The Shadows of Love

Chapter 2:

"Then I guess that I will have to take his place" said a cold emotionless voice. "Sure whatever just as long as I have fun!" Hotaru said while laughing. Hiei scowled, He didn't like when demons said things about especially girl demons or in this case a goddess. But before Hiei had a chance to think, Hotaru, was already coming towards him with enormous speed, but Hiei dodged it. "You're not so tough. You're as weak as Kuwabaka over there!" Hiei said with a smirk on his face and while pointing over to where Kuwabara was laying. After Hiei said that Hotaru's power increased greatly. She now had a blue aura and was about to attack when Hiei decided to attack first with his sword. Barely knowing about the upcoming assault was able to dodge it, or so she thought. When Hotaru and Hiei landed, Hotaru immediately fell to her knees clutching her left side. Hiei had hit her side with his sword, and would have killed her, but she dodged part of the attack. Hotaru forced herself up, her left hand started to glow a bluish color. "I will now finish all of you with one stroke of my hand." and with that Hotaru raised her left hand in the air and then there was a bright blue light. When the light disappeared Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, and Kuwabara were all frozen in the exact places they were in. "It looks like I'm the winner of this battle!" Hotaru said to herself proudly. She then picked up her things and left. Hotaru walked until she got to a city. She then rented a hotel room and bought bandages, then she went to her room and bandaged up her wound and sat in her room in deep thought; 'How dare he, how dare he cut me with his sword.' After a while she went to sleep.

Back where the gang was:

"Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, Where are you?" Botans' voice rang out through the cold air. "Where are you, this isn't funny." As soon as that was said she stumbled into a clearing she look around and what she saw was something she didn't like! She built a fire next to the guys hoping that they were still alive even after being frozen. As soon as the ice melted Kurama was the first gain consciousness. "Where am I?" Kurama asked slightly above a whisper. "You're in the clearing where I assume you were battling Hotaru." Botan said in a soft-gentle voice. "Then how did you get here?" Kurama asked. "I got worried and decided to look for you, when I found you guys all of you were ice-cubes." Botan said with a look of concern, "So what happened?" Botan asked Kurama. "Let's just say Yusuke went through a tree, Kuwabara was no match, and Hiei was barely able to wound her." replied Kurama. "Well what about you?" asked Botan. "Hotaru froze us before I had the chance to attack her." Kurama answered with smirk on his face. Before Botan could respond, noises coming from the rest of the guys could be heard. "Well at least all of you are ok!" Botan said while trying to look happy. After everyone was able to walk they all went to the human world. As soon as they got there they met with an unhappy Kayko. "Where have you been Yusuke Uremeshi?" "Uh... Kayko nice to see you to!" Yusuke said while rubbing the back of his head. "You know," Kayko said in a sweet voice, "THAT DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION!!" Kayko finished in an annoyed tone. "Heh, heh," Yusuke laughed nervously, "OK, ok, I had another mission." Yusuke said annoyed. "Well I wouldn't have had to yell at you if you just told me the truth for once! Well never mind about, are you done with the mission?" replied Kayko. Yusuke shook his head and replied "No, but hopefully tomorrow we will." Yusuke said nervously because of the dirty looks he was getting. "Well now that I know your ok, I'm going home, but when your done with the mission you better tell me got it?" Kayko said while glaring at Yusuke. Yusuke swallowed hard and nodded. "Good! See you guys later!" Kayko said in a sweet innocent voice and started walking home.
