Good evening beauties. I do not own any YU YU Hakusho characters, just Aiko, Lady Shino, Madame Red, Shin and Hiro.

Aiko P.o.V:

I bit back a sound as I saw the three familiar faces below. The monkey man on the man called older Toguro had just turned into a sword, while the man had grown bigger again. I watched as he charged them and slammed the sword down barely missing the boys and crushing the ground beneath. The boys recovered but not before a slit formed in their clothing. Yukina clutched my arm and I swallowed hard trying to ignore her scent of fear. I placed my hand on hers hoping to ease her sense of dread. Looking back down at the boys I saw Kuwabara had summoned his spirit sword barely in time block Toguro's attack. He was fast, too fast. It may be more than they can handle. I watched as Kuwabara struggled to hold the man back legs shaking as the strain showed on his face.

"Kazuma!" I shouted as Toguro's swung underneath the blade catching the boy in the stomach. Blood spurted from his mouth and I started forward only to have the back of my leg kicked harshly causing me to drop to my knees. I snarled viciously at the man swiping at him with partially changed hands catching his leg. My victory was short lived as I had a gun pressed into mouth roughly.

"Kazuma? You know that boy little girl?" Tarukane asked. I glared at him realizing I may have just blown my cover.

"The boss asked you a question." The second guard said shoving the gun into my teeth, roughly rubbing the metal against my teeth tearing my gums. Jerking my head to the side to spit out the blood from it, I made up a lie as I stood up.

"He spoke to me. As you can see the boy has spiritual prowess, telepathy seems to be one of his abilities." I said hoping he'd buy it. He did but Tarukane wasn't happy with it. I yelped as the hand with the ring caught me twisting my face to the side.

"You bitch, you spoke to them?! I am your master, you don't breathe, shit or sleep unless I tell you to. Fucking mongrel, is that clear?" He spat, face becoming beet red. I felt my jaw twitch and become difficult to close. I wasn't hungry, no I was just pissed. I snarled lowly glaring at him, watching his face go from livid to fearful. The guard held the gun to my face again and I got the picture stopping my growl but continuing to glare at the slug of a man. Suddenly I felt the force of Yusuke's energy and turned to the window again to see a hovering cloud of smoke falling to the ground. Did they get him? The smoke began to dissipate and I stiffened. Toguro stood, unscathed as the moment he entered. I bit my tongue again as Yusuke rushed him and fired his spirit gun point blank at Toguro's face.

"What?!" Tarukane exclaimed close to the glass. Once more however, the smoke dissipated and Toguro stood there with a…shield?! The sword can turn into a shield as well? This time I could not bite in a cry as Toguro swung at Yusuke sending the delinquent into the ground causing it to fracture under the force of him. I heard the gun click and realize I was inching towards the glass.

"Those Toguros are invincible, I can already smell my new money coming in." Tarukane said with a cackle that made my blood boil. "So how are you going to pay me Sakyo? Cash or credit." He said laughing at his own joke. I turned to look at Yukina who had closed her eyes and fought back tears. I remember when I used to look like that, scared, hopeless.

"Yukina." I said lowly with enough reassurance. She looked at me blinking away tears. "I told you. No more crying." I said with a grin. She started at me wide eyed as I grunted when the guard whacked the back of my head.

"Shut your yap." He snapped at me but I didn't stop looking at her. She didn't either. I had to be the rock for her, some form of light in the tunnel. But I wasn't too confident in Yusuke's odds right now. However, I wasn't going to show her that.

Takeshi P.o.V:

I rubbed my jaw, feeling something within me twist. Aiko had received injuries, I could feel the aches from it and it did not sit well in my gut. She had been injured before, but this was a consistent pain as if someone was beating on her. Hard enough so to almost make me double over. Yoko watched me bite down the pain as I hid it as mere impatience. However he knew me better. I watched the detective and his friend get pummeled into the ground, searching the screen for signs of her becoming more restless as I saw no sign of her. I knew this plan was stupid.

"Oooh, they're not going to make it are they?" Koenma whined asking Yoko. Confident and fearless leader of Spirit World. Hardly.

"You're certain it's them, the brothers?" Yoko asked calmly avoiding the question.

"I'd never forget that face." Koenma replied crossing his arms and staring at the screen.

"Yusuke is not ready for them." Yoko said brows knitting.

"Well of course he isn't no one is. Now why hasn't Hiei shown up, not that he could put a dent in the Toguro brothers either… Where are you going?" Koenma asked as Yoko began to walk away.

"We don't belong here. Voyeurism has never been my strength and waiting has never been Kuronue's. Excuse us." He answered looking back at Koenma before nodding his head at me. Finally.

Aiko P.o.V:

"Feel free to take a little extra time with them Toguro. I know how all you demon creatures are into torturing. Besides the Black Black club could use some good dirty fun and leave enough scrap for the dog up here. Human flesh is what you guys like." Tarukane cackled. I now stood by Yukina a guard on behind each of us, one with a hand on my shoulder another with a hand on hers. I turned to her as I heard her whimper and watched her turn away only to have Tarukane twist her face towards him. I let out a small growl as he touched her wanting nothing more than to rip his hand clean off. "Hey, why aren't you looking baby? I know that is the way you like it." he told her gripping her chin. "Humans getting killed cuz of you, just like that last one." He finished smugly and her eyes shot open. My heart broke at the look on her face as if she was seeing something I couldn't. The look was of grief and guilt that made my blood run cold. I bit my lip as my features softened. Tarukane spoke again but I was focused in on Yukina. My body contorted as my rage spilt over, I grunted falling to me knees. Not now.

"Hey get up!" the guard snarled at me but it all came out sluggish. I dug my nails into my hand, piercing the flesh and let out a small cry. 'Be still hound.' A voice flashed in my head. Hiei? I took in mouthfuls of air trying to calm myself. Hiei is here, he'll deal with this. Focus. Focus. FOCUS! The change slowed down leaving me aching and lightheaded. Tarukane gasped and I looked up weakly as all his attention was towards the window.

"What just happened?" he exclaimed as I weakly stood up.

"Simple old friend, you've lost the bet. I believe that is 66 trillion,50 billion, 200 million is the total you now owe me." A smooth voice spoke over the intercom. Was that thing always on?

"Well, I know that you founded the Black Black club, however we can't be associated with poor men." Another elderly voice replied.

"Bye and have fun standing in the bread line." Another insulted him making me grin wincing as my split lip stretched. I still wondered what happened, was Yusuke okay?

"Now Sakoshta, plan B. Start the chopper and make sure Yukina and that monster is with us. Nobody is going to shut down Gonzo Tarukane. Wha-huh?" Tarukane stopped as the door opened to reveal-

"Hiei." I cried out weakly still reeling from stopping my transformation suddenly. Hiei's eyes flicked from me to Yukina then scanned me once more. Then one moment he was there and the next he stood by Yukina and I. The guards collapsed and I stared in disbelief, feeling the murderous intent that rolled off Hiei in waves.

"The game is over, you ugly fool, I saw the talisman cards hung in the tower. That explains why I couldn't find her with my Jagan eye. But you can't run from death forever." Hiei said removing his cloak and handing it to me. I caught the hint and removed green shirt, pulling on the cloak.

"W-w-wait! I don't know who the hell you are but if it is money you are after we can talk. Listen here, that broad behind you makes jewels you wouldn't even believe. I can pump millions from her and the dog-"Tarukane never got to finish his statement as Hiei punched him square in the face sending the bastard flying into the glass cracking it a bit.

"Hiei- wait." I began reaching out towards him but he completely consumed by his rage. He swung at Tarukane until I lost count. I stood there conflicted on whether to stop him or let him kill the bastard. I snapped out of it as I heard Yusuke yell at Hiei to stop his onslaught on Tarukane's face.

"Hn. They're just afraid of justice." Hiei snarled grabbing a fistful of Tarukane's suit preparing to deliver the final blow. I reached out then grabbing onto his shoulder as Yukina gripped his arm.

"No! Please, no more. I beg of you." Yukina pleaded hugging Hiei's arm to her chest.

"Are you crazy? Is this not the man who tormented you ad made you his slave?" Hiei asked confused by her behavior.

"He is. I have to bear that but taking his life can't wash away all that he has done to me. It will only bring more pain. Just more nightmares. Please no more. I can't take it." She said ending with her voice cracking and tears falling from her crimson eyes clattering to the floor as jewels.

"Understood. I won't make you cry, he is too worthless for that." Hiei said features softening in a way I never saw before causing me to blush. For a demon with anger issues he was a great big brother.

"How can I ever thank you?" she asked him grinning at him hands held to her chest. As she continued to stare at him her eyes widened in familiarization. "You seem familiar." The statement causing Hiei to stiffen and dare I say it, blush. "But I am not sure why, who are you?" she asked. I waited for him to tell her, to reunite with her long lost brother.

"No one." He replied and I froze releasing his shoulder and staring at him in shock. "Just a member…" he began, he hesitated a bit before continuing. "Of the team." He finished looking back at the boys.

"Oh no I forgot about them." Yukina said following his gaze and hurrying out. She paused looking at me. "Do you require healing?" she asked me.

"I am fine. I heal quicker than they do." I joked nodding in the boys' direction.

"Oh right. Thank you both." She said hurrying out.

Hiei and I stood in silence for a bit before I slumped to the floor.

"Aiko. Are you truly that injured?" Hiei asked without looking at me.

"I've had worse. Most of it must be from lunch." I said before pausing. Did… I call that beast from today lunch?

"So you fed I take it?" he asked now looking at me.

"Yes. I got into a scuffle per say, I won but it got a few licks in." I said with a grin pushing my hair back from my face.

"I guess we didn't need to come here after all." Someone said and I perked up turning to see Takeshi and Shuichi eh- Kurama.

"How long have you two been standing here? Long enough right?" Hiei said straightening up and looking forward once more.

"Why don't you want to tell the girl? She deserves to know she has a brother." Kurama asked as Takeshi moved wordlessly to me.

"She deserves to be happy." Hiei responded a small smile tugging at his lips.

"I thought the two of those were one in the same." Kurama replied with a chuckle.

"This is the way I want it." Hiei replied the small smile now showing fully.

I listened to the two as Takeshi tilted my face side to side to assess the damage. He tsked as he lifted my lip examining my mouth.

"What did this?" he asked gruffly.

"A gun." I answered softly causing him to stiffen and look at Tarukane's limp form. "It's been taken care of Keshi." I spoke softly gaining his attention as his lips pulled back in a silent snarl.

"This plan was stupid." Takeshi snapped twisting my head to the side checking me like a worried mother. I blushed as he forced me to look at him. I stared at those stormy grey eyes feeling my heart beat against my chest, my mouth suddenly feeling dry. He was relieved, but underneath that was worry and anger.

"Wow, we've got a full house huh?" I heard a voice ring out in the small room.

"Yusuke!" I said with a grin.

"Blue, you look like crap." He said with a smile, ignoring the bruises and cuts on his face.

"I would say the same to you, but you always had a face only a mother could love." I snapped at the boy with a pout wincing again at the pain on my lip.

"Ouch Blue. Here I was trying to rescue you." He said scratching the back of his head. I tilted my head as Hiei walked out equally confusing Yusuke.

"It's a long story Yusuke. Can we leave now? I want to bathe and get patched up before Takeshi strips me down looking for more wounds. I have been naked in front of enough strangers today." I said sheepishly.

"What the hell does that mean Aiko?" Takeshi snapped earning chuckled throughout the room.

"I was making a joke out of the situation." I answered with a smile earning a scowl from the demon.

"I fail to see the humor, little one." He answered looking away from me clearly upset at my joking mannerisms. I sighed sitting up and planting a kiss on his cheek.

"Thank you for keeping your promise and coming to get me." I whispered to him causing him to look at me with a frown.

"Did you doubt my word?" he asked brows furrowing. I stared at him before shaking my head.

"No way. You'd go all the way to the underworld for me if you had to, just to nag me about staying out of trouble." I teased causing him to smile.

"I am glad you understand. Can you walk, little one?" he asked standing up.

"Yes, but truthfully I don't know how far." I told him with a blush. He looked down at me with a pained expression before bending over and lifting me up. I clung to him carefully trying to hide my nudity blushing hotly causing Takeshi to let out a masculine chuckle.

"Takeshi, I am not wearing anything underneath." I hissed lowly not wanting Yusuke to hear.

"Good, take it as punishment for calling me a nagger." He responded making me gasp as he roughly readjusted me. Takeshi, you jerk!
