The Demon House

Chapter Two

"Hiei!" Icelena growled "He must have been wathing this whole thing!" Kurama looked in the same direction and saw him outside the window. There he was. The stubborn fire demon was trying to get inside the house through the window. Regardless of the concequences, he broke through the window anyway into the living room with the other two. Hiei glanced at Kurama's wrist and back at his face.

"What happened there? Vampire? Careful, fox. You could get seriously done in."

"Don't worry, Hiei. I was just about to finnish these scum off anyway." Kurama said and as he tried to sommon his rose whip, it exploded. This was even worse. The vampire didn't just suck Kurama's blood, it drained his energy as well. Kurama looked in horror at his wrist, as did Icelena.

"This is very upseting...." he mumbled. Hiei became angered. He, as srong as he was, knew he coulddn't handle all of this by himself, as much as he'd like to. No, he needed his friend's help. And his friend was basicly useless. But wait. One thing disturbed him. Don't vampires usually bite the neck? Why did he bite his wrist?

"Fox, one question. Why did it bite your wrist? I had always known vampires to bite the neck." Kurama looked back at him in thought. He hadn't thought of that. He shrugged and tried to forget about it. Even someone as smart as Kurama himself couldn't figure that one out.

They once more saw the bats flying around. Hiei stuck his hand out at the ceiling. Fire began to consume his hand. He was going to distroy these things if it killed him. The fire grew to be huge. Pretty soon it was so large, Kurama was worried Hiei might burn down the house. He ran to Hiei and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Hiei, you can't. What if that were to miss? It would burn down my mother's house. We can't use fire in here."

"Well, how do you propose to kill them? How are we going to pull this off?"

But Hiei never got a reply. Why? Because right when Kurama was going to, another bat came at him. This time, at his neck. And it wouldn't come off. Icelena ran over to him and tried her best to pull the bat off his neck, but it put up a good fight. It was draining his blood, fast. Kurama was beginning to fell lightheaded. He stumbled and fell backward into the wall. Icelena did her best to help him. He looked pale and worn out. Icelena's eyes swelled with tears.

"Those bats are killing him, Hiei. Do something!"Hiei turned to her, a scowl on his face. Those two did not get along well.

"I can't use my fire, human fool! What do you suppose I do to kill these pests?"

"Have you forgotten you have a sword, Hiei?" Hiei blushed with embarassment. Oops. Hiei took out his sword and whiped it around a bit. Most of the bats fell to the ground dead,but there were still about twenty or so left. Including the one on Kurama. Hiei darted over and slashed his sword at the one on Kurama, killing it instantly. Kurama's head fell limp on his shoulders as he lost conciousness. Icelena panicked.

"No...we can't be too late. Hiei, you were too slow!"

"Don't yell at me! We're all in this together, believe it or not! It's not any one person's fault! Besides, he could still be alive! Check his pulse, girl." Icelena did as Hiei had instructed, feeling barely anything. He had almost died of blood loss. She closed her eyes and came close to crying. Hiei got the hint.

Just as they both thought things couldn't get any worse, the the remaining bats seemed to bow to the luminescent glow coming from the middle of the room. It was in the shape of a human, sort of. It was a human-like figure in every way except one. It had bat wings. His voice was deep and ancient, evil in every way. But wait. This person wasn't normally evil. Uh-oh.

"Kuronue."

Slightly longer. And I'm thinking I might not get this done in time. Crap...Ah, well. I'll keep working. Remember to review.
