what hiei said :

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

third person's POV

want to laugh,

but instead i'll cry.

want to live,

but afraid to die.

Cannot run,

but I cannot hide.

This is the feeling,

this is life....

Botan was on the floor. Youko was on top of her(A/N: not like that you baka hentais out there). Everybody just stood there staring.

"Ummmmmmmm. Anybody want to recap what just happened?" Kuronue asked.

"Youko kept concentrating on how he was going to get the deity out of the circle that he forgot how he was going to land. Thenm, he pushed Botan out of the circle along with him." Hiei answered.

Kuronue clapped."Wow, Hiei, taht's got to be one of the lognest sentences you've said."

"Baka."

"Youko chan, are you okay?" Botan asked. Youko had his eyes shut and was probably knocked out because of all the "excitment".

"Mmmmm.....don't....call...mmmm...me that...you...baka...deity..." Youko mumbled.

Botan smacked Youko, "Baka!!!"

Youko sprung up, "What was that for onna?!"

Botan signed.

"What now?" Kuronue asked.

"Youko has done his part of the deal, so, Botan stays in Makai. Enough said right there." Koenma said.

"Thank you, Koenma san." Botan said happily.

"No problem, you happy, i'm happy. Simple as that."

"Bleh. This crappy romance stuff is really getting to me..." Kuronue answered.

"So, that's it?" Youko said.

"No...that's nopt it!!!" A voice boomed.

"Ahhhh!!!! That voice!!! I know that voice!!!" Koenma answered. He started to run around then he hid behind Botan.

"Eh?????" Kuronue asked.

From the depths of reikai. The person with the most power had came forth. King Enma, has arrived.

"You've broken into the cells, you've stolen a deity, and held her hostage. I cannot tolerate this anylonger..." King Enma shouted.

"He learned his leason! Just ket him leave!" Botan yelled.

"What's done. Is Done. You cannot change it!" Enma shouted. "You shall be banished to the Maze of Lost Souls. If you can get out of there, you'll be free. If not, you'll be stuck there for all eternity!"

Suddenly, a bunch of deitys showed up. Floating on theor oars, they chanted, "Come meet us in the forest deep. Where you will wonder in eternal sleep."

A deep vortex suddenly appeared. The chanting kept on going. Youko was being dragged with into the vortex. Pretty soon, Youko was on the edge. Before he dropped, Botan fell in with him, Kuronue followed, and Hiei, seeing no point in doing this, followed too. Soon enough. The vortex closed leaving Koenma and the others speechless.

"Father! How could send them in there?! Even Botan was sucked in!" Koenma yelled.

"She chose to go at her own free will. She gets out on her own..." Enma answred.

Little did they know, Something sneaked into the vortex before anyone could find out...

---into the maze...------

Youko and the other, looked around. The walls were made out of solid rock. Should be easy to breakl down, but everytime they did, it would grow back together.

"Damn it! We'll never get out pof here!!!" Kuronue yelled.

"We already tried one hand on the wall, and that didn't work..." Botan said.

Then, a Enma's voice boomed again, "An arrows shot, the missing spot. Entwined with the burning Hot."

"What the hell?" Youko said.

"Answer that, you get your answer..." Enma said.

The voice was gone. Leaving everybody to ponder again.

"I would say tp split up, but that's too risky." Youko said.

"I would say I'm hungry, but you could never starve in here." Botan whined.

"I would say....ummmmmmm" Kurponue pondered.

"Your an idiot." Hiei said.

The Maze grew dark and they decided to make a fire using the black flame and some weeds they found climbing on the walls.

Hiei fell asleep sitting upright. Kuronue fell asleep flat on his back. Botan was sleeping on Youko's lap. Youko, was still awake.

Youko tried to figure out the riddle. 'An arrows shot. The missing spot. Entwined with the burning hot.'

Suddenly, a loud boom was heard. Followed my another. Then a huge demon showed up. Kuronue and Hiei instantly sprung up. Botan started to look terrfied. Youko cradeled Botan in his arms and jumped to put her in a safe distance.

(A/N: I am horrible at fight scenes. But here goes nothing!!!) The Youkai slammed his fist down to hit kuronue, but he jumped oput of the way and climbed up the demon's arm. KUronue took out his chain sickle and swung it at the demon. The demon dosged in time, but here comes hiei. Hiei Sprung forth from behind and sliced the demon with the sword. It didn't do much effect though. Youko took out his death plant but before he could summon it the demon made a charge to Botan(A/N: DUh Duh Duh) and nearly did a fatal wound, instead though, he deeply scratched her arm. Youko didn't waste anytime, he summoned the death plant and attacked the monster. Kurnue ran around the demon and tied his legs together with the chain sickle. Hiei jumped from behind and sliced the deomn in half.

Youko ran to Botan. "Are you okay?!" He asked.

"It...it..hurts..just a little though..." Botan answered.

"'Just a little?' You got hurt the most in this battle!" Kuronue said.

"You forget that we didn't get hurt at all..." Hiei said.

Youko riped some of his shirt and wrapped it around Botan's wound. Then, he used some plants to heal the wound a little.

Botan blushed slighty, "Um.. Thank you. Youko chan."

"Did you figure out the riddle yet Kitsune?" Hiei asked.

"..No."

"No? No. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Kuronue yelled.

"You people are pathtic." said a voice.

Then a jumpy hanyou popped out. Yup. It was Aiko. She was all happy and cheerful as always.

"What do you want?" Hiei asked.

"Is that how you treat the person who will help you get out of here?" Aiko said.

"Tell me you got a way out of here." Kuronue asked.

"I got a way out of here." Aiko said. "But first, a few hints. Which way does an arrow shot."

"Staright ahead." Youko said.

"Correct. That's how you get out of a maze, go foward." Aiko said. "Now, The missing spot," Aiko licked her finger and pointed to the weeds. "How could weeds grow, if there's no soil, and. " AIko put her finger in the air. "How can there be air in a place that's suppose to have no air?"

"There's an opening somewhere." Hiei said.

"Bingo! Now, for the last part. The main light in here is the fire. Now, how can you mark a trail, with using the crumbs?" Aiko said.

"Let the weeds on fire, they'll show us where the opening is. The flames will guide us." Botan answered.

"Ding Ding Ding. Sorry Kuronue, you got none right." Aiko said.

"Shut up..." Kuronue answered.

They did as told, and sonner ot later. The found the exit and went out.

"Yes!! we're free!!!" Kuronue shouted.

"No need to thank me." Aiko said.

"Why did you come?" Hiei asked.

"Always to the point with you huh? Well, every love story needs a happy ending." AIko laughed.

"Let's hope this story will end..." Youko said.

Instantly, Enma showed up again, This time with a lot of Gods with him.

"Congrats, you made it. Now, time for the final judgement." Enma said.

"Wait! You said you'll let us go!" Youko yelled.

"I did, i let you off the hook, but with every crome there is a judgement. You won't recieve punsishment from me. No, this time it's them, the Gods of Judgement." Enma said. He pointed to some gods that sat next to him.

"what do we need to do?" Youko asked.

"All you need to do is answer questions. Oh, and Youko, you'll be alone on this one."

One god with long blue hair stood up and asked, "Why did you steal the deity?"

"For revenge." You answered.

Another god with wings and golden hair stood up and asked, "Why do you risk your life for her?"

"Because, I love her." Youko said.

Botan silently blushed at that.

A what seemed to be a dark elf stoof up and asked, "But wasn't she your hostage?"

"She was, then, something happened and I really did find myself weakened to her."

A god with pink hair and read eyes spoke. "Do you love this woman?"

"I honestly have no clue. I don't know why I do this. I just feel like I need too."

"Don't you think you need to know who you love before stating you love this person?"

"Love is just a guideline. When you say you love someone you just say it. Actions state more than words."

"You didn't answer the question."

If I said yes, I would be saying that. I need actions to prove me love too."

"You've proven a lot already, I just want to know if you love her."

"I...I love her.."

A dark red elf came in and asked, "Here comes the hard part lover boy, give me evidence that you do love her. One thing, and that's enough."

Youko took out a dagger. Then he strucked his left hand through it. Then he said, "I'll do anything for her, even if she's the most evil deity in the world. I'll always, be there. Next to her. I promise, by this dagger." Youko put the dagger in deeper than yanked it out. Blood and all.

"I see. You...have my permission."

"Youko...chan..." Botan said.

"If it wasn't for the "chan" part, that'd be pretty dramatic." Kuronue said.

"Whatever." Hiei said.

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I think this is so cute!!!" Aiko laughed.

Botan ran towards Youko and wrapped his hand. Youko grabbed her hand and put her closer to him. Then...they kissed.

A simple kiss.

Hand in Hand,

Then a kiss again.

Never to part.

A more passionate one.

Your in mine,

A long one.

Loving hearts.

Part and stare.

wanting to fly

Wind is flying.

not afraid to die.

About to kiss again.

Gift from above.

This time longer.

My heart, my love.

Part and whisper.

Out of all the pain and grief...

I love you....

A story of a diety and thief...
