a nap.
Next chapter: Something appears at the front gates. Wonder what it is...
