The next chapter is up and ready to go! Thanks again for all the reviews you guys! I appreciate all the feedback! As usual you all kick ass!

In the Ningenki…

The group watched the portal seal shut as Koenma appeared. Hiei drew his sword and pointed it at the new king.

"Open it," he said ferociously.

Koenma shook his head.

"I can't Hiei. I set it so that it does not open even if I am killed. It's set to end when a specific thing happens in the Makai. I'm sorry," he said sympathetically.

"She's still down there!" he seethed.

"Yusuke's still down there too! And Kurama and Kat! What happened?" Keiko asked fearfully.

Koenma shook his head.

"I don't know. But let me see if I can find out," he said walking to the large window.

He waved his hand across it and suddenly the Makai was shown. He touched a specific place and the window zeroed in.

"What is this?" Kuwabara asked confused.

"I'm watching to see what happened," he said squinting.

"Hey look! That's Yusuke!" Botan shouted pointing to the screen.

Everyone's eyes widened.

In the Makai…

Yusuke flew through the woods holding the injured wolf demon to him tightly. He realized after a short while that the two other demons were not following them. He stopped behind a tree to catch his breath and looked down.

"How we doing?" he asked and Hatorra looked up at him weakly.

"N-Not the g-greatest. B-But m-my dad's d-dead…that's g-good news…" she muttered.

Yusuke nodded.

"Yeah, Hiei took him out," he said and Hatorra's eyes widened slightly.

"Is he okay?" she asked quickly.

Yusuke nodded.

"He was injured, but Yukina patched him up. He's fine now and so is Kasei, but that's why I'm here and not him. He wanted to come," he said firmly.

"They're just waiting for me to bring you home," he said grinning.

Hatorra smiled weakly.

"B-But we're quarantined…" she trailed off.

Yusuke nodded.

"Has that ever stopped me before?" he asked and Hatorra let out a small chuckle.

He took her to a small cave on the outskirts of Gandara above the large city. He laid her down carefully and opened his backpack.

"I'm not a healer so bear with me," he said, but she wasn't looking at him.

He followed her eyes to Gandara.

"All those people…" she whispered.

Yusuke nodded.

"Yeah, but they're holding their own," he said and she looked at him confused.

He motioned to the city.

"Look, it's not burned to the ground yet and Mukuro still has her army fighting. Looks like someone in Gandara united the people and are fighting back. Otherwise, why hasn't Mukuro taken over yet?" he pointed out.

"That's s-strange…" she whispered and looked to see what Yusuke was doing.

He had pulled out ointments and bandages. He seemed to be trying to figure out what ointments did what. Hatorra touched a green bottle.

"Use this…it stops the bleeding and prevents infection," she said softly.

Yusuke nodded and opened the bottle pouring it on some bandages.

"This might hurt," he said uneasily.

"When doesn't it?" she asked and lifted her shirt some.

Yusuke couldn't contain his wince.

How is she still alive?

Puncture wounds littered her body. Gaping bite marks and deep claw marks bled steadily down her chest and stomach. Hatorra watched Yusuke's face and smiled weakly.

"Apparently…I taste delicious," she joked and it worked.

He laughed and felt a little better. Then he began the tedious process of cleaning the wounds. Hatorra closed her eyes tightly and dug her nails into the dirt ground. She held her breath as he worked as quickly as possible.

"I'm so sorry Torra, but these wounds are really, really giving me a hard time…along with the fact that I have no idea what I'm doing," he added.

Hatorra hissed as he touched a particular wound on her stomach. She grabbed his wrist tightly and he froze. After a short pause, she released his hand.

"Sorry…that stung more than the others," she whispered.

Yusuke nodded and moved to her legs. When he finished bandaging her up the 2 bandage rolls he had were finished.

"I think I bandaged all of them. Not the greatest, but it'll hold until I figure out how to get us out of here. Also, that just bandaged up the external wounds. You probably have internal bleeding," he said wiping some blood off her lip.

He helped Hatorra sit up against the wall of the cave and sat beside her. He wiped his forehead tiredly.

"Those two demons were no joke. Their ki alone made me nervous," he admitted.

Hatorra nodded.

"They were my father's closest companions…a pact of friends…kind of like us," she said and he looked at her.

She turned to look at him and shrugged.

"Don't get all sentimental on me. I'm just saying that they were a close knit group like we are," she revised her statement.

Yusuke nodded.

"Well, just so you know, they won't be fulfilling that promise to your dad. They'll have to go through me first," he said firmly.

Hatorra let her head rest on his shoulder and took in a weak breath.

"I want to go home Yusuke…but if I have to be stuck here with someone, I don't mind that it's you," she smirked against his shoulder.

Yusuke grinned.

"A compliment and an insult in the same sentence! That's a new one for you!" he laughed and she tried to suppress her painful laughter.

In the Ningenki…

Hiei turned to Koenma.

"Do you see her injuries? She won't last the night let alone until the quarantine is over! Just give me access! I'll go and retrieve them and bring them here and then you can quarantine the Makai," Hiei said angrily.

Koenma shook his head.

"And risk demons like the two Yusuke was just talking about becoming free? It's too risky Hiei. I can't allow it," he said firmly.

Hiei stared at the King and seriously considered the consequences of impaling him with his sword. Kasei ran downstairs then with Daisuke, Hideki, and Yuki.

"We heard Uncle Yusuke and mommy! Are they back?" Kasei asked happily.

She saw the screen and frowned confused.

"What is this?" she questioned.

"Is that mommy?" she asked and looked at her father.

"Daddy, what's going on?" she inquired.

"Where are my parents?" Daisuke chimed in.

Hiei looked at his daughter.

"They're all still in the Makai," he said calmly.

Kasei's eyes widened.

"B-But I want mommy," she said sadly.

Me too… Hiei thought weakly.

"What about those two demons Yusuke mentioned? He said he was nervous about their ki. And they were friends of Torra's dad. And what of that promise they made him that Yusuke won't let happen?" Kuwabara asked curiously.

Hiei turned to Koenma.

"I'm going to ask you one more time before I—" he began to threaten when a gasp was heard on the screen.

In the Makai…

Yusuke had just moved Hatorra's head out of the way of an incoming ax.

The two demons jumped up onto the cave entrance and smirked.

"Found you," the female cooed.

Yusuke got a better look at them. She had pitch black long hair with a blue streak running through it. Her eyes were an icy blue. The male also had long black hair and piercing red eyes. Hatorra managed to get to her feet slowly.

"The infamous daughter…I expected more," the female said eyeing her.

"Do not judge her by her look Isome…remember I did that when I first met you and regretted it," he smirked.

Isome chuckled.

"That you did," she replied coolly.

Yusuke looked at Hatorra.

"You're in no condition to fight," he whispered.

Hatorra shrugged.

"What does it matter? They're going to attack either way. I'd rather go down fighting," she shot back.

"You have a strong will my girl, but strong will, unfortunately, will not be enough to defeat us," the male said.

"Oh really Hiroku, don't get all fatherly on her. She's the enemy and must be eliminated. So let's kill her and be done with it," Isome said viciously.

They took a step forward and were about to attack when a rose whip wrapped around Hiroku's arm. He glared and cut free from it turning to see who his attacker was.

"We have company Isome," he said dangerously low.

Isome turned and her eyes widened. Youko Kurama and Kat stood behind them, weapons out and ready.

"Get the hell away from them, mother," Kat seethed.

"Back away," Youko Kurama said just as deadly.

Yusuke and Hatorra's eyes widened.

"Mother?" Yusuke questioned shocked.

"K-Kurama? Kat? You're alive?" Hatorra questioned confused.

Kat shot her a grin. Her skin was back to its pale color and her eyes were back to their icy blue. She actually looked great.

"Hello daughter," Isome rolled her eyes.

"You always had the worst timing," she added.

"Really, because this is pretty damn good timing," Yusuke grinned.

"It's four on two. You're options are limited," Youko Kurama said calmly.

Hiroku smirked.

"Don't ever underestimate us," he said and fire shot from his hands at the two.

Kurama and Kat dodged and Isome and Hiroku escaped the cave and took off into the forest. Hatorra stared at the two Kitsunes. Kat walked over to her, but Hatorra moved back some. She looked to her brother. He was out of his Youko form.

"Why did you leave m-me?" she asked suddenly and he looked at her.

"I was trying to protect you," he said calmly.

Hatorra frowned.

"By leaving me unconscious in a puddle of my own blood alone in the Makai while war raged through Gandara?" she asked upset.

"You were conscious when I left. War hadn't broken out yet and I was occupied with Kat, who was trying to kill us at the time," he replied.

Hatorra shook her head. That wasn't good enough, but she let it go for now.

"Where did you go?" she inquired further.

"I took Kat to Mukuro for help. She was able to help Kat with her…condition and then left to wage war on Gandara after we learned of Yomi's death from one of her scouts. As soon as Kat woke back up, we left to find you," he explained.

"Hatorra, I am so sorry for what I did. You won't ever have to worry about that happening again. Please let me heal you," she said smiling.

Hatorra looked at her friend. Something was different about her.

"Why?" she asked.

"Because Mukuro had this man seal the demon within me. She'll never hurt anyone again, myself included, because she's sealed away forever," Kat said brightly.

Hatorra's eyes widened.

"That's your demon form! You're ki will be reduced to almost human!" she said shocked.

Kat shrugged.

"I still have part of my demon form, just not all of it anymore. And I say it's about time," she said happily.

Hatorra looked to Kurama, who nodded. She turned to Yusuke, who shrugged. Kat nodded quickly.

"I just want to go home, hug our son, and get ready to have another," she said patting her stomach.

Hatorra's eyes widened.

She's still pregnant?

"What the hell is going on?" she asked bluntly.

And then she felt it. The adrenaline and shock wore off completely. Her knees gave out and blood spilled from her mouth. Yusuke caught her before she hit the ground.

"She has internal injuries," Kat said calmly moving forward.

She placed her hands on Hatorra's side. Nothing happened. Kat's eyes widened.

"What is this?" she questioned shocked.

Yusuke held the coughing wolf close to his body. Her skin was freezing.

"Why aren't you healing her?" Yusuke asked fearfully.

Kat shook her head confused.

"I-I don't know. This has never happened to me before," she said nervously.

Hatorra began to tremble. Yusuke gasped as her blood began to seep through the bandages.

"Kat, do you think your healing power could have been sealed with your demon?" Kurama asked quickly.

Kat shook her head.

"N-No! They are different forms entirely! I learned to heal! I don't need to be in my demon form to do it! What the fuck is going on?" she yelled frustrated.

Yusuke turned the wolf demon over carefully. Kat began to cry as tear gems clunked to the ground. Kurama stared on in shock.

"Hey Torra, you stay with me okay? You die and Hiei won't let me go back home," he tried to joke.

The wolf demon's eyes were closed. She wasn't moving anymore. Yusuke nodded shakily and touched her cold cheek softly.

"Listen, I can't imagine how much pain you're in. It must be excruciating. But you need to find a way to fight back. Deal with this. You have to come back with us alive, do you hear me? You can't die! We didn't change our future so that you can go and die on us! It's not right! Kasei is at the temple waiting for me to bring you home to her! She's counting on me to keep you alive! Hatorra, open your eyes! Stay with me!" he roared.

Hatorra's eyes opened weakly. Yusuke blinked back tears and took in a much needed deep breath.

"Oh shit, thank god you're alive," he said petting her hair back.

In the Ningenki…

Hiei let out a deep, shaky breath and grabbed his chest. His mark seared painfully against his neck.

She's dying…but…trying so hard to hang on. Please hang on Hatorra. Please…

Hideki wiped Kasei's tears before they turned into tear gems. He took her face in his hands and forced her to look at him. She blinked back tears as she stared at him.

"Hey, my dad is going to bring your mom home alive. He promised and he doesn't break his promises," he said and Kasei nodded weakly.

She leaned into Hideki's shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her, holding her tightly.

Mwhahaha! More to come! Please remember to try to give me reviews! I love them! :D
