Chibi Hiei on the Run
By: DJ Rodriguez and Saiyan Moon Goddess
(Author’s Notes: Sorry for the delay folks, was being a lazy butt for awhile. But now that I got my fire back, its time to kick this fanfic into high gear!
Saiyan Moon Goddess: This time, Chibi Hiei and Marlene will come face-to-face with an unlikely hero and his partner that is a novice from the look of it. The anime is not well-known by many, it’s not even in Fanfiction.net’s Anime section, but it kicks ass all the same!
DJ: As always, the character Marlene and the original plot for this fanfic are owned by SMG, and Hiei is the property of Yu Yu Hakusho designers/creators. Also, the rest of the characters in here are owned, so we don’t get jack.
Now, on with the fanfic!)
Chapter 9
Chibi Hiei and Marlene were falling in the dimensional tunnel, both feeling differently. The former demon Marlene was spent out due to fighting in Sonic’s world, and the tunnel was slowly draining her energy. However, Chibi Hiei was recovering from his sugar rush and was now excited on where they were going to next. “This is so cool! Where are we going to next?!” he asked excitedly.
“How should I know?” Marlene retorted, holding her head as if she had a headache. She was hoping that the tunnel would lead them back home. However, the tunnel started to shift and shake. A dark hole opened up and the two were sucked into it, Marlene groaning in frustration while her charge simply yelled out in excitement.
The dark hole took them down a black abyss, then as quickly as it came it was splashed with bright white light! The two beings shielded their eyes to protect their eyes, and in a few minutes opened them when they felt wind rushing all around their bodies. What they saw surprised them, but not by much. They were falling once again out of the sky, but looking down they saw a large city of sort that was enclosed in some sort of star pentagram formation geographically.
“Eh? A city that is inside an impossibly perfect pentagram formation? How can that be?” Marlene asked herself. However, she soon had other pressing matters to attend to. Like how to stay alive from the impact! She heard a squeal of glee and turned her head to the right to see Chibi Hiei doing acrobatic moves. She was wondering on how he could regain his energy so quickly, especially after a major sugar rush.
“Hiei, come here to me!” Marlene called out while opening her arms. Chibi Hiei paid no mind, just twirling and doing air-flips as they fell. The ground came closer and closer with each passing second, and the blonde girl looked down to see that they were heading to a school of sort. Down below were teenagers dressed in high school uniforms similar to the ones in her world. She felt a strange energy aura coming from one of them, an aura strong and yet restrained.
“Marlene-san! Marlene-san! We’re going to hit bottom soon! Yay!” Chibi Hiei yelled out. The girl sweatdropped, wondering if her charge knew that if they hit the ground they would not be getting back up anytime soon. At least, she wouldn’t. On impulse, she pushed Chibi Hiei away in another direction a few seconds before impact. He landed in a large, tall tree that was situated on a small hit beside the high school.
“Oh crap…” she muttered. In the actions of pushing Chibi Hiei towards the tree, she propelled herself and was about to hit an unfortunate male student who was dressed in green athletic sportswear. Two girls, who were nearby, yelled out a warning to their friend but it was too late. Marlene and the young man crashed hard into one another, but luckily the boy’s body cushioned her fall somewhat.
“Quick, get the school nurse!” one of the girls called out. Her head was exploding with pain by now with the impact. Marlene looked up wearily and saw a young teenage girl, having dark blue eyes and match hair put up in two ponytails, white skinned, and wearing the light green-white school uniform.
‘This girl… she has the aura I sensed earlier.’ Marlene thought before blackness took her.
~Later on~
At the top of an ancient shrine overlooking the city, called the Enno Shrine, four people were looking over two beings, Marlene and Chibi Hiei, lying on futons on the floor. One of them was the girl that saw the two fell, her name being Chiaki Enno. She was a priestess officially, but acted more like one in training. Next to her on the right side was an old woman, but looked to have a certain fire in her. In her right hand was a paper fan, she was never without it. She was Chiaki’s grandmother, but everyone including her called her Granny Saki.
On the other side of the mats were two males, one old and the other not. The old one looked to be in his early sixties, having a white beard and mustache but no hair on top. He wore the garment of an abbot, a priest who studied the lessons of Zen. In his hand he carried prayer beads. His name was Jukai, Granny Saki’s brother, and the young man beside him was Kuribayashi his apprentice. The boy was totally bald and wore monk clothes, but was much more sensible then his lazy mentor.
“It was really freaky, granny! Those two suddenly fell out of the sky, the kid landing in the tree and the girl landing into Shun hard! Ako and Sayaka took Shun to the nurse, but… I don’t know why, but I felt these two should come to the temple.” Chiaki told the old woman.
Granny nodded and said “Your tuition was correct, Chiaki. I sense great power in both of them, but none of it evil.” Before anything else could be said, a small child with flaming red hair in a long ponytail barged into the room. He looked to be around Chibi Hiei’s age, and wearing what looked to be golden armor of sort. He sniffed the air and looked around the room, then his gaze fell onto Marlene and Chibi Hiei.
The child was Zenki, a guardian spirit who served the priest Ozuno Enno one thousand years ago. Chiaki was the 55th descendent of the priest, and it was her that released Zenki from his stone imprisonment due to an ugly incident with a couple of wayward monks some time ago. The young lady was given a bracelet that held the power to call Zenki to her from anywhere he was, and also to unlock seals that were placed on him to enable the child to change into his true form. His true form be a larger, more mature (well, physically) version of his child self, an ogre best be described.
Ozuno told his descendent, his words floating in the air, that evil was once again back in the world and had in their possessions Seeds of Evil. These seeds were the size of a large walnut, looked like one too, but when locked onto a person’s carnal, sinful emotions they would open to reveal that of a red-slit eye. Chiaki had seen what the Seeds of Evil do, transform humans into terrifying monsters with destructive abilities. Zenki would fight the beings in his transformed state, defeat them, and actually eat the Seeds. To him, they were a delicacy.
But despite all of this, Zenki was wild and nearly uncontrollable. He was forced to do the bidding of Ozuno, his first “master” and sealed away when there was no need of him. Now it is the same with Chiaki, and would love nothing more then to be free and in his transformed state forever. However, the bracelet would not allow harm to the girl and she could be able to transform him back to chibi form, where he was weak.
“What’s going on here? What’s another demon doing here?” he exclaimed, pointing directly at Chibi Hiei. That got a gasp of surprise from everyone, but Granny stated that she sensed no evil intent from them. Then he was at Marlene’s bedside in an instant, smelling the air around her. “She smells….wrong.” And he stood next to Chibi Hiei. Zenki was sniffing closer to the little demon like a dog, when the smaller one’s eyes opened and locked onto Zenki’s. A few minutes silence and pause took place, and then the two jumped and backed away from one another.
“Who are you?!” both exclaimed at the same time.
Chibi Hiei looked everywhere, to see where he was at. He turned around to see Granny, then down to see Marlene in the mat. “Who are you, old lady? And what did you do to Marlene?!” he demanded. The elderly woman was about to say something when Zenki leaped up and tried to tackle Chibi Hiei. The small demon leaped up, avoided the attack, and landed on Chiaki’s head like a cat.
Chibi Hiei stuck out his tongue at Zenki and taunted “You can’t catch me, shortie!” That got the guardian spirit riled up something fierce, and leapt on Chiaki to try and get Chibi Hiei. The small demon leaped off, and the two fell to the ground hard. Chibi Hiei laughed and ran outside, Zenki soon following him.
Chiaki got up quick, steaming mad. “Come back here, you little brats!” She chases after them, but the others stay rooted to the spot. Granny was about to go after them, when a moan from Marlene got her attention. The old woman put a cold washcloth on her, and it was there that the young lady’s eyes opened up and looked at Granny.
“ ’hat is…‘oin on?” she tried to speak, but it came out slurred. Her body had taken a heavy hit, added with the drain earlier, Marlene was in bad shape. Kuribayashi told her on what was going on, at least on the information he had gotten recently. She barely heard what was being said to her, and she understood little to nothing except for a ringing noise in her ears. Her mind was a blur; she felt nauseous to the point of vomiting but also felt too dizzy and tired to move. And her brain pulsed painfully against her skull. She was lost in her own thoughts.
‘Where am I? Am I late for school again? Michael is going to kill me…. No, wait…I was supposed to be watching someone, right? Kurama….Hiei….Chibi Hiei….I turned Kurama’s best friend into a chibi. He’s going to kill me…..and Michael will help him if he finds out I misused my abilities to play pranks again….’ A groan escaped her lips as she turned away from the sunlight shining close to her face, from a nearby window. ‘I brought this to myself.’
She could hear Chibi Hiei’s yells and laughter, though to her they were faint. What could the child be doing right now? To make it worse, she wasn’t there to stop him. Marlene vaguely wondered where he was and hoped he wouldn’t cause too much damage before her limbs responded again.
Outside, while the elders and the apprentice monk took care of Marlene, Chibi Hiei and Zenki were chasing each other like mad with Chiaki trying to catch either of them. “Come back here, you little brats!” the young girl shouted at them. The little ones were running all over the place, destroying property while also avoiding the priestess.
“Get back here, you brat! I’m gonna beat you down!” Zenki yelled at Chibi Hiei while chasing him at the entrance/exit of the temple. The small demon merely stuck out his tongue and blew a raspberry at the guardian as he leapt at the left red pillar of the large ornate door. However, his miscalculation was that the pillar was wet due to a light shower that past by earlier. He slipped and landed on Zenki.
The two brawled and battled it out, a la dust cloud fight. Hair-pulling, biting, scratching, punching, kicking, the works were used in this scuffle. Chiaki was a bit appalled by the fighting and was about to break it up, when the two tumbled down the hill via the steps. “Oh no! Oh, this is just not my day!” she said to herself in exasperation as she followed the children down the steps. Unfortunately for her, someone else was watching the scene.
~In another part of the forest~
In the forest area surrounding the temple, an old man was watching the scene with interest. He wore elaborate blue robes, looked to be in his mid sixties, had long white beard plus mustache, and had a calculating look in his eyes. His name was Goulen, one of three “Children of Darkness” to an entity named Kuruma. It was they that had started to spread the Seeds of Evil, and giving Chiaki and Zenki a hard time.
“Hmmm… who is that with that guardian? He is not human, that much I’m sure of.” he said to himself. He had special senses that allowed him to gauge the strength of individuals, and he saw that Chibi Hiei was very powerful despite his size and antics. He was sure that there was more to the child then eye saw.
“I’ll look into that brat later. Right now, I have other matters to attend to.” Goulen stated as he looked down in his right palm. In it was a Seed of Evil, and he knew just whom to implant it in. Looking at the high school were Chiaki came out of, he teleported out of sight. It seems that things were going to get interesting in Guardian Village, quite interesting indeed.
(Author’s Note: Well, here you have it! A new chapter, a new adventure, and most of it is going to focus on Chibi Hiei.
Saiyan Moon Goddess: Yeah! The little guy needs more time in the limelight. Don’t you all agree? My character will be out for the count for a little while. So enjoy Chibi Hiei’s craziness! You all deserve it!”
R&R, no flames, enjoy, and leave long reviews!)
