Ari walked into her room and sighed. She was bored. She sat on the bed, and Nenin knocked at her door.

"Ari?"

"Come in." Ari called. Nenin came in and sat down.

"How are you, Ari?" Nenin asked.

"Good." Ari frowned, sitting up and staring off. She felt Hiei approaching. Suddenly, Nenin threw himself at her. He pressed his lips to hers and kissed her as Hiei walked in, gasped, and walked out. Ari shoved him off, too late.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Ari yelled, in a fury.

"Sorry, Ari, but I can't let you two stay as...tight as you are." Nenin grinned.

"What?" Ari asked, shocked.

"..." Nenin grinned. "What are the chances he'll listen to your excuses?"

"...none..." Ari whispered. "YOU! You planned this from the start!" She started yelling. Nenin smashed his hand against her mouth.

"Shh, and be a good girl." Nenin whispered. "We don't want to hurt you."

Ari bit him.

"Bad idea!" He yelled, whacking her in the temples, knocking her out. He left, calm as when he walked in. He bumped into Chetara in the hall.

"Hey, how's Ari?" Chetara asked him.

"Oh, she's fine. She's sleeping right now, though, I wouldn't disturb her." Nenin smiled.

"Alright." Chetara smiled back, and turning and heading for her room.

------------------------------------

In the middle of the night, Nenin consulted with his partner about where to go from here.

"Let's attack them now. While they sleep." His partner grinned. "And the neko girl is out."

"Excellent idea." Nenin grinned. "Are the troops ready?"

------------------------------------

Soon after, everyone (that is, except Ari) woke up to a loud yelling.

"What the-!" Yusuke yelled, looking out his window. They were being ambushed. He jumped out the window, on an unsuspecting victim.

"What's going on?" Yusuke yelled.

"We don't know!" Kuwabara called back. "They just started attacking."

"...Look at Hiei!" Chetara called. Hiei was taking them down by the hundreds. Two, three hundred, dead. Icicle was also wiping them out using her hand scythes.

"Woah!" Kurama gaped, then started fighting himself. Someone jumped Hiei from overhead, and he dodged. Nenin laughed.

"I've never liked you, you piece of trash." Nenin chuckled, attacking him again. This time Hiei was hit in the shoulder. Hiei snarled venomously, and sliced him in the stomach, and Nenin only grinned.

"Ooh, that may have stung a bit." Nenin grinned. "But you know what'll hurt you worse? When I tie you up and you have to watch what I do to your girlfriend..."

"And I'm the trash!" Hiei yelled.

Hiei swung blindly at Nenin, only to miss.

"That's no way to survive..." Nenin chuckled. "You do know I tricked you both. I saw your little tag team fighting you've been working on, and how strong it was, I knew we couldn't be having that."

Hiei felt shock. "So, that was..."

Nenin grinned. "I didn't dare leave you two as close as you were."

"Is she...alright?" Hiei whispered.

"The girl isn't the issue." Nenin smirked. "But don't worry, she's not dead...yet. But neither are you, and I'm going to fix that now."

Hiei growled, and sliced Nenin in the shoulder, who stepped back. He held his shoulder and glared. "Alright, if that is how you wish it. You should have given up, and perhaps I would have taken it easy on you, but instead now you'll die along with Ari."

Hiei felt helpless, and he hated the feeling. Icicle ran at Nenin, who flung her aside like a rag doll.

"This is our fight, onna." Nenin growled. "Stay out of it, or I'll kill you."

Icicle gasped, then growled. "Oh? Well, I'm not going to obey your commands just because you commanded it!"

Nenin raised an eyebrow at her. "Are you defying me, kifujin?"

Icicle smirked darkly. "Yes." She stood up, and adjusted her hand scythes. Nenin only stared at her. A woman challenging him? Hm...

Icicle ran at him, and in his confusion and shock, she got the upper hand. She sliced him clean through from the hip up through his stomach and chest, straight up to the collarbone. Nenin gasped and backed away, holding his hand over his stomach. He vanished and then reappeared at the top of a tree.

"I will leave for now, but not before taking something important to you all." Nenin frowned darkly, his face twisted in pain. "Ari." He vanished.
