It felt like we'd fallen forever. When we finally hit bottom, I landed on my left arm, which landed on a large rock that was sticking out of the dirt floor and heard a rather disturbing sound- I heard it crack, followed by me letting out a painful cry.

"What's wrong?" asked an annoyed voice. I looked around- all I could see was a few large boxes, the floor, no ceiling, meaning we had fallen down a hole... and then I saw Hiei's angered face staring at me from where he was sitting on the other side of the room. I let out a breathy laugh and shook my head.

"Out of all the people I had to disappear with," I said. "It had to be you." Hiei muttered something about a Baka Baita before repeating his question. "My arm- I think it's broken." I sat up slowly, then took a look at my arm. As far as I knew, the bone wasn't supposed to be sticking out of my skin like that. It was the most disgusting thing I'd ever seen and had to look away before I tossed my cookies. Hiei started to laugh.

"A little squeamish, are we Human?" he asked, walking over to me. "A little broken arm isn't anything to..." He then noticed the extent of my 'little broken arm.' "Oh."

"Yeah, oh- beautiful, ain't it?" He sat down next to me and carefully took hold of my arm and set it on his lap. I still winced in pain, but I didn't try to fight him. "Look, Hiei," I said, the pain I was in characterized in my voice. "I know you want your revenge, but now's not a good time. Give me a couple of weeks and if I'm still alive, maybe you and I could set up a play date or something." Hiei rolled his eyes.

"Keh- I'm not trying to hurt you, Urameshi." Suddenly, he grabbed my arm at my wrist and above my elbow, where the bone was sticking out and pulled. He managed to straighten my broken arm, pulling the bone back through the skin and I let out an ear piercing scream.

"OW!" I yelled. "SON OF A BITCH, YOU COULDA FOOLED ME!" Hiei ignored my outburst, once again muttering cuss words, as he ripped a piece of cloth off of his coat. Then, he took the wooden stake he'd been given, laid it on my arm and wrapped the cloth around it.

"There," he said. "That should keep it straight for now- just try not to bump it too much." The pain had died down, causing me to look up and flash him a grin.

"Thank you," I replied, getting up off the ground.

"But don't think this changes things, Urameshi. As soon as this is over, you and I will have to find out who's best." I nodded.

"All right- but what do we do until then?"

"Damn it!" yelled Yusuke, pounding on the wall he'd last seen me leaning against. "Kay! Kay, can you hear me? KAIRA?!"

"It's no good, Urameshi," said Kuwabara. "That wall has to be at least a foot thick- there's no way she could hear you through that." Yusuke shot him an angered look.

"Well I don't know unless I try!" As he pounded on the door, calling my name, Kurama and Botan were searching the wall for a door or some other way inside. Botan noticed that the fox demon was quieter than normal, causing her to wonder what was wrong.

"Kurama?" she asked. "Is everything all right?" He was silent, but after a moment, he shook his head.

"I'm not worried about Hiei harming her," he said. "He won't do that as long as he needs to work with her. But I am worried of what might happen if Batosei finds her before we do. He may not be able to turn her immediately, but..." He paused. "But, there are other ways he can hurt her." Botan nodded, an understanding smile curling her lips.

"You like her, don't you?" Kurama gave Botan a surprised look and tried to stutter his way through a denial... then he gave up.

"I've never felt this way about someone before, Botan," he told her. "When I learned love from my mother, it was a new feeling for me that's true, but this... this is something completely different."

"It's all right, Kurama," said Botan. "You've just fallen in love- and by the way she looks at you, I think she feels the same."

"Hey you guys!" yelled Yusuke. "We found a door! Get over here!" Botan shook her head and gave a soft laugh.

"Just don't break her heart- I'd hate to be you if Yusuke found out."

"Hiei," I said. "With all due respect, I don't think that's going to help us- not with vampires anyway." Hiei and I had found a hallway leading out of the hole and it lead to a group of rather angry vampires... all of which who looked like they we're ready to rip our heads off. Hiei had instantly drawn his sword, and was rather angered when I said it probably wouldn't help us.

"What do you suppose we do then?" he asked. I tossed him the stake that I had brought with me and raised my left arm.

"I can still fire my Spirit Bow, even with my busted arm. I pin 'em, you stake 'em." I looked at him and couldn't believe what I was seeing- Hiei was actually smiling.

"Let's get it over with." I nodded and began firing Spirit Arrows at the vampires. With incredible speed, Hiei drove a steak through each vampire mere seconds after they were pinned to the wall. Within moments, a mural of dead vampires cover the walls. I grinned- Hiei and I actually worked well together.

"Ah- a masterpiece," I said with a chuckle. "I shall call it 'Death by Spirit and Stake.'" I waited for Hiei's annoyed comment, but it never came. "Hiei?" I turned around, only to see him lying on the ground. "Hiei!" I rushed to him, knelt at his side and checked his pulse. He was alive, merely unconscious, but there was no trace of what had made him that way. Suddenly, I felt the presence of someone standing behind me. I started to turn around, but before I could an arm snaked it's way around my neck, followed by a sweet smelling cloth covered my mouth- chloroform. Once I realized what was going on, I tried to hold my breath but had realized too late. Seconds later, I blacked out.

"Hiei?" yelled a voice. "Damn it, you better be alive!" Hiei shook his head and opened his eyes. He saw Yusuke staring at him, an infuriated look on his face. "What happened?" he asked. "Where's Kay?" Hiei looked surprised.

"She's gone?" The girl had just been there, before someone knocked him over the head... when ever that was.

"Yes she's gone!" Yusuke yelled, raising his fist. "I swear to God, if you did anything to her." Kurama grabbed his hand in mid air.

"Hiei has done nothing," he said. "Look." He nodded his head towards the only wall not covered with vampires. Written in a blood red color was a short note: "She's mine."

**Kuwabara here- I know I don't usually do this, but both Urameshi's are rather preoccupied at the moment. Anyway, I've seen some pretty sick things in my life, but they don't compare to what Batosei does to Kaira- I don't know how she survived. What am I talking about? Find out next time on Yu-Yu Hakusho!**
