Hiei awoke, and found himself in Yazmin's room.

"Oh sure, now she lets me sleep in here," he muttered. His cloak was off, and Yazmin was sleeping at her desk. He got up and grabbed his cloak, putting it on. He jumped out the window, and into the tree. He decided to go back to sleep there.

...

"Hiei!" The demon opened his eyes slowly.

"What is it, Spirit Boy?" he asked, a little tired. Yusuke was panting.

"Ryoku," he whispered. Hiei smelled the air. Blood. He stared at Yusuke, and saw he was holding his side.

"Detective, what's up with you? And why do I smell blood?" Yusuke fainted then. Hiei jumped down to the ground, and helped him stand. His right side was bleeding.

"Hiei! Yusuke!" Hiei looked back, and saw Kurama and Kuwabara running towards them.

"I need help," Hiei said, letting Yusuke's limp body lean on him for support. Kuwabara took Yusuke and flung him over his shoulder.

"What happened to Urameshi?" Kuwabara asked, looking at his friend. Hiei shrugged.

"He only said 'Ryoku' before passing out," he explained.

"Ryoku? The demon that's after Yazmin?" Hiei's eyes widened before jumping up to Yazmin's window.

In Yazmin's room...

Yazmin yawned. Her window was closed, but her curtains were wide open. She decided to eat breakfast downstairs. She ran down the stairs, and saw a note.

"Probably since JJ's house arrest bracelet is off, he left a note saying he was gone at a friend's," she thought. But when she read the note, she gasped and felt tears prickling her eyes.

It read;

Momochi/Yazmin,

Would you like to see your family alive again? If not, then don't even bother coming. But if you do, which you probably do, then meet me at the temple at precisely noon to get the humans. And for proof that they're kidnapped, look at the photograph. And don't involve your protector, or any of his friends, or the humans will never, ever wake up. I hope to see you soon...

Ryoku

It was 11:36. Yazmin shakily grabbed the photograph, and let silent tears fall down her cheeks. JJ and Keanu were tied up, and knives were aiming towards their throats. Yazmin ran up the stairs to get ready.

"I can't believe that demon bastard has my dad and JJ hostage," she kept saying. She saw Hiei turn around and jump back to the ground without seeing her. She closed the curtains and ran into the bathroom.

"I only have about twenty minutes to get to the temple," she said, stripping her clothes and turning on the shower. She jumped in, and inhaled sharply at the icy water. She washed her hair, and scrubbed her body.

"OK... I only have ten minutes to get to the temple?! SHIT!!" She put on her outfit and ran outside, carefully looking around to make sure Hiei, or the rest of the Spirit Detectives weren't following her.

"Yazmin?" She hid behind a tree, recognizing the voice. It was Kuwabara. "Where are you?"

"You big oaf, did you find her yet?" Yazmin gulped. It was Hiei, and he had concern in his tone.

"Not yet, but let's keep looking!" Yazmin sighed softly, quietly enough so the two wouldn't hear her.

"Then let's go see Fox and Spirit Boy, to see if they found her yet!" Hiei said, running the way Yazmin hoped he would run. She heard Kuwabara run after him. She sighed shakily and sadly.

"I'm sorry, Hiei." She ran towards the forest, where the temple was, as fast as she could. She needed to get her family.

At the temple...

"So, the foolish Shape Shifter is really coming?" a demon said in a dark, but amused voice. JJ was sleeping, but Keanu was glaring hard at the demon. He was tied up and his mouth was duct-taped, as well as JJ's.

"Try to store all this stuff in your head, Pathetic Human," the demon told Keanu. Keanu growled through the tape.

"Bastard! He's holding JJ and me hostage to get to my baby girl?! How dare he?!" Keanu thought bitterly. He looked around, and saw a small, but beautiful girl with mint green hair floating from the ground, as well as an old woman with long, pale, curly pink hair. Both of the women's eyes were closed, but they were both breathing, relieving Keanu a bit.

"But Yazmin, please don't do something that'll hurt you or JJ. I don't think I could afford to lose you both."

With the search party...

"Where's Yazmin?!" Kuwabara asked the kitsune frantically. He shook his head.

"You couldn't find her either?" Hiei growled loudly. Everyone looked towards the fire demon. He was angrier than ever. Kurama patted his shoulder comfortingly. He bent down towards his ear.

"We all know you love her," he whispered so Hiei could only hear. He swatted him away.

"I do not!" he yelled into his face. Kuwabara and Yusuke were surprised by the sudden outburst.

"You just don't know how to deal with it, Hiei," Kurama said calmly. Hiei smacked him in the head, hard, and ran away. Kurama held his head.

"He'll be fine, you guys," the red-headed kitsune insisted, but they weren't so sure.

The runaway...

Yazmin panted. She still had to run up the rest of the flight of stairs, and it was almost noon. She could sense a familiar ki, but didn't know who the demon really was. She ran up the stone steps and met up with the demon, Ryoku.

"So, you must be Yazmin, the human. That means you're human family will live," he said in a dark voice, grabbing her arm. He looked around and saw no signs of any other demons or humans, and he smirked. "And you held out your end of the deal, and brought no other demons or humans, so as an added bonus, those two will live also."

She looked behind him and gasped. Yukina and Genkai were floating from the ground, not moving, but still breathing. He let them down gently, but when they reached the ground, they were still sleeping.

"Would you like to see the humans for the last time?" he asked. Yazmin scowled, but nodded. Ryoku led her into the temple, and Yazmin gasped at the sight. Keanu and JJ were both sleeping, but Keanu had trouble breathing.

"I had to beat him in order to make him sleep," Ryoku explained. Yazmin growled. Ryoku pull Yazmin's face close to his. "Time to go to the Makai, Lovely." Ryoku threw Yazmin over his shoulder, and he left.

"What do you want with me?" Yazmin asked angrily. Ryoku chuckled evily.

"I wanna torture you to death, letting you die the way your parents died."

"My parents? Oh, Momochi's parents..."

"And there's the portal," Ryoku said, pointing to the open portal. He was about to walk through it when a voice stopped him, and made Yazmin go into a trance.

"Hey! Let Yazmin go, you bastard!"

You all should know who that would be. But, in case you don't, you're gonna have to wait until next chapter to know. And I know, the story is starting to suck. But now, I don't have writer's block anymore! :D

Hiei: No one cares.

... I can see why Kuwabara hates you. OK, please review!
