Well, here it is folks! I do not own anything besides my story concept and OCs. So I hope you enjoy and review!

The ground was covered in a thick blanket of white and the trees were bare. Three months. Three months with no word or lead. It was as if the once tight group had now split. Keiko was now almost five months pregnant with a baby boy. Cora usually took to herself in her once sister's room. She knew something had gone wrong. There was no way Cole would leave her for this long. Hiei mostly stayed in his room. Kurama had noticed the once vibrant glow in his friends eyes had now faded into a hollow, lifeless stare. He had tried talking to him; however, Hiei being Hiei there was 'no feeling in him.'

Cora walked out onto the porch with a blanket wrapped tightly around her. Without Cole running around like and idiot the grounds were hauntingly quiet. It was almost as if the wildlife had stopped living because of her absence. She had not sung in three months. It just didn't feel right. She closed her eyes and breathed in the icy air. "Come on sis, tell me where you are," she whispered desperately.

Keiko appeared a few moments later with a cup of hot chocolate. She smiled softly, "Here girl. It's too cold out to be just standing here."

Cora smiled and sipped the hot beverage. "Did you sleep any better last night?"

"Yeah. He didn't kick as much."

"Good."

"Where is Kurama?"

"He went to see Koenma." She looked to her friend, "He's worried about Hiei."

Keiko furrowed her brows, "What do you mean?"

Cora sighed, "Well, Kurama says he is losing energy. He thinks it's because of a broken heart."

"But you think it's something else?"

"When the guardian of a fallen angel starts losing energy, it's because the angel is pulling it from them," she swallowed, "So basically, shit is happening and she's having to take energy to survive."

"Oh. Will it kill him?"

She shook her head, "No. But it will weaken him substantially."

Yusuke popped his head out, "Hey, we need to head to Keonma's. I think he's found something."

Cora was inside in a flash. A portal appeared and everyone besides Keiko went through. When they came out they saw Kurama pacing. Cora knew something was up.

"Ok. All of you take a seat, we have a lot to discuss." Koenma spun around in his chair. They all sat and waited as patiently as they could. He cleared his throat, "Now, remember we told of you the illegal fighting and smuggling? Well, some of my agents are on the inside and we found Cole, or at least what used to be her."

"What do you mean used to be?" Yusuke worriedly asked.

"They apparently cut the tattoo off of her arm and started making her fight with the use of a collar."

Cora covered her mouth, "Oh God, she went rouge didn't she?"

He sighed and nodded. "She is still there…but barely."

Cora stood and started pacing, "We can save her. As long as a part of her is still there, we can teach her to be normal and put the seal back on. I want to see her."

Koenma smiled, "I thought so. He held up four tickets, "I bought these for you guys. They are tickets to her fight. At the end of the fight, you can go back stage and try to buy her. However she will not be cheap so I am sending a large amount of money with you."

Cora walked up to the small ruler and hugged him. "You have no idea how happy you have just made me."

He hugged her back and smiled, "Just bring the poor girl home."

She took the tickets and studied them carefully. "The fight is today."

Koenma nodded, "Yes it is, so you better get going. I'm giving a portal that will put you near the location. Just call when it's time to bring her home."

They all nodded and anxiously went through the portal. When they stepped through the other side, they were in a thick wooded forest.

"Which way do we go?" Yusuke hastily asked. He was ready to bring his sister home.

Cora closed her eyes and try to feel for Cole's energy. She opened her eyes and pointed north, "That way." She began walking quickly. Her sister's energy had completely changed. It was dark and lifeless. Not like the usual warm but deadly energy. They were so close to losing her.

A few moments later, they came upon a large stone building that was surrounded with an iron fence. The doors were steel and had huge iron boys stopped to look as Cora pushed through, "What the hell are you doing?"

They merely looked at her as she opened the gate and stepped through. They silently followed her up to the door. A large man walked out and held out his hand, "Ello puppet, tickets please." He looked her up and down ravishingly. Kurama walked up to her and wrapped an arm around her waist. His eyes were gold. The large man chuckled warmly, "I believe I was mistaken, sir."

"Yes," Kurama's eyes turned back green, "you were."

Cora cleared her throat, "Can we go in now?"

The big man smiled and moved aside, "So anxious to see something so gruesome?"

"Yes," Cora faked a smile, "I hear it's quit the show."

They walked in to see a large circle stadium. The risers almost reached the ceiling and were made of steel. The ring was lower than the ground by about three feet and had a thick cage around it. Cora let out a shaky breath. This was awful. Her sister should not have been put in this position. She looked over to Hiei to see regret in his eyes. He had told Cora he didn't mean for this to happen; however, it didn't change the face that it had.

"Well, all we can do is get our seats and wait." Kurama instructed. They sat down close to the ring and waited. The first fight had already started. Two males were fighting for their life. One demon and one fallen angel. The once angel was rouge. His body had the Markings of the Damned. They were a sign of a lost soul. His eyes were completely black and emotionless.

The demon was not holding his own very well. He was bleeding all over and was desperate to win. Once you lost, you were dead. It was always a fight to the death. They watched the fight intently. The angel was clearly not trying too hard. It was almost as if he didn't want to kill.

"He's not gone all the way yet," the boys looked to Cora in confusion, "he's not trying hard enough. He's holding back. If he wanted, this fight would already be over."

"So do you think they are keeping them this way on purpose?" Yusuke asked.

"Probably, a fully rouge angel is really tough to control. It would have to be worth it for them to lose it completely."

Their attention turned when the announcer called the winner. The angel stood looking down at his fallen opponent. He then bent down and place two pennies on his eyes. When he stood back up, he looked to Cora and nodded silently. She did the same. Kurama raised an eyebrow, "What does that mean?"

She sighed, "I knew him once. A long time ago. They sent him out of heaven right before he ascended."

She looked down at her hands and then to Kurama. Her eyes were tear filled, "If Cole is next, she will have to fight and kill him."

"If this is all too much for you, I want you to know you can leave," Kurama assured his love.

She gave him a blank look, "If you think I'm leaving then you are stupid."

He merely chuckled and Yusuke smiled. She was tough for her gentle nature.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, today you are privilege to see a great match. Our champion, Honey will be facing this new comer," the ring master pointed to the angel already in the ring. The metal steel door opened and Cora gasped and covered her mouth. Yusuke fought back tears and tried to keep himself under control. Hiei felt like a knife was in his heart. He had done this to her and now he had to make it right…
