Sorry that took a while. Here is chapter 11! This fic is probably going to
be a little longer than I expected it to be. LOL ^^;; But that's good
right?

Own no.

"Hiei, do you know where we're going?" Yoko asked as we walked by a tree, one of many in the forest that was between that hill and the fortress.
"Maybe . . ." I grunted getting really annoyed at all the plant life.
" . . . Perhaps if I lead we'll get there TODAY. We've already wasted 4 hours!" He yelled at me grabbing my shoulder and turning me to look at him.
I shook my head yes and he walked ahead of me, kissing my cheek first for some reason.
He took a step forwards and instantly found his foot trapped in a vine the rested on the ground. He tried to jerk it off with no luck, so I bent down and started to do it for him.
"Good start." I grunted at him sarcastically.
He responded to my remark by kicking my shoulder with his, now free, foot, knocking me over.
I quickly stood and brushed myself off making sure to give him a look.
"Come one, before it gets dark and we have to wait until tomorrow, AGAIN. Of course . . . if we do have to . . ."
"Shut up right now . . ." I started walking over besides him. We both started to pick up the pace, making sure to avoid stepping in anything that would get us caught. "I told you, when we're DONE." I told him giving a slight smile.
I knew he didn't really want to sleep with me again. And neither did I. (Well that's not all completely true but mostly yeah . . .) we really did enjoy each other's company, we could talk about things. We understood one another, and we loved each other.
"You're cute when you care." Yoko said to me mockingly as he gave me a knowing smirk.
"Did you not hear when I told you to shut up?"
"Like you think you can threaten me . . . you wouldn't hurt me if I asked you to."
I started to run a little faster, making him have to try and catch up. As soon as he did I put out my leg in front of him and watched as he started to fall over.
Right before he made contact with the hard, bushy, ground, I reached out my hand and grabbed his arm, pulling him back up.
"You're right." I said softly as I closed my eyes and continued walking.
He gave a soft smile and hurried to walk besides me.
After another hour or two of walking around we made it out of the forest. I looked up and saw the fortress was a whole lot bigger than I expected.
"Damn . . ." Yoko sighed almost sarcastically as he looked at it for himself. "That's pretty huge."
"Yeah . . . do you still think we can make it out the same way we go in?" I asked turning to give him a smirk.
"I guess not. A place this big must hold a LOT of security. What exactly did these demons do?" Yoko asked turning to look at me curiously.
"Well, as far as I know, they re-stole the Conjuring Blade." I told him with a laugh. "I think that's why Koenma sent Kurama along with me. Like I'd want that useless thing anymore anyway . . . I'm strong enough as I am right now." I explained. "But because they do have it we can expect even more protection because of its power."
"Do you really not want it Hiei? You know if you do we can return it to them and then I'll get it for you." Yoko said to me, I think he was being sarcastic but I couldn't tell.
"Umm . . . no . . ." I sighed shacking my head as I took a step back behind a bush, followed by Yoko.
"Are those treasures really THAT easy to steal?" Yoko asked with a laugh.
"It only seemed easy for my group because we had Kurama on it. He, um, and you, are especially good at that kind of thing. They must have someone pretty strong with stealing too." I said to him with a smirk. "You ready?"
"Almost . . ." He sighed hesitantly.
"What is it?" I asked curious about his rather sad expression.
"Well . . . it's just . . ." He stammered looking back and forth between me and the ground.
"Spit it out!" I yelled perhaps a little too loudly.
" . . . Hiei, what if that someone is stronger than me?" He asked looking over at me with watery eyes.
The sight wasn't quite right, but it unlocked a deep pain in my heart to see it, his sadness.
"What do you mean . . .?" I asked putting my hand on his cheek.
"What if that demon is more powerful than even the two of use put together? What if, what if one of use or both of use doesn't make it? I . . ." He started to finished but stopped to hold back tears as he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly. "I love you . . ."
^*^*^*^
Sorry that was kind of short. It's just I'm kinda hungry now and want to eat dinner LMAO.
