Chapter 6: Suspicions and a Visit

~~~~~~~Hiei's POV~~~~~~~~

Yukina, and I walked back into Kurama's house. The oaf was in a state of shock. He just

stared blankly, which I found very amusing. Everyone, excepting Shiori, was gathered around the

couch discussing what to do. We had just joined them when a huge figure cloaked in black

appeared from nowhere. We immediately went into defensive stance around Yusuke and the

girls, the ningens Kurama had brought tensed but did not move.

//... Kurama?//

/No idea. 001?/

/\ This is a holographic image of who we have been trying to defeat for years. The one we think

did this to your friend, Yusuke. To make a long story short, we're cyborgs he- /\

// What's a cy-bo-rg.//

/\ We're half machine. We each have special abilities. 009, Joe, is the most recent therefore the

most advanced. I have telepathic and telekinetic abilities. 002, the one with the long nose, has

jets in his feet so he can fly. 003, Francois, can sense things. 004, the one with white hair, can

shoot bullets out of each finger on one of his hands (that's why he's wearing the glove) and has

missiles in each leg. 005, the huge one over there, has super- human strength and can talk to trees

and such... 006, the short one who cooked dinner, can shoot a 4000 C flame out of his mouth.

007, the bald one, changes shape. 008, the African American over there, can breathe under

water. And, of course, 009, Joe, he can move super fast at two speed levels. And that's all of us.

That is an image of Blackghost, he turned us into cyborgs against our will, we've been fighting

him ever since./\ The figure turned facing us.

"Your friend is alive, but not for long...Ha, Ha, Ha! You are all fools, seeing as how you took so

long to come to my ware house, I thought I would come and make sure you got my message. I

can see you did. I hope you come soon, your red-haired friend may have prevented him from

dying, but it is only temporary. Surely you realize this... Youko Kurama." He said Kurama's

name slowly, as though to draw attention to the fact that he had lied to the cy-bor-gs about his

name. I glanced over to them. They had become even more apprehensive, now casting wary eyes

back and forth between the figure and our group. Kurama narrowed his eyes,

"Do I know you?" He asked calmly. The figure laughed again.

"No; but it doesn't take an idiot to find information on you, nor your little Reikai Tantei."

"It's not my Reikai Tantei, we work under Yusuke, and he under Koenma, though it is more of

Yusuke's than Koenma's."

"He was an easy target," he said indicating Yusuke, "I've been watching him ever since he died,

he was going to be my next cyborg, when he died I was going to steal his body especially when

the body came back to life suddenly. It was ideal: nobody home, nobody to miss him, him not

able to fight back, the cops probably wouldn't spend to much effort looking for him, but the one I

hired to steal the body betrayed me. He'd found out what I wanted with it, so instead he tried to

burn the house down. Fortunately, the body survived. Unfortunately, he came back before I could

make more plans. This was my opportunity, I tried to put the blame on you, but it didn't work."

He paused,

"How did you get your hands on Makai plants, you're but a ningen." I asked. He looked at me for

moment as though trying to figure out who I was.

"Ah, yes; Jaganshi Hiei, wielder of the Jagan eye, Forbidden child of the Koorime. It's common

knowledge you hate humans, yet here you are not just protecting one but fighting along side one

too." He laughed. Normally this would have really pissed me off, but I was a little preoccupied

with a bunch of ningens that suddenly showed up an attempted to steal Yusuke. I saw this and

yelled,

"Fox, their going after Yusuke meet up with me later." Then grabbed my unconscious friend's

body and ran. They'd have no trouble with the ningens, they are just ningens after all, and

Kurama would have no trouble finding me after they'd finished. I ran to the forest where I could

easily hide with Yusuke.

~~~~~~~Kurama's POV~~~~~~~~~

Hiei saw the humans trying to steal Yusuke before I did, grabbed him and left. The figure

flickered then disappeared, leaving me with a group of suspicious allies and ningens with guns...

and no idea as to where Kuwabara was. I yelled for Kuwabara, there was no way for human girls

to dodge the bullets, and if I wanted to defeat the humans I couldn't be protecting the girls. I got

my whip out, startling the cyborgs into action. We defeated the humans and the cyborgs began to

ask questions. I silenced them.

"Hiei is a member of this group as well, I will not say a thing unless we are all here. Come on

Kuwabara, he's this way."

/\Do you mind if we come?/\ 001 asked.

"Come if you want, but let me go ahead to make sure he won't attack you. Even if you had ki

signatures, we aren't familiar with them. Kuwabara, you lead them." and with that I left.
