She's Slowly Saving Me From Myself[Hiei][9]

Monster

Savage

Demon

Through out her child hood, these were the things Ceraza was called. With a glance you would never believe such things to be true. But in front of her lay Kaidou's body...or what remaind of it, so she couldn't help but think that maybe she was a Monster.

Because she enjoyed it

Hiei stood in a tree above the scene, he wasn't sure if Ceraza knew he was there, but quiet frankly he didn't care. What he had just witnessed made the young fire demon speachless.

"KouHei, send the Eidions back to Kisame. And tell that bastered that next time, send someone more of a challenge."

"Yes Master."

As KouHei dissapeard with the other Eidions, Ceraza was able to concentrate on the energy comeing from above her.

"What's wrong Hiei? Cat got your tounge?"

"Hn."

Hiei jumped down from the tree branch he was stood on and stood beside Ceraza looking at the bloody scene before them.

"So this is your ability"

"Two thirds of it. Yes"

Hiei looked at her from the corner of his eye for a while, Ceraza wasn't tierd, nor out of breath from using so much energy. Now Hiei found himself even more attracted to the red head, even though he was trying not too. Hiei found himself wanting to be around her, a lot more then needed and a lot more then the others, and if he wasen't with her physically then he was mentally. He quite often read her mind, and found himself thinking about her when he didn't.

Either way, his world suddenly revoled around Ceraza whether he realised it or not.

"And the rest?"

"All in good time Hiei. Besides, Don't want to ruin all the fun do we?"

"Hn. I'm impressed, you truely live up to the Asakura name" But this made Ceraza frown and Hiei noticed it.

"The blood in my vains as I carry that name, turns thinner than water. It means nothing to me" Hiei remaind silent, partly because he didn't know how to reply but also because KouHei had returned.

"Master, I have done as you have asked." Cerazas face softend towards KouHei, she nodded.

"Thank you KouHei, did everything run smoothly?"

"Yes. There were no complications."

"Good. You may rest." And with that KouHei dissapeared into energy and was asorbed back into Cerazas body. Ceraza and Hiei were silent for a moment before before she spoke.

"We should get going. We need to meet Yusuke and the others at the arena before the match begins" Hiei nodded his reply and they began to walk, leaving the bloody scene behind them.

/Scene change: With Yusuke and the others\\

"Ceraza, Hiei and Kurama will meet us here right?"

"Of course they will you idiot, they wouldn't let us fight alone"

"Uh yeah...right!" Kuwabara finished, but suddenly got rather nervous.

"Hey uremshi, did you hear something strange last night?"

"No, why?" Yusuke replied as he, Kuwabara and Genkai walked towards the arena through the underground tunnels.

"Well last night, I could have swore I heard strange noises coming from Cerazas room" This suddenly caught Genkais attention, her eyes fell onto Kuwabara as he continued to speak.

"Maybe she just got lucky?" Yusuke suggested with a smirk.

"I didn't mean like that you idiot! It sounded like..well, crying. And maybe even in pain"

"Ceraza? Crying? HA! No way! Ceraza is the toughest chick I know. Theres no way she'd be crying, maybe you was just dreaming?" Kuwabara thought for a moment before shaking his head.

"Yeah what ever. Anyway they better meet us here!"

/Scene change: Back with Ceraza and Hiei\\

After walking in silence for a while, Hiei suddenly collasped grabbing his arm in pain. Ceraza was immedetly by his side searching for the source of problem when her eyes fell onto his scortched arm. Realisation hit her of the fight before, how could she have been so stupid as to forget about it?

"Hiei, please. Let me see your arm" She went to touch it but Hiei pulled away.

"I'm fine" He grunted in pain.

"No you're not. Please let me help"

"I said I'm fine!"

"Damn it Hiei, your stubborness will only get you killed!"

"She's right Hiei" A new voice spoke from in a tree above. Ceraza and Hiei looked up to see Kurama stood there looking down at them.

"Is this wise Hiei?" He asked looking down on them.

"What do you mean?" Hiei asked, standing up now and pushing the pain aside.

"It won be easy to keep winnning without the use of your dominate hand perhaps you should withdraw? Or let Ceraza help you"

"Ha, you heard what Toguro said we don't have a choice. And I'm fine." Hiei turned to Ceraza

"So you don't need to be wasting your energy in healing my arm. Save it for when you get hurt"

Ceraza was about to open her mouth to reply but all three demons senced another presence coming towards them. They all turn there heads into the direction.

"If we don't make it through this tornoment he will kill us all." Ceraza standing inbetween Hiei and Kurama who had just jumped down ot of the tree.

"Fighting is our only way out" Hiei added as two demons made their way towards the three of them. They had long tails and looked like twins.

"It seems the doctors team has gotten lost" Kurama spoke carefully.

"Yes, what a horrible coincidence for us both" Spoke Hiei, sarcasim dripping from every word.

Ceraza remaind silent as she searched for the two lizard demons energy.
