Dims: Hi! This is the first thing that I've updated in a while. Sorry. I had a play, important family business, got grounded, and a funeral, so I haven't had an amazing amount of time to work on these.

Era: Plus she's still P.O.ed that no one reviewed on Chapter four of Dark Angel

Dims: Yeah...whats up with that. I know it's short, but I don't kno whether anybody liked it or not. I can't come up with what to write next unless I know if it was okay or if it sucked, because if it sucked, I'll rewrite it, and that could change the whole plot of the story.

Era: that aside, please enjoy this chapter.

Dims: I can't believe I actually got you to say all that.

Era: Don't push it.

Keiko was crying hysterically on the couch, tears silently escaping her husband's eyes as well as he sat next to her, comforting her. "We don't have time for a sob-fest," Hiei said in his usual gruff manner. "If you want to save Sahara then I suggest we make a plan." Yusuke looked at him solemnly and said, "I know just the guy."

Koenma returned to Reikai extremely shaken. Of course, you can't kill the prince of Reikai; his human form was simply extremely damaged. It returned to the spirit world infirmary while he returned as a spirit as Botan guided him through the sky.

"Kurama? We have a problem, how soon can you be here," Yusuke said into the phone. "Ten minutes? Thanks Kurama."

Five minutes later, the doorbell rang. It was opened only a nanosecond later by an extremely nervous Keiko. Her eyes were red and puffy.

"This way," she said, fidgeting with her apron as she led him into the kitchen. Time had been kind to Kurama, and he looked about twenty-five. He no longer wore the purple school uniform, but a white shirt and black pants, over which he still had his doctor's coat.

"Thanks for coming Kurama," Yusuke said quietly. He was still extremely shaken.

"What's going on that's so urgent, Yusuke. You look like Keiko just died."

Yusuke looked up at him, sadness, but even more rage in his usually smiling brown eyes. "Those bastards from Spirit World took MY daughter for some damn prophecy.

Kurama's eyes widened as Yusuke recited the prophecy.

In the 3000th year of the dragon, by the calendar of Spirit world, three days from now, the child of human and Hanyou must be thrown into the deepest pits of Makai or the world will crumble. "Something like that," Yusuke said, now glaring a hole in the wall behind Kurama.

Kurama thought for a moment, then recalling a distant memory. "I think I have heard of this prophecy before, and there's a way out of it." Instantly, Yusuke's full attention was on him, eyes alert and waiting, ready to do whatever it was he needed to do to save his daughter. "There are two methods of avoiding this prophecy. The first is to assemble three absolutely pure people. Each must shed a tear in the center of the atrium of time. The second is not one I would suggest, for it simply substitutes one person for the sacrifice. The closest friend of the sacrifice must throw themselves in instead. I think it would be preferable to go with the first option."

"If there are other options to avoid the sacrifice, why doesn't Spirit World simply do that instead?" Keiko asked.

"The full document of the prophecy has been lost to Spirit World in a great fire that happened thousands of years ago, and even if anyone had known it, they are dead now. If we attempted to inform the people in spirit world, they will assume it is a trick to get Sahara back. We also have no evidence other than my memory, for that scroll was in my keeping years before Spirit World ever got its hands on it." He then turned back to Yusuke and Hiei. "In order to find The List of the Pure, we will need access to Spirit World's files."

"But they'll will never let us into their file room," Yusuke interrupted.

"Nor do we have time to steal the list," Hiei added.

Kurama quirked an eyebrow. "Really Yusuke, do you think I could have given up thieving entirely?"

It had been nearly three hours and nothing I tried worked. Attempts to remove the wards were futile, only serving to scorch my hands. I tried to overload the wards, surging so much spirit energy to the channel points that the wards couldn't contain it. All that got me was spirit energy raging through my body, healing the minor cuts and burns I had sustained. The wards also contained my telepathy, another one of my many handy gifts I cannot explain, and so I couldn't contact anyone for help. So, I went to my last resort, brute force. I was banging up on the door, already having caused cracks to appear, but it seemed that they had reinforced it with spirit energy, as whenever I hit the door, I was practically electrocuted.

"Finally!" Kurama cried. He had been working for nearly three hours, and had finally hacked into the computer system of Spirit World and found the List of the Pure. Yusuke and Keiko immediatly ran in from the next room where they had been waiting anxiously, and stood at his right side. Hiei zipped in from his position on the roof, guarding the Urameshi household, the stand to Kurama's left.

Kurama was slumped in his chair from weariness and the strain on his eyes was apparent. "What's it say?" Yusuke asked impatiently, unable to read Spirit World's written language.

The small prince sat in his office. He had only just been put back in his body, which had "mysteriously disappeared" from the Urameshi household soon after his arrival in Spirit World. He sighed. He didn't want to throw Sahara in there by herself. He had watched her from Spirit world whenever he got the chance. But what else could he do? It was either throw her to the wolves, or let the all three worlds be destroyed. He couldn't let that happen, no matter what. It was one of the toughest decisions he would ever have to make in his entire existence, but there really wasn't any choice, was there?

I was absolutely exhausted and numb all over. I stared up in the ceiling. It was dripping onto my face. Come save me daddy. Please.

Kurama began to translate.

"Here is written a current list of those souls which, according to the laws of judgement have kept themselves completely and utterly pure. They are as follows:

Yukina of the Koorime

Hesui Enkai

Kochi Irihi"

My fufillment is nearly at hand. That day draws near. Only three more days

Dims: Ooh...whatdja thinks gonna happen?

Sahara: Rescue me already!

Dims: ah ah ah Sahara, you have to go along with the story line (which may need re-thinking)

Yusuke: Oh yeah, and if you don't review this time, Dims will begin seriously considering discontinueing her stories and stopping writing this stuff.

Dims: Thanks Yusuke!
