Chapter 13


"How did he sneak up on us?" Hikori asked as he snatched up his sias.


"It was quite simple really," Chimera answered. "While you fools were so busy worrying about that woman, I snuck into the temple while my minions went down to keep your friends at bay. Considering how much time has passed, I would guess that they are doing a good job of stalling them."


"Bastard," Hiei cursed as he reached for the hilt of his sword.


"Are you going to try and hit me with that again?" Chimera asked. "You want have much luck."


"This isn't the same blade," Hiei answered and charged Chimera, slashing.


Chimera merely raised a hand, but it wasn't unprotected. With a loud clang, Hiei's sword hit Chimera's gauntlet covered hand. "Well, well, this is a new blade."


Hiei glanced at the blade, and knew that Hikori and Raimeihi must have been staring at it. The blade was black. Both it and the hilt were made of obsidian. What made the blade so interesting was what was around it. snaking around the blade was in the image of Hiei's black fire dragon, outlined in blue. It was most likely sapphire.


Chimera shoved Hiei away. "No matter what you use against me you won't be able to hit me. These gauntlets are made of the hardest substances in demon world. Nothing can break them."


Hiei attacked Chimera again, but it was to no avail. Chimera raised his hand again, but this time he didn't block Hiei's attack. Instead, he sent out waves of demon energy, sending Hiei flying backwards into Hikori and Raimeihi, knocking all three of them into the trees.


"Fools," Chimera smirked. He turned around and opened the door to the room, only to come face to face with Naoru. "Who are you?"


Naoru didn't say anything, she just stood in front of the door, her arms out and preventing entrance.


"Silly woman," Chimera said, "I've no quarrel with you, so be smart and stand aside." He reached out to shove her aside, but his clawed gauntlet was stopped by a very powerful force field. "What?"


"You will not touch Shiroi," Naoru said. "The child isn't yours, it's Hiei's. I will not allow you through this door."


Chimera glared at her, "Let me pass woman or I shall be forced to harm you as I did her."


Naoru's eyes widened, "You wouldn't dare."


"Try me," Chimera said with a wicked grin. A shout behind him made him turned around, just as Raimeihi attempted a strike with his long sword. "Didn't I tell you that it was impossible to his me?" he asked as he caught the blade.


"Get away from them," Raimeihi growled as he yanked his sword out of Chimera's grasp. "Every weapon has its weakness, and I'll find it." He charged Chimera again.


ooo


Hikori groaned as he sat up. "Ow..." he groaned. He turned to his father, whom was pulled himself to his feet by the use of his sword. "Are you okay?"


"I've been better," Hiei answered as he watched Raimeihi battle against Chimera.


"Do you think he has a chance against him?" Hikori asked.


"I don't know," Hiei answered.


The two watched as Chimera and Raimeihi fought. Chimera seemed to be keeping on the defensive, and would only attack every so often.


"Is he wearing Raimeihi down?" Hikori asked.


"It's possible," Hiei answered. "But Chimera's attacks aren't that powerful. Those gauntlets he wears seemed to be more for defense then for attack."


Hikori watched the fight. Hiei seemed to be right, until Chimera knocked Raimeihi's sword to the side and dug his clawed fingers into Raimeihi's side. He tore away, leaving several gashes in Raimeihi's side. He then spun and kicked Raimeihi off the raised walkway.


"Maybe they're not just for defense," Hikori gulped.


Hiei growled and ran out of the bushes where they had been sitting. He tried slashing at Chimera, but it still ended up like the last time. Chimera blocked the attack and shoved Hiei away.


Hikori watched his father fight Chimera. He noticed that Hiei wasn't moving as fast as he normally did. (Why is he moving so slowly)? He wondered. (He's not injured, that last attack from Chimera didn't even hurt me.) He thought for a second, and then realized something. (He must still be Pain Sharing with Mom!)


He felt a white-hot anger burning inside him. The feeling didn't feel quite right to him, so he suppressed it down and ignored it. He knew it wasn't a fair fight, but there was nothing fair about Chimera.


Suddenly Hiei faltered, and Chimera took that chance and backhanded Hiei to the ground.


"Dad!" Hikori jumped to his feet and ran at Chimera, his sias up and ready to attack.


Chimera turned around to face him, "Stupid boy." He grabbed Hikori's shirt when the boy was close enough and threw him towards the shrine.


Hikori landed on the stone walkway. He got painfully to his feet, staggering a little to stay standing. He could feel the anger inside him, demanding to get free. He continued to suppress it as Chimera approached.


"I don't want you dead boy," Chimera said. "The only way I can get the power from you that I want is to keep you alive."


"What power do I have that you want?" Hikori asked.


"The potential of the power that your mother possesses," Chimera answered. "In fact, I think I can sense that potential begging to be released right now."


(Is that was that is?) Hikori asked himself.


"Now," Chimera said, "Until you come quietly, I'll continue my onslaught. First I will start with your father. I'll kill him with these," he raised his clawed hands. "And then I'll go after that other fool that tried to kill me too. Then it will be that woman that blocked my entrance into the room. I'll torture her first, and have some fun with her before I kill her. I also noticed another young woman in there, I'll kill her too. And then I'll go after your mother. I'll rip that child out of her body if she hasn't already had it and leave her to die that way. If she has had it, then I will take both her, you and the child back to demon world and do as I please with her."


Hikori gripped his sias hard. The thought of Chimera killing his whole family made him sick. "You're sick," Hikori hissed. "I'll die, and take you with me, before there will be a chance of that happening."


"Brave words boy," Chimera said. "But I'm afraid I can't allow you to die, I've already explained why. Now, why don't you just make things easier on yourself and just give up?"


"Like I said," Hikori said as he released the anger inside him, "Over my dead body!" Power flooded through him, blinding him.


ooo


Hiei staggered up to where Hikori and Chimera were, and watched as Hikori released his power. "How can Hikori be able to do this?" he asked to no one.


"It's Shiroi's blood," came Raimeihi's voice.


Hiei turned to see the demon staggering toward him, holding his side as blood ran through his fingers. "What?"


"He has Shiroi's blood," Raimeihi answered. "Obviously he has the potential of gaining Shiroi's power. Of course now that potential has passed that stage. He has it, and he's releasing it to use against Chimera."


Hiei looked back at his son, whom was glowing with brilliant white energy. The power was still coming, not done transforming Hikori. "I just hope that it's not too much for him," Hiei said. "I don't want to lose anymore people than I have to today."


The brilliant light faded down to a glow, and Hikori's transformation became visible. His once black hair was now as white as Shiroi's. His violet eyes held anger in them. The energy he emitted was not only spiritual, but also demonic.


ooo


Hikori's vision returned. He felt a very strange feeling, a powerful feeling. He wasn't sure what the power had done to him, but now he felt that he could get rid of Chimera. He looked down at the sias in his hands, and realized that his mother had but a secret in them. Sending energy into them, he slammed the ends of the two hilts together. The weapons turned a bright, glowing white and changed. The end result, Hikori now held and sapphire blue staff, with the blades and prongs of his sias capped on each end. These too were sapphire blue.


"Ready to die?" Hikori asked Chimera. Without waiting for a reply he charged at Chimera. He shot at the demon like a bolt of lightening, and Chimera was barely able to get his hands up before Hikori swung his staff.


Hikori pulled away after his staff came in contact with Chimera's gauntlets. He jumped into the air, just high enough above Chimera's head, and slashed with the end of his staff.


Chimera raised his hands to block his face, but that wasn't where Hikori was aiming. Hikori cut through Chimera's right arm, severing it from his body at the shoulder. Chimera screamed in pain and rage. He tried striking Hikori with his remaining hand, but Hikori was too fast. The boy was back in the air before Chimera could blink. Hikori cut off his other arm and landed at Chimera's feet.


Once Chimera's other arm was gone, Hikori swung his staff and knocked Chimera's legs out from under him. As the demon fell, Hikori jumped again one last time. When Chimera hit the ground, Hikori threw his staff like a spear, and the bladed end speared into Chimera's chest.


Hikori landed next to Chimera as the demon's eyes faded, "You don't deserve this quick death," he said. "But this was the only thing I could do." He yanked out his staff and whipped it to the side, the blood flying off. Then Hikori suddenly changed back to normal, the signs of his power gone from view. The only thing left the showed his fight was Chimera's body and the staff that the boy still held.


Hikori looked back down at Chimera's body, got a sick look on his face, and back away several feet before falling over backwards with fatigue.


"Was that really Hikori?"


Hikori looked toward the steps, as did Hiei and Raimeihi. Everyone stood there, including Mitsuki, Keiko, Shiziru, and Botan. Yuseke had been the one that had spoken. They had arrived just as Hikori was knocking Chimera off his feet. They had watched the fight for the next few seconds until it ended.


"It was," Hiei answered as he came over to his son. He was moving stiffly, proving he was still in the process of Pain Sharing.


"So Hikori has Shiroi's potential," Kurama said. He noticed Hikori's weapon, "How did you get that?"


"Uh, this?" Hikori asked as he held the staff. "Well, they were actually sias that my mom made. Raimeihi was teaching me how to use them when Chimera showed up. When my potential was unlocked I transformed it into this. I think I know how to change it back, but I don't have the energy to do it right now." He looked back up at his godfather, hoping his answer was enough.


Kurama sighed, "Well, that's a lot of information in take in." He looked at the setting sun. "Sounds like it's been a long day for all of you."


"You have no idea," Hiei said. He turned in the direction where Shiroi was. "It's nowhere near over either."


"Right," Yuseke said, "We would have gotten here faster but Chimera had practically every minor demon in demon world on our asses, so there wasn't much else we could do until we got rid of all of them."


"How considerate of you," Hiei grumbled.


"Well Hiei would have rather had to deal with all of those demons along with Chimera?" Kurama asked. Hiei gave him a glare that would have made even Chimera pale. "I guess not." He noticed Raimeihi's injury. "Raimeihi, perhaps if you ask Botan very nicely, she might help you with your injuries."


Raimeihi glanced at Botan, whom looked like she didn't want anything to do with him. "I don't think she will agree no matter what I say."


"Just help him Botan," Hikori said suddenly, "He got Chimera away from my mom's room when Chimera was trying to get in."


"Don't underestimate Naoru," Raimeihi said, "She can create very powerful force fields. I'm sure she would have been able to hold him off long enough until your friends got here."


"Then I guess it was a good thing that you were around," Botan said as she approached him. "Naoru didn't have to waste all of that much needed energy."


"I'm sure Naoru will appreciate this Botan," Kurama said.


"Lets go," Hiei said irritably. He headed back to the room, everyone following behind him.


ooo


Author's Note: Bye-bye Chimera. Did you like my surprise? I've been thinking about that for a really long time. Now that Chimera's gone, not much to worry about right? Wrong. Find out in the next chapter. Review me and tell me what you think.
