Chapter 7


Hiei raced through a desert in Demon World. He had been there for only a short time, but he had looked everywhere else. It had been almost a year since Hikori and Shiroi had gone missing, and Demon World was the last place they could possibly be.


Everyone had wanted to come and help Hiei search, but it had been hard enough to get Koenma to allow Hiei to go into Demon World, let alone the whole group. Hiei was glad that none of them had been able to come with him; they would have slowed him down.


He had been in Demon World for three days now. He knew that it would take him a long time to search all of Demon World, and he hoped he wouldn't have to do that.


After a few hours of running, he stopped in the shade of some tall boulders. He searched for any trace of Hikori or Shiroi's energies with his Jagan, but so far he had no luck.


He sighed and retied the bandana. "Where are they?" he muttered.


"Where are who, Shorty?" came a voice behind Hiei.


Hiei looked over his shoulder to see a low level demon only a few feet away. "What do you want?" Hiei growled.


"I've never seen someone like you in these parts before," the demon said. "It's obvious you don't know the rules of this place."


"If you want to keep your life," Hiei said, "Then keep your distance from me. I'm in no mood for games, let alone morons like you."


The demon glared at him, "I think you need to be taught some respect, right boys?" More demons, all of low-level power and intelligence, came into view. "I hope you're in the mood for some pain," said the first demon, " because you're about to get a lot of it."


"Don't waste my time," Hiei muttered as he walked away from them.


"Lets get him!" yelled the demon. The hoard charged.


Hiei stopped and looked over his shoulder again, "Fools," he muttered. Faster than then demons could blink, Hiei slashed. The bodies fell into the sand, cut in half. "What a waste of time," Hiei grumbled and went to sheath his sword, but noticed something. The blood of the demons that would have normally slipped right off the blade was still there.


Hiei whipped the blade back and forth, trying to whip the blood off. All he succeeded in doing was creating various colored streaks of blood on the clear blade. "What's happening?" He asked aloud. He tore off a handful of cloth off of one of the demons and used it to clean off the blade. When it was clean, he held it up to the sun to make sure he hadn't missed anything, and careful not to burn his eyes out in the process.


The blade was clean, but something didn't seem right about it. He wanted to test it to make sure it was okay, but the thought of wasting more time made Hiei choose against it. He sheathed it and raced off into the desert again.

Hikori glared at Chimera. Since had come to the demon lord's domain, he had acted as a servant. He had to do whatever Chimera commanded, and if he didn't, Shiroi would pay the price. He had only ignored Chimera's orders once, and as a result, he had been forced to watch as Chimera brutally beat and raped Shiroi.


Since then, Hikori had willfully obeyed Chimera. But he even though he obeyed Chimera, he knew that the evil demon still used Shiroi as his sexual plaything. He couldn't do anything about. He hadn't even seen Shiroi. The last time he had seen her was when Chimera had been showing off his prize to another demon lord, but that had been a long time ago, almost ten months ago.


Speaking of demon lords, Hikori was looking over the room that was full of them. The demon lord Chimera was having a gathering of other demon lords and ladies. Hikori had no clue why, and he figured that there would at least be two deaths that night, and he wasn't talking about himself and Shiroi.


He waited for Chimera to dismiss him for the time being, and when the demon did, Hikori left the room they were in headed down a hall. He wanted to find Shiroi. He'd been searching the castle for the past month and a half, trying to fin the room she was imprisoned in. He still had half of the castle to go, and some of the rooms he had already tried had been, so he very well could have missed her already.


Tonight though, he would be trying something different. He had been able to scrounge a piece of metal while cleaning a storage room. It was long and thin, like an uncurled paper clip, only stronger. He had twisted it and hidden it in his shoe. Having the annoyance of it rubbing painfully against his foot was a small price to pay.


He reached a room on of the better-kept floors. He had found a room a few nights before that could have possibly held Shiroi. He tried the knob first. Locked, of course. Now he pulled out the coil of metal and unwound it. He bent it into a shape that might undo the lock and tried picking the lock. It wasn't easy, and he had to keep a constant ear out for guards.


Finally, after almost half an hour of different ways of picking the lock, Hikori heard the click of the lock being undone. He grinned and stowed his lock pick away. He slowly opened the door and slipped inside. He closed the door behind him. The room was dark, so he strained his hearing to make sure if there was anything alive in the room. When he heard nothing but silence, he reached along the wall for a light switch. He found one, and flipped on the lights.


He made a face at the rooms contents. Nothing but boxes, but what was in them Hikori did not want to find out. He looked around the to see if anything important was hidden, and he was glad he looked. He found a door, almost concealed by boxes. He tried the knob, and was surprised to find it unlocked.


He pushed the door open a crack and peered through. There was light on the other side. He looked harder and realized it was some sort of bedroom. He pushed the door farther open and stuck his head in. A quick look around confirmed it was a bedroom, and it was occupied. He ducked behind the door, hoping it wasn't an acquaintance of Chimera. Of course, it was hard to see who or what the occupant was, because it was shrouded in blankets and bed sheets.


Hikori peeked around the door again and tried to make who the occupant might be. The door creaked, and Hikori froze. The occupant shifted, pulling the blankets down slightly. When Hikori saw the white hair, he had to keep himself from yelling. He instead slipped into the room and closed the door, locking it behind him. He slunk around the bed and peeked around it to try and see the person's face. He could barely see it with all of the blankets, but he was able to see enough. It was Shiroi.


Hikori glanced around to make sure no one else was in the room, and then got up and went to his mother's side. He reached out and gently shook her. "Mom. Mom, wake up, it's me."


Shiroi's eyes fluttered open and she blinked a few times. When her eyes focused she stared at Hikori for a moment, seeming not to believe what she saw. "Hikori? Is it really you?"


Hikori nodded, "Yeah. I've been looking for you for over a month and half. I was finally able to pick that lock and get here through the storage room."


"I can't imagine what Chimera's had you doing before this," Shiroi said.


"Probably not nearly as bad as what you've been through," Hikori pointed out. "I wish Dad were here. He'd beat Chimera to a pulp."


"That's not all he would do," Shiroi said as she started to sit up.


"What do you mean?" Hikori asked, and then gasped at what he saw. He knew right away what Chimera had been doing to Shiroi, and now he fought to keep the bile in his throat from coming out. Shiroi looked, and mostly like was, in the late stages of pregnancy. "But I thought you couldn't?"


Shiroi nodded sadly. "Everyone did. I have no idea how Chimera managed this. This is where he's kept me since it happened."


Hikori shook with anger and disgust. "What does Chimera want with it?"


"An heir," Shiroi answered. "Why else would he have done? I can't do anything to stop it, not now. All I can hope for is that it's not a demon, and not of my kind."


Hikori nodded, he knew the concept of his mother's kind. "What's keeping you in here though? All of the doors lock from the inside so it's impossible for him to lock you in."


Shiroi sighed, "He's hurt me to a point where I am to weak to move."


Hikori gulped. "I don't like the sound of that."


Shiroi shook her head. Suddenly her head perked up, like she was listening to something. She grabbed Hikori's shoulder, "Quick, hide under the bed. Chimera's coming." Hikori dove under the bed as Shiroi made it appear as thought she'd been asleep the whole time.


Hikori heard the door opened and the sound of Chimera coming in.


"How are you doing?" Chimera asked kindly. "Any signs yet?"


"No Lord Chimera," Shiroi answered.


Hikori heard silence for a second, and then the sound of a slap. He resisted the urge to jump out and strangle Chimera.


"Lying won't help you," Chimera said. "But you do already know that." His tone changed to threatening. "I will have that child soon, even if it means ripping it out of your body." The sounds of footsteps leaving the room, and then the door slammed shut.


Hikori peered out from under the bed. He crawled out and stood up, "I must wonder if that was his good mood." He turned to his mother, "Are you okay?"


Shiroi nodded, "Though you know I've been better."


Hikori nodded. He looked around the room, "I wish there was some way to get out of here."


"I've looked," Shiroi said. "The only way to get out of here is to use the front door. For us that's impossible, not with these collars on."


Hikori sighed and sat down on the bed, but jumped back up when he heard a crash.

Author's Note: I finally got over my writer's block for this. Sorry it took so long. Rather nasty little turn of events, the next chapter should be interesting. Review me and tell me what you think.
