Kanna: I might be able to get the second one up before Anime Club today but I doubt it cause Harris is an *beep* (not sure if we're allowed to cuss here or not plus he has a tendency to read over my shoulders, which really bugs me!). I will reply to R&R's in my next chapter, I don't have time to right now.
Family?
"And who would 'us' be?" Hiei asked without turning around.
"You'll have to come with me to find out," the man replies.
"You're going to force me to come whether I want to or not Hikidasu," Hiei stated as he turned to face the demon standing before him.
((I'll buy something at the Pause for who ever can tell me what Hikidasu means, you've got to tell me your real name though cause I'm not good with nicknames unless I know the person's real name))
Hikidasu had short, ice blue spiked hair and bright, sky blue eyes. he wasn't much taller then Hiei and wore dark navy blue clothes.
"Your correct Hiei," Hikidasu replied calmly, "Now you'll come with me willingly if you wish Youko to live."
'What have you done to him!?' Hiei deseperately wanted to ask but he knew that Hikidasu wouldn't tell him.
Hikidasu walked passed Hiei. "Follow me," He then seemed to disappear. Hiei vannished a second later.

"Koenma-sama! Kurama is deadly ill and Hiei has disappeared! You cannot ask me to order Yusuke, Kuwabara and Genkai to take on this threat from the demon world alone!" Botan argues angrily, her voice giving away how worried she truely was.
"Botan! I am not asking you to do anything! I am ordering you to do that! If my father finds out about this outbreak of demons in the human world, especially if they're the group of demons they claim to be, then there will be all hell to pay!" Koenma says from behind his desk.
"But Koenma-sama, do you really wish to put the humans inthe middle of it all without Kurama and Hiei's knowledge and back-up?"
"They'll have Yukina and yourself. Between the two of you they should have all the back-up and knowledge they need."
"Koenma,sir, Hiei told Yukina to take care of Kurama until he came back. Besides Hiei would probably refuse to listen to you if you ordered Yukina into the fighting and she got hurt."
Koenma sat there staring at his desk. Botan had a point and if he lost control over Hiei then who knows what the angry fire demon would do. "Alright Botan, you win. But, before you go and tell them that the mission is postponed, you need to find Hiei." Koenma dismisses her and sighed. He hoped that his father didn't find out about the demons before he got the problem under control.

"We can take care of the demons without the midget's help," Kuwabara exclaimed angrily. He liked Hiei about as much as Hiei liked him.
"What are we gonna do about Kurama though?" Yusuke asked calmly, ignoring Kuwabara.
"Kurama will have to stay here under Yukina and Keiko's care." Genkai stated. It made no sense to her to move Kurama or to force Yusuke's girlfriend to help them find someone who thinks she's useless when she'd do much better to stay and help take care of Kurama. They had all established that Yukina wasn't going with them after she had told them what Hiei had asked her to do.
After a few seconds of starting at the floor in silence everyone's gaze slid to the door connecting the room Kurama was in and the one they were in. The only movement in the room was Yukina or Keiko getting up to get something. Kurama lay on his bed, covered in sweat. No matter what the two girls tried to do they couldn't bring his fever down. All of his body was hot to the touch. He would open his eyes occasionally but they never appeared to focus on anything or stay open for more then a minute or two before closing again for hours.

Hiei and HIkidasu appear in the middle of a large circle of demons. Hikidasu joined the ring, leaving Hiei alone in the center of the circle.
"So Hiei, you've come back," One demon said in a deep voice. He appeared to be the oldest in the group.
"If I remember correctly your the ones that tossed me off the island," came Hiei's calm reply.
"I couldn't allow a fire demon live among ice demons. YOu would have been a danger to us all but that doesn't matter now because,, regardless that your angry about that your friend Youko Kurama, the great theif, will die unless you do what we want," The demon replied, chuckling to himself as saw the torn look Hiei was having difficulty keeping off his his face.
Hiei wanted to kill the demon standing in front of him but he knew that wouldn't save Kurama. He also wanted to go check and see if Kurama was alright but knew he couldn't do that either.
Kanna: It's just occured to me that the island Hiei was born on was in fact all females. Unfortunately I've already written past this chapter and I beg my readers to please forgive my mistake. For this story there will have been guys on the island.
