19. Cemetery madness.

Youko walked through the forest looking up every tree he past in some hope of finding Hiei. He followed Hiei's spirit energy and slowly felt it grow stronger and stronger with every step. Suddenly Youko stopped, shot his head to the left as he heard the screams of a woman and before he could react, was jumped by at least a dozen demon vampires.

"GET OFF OF ME!!!" Youko screamed as he struggled under their weight. "I said get off."

"Don't try to struggle it only makes them more hungry." A woman's voice rang down to Youko's ears.

"Jean?!?!" Youko gasped as the woman stepped into the pail sunlight.

"Hehehehehehehe. Nice try, but the Jean you once knew is. how should I say this?....Die and gone." She replied as she stopped in front of Youko. "Now let me see how should I do this?... Ah I know." She finished as she bent down to Youko's face and the demon vampires moved out of her way. She grabbed Youko's hair and lifted his face up to hers.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE YOU BITCH!!!!!" The real Jean screamed as she kicked the woman in the face and she fell to the ground. "Youko are you all right?" Jean asked.

Youko stood up on his knees and looked into Jean's eyes. He was a little confused.

"She said you were dead."

"I all most was I." Jean stopped and stood on her feet. She looked pasted Youko and started to walk around him as if he wasn't even there, like she was hypnotized by something.

Youko stood up and started after Jean. He followed her into a clearing and into an old cemetery. Jean walked through the cemetery not even looking back to see if he was still behind her. A lite fog was starting to form, before Youko could stop her, Jean walked towards it and disappeared into the lite fog. Youko, stopped as he watched her disappear, but then entered the fog and slowly followed her. He started to lose sight of Jean and finally had to stop as the sent of fresh human blood became too much for him to handle.

"Well, well looky who we have here." Youko heard from behind the fog. "A lost little fox." The voice finished and then a second started.

"What should we do with him sister?"

"How about we have a little fun before we kill him?"

"That sounds good.!!"

Two demon vampires twins stepped from out behind the fog and walked on either side of Youko.

"Go a head and attack, I promise a quick death." Youko sneered at them and before either of them could reply they were dead. "Weaklings." Youko smirked and started after Jean again.

****

Deep under ground Jean walked into a room that looked a little like a throne/control room. She walked over to the chair, stopped on the right side of Akushou and bent on her knees next to him. He looked over, smiled and started to stroke her short hair. She looked up at him with a smile and her red turned back to blood red. She heard the shouts of Youko so she turned her head to the large image of him and the two demon vampires with a demonic smile.

"Well I see that the guest of honor has finally decided to show up." Akushou said as he sat on a throne made of human and demon bones and with Jean and Katie on either side. The three of them were watching Youko through a large black crystal ball. They watched him walk through the cemetery fighting off demon vampires and heading in their direction. "Now my pets I believe it's time you faced a true hell demon." He smiled as Jean and Katie smiled up at him. "Go now and bring him here." He finished and they left his side.

****

Youko had finally killed the vampire twins and stopped just short of an empty grave. He noticed an abnormal smell coming from it, so he looked down to see a bottomless hole.

"Whoa I would hate to fall down there." Youko said.

Suddenly Youko turned around to see a tall white man walking towards him out of the fog. The man was wearing an all black outfit with a scarecrow looking black hat and long black hair.

"Kuronue?" Youko gasped as the man stopped right in front of him and then suddenly Youko found himself engulfed by darkness as he realized that he had been pushed into the hole.

****

"Youko, Youko wake up."

Youko opened his eyes, leaned up and thought for a second that he had just woken up from a very bad dream. Then he looked around and realized that it wasn't a dream, it was real and that he was in a dungeon cell.

"Whe-where am I?" Youko asked.

"In hell." A voice answered him.

Youko turned around and spotted Hiei sitting in the corner.

"Hiei? Wha...how..." Youko choked out as he stared at Hiei.

"We're in that bastrad's castle dungeon." Hiei replied. "He has the girls in his throne room." He added as he third eye started to glow red under his white headband.

"How did you get here?" Youko asked ignoring the red glow.

"I was jumped by two twin demon vampire sisters." Hiei growled cursing under his breath.

"Oh I took care of them." Youko grinned.

"Shut up." Hiei snapped. "How in the hell are we going to get out of here?" Hiei asked and then started muttering something like 'if he did anything to her he's dead' or something along those lines.

"I'm not quite sure." Youko answered as he stood up and walked over to the cell bars.

"I wouldn't try anything if I were you." A voice echoes through out the dungeons.

"Wh..who's there?" Youko questioned.

"Now come, come have you forgot me that quickly?" The voice questioned as footsteps were heard coming towards them.

Youko stared down the dark corridor, the voice seem so familiar, it's just.. he couldn't really be alive.

"Who are you?" Hiei asked as he stood up and stopped next to Youko. "I asked who you were?" Hiei snapped.

The voice didn't answer, just continued to walk to them and before it reached the light the footsteps stopped.

"Well it seems the girls had finally found us." The voice replied as two more pairs of footsteps stopped just before the light.

"How are our guess Kuronue?" Jean voice asked echoing off the walls of the dungeons.

"Ku..ro.n..ue...?" Youko stuttered, he couldn't believe his own ears, was it really his old partner?

"You know Kuronue.. why don't you let them out, master said we could take care of them." Katie added.

"Are you sure it's ok, I know Youko better then you."

"Oh don't worry about us, we're big girls now, plus I know Youko's weak spots." Jean replied.

"Fine then." Kuronue replied. He stepped into the light and over to Youko and Hiei. Took out the keys and unlocked the cell door. "Do what you will with them, I'll hope to see you both back in the throne room." And with that said Kuronue disappeared without another word.

Jean and Katie watched him leave up the stairs, walked over to the cell door and opened it up.

"Hurry get out." Jean said, in a panic Youko and Hiei just stared at her as if she was nuts. "Don't look at me like that, you're trying to save you from this hell dungeon." She finished.

She grabbed Youko's hand and started running down the dark corridor, Katie in turn did the same. They turned a corner and slowly started past door and empty hallways.

"Jean what is going on?" Youko asked, as they finally stopped for more then two seconds.

"We're trying to save you, what does it look like?" Jean replied, giving him a sweet smile.

Something about Jean's smile didn't seem quite right; there was no emotions behind it.

"Are you all right?"

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm sure..shhhh." Jean put a finger up to his mouth so he wouldn't speak another word. "Youko I assure you, it's really me." She finished as she pushed him in a dark nook and hid there until the demons were gone.

"It's clear." Katie whispered to them and once again they started running down the corridor.

****

"My Lord the girls are with them as we speak." Kuronue replied as he bowed in front of Akushou.

"Good, let them outside, there they will take them, but just incase follow them and if anything happens that shouldn't kill all of them." Akushou answered as he watched Jean and Katie lead Youko and Hiei out of the dungeons and into the cemetery just about it.
