Chapter 6 : Hostage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~8 hours later~
~On the edge of the Floating Island of the Koorime~
"Are we there yet?" Kawabara asked as he climbed along the cliff of the edge of the floating island, exhausted.
"Yes, Kawabara-san, we are almost there." Yukina replied, "Look! That's the top of the edge! Hurry!" as she climbed faster towards the top.
"You are such a disgrace to men." Yusuke gave Kawabara a dirty look.
"Shut up Urameshi!" Kawabara yelled, sneezing, "I am just exhausted because of the flu I got! I am NOT weak!!"
"Stop yelling and save your energy." Yusuke said as he sped up and reached the top of the edge.
Kurama smiled as he watched two argued. His smile faded away as he sensed the approach of a group of youkais... more precisely, a group of koorime.
Sensing the approach of danger, the group rushed towards the top of the cliff. They were shocked to see Yusuke, being the first one to reach the top, was in the fighting instance, facing a group of armed koorimes.
"Who are you?" shouted the leader of the koorimes, "What do you want? The Island of the Koorime does not welcome visitors! Leave before we force you to!"
Knowing well of Yusuke's short-temper, Kurama stepped between Yusuke and the koorimes, "We come in peace. We are looking for a friend who may got strayed on the island. We will leave as soon as we find him."
"Who is your friend?" the leading koorime asked, "We koorimes do not make friends with outsiders."
Kurama hesitated and thought, *Hiei is the Forebidden Child of the koorime tribe. I don't think it is a good idea to announce that he may be on the island...*
"Yukina?" the leading koorime shouted in surprise, spotting Yukina in the group, "What are you doing with all these outsiders? Don't you dare repeating your mother's mistake!! You are such a disgrace to the tribe!!" she yelled furiously.
"Captain Rain, I..." Yukina could barely manage to said anything before Kawabara stepped forward and yelled, "How dare you insult Yukina-san like that!!"
"You have no rights to speak here, outsider!!" Rain shouted angrily, "You make up some stupid excuses trying to fool us! And now you bring back a disgraceful bastard to the sacred island! You leave NOW or you will all die here!!"
Kurama was trying desperately to say something to smooth the situation. But Yusuke exploded before he could say anything, "What's the point of arguing with these bone heads?" he turned to Yukina, "Yukina, you sure he is here on the island?"
Yukina nodded, "Yes, I am sure. I have a very strong feeling that he is somewhere nearby..." she concentrated in following the invisible 'link' with her twin, "Somewhere in the northeast side of the island."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Yusuke turned around, facing the koorimes, "Let's go and find him and leave this hell of a place as soon as possible!" he said as he ran pass the group of koorimes in lightning speed.
"And nobody insults my Yukina-san will go without a lesson from the great Kazuma-sama!!" Kawabara yelled, released his rei-kan and started fighting with the koorimes.
"Wait Yusuke! Kawabara, no!" Kurama shouted, trying to stop his furious friends. *It is getting all out of control!* he thought as he dodged the attacks from two koorimes.
On the other side, Mukuro blocked the attacks of three other kooirmes, but she showed no intention to counter-attack. Instead, she concentrated in protecting Yukina.
Yukina watched in confusion as the Makai warlord block another attack aimed at her. She looked at Mukuro, "Why are you protecting me?"
Mukuro was a bit surprised by the questions. She thought while dodging an attack, "I am not sure. I just do whatever Hiei would do if he's here."

~Meanwhile~
~On the northeast side of the Floating Island of the Koorime~
Yusuke threw another punch at his attacker. The koorime blocked the punch with her staff but the residual force of the punch sent her flying dozen of meters away.
"Where the hell are you, Hiei?" Yusuke murmured as he surveyed the area. He then noticed a small hut hidden behind a gigantic rock, "You'd better be there. I am tired of fighting women."
Yusuke rushed towards the hut. He stopped as a shadow came between him and the hut.
"You shall not go near the hut!" Rain stood in front of the hut, holding her staff, "The person inside is important. I will not allow you to go near him!"
"Really?" Yusuke eyed the koorime with a cunning smile, "Then I must find out who is inside." he said as he charged towards Rain and the two engaged in fierce fighting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Meanwhile~
~Inside the hut~
Rei looked at the door, worried, "What is going on out there?"
She was very tempted to go outside and check out. However, she didn't want to leave her patient alone, especially with his worsened condition.
The fire demon had been unconscious for the past few days. He was having a high fever but his hands and feet were icy cold. Rei had tried everything to help the fire demon but no avail. The koorime elders were clueless about the antidote of the poison.
Suddenly, the fire demon shivered violently. Rei rushed to hold him. Then she heard a weak mumbling from the fire demon, "Yukina... Mukuro..."
To her amusement, the fire demon slowly opened his eyes. Instead of his usual bright crimson red eyes, they were dull and clouded.
"Got to help them..." he said as he tried to get up, only to fall back as his limbs were too weak to support him.
"Stay down, Hiei." Rei said in concern, "You should not move. Your body is too weak."
"I can't let them fight alone." the fire demon argued weakly.
"Listen to the lady, fire boy." came a sneaky deep voice.
"Who's there? Show yourself!" Rei demanded. She looked at the origin of the voice, only to see the shadow of a dark corner.
Sensing danger, Hiei used all his strength and stood up, holding his sword tightly in his hand. He listened very carefully for the faintest sound of movement.
A dark figure slowly walked out of the shadow, "Little fire boy, follow my orders and I may consider sparing your pity life." he said dangerously, an evil grin spread on his face.
"In your dreams." Hiei said as he unsheathed his sword.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Meanwhile~
~Outside the hut~
Yusuke and Rain were still fighting when the others arrived the scene, with a group of koorime fighters following behind.
"Urameshi!" Kurama shouted as he blocked an attack from a koorime.
Mukuro was carrying Yukina in her arms when she noticed something, "What is it, Yukina?"
"Oniisan..." Yukina said in a fearful voice, "Oniisan is in the hut." as she pointed at the hut.
"What?" Kurama concentrated and tried to find his best friend's ki. He could only find a faint trace of it.
All of a sudden, the fire demon's ki rose, along with another unknown ki. But then Hiei's ki dropped dramatically with a clear 'cling' sound. The unknown ki continued to skyrocket to a S-class demon's level.
All people, including Yusuke and Rain, stopped fighting and looked at the hut in confusion and shock.
Mukuro rushed to the hut and opened the door. Her eyes wide-opened as she saw what was happening inside the hut.
Hiei's sword was on the floor.
Rei lied on the floor, unconscious.
A tall, muscular demon stood in the middle of the hut, an evil smile on his face. His right arm extended, holding a figure in mid-air.
Hiei, on the other hand, was struggling against the demon's hand on his neck.
"Finally," the tall demon turned and looked at Mukuro, "we meet again, my dear half-faced lady."
"Let him go, Hirota." Mukuro said dangerously, setting down Yukina, "He has nothing to do with this."
"Oh," Hirota teased, "my dear lady must have gone soft over all these years. You would have strike and kill this little fire boy in order to get him out of the way, instead of trying to spare his life."
"I am warning you, Hirota." Mukuro said, her heart ached as she saw the fire demon started choking, "Let. Him. Go."
"Ignore me." Hiei said weakly, "Strike him down."
Hirota tightened his grip around the fire demon's neck, "Shut up, fire boy. You have not rights to speak here."
Hiei found it almost impossible to breathe. He felt blood rolling at the top of his throat and saw stars dancing in front of his eyes.
"Stop that!" Mukuro yelled, "What do you want?"
"My dear lady," Hirota's evil smile widened, "you are as smart as ever. You know what I want. You always do."
Silence.
Yukina looked at her brother with her tearful eyes before turning to the Makai warlord, "What is it? What does he want?"
"My life." Mukuro murmured.
