Hiei sat up and rubbed his eyes, looking at Rika. "Good morning." Rika said to him.


Saphira looked at Rika "Is tonight the night your going to steel that jewel thingie?"

Rika stood, "Yes, and it's not a 'jewel thingie'. It's the Sages Stone."

Kisra looked at her. "Sages Stone? Sounds interesting."

Rika winked at her, "It is! A powerful gem, capable of many things." "Which is why we're going after it." Hiei said. "AND! Because it's stunningly beautiful." Rika said in dream land now.

Kisara burst out laughing. "She sounds like me!"

Rika's eye twitched in annoyance.

Saphira looked interrested, or sort of anyway "What does the Sages Stone do?"

It can increase the power of a spiritual spell. It's one of the stones I've been looking for." Rika said with a sly grin.

Ksiara grinned. "Thats cool." Jin looked up at Kisara. "Tha' all ya can say?"

Hiei watched the conversation go back and forth, not saying anything for it wasn't much of his busness to interven.

Saphira nods and just says, "Neat"

Rika looked at the sky, "After that...We gotta help Kisara. I was planing on resting up a bit before my next heighst, but I guess my plans have changed."

Ksira giggled. "Jin says I seem to change alot of people's plans." Jin looked up at her. "Mine 'ave chang'd too much."

Rika shook her head, "Shall we get going? It's going to be a while to the mountain, right?"

Kisara blinked. "Right..."

"So have should we get there? Flight, walking?" Rika questioned.

Kisra looked at her phoenix,and grinned. "Flight would be the fastest."

"Ok, then I should get Saremu out..." Rika said, thinking. Hiei looked at her, "Are you sure that's a good idea?" Rika shruged, "It's the only flying creature we have."

Saphira grinned and mummbled to herself, "Well i do have a reason to now....so i guess i could..."

Kisara's ears perked. "Saremu...?"

Rika looked at Kisara, "My dragon, Saremu."

Kisara gleed. "Dragon? Cool!!"

Rika cocked an eyebrow, "Uh, yeah, cool. All of you stand back, that includes you, Hiei." Rika said and Hiei took a few steps back as she said. Rika nodded and lifted her arms, high into the air. She closed her eyes and began to chant, "Hana du mo te em, kosh ehna du, du ku to mot eh em, hana kesh, hana kesh, naku naku naku NAKU NAKU DOSH HA DOSE HA MUSH!!" an aura spun around her as her hair whipped. Then clouds filled the sky and a hole formed of spinning clouds. "I COMMAND YOU TO COME!!" Rika sohuted. Then a giant, black, flaming claw emerged from the portal and grasped the edge of the clouds. Then another claw. Then came out a giant dragon head with huge razer sharp teeth and big red eyes. It pushed itself out and it had a long body with fiery spikes along it's back. It also had wings, nearly bigger then it's body. Finally the tail came out of the hole and the clouds closed up the hole. The dragon landed in front of the others. Rika grinned, "'Bout time, huh boy?"

Kisara grinned at the dragon. "Hi,Salem!!"

Hiei shook his head, "you don't have any OTHER flying creatures? What about the other, smaller dragons on the Mountain of Morning?" "Well they are less bulky..." Rika thought and Saremu snorted, resenting that, "But Saremu's the only dragon who'll listen to me is Saremu." Rika said.

Kisara kicked Jin for letting his mouth hang open. "Oy!! Whatcha do tha' fer?!" "Get on,Jin,I think we'll be leaving soon."

Rika looked back at them, "Right." Then she jumped up on the back of the dragon and so did Hiei. The body was too wide so they sat sideways on him.

Kisara looked at Saphira. "Do you have a ride,or do you wanna go with us?"

Saphira shoke her head "Nahh, i got one..." She closes her eyes and silently chants in her head and mist and stars swirl around her and all that fancy junk happens, and when it settles there stands a big, sapphire dragon, with huge wings, big green eyes, horns on its head, sharp claws, small sharp teeth and a long slender neck. She looks at them and snorts.

Kisara stared at the second dragon. "ooohhh....two dragons and a phoenix,this jsut gets better and better..."

"This has certanly proven to be an odd turn of events for my week..." Rika mumbled.

Kisara's ears twitched. "Really? That big of a change,huh?"

"Well normally people just don't change into cat demons or dragons in front of my eyes without battling me..." Rika said.

Kisara and Jin laughed. "I guess that would be different." They said at the same time.

Rika sighed and rolled her eyes, "Are we going to go yet!?"

Kisara looked at her. "You want me to lead?"

"Fine, I have no idea where we're going anyway." Rika said.

Ksiara nodded,and her Phoenix rose up in the air."

Saremu flapped his wings a few times and lifted off the ground. "Follow Kisara, Saremu." Rika commanded and Saremu did as told and followed the phoenix.

Saphira lifted off and followed the others.

While ridding on Saremu, Hiei put his arms around Rika and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Rika smiled, "What was that for?" Hiei shruged, "Just wanted to." Rika shook her head and cuddled up to him as Saremu continued into the sky.

Kisara yawned lazily,and laid down. "It's a ways to the mountains..."

"Figered that." Rika said.

Saphira sighed and wondered Great...hopefully i won't be flying for hours now... Yawns and glides along, flapping once in a while

Kisara looked ahead. "It should be about two hours...if not taht,a little longer. Can you keep on,Saphira?"

Rika yawned, "Saremu can...if you get tired you can always hop on his back."

Saphira can't really talk in her dragon form, so she just snorts and shakes her head as if saying "no thanks im fine"

Rika shruged, "Ok." "You can understand-Oh wait, you can talk to dragons...." Hiei said, thinknig.

They flew for awhile,and Kisara pointed up ahead. "Theres the mountains." She looked out to a bunch of ice-capped mounts growing in the distance.

Rika put her hand above her eyes as she looked out at the mountains, "Huh....I expected more...." Then she sat back, "Maybe 'cause I'm used to seeing the Mountains of Morning." Rika finished.

"Thats just the main set,this chain is mostly smaller mountains hiding behind taht bunch of big ones...its odd. Theres more big ones farther back,though..." Kisara said.

Rika sighed, "You want big, come see the Mountains of Morning. The run on further then the eye can see and tower higher then you could belive." She had her eyes closed and breathed in the air, "Ahh, I just love mountain settings." "Don't loose yourself." Hiei said and broke RIka out of her dreamy state.

Kisara closed ehr eyes in a slightly annoyed state. "I was just trying to make you feel a little better about them..." She muttered under her breath. Jin looked down at her. "Ya help too much."

Rika rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Kisara pated Keptkash's feathery side. "Start descending,Keptkash..." The giant phoenix nodded with a small sound that sounded like somewhat of a screech,and she started to go downward.

Rika's eyes shifted quickly over to her and she spun around to face the back of Saremu's head, "SAREMU! DESCEND!" The dragon nodded and followed Keptkash down.
