AN: Hi all! Just a few comments from yours truly. I did say I was sorry Erin! ~hiding~ please don't hurt me. And ummmm... oh yeah Dream Fox thanks a bunch for the review I will need to reread my own work to make sure I haven't given everything away which I wasn't aware I had done. Other then that we are going to the arcade to cause mass havoc and chaos!
Disclaimer: Holly Summers mine, story mine, Yu Yu Hakusho and its lovely chars not mine, all the Games I mention in this chap also not mine. Simple, ne?

Holly looked around her with wide eyes. This Japanese arcade was much bigger and had a lot more games then the one in America had. The lights flashed around her and she found it hard to see.
"Kuwabara and I are going to be over there with the racing games!" Yuusuke yelled slightly to be heard over the noise.
Holly nodded and took a look around again. She had wanted to play a fighter games with one of the boys but shrugged it off and pulled Keiko along with her to look at what other types of games there were. Almost instantly her ears were assaulted by music.
"You play Para Para Paradise, Holly?" Keiko asked in excitement. When Holly's only reaction was a confused look, Keiko added, "I love that game wanna see me play it?"
"Sure," Holly said as she watched in some kids on a game called Dance Dance Revolution with fascination.
Keiko squealed in delight, "It's over here, come on!" Keiko pulled the other girl away toward another side of the arcade.

"So..." Kurama asked the fire demon as the ward on his forehead began to glow.
"I'm working on it, kitsune no baka," Hiei muttered.
Kurama sighed and went back to watching as many of the kids as he could. He spotted Keiko and Holly at the Para Para machine and smiled at the two girls. They really did get along well together. Holly seemed very lonely most of the time and Keiko, being the outgoing person she was, comforted her. Holly also gave Keiko some one to really talk to.
Holly was smiling and tapping her foot to the music and if he was closer Kurama was sure he'd hear her humming as well. Something off to the side of them caught his eye in that moment. Holly's backpack... something in it seemed to be moving...
"There's a really strange energy coming from that direction," Hiei pointed toward the girls. When he opened his eyes he must have noticed the bag as well. "It seems she was right in front of us... I'll get Yuusuke, you make sure she doesn't leave." Hiei was gone in the blink of an eye.

Holly watched Keiko dance to these rather catchy tunes. "You see, Holly? The arrows tell you were to put your hands."
"That seems pretty easy to follow," she nodded. Holly smiled and found herself humming the tune along with the machine. 'These songs really are catchy,' she smiled to herself.
"Keiko it's time to go..." Yuusuke walked up behind Holly.
Holly turned to look at the boy, puzzled, "We just got here."
"Yeah, It's Holly's turn to play!" Keiko whined.
"And I said it's time to go... I need to... talk to you, Holly," Yuusuke's temper was obviously flared.
Holly had no idea what the boy's problem was until she went to pick up her bag to leave and noticed the bells were moving. 'Oh by the Lady I hadn't even been paying attention!' She picked up the bag and faced the group of boys standing in front of her. "Isn't it something we can discuss here?" She tried stalling for time to come up with a half decent plan. She also needed to know what Yuusuke knew about her... or what he didn't.
"I'm afraid not," Hiei stated coldly.
Keiko was getting more and more furious by the second, "Now just wait a second you over grown apes! Holly is not someone you can boss around like this!"
"It's ok Keiko," Holly said putting her hand up to hush the poor confused human girl.
"Keiko get away from her, she's dangerous," Yuusuke commanded.
"You call me dangerous? How would you know if I am or not?" Holly snapped.
"We've heard enough about you, Sirine," Yuusuke held up a tiny circular object. "You should have come up with some sort of disguise of those bells of yours."
Holly cursed silently, so they about her race... which meant... ";Spirit Detectives... Shit. I should have known! Damn it Damn it Damn it! When you're fighting the Gods and Fates, of course I'd be end up right with Spirit Detectives!;"
Yuusuke looked back at Kurama, "What did she say?"
"She knows who we are now," Kurama stated.
"Good, now lets take this outside so we don't upset any of the fragile minds in here," Yuusuke pointed to the door.
"I'm afraid you have some troubles, detective," Holly growled. "You see I won't go back to The Void and I sure as all HELL am not ready to die yet."
"I'd say you have a problem."
"Really?" Holly's eyes flashed back into silver and her hair began to bleed back into it's natural purple. Faster then lightening Holly and Keiko both were surrounded by bells. "I'd take a step back if I were you..." As she said that the scarf around Keiko's neck took on a life of it's own and began to strangle the girl. 'I really don't want to hurt her... damn it! I hope he buys the bluff...'
"How dare you!" Yuusuke's aura suddenly erupted and Holly gawked in surprise. "Let her go you... bitch!"
'Oh yep... That was a mistake, that would explain why Kurama was so attached to Yuusuke at this point. I didn't want to use that trump so early but I really need to get away from this group. I can't hurt them, yet if I don't I'll lose. Shit!' "Nightmare!" She called out.
Kurama made a howling noise and grabbed his heart.
"Kurama... You are mine!" Holly stated as the bells began to hum the music to the binding spell.
"What do you wish of me?" He asked calmly.
"Take care of the Spirit Detectives," She said as she began to back out of the arcade.
Hiei was the first to react, "Kurama!" He turned back to Holly and in the blink of an eye he drew his katana and charged. Just as suddenly the katana was caught by a rose whip. Hiei just stood in one place, seemingly unable to move.
"You will not hurt Her!" Kurama screamed.
In the momentary distraction Holly and Keiko disappeared.
"Kurama listen to me," Yuusuke begged. "You-"
"He's being controlled completely Urameshi," Kuwabara told his friend.
"No I can't fight, him," Yuusuke sighed in defeat. "We can't fight one of our own..."
"SHE told me to take care of you... so die!" Kurama whipped out at the group.
This seemed to snap the fire demon out of his trance. He easily dodged the attack and ended up next to Yuusuke. "You distract him... I have to knock him out."
"We can't do that to Kurama!"
"We have no choice. He would never forgive himself if he killed us," Hiei closed his eyes in a silent prayer to any God that might be listening, not that he believed they'd help but he had nothing else to go on.
The next attack came and the two split in opposite directions. Kurama adjusted his attack to follow Yuusuke, thankfully giving Hiei enough time to get behind the fox and knock him out.
Yuusuke slumped down a nearby wall and took out his communicator, "We are going to need a serious clean up crew Botan. We're at the arcade, come as fast as you can."
The crowd of people milling about all stood back as if there was some invisible line they couldn't cross. A million questions floated behind their panicked eyes.
"I told you this was going to suck," Yuusuke told Kuwabara who had joined him on the floor.
"So you did," the carrot-top nodded.
They both watched as Hiei looked over his friend carefully. Anxiety was written all over the normally expressionless face.
"I don't understand the Shrimp sometimes," Kuwabara muttered.
"Kurama is the only person he ever trusted... and now he's being controlled by a spell there is no cure for..." Yuusuke leaned back his head staring at the ceiling. "What more do you need to understand?"
"It just seems that there's more to it."

AN: I hope that made sense to everyone... I just can't do fight scenes to save my life! I also want to apologize because this does seem rather fast at least to me... but there's a reason for it and... yeah...
Please R&R!
