"Is Yoko coming out to play tonight?" Hiei asked Kurama as he tightened his sword sheaths.
Kurama chuckled slightly. "Have you truly given my behavior a different name?"
"It seemed appropriate," Hiei replied.
"Well then, Yoko is never gone from me. He merely sleeps during the peaceful hours, but he's always there. So yes, he will come out to play tonight. I'm sure he'll enjoy it immensely."
"Kazuma, you'll be careful right?" Yukina asked worriedly.
"Course babe; I'll be back as fast as possible," Kuwabara said, kissing her quickly. "Gotta go in there and save Keiko."
Yukina smiled at Kuwabara, getting out of the car quickly and rushing toward her brother. She wrapped her arms around his torso, her face buried between his shoulder blades. Yukina was worried, worried about everyone: Keiko who was being held hostage, the guys who were rushing into danger to save her. She was scared for them all. But she knew she had to keep on a brave face; the last thing they needed was to be distracted by their worry for her. "You'll come back safely won't you brother?"
Hiei was surprised when he felt his sister's slender arms wrap around him, still covered in light bandages. He had never been one for hugs when they were growing up as children; he still wasn't and Yukina respected that. But every once in a while she would surprise him with a hug from behind: utterly unexpected, but still appreciated. Hiei placed his hands over Yukina's, squeezing her hands gently. "Of course I will; I won't leave you."
Yukina nodded, releasing her hold on him. "Be careful brother," she whispered as the boys walked toward the house.
"Kurama, you got the fire bomb?" Yusuke asked, taking the safety off his guns.
"Yes, but it's not a fire bomb," Kurama said. "They're simply explosives."
"Potato, potatoe. Where's the fun in calling them explosives? Fire bombs sound way better," Yusuke replied, lighting the fuse and chucking it toward the front door. "Duck and cover."
The guards at the front door barely had the chance to look down at the bomb before it exploded, blowing the doors wide open.
"What the hell!" Toguro exclaimed as the house was shaken slightly, his ears ringing from explosion.
"He's here," Keiko said victoriously, a smile on her face. "Yusuke's here."
Toguro took out his phone, quickly dialing a number. "Bui, Karasu, I want you on the first floor exterminating the intruders. Make sure all the windows and doors are covered and find out how many of them there are."
The boys rushed into the building, the smoke from the building beginning to dissipate. The guards rushed toward guns drawn, ready to shoot them. The sound of windows breaking distracted them, giving Yusuke and his team the opening they needed to shoot them all.
Hiei grabbed one of the guards by his neck, lifting him into the air. "The hospital fire, who's responsible for it?"
"W-what?" the man said, his blood leaking from the gunshot wound in his thigh.
"Who is responsible for the fire at Higurashi Memorial?" Hiei asked, drawing a sword from its sheath across his back. "My patience is limited."
"B-bui. Bui was supposed to start the hospital fire," the man stammered in fear. Hiei tossed the man aside, knocking him unconscious as his head collided with the wall.
"I think we underestimated the number of men in here," Kurama said, gesturing to the men who came rushing toward the entrance of the building. "Perhaps there's a basement we didn't account for."
"Urameshi, you get inside and find Keiko; we'll provide cover fire," Kuwabara said, drawing another gun.
Yusuke nodded, rushing the man who stood a few feet in front of his, knocking him aside easily.
The house was in absolute chaos, the shouts of men and the sounds of bullets ringing throughout the mansion. It seemed like there was an infinite number of men in the house; the Black Dragons were obviously outnumbered. But what they lacked in numbers they made up in determination.
"Aye Urameshi, where ya going?" Chu shouted, throwing a man through a broken window.
"I gotta find Keiko!" Yusuke replied, toward the stairs.
"Yer gonna need back-up!"
"I got him!" Jin replied, kicking a guard in the stomach.
"As do I," Genkai said, surprising them all.
"Grandma, I didn't even see you there," Yusuke said, racing up the stairs, Jin and Genkai watching his back.
"That's the point dimwit."
Toguro gritted his teeth as he listened to the gunshots ring out downstairs, forcing him to stay out of the fight. He would have loved to be in the thick of it, guns blazing, fists swinging. But he wanted it all to play out in a certain way and that required him to stay upstairs.
Keiko thought she would be sick with fear and worry as she listened to the sounds below her. She felt victorious when she first heard the explosion, her assurance that Yusuke was here to save her. But as she was forced to sit still and listen to the sound of gunfire, she grew more and more worried. Yusuke and his team couldn't take on the entire mansion of people alone; did they have back up or something? Who was winning? She could hear gunshots and people shouting, but she couldn't make out any voices in particular. Was anyone she knew injured? Would anyone she cared for die trying to save her?
"It seems we're in for an interesting night Ms. Yukimura," Toguro said, relaxing in his chair. Yusuke would come to him.
Hiei smiled wickedly as he stuck another guard with his sword, slashing his thigh muscles and sending him crashing to the floor. This was his element: chaos. People rushed around him, guards came after him with their guns drawn, but Hiei felt utterly calm as he dodged their bullets, his sword slashing one person after another. He was happy Yukina was kept in the car; not only was she safe there, but she was safe from the knowledge of how dangerous her brother could be. The last thing she needed to know about was the blood that washed his hands.
"I hear you are looking for me," a large, towering man said. "I am Bui."
Hiei pulled out his second sword, twirling it in his hand. This was the moment he had been waiting for.
Hiei's found his target. Will he manage to take his revenge or will he suffer the pain of defeat? Yusuke, Genkai and Jin are rushing upstairs, but will Toguro do something drastic? Reviews please :D
