A/N: Sorry guys

A/N: Sorry guys. I've been having some technical problems getting my computer to let me edit my stories to I can add this chapter. I don't know why but it has decided that I can't upload/edit things. It's really obnoxious. Also I've been spending a lot of time the last couple days cramming for a math test I took around 3:30 on Tuesday. Either it was really freakin' easy or all that studying really paid off cause I finished an hour before class was out (it's a 2 hour long class) and I feel like I did really well on it considering that last quarter this is the unit I failed miserably at. Anyways…let's get on with the story before I start getting hate mail.

I promise to try to get a chapter up at least once a week. I am a full time college student and I work 20 hours a week after all. It's not fair to expect much more from me.

Chapter Five

Anger

Yusuke, Kwubara, Genkai and Botan watched the two demons. None of them were quiet sure what would happen next. 'Though they each had their own thoughts on the matter.

"Where's Yukina?" Hiei asked without facing the others.

"She's right here but she was hurt when we were attacked." Botan said, trying to sound reassuring.

"How bad?"
"Not anywhere near as bad as Kurama was but she was thrown through a wall." Botan answered again. No one else seemed to have the courage to speak when the fire demon asked him or her a question. They all seemed to feel as if they'd let him down in some way by not realizing until it was already too late that they, well at least the girls and Kurama, were under attack.

Kurama watched Hiei's expression closely, wondering if he knew or at least might have an idea on who was behind the attack. Unfortunately Hiei's expression didn't change or reveal anything as to what he was thinking beyond that of anger. After a quick glance to the others in the room to see if their expressions would give away any clues as to what they were thinking beyond that of unsurety, the fox turned his attention back to the shorter demon in front of him.

"Hiei do you know who did it?" He finally asked.

"Yes and don't worry, I'll take care of them myself."

Hiei went over to Yukina, wanting to check her wounds for himself. Just as he got to her he heard a groan of pain escape from Kurama's mouth and spun around, his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Before Hiei could do much more Botan quickly moved to help the fox demon to sit back down. "You really shouldn't have gotten up Kurama." She motioned for one of the boys to get her something to help make him more comfortable.

Kurama shook his head. "No, I'm fine Botan." He looked at Hiei smiling a little. "I wish I could come with you, friend. I wouldn't mind repaying those demons for the pain they've caused."

"Hn. You're in no condition to fight fox." Hiei went to the door. He would have just ignored Kwubara if the giant oaf hadn't grabbed him roughly by the back of his shirt and proceeded to pick him up off the ground.

"You ain't goin' nowhere until we get some answers, shortie!" Kwubara snapped.

Hiei glared at the ningen. "I've no intention of explaining anything to you and if you don't let go of me I'll cut that hand of yours off."

"Kurama isn't just your friend Hiei and he wasn't the only one hurt!" The carrot top snapped again.

"Put him down you big baffoon." Genkai stated before taking a drag from the cigarette in her mouth and then flicking it at Kwubara.

Reluctantly he released his grip on Hiei's shirt, allowing the small demon to drop a foot to the floor and stand there with an incredibly annoyed look on his face.

"If Hiei thinks that he can deal with these demons on his own than let him. We've still got Koenma's job to take care of anyways." Genkai reminded all of them just as the fire demon left.

Hiei came upon the same clearing where he had run into Hikidasu previously and looked around, trying to sense where the portal was that would lead him to where the ice demons had held their counsel.

Hikidasu stepped out of the shadows toward Hiei. "Too bad you wont find what your looking for without my help." He smirked.

Hiei turned toward the older demon and glared at him. If he thought it would bring the others faster he would take Hikidasu's head off, but he knew better than that. "Now you're offering me help? In exchange for what?"

A/N: Sorry, this chapter's gotta end here or it'd give away the entire point of my next chapter and a good part of the story line and I don't wanna give away the plot just yet. Oh, here's something you guys might agree with. When I first started writing this story my friends were of the opinion that Hikidasu was a prick. I hadn't meant for him to be that way but I guess that's just the way he developed. shrugs and holds up hands innocently Oh well, what can you do?
