Chapter Five

Not So Out of Sight…

 

It had been an awkward moment when the alarms had been set off. It seemed that demons, unlike in the Japan district, were unwelcome to the US district of Raikai. Even the security of this region was not of any sort of Oni decent. But none of them were human either, they seemed human but it was apparent to Hiei that they weren't. They seemed a lot like Botan, dead yet alive, the undead.

“Um. Hi my name is Botan and this is Hiei.” Botan points a thumb in his direction.

“We're from the Japan borough. We're here to catch a rouge demon.” No one moved, their eyes glued on Hiei who sighed in annoyance, all of them flinched at this. After a few more seconds of silence a voice from the back of the large crowed was calling out,

“Halt! Stop! Put your weapons down! She's one of us and…” It was a reasonably tall blond man with a `Jesus' sweater on. He looked Hiei up and down and seemed to start panicking.

“AAAAH! HE'S A DEMON! WHATS A DEMON DOING HERE?! WHY DID YOU BRING A DEMON TO MY OFFICE?!” The man seemed hysterical. His expressions every one unique with each word he shouted.

Botan tilted her head and looked at Hiei and said,

“You mean you knew I was coming but you didn't know Hiei was coming? That's strange, this is his mission after all.” The man stopped moving at this.

“He's Hiei? Hiei's a demon? I thought he used to work for Koenma.” Botan nodded at this and it seemed to shock the man.

“Koenma has, had, a demon employee.”

“Most of his employees are demons I thought everyone knew that.” The man shook his head and said,

“This precinct doesn't really stay in touch with all of the others. So this means we have to help `it'?” he nodded toward Hiei.

“I can hear you, you know. And I have no need of your help, just your permission to search around.” Botan continued,

“And to get some money, and a place to stay, and can we have a cup of coffee some time?” She gasped and covered her mouth,

“I did not just say that?” She asked with her hands still over her mouth. The man smiled at Botan and answered,

“I will give you a room, some currency, and coffee sounds great. But he cannot be here, I don't trust demons, guilty until proven innocent.” He glared at Hiei, hate vary visible in his crystal blue eyes.

“I can see you don't follow the same system as the government here does.” The man quirked a brow.

“How do you know about the US law system?” He seemed disgusted to say the least.

“I was there.” This was when Botan blurted out,

“Wow, Hiei your old.” Hiei sighed and turned around to head back out, but was stopped by Botan.

“Hiei wait, you can't just leave. I mean I'm supposed to go with you to find the demon.” She ran up behind him and he stopped.

“Botan, remember we're not going to search for the demon until we get a good idea of this place and where he might be. It's already too late to start now, we both need rest.”

“I thought you'd been here before?”

“It was a long time ago, and lot's of things have changed.”

“Then why are you leaving?” Hiei turned to face her and quirked a brow.

“I need to vent, that and I'm obviously not welcome here. I'll meet you outside in the morning. You stay and get as much information on where yokai go.” Botan nodded and then remembered what it was that Hiei meant by `vent'.

“Are you sure you'll be all right?”

“Onna, does it look like I was born yesterday?” As he said that he turned around and was out of there. Botan hadn't noticed but his fists had been balled up as he left. He was fighting an internal battle against his demonly desires. He needed to find a place to get through his rut and fast. He had told Botan that they would see each other again in the morning; it was a lie. He didn't want to be near anyone, not in the condition he was in.

He hadn't really cared to notice it but this place was a lot bigger than Japan and it was just a state, a single piece to an even bigger picture. In Japan everything was kind of crammed together, here there were more prairies and farmlands, a lot more open space, there was also a long coast along the west. California, that was what the sign had said when they were arriving at the airport.

He sighed, even though this place was bigger and it's population was a tad smaller than Japans, the humans were spread out. It was hard to find a place were he had enough space and there wasn't a ningen nearby. Then as he marched down a street to see if there was by any chance an abandoned building or tree where he could spend the night, he stepped on a piece of paper, it was a map. Out of ideas and running out of time he picked it up. There was a national park not to far from where he was now. And there were a lot of areas in that park were no humans had been in a long while, the areas were restricted to them. It was just what he needed.

He held his breath and hoped the map wasn't out of date. Then, faster than anyone could even care to notice a twelve year old looking guy walking around a vary dangerous part of town, he had vanished, or seemed to vanish, thanks to his incredible speed. By car it would have taken about two hours of driving, not including traffic, to get to the park. It took Hiei about fifteen minutes, he was faster than your average car, that and he had no need for roads. As the saying said: over the river and through the woods blab-blab something or other blah blah.

He was just halfway there and he could already sense that the map had been right, there were a lot of places where he could tell no ningens had been in a long while. It was perfect for him, there was only one problem; he knew Botan would try to look for him. Then a thought hit him, the talismans. He dug into his pockets; good they were still on him. There were a lot, but only two kinds, both were made to create energy domes. One was designed to hold and the other to hide. It was perfect for the situation he was in.

He continued to fission in and out of sight trying to look for a good amount of area. After a few minutes he found it. Surrounded by trees and well hidden on the mountainside. He stood in the center of the five-mile circle he had chosen. He then held the first set of talismans between his middle and index finger and chanted the words to activate the pieced of paper. It took about a minute for the talismans to absorb enough of his energy to perform their task, and then they flew in opposite directions forming the circle he had chosen. It took twice as long for the second and final set.

By the time the last set had formed the circle the talismans had drained more than two-third of his energy, and they would continue to drain more as more time passed. So right now Hiei stood in the middle of an invisible dome that was slowly draining his energy. He had put himself into a trap, the only one that could disarm the seals now was someone from the outside that knew the chant, and the only one who knew that was Botan. He planed to call her when his rut was over with the communicator she had given him.

With nothing better to do he began to walk around and explore the area where he would be spending the rest of his rut. His energy level had drained to that of a normal human by the time he had realized he had made a mistake. There in his sights, lit by the moonlight, was a house the size of a mansion in the center of a small flat clearing. No one was in it right now but he wasn't sure if anyone would be there later. He cursed as he felt his vision blur into black the last thing he saw, as he fell back was the start of a rainy night.

Even at the energy of average human he couldn't stay conscious, it gave hardly any energy to his slow beating heart that was still accustomed to the energy level of a demon, it would take a long time before it got used to that of a human. So what he needed was rest, whether he wanted it or not. Little did he know that the human owner of the house had stumbled onto him and took him home with it, thinking Hiei was a lost little girl. The first thing the stranger did when it got home was starting a warming fire and then it began stripping Hiei of his wet clothes.

 

Toni: Heh-heh! Stripping Hiei. ^///^ (Starts thinking naughty thoughts)

Kevan: Man we need to make one of these with Kurama! I want to see Kurama stripped! Yeah!

Toni: Well I don't know about another story with Kurama as the main character, but I do have a pairing for him in this one.

Kevan: Oh! Oh! Oh! Can we play another game where the readers have to guess who Kurama's paired up with?! Huh? Can we?! Can we?! Huh? Huh? Huh?!

Toni: For sure! Post your answer along with your review.

Kevan: Thanks people-sk.

Toni: See ya in the next chapter!

Both: Later-sk!
