"DADDY, THEY'RE GONE!" the twins pounded on the door.

Hiei slowly sat up and saw that Aka wasn't next to him. He went and opened the door to his crying children, "Are you sure she's not just out in the training fields in the back?" he asked.

"YES!" the yelled.

He looked back in the room, finding that Aka's gown wasn't on the bed, then looked down and say that Akamery had taken her black jacket, but not her sword. He then went to the room, opening it to a sleeping Ronin and Kurama, but not a Lunar. "What are they up to?"

"Fox, where are they?" Hiei asked annoyed.

Kurama slowly opened his eyes. He too found that Lunar had left his side. "Ronin, where's your mother?" he asked.

"Momma wen oo ee wha that ding ding ound was," he responded.

"What sound?" Hiei and Kurama asked.

"Hey, I heard it too," Raine said. "It kept going and going, and then it stopped...Right, Sho?"

Sho nodded, "Yea, it was really annoying," Then, Sho became scared, remembering what he heard last night, "Daddy, I heard mommy's scream from the main garden too..."

"What?"

Sho nodded, "Yeah, but I was sleepy, so I didn't think about it..."

"What are we going to do?" Kurama asked.

There was a loud pounding on the door downstairs, and Yusuke was heard yelling, "Hiei! Kurama! Open up damn it!"

Kuwabara next, "Yeah, ya little shrimp, open up!"

Hiei quickly went downstairs and opened the door, "What was that for?"

Yusuke handed Hiei a note, "I found this on my door when I was woken up by someone pounding on the door,"

"You didn't have to pound on mine," he said as he read the note:

I have both the she-demon and the nymph. They put up quite the fight, I must say, but I will still be extracting their healing powers to gain invincibility. We all want it, no? After I'm finished with them, I will no longer be requiring their bodies, so I will kill them both. This will only take a week. Good lucky you worthless pieces of shit. You'll need it!

Kuro Zaiaku a.k.a. Black Sin

Yusuke watched Hiei read the note, "See why I was in such a rush?" they stepped inside to the living room and Kuwabara closed the door.

"That bastard," Kurama growled after reading the note himself. All the children looked at him, even Hiei was slightly surprised. "We need to find where he hides like such a coward...Hiei; can you contact Aka or Lunar?"

"I'll try," was all he could say before disappearing out to the roof using the passageway from Aka's walk-in closet. He stood looking around and then closed his eyes, trying to contact Akamery.

--At the Cave--

Akamery blinked her eyes open then gasped in horror, she was hanging above a pit of Makai demon snakes, "HOLLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!" she cried, now fully awake.

She looked at her tied up arms and narrowed her eyes in annoyance, "Damn it..." then, she heard Hiei's voice trying to contact her, 'Hiei?' she asked, blinking.

'Yes, Aka. What was that scream for? You nearly blew my head off,' Hiei commented.

Aka blushed sheepishly, 'Sorry, but...' she looked down and shivered, 'I'm hanging over a freaking pit of Makai demon snakes...' She sent a mental image to Hiei of what she was seeing.

'Why that little...' Hiei growled, 'Where are you?'

'Umm...just a sec, I need to use my second sight to figure that out.' Akamery closed here eyes and her wind went around like it was a video camera. 'I'm...in a maze cavern. Lots of caves leading to different touchier chambers and cells. This looks like a place somewhere in Makai, but I can't see outside,'

'Is Lunar there with you?'

'No, she's...shit, Lunar!' Aka growled, 'Lunar's in an F-class proof cell, she's...unconscious. I'm guessing when she tried to escape; she was thrown back against the wall...'

'Get me out of here!' Lunar yelled, 'I'm going mad! This barrier is...AH!'

'Ok, never mind,' Akamery sighed and talked to Lunar, 'Lunar, Hun, calm down,'

'Calm down?! You try being claustrophobic and someone telling you to calm down!'

'Jeez, sorry, well, I'm hanging over a pit of snakes - Makai demon snakes to be specific - and I'm somewhat calm...'

'The walls are closing in and I can't breathe!'

'That's what claustrophobics are known for,' Hiei shook his head.

Aka took a breath, 'I know,' she concentrated on using her illusion technique, 'There, Lunar, is that better?'

'No,' she sniffled. 'I still know where I am...Someone's coming. Hold on...'

'Alright...'

'It seems that they're tired of me hitting the wall...I'm being moved. Talk to ya in a bit.'

'Alright, Lunar,' Akamery took a breath and looked down with a twitching left eye, "This is ridiculous," she snarled.

"Hello, my little breeze," Kuro came in holding Lunar by the arm, who didn't seem to care as long as she was out of the cell.

Akamery glared, "Get me out of here," she said through gritted teeth.

"This is my house," he lifted his eyebrow, "And, I was going to get you down, but I guess you don't want to." He started to turn.

"Wait," Aka called, looking down, "Fine, PLEASE get me out of here..." she hated saying that to this demon, but figured it was worth it if she was going to get out of the chamber.

Kuro laughed evilly, "Very well," he teleported her, ropes and all, to him, "That better, my little breeze?"

Akamery sighed with relief, "Yes..."

Kuro laughed again; "Now then," he pulled Aka and Lunar with him to another chamber. He shoved Akamery against the wall quickly after removing the ropes. Shackles went around her wrists and ankles, and Kuro quickly did the same to Lunar.

"Why are we always in such little rooms," Lunar started freaking out.

"Well, you can always go to my room," he smirked.

"Nah, I'll stay here with Aka..."

Akamery chuckled, "This isn't that small, really. It's actually bigger then the cell you were in."

"Still small," she muttered.

Akamery laughed but Kuro sent shockers around her and she grunted in pain. He went around to a computer and pushed some buttons that made a door of some type of steal tube open.

"Oh snap!"

"Who would like to go first?" Kuro asked, turning to look at the two demonesses.

Akamery eyed the tube with a little fear, "Shit," she muttered.

"Ah, my breeze, you shall. I want to show the nymph my room anyway," he chuckled, teleporting Aka in the tube with a slam.

Akamery pounded against the closed door with her right fist, "No!" she cried, tears streaming down her face and turning into gems.

"Don't worry, you'll be reduced into a human soon enough. Come on, nymph," he took her over his shoulders as she kicked and screamed.

Akamery pounded against the door then lights turned on and chains grabbed onto her arms and ankles. She felt her wrists being pierced and she soon felt weaker and weaker, 'No...no...' then shockers came from inside the tube and began to cut and burn at her body. Aka screamed in pain and fear as more tears streamed down her cheeks, 'Hiei…' she called before she passed out.

--Aka's Home--

Hiei hit the roof tiles with his fist as he held his head when he heard Aka's and Lunar's screams. He quickly turned them off and joined the others, who were trying to set up a plan.

"Fox?" Hiei lifted an eyebrow as Kurama's tail twitched behind him, though he was in his human form besides that.

Kurama glanced over at Hiei, and then saw where he was looking, but couldn't make the tail vanish because he was too pissed.

"Well, did you find anything, or are we going to have to go ask bottle breath?" Yusuke asked.

"Only that they're in the Makai caves and Aka's already having her powers taken. Lunar being forced upon..."

Kurama stood, his eyes turning golden, "There's no time to fool around then!"

"Whoa there," Kazuma held his hands up, "We still don't know where they are."

"I don't care!"

Just then, Botan appeared in the living room on her oar, "Guys, come with me to Koenma's Office. We found out Akamery's and Lunar's location." the reaper told them opening up a portal.

--Cave--

Lunar ran into the room, just escaping, though her clothes were slightly torn and there was blood where she had knocked Kuro in the mouth, "Aka!" Lunar ran to the tube, forcing the door open, but didn't know that's how the machine worked, and what powers that had been stripped from Aka now went inside her niece.

"Aka," she screamed, trying to wake her.

"You little-" Kuro waked in and grew wide-eyed, "Damn you! You ruined the whole project!"

Lunar took Aka close to her after the shackles let Akamery fall to the floor, not caring what Kuro was saying, "Please wake up."

"My…body's numb...I can't…move..." Akamery replied, her eyes opening a little.

"Where should we go? How can I help you?" Lunar asked.

A tear escaped Aka's eyes as she shook her head, "Hiei..." she whispered, then passed out.
