Hey everyone! Sorry for taking so long, it was homecoming at my university and I had to learn a new marching show and do a parade. Ugh, whoever decided parades were fun for marching bands is an idiot...jus sayin. :) Anyways, you know the drill so I hope you enjoy!


The nurse paced as Isabella's screams echoed through the halls. She didn't know what else to do. She had already gathered all of the heating pads and blankets she could and still, nothing seemed to help her. The doctor came out looking like he had fought with her, "We had to strap her down."

The nurse ran a hand through her short blue locks and sighed, "I don't know what to do."

He nodded, "I know."

Botan came down the hallway and up to the nurse, "How is she?"

The doctor sighed and walked down the hall. The nurse swallowed, "Nothing is helping. Even Maria can't keep her clam anymore. We had to strap her down."

Botan thought for a moment. The others had been gone for a few hours now and they were supposed to be back anytime. "If they don't get back soon, I'll send for Hiei. I think he could keep her stable."

Another scream of pain irrupted and the nurse winced, "Okay."


Victoria was breathing heavily and covered in blood. Jonathan rose from the ground and steadied himself. They had been fighting for a while and were both worn down. She leaned against the wall, "I'm going to finish this now."

He smirked, "I'm sure you are."

She could hear the boys fighting outside. Jonathan had sent his army out after them. She had one more shot at this. Jonathan lunged at her and she easily flipped out of the way. Okay girl…it's now or never. She gathered her energy and pulled it into a ball. Jonathan lunged at her again and she didn't move. Instead she held out her hand and let his chest run into the ball. He screamed in pain.

"I told you," Victoria weakly said, falling to one knee.

Jonathan fell to the ground and turned to dust. She also heard the fighting outside cease. She chuckled weakly and fell to the floor. Kurama and the others came in the room to see her covered in blood. Kurama rushed to her side. Yusuke's communicator went off.

"Yusuke, where is Hiei," came Botan's voice.

"He's right here, why?"

She swallowed, "I need him here, now."

Hiei's blodd froze. Something had happened.

Yusuke looked at his friend and back at the communicator, "He's on his way now." He closed the compact and looked around the room, "Go ahead and get to Bella. We'll clean this mess up."

Kurama nodded, "Victoria isn't hurt bad, she just needs sleep. Most of this blood is Jonathan's."

In a flash, Hiei was gone. The other three looked worriedly at each other and sighed. Kuwabara then thought of Yukina, "Come on, I wanna go home."


As soon as Hiei walked through the portal he could fell Isabella's energy. Koenma looked at him and nodded, "You better get in there. They can't hold her much longer."

He hurried through the doors to where he saw Maria pacing. She looked up at him and let out a breath, "Thank God you're here."

He nodded to her and walked through the door. His eyes widened slightly at the sight before him. Isabella no longer had the chocolate locks he remembered. Her hair was now a fiery red. Her skin was slightly paler. She had straps attaching her to the bed. She opened her eyes which were back to silver and looked at him. He walked over and began to undo the straps. He knew her body was in attack mode, she had switched to her demon form. Well, one of them. For every element, she had a form. He felt her arm and smirked. Her body temperature was scorching. She swallowed and looked away.

"Bella, have you been causing problems," he teased, "I thought I told you to stay out of trouble."

She turned her head and glared at him. He placed a hand on her forehead and felt her relax. She sighed, "It's hard for me to control this form. I try not to use it."

Her voice was almost gone. He knew it was painful to use her fire element and now it had temporaily taken over. He knew what he needed to do, "If I leave for a moment will you stay put?"

She rolled her eyes and nodded. He flitted from the room and she laid back into the pillows. She opened her eyes when she heard the door click. Heie locked the door and turned out the light, making the room dark. He then walked over to the bed and took off his sword. Isabella understood what he was doing and slid over slightly. When she felt his presence beside her she sighed and closed her eyes. He turned on his side and placed an arm around her protectively. She scooted closer as he raised his body temp. he almost chuckled when she buried her face in his chest.

"Rest now," he ordered. Within moments she was out.


Victoria woke in her room to see her wounds had been bandaged. She scrunched her nose when she noticed she still needed a shower. She then went into her bathroom and started the shower. Isabella's energy was now relaxed. Victoria figured Hiei was with her. "Where he should be," she said to no one.

When the shower was hot, she got in and let the water run over her shoulders. She turned towards the shower head and felt a pair of strong hands grab her shoulders. Following instincts, she spun around and held her victim against the wall. Her eyes almost popped out of her head when her victim was a now laughing fox.

"Still in attack mode?" He teased.

She chuckled and released him, "Maybe. I'm just not used to kitsunes sneaking in my shower."

He pulled her close, "Well, I suggest you get accustomed to it."

She rolled her eyes and backed under the showerhead. Kurama stepped towards her and placed his hand on her shoulders and began rubbing."

She closed her eyes and leaned into him slightly. He chuckled and rubbed the back of her neck, working his way into her hair. She moaned, "If you keep this up, I won't mind you sneaking into my showers."

"Good," he brought their lips together gently. She ran her hands on his chest and he shuddered.

"What's wrong kitsune? Too much to handle," she teased.

He growled and pushed her against the shower wall, "No dear, not at all."

She opened her mouth to say something with his hungry kiss caught her attention. I hope Koenma doesn't mind a high water bill, she thought.

Kurama laughed and pulled away, "I don't think he will."


Maria got out of the shower and put on a pair of jeans and a yellow tight t-shirt with a v-neck. She brushed out her hair and walked out of the bathroom to see Yusuke sitting on her bed holding bandages, "I need some assistance."

She raised an eyebrow, "What if I say no?"

He smiled, "You won't."

She laughed and sat down on the bed, "Silly boys and your fighting."

He laughed and took off his shirt. She placed bandages on one of his arms and began cutting strips for his chest. She placed one on his well toned torso and prepared the other. He watched her closely, loving the feeling of her hands on him. She pressed the last bandage on him and went to pull her hands away. He gently grabbed them and kept them in place. She looked up at him and rested her hand there. He couldn't take it any longer. His lips met hers with a deep kiss, his hands working their way into her hair. She ran her hands around his neck. He growled softly and pulled her closer. She pulled her lips away and looked at him.

"Maria, you don't have to worry. I would never hurt you," he looked into her eyes. She smiled and claimed his lips. He ran his hands up her shirt and slid it off, kissing down her neck. He then pulled her into his lap and ran his hands down her back. He looked over to the door and sighed. With a flick of her wrist, the door locked itself and turned back to Yusuke. He laughed and threw her on the bed.


Yukina sat in a chair by the window and read silently. Her stomach's small mound rose and fell with her soft breathing. She looked up and smiled when Kuwabara came in, "Kazuma, I'm glad you are safe."

He smiled and sat down in the window, "How are you?"

She sighed, "Tired."

He laughed, "So, what happens after she's born?"

Yukina sighed, "I will take her to my homelands and place her under care."

He sat in silence for a moment, "It will be hard won't it?"

"Yes. Giving your child away isn't exactly ideal."

He thought for a moment, "Well, you won't be childless forever."

She looked at him and smirked, "I know."
