"Sir he made it past all of our guards!" the butler said nervously, "he's about to enter the building."
"What?" Fujio asked, "Who is he?" He turned around and sensed his demon energy coming his way. Fujio made his way down to the basement and brought Yukina's cell with him. He put it on wheels for this purpose exactly.
Hiei stopped once he entered the building and looked for whoever was keeping his sister. Downstairs? he thought, Interesting. He knocked out all the guards along the way to the basement.
He opened the doors and saw a cat demon on the otherside in an all white bright room. Yukina was behind a glass room in a jail cell to the right. "Who are you?" Fujio asked, "Wait a minute, you look familar. Hiei?"
"How do you know my name?" Hiei demanded.
"You're that fire demon that fought in the dark tournament with Yoko Kurama and those humans," Fujio replied, "I watched those fights very carefully. Why are you here? I didn't expect you to come at all."
Hiei asked, "Who are you and why did you kidnap Yukina?"
Yukina couldn't hear what they were saying after she had been placed in that glass room. Once she saw Hiei enter the room she was completely shocked. "Hiei?" she asked. It was obivous neither of them could hear her. She didn't want to get any closer to the bars of her cell so she stayed back.
"I'm Fujio, legendary bandit and cat demon," he answered.
"Never heard of you," Hiei replied stiffly.
Fujio glared at him and said, "Of course not, you're obviously far too young to know who I was back in my hay day. No thanks to that stupid fox by the way."
"Sir," a guard said from a speaker, "we've spotted Kurama, he's coming with a couple of humans and that ferry girl from spirit world. Should I send guards?"
"Don't bother," he replied, "Hiei here knocked out most of them so they wouldn't do much good anyway. You have that dragon technique, and the jagan eye, right?" Hiei narrowed his eyes at him. "I still have to make some preparations before Yoko shows up so maybe I could use you after all."
Hiei took off his jacket and revealed his all black outfit with his sword. "What the hell do you want?" he demanded.
The cat jumped up to a platform that appeared out of nowhere above him. He walked through an insivible door and said, "You'll see." He disappeared.
Then a blaring noise appeared over the speakers. It drowned out everything. A migrain started in Hiei's brain as he covered his ears and crouched down in pain. That noise, he thought, I can't take it!
Fujio looked down at Hiei from the window that appeared. "Wow," he said, "he's actually resisting. It must be that jagan of his." He looked down and turned it up louder. Yukina looked on in distress. Since her glass room couldn't hear anything, she was fine.
After a moment Hiei stood back up and a blank expression moved across his face. What's happening, he thought, I'm not in control of my body. What the hell! The noise stopped.
"Hiei," Fujio said over the speaker, "go out and entertain Yoko Kurama and the others while I prepare."
What? Hiei asked himself. No, stop moving. What the hell did he do to me? I can't even control my jagan. He unwillingly walked through the halls of the mansion and went back outside.
"Whoa!" Kuwabara said, "Who did this?"
"Hiei," Kurama replied, "I'm sure of it."
Botan said, "These humans, they're only knocked out thankfully. If he killed them he'd be severely punished."
Yusuke said, "Well he cleared a path for us, let's go. We're obviously headed in the right direction."
They walked for another mile before they could see the mansion. "I thought we'd get more interference than this," Kurama said nervously. Something wasn't right, but what was going on? If this is Fujio he's being much more causious than he ever was before, he thought.
They came into view of the mansion out of the woods and saw Hiei standing before them. "Hiei!" Yusuke said.
"Kurama was right, you really did show up," Kuwabara said.
He didn't move. Yusuke asked, "Hiei? What's wrong?" Hiei drew his sword.
"His eyes," Kurama said, "he's being controlled! Don't go near him!"
What am I doing? Hiei asked himself. Stop it! Don't kill them. He unwillingly unsheathed his sword then started running toward Kurama. He pulled out his rose whip and started running out of the way.
"Hiei, try to regain control if you can!" he pleaded.
Yusuke asked, "Where's a damn mirror when you need one?"
Botan said, "Do something!"
"Spirit gun!" Yusuke shouted as he aimed at Hiei. Hopefully he'll jump out of the way in time. He thought.
Hiei turned around, saw the blast, and jumped in the air. Kurama ducked and let the blast fly over him and hit the wall of the mansion. Hiei landed in front of Yusuke and slashed his chest. Blood spilled everywhere. Yusuke do something, Hiei thought, get into the mansion. My telepathy isn't even working! Kill Fujio, hurry!
"Spirit sword!" Kuwabara shouted and lunged toward Hiei at full speed.
He turned around and easily cut the sword out of Kuwabara's hands. Once he went for slash a rose whip appeared around his blade. Kurama tried to pull it out of his hands. Hiei used his fire and burned it off of his sword and then punched Kuwabara in the gut. It sent him flying into a tree.
Yusuke asked as he clutched his chest, "How are we supposed to fight Hiei?"
Botan asked, "I'm more concerned with how did this happen to him? If it can happen to him it can probably happen to you as well."
"Forget that!" Kurama said, "If we get to Fujio in the mansion we can save him." He started running for the door.
Hiei jumped up in front of his and cut his right arm wide open with his sword. Kurama screamed in pain and kneeled on the ground. "Kurama!" Yusuke shouted.
Kuwabara said, "It's 3 on 1 and he's still beating us, I don't believe it!"
Stop it! Hiei shouted out himself. I'm not here to fight him, I'm here to save Yukina. Get back in the mansion. Dammit. He leveled his sword unwillingly at Kurama as he kneeled in front of him. Don't kill Kurama, listen to me! he told himself, No! Just as he was about to stab him, Kurama jumped backward.
Yusuke shouted, "Spirit gun!"
"No Urameshi!" Kuwabara said, "Don't waste your shots." He used his energy and shot a bunch of little spirit swords toward Hiei. He cut them down in midair instantly.
"Kuwabara," Yusuke said.
Botan asked, "Kurama, are you okay?"
"I'll be alright," he replied, "Hiei get out of the way."
I can't, he thought, my body isn't obeying, and neither is my energy. What the hell? He put his sword away and started unwraping the bandages on his right arm. Don't you dare! He commanded to no avail.
"Oh no," Kuwabara said.
"It's the dragon," Yusuke said, "what the hell can we do to defend against that?!"
Kurama pleaded, "Don't do it Hiei. Not only will you kill us all, you'll waste precious energy. In your current mind you can't control the dragon. You could end up killing Yukina."
Don't you think I realize that? He asked himself. Get into the masion and save her, dammit! Stop unraveling my bandages! Nothing worked. He continued to take off his bandages.
"Anybody got a plan before we get incinerated?" Yusuke asked.
"I say we run for it now," Kuwabara said nervously.
"I agree with Kuwabara," Botan replied.
"Wait," Kurama said. He took a seed out of his hair. "I didn't want to do this Hiei," he said. He put his energy into it and it turned into a small vine with thorns on it. It was only about a foot long and wiggled in his fingers. He used his other hand it keep it steady and to stop it from cutting into him.
Yusuke asked, "Kurama, what the hell is that, a little rose whip?"
No! Hiei begged, Don't you dare touch me with that thing, Kurama. If my body would listen to me I'd let you pass. Move! Now!
