Hiei in RainbowLand: Part 15 [End]

By tiggerola

Two Dragons of the Darkness Flame fly around each other in the cavern, Murky on the head of one and Hiei on top of the other, Yukina and Shy Violet are almost to the passage around the cave they hold onto each other as they start to run, as they reach the passage, Kurama speaks telepathically to Shy Violet

Kurama’s Voice: Violet! You must stay there!

Shy Violet stops and Yukina looks at her questionably

Shy Violet: But Hiei told me…

Kurama’s Voice: I know Hiei, he won’t allow either you nor Yukina to get hurt. You have the color crystals, use them.

Shy Violet: *looks firm* Right! *to Yukina* We need to help Hiei!

Yukina: Yes!

Lurky: Duh…not so fast!

Shy Violet & Yukina: AHHHH!

Lurky: Doh boy! ^^ Murky is going to be proud of me for stopping you girls! *grabs them by the fabric of their shoulders and picks them up* ^^ You wouldn’t want to miss the party now?

Yukina: Please let go, that hurts!

Lurky: Wha-It does? Oh *puts them down* sorry.

Yukina: Thank you, how did such a gentleman as yourself end up working for a mean person?

Lurky: Duh ^///^ *kicking his toes over the ground* Gosh, I ain’t really a gentlermen…

Yukina: You could have fooled me ^.~

Lurky: ^////^ Doh-ho-ho.

Shy Violet: o.O … *Thinks: Well, it seems to have distracted him, I must get to Hiei*

Loosing battle theme music from YYH plays in the background

Murky: You catch on quickly, but it won’t be enough to stop me!

Hiei: Ironic words coming from yourself!

Murky: Don’t you see that your dragon cannot defeat mine! Even if you used the special concoction…

Hiei: *smirks* What makes you think that?

Murky: If you were to unleash its full furry you would hurt your little friends! Not you nor that Rainbow Brat will stop me this time! *horsey manical laugh*

Shy Violet: HIEI!!!

Hiei: *looks down at Shy Violet and gasp* Get Yukina out of here right away!

Shy Violet: No! Let me join you, I can help!

Hiei: It’s too dangerous, get out!

Murky: Perhaps I should start with her! *steers his Dragon towards Shy Violet*

Hiei: Grrr…DON’T YOU DARE! *steers his Dragon around to cut off Murky*

Shy Violet: *seeing a Dragon heading towards her* AAAHHHH OH NO!

The heads of the two Dragons collide emitting an energy wave, Shy Violet is stunned then shakes her head and runs over to the chair that Yukina was tied to and stands on it

Hiei: Obviously you are not more powerful either.

Shy Violet: Hiei! Over here!

Hiei: *steers the Dragon close enough to grab her hand with his free hand and pull her on beside him* You fool! Are you trying to get yourself killed?

Both Dragons fly around each other continually colliding and jerking, emitting more power waves that rumbles the cavern walls {Grunts and breaks in speech due to the collisions of the dragons have been omitted for reading simplicity}

Shy Violet: Yukina is fine, Lurky won’t hurt her.

Hiei: But Murky or I might, even on accident. That’s why I needed you to get her out of here.

Shy Violet: I’m sorry, Kurama said…

Hiei: Forget what Kurama said! It’s too late now anyway. If Yukina can’t get away from us, we’ll have to get away from her!

Shy Violet: But How?

Hiei: The same way the Dragon came in…notice the ceiling? It’s glass from the sudden heat of the Dragon coming through followed by the rapid cooling of a lake overhead.

Shy Violet: Oh, there is a lake behind the mountain, that must be where we are under, but it also must be what eventually extinguished the Dragon before…we’ll end up drowning if we go out that way!

Hiei: We have no other choice.

Shy Violet: Yes we do! *pulls out color crystals* Kurama decided that you may need these!

Hiei: This is NO time for a joke!

Shy Violet: I’m not joking! HEY MURKY! I bet you can’t catch us!

Murky: You’re challenging me? Ha! I’ll take out you, your dragon, and then the rest of those Color Brats!

Shy Violet: *to Hiei* Now you can speed up enough to break through the ceiling, if Murky is right behind us, he’ll be able to get through and the ceiling should again seal without letting the lake in down here! *places the crystals on the head of the Dragon and puts hands on top while the Dragon absorbs the energy* Trust me.

Hiei: *scowls then face grows calm* I trust you.

Lurky: Look Murky! A pretty rainbow!

Murky: Can it Rutabaga breath! Grab the girl and get on!

Lurky: Duh ok! *picks up Yukina* Sorry Miss, but you’ll be ok!

Yukina: Oh please, you don’t have to do this!

Murky brings the Dragon down for Lurky to jump on w/ Yukina on his back

Shy Violet: Get ready…NOW!

Hiei’s Dragon gains a Rainbow Aura as Hiei steers straight up and through the ceiling, Murky trailing close behind, they shoot through water for a brief moment then emerge into a bright but dismal valley

Hiei: *looking behind* Shoot! He still has Yukina with him, and now we’re out of your crystals too.

Rainbow Brite: I can help with that!

Shy Violet: Rainbow! ^_______^ You’re here!

Hiei: Heh, And none too soon.

Murky: Perfect! Thank you for saving me the trouble of going to you!

Rainbow Brite: Stormy! Provide a distraction! Krys! Go and get Ice Gem back!

Stormy: My pleasure! *clouds emerge and rumble under Stormy and Skydancer in the sky as she summons an electrical storm*

Krys: I’m on it Rainbow! *flies Onyx near Murky and Lurky*

Rainbow Brite: And as for you Black Night…help unite all the colors of the rainbow!

Hiei: *nods* I’m ready

Rainbow presses her Color Belt and letting out a rainbow that goes towards Hiei’s Dragon and merges with it becoming a bright and fearsome colorful Dragon that absorbs energy from the electrical waves from Stormy’s clouds

Lurky: Look Murky! A REALLY purdy Rainbow! @.@

Krys swoops by and picks Yukina off of Lurky’s shoulder, with Yukina away from danger Hiei leads his Rainbow Dragon head on against Murky, upon collision the Rainbow Dragon consumes Murky’s Dragon and the overwhelming power explodes into a color outburst that sends color back all through RainbowLand, Murky, Lurky, Hiei, and Shy Violet fall towards the lake but Lurky lands on Onyx, behind Yukina and Krys, Hiei grabs Shy while Stormy catches them on Skydancer’s back, and Murky ends up hanging by his cloak that is clenched between Starlight’s teeth

Rainbow Brite: I hope you learned your lesson Murky Dismal!

Murky: Oh *gives a annoyed look of surrender*

Krys: Yeah! We did it!

Rainbow Brite: Yes we did! And thanks to Black Night too!

Stormy: Shall we return to the castle?

Krys: And let’s have a party!

That night the castle is full of light and excitement, music and chattering are everywhere within {and might I add that Lurky is having the time of his life dancing}, Hiei steps outside for some fresh air, he walks while gazing at the stars, he stops and turns when he hears a twig snap behind him

Hiei: What are you doing out here?

Shy Violet: Um ^/////^ I was wondering where you were going…

Hiei: You could have just asked.

Shy Violet: VoV I’m sorry.

Hiei: Don’t be…its easier to concentrate away from all that noise anyway.

Shy Violet: So you just needed a break from the party?

Hiei: *turns away* I don’t plan to return.

Shy Violet: You’re not? Why?

Hiei: *turns head back w/ almost a smile* You are the way you are and I am the way I am. This is you’re world, not mine. I’m setting out to find a way back home.

Shy Violet: Oh. But it’s late, at least stay the night and set out after breakfast.

Hiei: *scoffs* And another ‘rainbow bath’? I don’t think so. I’m comfortable in trees and there’s plenty out here if I need to rest.

Shy Violet: What about the other demons? Will they go? You can leave together.

Hiei: Whether they go or stay is their choice, but I’m done being here.

Shy Violet: Then…this is really goodbye?

Hiei: Yes…I suppose it is.

Shy Violet: Before you go…I want to say thank you…Thank you for visiting, and helping us restore the color after you tried to destroy it. Demon or not, you are really a good person at heart.

Hiei: *puts hand on Shy Violet’s shoulder* I must say thank you too, for making an effort to understand. But…Ah! *shakes head* I can’t stay here any longer; this place is making me weak. Goodbye! *walks a few steps away*

Shy Violet: Wait!

Hiei: What now -_-+

Shy Violet: I have your tear gem to remember all of you by…please *picks a violet from the ground* take something so you won’t forget us.

Hiei: *turns back to see Shy Violet blush as she hands him the flower* O_O; *stands a moment then grabs the flower and shoves it in his pocket and half-smiles to Shy Violet* You’re a fool.

Hiei continues his journey into a forest, when he gets tired he hops into a tree, upon waking he finds himself in the tree that he was in before he visited RainbowLand

Hiei: *looks around and is comforted by the familiar surroundings* A dream…only a hideous nightmare *jumps onto the ground and sticks his hands in his pockets* huh? *looks down and brings hand out of pocket, holding a violet flower*
