""What?" Hiei asked confused.

"I'm sorry Hiei, I just. don't love you..." Keiko said, looking down.

Hiei stared at her for a moment and walked away from the arena. "I think... I'm going to go too.." Keiko mumbled, walking in a different direction than Hiei.

"HEY! What about the match?" Kuwabara shouted.

"Leave them alone." Botan said, looking at Keiko in a weird way.

"Will the team leaders come forth!" Koto shouted, looking in both directions.

Hiei looked around, breathing in the fresh air. His mind kept on replaying what had happened just minutes ago.

Suddenly the wind shifted position and Hiei turned around, looking for the one who was spying on him.

"Sukura... please come out." Hiei snarled, his hand resting on the hilt of his kantana.

"Awww pooey! You figured me out." Sukura's sly voice giggled, being carried by the wind.

She appeared as black fog formed and a body appeared.

Her hair billowed out, moving, following the currents. Her eyes glinted black.

She wore a black see-through tank top dress, the bottom swaying.

Her body thrummed with spirit energy, a black glow forming around her body.

She moved towards him, her hands sliding down his chest, "Hello, Hiei. I've missed you."

"Sukura. What do you want?" Hiei asked, snatching her hand away and roughly pushing her.

"Your a little mean. Didn't you like my clone of your perfect Keiko?" she asked in a sly and silky voice.

"What? Your ... clone?" Hiei asked, his heart beating quicker.

"Yes... my clone."

"What did you do to the real Keiko then?" Hiei asked, his alarm rising.

"She's at my lair if you can call it that.. A bit hurt.. Maybe not by me, but by you. Saying you don't love her and all. That was mean Hiei. You broke her little heart." Sukura said sarcastically.

"Let her go." Hiei demanded, ready to strike her.

"If you kill me, she'll die as well. Keiko is unconsiense right now. If I die and my spirit energy is gone, then my power thats protecting her from.... creatures you wouldn't want to know about, will devour her."

Hiei growled, letting go of his kantana hilt.

"Now. You'll be able to get Keiko, if and only if you get up to the final level of the Dark Tournament. You'll be able to have an oppurtunity to fight with me." Sukura said, smiling.

Hiei slowly, reluctantly nodded.

"Al right then, I'll see you then." Sukura said, forming into the fog and giving Hiei a small kiss on the lips.

Keiko's body shook with cold, her head spinning in a whirlpool of memories.

A flash back of when Yusuke had broken up with her. Another time when Hiei had kissed her passionatly and embraced her.

She opened her eyes, becoming focused at her surroundings.

A trickle of blood fell from her head and Keiko gently touched it, flinching slightly.

She suddenly became very aware of something around her.

Keiko saw the darkness and pairs of yellow and white eyes, surrounding, circling her.

'Hiei? Where are you?' Keiko pleaded. 'Help me!'
