Is it you?
I don't own yu yu hakusho.

Also not a yaoi fan fiction.

They listened to the scream for a moment and Rinku could feel his eyes welling up. The scream stopped suddenly and they could almost still hear it's ring haunting them.

Yusuke: what was that?
Rinku: it was Midori-Roku.
Chuu: ya' don't know that.
Rinku: yes I do! We have to go help her!
Touya: but we can't see in there?
Rinku: so what!

Rinku starts for the door holding back tears but Chuu grabs the back of his shirt. Rinku turns back to Chuu anger in his face.

Rinku: don't stop me! I have to go help her!
Yusuke: first lets get something so that we can see.

*~*~*~*~*~* Meanwhile, inside the room*~*~*~*~*~*

Midori-Roku is sitting in a chair with her arms bound to the handle and her feet also bound to the legs of the chair. She could barely feel a trickle of blood down her arm. She couldn't see but she could feel. After all she was a snake demon. She could smell the blood spreading down her arms. She could have also sworn that she had heard Rinku but she disregarded it.

She felt tired. Then she remembered that she was not alone. She smelled the air to feel that someone was there. Not Akai-Shi. She recognized it but she didn't know who it was. It could have been any of them.

Akai-Shi: just because you're here doesn't mean that you can defeat me.
Mystery voice #1: but it is not just me. After all you do not think that I would be dense enough to not think about the laws of the situation.
Akai-Shi: the laws can be bent.
Mystery voice #2: but not broken. Blah blah blah. That is all you ever said. Now if you would be kind enough to give Midori-Roku back we will be on our way.
Akai-Shi: and I would give you to her why?
Mystery voice #1: I am bored with this.

Midori-Roku heard a slash and foot steps towards her. Then she heard a few other sounds but finally the stopped and she smelled blood. Not much but some. Then one of the people came towards her. She closed her eyes and waited for a moment. Then she felt a tug on her ropes and they went slack. She opened her eyes to see one glowing red eye. She moved her left hand to her right arm to put pressure upon the gash on it. She smiled and she could tell that they were smiling back.

Midori-Roku: is it really you Aoi-Go?
Kuroi-Ku: (yeah yeah I know repetitive names) and me. You remember me right?
Midori-Roku: Kuroi-Ku?
Kuroi-Ku: yeah but you can just call me Cress. I go by that now, don't like the attention.
Midori-Roku: it has been so long.
Aoi-Go: I also go by a different title. You may call me Mech (Meh- k).
Midori-Roku: I cannot believe that it is really you. I have not seen you in so long.
Cress: and I you. But I believe that those newfound friends of yours have come.
Midori-Roku: they have? Where are they?
Mech: over by the door.
Midori-Roku: I should go get them.
Mech: they have come far to find you and it would be. . . shall I say disappointing to find that you are fine and their trip has been for nothing.
Cress: I say that we leave and find them later telling them that you do not wish to speak about your trials at freedom. Of course not in that form but if we are to leave we must be swift about it.
Midori-Roku: I suppose. But I will leave a note for Rinku.

A few minutes later they were gone. With a bloodied chair and simple note on the seat of it with severed rope littering the ground.

*~*~*~*~*~*Note*~*~*~*~*~*

You are my one and only love. Your tenderness would lift me up and above. But you've shown me what really matters, But the feelings that I had for you will live forever in their tatters. But nothing can bring me back once I'm gone. For I will have to be alone in the early of the dawn. You leave me here with nothing to fake, I can't believe I made this mistake. I love you truly forever and always, But soon there will be nothing that will fill my lonely days. With love I tell you how I feel, My loneliness that will forever seal. Never can I once go back, For now I show my love to lack. With nothing here, And with nothing found, I shed a tear, But you've shown me to the ground. I cry, I sob, I try, But I can't stop. This feeling that I know you know, Will bring me to let you go.

Although it may be of little use to you now I fear that you have lost something that may have been more important than most. I know that I can never bring it back but it had to be done. I pray thee the best and in truth I am fine. I shall meet again with you my love. I promise you that if nothing else. We will meet again although not in the spirit realm. I bid adieu to thee for the time being my love. My one and only true love forever.

*~*~*~*~*~*End Note*~*~*~*~*~*

From the outside they all heard a few sounds as Yusuke had gone back up to get a flashlight from Botan. By the time he had come back he had missed it all. Little did they know that at this point Midori-Roku had already gone. As they ventured in Rinku was the first to find the chair. He ran up and read the note.

Touya: what does it say?
Rinku: she's fine. She says she will see us soon.
Yusuke: does she say when?
Rinku: no but she says she will.

They all left after they had made sure that nobody was there. They all wracked their brains to try and figure out how she had gotten out but could not figure it out.

As they left the dark cave little did they know that a pair of mismatched eyes were watching them. Tearing up at the sight. They closed, shed a tear and turned away and left for a while. That would be the last time for a while that Rinku would see those beautiful sea green and pistachio mismatched eyes. They disappeared into the dark forest.

A/N: CLIFFHANGER. If that's what you call it. Perhaps it was anti- climactic but I liked it and that's all that really matters. Need three reviews to update and I have computer dolls of all the characters that aren't yu yu hakusho. Just ask me and I'll send them to you. And I'm still asking for people to join in on the fic but if you don't want to be by the time I post next chapter then I can't put you in. So you have about one week if you want to be in my fic then the offer is closed.
