A Warm Compassion | A Hiei Love Story

Seiryu vs Hiei

Hayami's POV

We kept running up some more stares of the tower until we found ourselves in an open room with 15 doors on the walls.

"What! You're kidding me." Yusuke said as he stared at the doors.

"Hn, it appears we have found a maze in maze castle." Hiei said,

"Well I guess that makes sense." Yusuke said,

"We must beware, it's something of a legend." Kurama said, "In the beginning before the barrier walls was erected around the city, hundreds of bounty hunters came and searched for the beast. None succeeded, but the beast never left their castle, letting anyone who enters forfeit their lives to this maze. There are fifteen doors, all but one leads to a dead end. There are no second attempts. Unavoidable traps lie in these incorrect passageways."

"So choosing a random door could just easily end our lives in an instant." Hayami said,

"Alright mr. sensitive. This one's all you." Yususke said to Kuwabara as he stared at each door until he stared at one door.

"Right there. The second door on the left." Kuwabara said,

"You heard the man, let's go." Yusuke said,

"How do we know he is not making a mistake?" Hiei asked,

"I'm sorry shorty, maybe it's not your thing but you just gotta have to trust me on this one." Kuwabara said as he walked in front of the door he chose. "I know, there's something big behind that door." He pushed it open, "Something scary."

I saw him looked down and he stumbled back, falling on his butt making a freaked sound. "AHHH!!! I HATE MICE!" He said,

"Gee Kuwabara and that speech of yours is getting so dramatic." Yusuke said sarcastically,

I sweat dropped and sighed as we all got in safely. No traps had been placed on us as we walked through the long hallway. At least Kuwabara chose the correct door. We finally got out of the long hallway as a thunder strike was made, showing us to where the next beast is. Both sides of the doors has dragon statues for intimidation.

"Are we supposed to be scared?" Hiei asked with a hint of anger.

"Perhaps. That is the mark of the blue dragon." Kurama said, "And judging by the odor, I say the beast is inside."

"Yeah and he doesn't feel very nice." Kuwabara said,

The doors then started to open, letting a small form of fog escape from the room. We all walked in to see the whole room is covered by fog.

'This fog feels cold and alive.' I thought sensing the energy coming from the fog.

The door closed behind us as we await for what's to happen next.

"This fog is alive." Kurama stated,

"Yes." Hiei agreed, "Must be a form of spirit energy coming from our beast's body."

"You have done well to have come this far." I voice was heard in the heart of the fog. "But I shall not allow you to disgrace my master."

"Where's that voice coming from?" Kuwabara asked as we all looked around for the beast.

"I don't know." Yusuke answered him, "Come our dragon! This hide n' seek game has gone pretty lame."

The fog then started to go in front of us as an explosion happened next, only to reveal the third saint beast.

"As you request." The beast said, starring at us.

"A giant!" Kuwabara said,

"You may call me Seiryu." The said beast introduced himself. "I am hear to end your lives intruders." He chuckled,
