ME: Hehe. This story is becoming so much fun. That's right Cheerio-panda45. There is some major drama going on in Spirit World, but I assure you. The best is yet to come. Hehe. Drama plus fighting equals one heck of an awesome read!
Hiei: Why do I have this feeling that you're going to have each of us face someone from that little demon group you wrote about in the last chapter?
ME: I think you're still using your Jagan-eye and that's all I'm letting you know about it at this time. Plus, of course I'm going to make you fight them! I mean that's just going to have so many opportunities to have some major fun! But you're going to hate me for what I do next.
Hiei: …well, I can't say that I'm not looking forward to the chance to have a real fight, but now I'm curious to find out as to what you have planned to anger me.
ME: That's what I'm counting on, Hiei. That's exactly what I'm counting on. Anyway, let's not stall the fun any longer and get to the third chapter of this story shall we?
Hiei: The authoress does not own Yu-Yu Hakusho and she only wishes she does.
ME: Thank you, Hiei. So on with the beautiful story I have planned! Hehehehehe.

Chapter 3: Kidnapped
Botan quickly hurried up the stairs leading to Genkai's temple with an annoyed Yusuke, a silent Koenma, and a tired Keiko on her heels. The small group was making their way as fast as they possibly could to meet the rest of their comrades to discuss the potentially horribly situation. Botan was clearly distressed at what was going on, Koenma was trying to keep his business like air, and Yusuke and Keiko were completely unaware of all the trouble that had been caused. They only knew that whatever was going on had to be really bad for the distress that was clear on the ferry-girl and Spirit Prince. Keiko was worried about Yusuke's safety in this new challenge and Yusuke was worried about getting a worthwhile fight while Keiko was kept safe at all times. Their priorities hadn't changed too much since they were younger.
"We're almost to the top now!" Botan said in a rising hope that seemed to make her feel a little bit better at the whole situation. She was correct and it only took another few minutes for them to enter the room where the others were watching over the unconscious Hiei. Yusuke froze at the sight of the sleeping apparition and immediately felt the weight of the situation hit him in the chest. No one could take down Hiei unless they were very powerful demons. The fire apparition was smart and wouldn't allow himself to fall into any trap. Demons couldn't take him on from a frontal assault either. Yusuke immediately felt the dark presence that his enemy seemed to have and he wondered exactly what brought down his strong demonic friend.
"What happened?" he asked as he stepped into the room looking at Genkai.
"I myself don't know. All I know is that this was found in his pocket," the old woman answered producing a small disk from her own pocket. She handed it to Botan who immediately ran out of the temple. All eyes turned expectantly on Koenma who sighed.
"We sent Hiei into the Makai looking for some information on some demon attacks that have been breaking out all throughout Ningenkai. We knew the vicinity of where he needed to go, but finding the actual base of the demons was part of his job. It looks like Hiei found the base considering that disk that was found, but he must've met with someone of the higher ranks. Kurama, can you shed some light on the area you found Hiei in?"
The red haired kitsune looked at them and said, "When I arrived the area was completely covered with corpses of the demons Hiei had slain. There were enough of them to be a battalion from the group we're looking into. My guess would be that Hiei met with their leader first and had a small confrontation with them. Once the confrontation escaladed past a certain point the leader took their leave and allowed their minions to take care of Hiei. They must've known that Hiei was a force to be reckoned with and made sure they put a deadly poison into his system before leaving him there. This, of course, is only my speculation," Kurama said looking over at his friend who seemed to have gained a little more color into his face. The sleeping Hiei moved slightly underneath the blanket they had covered him with and Yukina watched him carefully.
"So let me guess. Botan just went off to the Reikai to check out that disk," Yusuke said looking at Koenma who nodded.
"Yes. It would be best if we stayed here and waited for her results," Koenma answered closing his eyes for a moment. Exhaustion swept through the group and they couldn't help but show it through their facial expressions. Keiko looked around the room for a moment and suddenly noticed something that seemed very strange to her.
"Hey…where's Kuwabara?" she asked looking at Koenma curiously. An eerie silence filled the room and their hearts began to race. He didn't know. Kuwabara had no idea the danger that was surrounding them and at the rate it was moving he'd be attacked before they could get to him.
"Alright, nobody panic!" Yusuke said turning around and moving out of the room, "I'll go out and find him!"
"I'll come as well," Kurama volunteered as he moved to walk out with him. Koenma likewise volunteered his services and just as they moved to leave another voice was heard.
"You might want to hurry," everyone spun around in surprise to see that Hiei had woken up and was sitting up looking directly at Yusuke, "The baka went and got himself into some trouble he won't be able to get himself out of."
"Gotcha!" Yusuke shouted running down the hall with Kurama and Koenma in tow.
"Are you feeling better?" Yukina asked worriedly as Hiei rubbed the side of his head in annoyance. He looked at her for a moment and nodded. She smiled and said, "That's good. That poison was really strong and for a moment I thought that it had been in your system too long."
"Well, it seems that all of us are up to speed on the situation. All we have to do now is wait for Botan to come deliver the report and for them to get Kuwabara back here in one piece. Let's hope he didn't get into as much trouble as someone else we could mention," Genkai looked at Hiei causing him to give his trademark monosyllable response.
"I really hope Kazuma is alright," Yukina said looking down at her kimono in worry. Hiei looked at her from the corner of his eye for a moment and then stood up. Yukina protested his standing up, but she was merely ignored. Hiei looked over at Genkai and slowly walked out of the room.
"Don't leave the temple," was all the old woman said to the passing apparition as he fully left the room. She received his normal monosyllable in response, but she knew the apparition wouldn't leave as long as Yukina was in distress.
-------------
Hiei calmly walked through the hallway and allowed his mind to drift off to thoughts on the demon that had poisoned him. He hadn't even sensed she had the ability to poison him and that attack was so perfectly disguised that he hadn't even sensed anything was wrong until it was almost too late. Poison usually affected the body a lot quicker than what it had done to Hiei and he was beginning to wonder if the demon had the ability to control the poison. Hiei slowly made his way out to the front of the temple and stood in the silence as the sun was shining down on the morning dew. Wind blew around the trees and caused a very slight shiver to race down Hiei's spine.
"There's a strange wind blowing…something's coming," the apparition said calmly as he leapt to the roof of the temple and placed himself where he could comfortably sit for extended periods of time. His eyes were sharp and his body was tense. This time, Hiei was ready for a fight.
-------------
Yusuke, Kurama, and Koenma ran as fast as their legs could possibly carry them in an attempt to reach Kuwabara's house long before anything else dangerous could get to him. A dread was welling in each of their chests and with each turn that brought them a step closer to the fighter's house, the more they knew something was terribly wrong. Finally Yusuke rounded the last corner that led onto the street where Kuwabara lived and he froze at seeing a large cloud of looming black smoke and a crowd of flustered people standing around the front of the house. Yusuke bolted forward with his two comrades on his heels and they ran into the crowd of people. After pushing their way to the front, they all felt the dread explode and could only stare in horror at Kuwabara's house burned to ashes. All that was left was a column of smoke that was beginning to die down right before their very eyes.
"What happened here?" Kurama asked a nearby human who looked at him in confusion for a moment.
"They say the fire started by someone throwing something in from the window in the living room. It spread all the way through the house like wildfire and there's no sign of the boy who lived here. Everyone's saying that he didn't make it out of the house in time. It's a shame. He was such a nice guy," the lady said before turning back to her other woman friend. Kurama looked at Yusuke and Koenma with sad eyes and they all looked at the ground.
"So…Kuwabara just died…in a fire…" Yusuke choked balling both of his fists.
Kurama opened his mouth to try and comfort him, but a small sound entered his ears. It was faint and the kitsune wasn't sure, but it sounded like a cat crying. Kurama straightened up and strained his ears in an attempt to hear the sound once again. He was rewarded with his patience and the red-haired fighter was sure that he heard the cry of Kuwabara's cat, Eikichi. His bright green hazel eyes scanned the area and just beyond Kuwabara's burned house sat the cat at the very edge of the woods. It was covered in blood and seemed to have been a little roughed up, but the cat seemed fine otherwise. Kurama pulled Koenma and Yusuke closer to him whispering, "Look beyond Kuwabara's house. See the cat at the edge of the woods?"
"Eikichi," Yusuke breathed suddenly disappearing among the crowd and, using a stealth that no one knew he had, made his way to the cat. Koenma shook his head slightly and looked at Kurama.
"I never would've believed a cat would lead us to one of our members."
"Don't look a gift-horse in the mouth. This may be the only lead we get," Kurama answered as they both moved in Yusuke's steps to get to the cat. It didn't take them long to get to the edge of the woods unnoticed and Yusuke carefully picked up that cat to move further in. Kurama and Koenma quietly followed and once they were out of the sight of possible on looking humans, Yusuke looked over the cat.
"Where did all this blood come from? It doesn't seem like the darn cat is hurt," Yusuke said looking over the cat for any sign of a wound. There were none.
"It's possible that the blood is not Eikichi's, but instead it's Kuwabara's. He would let himself get slaughtered before he let anything happen to his precious cat," Koenma said looking over the cat as well.
"There is a greater chance of that than anything else I've thought of," Kurama agreed as Eikichi let out another meow that sounded like it was beginning to get desperate. The cat leapt out of Yusuke's arms and suddenly tore off into the trees so quickly that the three had to kick it into overtime to catch up.
"I never knew a damn cat could move that fast!" Yusuke growled angrily as he pushed himself to follow the cat. The small figure of the cat managed to weave in and out of the trees without stopping even for a second and the only one who could match the speed without any trouble was Kurama.
"I'll move ahead to see what I can find," Kurama said quietly to Yusuke and Koenma before running ahead to follow the scent of blood that was thick in the air. The kitsune knew that his time was limited and if he didn't hurry, he might find his comrade taking his last breath or already dead. Both situations were something that he wanted not to have happen and it fueled him to run even faster than before. It was only a matter of moments before Kurama found a clearing and right in the middle if it was a cloaked figure beating another unmoving figure to a bloody pulp. Kurama instantly recognized the figure as Kuwabara and moved forward as he threw a seed at the demon. He sensed it coming and leapt to safety as the seed harmlessly flew into some nearby bushes. Before the demon had time to blink, Kurama was at Kuwabara's side and had his Rose Whip in his hand.
"Well, I didn't think I'd ever see you again. This is a surprise, Yoko," the demon rasped as he straightened up.
"I never wished to meet you once again, Kane. This is an unfortunate reunion," Kurama answered coldly as he heard Yusuke and Koenma making their way to them. He turned his bright green eyes on the masked demon and continued, "So was it you who attacked Hiei?"
"No, it was my superior. I'm impressed that the little demon is still alive and moving. Although, that won't last for long if our plan has no more set backs," Kane replied as he began swaying to the side.
"You're style isn't anything new to me. Don't expect to catch me off guard," Kurama replied calmly as he crouched into a well balanced position.
"Kurama! Have you found Kuwabara?!" Yusuke suddenly shouted bursting through some bushes just behind him. He ran up to Kuwabara without paying his enemy any mind and said, "Oh crap! Come on, Kuwabara! Don't you dare die on me! And you better not be trying to pull my leg again like ya did at the Dark Tournament!"
"Hm, you brought Urameshi with you…this should be interesting. I'll take my leave," Kane said just at Koenma had entered the area as well. He ignored the newest person in the area and bolted out between two trees. Kurama was determined not to let him get away and looked back at his comrades.
"I'm going to pursue him. Get Kuwabara back to Genkai's as fast as you can. I'll meet you there!" Kurama turned around and took a mad dash after Kane. At first it seemed as though his effort was all for nothing, but he soon heard Kane's footsteps just ahead of him. Kurama felt fueled by more determination and soon came so that he was running beside the demon.
"Just don't know when to give up, do you fox?" Kane hissed angrily.
"Unfortunately for you, no," Kurama answered as he and Kane initiated a furious fight.
-------------
"Was it me or did Kurama seem to know that guy?" Yusuke asked as he looked over his friend's beaten and bloody form. Kuwabara seemed to be beaten to an inch of his life, but his stubborn friend seemed to be forcing himself to try to heal himself. Yusuke shook his head and thanked every divine force he could think of that his friend was as stubborn as a mule.
"It seemed like that was the deal," Koenma answered bending down beside Kuwabara as well. He looked over the wounded fighter and then glanced around at the entire area. Suspicion hit him once again and Koenma said, "Yusuke, something here is wrong."
"Yeah, Kuwabara's lying on the ground bleedin' to death and you're not helping me get him to a place where he can be taken care of!" Yusuke snapped pulling Kuwabara's arm around his shoulder.
"No, Yusuke, I mean something right here around us. Can't you sense it?" Koenma said balling his fists.
"Listen, Koenma! I don't sense anything and if we don't get Kuwabara-" Yusuke began to shout angrily until a sudden shock hit his system. He gently put Kuwabara back down on the ground and stood with his Reiki building in rage. Yusuke spun around in fury and shouted, "Come on out, cowards!! I dare you all to show yourselves!"
"Nyahahaha," maniacal laughter broke through the trees and shadowed figures began appearing all around them. Yusuke and Koenma instantly realized that they were completely surrounded and Yusuke cracked his neck and punched one fist into his hand, "These bastards think they can risk Kuwabara's life like this. Oh, hell no."
"This should be interesting," Koenma sighed as Yusuke leapt forward and went straight into action.
------------
Hiei's wary eyes scanned the ground of the temple even more carefully than before. He has sensed Kurama and Yusuke's anger spark and now they were both fueling themselves with it to fight. This surely meant that the trouble wasn't far from them and Hiei would thrust his own sword into his Jagan-eye before he hid behind the old woman to fight for him. The apparition stood and jumped off the roof to land right at the very entrance of the temple. He looked over the area before turning on his heel and walking towards the entrance of the temple. It was then that a disturbance came to his ears and he looked back just in time to see Botan land on the ground behind him.
"Oh! It's good to see you up, Hiei!" Botan smiled at Hiei causing him to sweatdrop slightly.
"Hn," he merely replied as they both walked into the temple. The walk to the room where the other females were was silent and Botan was sweat she could hear a pin drop. Hiei wasn't usually one to talk in the first place, but Botan sensed that he was even more tense than usual. His body was completely rigid as he walked and she could literally sense his third eye wide open beneath the cloth as if he knew something was lurking in the shadows around them. Botan was greatly relieved when they walked into the room where Yukina, Genkai, and Keiko sat quietly around a table taking small sips of tea.
"Where are Kurama, Yusuke, and Lord Koenma?" Botan asked causing them to look up at her with serious faces.
"They went out to get Kuwabara and bring him back here. We honestly expected to be back before you, but we think something's happened," Genkai said looking at the wall for a moment in deep thought.
"Well, I have the results in from the disk and I was kinda hoping I could deliver it ASAP, ya know?" Botan sighed as she walked further into the room.
"I'm sorry, but I won't be allowing you to deliver that report," a voice behind the ferry-girl said. Before anyone knew what had happened, Hiei was slammed through the wall out of the temple and Botan was lying on the ground unconscious in front of Yukina, Keiko, and Genkai. The fighting master jumped to her feet and the other two girls crowded around the ferry-girl. In front of all the girls stood another female and she wasn't a friend to any of them.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my temple?!" Genkai hissed angrily as she began calling her Reiki to fight. A crunching sound was heard behind them and the other girls looked back to see Hiei jumping through the hole that was caused by his own body. Hiei cracked his shoulder back into place a fixed the demoness with an uninterested stare.
"I don't know who you think you are, but this temple is off limits to those without an invitation. Get out," Genkai stated flatly as she brought her arm back to shoot an attack at the demoness. Her enemy anticipated this and quickly dug her nails into the shoulders of the old woman. A deep purple essence suddenly rose up from the demoness' nails and the wounds on the fighting master's shoulders seemed to get larger and bleed more profusely. Genkai gave a slight noise of pain as she was lifted clean off her feet and sent soaring through the air into the wall Hiei was thrown into. Genkai caused a dent to mold around her body upon impact and fell the ground unconscious. A purplish shade of blood began oozing from the old woman's shoulders and the demoness laughed as she wiped her long nails on her cloak.
"You should try some of my best poison. Created with the help of my second in command. Unfortunately, you're older body will succumb to the poison much quicker than that apparition over there," the female glanced over in Hiei's direction causing him to tense in anger and his third eye to glare behind the cloth.
"What are you doing here?!" Keiko snapped angrily as Yukina attempted to help Genkai, but Hiei suddenly moved to stand in her path. She looked at him with a look that begged him to move, but he only answered by looking at the enemy before him.
"I'm here to show you and the young ice maiden my little home. It's a first class invitation and I would just love to escort you there myself," the demoness said smugly as she began to move forward toward them. Hiei sprung forward like he had springs on his heels and threw her out of the room with ease. His blade sung as he whipped it from the sheath and dashed after his enemy with a protective air.
"You'll have to take me down first," Hiei said staring at the demoness as she picked herself off of the ground.
"Always have to make things hard don't you, Hiei?" she sighed dusting herself off. She looked at him from behind the mask and said, "Why can't you just stay down and we call it a day?"
"You won't leave this temple alive," Hiei answered coldly as he shifted into a fighting stance. His sword gleamed and Hiei quickly pulled the cloth of his Jagan-eye. With his eyes narrowing and his body tensing, Hiei stared down his opponent with no sign of backing down. "You're not taking her away from here and I won't allow you to take Keiko either."
"Such a devoted brother and friend. It's a shame you've gained such human sentiments. You would've been one formidable demon otherwise. As it stands, you're nothing but a wash out!" she dashed forward with her nails draw back for another poisonous strike, but Hiei was faster. His agile form moved to the side and then came back with such a hit that it sent her flying through the wall. She crashed into a tree just outside the temple and splinters rained all around her unmoving body.
"Hiei, what should-" Keiko began to ask, but Hiei cut her off.
"Stay in the room and treat their wounds. No matter what, do not leave that room," Hiei then jumped through the hole in the wall and found that the demoness had jumped onto the roof of the temple. She was glaring down at him with pure hatred and reached into her cloak to produce a set of metal blades that clipped onto her fingers like extended nails.
"Come up here and see what a real fight against me is like, Jaganshi!" she sneered angrily pointing at him with one of the weapons as it gleamed in the sunlight.
Hiei wordlessly jumped to the roof as well and they met in a clash of metal. Hiei was quick with his sword as she relentlessly slashed at her opponent in an attempt to cut him down before her. One would've thought that she would have the advantage because of the number of her weapons, but Hiei managed to keep them on even ground through his speed and skills with the sword. The fight seemed like it could last forever, but Hiei was just recovered from dealing with her poison and was beginning to tire at the relentless fighting. Knowing that she had some advantage over the apparition, the demoness pushed him back and leapt into the air. The swordsman was expecting an attack from above, but his opponent merely hid away her weapons. She pulled out a strange sack out of her cloak and slammed it on the top of the roof. Flames burst all around them and she disappeared amongst the smoke.
"Damn," Hiei muttered as he jumped back to find some clean air. Once he cleaned his eyes and lungs of the smoke he glanced around to hear a scream echo from inside the temple. He barely sheathed his sword as he leapt into the burning temple and ran through the flames to the room where the girls were. By the time he got there Yukina and Keiko were gone and Genkai and Botan were unconscious underneath a ceiling that was beginning to crumble in. Hiei saw the demoness disappear into the trees through the hole in the wall and came to a conclusion that he had to make a choice. He could run after her and get the girls back or he'd have to save the other two from the burning temple. Hiei knew that saving Botan and Genkai would cause him to possibly lose Yukina and that was something he could not allow in anyway shape or form.
"Curse the fool who said blood was thicker than water," Hiei growled making his choice and leaping into action.
-------------
"You're…a…formidable opponent…fox," Kane panted as he stood on a tree branch directly across from his red-haired opponent. Both were covered in various little scratches and their bodies were beginning to reach their limit.
"As are you, Kane," Kurama answered coldly as his eyes scanned over the clearing. No one had followed them and the two fighters were completely alone. If one died in the battle there'd be a chance of them not being found for a very long time. Kurama was calculating his possibilities of killing his enemy and walking away with minor injuries that he could deal with. At the moment, his chances were slim.
"You know, I'd really like to fight you for real again," Kane said straightening up as if he was tired at all. He cracked his neck and said, "Unfortunately, my superior is calling me back to my post. She's not too patient when someone disobeys her."
"You seem pretty loyal to her," Kurama noted lunging at his opponent just as Kane leapt forward too. They clashed in midair and slammed into the ground pushing their weapons against one another with all the power they could call to them. Sweat began beading at their foreheads and Kurama said, "I'm afraid that I cannot allow you to leave our fight just yet."
"I wish I could stay and play your strategic game, but we both have things we must attend to. I must go back to my superior and you…well, let's just say you might have some burnt friends if the fire apparition chose the path I think he did," Kane said as they both pushed away from one another. Kurama's eyes narrowed in confusion and he laughed saying, "In a choice between Yukina and Keiko verses the ferry-girl and the old woman who do you think he'd chose? We all think he'd go to protect the ice maiden and her friend. So, if he does that and the other two are unconscious in a burning temple…where does that leave us, now?"
"No," Kurama whispered with realization dawning on him. There was no doubt that Hiei would think about that choice before acting, but even Kurama was skeptical on how his fire controlling friend would go. Kane and Kurama put away their weapons simultaneously and stared at one another for a moment.
"Don't look so put out. We'll have the chance to finish our little match at a different date. Just be sure you live that long," Kane said before fading into the shadow of a nearby tree.
"Same to you," Kurama replied turning on his heel and tearing out of the clearing in the direction that he knew Koenma and Yusuke should've gone. He was sure that if they were close to the temple by now that they wouldn't have to worry about the choice that Hiei made, but if they were somehow delayed…they could only hope that Hiei wouldn't sentence two of their members to death if he could help them.
The smell of blood suddenly came to his nose and Kurama sped up even faster than before. The smell was unwelcome to his senses and it showed that there were fighters just around where he was. The kitsune focused his remaining demonic energy on finding out who the fighters were and nearly choked when he sensed Yusuke, Koenma, and Kuwabara still in the exact same place he had left them. It was then that he sensed a couple of demonic auras around them and he instantly knew what had happened. They had been ambushed to keep them from helping Hiei if he needed it.
"They're two steps ahead of us!" Kurama growled breaking into the clearing and sentencing the last demons that surrounded Yusuke, Koenma, and Kuwabara to death. Yusuke and Koenma looked back in surprise and immediately could tell that something was horribly wrong.
"What's with that face, Kurama? Did the guy get away?" Yusuke asked as he went back to trying to move his unconscious friend.
"That's not the major problem," Kurama answered in a voice devoid of all emotion. Koenma and Yusuke fell absolutely silent as Kurama went to tell them about what Kane had told them and by the time he had finished, the two had chills racing through their spines.
"So if Hiei chose to save his sister and Keiko…" Koenma allowed the sentence to hang in the air so he would not have to go through the pain of actually finishing it.
"But if he went back to save Genkai and Botan…" Yusuke likewise let the sentence hang in the air so they could see the options Hiei had set before him.
"We can only hope that Hiei didn't just let them die. From there…we'll just have to wait and see," Kurama answered as he helped Yusuke support the still unconscious Kuwabara.
"We have a new dilemma on our hands now," Koenma said causing Yusuke and Kurama to look at him warily, "We must either take Kuwabara with us to the temple or get him to the closest place to heal while one of us goes to the temple. It would be better to his health to get him healed, but at the rate this is going…"
"It would be dangerous and unwise for us to split up yet again. These fighters seem to be two steps ahead and putting traps along the way for us to step on," Kurama said looking at the ground for a moment. The three were beginning to wonder what exactly their next choice of action would be when a sudden ringing cut through the air. It was a cell phone.
"Is that…Kuwabara's…cell?" Yusuke asked as his eyebrow twitched slightly. He reached into his friend's jacket pocket and pulled out the fighter's cell phone. Small sweatdrops appeared on the back of Kurama and Koenma's heads and Yusuke glared at the phone as he looked at the screen to see who was calling his moronic friend. Upon seeing the caller id, Yusuke pressed the green "talk" button and answered, "Hello?"
It was then that a surprising voice answered him and the other two strained their ears to hear the news that would cause them all to sigh in relief…for now.
-------------
ME: Hehe. So did Hiei save Genkai and Botan or did he leave them to save his sister? Oh, will the cliffhangers ever stop? I think not! Haha!
Hiei: I will find it personally entertaining when the readers find you and hurt you for leaving them hanging like that.
ME: Hehe. I love writing cliffhangers. And besides, this story can't go too fast. I have some things in it that'll be fun to read.
Hiei: Yet again that is something for the readers to decide.
ME: Love to constantly steal my thunder, don't you, you little thief!
Hiei: Thievery or not, I'm sure its something the readers will happily agree with me on.
ME: You know what. Be quiet please! I have enough of the word games in school. I don't need my own muse to do it too!
Hiei: Stop complaining and get to work on the other chapters.
ME: I feel as though Hiei has control over this story now instead of me…what's wrong with that picture? Oh well, here's the third chappie and I hope you liked reading it! Please drop me a review and tell me what you think. Oh, and yes. There is a reason for all this craziness of not having the group be together. Hehe. Reviewing might help me update more so you can find out!
