A Girl Named Amelia ch.2: Maze Castle and the Saint Beasts? Again?

Amelia woke to find that she was in a small room. She remembered what had happened. She tried the door but it was locked. She sat down near the small window (which was too small for her to climb out of) and looked at the stars outside. 'I wish I could get out of here,' she thought.

'Nightshade does not work alone. There are three other demons under her control. You must be careful. These four demons are no ordinary demons. They have rebuilt an old castle. You'll be amazed at the location. Here's a map of the new castle. Good luck boys,' Those words echoed through their heads. Koenma had been worried over nothing. So they thought. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei were running through the endless mazes and dead-end hallways of the Castle of Darkness. They entered a large stone room. "This seems all too familiar," stated Kurama. "It should be familiar," said a feminine voice. A young lady stepped out of shadows. Her golden hair was spiked just below the shoulder. Her hazel eyes gleamed malevolently. She wore a black skirt with a silver lightning bolt down the center, a black kimono-style shirt with a silver lightning bolt, and knee- high black boots. There was a silver lightning bolt on each cheek. "Welcome back boys," she said calmly, "I am Miara. The 1st of the New Saint Beasts," "The What!?" cried Yusuke, "And what do you mean 'welcome back?'" "I'll tell ya later," said Miara playfully, "Who's gonna die first?" Yusuke positioned himself for battle. "Urameshi!" yelled Kuwabara, "How many times do I have to tell you, you're not supposed to fight girls!" Yusuke ignored him. Miara gathered energy in her hand and formed it onto a lightning bolt. "Black Lightning!" she cried. Yusuke barely dodged. While Yusuke was dodging, Miara fired another blast at Yusuke. He was hit. "Who's next?" said Miara. "I'm not done with you yet," said Yusuke from behind, "Spirit Gun!" A large beam of spirit energy came from his index finger and engulfed Miara. When the smoke cleared, Miara was nearly dead. "What did you mean when you said 'welcome back?'" asked Yusuke. "This castle was built from the remains of Maze Castle. This was once the lair if Genbu, one of the original Saint Beasts," Miara fell silent. "She's dead," said Kurama. "Then why are we still here?" asked a very impatient Hiei. "Let's go already!" said Kuwabara.

"What do you want with me?" cried Amelia. "Your power," said a dark voice. "I don't have any power," said Amelia, "I'm not a mythical Spirit Detective if that's what you think," "You have high spirit energy, for a human," Amelia froze. It couldn't be real. Demons didn't exist. "Let me know if you decide to cooperate," said the voice. Amelia broke into tears.

Kurama, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Yusuke ran onto a familiar balcony. "I remember this place," said Kuwabara, "This is where I fought Byakko," "Five points to the moron," said a voice. A girl of about fifteen stepped out of the shadows. (A/N:I know, what's with the shadows. Shadows are a great place to hide.) She had short blue hair and green eyes. She wore a pink kimono. "I am Gorona, the 2nd of the New Saint Beasts," she said, "who will fight me?" "Not me," said Kuwabara. "Why not?" asked Gorona. "It's my code of honor," Kuwabara told her, "I don't fight girls," "If you don't fight me," began Gorona, "I'll destroy your most prized possession," "No!" cried Kuwabara, "Not Eikichi!" "Eikichi?" questioned Hiei. "My kitty," said Kuwabara. Yusuke and Hiei started snickering. "I still won't fight you," said Kuwabara. "I'll also kill your girlfriend," threatened Gorona. "Don't even think about it," said Hiei and Kuwabara at the same time. Gorona got a confused look on her face. "Why would the shrimp care?" she asked. "Because," said Hiei, "His girlfriend is my sister! Even though I don't approve of her dating him," "Yukina's your sister?" questioned Kuwabara. "Tell her and you die!" said Hiei. "I'll kill Eikichi and Yukina if the moron doesn't fight me!" said Gorona. "Kick her butt!" Hiei told Kuwabara. "I'm revising my code of honor!" stated Kuwabara, "I'll only fight a girl if she threatens to kill Yukina or Eikichi!" "Good luck!" said Hiei. Everyone was stunned. "Finally!" cried Gorona. "Spirit Sword!" yelled Kuwabara. The crimson sword appeared in Kuwabara's hands. He attacked. Gorona nearly lost her arm. ""Flaming Baton!" she cried. Kuwabara dodged and stabbed Gorona through the heart. Kuwabara was stunned. "I killed a girl," he said. "Congratulations," said Hiei. Everyone was stunned again. "Lets go," said Kurama, " before Hiei decides to give Kuwabara a hug,"

"For the last time, I don't know what you're talking about!" cried Amelia. "You will soon enough," said the voice. "Who are you anyway?" asked Amelia. "I am Nightshade," said the voice.

They entered another room. "This is where Hiei fought Seiryu," said Yusuke. "That's right," A girl stepped out of the shadows. Her hair was black as night. Her eyes were deep blue. "I am Syncanie," she said, "Who will be the first to die," Kurama stepped forth to battle her. "I will fight you," he said, "But I will not lose," "Ice Javelin!" said Syncanie. "Rose Whip!" cried Kurama. The battle began. Syncanie threw her Ice Javelin but it missed. Kurama used Rose Whip Lash. Syncanie hit the ground.

"I don't know!" cried Amelia. "What is his weakness?" asked Nightshade once more. "I told you, I don't know! I don't know anything about him!" Nightshade was growing impatient. Suddenly, a demon appeared. "Master," said the demon, " They are here," "Perfect," said Nightshade, "Come with me girl," Amelia followed Nightshade.

"Where are we?" asked Hiei. "This is where I fought Suzaku," said Yusuke. "Hello again," said a cold voice. They turned around and came face- to-face with Nightshade. "Does anyone care to try and save the girl?" Nightshade snapped her fingers and a demon shoved Amelia onto the light. "Amelia!" cried Kurama. Amelia didn't move. "You killed her!" cried Kuwabara. "No," said Nightshade, "She's only unconscious. Who will try and save her first?" Hiei stepped forward. Once again, everyone was stunned. "Hiei?" said Nightshade, "Do you have a crush?" Hiei and Kurama exchanged a glance. "It's time they knew," said Kurama. "Alright," said Hiei, "I don't have a crush on her. But I've had a crush before," Kuwabara and Yusuke were stunned. Hiei went twenty shades of red. Nightshade smiled. "I know," she said. Hiei stopped. 'She seems so familiar,' he thought, 'She knows all about us. Why do I have the feeling I know her?' 'Because you do,' the voice was cold yet gentle. 'Who are you?' thought Hiei. 'I have many names,' thought the voice, 'Master, Leader, Nightshade,' 'How do I know you if I've never met you before?' Hiei thought. 'I am the girl in the garden,' thought Nightshade, 'I am the dark demon, I am the one you loved!'

I'm gonna end the chapter here. Thanx to all who reviewed. Will Hiei be able to save Amelia? R/R and tell me what you think. I'm sorry that Hiei is kinda OOC. ::A mob of Hiei fangirls attack:: I said I'm sorry!
