Chapter 1
Smothered
Hiei was treading through a dark tunnel. He had gotten word that his sister had been kidnapped along with some other Koorimes. He had admitted that he was Yukina's brother a couple months back. Now he was on his way with Koenma's directions. Hiei looked at the map again. The he turned it upside down confused. He muttered something about a 'stupid toddler' and threw the map on the ground. Hiei looked ahead and opened his Jagon. Then he ran forward.
The fire demon burst through a door that opened to a huge room. There was a metal bed in the center with all sorts of torture instruments surrounding it. Hiei walked up to it and cocked his head slightly. He noticed there was blood on the metal slab and tools. A shiver went up Hiei's spine and he turned from the bed. He had realized that it was somewhat familiar. He heard a muffled scream turning him towards a shadowed wall. Some one walked out of the shadow. Hiei's eye widened and he took a step back.
The demon smiled and pushed a button that turned on all the lights. Behind him Yukina was hanging from the wall with Ruri and the elders. Hiei eyes angled slightly. Their mouths were taped so they could not talk.
"Were are the other spirit detectives?" He said smiling slightly.
"You planned this. You knew they wouldn't be able to come. You knew they were busy with something else and you knew I would come, Yoto." Hiei growled. Yoto smirked.
"Well now that everyone is here lets get the party started." Yoto said walking over to the girls and ripping off the tape.
"Brother!" Hiei looked over at Yukina. Her cloths were torn but other than that she looked fine. Yoto held a knife to Yukina's neck.
"Put this on Forbidden Child!" He said throwing something at him. "Of else I kill your precious sister right here right now." Hiei picked up the ward. "Around you're neck! Also take off your sword and kick it over here." Hiei lifted it at wrapped it around his neck. He energy level dropped. Hiei shivered not realizing how cold the room was. His ki had been keeping him warm now with none he was freezing. Then Hiei set his kanta on the ground and kicked it to Yoto. Yoto bent down and picked it up. "Good...good." He let go of Yukina. The elders were quietly whispering to each other. "Well well well Hiei here we are again. Look at our audience this time. The people who threw you away and killed your mother and...your beloved sister."
"That's not true!" Ruri shouted. "She only died because she thought she would get to see her son again! She left her daughter with me. I loved her like my own and so did she but she didn't want her son to be alone..." She was cut off with a slap.
"Shut up bitch!"
"Don't hit her." Hiei growled. Yoto smirked and walked over to Hiei.
"And what are YOU going to do about it? Huh boy." Hiei looked away. "That's what I thought." He bent down and slugged Hiei in the stomach. The fire demon fell to his knees holding his stomach. Blood slowly dripped from his lips. Hiei slowly reached up and whiped it away.
"You stupid stupid boy." Yoto muttered. "Ok here's the deal. You get to choose Forbidden One. I can either hurt you or one of them that's how it will work. Got it!" Hiei only nodded slightly. The elders looked worried at each other. They were sure Hiei would have Yoto hurt them because of what they had done to him. "Good Good." Yoto walked over to the Koorimes and untied them. "Alright follow me." Yukina ran over to her brother and helped him up. They walked down a tunnel to a dungeon. Yoto smirked and opened the cell. "I wouldn't try to get out. You all have wards on so you can't use any of your powers and if you try to escape you will be knocked out." He shoved them into the cell.
Hiei walked over to a wall banged his fist against it. "Damn it." He growled. Then he turned around and leaned against it and slumped to the floor.
"Brother?" Yukina whispered tears in her eyes. "What's going to happen to us?" Hiei looked up at his sister. Then he patted the ground next to him. Yukina walked over and sat next to Hiei. Hiei wrapped his arm around her.
"I honestly don't know but I won't let anything happen to any of you." Hiei whispered. Yukina smiled slightly. "Don't worry we'll find a way out." Hiei looked out through the bars. "Just get some sleep." Ruri smiled at the siblings.
That morning Hiei was the first to wake. Yukina's head was lying in his lap. Hiei smiled slightly and gently ran his hand through her sea green hair. He looked over and saw Ruri and the elders huddled up together. Hiei's attention snapped to the door when he heard the rusty squeak.
"How sweet I bet there dreaming of wonderful things." Yoto said smirking. "So boy who is going to be my first victim?" Hiei slowly got up lifting Yukina carefully as to not wake her. Then he carried her over to Ruri and laid her in Ruri's lap. Ruri opened her eyes slightly. Hiei put a finger up to his lips telling her to be quiet and go back to sleep. Then he got up and walked out with Yoto.
Yoto smirked and led Hiei over to the steel bed. "Are you ready?" Hiei climbed on the bed and laid down. Yoto wrapped Hiei in leather straps and pulled them tight. "Fun fun fun. What to do with you?" Yoto walked over to a huge stove. He put some gloves on and held his sword in the fire. Once it turned red he brought it over to Hiei. "Oh we are going to have so much fun." He held it close to Hiei left leg. Hiei braced himself. Yoto slowly dragged it across his leg leaving a blistering wound. Yoto's laugh mingled with Hiei's painful screams echoed through the whole tower.
Three hours later Yoto unstrained Hiei and told him to get up. Hiei struggled to rise. Favoring his bad leg he limped behind Yoto. Yoto smirked as they reached the cell. Yukina was standing next to the door. The elders hung in the back with Ruri. Hiei kept his head down as he entered the cell. Yukina wrapped her arms around him as he collapsed to the floor.
"Better wake him up. I'll be back in 5 hours to give you your food and I expect him to be awake. Got it?" Yoto growled. Yukina nodded and hugged Hiei close. Once he left Ruri came over and lifted Hiei.
"What do you think happened?" Yukina said sobbing. "I...I heard his screams." Ruri nodded. She saw blood soaking through his pant leg. Ruri slowly lifted the cloth to revel the blistered and beaten leg. Yukina gasped and the rest looked upon in shock. Hiei hissed as Ruri tried to get him to sit up. Paling Ruri lifted the boy's shirt. Whip marks littered Hiei's skin. Most broke the skin and were glaring out at them. "They hurt him so bad. I wish I could heal him." Yukina said sobbing on Hiei's hand.
Five hours had quickly passed. They had decided to let Hiei sleep for a while.
"Hiei?" Yukina said softly while gently shaking Hiei. Hiei mumbled something and swatted Yukina away. Yukina smiled slightly. "Brother it's time to get up." Hiei moaned but opened his eyes slightly and looked up into Yukina's bright red eyes.
"How long have I been out?" Hiei asked rubbing his head.
"Only about 5 hours." Hiei attempted to sit up and Yukina hurriedly helped him.
"Oh. Great." Hiei said sitting with the help of his sister.
"Are you feeling any better?" Yukina asked worried. Hiei smiled at his sister.
"I'm fine." The squeak of the cell door caught everyone's attention.
"Well well well look who's up." Yoto said smirking. Hiei only glared at him. "I've brought you some treats." Yoto threw a first aid kit at Hiei. "Can't have my little play toy getting sick now can we." Hiei growled. "Here is your food. I will only bring you one serving a day so if I were you I'd eat it all." Yoto walked over to Hiei and lifted him up by the collar. Hiei hissed in pain and discomfort. "You were so good today. I love hearing you scream. But you know I'll also enjoy their screams that is if you let me." Yoto dropped Hiei and turned to leave. "I will be back in 2 hours to have a little more fun." Then he left without another word. Ruri walked over to Hiei and helped Yukina patch Hiei up. Then they quietly ate their meal.
