A Trio of Trouble


Disclaimer: Don't own, don't sue, don't bother. I don't know where this is going. Thisis my very FIRST YYH fic, so be nice in the reviews, if you leave any, please. And remember people, there IS a line between constructive criticism and flames/destructive criticism. A very THIN line.


Yuusuke opened his eyes to see Kurama looking right back at him. The thing was, Kurama appeared to be upside down. "Kurama, why are you standing upside down?"

"Actually," the fox told him,"you're the one hanging upside down."

Yuusuke was going to reply until he finally registered the blood rushing to his head, giving him a headache. "Then get me down!" After a moment, he asked, "Andwhy am I even up here?"

A low, mocking voice answered him. "Do you not remember?" The detective instantly knew who it was. Hiei stepped into view, proving his assumption.

"No.Should I?"

Hiei snorted disdainfully. "I wouldn't. As embarrassing as it looked for you two."

"Two who?"

Kurama calmly pointed to Yuusuke's right. Hanging upside down, next to him, was Kuwabara. "Why is he up here?"

"The same reason you are genius." Hiei prodded Kuwabara with the handle of his katana and jumped away as the orange-haired fighter woke up and swung at him. "Careful," his tone mocking, "wouldn't want to fall, now would you?"

Kuwabara looked down and saw the floor. "Huh! Why am I hanging here? You did this, didn't you short-stuff?"

The orange-haired fighter was rewarded with an iritated glare. "Why do you still call me that?" Hiei had changed a good deal, in height and style. Currently, he was around Yuusuke's height, perhaps an inch shorter than the detective. He had on the black pants he usually wore in the past as well as the same shoes, but now he only wore a loose sleeveless white shirt with a black sleeveless trench coat. A pair of black shades rested in his spikes, right in front of his starburst.Yukina had bought them for him, under Keiko's suggestion. He saw no point in having them, the sun wasn't that harsh on his eyes. But of course, it was from Yukina, so he kept and treasured the item. A longer, but stillwhite, bandana/sash covered his Jagan and the ends hung loosely behind him. (A/N: Like Sanosuke's headband from Rurouni Kenshin.) He also sported a pair of black fingerless gloves, like now, at random. It lessened the damage of sword-handling to his rough hands.

"Uh, well, guess I've gotten used to it. Get over it!"

Hiei did not respond and Kuwabara was going to say something else until he noticed fire burning at the end of what looked like a vine. Fire and vines..heh… … Fire and vines! "I'm gonna fall! Hiei cut it out!"

The Jaganshi shook his head. "I'm not doing that. I would, but it isn't me."

Kuwabara paused. He gasped as three powers hit his senses. "I sense three strong spirit energy sources!"

"Now if only you'd realized that before you and the detective over there decided to fight them." Hiei watched blankly as Kuwabara fell from where he was, the fire having burned off the vine holding him.

"Why did we fight them again?"

"Because you thought it was ridiculous for three females to be strong enough to fight alongside us in a mission or two."

Yuusuke frowned. "And?"

Kurama sighed. "And so you said that they had to prove their strength and fight you." And what a foolish move that turned out to be.

Kuwabara blinked. "So where do I come from in all of this?"

"You got in the way and said that women don't belong in battle. Naori hit you and a fight started."

"I fought a girl!"

Hiei resisted the urge to just roll his eyes, a gesture he'd picked up from someone or another. "Yes, you idiot, you did. It was three women, actually, and you lost. Miserably."

"That bad?" Yuusuke didn't sound too sure. They're just joking..right?

"Yes. That bad."

Kurama frowned to himself. I'd recognize those techniques anywhere…but who has the power to summon them? Is it an enemy? … Or someone we know…

Yuusuke noticed Kurama's pensive expression. "Something wrong Kurama?"

Attention was drawn to him. "No. Nothing. I think Koenma is waiting; we'd better get going. His office is just outside the door." He started to walk away and Kuwabara, now finished cursing Hiei, followed. Kurama paused in the now-open doorway. "Hiei…would you cut Yuusuke down please?" Hiei had been in a sour mood lately, perhaps this would cheer him. Though I do regret it being at Yuusuke's expense...

Hiei smirked slightly, unsheathing his katana. "Sure…"

Yuusuke paled. I usually like that look, but now that it's focused on me… "Now Hiei…"


Koenma sighed. That was a disaster. I thought letting Yuusuke and Kuwabara fight them would get them to cooperate, but they lost…They've always overcome impossibly hard opponents.

Botan sat on her oar, absently twirling a lock of blue hair with herdelicate fingers. "Koenma-sama, don't you think that it was a bit rash to call them here? You know that you don't really have the spirit energy to justify calling them here. And then having Yuusuke and Kuwabara fight all three? I know that Yuusuke and Kuwabara are good, but still…" They could have been killed!

"I know, I know! It's just that…well, there was nothing else I could do. They were going to hit me! Letting them fight was the only way." Or, at least, as far as he was concerned.


"Letting them fight one would have been hard enough." Kurama moved forward and stopped a couple feet from Koenma's desk. Kuwabara leaned against a wall.

Koenma blinked. "You're alive?"

Kuwabara looked him strangely. "And why wouldn't I be?"

Kurama sighed again. I'm getting a headache. Did Koenma tell them nothing? "The three 'women' you fought were all demons and very powerful. They always kill their opponents, regardless of the situation. I wonder why they just left like that…"

Botan paled and bit her lip. "Ummmm…"

I hate it when she says that. Koenma looked at her. "Um, what?"

Botan coughed lightly. "Well, the only time that the Trio spares someone is if their current master tells them to do so, or if they plan to come back. And the latter is far more likely."

Kuwabara made a face. "So who are these three girls that beat me and Urameshi? If they're even girls for real."


THUMP

"Hiei!"

Koenma and Botan shot Kurama questioning looks as the fox coughed slightly, almost wincing.

Yuusuke walked through the door, rubbing his head. "Stupid jerk."

Kuwabara was looking around. "Who are you talking about?" He pointed to a corner opposite Koenma's desk. "Yami-boy is over there and we didn't do anything." Hiei had a smug smirk on his face and resisted the urge tohit somethingupon hearingKuwabara's other nickname for him. He hated that name, like he did any other nickname.

Yuusuke shook his head, flushing slightly as he recalled exactly what had happened. He was mumbling about fast and flirty youkai and something like 'katanas shouldn't be allowed in the building'.

Kuwabara decided to ask later and reiterated, "Like I said, who are these three that beat us?"

Kurama arched an eyebrow. "Koenma, why haven't you told them? You know that the Trio could have been summoned at any time, granted that the opposing youkai has enough power."

Trio? Yuusuke gave Koenma a pointed look and asked sarcastically, "Something we should know?"

Koenma groaned and pressed two buttons on a remote that he had picked up. The walls parted to reveal a large screen. "These were your opponents." The screen showed three figures. However, all three had on cloaks, so you couldn't see anything really.

Do these people have a tape of everything! Yuusuke interrupted. "Hey, I can't even see what they look like! They could be guys for all we know!"

Hiei looked at the screen, now standing beside Kurama. "They are female, I can guarantee that." He looked to Koenma. "Tell me Koenma, how did they get here anyway? No one can come here, unless they die, which the Trio has not; or unless someone brought them here. The other two alternatives are that somebody summoned them, and that's just suicide; or…someone forced them here…also a stupid move. So what happened?" Hiei smirked slightly as Koenma began to squirm. If Koenma was a telepath, he would have heard Hiei's mental laughter.

He asked me that on purpose! Koenma coughed and cleared his throat. "Ummmm, back to the tape." Everyone noted that he didn't answer.


The screen flickered to another image. Two quarreling youkai, Class A, broke into a fight. Both fought with fire and eventually one pulled away. A ring of fire surrounded him in a circle and the wind picked up. Orbs of red, blue, and black came out of nowhere. As each touched the ground, they flared and the three figures from before stood there. The youkai that had pulled away smirked as the other Class A backed away, clearly afraid. "No…it's not possible! Y-you summoned t-the…"

The youkai that called the three others collapsed with a devious smile. "Guardian Trio…your task is to destroy him." He passed out.

The other youkai gasped and powered up. Why am I even trying to

One of the figures shook its head and stepped forward. And it stood there. Motionless.

The other youkai, powering up, looked confused. Not enough power…that's it! That idiot must not have had enough power to make a command. I have a chance! "Take this!" Six massive balls of fire came rushing forward, but the Red Guardian simply stood there. The attack connected and the youkai rejoiced, he was saved; or so he thought. The smoke cleared and there wasn't a scratch or even a mark on the Guardian. A glow of red in its eyes, and immediately a large flame consumed the opposing youkai. His screams died out after a few minutes and the ashes blew away a couple seconds later. The Red Guardian walked back to the other two. "How pathetic. Why were we ever summoned here?"

The second figure opened glowing blue eyes. "I don't know. Is he dead?"

The third Guardian that came from the black orb walked over to the fallen youkai and prodded at him with its foot. The youkai didn't stir so the Guardian walked away. A flash of black and the Guardian was gone. The Red Guardian yelped in surprise. "I hate it when that happens!"

The Blue Guardian sighed. "I guess that youkai, even as a Class A, just barely had enough power to call us. Let's go report." A swirl of blue and the Guardian was gone.

The last Guardian sighed. "Why me?" A spiral of red and the unconscious youkai was alone. The screen went blank.


"Was that supposed to help?" This sarcastic remark came from Yuusuke.

Koenma looked unsure. "That doesn't matter. Right now, you five need to find them and bring them back." Botan was ready to say something. "Yes Botan, by five, I mean you have to go as well." Botan paled, but said nothing.

"For what?" Kuwabara obviously didn't approve. Of the search or Botan going. "I don't really buy this 'three-girls-just-whooped-your-ass' thing. Plants are Kurama's thing and it's pretty hard not to notice a second youko walking around."

Yuusuke, for once, agreed. "Yeah. And besides, if it happened then why don't I remember?" Kuwabara nodded to this.

Botan chimed in. "How exactly are we supposed to find them Koenma-sama?"

Kurama frowned at the blank screen. "Yes. And not only would that be very dangerous, practically suicide, but it's also just next to impossible."

Hiei smirked. I'll make you spill it Koenma… "Why would you want them here? That would be a stupid move. They'd only try to kill us all. And besides, it'd be easier to just call them."

Koenma gave Hiei a suspicious look. "What do you mean by that? Who would summon them here?"

"You certainly had no qualms about force-calling them here to begin with."

"Yes, but—" Koenma froze. He'd been caught, as everyone was glaring at him now.

Even Kurama looked quite unhappy. "You called them? And under force? Have you gone mad?"


Hiei walked back into the room where the fight took place. No one moved, but simply watched him through the somehow clear metal-looking window to the room. His voice was clear. "Now watch carefully children," a smirk, "I'm only going to do this once."

Koenma gasped. He wouldn't! Not here! "Hiei wait!" Too late.

The door to the room slammed shut and wind from nowhere blew Hiei's clothes to-and-fro. The ends from his headband flew straight up. His shades, however, as well as his spikes, somehow stayed in place. Fire, ice, and some dark essence surrounded him in a ring. He raised a hand and snapped once with a gloved hand. The rings of fire, ice, and darkness rose and swirled and they couldn't see him.

"Hiei!" Yuusuke tried to get in. "You idiot! You'll get yourself killed, get out of there!" The door wouldn't move and a shock of electricity threw him back. He could only watch with the others as Hiei continued whatever he was doing.

Three familiar orbs came down and passed through the door. The elemental rings died down along with the wind, only to flare back up as the orbs touched the ground. A flash of black, a swirl of blue, and a spiral of red…

They were here. All three Guardians stood, cloaks and all.


Hiei walked out slowly, looking a little tired, and they followed. Everyone outside froze as they walked out.

Koenma gulped. I don't know whether I should be shocked at the fact that Hiei could summon them and did, or the fact that they haven't tried to kill anyone yet.

The Trio apparently had no such intentions as they calmly walked behind Hiei. Of course, Kuwabara had something to say. "Hey! Are you the three guys that beat us? Well I bet ya can't do it again! I don't even remember you beating me. You don't look so tough. … Hey get over here!"

The Black Guardian turned to Kuwabara and made several quick movements. Suddenly, Kuwabara found himself against the wall. He almost gulped, but didn't as he found a very sharp katana at his throat. The being said nothing, but pressed the katana, drawing a slight line of blood. Kuwabara freaked out. "Hey! Somebody do something!" He shut up, as the katana was pressed more. Nobody moved, fearing that movement would end his life. Hiei, however, had no problems with moving. Yuusuke hissed at him. "Hiei! Are you crazy? I know you hate him and all but really! Get back here!"

Hiei ignored him. That's enough fun for now. I don't need an extended sentencing over something like this. "Nothing is going to happen. That's enough Chiiri. Step away from the buffoon."

The Dark Guardian tilted a head, but did as he said. Kuwabara slid to the ground and landed with a hard thump. Kuwabara looked indignant at the insult, but grateful for the release. The other two Guardians kneeled at Hiei's feet. "You called sire?" The Dark Guardian, Chiiri, kneeled as well.

Koenma's eyes bulged. "'Sire'! Hiei what is this!" He can't be demon royalty, can he!

Hiei ignored them. "No need for that. You may get up now. You don't really have to do it at all."

"Whatever you say, Hiei-sama."

Hiei shrugged. "Hn."

Kurama cautiously approached Hiei. None of the Trio moved, but were watching him very carefully. "Hiei…what is this?"

"They have, for whatever reason, decided that I'm their permanent master now and will only go todemons that summon them if I say they can."

"So they'll do whatever you say?" Kuwabara stood shakily.

"Yes."

Yuusuke looked unsure. "So this really powerful Trio here will do anything you say?"

Idiots. "Anything."

"No matter what?"

Hiei was getting a tad annoyed, well, moreso than he already was. "Yes."

"So...are they guys or what?" He whispered this part to Hiei.

Hiei arched an eyebrow. "I told you. They're all female."

Yuusuke didn't look sure. "I don't know… Since when are youkai, female to boot, that powerful? I say they're guys."

Kuwabara joined in. "Yeah. No way they beat both me and Urameshi."

Hiei shrugged. "Just because your ningen females are weak, that doesn't mean our youkai females are as well." Quite the opposite in fact.


Kuwabara and Yuusuke snickered as Hiei turned to the standing Trio. "Hey, I bet if they are women, they're probably hideous."

Kuwabara smirked. "Yeah. When's the last time we saw a gorgeous killing machine?" He paused. "Well…I don't quite swing that way, but Kurama is kinda pretty...for a guy."

Yuusuke rolled his eyes. "Kurama doesn't count, he's a youko."

"And who's to say that one of these three aren't youko?"

"Kurama's different."

"Why is that Urameshi?"

"'Cause he's on our side genius. Any other pretty boys you'd wish to point out?"

"And well…I can't stand him most of the time, but Hiei looks pretty good. For a shrimp."

Yuusuke gave him a disbelieving look and was on the verge of laughing at him outright. Scratch that. Yuusuke started to laugh loudly at his friend. "After all the arguments, all the insults, and all the beatings you got whenever you tried to fight him,you're trying to tell me that you have a thing for him? And you'll have to figure another name, aside from 'shrimp' now. Seeing as to how he's not so short anymore."

Kuwabara flushed. "No! Don't be stupid, Urameshi. I don't swing that way. It's just his eyes look really cool. They're all crimson and ruby looking."

Yuusuke gave him a long look. "So you're in love with Yukina and you've developed the hots for her brother, or his eyes anyway, which somehow makes him'pretty'. You can't have both siblings man." Must be something in the family.

"Or maybe it's just him. Yukina's eyes don't have that weird edge to them."

"That's because Yukina is an innocent little koorime. Hiei? The last thing you could call him is innocent. Can't even use the two in the same sentence unless you're comparing him to someone innocent. But as for that other thing aboutHiei…even I have to admit he looks pretty good. The shades and gloves were a nice touch. Not to mention the change in clothing isn't too bad either." Yuusuke ran an eye over the oblivious Jaganshi. Nope. Not bad at all.

"… … Whatever, I still say that these three have got to look bad. They are the bad guys right?" The orange-haired fighterwas not counting the female opponent they ran into on the way to saving Yukina.

"I don't know. Except for beating you twice and me once, I guess they haven't really done anything. Unless Koenma left out some more stuff."

"Look! They're taking the cloaks off." Kuwabara and Yuusuke snickered further as they imagined how they would look.


Hiei looked at the Trio. "Take those things off. It's not necessary for you to wear them."

Yuusuke and Kuwabara moved forward to see, but…well…they didn't get what they were expecting.

The three youkai were actually quite attractive. All three were delicately pale, had slim and well-curved figures, and lean builds. The Blue Guardian had blue hair, icy eyes, and blue armor with gold-rims. The armor only covered her chest (but left her stomach open), her forearms, her calves, and formed a skirt around her waist that reached mid-thigh; leaving everything else…bare. She had armored boots as well. The same went for the other two, except that the Red Guardian had red hair, brown eyes, and red armor with black-rims. The Dark/Black Guardian had black hair, violet eyes, and black armor with silver-rims. The Dark Guardian leaned against a wall as the other two just stood around.

Hiei turned to Yuusuke. "Satisfied?"

Yuusuke blinked slowly. "B-but th-they're…they're…"

"Gorgeous." Kuwabara was just staring.

The Red Guardian tilted her head at them. "You act like you were expecting something else." Jerks.

Surprise, surprise. The Blue Guardian twirled some strands around her finger. "They probably were, Naori."

Naori shrugged. "Oh. Is there something you wanted Hiei-sama?"

Hiei looked at Koenma and pointed. "He wanted to see you."

Naori and Kaori looked and glared. Naori stepped forward. "Hey! I remember you, you creep. You're the dimwit who tried to force-call us here! You didn't actually have the power to summon us; you just manipulated your powers around a bit. I was about to burn you before you called your two guards on me. And then locked us in that room over there, trying to fight." A circlet of fire surrounded her hand and she held it out, as if to shoot. "Not gonna miss this time."

"That's enough Naori."

Naori immediately put out the flame at the sound of Hiei's voice. Kaori gave her twin a look. "Yes sister, you should calm yourself. Quit being so jumpy, you've had your fun for the day."

"You're sisters?" Botan had ventured closer, not quite as scared as before.

"Yes."

"All three of you?"

Naori shook her head. "Nope. Me and Kaori are twins. But Chiiri…we don't know where she's from… She never said…"

The Dark Guardian, Chiiri, didn't move. She simply kept her position, leaning against the wall, eyes closed, arms crossed. A strange black aura waved around her. It was hard to tell if she'd even heard the reference to herself. Violet orbs opened and gave a long look. Her response? "Hn." She closed her eyes again.

Naori put her hands on her hips. "Ugh! You and Hiei-sama are so freakin' alike, I swear!" She looked at said youkai and tapped her foot.

Hiei was sitting in a corner, legs folded and arms crossed. He opened his eyes, not including the Jagan, and gave a long look that mirrored Chiiri's. He frowned slightly and looked up. He looked back down to them. "Hn." And closed his eyes again.

Kaori giggled, as Naori got more frustrated, ranting about Chiiri and Hiei's lack of response and how even youkai needed social lives.

Yuusuke smiled. Pretty ladies. I like Naori. She gets to the point. She's loud. Reminds me of…me. Heh. "That's what I've been trying to tell Hiei this whole time. Believe it or not, I think I've made progress. Hey, you guys..erm…ladies aren't completely mindless followers like I though at first, after all."

Naori gave him a strange look. "I suppose I'll take that as a compliment." Jerk. "Your head feeling okay? Didn't mean to drop you like that." She turned to Kuwabara. "Or was it your vine I set to fire?"

Kuwabara had that lost-in-a-daydream look on his face. "Yeah…you dropped me." He snapped out of it. "Hey! You're the one that dropped me!"

Naori blinked at his reaction changes. "Ummmm…yeah." Weirdo. "That was me."

He stared and she stared back. He still stared and she rolled her eyes, walking off. She went over to Chiiri and jumped back. Kaori was at her side. "What's wrong?"

Naori was staring at the dark aura. "That aura…something's up. Hey, Hiei-sama…" She turned and gasped in surprise. A dark violet aura surrounded him as well. What is that? "Hiei-sama?"

A sharp noise went off. Hiei and Chiiri's eyes snapped open and they grabbed at their heads,moving to their kneesto their knees. Hiei's shades clattered off and slid across the floor as he shook his head forcefully. Naori went to Hiei with his shades and Kaori went to Chiiri. Yuusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara went in separate directions, looking around for the source.

"Hiei what's wrong?"

Hiei shook his head as he cradled it in his hands, trying to block out something, it seemed.

"What is it? Is it the noise?"

Hiei didn't respond as his eyes dilated, but he managed to force out a, "Turn the noise off. Turn it off now!"

Naori jumped up and charged up a fireball.

Kaori was over by Chiiri. "Where's the noise; do you know?"

Chiiri ignored her, or couldn't hear her, and shook her head. The Dark Guardian was more concerned with blocking off any sounds to her ears. "Make it stop. The voices; make it stop!"

Kaori threw a look to her twin. "Naori, Chiiri says there are voices."

"But everybody else hears just some noise."

"No…" Hiei struggled to sit upward. It's like these voices are trying to pull me /with/ them. He couldn't block anything out. "There are voices. Pulling us with them. Somewhere…or that's what they're trying to do. I…can't tell where the noise is from. I—" Hiei stopped.

Chiiri slowly removed her hands from where they were. "The noise…those voices…are gone?"


Kurama examined the device. Kuwabara had found the device back in this closet, saying it had Spirit Energy. But how? And who put it here?

Yuusuke was sitting in the floor, a little disappointed at the lack of a fight. "So why do you think only Hiei and that Chiiri-lady were affected?"

Kurama had a pensive look on his face. "I'm not sure. We don't know enough about Chiiri to tell what she does and does not have in common with Hiei. And to tell the truth…we don't know enough on Hiei either. All we have is facts from files that Koenma had. We can't even approach Enma-sama and even if he knows...I have the feeling that he would not tell us anyway."

Kuwabara shook his head, mumblingto himself,and Kurama turned to him.

"What is it? If you have an idea, then go ahead and say it. Anything is a possibility now."

"Well, I did sense some sort of connection in their spirit energy. It was like some link or something."

"A link?" Yuusuke scratched his head. What? Is he related to her or something? Something on the device caught his eye. "Hey what's that?"

Kurama turned the cube-like contraption and saw a sign on it. "It's an insignia. I've seen it somewhere before, but I don't remember…" Yet another problem to solve. Kurama sighed to himself. I had enough to deal with before I came here and now look. The complications have doubled and now others are involved. I'm not going to make it through the day without an aspirin bottle or two. Hiei…I hope he's alright… He shook a familiar feeling that he distinctly did not like off and focused on Yuusuke.

Yuusuke was standing and heading back to Koenma's office. "Come on. Hiei and Chiiri looked pretty rattled before we took off."


They returned to find both youkai on the floor. Chiiri and Hiei were sitting exactly where they collapsed. They seemed to be looking at something. Botan was on her knees by Hiei and Kaori was by Chiiri. A blue light that they associated with healing energy came from both of them. Yuusuke rushed up looking back and forth between the two. "What the hell happened here!"

"We don't know. They said the noise was actual a bunch of voices trying to take them somewhere."

"To where?"

"They said they didn't know. They just kept asking us to make it stop and then they just started staring out at nothing." Kaori turned to Botan. "You can stop now. We're healing physical wounds that aren't there. It's a waste of our Spirit Energy. Something else is wrong with them."

Naori waved a hand in front of each of their faces. Nothing. "But what's wrong with them now?"

Kurama studied both. "It might be possible that they still here the noise or those voices. They were the only ones affected so maybe now they're the only ones who can hear it."

Kaori bit her lip. She was worried and Koenma didn't understand. Naori looked like she was going to go crazy. "Hold it!" Everyone looked to him and he pointed at the twin youkai. "You two are supposed to be cruel and heartless youkai. Along with Chiiri, yoursupposed group leader, the three of you are the Guardian Trio! You're supposed to be cold and calm and destructive! Why haven't you done something…destructive! You're sitting here worried, panicked, and the Blue Guardian looks ready to shed a tear or two! I called you here for the cold deadliness! Where is it? We need it for this mission!"

Silence. After that outburst, nobody said anything until Kaori slowly rose. A single glance at Naori and Kaori, in turn, sighed and nodded. Both walked over to Chiiri and Naori picked her up, holding her in her arms.

Kaori gave Koenma a long, sharp glare. "There is no such Trio, as you described, unless there is a fight. You base your words on what other youkai have seen and heard. It's true, but none of them know the truth. None of them know how we are when there's no fight, no blood to be shed, no life to destroy, and no havoc to wreak. We worry because two of our companions are out of commission. Something is wrong with them and there is nothing me or my sister can do to help them. At least nothing we know of. I am upset because Chiiri and Hiei could be dying for all I know and they would die. With no help, no chance because nobody knew what happened, what's wrong with them, or what's going on. This…" She gestured to theyoukai in Naori's arms and the motionless warrior, now being supported by Kurama. "…is the work of someone. Who is it? We don't know. But if that is really your opinion of us then perhaps we would be better off elsewhere until Hiei-sama calls us or until there is alarm over Hiei-sama's condition. Further alarm anyway."

"No."


So what do you think? The mission is explained next chapter! Review please!
