Hours had passed since Mangetsuko left the hill. She wasn't tried so she went joy riding, early in the morning. She turned her head slight off to one side… "Hhhmmmm.." She felt that Yukina's youki was weak in the area were it felt the strongest for quite sometime. She then looked at her tank gauge. "Kuso, I need to get gas." She quickly got to a gas station and filled up. The entire time her mind was on Yukina. "I'll take care of you Yukina-chan." She then instead of a smoke put gum in her mouth. As soon as her gas tank was filled she sped off.

At a secluded home, near the mountains many stood outside. Who they were was easy. The one in black with a white bandana covering his forehead was Hiei or Jaganshi whichever was preferred. Of course the bandana covered his Jagan eye. Hiei over the last year had grown, he was taller, I believe almost as tall as Kurama. He also grew out his black hair, which was pulled back into a low ponytail. He also had ruby eyes, much like another person. (A: *innocent whistle*). The one next to him was a long red haired bishonen. He had green eyes, and wore a lavender, with yellow lined uniform. His human name was Minamino Shuichi but his real name was Kurama Youko. He hadn't changed much. (AN: I think Kurama is last name so I put that first.) Another one near had short black hair, with brown eyes, and wore street clothes which were jeans, a green jacket and white shirt. He was Urameshi Yusuke. A girl next to him had brown hair and eyes. She wore red overalls with a white shirt underneath. This was Yusuke's girlfriend Yukimura Keiko. "How long is it going to take Kuwabara?" Yusuke asked.

Soon a young man around seventeen came rushing out of the building. He had red hair and black looking brown eyes. He wore street clothes that were all white. He was Kuwabara Kazuma. "Guys! Yukina's gone. She's not in there!" No one was more pissed off than Hiei. "Well lets go looking!" Hiei shouted. Kurama looked over at the black haired man. "I know your mad but you must calm down a little." At that Hiei lightly glared at Kurama, but did take a deep breath. "Well, we should start looking." Said someone from behind. It was Botan, she had long blue hair, which was up in a high ponytail. She had purple eyes, and was wearing a pink kimono at the moment. "You right." Yusuke mumbled. Everyone split up. Hiei and Kurama went to look around on the grounds. Botan went off by herself to look around. Kuwabara went off to, and Yusuke and Keiko were off together looking.

Meanwhile…

Mangetsuko watched as they had left the grounds, Hiei and Kurama were the last to leave the area. She had over heard the conversation. "It looks like they were having a get together…" She mumbled. She started her motorcycle, and was ready to leave. Hiei and Kurama heard the noise that the bike created and turned to look. She saw them turn and quickly sped off.

She went a north of the home, and the feeling of the chill got stronger. Good, I'm heading the right way. She thought. She knew Hiei and Kurama weren't behind her. One they were still looking around the grounds of the home. Two she would have felt heat up her back of Hiei was behind her. She could since he was a hi koorime. She suddenly felt the chill fade. So she stopped. "Okay then…" She then slowly rod in a western direction, when the chill didn't get stronger she went east where the chill did get stronger. She smirked. I'm so going hurt the people who took Yukina-chan. She sourly thought. She kept going that way until she felt like she was going to freeze. She stopped in that area. "Grea-" She started until she pulled off her helmet. "I can smell her.. Sometimes I'm thankful for my acute sense of smell." She followed the scent to a large warehouse. "So this is where she is…"

She silently creped inside. Of course it is kinda strange… that I have such a good sense of smell…She thought and indeed it was strange. She searched around trying to find Yukina. She found many humans and youkai alike in here. "Jeez, they'll take no chances." She walked up. She chewed on the gum, while putting her hands in her pockets. She walked through a hallway. She didn't feel anyone for the moment. She suddenly felt semi-powerful youkai surround her. "Oh good, attack me from all sides." She stood there completely calm. The three behind her attacked, she knocked them down with ease. The others seemed pissed and attacked. This group was a bit harder.

But she defeated them. "Well that was somewhat easy." She spoke, and walked closer to a door. She tried to open it but it was locked. "Always come with a pick. You'll never know when you need it." She then began to pick the lock. When she did get the door unlocked she opened it. She saw a ruby eyed, and mint haired Yukina. She saw Yukina looked over, and a smile appeared on her face. She liked that look. "Mangetsuko-chan!" Yukina shouted and leapt up into Mangetsuko's arms. "Yukina-chan." Mangetsuko hugged her. "We must be going, Yukina-chan. I'll get you back to your friends later." Yukina nodded and followed Mangetsuko thought-out the warehouse. As they were getting closer to the exit, a large youkai stepped out in front. "I won't let you take the ice maiden out of here." She knew he worked under a human or something like that. "Just try it."

Mangetsuko held onto Yukina and jumped up before the youkai could punch. "Stay here." She ordered and went to the youkai. She smiled evilly. I'm glad I know martial arts. she used her, Rei ki with her fighting to knock down this large youkai. After a few hits, the youkai was out like a light. "Let's go!" She shouted and helped Yukina out. She grabbed her helmet, when they got to the bike. "Here wear this." She then tossed it to her. "But wha-" Mangetsuko smiled and waved. "Don't worry, I'll be fine." Yukina nodded and put on the helmet. Mangetsuko got on the motorcycle, and pointed behind for where Yukina should sit. Yukina did as she was told. "Now hold on, tightly." She said as she started the motorcycle up. When it started they sped off to where Mangetsuko lived.

The group gathered on the steps of the home. "Has anyon-" Kurama started but stopped when he finally smelled Yukina. "I've got her scent." Hiei was glad to hear this and the group followed Kurama. They found the same warehouse and went in. They found the large youkai on the floor. "Looks like someone got here before us." Yusuke said. "Ya!" Kuwabara shouted. "Yes, I must agree with you Yusuke. Also this person… is a very strong one." Kurama spoke as he looked at the youkai. Hiei knelt down next to Kurama. His anger rose, to a volatile level. If anyone hurts her I'm going to kill them! He thought grimly. Yusuke could tell that Hiei was getting out of control. Looks like he'll need to calm down. While Hiei was wondering who could have done his, Yusuke came behind him and knocked him out. "Better him mad at me, than kill some other people." Kurama smiled and nodded. "I agree." Kurama then picked up Hiei and they all walked out. Kurama then tried to pick up on Yukina's scent but at a certain spot, he could smell her anymore. All he could smell was gas.

"Kurama do you have the scent of the other person?" Kurama nodded. "I do, Yusuke, but I can't smell Yukina's or that other persons, scent." Yusuke cursed under his breath. "We should discuss this tomorrow, at my place." Yusuke suggested, Kurama nodded as did Kuwabara, and Botan. Hiei couldn't.. well you know. They separated and went back home. Kurama took Hiei to his home. Hiei hadn't woken up yet when Kurama laid him down on a separate bed.

It was about evening when she got Yukina to her home. Yukina who had grasped on to Mangetsuko during the ride, she awhile ago felt heat on Mangetsuko's back… almost like it was on fire. "Are you alright Mangetsuko-chan?" She looked at Yukina and smiled "Yes, I'm fine." Yukina followed her friend up the stairs. "This is my apartment, Yukina-chan." She opened the door and let Yukina in first and came in after and closed the door. Yukina was amazed, the décor was incredible. Flowers and plants were nearly everywhere. The walls were painted black.. In fact a lot of furniture was black, it seemed kinda bleak, and depressing. But the flowers seemed to bright the place up. The carpet was a nice deep blue. Some dark crimson was also in the living room. "Wow your apartment is so nice." Mangetsuko smiled. "Arigatou, Yukina-chan" Yukina smiled back. "Would you like something to eat, esu?" Yukina nodded "Hai."

Yukina followed Mangetsuko into the kitchen, and helped make dinner. The décor of the kitchen was similar to the living room. But more black and red, it almost seemed like jigoku (hell). But it was nice none the less. The only thing that wasn't black was the oak table, and the chairs that sat near. The counter tops which were made of a stone of some sort. Also the sink and stove were made of stainless steel. Even the drawers, doors, cabinets were either black or red. Hell even the dishwasher was black. During the whole time it seemed like Mangetsuko was in great pain, but didn't really show it. True Mangetsuko was very calm, yet seemed like she wasn't. From time to time she winced or cringed in pain. Yukina wasn't sure if she was or wasn't in pain. Yukina was worried about Mangetsuko. Her friend seemed to sense her worry. "Yukina-chan I'm alright. Don't worry about me." Yukina weakly nodded.

It was late by the time they finished eating dinner. Yukina then yawned. "Tired?" Yukina nodded. Mangetsuko chuckled and then said "Then go to bed, I'll be fine out here." Yukina was about to object but her friend stopped her. "No ifs, ands, or buts about it." Mangetsuko helped Yukina to her bed room and into the bed. The bed room was slightly different. Everything was black… the only thing that wasn't black was the oak desk, night stand, and the bed frame. But the sheets were black, and Yukina could tell they were made of good fabric. But why is everything so grim.. So bleak….depressing? Yukina thought as she felt the sheets around her. "Oyasumi nasai, esu." Yukina was too tired to say anything back. When Yukina was finally asleep, Mangetsuko left the room muttering. "Hiei-kun, ahou kimi fakku. (Hiei-kun, you stupid fuck.)" She went into the bathroom to get some salve, bandages, rubbing alcohol, and clean rags. She then left for the darkness of the living room.
