Disclaimer: Just see the others...It really hasn't changed much.

Third Person POV

The three hooded men were camped close by to Pyrius' camp. The tallest was not happy about the situation.

"Brother, stop pacing," the second tallest said. "You are making me dizzy."

"Yeah, maybe you should find a hot spring or something," the shortest of about 5'5" said.

"How can I relax? That boy is being used and Human World might very well be in danger and it's all my fault."

"Stop beating yourself up about it. You had no idea that anything would turn out this way."

"That doesn't mean I should have let this happen…"

Hiei POV

Seeing Kiyoshi made me feel so much better, but now I was less at ease around the men. Dana took Kiyoshi to a lake nearby to wash the smell of Human World off of him. How he hadn't been attacked I'll never know.

I was on edge and so was Kurama. I think Pyrius took notice and decided to have a "talk" with me.

"What is it, old man," I asked darkly.

"I have a feeling that you're starting to not trust me," he said. "What happened last night?"

"Didn't sleep well," I responded. "Surely you can understand that."

"Ah yes, pre-raid jitters. Well, we start moving again today. Only two more days, son, and then we will be able to get our hands on it."

"If you don't mind me asking, father, what is the 'it' we are trying to get our hands on?" Not like I didn't know already.

"Let's just say it will change the world," he said vaguely. "Now if you don't mind, I am going to get the men ready to leave."

Pyrius left me alone in his tent with the artifact sitting right on a table. Now was my chance, but he would definitely notice it was gone when he got back.

"Try this," I heard Kurama say from behind me. He held out a replica of the orb that we needed to steal back.

I quickly switched the two and then we quietly left the tent.

"Hey, lookie here," one of the men said. We looked over at the group. One of the demons was holding Kiyoshi.

I panicked. Pyrius knew that he was my son and looked over to me smirking.

"Look who decided to join us, my boy," he said. I tried to remain calm as I walked over. "It is a surprise. You haven't been spying on us, right little boy?"

Kiyoshi glared at Pyrius with a look of disgust. Yes, definitely my son.

"Why would I?" he spat.

"Perhaps to report back to Spirit World," Pyrius suggested. I growled but Pyrius ignored it.

"He doesn't even work for Spirit World," I said. "Release him."

"Why should we?" the other demons asked. I took out my sword. I knew I was taking a big risk because Pyrius could think me to be disloyal, but no one threatened to hurt my son and got away from it.

"Let the boy go," Pyrius said. "He might be useful to us."

I looked over to Pyrius and glared. "How do you figure?"

"Well, if you step out of line, we could always use your son as a way to put you back in it."

Pyrius left Kurama, Kiyoshi, and I at our tent. We were about to move out when the three of us silently agreed. We were getting out of there tonight.

Yusuke POV

So Yomi was true to his word and got us the artifact. Koenma was thrilled knowing that Human World would be safe whether or not Hiei and Kurama got the other artifact.

"So now what?" Kuwabara asked.

"Now we wait for Kurama to report," Koenma said. "He and Hiei should be getting closer to the fortress."

"How long?" I asked.

"One day," he answered.

"Koenma!" we heard Julia yell as she ran into the office.

"Julia? What's wrong?" I asked.

"I called Kiyoshi's friend. He was supposedly staying there for a week and I wanted to check on him. When I called, the mother said that Kiyoshi wasn't there. I think he ran away…I think he went to Demon World to find Hiei."

"What makes you think that?" Kuwabara asked.

"Because Ayame mentioned it to me, well, more like she was talking to herself. I think she helped him find a portal."

Damn, Hiei was going to be pissed if he found out. Well, maybe not…but he would be worried. I could understand Kiyoshi's point of view, though. He missed his dad and was worried. No one could blame the kid for wanting to help.

"Can you guys get to the camp?" Koenma asked us. "Just to make sure you can get Kiyoshi out of there."

We agreed and headed back to the portal. This was gonna be a long day.

Third Person POV

That night, Hiei, Kurama, and Kiyoshi met up with Kenta and Dana. Hiei had the artifact and they were getting ready to head back to Spirit World. When they got to a portal, Yusuke and Kuwabara came out of it.

"What are you two doing here?" Kurama asked.

"Coming to get Kiyoshi," Yusuke said. "Hey, you got the artifact."

"Yes, and we need to hurry," Hiei said. "The camp is only a couple miles away and Pyrius is just as fast as I am."

"Yeah, about that…" Yusuke muttered. "We got some information from Koenma. That guy isn't Pyrius."

"What?" Hiei asked.

"Yeah, it's like one of those Netherworld demons that pretended to be that guy, Kuronue," Kuwabara stated. "It's not really your father."

Hiei was relieved to hear that, but angry that anyone would try to pull one over on him and threaten his kids. He looked back in the direction of the camp.

"Another day, Hiei," Kurama said. "What's important is getting Kiyoshi out of here and the artifact back to Spirit World."

Hiei nodded and the seven of them escaped through the portal.

A/N: Well, we're at the beginning of the end. Next chapter is going to be a chapter explaining who the men in black are. It might come as a shock, it might not...I know I've hinted to it enough. And yay, now Human World can't be destroyed :)
