~Chapter 11~

~ Dream World~

"Come on if you don't hurry up were toast" said a young male voice to a figure in the tree.

"HN we will be fine, go ahead with the others" said another, the figure below nodded and ran in the opposite direction.

A flash of black was seen from tree to tree until.

-BAM-

Hiei slammed into something hard and fell back against the tree. He looked around for what it was but found nothing.

"HN" he stepped forward and then, a young girl hung down from the branch above him.

"Hello" she said with her head tilted to one side, he looked at her, he was no more than 8 himself, and this creature looked a year or two younger.

"I said Hello" she said in a high girly squeaky voice.

"Out of my way human" he said as he tried to brush past her. But she stopped him with a hand on his chest; she dropped from the branch she had been holding onto.

"You could have at least said you're sorry" she said with a glare her eyes were a crystal blue that shot through his heart like ice, she had on a pink frilly dress and her curly white-blonde hair was in a high pony tail on top of her head, in a pink scruntchy.

He examined her more and then realized she had a TAIL!! That's what was holding her this whole time.

"WHAT ARE YOU" he said with a questionable look, she frowned "That's not very nice" she said crossing her arms.

"Oh then explain this" he said grabbing her tail, she looked slightly dizzy as she stole it back.

"Don't touch that!" she said petting her tail.

"You're not human!" he said.

"Well duh" she said sarcastically.

"Come on" said a voice below them, "I don't have time for this" he said brushing past her.

"Don't you want this?" she asked holding a sack in her hand, Hiei checked his pockets.

"How did you get that?" he asked as she kept it out of his reach, though she was shorter than him.

"Magic" she said giggling.

"Where are you?" said a male's voice.

"Uh oh" she said, "Gotta go, here" she said handing him the sack and before he knew it she kissed him on the cheek and had disappeared.

~ End of dream~

"Ah" yelled Hiei jolting up, 'Man I haven't dreamed that in forever I wonder why I am now? Huh stupid girl' he thought as he touched his cheek and frowned pulling the sheets over his head.

Marshall walked into barracks and lit a blank bomb rolling it to the middle of the room.

BAM BAM BAM

Both Ross and Bruce sprung up throwing themselves onto the ground for protection.

"RISE AND SHINE CHILDREN AND WELCOME TO CAMP MARSHALL NOW PUT ON YOUR HAPPY FACES CAUSE TODAY IS GOING TO BE THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE" he yelled as they got up and dressed hurriedly.

They ran outside to meet a cold wind.

" Good morning, Now I see you like food well there will be none for the next three days, now that I have settled that, We start day one" he said taking out a club.

"Now I believe that pain is the basis of life, so today and for the rest of your days that is how I am going to teach" he said slamming the club into Bruce as he tumbled over.

"Hey you sack of shit that was no fair" said Ross leaing over to make sure he was still breathing.

"O h I don't appreciate that kind of language coming from a lady on my camp" he said hitting her with the club she doubled over and stared up, blood dripping from her mouth.

"Im no lady" she said fixing her composure.

"OH is that so, you just won yourself a week in the hole" he said poking her in the back with the club, to a small sunken in area, surrounded by a 10 foot brick wall with no ceiling.

"You don't want to be treated like a girl, fine welcome to you're new home" he said pushing her in and slamming the barb wired door.

She collapsed on the mud floor, knowing she had been beat.

~ One Month Later~

The boys sat at their usual table, and listened to their surroundings.

"Man did you hear about Ross" said a boy with glasses, he pushed them up.

"I heard they killed her, and hacked her into little pieces" he said as they table laughed.

"Yeah right they wouldn't have made it that east for her" said another.

"No I saw it, I saw them carry her body off the grounds" said one with blond hair.

Yusuke's vein pulsed, he felt like blowing up this whole damn camp.

"Man this is so stupid" said Yusuke gamming his fork into his 'meatloaf'.

The table looked at him in curiosity.

"EXCUSE ME IS THERE A YUSUKE URAMESHI PRESENT" said a Tall pudgy man.

"Man maybe it's about Ross" he said as he stood up.

"Yeah right there" he said making the entire canteen turn to face him.

"Come with me" said the man, motioning Yusuke out the door.

~Later~

Yusuke came back into the Mess Hall with a look of disbelief on his face.

"What is it Urameshi?" asked Kuwa.

"Im leaving" he said as the entire table dropped their forks.

"What" said Hiei angrily.

"Im leaving I have to go train for this Dark Tournament think" said Yusuke quietly.

"Really" said Kurama.

"Yeah, isn't it great" he said laughing.

"Indeed" said Kurama as the others and himself stood up and left, the Mess Hall.

They walked outside it was raining heavily, and then a heard a shrill scream.

"What was that?" asked Kurama on alert.

"I don't know, but lets not stick around to figure it out" said Kurama as the others nodded and began to run to their Bunker.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ross looked up weakly at the sky, the rain poured down her bruised and bloody face, she screamed as they hit her again.

She was tied to a pole in the middle of the pouring rain, the officers had their sleeves rolled up and hit her again, she screamed.

Her bruised abdomen and body ached from their abuse; he eyes were stained with blood and her hair messy and dirt with soot.

A large guard ran up and kicked her in her right knee making her scream bloody murder.

"Why don't you just cry already girl" said Marshall taking her roughly by the hair.

"NEVER" she stuttered as he looked at her, she clenched her teeth.

"She's done stick her in the pen" he said passing her as the guards untied her broken body and threw her in the muddy hole, slamming the door shut.

She couldn't move every time she moved a muscle, her body screamed in agony, 'Damnit' she thought as she moved herself into a painful sitting position, she breathed hard, spitting out some blood and looking up at the sky, the rain washed away some of the salt from her eyes, and she grimaced as she pulled out her 'Journal' and writing.

- I've been in this hole for three weeks now, and the time I spend outside it I am healing from the beatings I receive, I haven't had a shower in a week and knee is badly in need of attention, Damn them I will not give them their satisfaction, I REFUSE I will stay in this pit of mud until I die, or until Hell freezes over-

She stopped she heard a noise in the now night sky, "Who's there?" she asked shutting her journal and placing it in her shirt.

"It's me" said Bruce's voice; she moved closer to the entrance of the pit and looked out to see teal eyes staring at her.

"Hey" she said weakly with a smile, "I have something for you" he said pulling out a two rolls from underneath his shirt.

"Oh no Bruce I can't take"

"Take it, you haven't eaten in days, and besides I owe you" he said as she took the bread and stuffed it in her mouth.

"Thanks" she said with she chewed.

"WHO GOES THERE" said a guards voice as a spot light moved to Bruce's position he moved out of the way, it stayed there for a few seconds and then moved on to its normal search.

" Here" he said handing her dry bandages, " Take care of that knee will you" he said as she took them and he moved swiftly back to the barrack.

She sat down and tore open her canvas pants, her right knee was in shambles, it looked gruesome as she tightened the bandages around it putting it back into the proper position.

She laid her head against the hard brick and fell asleep in the pouring rain.
