A/N~ I'm updating, finally. It's a miriacle. Sorry forthe long wait people.

Hiei slowly opened his eyes. His eyelids felt as if they weighed a ton. When they were slit open streams of bright light came through. He covered his eyes and opened them completely. He lowered his hand and sat up. He was in a forest. It was no longer night and he didn'tknow how long he had been out for.

What happened?

Why was he here?

Suddenly everything crashed down on him like a ton a bricks. They had come here for a mission and had been knocked out, but what force could of knocked him out?

Kokuei.

The shadow youkai by the name of Kokuei. She was indeed strong and they would have to be cautious around her.

Hiei looked around to see Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama still knocked out. He tried to stand but his legs wouldn't respond. He crawled over to the closest body, Kurama. Hiei put his index and middle finger over a spot on Kurama's neck.

'Still alive.' He thought to himself.

Hiei did the same to Yusuke and Kuwabara, both had pulses. He sat down and rested. Doing that little had tired him out, she must of drained all of his power.

'That bitch. I'll kill her. She's going to regret she ever messed with me.' He thought of what had happened.

"I've been following your group around and I must say, you are my favorite one. I am quite interested in you and wouldn't mind learning about you Hiei. It's a shame you were sent to distroy me, I really could see something good happening between us. Unfortuently I'll have to kill you."

Her words still were in his mind, repeating themselves over and over.

'That's the difference between her and I. She lets feelings get in the way, that's why she kept us alive. I'll have to use her feelings against her.'

A rustling a leaves came from behind Hiei and he turned around to see Kurama pushing himself up.

"Hiei." Kurama whispered. "Are they?"

"They're fine." Hiei assured. "They're to stubborn to die."

Kurama smiled and chuckled weakly. "It feels as if all my power has been drained. I can barely support myself. She is indeed strong." Kurama managed to sit down. "With the power of the shadows on her side there is no way we can survive this without having a concreite plan."

"I have an idea." Hiei stated.

"What is it?"

"Wait until they wake up. I'm only saying it once."

Kurama nodded. He knew Hiei hated to repeat himself and in the mean time he could think of another plan incase Hiei's didn't work.

Neither of them knew how long it had been before Yusuke woke up.

Yusuke rolled onto his back. "Am I dead again?" He asked.

"Unfortuently no." Hiei said.

"Your still alive Yusuke, like the rest of us." Kurama told him.

"Oh. I feel like I have a hangover." Yuske groaned.

"All of your power has been drained." Kurama explained. "It will return slowly and you'll feel better soon enough. You just have to wait."

"I really hate waiting. Forget this." Yusuke pushed himself up with his arms. They shook violently and soon gave in making him fall onto his back. "Okay, never mind."

"You should of listened to me Yusuke."

"Yeah yeah yeah. What about Kuwabara?"

"He's fine, he should be up soon. When he does awake Hiei will tell us his plan to defeat the shadow youkai."



"Sounds great."

After a long silence Yusuke got extremly bored. "Trees are boring, why don't you do anything, fall, move, something."

"He's gone crazy." Hiei said. "He's speaking to trees."

"I'm not crazy, just bored."

"Could of fooled me."

"What the." Kuwabara's voice came. "Why am I in the forest, sleeping on the ground? What's going on?" Kuwabara panicked.

"Shut up fool." Hiei snapped. "Or is that to hard for your tiny mind to comprehend?"

"Shut up Shorty, I'm gonna."

Kurama sighed. "Please, could you two not fight. Now is not the time."

Yusuke sat up. "Really. So Hiei, what was your plan?"
